That Was a Flood Dragon!

Sect Master Wu's words practically pinned the blame entirely on Jiang Zhuoxue.

Fearing that no one would believe him, he showed everyone the Image-Retaining Stone he had kept hidden in his pocket for a long time.

"All the evidence is in here. My Limitless Sect will not wrong any innocent person, nor will it let a wicked dragon who has committed numerous evils go unpunished!" Sect Master Wu looked at Sang Ying and said meaningfully.

Sang Ying naturally sensed the sarcasm in his words, but when the Image-Retaining Stone took effect and displayed the images inside, Sang Ying no longer cared about arguing with this person.

In the scene, flames raged around the gloomy Peach Blossom Village, and screams filled the air. Only a figure hovering in the air watched the tragic scene below with indifference and disdain.

A smug smile played on his lips.

Even though it was too dark and the Image-Retaining Stone was too far away to capture a clear image of the person, everyone still recognized that the one who set fire to Peach Blossom Village was Jiang Zhuoxue!

Everyone was shocked. The disciples of Sword Frost Cliff and Star-Forging Sect turned pale, while the disciples of the Limitless Sect instantly became smug.

But the image captured by the Image-Retaining Stone wasn't over yet. The evil dragon was still gloating over its masterpiece when, in the next second, a human figure appeared in the Image-Retaining Stone.

"You wicked dragon, you've escaped the dungeon and are causing trouble here! Today, we will capture you and take you back to deal with you properly!" Sect Master Wu appeared before everyone, brandishing a sword and looking righteous.

Behind him were more than a dozen other powerful figures, and at a glance, it seemed that almost all the combat power currently residing in the Limitless Sect had been mobilized.

There's no need to see what happens next; just as the rumors say, the evil dragon struggled fiercely, even revealing its true form to fight against Sect Master Wu.

But under the combined attack of these powerful beings, the evil dragon was still defeated. Black scales fluttered, and a few drops of dragon blood fell. The defeat was both tragic and swift.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Limitless Sect disciples present immediately cheered, praising their sect leader. Sect Master Wu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, looking down at Sang Ying and her group with pity.

See? This is what happens when you go against him!

After enjoying the praise from his disciples, Sect Master Wu left satisfied, leaving the mountain gate for everyone to continue their debate.

However, he believed that his own disciple would ultimately win!

The dragon's defeat not only overjoyed the disciples of the Limitless Sect, but also caused the young man to kneel down again before the corpse, weeping uncontrollably. "Father, Mother, the Limitless Sect of the Wuji Sect have killed the dragon and avenged you! You can rest in peace now!"

Fang Chi moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but Sang Ying stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive. The situation is not right now. The massacre of Peach Blossom Village is a fact. Anything we say now will only add fuel to the fire." Sang Ying frowned slightly.

The others naturally understood that Sang Ying was right, but they simply couldn't bring themselves to just watch without explaining.

In any case, Jiang Zhuoxue had known them for so long, and Fang Chi and Hai Tingzhou had even spent several months with this person.

They knew that Jiang Zhuoxue might not be compassionate or kind to people, but she would never be a villain who would take her anger out on innocent people.

The group of people looked rather grim, while the young man beside them glared at them with venomous eyes. "Now that the Limitless Sect have produced Law Treasure to prove this, let's see what you have to say for yourselves!"

"What kind of attitude is this? The immortal you were talking about earlier used his power to teach you a lesson, and it was our Senior Brother Ji who helped you! Moreover, Fellow Sang Ying is a great benefactor who saved the entire Black Tortoise Realm. If it weren't for her, not to mention your parents, you would have died in the beast tide long ago!" Fu Shuangjiang's junior brother couldn't help but feel angry again.

He didn't know much about Jiang Zhuoxue's character, but if she dared to offend Sang Ying, he would definitely be the first to object.

The young man probably remembered Ji Fucang helping him up, so his gaze softened a bit when he faced him. However, he scoffed at what his junior brother Fu Shuangjiang had said about Sang Ying saving the Black Tortoise Realm.

"She's just an ordinary cultivator, her cultivation level isn't even half that of Sect Master Wu. She saved the Black Tortoise Realm? Ha! Stop trying to make yourself look good. It's said that the evil dragon is her contracted beast, and if her beasts dare to commit murder at will, then her master is definitely no good either!"

Dong Fuzhu's eyes widened, and she jumped up on the spot, shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting?! If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I won't be polite to you!"

Under the menacing stares of the crowd, the young man stubbornly retorted, "What? Did I say something wrong? That evil dragon that harmed people is related to her! Just because you possess Spirit Root, are we mortals not even allowed to speak?!"

His malicious gaze swept over Sang Ying: "You guys are being far too domineering."

"You!" Dong Fuzhu took a step forward, but Sang Ying reached out and pulled her back.

"Ignore him," Sang Ying reassured her junior sister. "He's lost his mind."

The young man, having suddenly lost everything, has become paranoid and unreasonable; no matter how much they try to persuade him now, he won't listen.

Instead of wasting time explaining these useless things to them here, we should go back and think of a solution.

Although everyone was in low spirits, they were still receptive to advice. After Sang Ying said a few words, they obediently left as Sang Ying suggested.

Only the Limitless Sect disciples who were watching the spectacle and the young man whose entire consciousness was consumed by anger remained.

Fu Shuangjiang and the others did not return to their own residences, but instead followed Sang Ying and the others directly into their courtyard. A soundproof array had been set up there, so they could talk more peacefully inside.

Since everyone in the room was one of their own, Sang Ying didn't hold back. Almost as soon as they entered, she stated directly, "The black dragon in that Image-Retaining Stone is a transformed dragon!"

Her dejected expression vanished instantly, and everyone rushed over, staring intently at Sang Ying.

Sang Ying exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly said, "This is something I discovered by accident. There is a difference between a dragon born in the first place and a dragon that is born later. Dragons are divine beasts favored by the Heavenly Dao, so they are born with strong scales and sharp claws. A dragon can only transform into a dragon after a long period of cultivation and several heavenly tribulations, but it is still not recognized by the true Dragon Race."

"Although the image in the Image-Retaining Stone is also a black dragon, and it looks very similar to Jiang Zhuoxue, it's not difficult to impersonate Jiang Zhuoxue once you learn the art of transformation. What really made me realize something was wrong was that during that battle, the black dragon's scales were easily knocked off, and after the dragon blood was spilled out, the group of cultivators seemed completely unconcerned."

The eyes of the few intelligent people present instantly darkened.

"Dragon Race's flesh isn't that fragile, and do you really think they wouldn't care about the blood of a true dragon? That black dragon is probably a fake dragon they've raised and created!"
