Evidence: Xu Zhen Was Actually a Member of the Demonic Cult

"Gentlemen, allow me to say something."

Zhao Tai's voice rang out slowly. He glanced at Wu Mu, who gave him a knowing look.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Mu pretended to be furious and said...

"President Zhao, what else is there to say? We are absolutely certain that Xu Zhen is colluding with the Spirit Devouring Sect. These people are so close to Xu Zhen, they must also be from the Demonic Path."

Spirit Devouring Sect!?

Many people in Fengyu City were shocked. This Demonic Sect was no ordinary sect; its strength was almost on par with the Xuntian Sect.

Furthermore, this Demonic Sect has no specific address, and its disciples are spread across many factions, making it extremely difficult to eradicate.

The Spirit Devouring Sect cultivates by devouring the Three Souls and Essence Spirits. Once targeted by them, death is almost certain, without exception.

Over the years, many people in Fengyu City have been brutally murdered by the Spirit Devouring Sect, so upon hearing about this sect, everyone felt indignant.

Zhao Tai waved his hand, stopping Wu Mu again, and then said calmly, "It's understandable that they might not know about Xu Zhen's situation."

As he spoke, he looked at the President of Xu Zhen's group.

"I have some information here about Xu Zhen's collusion with the Spirit Devouring Sect. Are you all interested? After reading it, I'm sure you won't think we've wronged the Treasure Pavilion anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhen's expression turned serious. He exchanged glances with the people beside him, all feeling that the situation was somewhat difficult to handle.

Zhao Tai must have made thorough preparations to use this excuse to cause trouble, so the evidence he presented next would naturally be flawless.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That means Xu Zhen is indeed a member of the Spirit Devouring Sect.

But that's not important. For the Trade Association guild that came to help him, whether Xu Zhen was a member of the Spirit Devouring Sect or not was completely irrelevant.

Importantly, Xu Zhen is fighting alongside them against the Three Great Merchant Associations, which means they are teammates.

Merchants only care about profit; they don't care much about justice or Evil. As long as it benefits them, they consider it right.

But with so many people in Fengyu City watching, if they don't see this evidence, the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion will be ruined, and it won't do them any good for their plans.

But what if this evidence proves that Xu Zhen is a member of the Spirit Devouring Sect?

That would be even more disadvantageous!

Xu Zhen stepped forward without hesitation and said loudly:

"I sit upright and act with integrity. I'd like to see if you're slandering me. Show me the evidence."

Zhao Tai's move was an open conspiracy, and he had no choice but to accept it.

Moreover, he was confident that he had never colluded with the Spirit Devouring Sect. Since it was not true, he did not believe that Zhao Tai could make something out of nothing true.

At the same time, Zhao Tai also transmitted his voice to the three people beside him.

"Rest assured, gentlemen, I have no connection whatsoever with the Spirit Devouring Sect."

Upon hearing this, the men's faces did not lighten; instead, they became even more serious.

If Xu Zhen has no connection with the Spirit Devouring Sect, then Zhao Tai's evidence is completely fabricated. To pin such a baseless accusation on the Treasure Pavilion, the only way would be through sheer force.

In other words, a battle today is inevitable.

Why!

They were all very puzzled. Did the Three Great Merchant Associations have an absolute certainty of victory over them?

Six Great True Immortals versus Five Great True Immortals —although there was a difference of one True Immortal, it was impossible for the Three Great Merchant Associations to ensure no one died.

Why fight a battle where you kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own?

A contemptuous smile appeared on Zhao Tai's lips. He raised his hand and threw a Recording Image Sphere into the air.

Everyone in Fengyu City looked up, eager to know whether Treasure Pavilion was affiliated with the Spirit Devouring Sect.

The Recording Image Sphere slowly cracked open, revealing an image to everyone.

It was a dark place, surrounded by stone walls, probably inside a cave. The flickering firelight cast long shadows of the two people, making them look like menacing demons.

In front of the two, a pile of emaciated corpses lay haphazardly, their faces still bearing the despair and pain of their lives, as if they had been drained dry by some monster.

This is...

Countless people's pupils suddenly contracted; the corpses were being drained dry—this was indeed the method of the Spirit Devouring Sect.

Although the Spirit Devouring Sect does not absorb the Bloodline power of the physical body, when absorbing the essence, it will also Extraction the Essence Blood of the body to enhance the power of their Life-Bound Weapon.

The Evil of the Spirit Devouring Sect lies in this: their cultivation Cultivation Method grow by absorbing the essence of other cultivators, and the weapons they use are also forged using special methods and fed with the Essence Blood of cultivators.

At that very moment.

The figure standing in front slowly turned his head, and everyone in Fengyu City felt a sense of suffocation.

Because that person was none other than the Third Elder of the Spirit Devouring Sect. Since the high-ranking members of the Spirit Devouring Sect were wanted and their portraits were displayed at the entrance of Fengyu City, many people recognized him.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to another figure from behind, glanced at it, and then quickly looked towards Xu Zhen.

"They really do look somewhat alike. Could it be that Xu Zhen is really from the Spirit Devouring Sect?"

"The Treasure Pavilion has been operating in Fengyu City for so many years. If he really is from Fengyu City, then this spy has been planted for far too long."

"President Xu of the Treasure Pavilion usually seems quite upright, so he shouldn't be a member of the Spirit Devouring Sect. However, this back view is just too similar."

Suddenly, murmurs arose, and many people's expressions turned serious.

Just then, the Third Elder of the Spirit Devouring Sect opened his mouth, as if he were saying something.

Because the Recording Image Sphere cannot record sound, it is unknown what was said.

Suddenly, the figure turned around and bowed to the Third Elder of the Spirit Devouring Sect.

The moment they saw that person's face, the world fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

How could that be!

In the scene, an Old Man in his fifties appeared, looking exactly like Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen really is a member of the Spirit Devouring Sect!

In an instant, everyone in Fengyu City showed expressions of anger.

"Damn it, that old bastard Xu Zhen is actually from the Spirit Devouring Sect! I even thought he was a good person, he's truly a beast in human form."

"The members of the Demonic Sect are all deserving of death; Xu Zhen must be killed!"

"And that Su Hua, his breakthrough was so fast, Certain be because he cultivated Demonic Cultivation Art, otherwise how could Su Hua have broken through to the True Immortal Cultivation Level so quickly?"

"Yes, I was curious before why someone with a Divine Body would stay in a place like the Treasure Pavilion instead of choosing to develop in the Xuntian Sect, where he would enjoy better treatment. It turns out he's also a member of the Demonic Sect, and he's afraid of being discovered by the experts of the Xuntian Sect, which is why he doesn't dare to the Xuntian Sect, right?"

Outraged voices continued to rise. At first, some people were skeptical because the Recording Image Sphere alone could not prove the facts.

However, after hearing these righteous analyses, they also concluded that Xu Zhen and Su Hua were members of the Spirit Devouring Sect.

These analyses are all so insightful!
