Mythical Cultivation

When Wu Ming heard Liu Qingquan mention Xiao Moyang, he knew that his worst fear had come true. Xiao Moyang was the person who knew the whole matter best, and if he insisted that he had killed Tang Zhaojun, then he would have no way to defend himself.

A man came in from outside the hall. It was Xiao Moyang, who had troubled Wu Ming and his group many times. Seeing Xiao Moyang come in, Elder Qi said to him, "You are Xiao Moyang. I heard that you saw Wu Ming kill Tang Zhaojun with your own eyes. Tell me how Wu Ming killed Tang Zhaojun."

"Just do as Elder Qi said and tell him everything you saw." Liu Qingquan also echoed Elder Qi's tone.

"Elder, please understand! I am Xiao Moyang. That day, Tang Zhaojun and I left the sect to carry out a mission. After arriving at Qingyun Market, we split up to purchase some commonly used elixirs and precious treasures. We agreed to meet again later, but after I bought everything, I waited for a long time and still didn't see him. At that moment, an ominous premonition surged in my heart.

So, I decided to leave the market town to look for him. Finally, dozens of miles outside the market town, I witnessed the horrific scene—Wu Ming had brutally murdered Tang Zhaojun... It was truly abhorrent! I only regretted that I arrived too late and was unable to prevent this tragedy in time. Otherwise, I would never have let this brutal murderer escape!

Xiao Moyang gritted his teeth and was filled with resentment. At the same time, he vividly described the thrilling battle scene to everyone.

"Since you saw Wu Ming kill Tang Zhaojun, why didn't you report it to the sect afterwards?"

Although Xiao Moyang described it vividly, Elder Qi also found a flaw in it and asked immediately.

"Elder, please listen as I slowly recount the entire incident. When I returned to the sect, I did intend to report this to you in detail, but then I heard that Wu Ming had the support of inner disciples and a very powerful background. Faced with this situation, how could I dare to disclose this matter so easily?"

This was actually a strategy Liu Qingquan and Xiao Moyang had discussed beforehand. They decided to betray Wang Zongyuan. Even if they couldn't deal him a substantial blow, they would still make him suffer in an embarrassing situation as revenge for what he had done before.

"Oh? He actually has a backer? Who is he? I'd like to see who dares to be so arrogant and domineering in our Qingyun Sect and cover the sky with one hand!"

Elder Qi's face immediately lit up with anger when he heard Xiao Moyang's words, and he spoke indignantly. As an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, he always upheld the principles of fairness and integrity, and naturally hated those who dared to disregard the sect's rules.

"It is said that he is the inner disciple, Senior Brother Wang Zongyuan."

"Who? Wang Zongyuan? I heard that Wang Zongyuan has a good reputation in the sect, but I didn't expect him to have this side."

After hearing Xiao Moyang's words, Elder Qi didn't say anything else, because this was nothing to the inner disciples, but at least Wang Zongyuan's impression of him had worsened. He turned to Wu Mingdao:

"Wu Ming, do you disagree with what Xiao Moyang said?"

"Your Excellency, Xiao Moyang is confusing right and wrong. It was clearly him and Tang Zhaojun who ambushed me and wanted to kill me. I fought back, but how did it become that I killed him..." Wu Ming wanted to tell everyone the truth, but Liu Qingquan interrupted him.

"Elder Qi, Wu Ming has admitted it himself. He was indeed the one who killed his fellow disciple Tang Zhaojun. What do you think should be done to punish him?"

"Since the matter is true, then deal with it according to the sect rules..."

"Elder Qi, please listen to my explanation..."

"Wait a minute, Elder Qi, I have something to say."

A voice from outside the hall stopped Elder Qi from speaking, and then everyone saw a young man in white standing outside the hall. It was Wang Zongyuan.

"Oh? What do you want to say? Go ahead and tell me first."

Seeing that it was Wang Zongyuan, although Elder Qi was a little displeased with him, he did not stop him from speaking.

"Elder Qi, there is another reason for this matter. Please spare me a moment of your time."

"As long as it's related to this matter, the time doesn't matter. What's the reason? Tell me in detail."

"Then I have overstepped my bounds. Xiao Moyang, you said that Tang Zhaojun and you were on a mission together that day. What mission was it? And you went to Qingyun Market to purchase treasures. These are all recorded. A simple check will reveal everything. Are you sure you are not lying? How about we go and verify it?"

If you think clearly and speak now, we can let you make amends for your crime, but if you change your words after the investigation, that will be a different story."

Hearing Wang Zongyuan's words, Xiao Moyang sneered inwardly, but he feigned indifference as he glanced at Liu Qingquan. However, Liu Qingquan was completely oblivious to Xiao Moyang's actions. Ever since Wang Zongyuan entered the room, his gaze had been fixed on him. After all, Liu Qingquan had suffered repeated losses from this man, so naturally, he paid him special attention.

Seeing that Liu Qingquan ignored him, Xiao Moyang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sly smile. Then, he pretended to feel guilty, lowered his head and whispered:

"Brother Wang is absolutely right. I did lie before. In fact, Tang Zhaojun and I did not leave the sect to carry out a mission, but to do something entrusted by Brother Liu Lei."

Elder Qi was a shrewd man. Upon hearing Xiao Moyang's words, he keenly realized that there must be something behind it. He frowned slightly and immediately asked, "What did Liu Lei assign you to do?"

Liu Qingquan's heart tightened when he heard this, and his face turned pale. He quickly cast a warning look at Xiao Moyang, trying to stop him from continuing. Unfortunately, Xiao Moyang was looking down at the moment and was completely unaware of Liu Qingquan's gesture.

Liu Qingquan was extremely anxious and said quickly, "Xiao Moyang, you must not speak nonsense because of coercion from others!"

He knew that if Xiao Moyang continued to talk, it would probably bring them a lot of trouble. However, Xiao Moyang seemed determined to reveal the truth and turned a deaf ear to Liu Qingquan's warning.

"I'm absolutely not talking nonsense! Senior Brother Liu Lei told me personally that he and I should go outside the sect to kill Wu Ming! I was responsible for reporting Wu Ming's whereabouts to him, while he was responsible for setting up the ambush in advance. After I told him Wu Ming's exact location, he immediately rushed over to ambush. Unfortunately, when I arrived there shortly afterwards, I found that Wu Ming had already successfully killed Tang Zhaojun!

This is truly astonishing. You have to know that Wu Ming was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining at the time, while Tang Zhaojun was at the eighth level. He was able to defeat Tang Zhaojun, and my strength was even inferior to Tang Zhaojun's. Naturally, I didn't dare show up. I only dared to return to the sect after he left."
