The sudden turn of events caused an uproar on the scene.
The lecturer was about to make a move on Jing Yue when soone bellowed, Whats going on here?
Everyone followed the direction of that voice, and not too far away, Warden Wang of the Noble faction from the Law Enforcent Hall had arrived, followed by another two enforcers behind him.
At the sight of Warden Wang, everyone seed to have found a lifeline and started to condemn Jing Shan for his atrocities.
Warden Wangs face was stony as he stared at Jing Yue and said, Do you admit to your guilt?
Jing Yue, Mu-shixiong and I sparred with each other in an upright manner. Whats wrong with that? Its just that Mu-shixiongs spiritual power went out of control suddenly. If I didnt stun him at that ti, hed be dead from exhaustion.
He glanced at the lecturer. There is a rule in the sect, when the disciples are sparring, they must be supervised by soone with a higher cultivation level to prevent accidents. This incident happened clearly because of his negligence. Why didnt the Law Enforcent Hall pursue the investigation but ask for my guilt instead?
The lecturer said angrily, Youre spouting nonsense! Twisting the facts around!
Jing Yue, Im not talking nonsense. Theres sothing obviously wrong with Mu-shixiong just now. I dont believe no one doubts it. Besides, there are remnants of the drug in his body, and all the ridians in his body were severed and Dantian destroyed. A Palm Lightning strike doesnt have this power.
The lecturer startled before exclaiming in shock, You said his Dantian is that true?
The Dantian was the part of the body that stored spiritual energy. If the Dantian was destroyed, would the cultivator not be crippled?
Jing Yue was about to reply when Warden Wang said, Since Mu Feng is seriously injured, Ill order soone to take him back to the Law Enforcent Hall and ask a Zhenren to treat him.
An enforcer stepped out from behind him but was stopped by Jing Yue. Warden Wang, Mu-shixiong cant be moved at the mont. Why not ask the Zhenren to co here for the treatnt instead? If you must take Mu-shixiong, why dont we ask Warden Chen from the Primary faction to do it then?
Insolence!
Jing Yue, Im not trying to be insolent, but this matter is very suspicious. What is the dicine he consud? And where did he get it from? Im worried that soone is trying to hurt Mu-shixiong.
Warden Wangs expression changed instantly. Presumptuous! What dicine are you talking about? Its just an excuse youve made up to cover for your wrongdoings!
How would he dare to invite a Zhenren or Warden Chen to co here? This entire matter was originally planned by the Noble faction.
Due to their influence, the Noble faction had successfully planted several spies within the other two factions and accidentally learned that Mu Feng was seriously affected after his defeat to Jing Shan and hindered the progress of his cultivation. To make a breakthrough, Mu Feng intended to challenge Jing Shan again, and forcibly advance his level during the match to level-4 Qi Refining and beat the opponent by doing so. Because of this, Mu Feng had prepared a pill to assist him in advancing his level and had consud it right before the match to ensure the plan went smoothly.
The spy made a swap. The pill that Mu Feng took today had been mixed with so poison by the Noble faction. This poison could induce confusion and make the spiritual energy run rampant, increase the spiritual power exponentially, and finally, the person would die of exhaustion.
According to the plan, after Mu Feng killed Jing Shan, soone from the Noble faction would make a scene and no one would inspect Mu Fengs body. Once Mu Feng dropped dead, the drug that remained in his body would disappear. Even if soone discovered the abnormality later, they would think it was the repercussions caused by his forced breakthrough.
At that ti, the Noble faction would fra the Primary faction for killing one of their own, to restore the loss suffered from the Gu family for seizing the spirit mine, and at the sa ti, getting rid of Jing Shan to relieve their hatred towards him. This plan was to kill two birds with one stone.
However, the turn of events had deviated greatly from their initial plan, so he could only cover the truth by taking Mu Feng away from the scene as quickly as possible.
So, he sternly asked, Jing Shan? Are you trying to prevent the treatnt? What are your intentions?
He directed the enforcer behind him to grab Mu Feng but was stopped by the lecturer who belonged to the Primary faction.
The lecturer ca to a realization at this ti. Was Warden Wang being a little too forceful? He showed up as soon as Mu Feng t with the accident. What a coincidence? Besides, it was too obvious that he was very eager to take Mu Feng away. Could that be due to a guilty conscience?
He said, Jing-shidi also has so truth in what he said. In that case, we should wait for Warden Chen to preside over this matter.
