Xin Shuirong had been frozen in place since Su Yu appeared. Sensing his icy gaze, she trembled uncontrollably.

Suifeng sighed slightly. Judging from his junior brother's attitude, today's matter will definitely not end well.

Danyun told Suifeng, Suyu and others what had just happened, then stepped aside.

The sect leader is here, so he can just take over.

Su Yu tapped the chair handle with his slender white fingers, and glanced at Li Nian's body with indifferent eyes without saying a word.

Suifeng asked, "Li Nian, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Li Nian was startled by Su Yu's gaze, and after a pause, he said

"I still have some water spirit energy left on my right shoulder from the palm strike Chu Xu gave me back then."

Since waking up, Li Nian has not paid attention to the injury on his right shoulder. One reason is that compared with other injuries on his body, it is nothing.

Second, she had been wary of this day, but she never thought that this day would actually come.

Chu Xu was stunned when she heard this. She remembered that she had slapped Li Nian that day in order to break free from him. Her face turned pale and she said

"Senior Sister, I was trying to break free from the shackles of the viper and accidentally hit you."

Li Nian raised his eyebrows and said, "If that's the case, then I stabbed you accidentally because I was trying to get rid of the viper."

"you you……"

Chu Xu choked and was speechless.

Suifeng also frowned. The void had exceeded the scope of the secret realm at that time, and the viewing mirror could not record what happened.

These two people have different opinions and it is impossible to verify them. Perhaps... soul searching is the best method.

So, Suifeng said slowly

"Since you two have different opinions, let's search their souls. This is the most reliable method."

Everyone was stunned. Soul search?!

The spirit soul is the origin of the cultivator's soul. It is extremely important and cannot be easily peeped into by outsiders.

If the soul is searched, everything in the past will be revealed as if the person was stripped naked, and naturally it cannot be faked.

However, soul-searching is extremely dangerous. If the caster is not careful, or the soul-searcher resists vigorously, not only will the soul be severely damaged, but the outcome will usually be stupidity or death.

Chu Xu's face turned pale when she heard this and she stood there in a daze.

The same thing happened to Li Nian. He clenched his hands under his sleeves suddenly, and his eyes trembled. He absolutely could not let his soul be searched.

Otherwise, my extra memories from another world would definitely be discovered, as well as my memories of my past life...

Suifeng naturally knew the importance of the soul to a cultivator. He paused and said, "Elder Shuanghua has a high level of cultivation. If he were to cast the spell, he wouldn't hurt you."

Su Yu's deep gaze was always on Li Nian, observing her reaction.

Li Nian forced himself to calm down, his brain was working rapidly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he suddenly felt hopeful.

"Master, our master hurried back. There's no need to trouble him. I heard there's a lie detector stone in the sect. Perhaps that could replace soul searching?"

Su Yu paused tapping the chair handle, and a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes when he heard the words.

Suifeng frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Indeed, there is. This lie detector can also be used."

The Lie Detector Stone, as the name suggests, prohibits the person being tested from lying. If a lie is told, the stone will emit a green light and deliver an electric shock that will backfire on the person being tested.

Turning to look at Su Yu, he asked

"Junior brother, what do you think?"

An indifferent voice came, "Yes."

Li Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a soul search, everything would be fine.

After Ji Yanli presented the lie detector stone, Li Nian placed his hand on it, and the stone flashed. Suifeng asked

"In the void, have you wantonly killed your fellow disciples out of selfish motives?"

"Disciple does not."

"Then why did you hurt her?" Suifeng asked after seeing that the polygraph stone did not issue a warning.

"To break free from the shackles of the viper, I exhausted my spiritual energy and used the fifth move of the Mysterious Ice Sword Technique. It was meant to be a temporary escape, but Yu Xia was about to take me away from here.

He paused and continued, "I never thought that Chu Xu would actually drag me back. In desperation, I stabbed her and sent Yu Xia away. However, Chu Xu also slapped me towards the viper and it took me away."

Suifeng frowned. The lie detector stone did not issue any warning, and Li Nian did not suffer any electric shock.

Looking at Chu Xu, whose face was pale on the ground, since what Li Nian said was true, there was no need for Chu Xu to take the test. The truth was obvious.

After listening to this, Su Yu slowly stood up, and his cold gaze shot at Chu Xu as if it had substance. Thinking of Li'er's appearance that day, his eyes became even colder.

Chu Xu's face turned pale. Under this terrifying pressure, she actually spat out a mouthful of blood. Tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes and her body kept shaking.

Xin Shuirong looked at her daughter lying on the ground, hugged her distressedly, and said

"Please, Sect Master, give me a lenient punishment. Xu'er...Xu'er was confused for a moment, and I will definitely correct my mistakes in the future."

Jiang Yuxia was so angry that her teeth itched and sneered

"If it weren't for Elder Shuanghua, Li Nian would have died. He was so confused that he could harm others, and now he's crying thief. It's really ridiculous."

Then he turned around and saluted, saying, "Please ask Sect Master, Elder Shuanghua to make the decision for Li Nian."

Suifeng looked at the people below and noticed that his junior brother was still increasing his pressure. He quickly sent a message saying, "Junior brother, stop it. If you continue to do this, people will die. Let's deal with it according to the sect rules."

Then he said to Chu Xu below, "You harmed a fellow disciple and caused him serious injuries. You should have your cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect."

Chu Xu was stunned when she heard this, her eyes narrowed suddenly, and she said with a hint of tears in her voice

"Please, Sect Master, Chu Xu doesn't want to leave Tian Yan Sect. Chu Xu knows she is wrong."

Suifeng paused, then continued, "Since you were stabbed in the dantian, you have received your punishment. Therefore, you will go to the Deacon Hall to receive forty lashes and be confined to the Cliff of Repentance for three months. Do you agree?"

Chu Xu gritted her teeth, her heart filled with grief and indignation, and her hatred for Li Nian grew even stronger. She looked at Su Yu, who looked like a banished immortal, and lowered her eyes, saying, "Disciple pleads guilty."

Suifeng turned to look at Suyu and said, "Junior brother, what do you think of this punishment?"

Su Yu turned his gaze towards Li Nian and said with a thin mouth, "Li'er, what do you think?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at the two men in unison.

Suifeng's mouth twitched wildly again, his eyes full of numbness. He shouldn't have done this. He should have just asked his beloved disciple directly.

Li Nian was also stunned, looked up at Su Yu, and said

"Disciple listens to the Sect Master, thank you very much."

Xin Shuirong looked at Chu Xu with heartache. Forty lashes, how could she bear it? She was about to plead for mercy, but when she met her daughter's eyes, she didn't say anything in the end.

Everyone thought that the matter was over, but Su Yu took out the recording stone in the hall and turned on the video. After everyone had watched it, he slowly spoke.

"Elder Xin has tried to kill my disciple several times. How should I handle this?"

The pressure from the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage instantly filled the entire hall. Except for Li Nian and the others, Xin Shuirong and the other two were forced to kneel on the ground, looking up in horror.

Chu Xu saw her mother's miserable state and kept begging for mercy. Her former dignity and self-possession were gone.

"Elder, please show mercy and let my mother go."

Suifeng sighed. Why did he have to pick on his little disciple? It was good enough that his junior disciple could endure until now.
