The group quickly flew to Wangyue Peak.
Yang Che immediately saw the beautiful and gentle Frost Moon Fairy, dressed in a well-tailored silver skirt, standing at the peak.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast upon her, making her as sacred and peerless as a Heavenly Immortal from the Nine Heavens.
Beside her, Liu Tong, the Tall Youth from the Liu family, stared blankly at the Frost Moon Fairy’s back, a look of infatuation flashing in his eyes.
It wasn't until Elder Liu Xiao, the sharp-faced, hunched, thin old man, gave him a harsh snort that Liu Tong hurriedly withdrew his gaze, his face showing an unnatural expression.
Wu Da, the bald old man and Deputy Hall Master of the Discipline Hall, glanced at the calm-faced Yang Che, then looked at Liu Tong, who had just shown an infatuated expression, and couldn't help but think more highly of Yang Che.
Frost Moon Fairy turned around, her gaze falling directly on Yang Che.
Her expression was serene, showing no trace of emotion.
At this moment, Elder Liu Xiao from the Liu family and the bald old man Wu Da both showed expressions of shock.
They were both genuine Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators at the peak of the Middle Stage, yet they couldn't discern the Frost Moon Fairy's cultivation level.
However, Chen Liansheng, the white-robed old man who was the Deputy Valley Master, showed reverence in his eyes and stood respectfully at the side, silent.
“Yang Che, I heard you have irrefutable proof of your innocence?”
Frost Moon Fairy’s red lips parted slightly, her voice still gentle and pleasant, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
Yang Che bowed and said, “Yes, Fairy. At that time, Liu Yuan and Leng Feiyun had a dispute and fought fiercely in Black Mist Mountain, ultimately perishing together.”
He paused slightly, then continued, “I had taken on a mission for the Black Wind Eagle’s ‘Lifebound Black Feather’ and happened to arrive there and witnessed it. Due to temporary greed and fear, I burned and buried the two of them, and also picked up their Storage Pouches.”
At this point, Yang Che’s face showed an angry expression:
“But I never expected that this would bring about a deadly disaster. Junior Martial Uncle Liu insisted that I killed Liu Yuan, pushing me into desperate situations repeatedly. Moreover, when I was imprisoned in the Yellow-rank prison, she killed the Disciple guarding me and placed a highly poisonous tracking mark within my body. She took me out of prison and abandoned me in the wilderness, intending to frame me, thereby having a legitimate reason to hunt me down.”
“Nonsense!”
Liu Tong, the Tall Youth from the Liu family, stepped forward, arguing vehemently, “Frost Moon Fairy, he is lying. This person is glib-tongued, twisting right and wrong, deliberately slandering my Senior Sister Hanyan. He is merely a Qi Refining Disciple, while my Senior Sister Hanyan has been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for many years. How could she possibly go to such unnecessary lengths?”
“Yes, Frost Moon Fairy. Who in my Liu family doesn’t know that Hanyan is not in good health and has always regarded her elder brother’s only son, Liu Yuan, as her own child? She is usually kind and benevolent, not only in my Liu family but also in Wulong Valley, she is a Core Disciple with a good reputation. She would absolutely not do such a thing,” Elder Liu Xiao, the sharp-faced old man, also said hurriedly.
Yang Che, however, sneered, then took out the sound image jade slip and handed it to the Frost Moon Fairy with both hands, saying, “Fairy, whether I lied or not, you will know once you see this Jade Slip.”
Yang Che’s action immediately caused Elder Liu Xiao and Liu Tong to feel their hearts sink.
Frost Moon Fairy took the Jade Slip and swept it with her Divine Sense.
“Oh?”
She suddenly stared at Yang Che with a serious expression, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
A Qi Refining Disciple actually killed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with an alien poison Immortal Root?
This was truly a bit absurd.
However, a sound image jade slip cannot be faked.
After her surprise, Frost Moon Fairy guessed that someone must have helped Yang Che to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
After repeatedly scanning the Jade Slip several times, Frost Moon Fairy fell silent.
This was a conversation between Liu Hanyan and Yang Che before her death.
From this conversation, Frost Moon Fairy felt Liu Hanyan’s shock and unwillingness, and even more, she felt the disappointment and bitterness of this young man named Yang Che towards Wulong Valley’s injustice back then.
After a long while, Frost Moon Fairy suddenly looked at the bald old man from the Discipline Hall and said, “This Jade Slip can indeed prove that the Disciples guarding the prison back then were not killed by Yang Che. Hall Master Wu, the arrest warrant for Yang Che can be revoked.”
“Yes, I will go back and handle it immediately.”
Wu Da had already been made somewhat restless by the oppressive atmosphere. Seizing the opportunity, he responded and quickly left.
There were nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples in Wulong Valley, and these people were also the backbone of Wulong Valley.
