As the Universe Turns - Chapter 93
Chapter 93 Trial (1)
The four elders of the Heavenly Sect had met Yi Chen three years ago, so they were naturally no strangers. However, they never expected that things would change in this world. Now that they had met again, they had actually come to interrogate him.
Elder Qianyuan and Elder Kunyi did not expect that the young man who made a splendid appearance in the Heavenly Gate three years ago would now be interrogated by them.
After the four of them sat down, the other sect leaders outside also came in. Qinghong Sect’s sect leader, Yu Xuanzi, wore a green robe and held a whisk. His cultivation was unfathomable. Even though Xiao Yichen had never seen him before, he could tell at a glance.
The Valley Master of the Hidden Edge Valley, Liu Xuanyin, had cold eyebrows and a hidden aura. He thought that his cultivation had already reached the Transformation Realm, but he knew more about Hidden Edge than his younger brother, Liu Xuanyang, who was beside him.
Although Xiao Yichen had never seen this person before, at this moment, he was still able to recognize at a glance. In the Hidden Edge Valley, who else could walk in front of everyone other than the Valley Master? Apart from the Hidden Edge Valley’s Valley Master Liu Xuanyin, who else was capable of restraining all of his cultivation?
Yu Xu Temple’s sect master, Yun Xiaozi, also came. This time, besides the current sect masters, there were also some other sect masters, such as Immortal Retention Sect’s Yang Zhenzi and the others, who also came personally.
A moment later, everyone arrived. The atmosphere on the Lian Feng stage became especially tense. The Sect Leaders of the various sects inside remained silent, and the disciples outside remained silent. It was not until a long time later that Elder Qianyuan said, “Xiao Yichen, there are a few questions that you need to answer truthfully.”
Yi Chen slowly raised his head. At this moment, his expression was still as calm as water. “Elder, may I ask?”
“Alright.” Elder Qianyuan stared at him with an indisputable gaze. “First question, let me ask you, do you know Hua Weiyang, the demoness of the Devil Religion?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many disciples from the various sects began to discuss in low voices. In fact, before this, most of them had only heard rumors. They heard that Xiao Yichen had an affair with the Demonic Woman of Lianhua Palace and betrayed the sect. However, what was the truth? They had never seen her before, and then they followed suit.
This was how rumors were spread by a group of stupid people. With only the slightest incendiary intention, they could easily play with those people and exploit them.
At this moment, the discussions in the crowd gradually subsided, but Yi Chen remained silent. When Elder Li Huo saw him pondering for a while, he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, “Speak! Do you know him or not?”
This sudden shout shocked many disciples outside. Fu Ling and the others were so anxious that they stamped their feet. The elders of the Heavenly Gate were clearly forcing their junior brothers to a dead end. Under such circumstances, could they answer and say that they knew each other? They would rather Junior Brother Xiao say they didn’t know each other, beat them to death than admit it. It was much better than admitting in front of everyone that they knew the demonic witch.
Yi Chen slowly raised his head and looked at Elder Qianyuan. He said calmly, “I wonder what kind of acquaintance does the Elder mean by’acquaintance ‘? Is it a chance encounter between two friends? If it’s just a chance encounter, then the disciple does know her.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many disciples outside began to discuss. Wasn’t it rumored that he was colluding with the demonic witch of the Devil Religion? Why did they meet again by chance?
In the distance, his eyebrows heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yi Chen’s answer was clever. If he didn’t admit it even if he was beaten to death, it wouldn’t work. Because at the foot of the Kunlun Mountain, the people from the Hidden Peak Valley had already seen it. If they directly answered, then the situation would be bad.
After a while, the outside gradually quieted down. Elder Qianyuan then asked, “Then when did you and Hua Weiyang get to know each other? Don’t hide anything from me!”
With this question, the atmosphere gradually became tense again. If the two of them had known each other for more than two years, then it would be incredible.
At this moment, Yi Chen’s expression did not change as he continued, “More than four months ago, it was early March. Originally, I was planning to return to the Xuanqing Sect, but on the way, I saw a mountain range …”
Immediately, he told the truth about the zither duel. When everyone heard this, some stroked their beards and nodded, while others shook their heads. If they followed his words, then the two of them would become close friends? This was ridiculous.