Warden Wang exclaid angrily, What do you an? Are you suspecting ?
The lecturer glared at him ominously, his eyes seeming to say, Is it that strange for to doubt you? The relationship between our factions is very poor after all.
Warden Wang was so angry that his breath stuck in his chest and almost spat a mouthful of blood.
But what could he do? He was desperate too! He could not grab him in broad daylight, right? He could not kill Mu Feng in front of everyone, could he? Warden Wang cracked his brains, attempting both forceful and cajoling thods, anything he could think of, but the disciples from the Primary faction remained unmoved, and even beca more resolute.
It was a stalemate for a long ti before soone finally found Warden Chen.
In the end, Mu Feng was taken away by Warden Chen. Warden Wang and the two enforcers went pale with fright. They knew there was no way to turn things around anymore, and what they could do now was to quickly wipe their asses and clean up the aftermath.
The Noble faction had gone out for wool but ca back shorn. He had nowhere to vent his frustration, so how could he let go of Jing Shan, who had ruined their plans? As such, Warden Wang said furiously, Before this matter is thoroughly investigated, you are still a suspect! Bring him away!
The moonlight shone elegantly and the night was cool like water.
In the underground prison of Frostcloud Sect, a dark silhouette sneaked in quietly and ca to the prison cell holding Jing Yue.
You are here.
That person smiled bitterly and said, You already found out, right?
Jing Yue did not say anything, rely stared fixedly at Yu Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao hung his head low despondently and slowly told him the truth.
As it turned out, he had another older brother, and the two of them were illegitimate children that were abandoned by the Yu family of the Noble faction. When they were young, they depended on themselves to learn the ropes of cultivation, and the two brothers had good talents. A few years ago, the Yu family retrieved them and made arrangents for them to join Frostcloud Sect when the school opened its doors, planting them into the Civilian faction of the inner gates as spies.
His brother was the spy who swapped Mu Fengs pill.
Jing Yue, You knew about the plans of the Noble faction right from the start.
I only know a little.
Jing Yue, Whats the situation out there now?
Yu Xiaobao said dejectedly, Mu-shixiongs cultivation base is defunct and he wont be able to practice again. The Primary faction has decided to give up on him in exchange for greater benefits.
Jing Yue realized it imdiately. For example, concealing the fact that the Noble faction had tried to murder him and let be the scapegoat to exchange benefits with the Noble faction.
Yu Xiaobao did not deny it but anxiously said, Why dont I help you escape?
Jing Yue, Where should I go? Even though the world is big, if Frostcloud Sect wants to find soone, you think that person can escape?
Yu Xiaobao also knew it was an impossible feat. He kowtowed to Jing Yue. Ive let you down. I
His unfinished words finally turned into a sigh.
The next day, people from the Law Enforcent Hall arrived.
Warden Chen, Warden Wang and several disciples publicly announced Jing Shans many cris, including disrespecting the teachers, harming fellow disciples and so on. In short, he was accused of everything that they could think of, almost convincing Jing Yue that he was not worthy of living in this world.
Warden Wang, Jing Shan has committed nurous cris and cannot be forgiven. According to the laws of the sect, he will be eradicated of his cultivation base and expelled from Frostcloud Sect!
Jing Yue smiled and said, Arent you worried that Wu Chen-zhenren will think of soday?
Warden Wang chuckled as he glanced at Warden Chen before saying triumphantly, You have committed such wicked deeds that even the Primary faction has testified against you. Even if Wu Chen-zhenren thinks about you in the future, he will only regret that he has made a grave mistake and wish he could deal with you personally.
Jing Yue, I see.
He stood up and the spiritual energy suppressing handcuffs on his wrists clanked loudly. Jing Yue clasped his hands in the direction of Whitefog Mountain and bowed. Your allegations are not complete yet. Actually, Ive also deceived the teachers and cheated on my fellow disciples. Even the identity Ive assud to enter the inner gates is false.
Everyone was dumbfounded and wondered if this person had gone mad?
In the next mont, they saw cracks appearing on Jing Shans face and his skin began to peel off piece by piece, revealing a delicate and tender face underneath.
In this case, I wonder what my cri will be?
Authors Notes: Mini-theater
Yu Xiaobao: You knew it a long ti ago, didn't you?
Jing Yue: Yes, since I have a pet who loves to listen by the walls, everywhere in Frostcloud Sect is full of my eyes and ears. (Ji-jis proud face)
