Chapter 91: Chapter 89: Expel From the Sky Pole Sect! Chapter 91: Chapter 89: Expel From the Sky Pole Sect! Sword Master Tian Yan finally ca back to his senses and said angrily, “No way! Just based on Qinghe’s word, you want to soul search Shengsheng’s soul. What kind of reasoning is that? Wuya, this matter is of great importance, soul searching should not be done unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, Shengsheng is on the verge of a breakthrough. If she succeeds, today would be the joyous day she becos a Golden Core cultivator. How can we soul search her on such a joyous day?”
Dongfang Wuya listened to Sword Master Tian Yan’s rant, and when he finished, he spoke slowly, “This won’t do, that won’t do, so what do you suggest?”
Sword Master Tian Yan’s face darkened as he tried to reason with Shen Qinghe and appeal to her emotions, “Qinghe, I know you are jealous of Shengsheng. Shengsheng has the talent for cultivation, and Changsheng abandoned you because of Shengsheng, but you can’t let jealousy turn into hatred and make baseless accusations against Shengsheng…”
“Are you absolutely sure it’s Qinghe who’s slandering Nan Sheng? Do you have any evidence?” Dongfang Wuya found Sword Master Tian Yan particularly shaless.
Sword Master Tian Yan said solemnly, “No evidence is needed, it’s a fact!”
Dongfang Wuya flicked his sleeve and nodded in understanding, “According to your logic, right and wrong are decided solely by you. Why don’t we have Zuo An give up his position as sect leader and you can take over as Sky Pole Sect’s leader.”
Sword Master Tian Yan looked at Sect Master Zuo, eting his inscrutable gaze, and hastily explained, “Wuya, that joke’s going too far.”
Dongfang Wuya found a comfortable position to sit, lazily watching Sword Master Tian Yan, “I was just wondering, what could Nan Sheng possibly have that our Qinghe would be jealous of? Her flirtatious nature or her vicious hypocrisy? Soone despicable like Nan Sheng isn’t worth our Qinghe’s jealousy!”
Sword Master Tian Yan beca angry from embarrassnt, “Who are you calling vicious and hypocritical?!”
Dongfang Wuya glanced over with a detached look, and imdiately, Sword Master Tian Yan felt an overwhelming pressure bear down on him. Whereas before he might have barely managed to hold his ground, at this mont his legs went weak, and he found himself kneeling on the ground.
He tried to struggle to his feet, but the heavy pressure made his head bow uncontrollably, and it was tilting in Shen Qinghe’s direction. Just as he was about to unwillingly kowtow to Shen Qinghe, Sect Master Zuo finally spoke up, “Wuya, that’s enough.”
Dongfang Wuya snorted, “Boring.”
But in the end, he let Sword Master Tian Yan off and didn’t take things too far.
The heavy pressure on Sword Master Tian Yan vanished in an instant, and he was covered in cold sweat. He was only a mont away from prostrating himself before Shen Qinghe in public. Had he actually knelt down, he would have beco the laughingstock of the entire sect.
“I rember several of you implying earlier that those with strength have the right to speak. Indeed, had I been as cold-hearted as you all, letting so who hold themselves in high esteem be humiliated in public wouldn’t seem like a big deal,” Dongfang Wuya said, not hiding his disdain for Sword Master Tian Yan.
Sword Master Tian Yan’s face turned beet red.
But Nan Sheng was his most accomplished disciple, and he absolutely couldn’t let anyone soul search her, or it would be a slap in his face.
He knew Dongfang Wuya was unreasonable, so he turned to Sect Master Zuo and said, “Sect Master, soul searching is too sinister. If Shengsheng is breaking through, it’s when she’s at her weakest. Soul searching her now could damage her foundation. I fear this could be Qinghe’s slander against Shengsheng. If Shengsheng is innocent and still gets her soul searched for nothing, who will restore justice for Shengsheng? I hope the sect master will consider this carefully!”
Sect Master Zuo had the sa concerns.
After all, Nan Sheng was currently the face of Sky Pole Sect. He cherished talent and was reluctant to use the Soul Searching Technique on Nan Sheng.
