True Lord Tiebi held his sword, staring at Elder Mingyou with a cold expression. He stood in front of Pei Nianyi, motionless. "What are you dreaming of? You attacked a disciple of my Sword Sect. Do you think I'm dead?"

"I'm just asking about what happened. I won't embarrass you, young one." A voice suddenly rang out from the clouds above. "Elder Mingqiong of the Medicine Sect has emerged from seclusion. I'm deeply saddened to hear this."

The visitor was a Mahayana elder who rushed over from the Yao Sect after hearing about Yue Qifeng's affairs. The Elder Mingqiong he mentioned was Yue Qifeng's father.

"Master Mingjue." Tiebi, Daorun and Leling bowed in greeting.

"Fellow Daoists from Piaomiao Sect and Qionghua Sect, please come along. The elders from the three sects can also come along." Mingjue's tone was quite polite, but given his status, the threat was obvious.

Pei Nian looked calmly at Mingjue who had just landed, then turned to look at his companions from the Sword Sect. There was a hint of worry in everyone's eyes, and even Xiao Huaifeng looked nervous.

She shrugged, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and said nonchalantly, "Let's go. We have a clean record and have done nothing wrong. If we can help the Medicine Sect find the cause, it will be a great merit."

The disciples of Qionghua Sect, Piaomiao Sect and Jian Sect were all invited by Yao Sect to an inn they had booked in Yese Town.

The disciples of Yaozong silently led the disciples from the three sects who were attending the Qingyun Conference into different rooms.

Pei Nianyi was taken into Room No. 1.

True Lord Tiebi followed Pei Nianyi closely and entered Room No. 1, showing his protective intention.

The room was full of people from the Medicine Sect. The few disciples of the Medicine Sect who survived the Dusk Forest were kneeling on the ground. True Lord Mingjue sat in the center at the top, Elder Mingyou sat to the right of True Lord Mingjue, Elder Leling of Piaomiao Sect and Elder Daorun of Qionghua Sect sat to the left and right of Elder Mingyou.

True Lord Tiebi naturally found a place to sit down. There was no other place in the room. Pei Nianyi ignored their gazes, leisurely took out a chair from his storage ring and sat down, facing the elders calmly.

Pei Nianyi's face was rosy as she sat lazily. According to her habit, she would never stand if she could sit. She was just here to help, not to be tried, so she would do whatever she felt comfortable with.

True Lord Tiebi ignored Pei Nianyi's lazy sitting posture. He coughed lightly and said, "Pei girl, True Lord Mingjue of the Medicine Sect has something to ask you. If you answer truthfully, you don't have to be afraid. You are a disciple of my Sword Sect. If there is any injustice, the sect will definitely stand up for you and will not let anyone bully you for no reason."

True Lord Tiebi said the last half sentence extremely seriously, and he looked at True Lord Mingjue with a slight warning in his eyes.

True Lord Mingjue narrowed his eyes and looked gloomy. He was not shaken by True Lord Tiebi's words. After all, he didn't take an iron pen seriously.

His cold gaze fell sinisterly on Pei Nianyi's face, and he carefully observed every subtle expression of the girl.

The girl crossed her legs, supported her chin with one hand, and looked drowsy as if she couldn't open her eyes.

"Pei Nianyi, you were the last person to come into contact with Yue Qifeng. What did you say to him? What did you do?" True Lord Mingjue spoke slowly.

Pei Nian raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and yawned, "I just want to ask him, after poisoning and allowing the poison to spread, attracting a wave of demonic beasts and injuring so many cultivators, is he worried at all?"

The girl spoke slowly, her eyes secretly glancing at Elder Dao Run of the Qionghua Sect. Sure enough, after hearing the girl's answer, Elder Dao Run's face darkened.

"Then why did you point your sword at him?" Master Mingjue continued to ask.

"Because I'm very angry!" Pei Nian opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't understand why Master Mingjue would ask such a stupid question. "He poisoned and killed people indiscriminately. Should we still greet him with a warm hug when we see him?"

"But you said you wanted to kill him!" Elder Mingyou said angrily, "All my disciples of the Medicine Sect heard you say that."

Pei Nian blinked his almond-shaped eyes and said innocently, "I was just talking nonsense, how could you take it seriously? And didn't you all see it on the screen? I stood eight feet away from him after I said it, and I didn't even make a move."

Elder Mingyou fell silent. He knew that what Pei Nianyi said was true, because after those disciples of the Medicine Sect came out of the Dusk Forest, they told him the whole story in detail, without missing a single detail.

Everyone said the same thing. Pei Nianyi did not attack Yue Qifeng. He only pointed his sword at him, but the tip of the sword did not even touch him.

It was quite common for young and energetic cultivators to utter harsh words. Pei Nianyi only said them to scare Yue Qifeng. It would be ridiculous to take it to heart.

But such a result obviously cannot be explained to Elder Mingqiong of the Medicine Sect.

Elder Mingjue's cold gaze swept across Pei Nianyi's face. He asked in a cold and forceful voice, "It is said that there was a medical practitioner with you at the time. Did you ask him to poison Yue Qifeng?"

"A medical practitioner? He can't use poison. Ask your disciples from the Medicine Sect. His medicine is different from yours. It can restore our spiritual energy and physical strength. It doesn't poison people, only monsters!" Pei Nianyi had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Elder Mingjue stared at Pei Nianyi intently and asked sternly, "How can I be sure his poison won't harm anyone?"

Pei Nianyi put away his smile and said seriously, "The person who initially poisoned and attracted the monster tide was Yue Qifeng from your Medicine Sect, right? He recklessly brought in the monster tide, putting the disciples of our Sword Sect, Qionghua Sect, and Piaomiao Sect in danger. If it weren't for that medical cultivator's help, the consequences would be disastrous."

"The poison of that medical cultivator only targets magical beasts. All the cultivators present were helped by him, and no one was harmed by him."

"Does your Medicine Sect have that kind of poison? Everyone else is fine, but he's the only one who's in trouble? Besides, there's no way an ordinary poison can be hidden from the Medicine Sect disciple who's most proficient in poison techniques, right?"

Pei Nianyi hit the nail on the head. Yes, the people from the Medicine Sect knew how to refine poisons, and it was impossible for them not to be able to tell the poison apart.

"Then what about the demonic energy you used when dealing with the demonized Devouring Wolf?" Elder Mingyou asked with a ferocious look on his face, "Are you possessed by a demon?"

Master Tiebi frowned and turned to look over.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Pei Nianyi.

The room was dead silent.
