Seeing that Sun Yuan Xuchengzi's heart jumped into his throat.
Looking again at Chen Yulin's eyes, which seemed to be spewing out real flames, Xuchengzi knew that if he couldn't explain himself clearly, he probably wouldn't be able to get through this ordeal today.
no!
I absolutely refuse to admit it!
Xuchengzi had something on his mind, gritted his teeth, and denied Sun Yuan's words.
"Hmph! I don't know what nonsense you're spouting. You're accusing me of colluding with the Devil Race? You think you can frame me with just a soul jade slip? If I were several realms higher than the other person, wouldn't I be able to control them with my soul power and create a fake soul jade slip?"
Xuchengzi's words successfully turned the tide for him; similar situations had occurred before.
Chen Yulin frowned. To accuse someone without solid evidence would not be good for the reputation of Asura Island.
However, Situ Jiannan spoke up at this moment, "If you weren't colluding with the Devil Race, how could you know their evil magic? Xuchengzi, you really are ruthless. Even among the Devil Race cultivators, few would kill their own flesh and blood, but you..."
Situ Jiannan's hesitant words prompted Xuchengzi to scoff. "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext! I don't know what kind of evil magic you're talking about."
Clearly, Xuchengzi was determined to stick to his guns; only in this way could he have a sliver of hope for survival today.
However, faced with Xuchengzi's stubbornness, Situ Jiannan didn't get angry but laughed instead, glancing sideways at his brow. "Didn't the Devil Race tell you that using this evil technique would taint your soul, causing death energy to condense and your brow to turn black? Look at your own brow, and you still dare to say you haven't practiced evil techniques?"
Panic was clearly visible in Xuchengzi's eyes, yet he dared not actually look at the space between his eyebrows.
Just as he was losing his composure, Situ Jiannan pressed his advantage, " Xuchengzi, are you still not awake? The Devil Race are simply using you. When the death energy between your brows condenses to a certain degree, you will become demonized and controlled by the Devil Race, turning into a mindless walking corpse that only knows how to kill."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Xuchengzi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, " Xuehai Moluo himself is cultivating the Blood and Bone Linked. If what you say is true, how could he cultivate it on his own?"
A slip of the tongue in the heat of the moment stunned hundreds of sects within the Soul-Burying Mountain Range.
Meanwhile, thousands of meters away at the Blood Demon Sect's location, Sect Master Xuehai Moluo stared wide-eyed.
He never expected that Xuchengzi would be forced to reveal the truth by such a low-level provocation.
It's not the god-like opponents you should fear, it's the pig-like teammates!
However, it wasn't that Xuchengzi himself was mindless, but rather that someone in the room exerted pressure on his soul.
As Xuchengzi revealed the truth, Chen Yulin glanced back at the Firmament Hall: " Lü Ren's ' Four Souls' Lives ' is truly becoming more and more exquisite; he can subdue Xuchengzi with the power of his soul Immovable."
Dressed in a long white robe and holding a folding fan, the refined-looking Lü Ren smiled calmly, "My little tricks are hardly worthy of your attention."
Lü Ren's actions were clearly under orders from above, secretly assisting Lin Heng and the others, which led to the scene just now.
Under Situ Jian'an's relentless questioning, Xuchengzi grew anxious. Coupled with Lü Ren's soul pressure, the two forces combined caused him to lose his usual composure.
Now that the truth was out, Chen Yulin secretly gave a wink to the two powerful figures from Asura Island behind him.
The two disappeared from their original positions in a flash. Having reached the Eighth-Transformation Samsara Realm, and just as Xuehai Moluo and Xuchengzi were in a state of mental chaos, the two Xuchengzi Asura Island experts appeared directly behind them. Only then did they react, but it was too late.
In an instant, time within a radius of fifty feet around Xuchengzi was completely frozen.
The supernatural power that can only be used by those who have reached the Seventh-Transformation Samsara Realm Time Stasis, which at this moment demonstrates its overwhelming power over lower-level Samsara Realm cultivators.
Xuchengzi, Sun Yuan, Situ Jiannan, and the dozen or so people from the Qian Yuan Sect standing behind Xuchengzi remained completely Immovable.
However, there was one person in the arena who was not bound by the Time Stasis, and that was Lin Heng.
Just as the opponent unleashed their supernatural power, Lin Heng reflexively moved, but in the blink of an eye, he withdrew his outstretched hand and remained seated, choosing to observe quietly.
The Eighth-Turn Samsara expert from Asura Island glanced at Lin Heng in surprise, but seeing that Lin Heng made no other move, he swung his sword and slashed Xuchengzi across the waist.
One sword can sever life and death!
As the sword flashed past Xuchengzi's waist, the Asura Island expert glanced at Lin Heng again before leisurely returning to the main platform and standing behind Chen Yulin once more.
On the other side, the cultivator who attacked the Blood Demon Sect completed his mission in just a moment.
The little incident ended just like that, barely mentioned.
Asura Island used swift and decisive action to send a clear message to its subordinate forces: don't try anything funny in front of them.
Chen Yulin glanced at the two corpses lying on the ground, then gave Lin Heng a deep look.
The fact that it remains unaffected when Time Stasis is enough to earn Chen Yulin's high regard.
Chen Yulin then sat back down in his seat, nodded towards the Heavenly Fall Pavilion, and the latter smiled slightly in response.
The Blood Demon Sect is a subordinate force of the Heavenly Fall Pavilion, and what Asura Island just did was somewhat of an overstepping of its bounds.
However, the Heavenly Fall Pavilion showed no remorse for this, which was a view unanimously accepted by the five major powers and an absolute authority.
The death of a few insignificant sect cultivators is nothing, but it is essential to make all sects understand that the authority of the five major powers cannot be challenged.
To put it simply, it's hegemonic rule!
Your Qian Yuan Sect is a force under my Asura Island, so you should just obediently maintain good relations with the forces under Asura Island. Joining forces with other forces to cause trouble is absolutely not allowed.
Conversely, the same was true on the Heavenly Fall Pavilion's side, so when Chen Yulin had his men kill Xuehai Moluo, the Heavenly Fall Pavilion showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
After all, the spoils have already been divided. If subordinates cause trouble, it will only damage the interests of those above, which is absolutely unacceptable.
After Xuchengzi of the Qian Yuan Sect was killed, Situ Jiannan spoke again to Chen Yulin, saying loudly, "Senior Chen, the Qian Yuan Sect is now leaderless, and my master wants to take over the Qian Yuan Sect."
Chen Yulin showed no objection, and smiled with narrowed eyes, "In this competition, you can represent the Qian Yuan Sect. If you can achieve good results, the Qian Yuan Sect will be yours in the future."
After finishing his formal statement, Chen Yulin also used telepathy to tell Lin Heng, "If you can achieve a top-eight ranking in the martial arts competition and represent my Asura Island in the struggle for this new Origin Vein, I promise you that you can expand the territory of the Qian Yuan Sect to tens of millions of miles."
