As time passed, people from various sects arrived at the Demonic Phantom Sect one after another.

They gathered here, each with a different look on their face.

Some people came to welcome the disciples of their own sect who had survived by chance, with concern and relief on their faces; while others came to ask for an explanation because their own disciples had unfortunately died.

However, He Yan never showed up.

"What exactly does He Yan want to do? Why did so many disciples die tragically in the originally good and evil friendship association?" someone asked angrily.

"What on earth happened here?" another person looked confused.

"Yeah, why do we have to be trapped here?" More people began to echo, their voices filled with dissatisfaction and confusion.

Everyone started whispering to each other and discussing in all sorts of words, and the scene gradually became noisy and chaotic.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Before, we didn't investigate thoroughly, so we temporarily kept the disciples of the righteous path. Now that the truth has been revealed, those who want to leave can leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yan appeared in front of everyone without anyone noticing. He was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, his black hair was like a waterfall, and his thin lips seemed to be smiling.

He held a jade fan in his hand, and his steps were light and graceful, but every step seemed to be filled with endless calculations, like a cheetah spying on its prey in the dark.

"Fellow Daoists, please make yourselves at ease."

He spoke arrogantly and conceitedly, his voice as cold as an icy ridge.

Lin Yuan looked at He Yan, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. Gu Yi reached out and hooked his wrist: "Little Immortal, don't be impulsive~"

After hearing what He Yan said, no one moved.

"He Yan, you said you've investigated everything? How did our people die?"

A man from one of the sects asked, his sect's disciples were almost wiped out.

He had to know the reason.

He Yan raised his lips in a scornful arc, his narrow eyes as cold as a pond, his gaze slashing through everyone like a blade:

"During this secret realm trial, the disciples were hunting monsters, so there was no danger at first. But when I learned that a disciple had gotten into trouble in the secret realm, I became extremely worried."

"It was obviously you who sent people to hunt us down!" Lin Ning couldn't help but say.

"Oh? What did you say?" He Yan raised his eyebrows, his tone carrying a hint of threat and oppression, as if he was about to attack in the next second. He raised his head slightly and sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "Do you have any evidence to prove that I sent people to hunt you down? Besides, many of my disciples in the Demon Sect have also suffered casualties!"

"Isn't Chu Jing the evidence? He..."

Lin Ning was halfway through her words when she suddenly stopped talking as if something was stuck in her throat.

At this time, He Yan, who was sitting aside, leaned lazily on the dark carved chair, raised his narrow eyes slightly, and his eyes were like a poisonous snake, slowly sliding over the righteous people, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel chilling.

He whispered, "You said... Chu Jing~ I remember now, he seems to be from the Qingling Sword Sect~"

Hearing this, Lin Ning's face instantly turned ugly. He widened his eyes and looked at He Yan in disbelief.

Does He Yan want to say that their Qingling Sword Sect is the murderer?

"Xiao Ning..." Xiao Cheng hurriedly grabbed Lin Ning who was about to refute, and shook his head gently, signaling him not to continue talking and that they should wait and see what happened.

"Ah~ But he has been expelled from the sect. Don't worry, I didn't say that the murderer is from your Qingling Sword Sect." He Yan said with a smile.

When Lin Hai heard the name Chu Jing, he frowned slightly. Xiao Yuan was too soft-hearted back then. He should have killed Chu Jing and his son to avoid the disaster today!

"He Yan, since you said it wasn't done by a monster, and it wasn't you, then who else could it be?" someone else asked.

He Yan stood up, his lotus steps moving lightly, his white sleeves revealing a hint of coldness. After he stood still, he looked at the people of the righteous path with cold eyes, and said with a smile: "If you really want to know the truth, then follow me~"

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but followed him anyway.

Gu Yi frowned, not knowing what He Yan was up to.

Xie Wenyun had already told Wen Daochen roughly what happened in the secret realm, and he had no intention of leaving immediately.

Except for some timid people who did not want to pursue the matter after their sect members died, the rest of the people followed He Yan to the residence of the leader of the Demonic Sect.

Gu Yi's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Lin Yuan.

Jingyuan is still inside!

He was so confident in handing the person over to Shen Ye that he even forgot about it!

As soon as everyone came in, they smelled the odor of a rotting corpse. Jing Yuan's body was lying across the huge formation in the middle. It seemed that he had been dead for several days.

"This is! The leader of the Phantom Demon Sect, Jing Yuan!" Someone with a glance had already recognized him.

He Yan gently waved the jade fan in his hand. The delicate and vibrant peony blossoms on the fan formed a sharp contrast with the coldness in his eyes. He walked gracefully to the front of the righteous group, bowed slightly, and a playful smile played on his lips.

"The leader of my demonic sect is dead. Do you still think I'm behind this?"

The righteous people looked at each other in bewilderment. He seemed to have a point. Why would he want to kill the leader of the Illusion Demon Sect? Moreover, Jing Yuan was his confidant and obeyed his orders without hesitation.

He Yan looked at everyone and chuckled: "If you look carefully, you might find the real murderer."

Gu Yi looked at He Yan and felt that he could not delay any longer and he had to leave quickly.

He was searching for Shen Ye in the crowd. He had agreed with Shen Ye that he would help him leave, but why didn't he see him now?

"Look at this sword mark! It's the Star Shattering Slash!" Someone shouted.

Gu Yi didn't see Shen Ye, but he knew he couldn't delay any longer. He quietly retreated behind the crowd, trying to take the opportunity to slip away.

At that time, because Jing Yuan wanted to do that kind of thing to him, he was so angry that he used the magic moves, but he didn't expect that it would still leave a handle.

Only Gu Yi would use this move, which directly exposed the fact that Gu Yi was still alive...

Fortunately, although everyone knew that Gu Yi was still alive, no one knew which one was Gu Yi, so he still had a chance to escape.

He Yan raised his eyes slightly, a subtle glint flashing across them, but it was concealed by an elegant smile. He gently waved the white jade folding fan in his hand, and the breeze from it lifted a few strands of hair.

"My fellow Taoists, you have seen that only the Demon Lord Gu Yi can use the Star Shattering Slash. He is still alive and has mixed in with the disciples who came to participate in the Good and Evil Friendship Meeting this time. In order to avenge our previous siege, he killed all the immortal disciples in the secret realm, and then killed Jing Yuan!" His voice was filled with a hint of sadness.

Everyone was shocked, "Gu Yi is really still alive?"

He frowned slightly, as if heartbroken. "Now the evidence is irrefutable. The murderer is Gu Yi. Could it be false? In order to so-called eliminate evil and defend justice, you are willing to implicate innocent people and wrongly accuse good people? I am really disappointed."

He turned his back to the righteous people, his slightly trembling shoulders seemed to be suppressing his anger and sadness, but in fact, there was a hint of success at the corner of his mouth, but no one saw it.

A thousand alpaca horses were galloping through Gu Yi's heart.

He was so angry that he had already drawn a circle in his heart with He Yan as the center and his mother as the radius.

Damn He Yan! A huge shit pot was directly put on his head, and the key is that he can't refute it!
