The noise in the crowd was getting louder and louder, and Xie Jingxiu and Cen Pianpian were being roasted on the fire by everyone.

But Xiao Pingshan didn't dare let these two people take the True Word Pill easily. Not to mention Cen Pianpian, after Xie Jingxiu got into trouble, he had suspected that this matter was related to her.

If it weren't for the protection of the Cen family's ancestor, he would have tortured the man severely.

As for Xie Jingxiu...

This disciple of his is good in every way. He has excellent qualifications and a ruthless character. He possesses all the qualities of a sect leader.

But this inner demon is Xie Jingxiu's biggest flaw.

If these two people were to take the Mantra Pill, who knows what kind of trouble would happen.

We can’t let these people continue to make trouble!

Xiao Pingshan cleared his throat and said loudly: "Regarding the matter of Cheng Shuyan harming my disciple Xie Jingxiu, my Xuanfeng Sect's Cen Zhenzun had already searched Cheng Shuyan's soul and confirmed this fact.

Tianyin Sect's Young Friend Meng, Luoyang Sect's Young Friend Lin, and others can all testify. I think there's no need to discuss this matter further!"

Jiang Hongyue would not let Xiao Pingshan get away with it so easily. She spoke in a louder voice, drowning out Xiao Pingshan's voice:

"Master Xiao, this is just the evidence your Xuanfeng Sect has produced. If we want to find out the truth, we must at least hear what the parties involved have to say, right?"

"That's right, Master Xiao, I also have some evidence to present. Why don't you all take a look at it first?" Cheng Shuyan said, following Jiang Hongyue's words.

Now that things have come to this, if he continues to stop Cheng Shuyan from producing evidence, he will be confirming the slander of Xuanfeng Sect.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Shuyan took out a photo stone and said to everyone:

"Everyone, please look, this is what happened on that day.

That night, Fellow Daoist Xie from Xuanfeng Sect inexplicably came to the guesthouse where I was staying. I felt something was amiss, so I became more cautious.

As the contents of the photo stone were revealed one by one, the conversation between the two people was gradually heard by everyone.

From the moment Xie Jingxiu claimed that Cheng Shuyan had asked her out, and then realized that she seemed to have fallen into someone else's trap, he looked like he was being tricked.

When Xie Jingxiu attacked Cheng Shuyan for no apparent reason, Cheng Shuyan had no choice but to fight back.

Until finally Xiao Pingshan and others arrived, Xie Jingxiu simply took advantage of the situation and crashed into Cheng Shuyan's sword himself. Cheng Shuyan had no time to react and was framed by Xie Jingxiu.

Everyone saw Xie Jingxiu's condition at the time. He was obviously possessed by a demon.

"This... this Fellow Daoist Xie from Xuanfeng Sect... why does it feel like he's been possessed by a demon?" someone in the crowd speculated in a low voice.

"Yeah, this is clearly the look of someone being possessed by inner demons!"

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Cheng is the victim in this matter?"

"Then Xie Jingxiu went to find Fellow Daoist Cheng because he was framed. But who would frame him like this?"

Good question!

When Cheng Shuyan heard this voice, he silently thanked the person who said it.

“I don’t know who framed Fellow Daoist Xie, but it was obvious that Fellow Daoist Xie’s inner demons were triggered after he smelled the incense in my room that night.

And that incense...was given to me by Daoist Zhao Ziyi from Xuanfeng Sect, who said it was for calming the mind and spirit."

Well, now more people are involved, and they are all related to Xuanfeng Sect.

Xiao Pingshan rubbed his eyebrows irritably, feeling that the matter was completely out of his control.

But in order to establish its authority, the Xuanfeng Sect made today's scene too grand, and now he has no way to end it.

He could only put on a cold face and ask someone to find Zhao Ziyi.

At this time, he could only hope that Zhao Ziyi would understand better and take charge of the matter.

Zhao Ziyi quickly arrived at the square and greeted everyone, saying, "Disciple Zhao Ziyi, greetings to the Sect Master, the Elders, and fellow Taoists."

"Just now, my friend Cheng said that you were the one who sent the incense to Jing Xiu's room on the night she had the accident. Can you tell me what happened?"

Xiao Pingshan looked at him meaningfully, and Zhao Ziyi lowered his head silently.

He knew what Xiao Pingshan meant, but he had been waiting for this day for so many years, how could he allow himself to be manipulated by Xiao Pingshan again?

Zhao Ziyi looked a little frightened. He looked cautiously at Cen Pianpian and the Cen family ancestor behind him, then lowered his head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum:

“It was indeed my disciple who delivered the incense that day, but I was also following Junior Sister Pianpian’s instructions.

That day, Junior Sister Pianpian told her disciples that after Senior Brother Xie married Fellow Daoist Cheng, Fellow Daoist Cheng would become her sister-in-law. However, she had offended Fellow Daoist Cheng before, so she wanted to ease the relationship with her.

Junior Sister Cen said she was too shy to go to Fellow Daoist Cheng herself, so she instructed her disciples to deliver the incense burner to Fellow Daoist Cheng, saying that it could help practitioners calm their minds.

"Nonsense!" The Cen family ancestor, who had been silent for a while, heard him throw everything onto Cen Pianpian and couldn't help but interrupt:

"Your cultivation level is much higher than Pian Pian's, and you also call her Junior Sister, so how can you say that she ordered or commanded you?

"I think you have evil intentions! After failing to frame Cheng Xiaoyou, you want to put all the blame on your fellow disciples!"

At this moment, an ordinary-looking old man walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Jiang Hongyue.

Just him standing there was enough to make everyone feel a strong sense of oppression.

Everyone speculated that this person might be the one who had previously blocked the attack from the ancestor of the Cen family.

Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, the Cen family's ancestor's expression instantly became extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoist Cen, you and I have known each other for hundreds of years. We are both old monsters who have lived for thousands of years. Why bother with the twists and turns of the younger generation?

You and I might as well find a quiet place to drink tea and discuss things, and let them toss around on their own."

His tone sounded like he was reminiscing with an old friend, but the ancestor of the Cen family felt as if he was facing a powerful enemy, and his hair stood on end.

"Jiang Wen, it's you!" he said gritting his teeth.

"It's me, so...are you still going to interfere in today's matter?"

"Since it is the younger generation's business, let them solve it themselves." The ancestor of the Cen family simply waved his sleeves and turned away.

The annoying person left, and Jiang Wen looked at Xiao Pingshan with a forced smile and said:

"Junior Brother Xiao, why don't you give one of your Mantra Pills to each of the four of them? I'm in the mood to listen to this excitement today."

What can Xiao Pingshan do to someone who even the ancestor of the Cen family doesn't dare to face?

He had no choice but to distribute the Mantra Pills to the four people with a cold face.

Zhao Ziyi took the pill first, and then repeated what he had just said to prove that what he said was true.

Cheng Shuyan then recounted what happened that night, which was exactly the same as what was recorded in the photo stone.

Just as everyone saw this and were wondering why Cen Pianpian wanted to frame his senior brother, Cheng Shuyan spoke again.

"Junior Sister Cen, it's your turn now. Why don't you tell me why you do this?"

Cen Pianpian's face turned pale in an instant, and she stammered for a long time, not daring to speak.

The Cheng family, which claimed to have expelled Cheng Shuyan from the family, now has an old ancestor in the God Transformation Stage leading a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"I'm late. Since Young Friend Cen can't speak for himself, let this witness I brought with me speak for him!"
