Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

This was the first time Guan Shanyu had to work so hard to suppress the smile on his face.

At this moment, the magic mirror, which was picked up by someone unknown and which Yan Ruchen didn't know whether he had thrown away accidentally, was diligently playing all the records they had collected in the past few days in the Zhaixing Tower.

Every time a piece of evidence was presented, the faces of the elders on the bell tower became darker. By the end of the video, the elders on the bell tower had as pale as the bottom of a pot, and they even forgot to tell the disciples to stop it.

The people in the square were watching with great interest. Every time they reached a crucial point, they would collectively gasp, with discussions and sighs rising one after another.

Guan Shanyu remained standing, unmoved. Suyi embraced Li Xiuqi and Qingfan, wailing loudly. Li Suyin also rushed over from a distance, her skirt lifted, stepping on the bottom of the flowerpot, crying. Guan Shanyu's eyes were always on Yan Ruchen.

Yan Ruchen was still half-crouching beside Li Xiuqi, staring towards the Zhaixing Tower with a look of pain and shock. But despite his pain, Yan Ruchen didn't seem to want to stand up and stop him. Guan Shanyu looked at the back of his head, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Yan Ruchen, ah Yan Ruchen, he was indeed a character created by him. How could he really be such a fool?

It turns out that this is the real "killing with a borrowed knife".

Guan Shanyu lowered his eyes and stared at him, a smile growing in his eyes. Perhaps because of this burning gaze, Yan Ruchen, who had been staring at Zhaixing Tower, suddenly turned back and looked at Guan Shanyu. Across the noisy crowd, their eyes met in a daze.

Guan Shanyu's eyes moved slightly as he looked at him. The next second, the two of them smiled at each other tacitly.

"You are so despicable! You did such immoral things and yet you want to put the blame on me!"

The sudden shout interrupted the eye contact between Guan Shanyu and Yan Ruchen.

Guan Shanyu looked up at the bell tower and saw Wang Shuyan emotionally grabbing Yuan Chongxiao's neck and roaring, "I knew you three families have disliked me for a long time. You did such a filthy thing and you actually blamed me for it. You have to pay for the lives of my twelve disciples of Yun Jichan!"

Yu Jiushi, who had been standing aside for a long time, was already in shock. Seeing his master leap forward and push down the head of Zixiao Sect, he also rushed forward angrily and kicked over the Zixiao disciple behind Yuan Chongxiao. He beat and scolded Yu Kunliang, who was standing there stunned: "Fuck you, I knew you were a traitor. You actually teamed up with other sects to frame us! You ungrateful traitor!"

Yu Kunliang came back to his senses, staring at Yu Jiushi with red eyes, and shouted: "I didn't fucking do that!" After that, he ran forward a few steps and wrestled with the disciples of Zixiao Lingjing.

Seeing this, several elders of Tianxuan wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but when they thought about how Yuan Chongxiao dared to secretly cultivate soul-devouring grass in the sect and caused the disappearance of the disciples in Wangshuiling, they did not step forward.

Qing Yuanzi noticed that there were still many angry onlookers in the square. He warned Yue Lingwu and others beside him: "Quickly, pull them apart. If this continues, it will be difficult to end."

But as he spoke, he took a few steps forward and found that no one followed him. He looked back at Yue Lingwu and others in confusion: "What's wrong? Come and help?"

Jin Yunche spoke first, looking at Qing Yuanzi with complicated eyes: "Yuanzi, was it you who did what happened to Lao Si?"

Qing Yuanzi was stunned and hurriedly explained: "Of course it's not me!"

Yue Lingwu said angrily: "Then explain to me what is in this spirit mirror!"

By this time, the spiritual realm on the Star Picking Platform had been replayed for the third time, every detail meticulously captured by everyone. Qing Yuanzi looked back at the enraged crowd in the square and the collapsed Li Xiuqi, raising his voice to explain, "I did give this item to Lao Si, but he got it first and stored it in the forbidden room, claiming it was demon scrap metal and asking me to carry it along. Didn't I explain this to you when the incident happened? I admit I helped deliver it, but I didn't kill him!"

Yue Lingwu raised his voice and demanded, "That's because Guan Shanyu was the more suspicious before, and you were with us at Wuzijian on a rainy night, so you didn't have time to commit the crime, so we didn't suspect you! Now the evidence is irrefutable, how can we believe it!"

Qing Yuanzi was also a little agitated: "Why should I kill him? According to this logic, Yun Che didn't go to Wuzi Peak during his retreat that day, so isn't he also a suspect?"

Seeing Qing Yuanzi actually trying to shift the blame onto him, Jin Yunche angrily slammed the table and cursed, "Are you crazy? What's my level of martial arts? What's Lao Si's level? Should I kill him? It's good enough if he doesn't kill me! Are you crazy? Start biting me!"

"That's enough!" Qiushui Sword Lady interrupted. "How can you be so rude with so many people watching? Have you forgotten your place?"

Jin Yunche glared at Qiushui Sword Lady and questioned her desperately, "What identity are you talking about? I haven't even mentioned you yet. You've watched Hongyin grow up, and you actually dared to lay your hands on her? I haven't even asked you what kind of heart you have!"

Upon hearing this, Qiushui Jianji was furious. She slammed the table and stood up, breaking it into pieces in an instant. Her eyes turned red and she cursed, "I harmed her? I've taken care of Hongyin for longer than Si Xuanqing, that hands-off boss! She's almost like a daughter to me, why would I harm her? What good would I gain from doing this?"

"Isn't the benefit that if you wipe out our family, you can fight for the leadership of the immortal sect?"

Before Qiu Shui Sword Lady finished her words and Jin Yunche had no time to refute, a hoarse and mocking female voice came from a distance.

