After his initial panic subsided, he quickly regained his composure. At this moment, he absolutely could not panic. He was betting that Qiaoqiao had no evidence at all. He hadn't been involved much in the Saint Pill incident from beginning to end, and no matter how they investigated, they couldn't trace it back to him.

Although his reaction was quick, his momentary hesitation did not escape the keen eyes of the audience. Some disciples had already become suspicious. Considering the previous incident of selling fake medicine, could Qiaoqiao be right?

Does this mean that all four major immortal sects were involved in the murder case in Envy Fish City?

Is their Cultivation World doomed?

Wait, there's also the Flowing Cloud Sect...

So far, the Flowing Cloud Sect has not been involved. In an instant, many disciples looked towards the Flowing Cloud Sect with burning eyes—the hope of the whole village, hang in there!

Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect:?

What's going on?

Is their Flowing Cloud Sect about to have a stroke of good fortune?

"Don't you have any self-awareness about whether I'm slandering you or not?"

On stage, Ning Xuan's anger had reached its breaking point. "Qiaoqiao, you're simply... courting death!"

He placed one hand on the small spirit beast's head and infused it with Spiritual Qi. Instantly, strange golden patterns appeared on the spirit beast's forehead, resembling a seal character. Mist rose, and the spirit beast's body swelled up as if inflated, becoming as tall as a small building. Its entire body was covered in a layer of corrosive mud. As it took a step forward, clumps of mud fell from its body to the ground, emitting a foul stench.

The smell was truly intoxicating, like rotten meat that had been corroded for dozens of days under high temperatures; some people in the audience vomited on the spot.

The war beast strode forward with firm steps, approaching Qiaoqiao step by step.

After the two fighting spirit beasts, the war beast roared, opened its mouth, and sucked both spirit beasts into its mouth, leaving them no chance to resist.

Keep in mind, these are two spirit beasts with Golden Core cultivation!

This means that its strength has approached that of Nascent Soul, and ordinary swords and blades cannot harm it at all.

This is a difference of two entire realms; Qiaoqiao has absolutely no chance of winning!

"Junior Sister!" Xiao Tingyu exclaimed angrily, "How dare he use such a spirit beast to participate in the competition?!"

Fu Fengyuan drawn his sword. "I'll go up and break the barrier. You all work together to rescue Junior Sister!"

"Wait a minute," Wen Zhi said, "Look at Junior Sister's expression."

Facing the ferocious war beast, Qiaoqiao remained calm and composed, leaving the others puzzled—could their junior sister possibly have a way to deal with the war beast? That seemed impossible.

Hesitating for a moment, Qiaoqiao took out another item from her storage ring.

Ning Xuan snorted coldly, "Battle beasts have no sense of smell, do you think the same trick will still work?"

Qiaoqiao shouted, "Who told you it's the same move?"

She took out a small mirror from her storage ring, placed it directly in front of the war beast's eyes, and with a flash of light, an image slowly appeared—the scene playing in the mirror was Elder Bing and Liu Xiu's secret rendezvous that night.

Liu Xiu smiled seductively at himself in the mirror, a smile that sent shivers down the spine of the beast. Then, seeing his clothes half-undone and his eyes gleaming, the beast felt as if it had been critically injured; both its eyes burned!

The image in the mirror seemed to possess some kind of magic, freezing it in place!

What... what is this?!

Qiaoqiao: [You don't understand, this is a psychological attack!]

According to a certain law, creatures with high physical resistance and thick skin are mostly simple-minded and cannot withstand mental attacks. Liu Xiu's mental attack was absolutely top-notch, causing indelible mental damage to the little mind of the battle beast!

This scene left the senior students in the audience dumbfounded.

They couldn't understand it, but they were deeply shocked!

At this moment, Qiaoqiao turned the mirror, and everyone saw the war beast reflected in the Zhaowu Mirror. It was covered with a heavy aura of resentment and the stench of blood was overwhelming. The mirror reflected the wails of countless wronged souls, which made everyone's scalp tingle.

"This... this is a ferocious beast bred from the lives of countless spirit beasts!"

"Look at those restless souls! How can the young sect leader sleep at night?"

"Absolutely outrageous!"

"It seems he'll be involved in all the affairs of Envy Fish City too!"

Just as Demon Beast cultivate by relying on Yao Qi, spirit beasts are animals raised on Spiritual Qi. Spirit beasts are more intelligent than ordinary animals, but they cannot speak human language. Spirit beasts are the best contract partners for cultivators.

Spirit beasts can also do evil, but most of them have pure hearts. What Ning Xuan did shows no trace of a righteous cultivator; he was no different from Devil Cultivator!

Qiaoqiao slowly put down the mirror. "Young Master Ning, are you still going to say you didn't do it? Using living people to refine pills, that was the inspiration you got from spirit beasts, wasn't it?"

Ning Xuan was furious, her face ashen. "Without any evidence, who gave you the audacity to slander this young master?"

Who says there's no evidence?

"I am the witness."

With a hoarse voice, a figure in gray robes stepped forward from the corner, "I am a disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect. I personally overheard the young sect leader plotting alchemy with others."

He showed his severed arm to the crowd, saying, "This arm was also bitten off by the gray wolf at the young sect leader's behest."

He was quickly recognized.

"I remember him, he's the one who sold fake Saint Pill!"

"It really is him!"

"This man is Ning Xuan's subordinate; I've seen him before!"

The crowd erupted in commotion, but Qiaoqiao was somewhat surprised.

It's Aqi!

He actually stood up and identified Ning Xuan?

Qiaoqiao blinked – this wasn't part of her plan.

Moreover, pointing the finger at Ning Xuan would bring him absolutely no benefit.

The only one capable of making such an arrangement is...

"Damn it!" Ning Xuan's face was completely contorted. He was the one who should have let the spirit beast tear open her throat, so how did things turn out like this?!

Ning Xuan could no longer tolerate it. He chanted an evil curse, determined to kill Qiaoqiao and everyone else!