Only, Qinghe’s allegations were so convincing, and he also knew Changsheng’s temperant—why would he falsely accuse Nan Sheng?
Sect Master Zuo found himself in a difficult position.
At this mont, Shen Qinghe stepped forward and said crisply, “If the soul search proves Nan Sheng’s innocence, the sect master is welco to expel from the Sky Pole Sect!”
Yan Changsheng also stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shen Qinghe, “I second that. If Nan Sheng did not try to harm Qinghe, I am willing to leave the sect alongside Qinghe!”
Sect Master Zuo’s expression was grave, and several elders also knew the situation had beco serious.
If even Yan Changsheng was willing to be expelled from the sect for this, it ant that Nan Sheng really might have poisoned Qinghe.
Sword Master Tian Yan’s face was somber, and with such a force arrayed against him, he suddenly lost his confidence. But how could Shengsheng, kind and innocent, possibly bring herself to poison a good-for-nothing like Shen Qinghe?
Impossible!
“Tian Yan, what do you say?” Sect Master Zuo still respected Sword Master Tian Yan’s opinion.
At this mont, Sword Master Tian Yan also felt uncertain; he was still hesitating. Dongfang Wuya added fuel to the flas from the sidelines, “Perhaps Tian Yan is worried that after the Soul Search, it will be proved that Nan Sheng is venomous and scheming, fearing that he, because of Nan Sheng, will lose all his face; thus he dares not carry out the Soul Searching Technique on her, right?”
Provoked by Dongfang Wuya, Sword Master Tian Yan instantly snapped in anger, “Who says I dare not?! I believe in Shengsheng, she would never harm Qinghe! Once Shengsheng’s innocence is proven, Qinghe must be expelled from the Sky Pole Sect forever, never to return!”
Shen Qinghe had no objections, and naturally, Dongfang Wuya had none either.
About two shichen later, Nan Sheng indeed had a breakthrough, successfully forming her Core, advancing to the Golden Core Stage cultivator.
For a ti, the entire sect was buoyed by jubilation.
Just at this mont, the accusation of Nan Sheng injuring a fellow disciple also spread throughout the sect.
Nan Sheng’s admirers were convinced that Shen Qinghe was punching above his weight, doing this to attract everyone’s attention; others felt that Qinghe was not that kind of person, and it must be that Nan Sheng did sothing to make Qinghe report to the Sect Leader, especially since Yan Changsheng was a witness, identifying Nan Sheng as the murderer.
Everyone had witnessed the sweet tis between Yan Changsheng and Nan Sheng, how much Changsheng loved Shengsheng was clear for all to see. It was only later that Nan Sheng turned to follow Xiao Chen, and the loving couple beca estranged.
Yan Changsheng’s defection also made everyone feel that this was his revenge against Nan Sheng.
When Nan Sheng was summoned to the Council Hall, the area outside was already bursting at the seams; everyone wanted to know what the outco would be.
Quite a few of Nan Sheng’s adoring fans, seeing her arrival, cheered her on, stating their belief in her.
But Nan Sheng herself lacked confidence, because she had indeed acted against Shen Qinghe. Regrettably, she hadn’t managed to kill Shen Qinghe, or else she wouldn’t have left today’s troubles.
Before long, Xiao Chen also arrived.
Everyone thought Xiao Chen had co to support Nan Sheng; after all, he was her fiancé. Even Nan Sheng herself thought so.
“Brother Xiao, I am wronged…” Nan Sheng gazed at Xiao Chen with hope, wishing for him to speak on her behalf.
Xiao Chen gave a gentle smile, but his eyes did not reflect the warmth, “If you are wronged, the Sect Leader and the elders will surely clear your na.”
Seeing that Nan Sheng had finally arrived, Dongfang Wuya opened his lips indifferently, “Now that everyone is present, let’s make it quick. Tian Yan, Nan Sheng is your disciple. You make the move.”
Nan Sheng did not understand, “What are you going to do?!”
“Soul Search,” Dongfang Wuya looked at Nan Sheng with a smile full of malice.
