The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Just as tensions were about to rise, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out in the air: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a streak of purple light gracefully arrive, instantly solidifying into a human shape in mid-air.

The newcomers were disciples from a nearby sect's encampment, here on official business. Upon landing, they frowned upon seeing the tense standoff between the two sides.

The leading disciple glanced at the crowd, then looked at the disciple who was about to attack Lin Yitang, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why are you drawing your swords against your fellow disciples?"

Upon seeing this, the originally aggressive cultivators immediately changed their expressions. The leader's eyes darted around, and he spoke first, his tone quite unfriendly: "We just suspect that these people have unknown origins. Seeing that all the sect disciples here have died, we can't help but have doubts and want to question them."

The disciple in charge frowned and said in an unhappy tone, "Interrogation? Is it necessary to arrest someone? You've gone too far!"

The cultivator's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Of course! What if these people are the murderers who killed these disciples, and they intend to frame the sect and bring disaster upon themselves? How can we not be on guard?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple in charge finally understood what had happened.

He slowly shook his head and explained, "Junior brothers, you've misunderstood. These disciples are indeed inner disciples sent by our sect to provide support at the front lines. They were just attacked by a beast tide and contacted us urgently in desperation."

"We are here to assess the casualties, so please make way for us."

However, the group of cultivators who had initially doubted Lin Yitang and the others now looked grim, clearly finding their previous suspicions and accusations laughable.

They were embarrassed, but they still persisted, saying, "Who knows if the disciples here really died from the beast tide? We didn't see any beast tide here. If there really was a beast tide, how come none of these inner disciples are alive? It's impossible that a beast tide that could kill our sect's stationed disciples couldn't even defeat a few dozen supporting disciples, right?"

Their words were full of provocation and disdain. Lin Yitang's eyes turned cold. She had always disdained engaging in verbal sparring, especially with these people who were unaware of the truth and making unfounded accusations.

Without hesitation, she took out a memory jade from her storage bag, flicked her wrist, and threw it away.

The recording jade was originally used to record someone's attempt to escape during the beast tide. It was meant to be evidence of an outer disciple's escape, but now it comes in handy.

The image-recording jade traced a graceful arc in the air before hovering, emitting a soft glow. Then, a transparent light screen appeared out of thin air, clearly displaying the image from the jade to everyone's eyes.

The scene begins with Lin Yitang and her group arriving at the location. They are greeted by a landscape littered with severed limbs, clearly indicating that no one was alive there before their arrival.

Then, the scene shifts to a beast tide, with countless monsters swarming in.

Just as everyone held their breath, a massive third-tier demonic beast slowly appeared, radiating a terrifying aura. Upon seeing this third-tier demonic beast, the cultivators present all changed their expressions. They hadn't expected that a demonic beast of the second tier or higher would actually appear on the outskirts; no wonder the cultivators here were finding it difficult to resist.

The scene then shifts to Lin Yitang leading her disciples in a fierce battle against the beast tide. They ultimately defeat the third-tier demonic beast, averting the beast tide crisis.

Of course, there were also some scenes of outer disciples deserting in the face of battle, which Lin Yitang recorded one by one.

After viewing the images in the image jade, Lin Yitang's lips curled slightly, and she said calmly, "Now you all should believe that we are innocent, right? Not only that, we also successfully annihilated a third-tier demonic beast. Isn't that a great achievement?"

After reading it, the disciples all nodded in satisfaction. The leader slowly said, "That's right. The number of demonic beasts killed by everyone will actually be recorded on your sect tokens for subsequent merit awards. The sect will not wrong anyone who has made a contribution, nor will it wrong the innocent."

"Of course, those who do wrong will also receive the punishment they deserve."

Having said that, he slowly swept his gaze across the outer disciples who had tried to escape in the earlier images.

The disciples felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar when his gaze swept over them, and cold sweat poured down their backs. They knew that their actions had violated the sect rules and were already known to the sect.

The sect does not allow desertion in the face of battle; anyone who violates this rule will be taken to the Enforcement Peak by the steward disciples for punishment.

Watching the disciples, including the male cultivator, being led away by the steward disciples, Lin Yitang sighed inwardly. The crisis had been resolved, and the misunderstanding had been cleared up, but one question still lingered.

How exactly was this third-tier demonic beast released from the encirclement?

The central battlefield is where the sect's Foundation Establishment stage disciples are stationed. The defenses there are tight, and in theory, high-level demonic beasts shouldn't be able to break through them. Lin Yitang frowned slightly, her eyes flickering, as if she was pondering something.

Meanwhile, the cultivator who had just led the questioning of Lin Yitang and the others' ill intentions was now filled with anxiety.

As a disciple of Danfu Peak, while others might not know how this third-tier demonic beast came to be, he knew perfectly well. Because this demonic beast was released by Senior Sister Ye Qiuli from the middle tier!

Senior Sister Ye Qiuli had secretly instructed him that once the third-tier demon beast was released, he should guide the newly arrived Lin Yitang and the others to come and provide support. If Lin Yitang were to die, that would be the best outcome; if not, they should insist that Lin Yitang had killed the disciples here, and no matter what means they used, they should pin the blame on her.

To his surprise, Lin Yitang and the others arrived so quickly that before he could even have a chance to lure them, they had already defeated all the third-tier demonic beasts and their horde.

This forced him to temporarily change his plans and use some flimsy excuses to frame Lin Yitang.

What devastated him even more was that Lin Yitang had a habit of carrying a photographic jade with her at all times!

He must be crazy. What kind of decent person would secretly record someone with a recording jade? Now, his carefully planned scheme to frame someone has completely fallen apart, and he has no choice but to immediately report the matter to Senior Sister Ye Qiuli in the central area.

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still. He quietly withdrew from the crowd and came to a secluded corner. He took out a communication jade slip from his storage bag and quickly probed it with his divine sense.

A moment later, a clear and melodious female voice rang out from the jade slip: "What is it?"

The cultivator hurriedly replied respectfully, "Senior Sister, things have taken a turn for the worse. For some reason, that woman Lin Yitang is carrying a recording jade, which recorded the entire process of us framing her. Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, our plan has probably been exposed."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the jade slip, followed by Ye Qiuli's cold voice: "Useless! Didn't I tell you to be absolutely sure? You can't even handle this little thing!"

The cultivator's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice, "Senior Sister, please forgive me! I never expected Lin Yitang to be so cautious. Please give me another chance, and I will do my best to make amends!"

"Alright, in that case, I'll give you a new task. Remember to complete it this time."

Ye Qiuli said coldly, "Since the outer perimeter can't kill Lin Yitang, then you find a way to bring her to the inner perimeter. Just bring her to the inner perimeter, and I'll handle the rest myself. You just stay put and don't cause me any trouble."

Having said that, he cut off the communication.

The cultivator felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and quickly put away the jade slip, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

He knew that with Senior Sister Ye Qiuli's abilities, she could handle this matter flawlessly. That arrogant woman, Lin Yitang, would pay the price sooner or later!
