"what!"

Ye Tianchen's words immediately drew roars of shock and anger from the fifteen cabinet elders.

"This is impossible! How could my Holy Fire Sect's God-Imprisoning Killing Formation be broken by someone at the fifth level of the Void Realm?"

"Ridiculous! This is the most ridiculous absurd thing in the world!"

"Fu Haoran! Tell us honestly, what's going on? Why can't the God-Imprisoning Killing Formation trap a mere Fifth-Level Chongxu Realm cultivator?"

"There must be something hidden here. You must confess everything to us honestly, or else, your death will be imminent!"

Fu Haoran was shocked and kowtowed immediately, saying anxiously, "Elders, the strength of that sword cultivator Lin Han should not be underestimated! I also don't understand why the Prison God Killing Formation can't trap him!"

"I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problems when we use the God-Imprisoning Killing Formation. You may not believe my words, but the elders who participated in activating the God-Imprisoning Killing Formation can testify for me! I, Fu Haoran, can also swear to the Heavenly Dao that if there is any problem with the God-Imprisoning Killing Formation, I will not die a good death!"

There was silence for a while.

An old voice said grimly, "We have already asked the elders involved in this operation, and the God Prison Killing Formation... is indeed flawless. We also believe that our Holy Fire Sect would never produce such a traitor. So, I have a question for you, Ye Tianchen."

"Did you two, master and disciple, hide something from us, or did you do something in secret, which led to Fu Haoran and the others' failures?"

Ye Tianchen never expected that these old ghosts would suddenly ask this.

When he heard this, he was so scared that his face turned green, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.

Wang Yuyan was completely frightened.

She and Ye Tianchen have always been outsiders in the Holy Fire Sect. If these old ghosts vent their anger on them, there will be no way for her and Ye Tianchen to survive!

Ye Tianchen shouted anxiously, "How is it possible! I have no reason to do this! Besides, when Elder Hou and others activated the Prison God Killing Formation, I had already left with all the elders. I think you should ask Elder Fu about what happened in between! I don't know anything about what happened afterwards!"

"I……"

Fu Haoran was speechless for a moment.

Realizing that Nie Zhonghai was also looking at him with flickering eyes, Ye Tianchen found it difficult to breathe.

He quickly added, "Actually, I feel like there's one thing that doesn't make sense..."

Ye Tianchen then turned to look at Fu Haoran and asked, "Elder Fu, after we left, you activated the God Prison Killing Formation but couldn't stop Lin Han. In my opinion, this is understandable. After all, I don't know how powerful the God Prison Killing Formation is."

"But after you activated the Prison God Killing Formation, you were unable to trap Lin Han. Why didn't you stop him, catch up with him in time, and notify me with a communication talisman?"

"If it weren't for this, Elder Quan wouldn't have died!"

"Lin Han...after he caught up with us, he killed all the elders! I beg the elders of the cabinet to understand this!"

Fu Haoran's face turned pale.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong. Why did he feel that Ye Tianchen was intentionally shifting all the responsibility onto him?

Fu Haoran shouted, "Elders of the Cabinet, this is unfair! Back then, Lin Han broke the Prison God Killing Formation with one sword strike. As the core of the formation, I fainted immediately. How could I have the chance to use the communication talisman?"

"Moreover, the thirty Holy Fire Sect elders, including myself, have all suffered backlash from the God-Imprisoning Killing Formation and are completely unable to fight!"

"We can only return to the Holy Fire Sect first!"

……

There was silence again.

A voice rang out in everyone's mind again, "Ye Tianchen, you just said that the sword cultivator's realm has just entered the fifth level of Chongxu Realm?"

"That's right!"

"A mere fifth level Chongxu Realm warrior severely injured Quan Xiangyu."

Fu Haoran nodded grimly and replied, "...Yes!"

"Alright, Fu Haoran, you can leave first. However, Ye Tianchen, you two, master and disciple, stay."

A look of fear flashed across Ye Tianchen and Wang Yuyan's faces.

Fu Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed, and quickly left the hall.

"Okay, Ye Tianchen, what else do you have to say next?"

Ye Tianchen, who knew that something bad was going to happen, didn't care about anything else at this time. There was only one thing on his mind at this moment.

How can I survive this disaster?

He opened his mouth and said, "Fellow elders of the cabinet, please be discerning. Even if my master and I were given a hundred courages, we would not dare to have any disloyalty to the Holy Fire Sect!"

"Let's take a step back and say, even if we did, how could we have the courage to come back?"

"Forgive me for saying something so outrageous..."

Ye Tianchen swallowed nervously and whispered, "Could it be that Elder Fu and Elder Quan had a grudge before, which led to all the things that happened later..."

He just thought that since Fu Haoran had left, no one would confront him, so he said this casually.

Besides, if no scapegoat could be found for Xiang Yu's death, there was no doubt that the responsibility would fall on him.

A cabinet elder said in a deep voice, "Are you just going to put the responsibility on Fu Haoran?"

Ask yourself, who among those present is not a smart person?

How could they not smell something unusual?

"God is my witness, I have not slandered anyone, I am just telling the truth!"

Ye Tianchen felt like he was about to pee, and said with a sullen face, "The entire plan was drawn up by Elder Fu and Elder Quan. We, the master and the disciple, were completely unaware of the direction of this plan! You can ask others about this later."

"Before Elder Quan was injured, I didn't even have the chance to talk to him. It was only after he was injured that I spoke to him. Besides, Elder Quan and I have no grudges against each other, and there is no reason for me to harm him."

He stopped abruptly, and suddenly remembered something, "Could it be that Elder Fu also wants to join the cabinet? So he gave Elder Quan to..."

After saying that, Ye Tianchen seemed to realize something and quickly raised his hand to slap his mouth.

"My dear elders, I have said too much. Please forgive my mistakes!"

next moment.

Ye Tianchen felt the atmosphere of the hall and suddenly fell silent.

He didn't know the details of the internal affairs of a second-rate sect, but he couldn't help but pay attention to the cabinet of the Holy Fire Sect.

Just now he thought that as the Grand Elder of the Holy Fire Sect, Fu Haoran would probably enter the cabinet sooner or later.

So he just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, he guessed right.

And the other side.

The fifteen cabinet elders all thought of the same question.

Fu Haoran's cultivation has reached this level, and he holds an important position in the sect. They have all seen what he has done for the sect over the years.

indeed.

They have already included Fu Haoran in the cabinet list.

Fu Haoran also knew this news.

only……

Quan Xiangyu has always been against it, arguing that it would be better to observe for a few decades before deciding whether to recruit Fu Haoran into the cabinet.

It is for this reason that they did not train him, but waited and watched his character to see whether Fu Haoran could shoulder such an important task.

Could it be that after Fu Haoran learned this news, he had murderous intentions towards Quan Xiangyu...

This is not impossible, but very likely. There are so many people who are blinded by power!
