Chapter 92 - 92 90 Dongfang Wuya This Villain

Chapter 92: Chapter 90: Dongfang Wuya, This Villain Chapter 92: Chapter 90: Dongfang Wuya, This Villain Nan Sheng was both shocked and scared, looking at Sect Master Zuo sitting at the head in disbelief, “Why must this disciple undergo Soul

This unavoidably brought to mind another incident from the previous year. At that time, Shen Qinghe had accused Yan Changsheng of stealing the Heterodox Cultivation Manual for Nan Sheng’s sake. Because Shen Qinghe had no proof and everyone else sided with Nan Sheng, the matter was dropped.

Could it be that the incident was true, that it was indeed Nan Sheng who had taken Shen Qinghe’s secret manual? After all, Nan Sheng was capable of committing murder and robbery.

Seeing the silence at the scene, Dongfang Wuya’s lips curled in sarcasm, “Didn’t those elders previously swear by their conviction, claiming Nan Sheng wouldn’t commit such a heinous act against a fellow disciple? Now that you’ve seen the clear truth, why does no one step forward to accuse Nan Sheng of murder? Aren’t you all self-proclaimed upholders of the Righteous Path?”

The expression of the elders was one of embarrassment. They hadn’t expected the accusation to be true. Why would Nan Sheng want to kill Qinghe?

Qinghe’s cultivation base was lower than Nan Sheng’s, and her talent was not as high; she simply did not obstruct Nan Sheng in any way, making the matter illogical.

Sword Master Tian Yan, after the initial shock, finally regained his composure, defending Nan Sheng, “Shengsheng is by nature good-hearted, how could she commit such a cruel act against a fellow disciple? I saw clearly earlier on—she was controlled by some evil being. Shengsheng, am I right?”

Nan Sheng was writhing in pain. Hearing Sword Master Tian Yan’s words, she wept silently, “M-Master, I don’t remember any of this at all, I don’t know what h-happened…”

As she spoke, she crawled to Shen Qinghe’s feet, crying and saying, “Qinghe, I’m sorry, I really don’t remember anything like this. If I had known, I would have confessed to Sect Master as soon as I returned.”

As she spoke, she looked at her own hands, seeming unable to believe she had committed such a cruel act against a fellow disciple.

The other Cultivators watching the scene exchanged looks, also unsure whether to believe Nan Sheng’s words. But seeing her sincere remorse and regret, it did not seem feigned.

Shen Qinghe watched Nan Sheng’s self-directed performance, moving farther away from her and said indifferently, “All I want is justice, and I also wish for everyone to know what truly happened in the Red Moon Secret Realm. As for why Nan Sheng hated me enough to want to kill me, that, only Nan Sheng herself knows. Initially, I couldn’t understand why, with her high cultivation talent, she was still coveting my Heterodox Cultivation Manual.”

When Yan Changsheng heard this, he knelt before Sect Master Zuo and the elders, “Last year it was indeed I, with my profound cultivation base, who knocked Qinghe unconscious and took the Heterodox Cultivation Manual from her…”

He carefully narrated the events, adding in the end, “In this matter Medical Cultivator Li was an accomplice. If Sect Master calls Medical Cultivator Li for a thorough interrogation, the truth will be revealed.”

Nan Sheng could not believe that Yan Changsheng would turn against her at this juncture. How could he treat her like this?

She was the woman he loved most. By revealing this matter, he too would face punishment.

Medical Cultivator Li was hiding in the crowd, not expecting Yan Changsheng to expose him at this crucial moment. He instinctively thought to flee, but when someone spotted him, they blocked his path and pushed him into the Council Hall.