As one of them, Wu Da’s ability to firmly hold the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Discipline Hall naturally indicated his exceptional qualities.
Earlier, from the Frost Moon Fairy’s surprised expression after reading the Jade Slip, he had vaguely guessed something, and thus chose to immediately extricate himself and no longer be involved in this matter.
Chen Liansheng remained silent.
Elder Liu Xiao, the sharp-faced thin old man, and Liu Tong, the Tall Youth of the Liu family, now had cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
Frost Moon Fairy looked at the two from the Liu family and said again, “It was indeed Liu Hanyan who killed the Disciples guarding the Yellow-rank prison back then.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiao and Liu Tong’s faces both changed dramatically.
The two looked at each other, momentarily terrified and somewhat at a loss.
It was Elder Liu Xiao, being old and shrewd, who immediately requested to examine this Jade Slip, stating that it concerned the reputation of the entire Liu family.
Frost Moon Fairy tossed the sound image jade slip to Elder Liu Xiao.
Elder Liu Xiao swept it with his Divine Sense, revealing an expression of disbelief, then his expression gradually darkened to the extreme.
“Frost Moon Fairy, although Junior Sister Hanyan made a mistake, isn’t Yang Che, who killed Junior Sister Hanyan, equally deserving of punishment?”
Elder Liu Xiao stared at Yang Che, a malicious glint flashing in his eyes.
He also believed that Yang Che must have had help, otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to kill Junior Sister Hanyan.
But even so, this Yang Che was already quite formidable among Qi Refining Disciples. Regardless, he must be killed as soon as possible.
Elder Liu Xiao was clear about Wulong Valley’s Sect rules: even a Disciple who had committed a grave error should be handed over to the Discipline Hall for disposal.
Therefore, he would certainly stick to this point.
Frost Moon Fairy pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Che with some helplessness and said, “Yang Che, it is a fact that you were wronged, but it is also a fact that you killed Liu Hanyan. Since the wrong has been cleared, what about your killing of Liu Hanyan?”
Yang Che’s heart felt a chill.
But he also knew that for a large Cultivation Sect, everything indeed had to be based on Sect rules, otherwise, ‘without rules, nothing can be accomplished’.
From this perspective, Frost Moon Fairy was at least one of the core power figures in Wulong Valley with the right to speak.
Yang Che was naturally very displeased about this.
Ultimately, Liu Yuan had tried to kill him first, and Liu Hanyan had also sought his life. Was he only supposed to sit back and await death?
But despite his displeasure, Yang Che could only choose to endure.
Because he hadn’t yet retrieved everything from Tongyou Cave.
And he had already prepared a countermeasure for this.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the fluctuating emotions in his heart, Yang Che took out an ordinary Jade Slip and handed it to Frost Moon Fairy, saying, “I am now officially reporting the information in this Jade Slip to Wulong Valley. With this, it should be enough to offset my fault in killing Liu Hanyan, right?”
There was a faint hint of sarcasm in Yang Che’s tone.
Frost Moon Fairy initially didn’t think much of it, but after taking the Jade Slip and sweeping it with her Divine Sense, her expression subtly changed.
“If the information in this Jade Slip is true, then the matter of Liu Hanyan will be closed.”
Frost Moon Fairy’s expression was solemn. At the same time, she tossed the Jade Slip to Elder Liu Xiao, the sharp-faced thin old man, and said very seriously, “The intelligence in this Jade Slip is enough to offset Yang Che’s fault in killing Liu Hanyan. Listen well, Liu family, you are absolutely not allowed to trouble Yang Che again in the future, otherwise, I will not forgive you. Now, immediately notify your Liu family patriarch and the Grand Elder to rush to the Hall of Deliberation of this Sect.”
After Elder Liu Xiao scanned the contents of the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense, his face also changed, and he immediately nodded in agreement, then pulled Liu Tong and left in a hurry.
However, before leaving, Liu Tong’s gaze, secretly cast towards Yang Che, remained venomous, sending chills down one’s spine.
Frost Moon Fairy said to Chen Liansheng, “Valley Master Chen, immediately ring the bell for deliberation.”
Chen Liansheng bowed in agreement, taking the opportunity to excuse himself.
At this moment, Frost Moon Fairy said to Yang Che, “Yang Che, the information in this Jade Slip is too important; I must deal with it quickly. As for whether to stay or leave, you should consider it carefully yourself.”
After Frost Moon Fairy finished speaking, she conjured her silver gourd and swiftly flew away from Wangyue Peak.
Yang Che’s expression relaxed, and his heart suddenly grew excited.
Without any hesitation, he immediately took out his Sophora Leaf Magical Artifact and flew like lightning towards Tongyou Cave in Dragon Breath Mountain.
