All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

If the first method is chosen and Jinhe is killed, there will be two possible outcomes.

Firstly, it proves that Jinhe was innocent, but they caused a death.

Secondly, Jinhe was indeed possessed by the Xiao Yi, and they were able to obtain the Xiao Yi's aura. With the formation in place, the others would be safer.

If the second method is chosen and a lightning-summoning talisman is used, there are also two possible outcomes.

Firstly, it proves that Jinhe is indeed a normal person who was struck by lightning twice without suffering any major damage.

Secondly, he was indeed a demon, but after being struck by lightning, he had nothing left, making it difficult for them to catch the next one.

No matter which choice is made, there will be gains and losses, and for a moment, everyone was unable to make a decision.

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Feng Ning became somewhat impatient.

"Since you can't make a decision, then don't make me the bad guy. I'm the one who killed him, I'm the one who did it. If he really was a good person, and I killed an innocent person by mistake, it's not your fault. Why are you stopping me?"

Everyone was speechless.

Yao Feibai said helplessly, "You know I never meant that. Even if it's your fault, I will stand with you."

Finally, his expression hardened even more. "Feng Ning, we are friends."

Lin Tanyu replied just as firmly, "Junior Sister, I will always stand by your side. Do whatever you want to do, your senior sister will always support you."

Even Xue Feng, who was initially somewhat reluctant, still firmly stood on Feng Ning's side when faced with this choice.

“Junior sister, I really can’t bear it, but if we let this one go and harm more people, I would rather it was us who did it. Don’t worry, whether it’s right or wrong, we will share the responsibility with you.”

Zhang Gonghou did not answer. He had trusted Feng Ning before because, compared to their resistance, what Feng Ning said was more truthful.

The reason he cannot make a decision now is that if he were to actually kill an innocent person, it would definitely affect his Dao heart.

He has always walked the path of righteousness, never done anything against his conscience, and never done anything that is against the will of Heaven.

If his decision today results in a death, he will surely develop inner demons, which will also affect his future cultivation.

He didn't know what to choose.

As for Teng Rou, she still firmly denied Feng Ning's words, feeling that she should not easily judge other people's life or death.

Feng Ning nodded calmly.

"Teng Rou, you may be mistaken. This matter cannot be stopped just because you disagree. The reason I am explaining it to you now is because I think you were not bad before. But if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for not giving you a good look."

She simply raised her hand and set up two formations.

A formation trapped Teng Rou and Zhang Gonghou.

Another formation trapped Xue Feng, Yao Feibai, Lin Tanyu, and Nian Zhao, who were standing behind her.

"Gentlemen, today's matter is my decision, and it has nothing to do with you."

She strode up to Jinhe and plunged a knife into his heart.

Teng Rou and Zhang Gonghou were unable to break the formation and had no time to stop them.

The people in the other formation didn't even consider stopping them, so they didn't care whether the formation could trap them or not.

They watched helplessly as Feng Ning killed Jin He with a single blow, and they also saw a plume of black smoke emerge from his head and dart around wildly.

Feng Ning formed a magic array with both hands, activating the array in the room and leaving the black smoke nowhere to hide, quickly bringing it under control.

She first used an array to control the demon, and only after confirming that it wouldn't escape did she look at Jinhe lying on the ground.

Everyone's attention was also focused on Jinhe.

Jinhe looked quite different from how they usually saw him at that moment.

His face was pale and ashen, clearly indicating that he had been dead for several days.

Seeing his expression, Teng Rou was speechless.

Feng Ning did not ridicule her idea, but calmly took out the array plate she had made earlier.

Silently squatting to the side, he plucked a small piece of black smoke from Xiao Yi's body and stuffed it into the formation.

She put the array plate into her spatial storage and saw that it had no effect. When she took it out, she saw that it had regained its luster.

She nodded in satisfaction.

He then found a bottle, put the remaining demons inside, and then dispelled the formation.

"How did you feel after watching the whole thing?"

Lin Tanyu looked at her with a bright smile, "I knew Junior Sister was right."

Feng Ning smiled at her, then turned to Teng Rou, "Senior Sister, do you have anything else to say in your argument?"

Teng Rou opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

She stopped worrying about it and, seeing that the array plate remained still after she put away the demon, she was certain that everyone present was safe.

She nodded at Nian Zhao, who understood immediately.

"Alright, since you guys are all fine, then we don't need to focus our energy on you. But remember what happened today, and you must not tell anyone. Keep it to yourselves."

"Why is that?" Xue Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Tanyu explained, "There are still many monsters we haven't found yet. If people find out that we've made something like this, it might alert them."

Xue Feng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Zhang Gonghou frowned. "But if we don't tell, won't the others be in danger? Won't they continue killing?"

Feng Ning nodded, "It's certain they killed someone, but they've just come out and will pretend for a few more days. So we need to take advantage of this temporary quiet period to find them as soon as possible."

Nian Zhao smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean. And before we catch more people, it's best not to spread the news about the Xiao Yi, otherwise it could easily cause unrest."

If it only causes panic, that's fine. But what's worse is that people will vent all that panic on the Tianxuan Sect.

They say they are spreading rumors and misleading the public, and that they have ill intentions.

Without evidence, it's all just talk.

After the group nodded and swore an oath to Heaven, Nian Zhao felt relieved and let them go back.

The others are fine, but the main problem is that girl Teng Rou.

Nian Zhao couldn't understand why she, who wasn't originally like this, would suddenly become so indecisive.

Teng Rou was someone they had watched grow up. She was highly talented, quiet, and seemed to have a lot of prestige among the disciples.

Something seems off about this person making this decision.

But he thought that since Feng Ning had proven that Teng Rou was fine, then she must be fine.

Well, maybe he's just a kid and in a bad mood. As his senior apprentice, he shouldn't pry too much.

As long as she's not possessed by a demon and isn't doing anything bad, let her be.
