No matter how turbulent Xin Shuirong's heart was, her face became calm as water in just a few seconds, and she stared at Li Nian closely.

Seeing her calm tone and composed gestures, she was obviously just a teenage girl, but she exuded an aura that could not be ignored.

Li Nian looks and acts just like that bitch. Thinking about what happened more than ten years ago, is she still alive?

Impossible! She checked and he was clearly dead!

She lowered her eyes to hide the viciousness in them. No matter who she was, she must die today because she had harmed her Xu'er.

Xin Shuirong stood up, a cold smile appeared on her beautiful and plump face, and said

"I was wondering who hurt my Xu'er, but it was a young girl like you. What crime should you be punished for?"

Li Nian's expression became slightly restrained. These people really accused her of a crime right from the start. They didn't even produce any evidence and just kept spewing nonsense.

Lifting his eyelids, he looked directly into Xin Shuirong's eyes, which were filled with anger and majesty. He was indeed speaking to the Second Elder.

"I, your disciple, didn't realize that nowadays, the Deacon Hall enforces the law without evidence. All they need to do is convict someone with just a word!"

The Second Elder paused, his big hands slightly grasped the chair handle, his majestic eyes sharpened, and he said solemnly

"How dare you! You're talking nonsense, and you refuse to repent even when death is imminent. If you want evidence, come and bring it up."

A disciple from the Deacon Hall presented a square plate with a dagger on it. The blade was as black as ink and extremely sharp, shining as cold as ice in the light.

Without waiting for the Second Elder to speak, Xin Shuirong angrily shouted, "This is the weapon that killed my daughter. How dare you say this dagger is not yours!"

Thinking of his daughter's still weak and pale face and the damaged dantian, the anger in his heart overwhelmed his reason, and he wanted to kill Li Nian right now.

Li Nian looked at the dagger. It was indeed hers. It was given to her by her senior brother for self-defense.

She couldn't deny this. It was she who caused Chu Xu's abdominal injury. If the sect leader and the elders were there, there would be nothing to be afraid of. After all, it was Chu Xu who had caused her serious injuries.

Now even the deacons and elders are not here, and these two are in the same group. If I admit it so directly, I am afraid I will not be able to leave this hall today.

I just hope Yuxia can meet the sect leader as soon as possible. Now I can only delay the time as much as possible.

Seeing that Li Nian said nothing, the Second Elder thought that Li Nian was afraid because of his guilty conscience. He slapped the chair handle, stood up, and scolded him coldly.

"This dagger is yours. This is evidence one. There's some ice energy left on Chu Xu's wound. This is evidence two. What else do you have to argue about?"

Li Nian said calmly, "This is indeed my dagger, and I was the one who injured her, but everything happened for a reason, and she deserves it!"

When Xin Shuirong heard Li Nian admit it, her brows relaxed and a look of joy flashed in her eyes. But when she heard the last sentence, the anger she had been suppressing could no longer be suppressed, and she said angrily

"You hurt my daughter first, and yet you still dare to say that? How outrageous!"

The second elder beside him was also startled, and cast a sharp gaze like a knife at Li Nian, saying coldly

"Humph! The evidence is conclusive. If you admit your mistake, I will deal with you accordingly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The two men wanted Li Nian to confess his guilt wholeheartedly, as if they were in a hurry, but Li Nian would not do as they wished.

"The elder didn't even listen to my explanation and concluded that it was my fault. How unfair and unjust!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Nian saw the second elder's face suddenly turned as black as coal, and he knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment he felt a wave of overwhelming pressure coming over him.

This was probably the pressure of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Li Nian felt as if his body was being pressed by a huge rock, and he was a little breathless, but it was okay.

She had experienced Su Yu's pressure before. She had experienced it in the Void Refining Stage, so she could naturally withstand it in the Nascent Soul Stage.

I only heard a voice of pressure from above.

"Explain? The evidence is all here. What else is there to explain? And you dare to contradict the elders? How disrespectful! How uneducated!"

Li Nian raised his head. Even though he was under pressure, his back remained straight and his waist did not bend at all. His eyes were full of coldness. He said

"My disciple said that this happened for a reason. She intended to harm me, and I was trying to protect myself. Is that wrong?"

Without waiting for them to speak, Li Nian spoke again, "As for etiquette, it should be shown to those who deserve respect. Besides, I was taught by my master. Are you saying that my master is uneducated?"

When Su Yu was mentioned, the second elder was surprised to realize that this man was Elder Shuanghua's beloved little disciple. Seeing Li Nian's pale face, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly withdrew his pressure.

His brows furrowed, and he thought of the fate of those who had disrespected Elder Shuanghua before. He clenched his hands and said,

"This elder was only talking about you. I never mentioned Elder Shuanghua."

Thinking of what Li Nian said last time, his face turned cold again and he scolded

"I am the elder of the Tianyan Sect. As a disciple, shouldn't you respect me?!"

The pressure was removed, and Li Nian's tightly clenched hands relaxed slightly, saying

"Disciples only respect those who deserve respect. As the second elder of the Deacon Hall, you condemned me without any reason. Should I respect you?"

The second elder's face darkened again. Looking at Li Nian who was still calm and rebellious, he felt angry, but because of Elder Shuanghua, he didn't dare to do anything to her.

Xin Shuirong had no idea how much Elder Shuanghua loved Li Nian, and she felt very disdainful when she saw the Second Elder retreating.

Xin Shuirong's sharp eyes fell on Li Nian as if they were real. Looking at that face, she unconsciously released her pressure, trying to break Li Nian's calm appearance.

She wanted to break her pride, make this face cry bitterly, beg for mercy on the ground, and make her kneel down to her.

Li Nian's eyes suddenly turned cold. She could feel Xin Shuirong's full malice towards her, so she had to use all her spiritual power to resist this pressure.

"You hurt my daughter first and then insulted her. Even if you are Elder Shuanghua's disciple, you have to pay the price. Do you really think that my Qingyun Sect and Longyuan Kingdom are easy to bully?" Xin Shuirong said coldly.

Looking at Li Nian's increasingly pale face, Xin Shuirong slowly curled up her red lips and increased the pressure again.

Her steps became weak, and Li Nian bit her lower lip and endured it, refusing to beg for mercy, with a stubborn look on her face. Just when Li Nian was about to give up, a white shadow came and blocked her way.

Li Nian raised her heavy eyelids and saw the man making seals with his hands, muttering some spells, and a huge protective shield rising from his head, protecting her tightly.

The two waves of spiritual power collided, and the wind suddenly blew up, and the white clothes swayed in the wind. It was clearly Yue Jian.

"Senior Sister? You're finally here?"

Yue Jian didn't turn around, but a hint of anger appeared on her usually calm face. She looked at the person in front of her and said in a deep voice, "Regulate your breathing first!"

Li Nian pursed his lips, took out the soul-replenishing pill and swallowed it, then quickly adjusted himself.

Xin Shuirong originally wanted to release all the pressure in an attempt to crush her soul, but she didn't expect that at the last moment, a spiritual power almost equal to hers would attack her.

She was startled for a moment, and the impact of the spiritual power wave made her take two steps back. Then she raised her head and looked, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. It was Yue Jian, the first disciple of Yuque Immortal Venerable.