Qiu Shui and the others fell silent, looking toward the source of the voice in confusion. Yuan Chongxiao finally, with a cold expression, kicked Wang Shuyan away, freeing himself from his entanglement. He stood up and followed the crowd's gaze.

Three women appeared on the Zhaixing Tower at some point. The leader was Si Hongyin, who looked pale and a little haggard. The two women in blue shirts beside her should be disciples of Yulintai, but the elders on the bell tower could not recognize them.

Guan Shanyu came out from a distance, looking at Jin Yu and Gu Yu. But he only glanced at them briefly before returning his gaze to Yan Ruchen.

He didn't know what big move Yan Ruchen was going to make next.

Si Hongyin glanced at the crowd in the square, then fixed her gaze on the elders on the bell tower. Seeing Qiushui Sword Master's shocked expression at her appearance, she sneered, "Master, you didn't expect me to come, did you?"

Qiushui Sword Princess' eyes flickered as she called out softly, "Hongyin?"

Si Hongyin ignored them. She stood atop the Zhaixing Tower, uninterested in reminiscing with her master and the elders. After a cold greeting, she turned to the crowd in the square and announced loudly, "Everyone! I am Si Hongyin, the daughter of Si Xuanqing. I've gathered you today to ask for your help in my daughter and my father's defense. Help me unmask these hypocritical individuals!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Qiushui Jianji stood on the bell tower and shouted to Si Hongyin, "Hongyin! This is not the case. Don't be deceived. I can explain it to you..."

"Shut up!" Si Hongyin interrupted angrily, saying painfully, "You said it yourself, you took care of me and raised me since I was a child, treating me like a half daughter, and I also treated you like a half mother, but what happened in the end? How did you treat me and our family? Don't you want to know your motive? Then I'll tell you!"

"The position of leader of the Immortal Sect is vacant, and the four major sects are eyeing it covetously, with only one seat to fight for. These elders, seemingly virtuous and respected, are actually blinded by greed and power. They murdered my father and framed me for having an affair. They are also fighting among themselves, blaming each other and creating all kinds of trouble, just hoping to sit on the throne of the Immortal Sect Leader!"

After that, the crowd exclaimed again. The scene in the spiritual realm was vivid in their minds. The arrested anti-Xianmen people were also present. This current situation seemed to be the Xianmen's own fault.

But because the information impact was too great, the masses didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yuan Chongxiao had been silent the entire time, but now he finally spoke: "Hongyin! We have never done these things, don't be fooled!"

"Shut up!" Si Hongyin's eyes were red as she shouted angrily. She then took out a secret book from her bosom. The distance was too far for everyone to make out, but she immediately explained, "This book is a secret book of the demon clan found in the Zixiao Spirit Realm. It records in detail the use of the Soul-Eating Grass. Uncle Yuan, the immortal sect strictly prohibits the cultivation of demon clan immortal grass. This rule was set by you. But why did you secretly cultivate the Soul-Eating Grass, make the hallucinogenic pills for your disciples to take, and then voluntarily go to Wangshuiling to absorb your spiritual power? How do you explain it? Even if you can justify yourself, can you explain them? Are you so sure they didn't do it?"

Yuan Chongxiao was stunned.

Granted, he could find many excuses for growing the Soul Devouring Grass. After all, although he had discovered the Soul Devouring Grass and the secret manual in Zixiao, he hadn't witnessed the pill-making process or the process of deceiving his disciples. He could claim it was out of research or curiosity; there was always a reason.

But was Si Xuanqing's murder related to Qing Yuanzi... Was the so-called affair between Si Hongyin and his apprentice really planned by Qiu Shui Jian Ji in order to expand her power in Tianxuan Dao Sect?

Of course, he couldn't guarantee it because he didn't know.

Yuan Chongxiao looked back and saw that the elders who had gathered had dispersed and kept a certain distance.

He shook his head, his heart sinking. He knew that once suspicion arose, the crime was already established.

They no longer trust each other.

So, he looked into Si Hongyin's scarlet eyes filled with hatred and could only say slowly: "Really, that's not the case."

But before the sound could reach the entire square, Jin Yu, who was standing beside Si Hongyin, had already shouted angrily at the people on the bell tower, "This evidence was personally unearthed by your sect's senior disciple. What excuses do you have? Ruchen went through so much trouble to find this evidence. I didn't want to kill you for the sake of the Immortal Sect, but you are so shameless! You assaulted me in public and still try to make excuses. How despicable!"

The eldest disciple? Is that Song Ziye?

Guan Shanyu looked around but didn't find anyone.

I guess it’s because he didn’t come or didn’t want to come.

Guan Shanyu curled his lips and turned his head to see Yan Ruchen standing up. Jin Yu's words had been crystal clear; in just a few words, they had pointed out who had uncovered the truth and who was so loyal and steadfast that they refused to become an enemy of the Immortal Sect.

But because the Immortal Sect was unreasonable, things turned out like this.

Now that things have come to this, it is definitely not going to be easy to resolve because there are so many onlookers.

Qing Yuanzi knew this very well and understood that he needed to find a way to calm the public anger and explain the whole story. However, before he could come up with a solution, he suddenly heard a crisp sound on his forehead, followed by a fishy liquid flowing down.

It's a rotten egg.

"You bastards! You did this in secret and even accepted our offerings! I was saying that the more I use this amulet, the more unlucky I get. I wonder if you've sucked my luck away and used it for yourselves!"

"Do you know how our family has been through the past year since my brother disappeared? My parents both passed away from depression. Why would you bastards accept our incense and worship?"

"You are killing each other in your sect and harming your disciples. Why do you, the leaders, still stand so high up? Get down from here!"
