Only then did Xuan Tianba continue, "I have already used Time Reversal to investigate this matter and uncover the truth."
He paused, then turned his gaze toward "Liu Ruyan," his tone carrying a hint of complexity.
"Li Ao, harboring a personal grudge against our sect's guest elder, Yang Lingtian, secretly set an ambush, intending to kill him."
"Unexpectedly, that Yang Lingtian's strength was bizarrely formidable. Not only did Li Ao fail, but he was instead severely wounded by him."
"At the critical moment, Saintess Liu Ruyan sought revenge for Li Ao and cleansed the sect of its traitor."
"She did not hesitate to burn her essence blood and employ a secret art, engaging Yang Lingtian in a fight to the death."
"In the end, Yang Tianling was executed, but the Saintess also suffered severe injuries and teetered on the brink of death."
Xuan Tianba's voice echoed through the great hall, every word ringing clearly in the ears of all the elders.
The results of this investigation were like another enormous boulder thrown into a tranquil lake, once again stirring up a monstrous commotion.
The elders all leaned toward one another, whispering and discussing the matter, their voices filled with shock and doubt.
"My heavens, the Holy Son actually ambushed a guest elder over a personal grudge, only to be killed instead?"
"This... How could this be possible? With Holy Son Li Ao's strength, even if that Yang Lingtian had some tricks up his sleeve, it shouldn't have come to this, should it?"
"The Saintess actually burned her essence blood to kill Yang Lingtian in revenge for the Holy Son?"
"Her Ladyship the Saintess really is... truly righteous and loyal!"
Although Li Ao was the Holy Son within the sect, he had always acted tyrannically and made no shortage of enemies.