If what he said was false, then the two of them would have known each other a long time ago, and then conspired to leave for the Immortal Sect to steal the zither? But if they were conspiring to go to the Immortal Retention Sect to steal the zither, then why did Xiao Yi Chen bring the demonic woman to return the zither? This was a bit too complicated.
Just as the crowd was at odds, Immortal Retention Sect’s Yang Zhenzi stood out and said coldly, “That’s right, I sent Yaoqin to steal it on the sixth day of the third month, and then on the eighth day of the third month, Young Hero Xiao and Hua Weiyang came to return the zither. This matter is true.”
Hearing this, the crowd began to discuss again. In other words, Xiao Yi Chen did not lie? Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Zhenzi Yang said coldly, “But!”
“But,” he said, pulling everyone’s gazes back. He coldly said, “That day, Young Hero Xiao and Hua Weiyang were very close and protected this witch everywhere. I’ve tried to persuade her many times, but not only did Young Hero Xiao not listen, he even hurt many people in our sect!”
“What?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people began to discuss. If that was the case, then Xiao Yichen would really have known this Hua Weiyang long ago. Otherwise, how could he have protected this witch everywhere?
Yi Chen smiled coldly in his heart. What an Immortal Retention Sect. It was silent in the dark, but at the critical moment, it fiercely stabbed at him. As expected, it was a gentleman who endured it. He said, “Then could Sect Leader Yang Zhen Zi please tell us everything that happened that day?”
Zhenzi Yang said coldly, “On that day, the two elders of our sect advised you many times. You are a disciple of the Righteous Dao Profound Sect, and that demonic woman is a member of the Devil Religion. Have you ever heard of her?”
“What a joke!”
Yi Chen coldly flicked his sleeves. “At that time, you didn’t know her identity. I also didn’t know her identity. You guys said that she was a demonic demonic woman. Is she a demonic demonic woman? Then I should hand her over to you to kill her. What if she wasn’t a demonic demonic woman? If she was in the Righteous path, she would be able to catch the wind and kill people. What’s the difference between her and the demonic path?”
These words made his words vigorous, but Zhen-zi Yang couldn’t answer them for a moment. Before that, they really didn’t dare to determine Hua Weiyang’s identity.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded, “Xiao Yichen, you’ve done enough acting and lied. Is there anything else you want to say next?”
The person who spoke was none other than He Chongtian from the Hidden Edge Valley. He slowly stood up and cupped his hands towards the sect masters in the surroundings. Finally, he looked at Zhenzi Yang and said, “Fellow Daoist Yang Zhen, do you know why he protected that demonic woman everywhere at that time?”
“Oh?” Zhenzi Yang narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and said carelessly, “I wonder what Dao Friend Hidden Edge Valley has to say.”
He Chongtian smiled coldly. Suddenly, he pointed at Xiao Yichen with two fingers. “Because these two people had known each other three years ago!”
“What!”
This time, the four of them were even more shocked. Could it be that Xiao Yichen and the Diabolism witch had known each other for three years? During this time, he had told the witch how many secrets the Righteous Sects had? This … this is too terrifying. Could it be that the two of them have been secretly plotting for three years?
This time, even Xuanqing Sect and the others’ expressions changed. Jiang Nanliu suddenly stood up and pointed at He Chongtian and said, “Stop talking nonsense! Yichen went down the mountain last year. He had never been out on Purple Night Peak before. Even from the day he went down the mountain, he had known Hua Weiyang for less than a year. Why would he say that every three years? You are simply making up a story!”
“Something out of nowhere … Hehe!”
He Chongtian smiled coldly and looked at Xu Taichang, who was not far away. “Senior Brother Xu, even if he and that demonic woman wanted to kill us today, we still have to say it. Tell me, what did this little bastard do for that demonic woman in Dongjie not long after the Heavenly Gate Martial Meeting three years ago?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd began to discuss endlessly. Three years ago, it was the Heavenly Sect Martial Arts Association three years ago.
At this moment, her expression changed. She remembered that when she went to Dongjie, she happened to encounter a dragon vein shift for no reason and then separated from Yichen. Could it be that he and Hua Weiyang knew each other at that time? But why did he say that he met her in March this year?
