As the Universe Turns - Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Heavenly Gate Order
“This …”

At first, the sect leaders were hesitant, but they slowly walked up to the coffin. They saw that the sword wound on Tang Qing’s neck was about two and a half inches long. From left to right, it was flat and smooth. The depth and width of the wound were very accurate, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Not long after, the faces of the sect masters changed, “This … indeed! Indeed, the exact same sword technique!”

At this moment, the entire Lian Feng Tower was boiling with excitement. Many people stood up and walked over. Even the four elders of the Heavenly Gate stood up, their eyes filled with doubt.

The faces of Xuanqing Sect and Excellency on Xiao Yichen’s side were slightly ugly. It was only after a long time that the crowd gradually quieted down. At this moment, everyone’s gazes were focused on Xiao Yichen, but this time, their gazes were filled with killing intent.

Liu Xuanyin said, “The sword is invisible, the sword qi is shadowless, the sword qi seals the throat, the sword qi enters the body, shatters the heart meridians … This kind of sword technique can only be done by Fairy Miaoyin’s’ 33 Layered Jade Flute Sword Technique ‘, right? Everyone, let’s see if this wound is a sword injury from the Jade Flute Sword Technique.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was even more shocked. Many people looked towards Ling Yin in the distance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Liu Nan angrily said, “Liu Xuanyin! Stop talking nonsense. How can you tell that this is caused by my junior sister’s Jade Flute Sword Technique? I think it’s not impossible for your Hidden Sword Valley’s sword technique to leave behind such a sword injury!”

Liu Xuanyin said indifferently, “My Hidden Sword Valley’s swordsmanship really can’t leave such a sword wound. The shape of the sword can be forged, but the sword qi and sword intent can’t be faked.”

At this point, he looked at Ling Yin in the distance, “Why don’t you invite Fairy Miaoyin over to take a look and see if this is a sword wound left behind by the Jade Flute Sword Technique?”

The crowd immediately quieted down. Everyone looked at Ling Yin, only to see her standing there with no change on her face. On the contrary, her eyebrows were filled with intentions. At this moment, she looked much more anxious than she did.

Liu Xuanyin withdrew his gaze from Ling Yin and looked at Xiao Yichen again. He continued, “With this dao, it is almost impossible for a dao expert like Tang Qing and Tian Yangzi of Yuji Peak to be killed in a single sneak attack. Unless it is the Jade Flute Sword Technique … a sword that seals the throat!”

At this point, he looked at Tian Ji Excellency and said, “I want to ask Tian Ji Excellency if the fatal sword on Fellow Daoist’s Elder Tian Yangzi’s neck is exactly the same as that on Despicable’s Elder Tang Qing.”

As soon as he asked this question, everyone’s gaze quickly shifted to Yi Huanzhen. At this moment, everyone’s eyes were filled with shock. If it was confirmed that Tian Yangzi’s fatal sword wound was also left behind by the Jade Flute Sword Technique, then Xiao Yichen would not be able to escape today. Although no one was present when Tang Qing and the others died, when they found Tian Yangzi’s corpse, Xiao Yichen and the Demon Sect witch happened to be there at that time. Could this be a coincidence? This was conclusive evidence!

The expressions of the four Heavenly Clan Elders were uncertain. Seeing that Yi Huanzhen did not speak, Liu Xuanyin continued, “May I ask Heavenly Secrets Excellency to remove Tian Yangzi’s corpse as well?”

“No need.”

Yi Huanzhen finally said, “Elder Tian Yang has passed away. It is disrespectful to disturb him. As for the fatal sword strike on Elder Tian Yang’s neck, it is exactly the same as the fatal sword wound on Tang Qing’s neck. It comes from the same sword, the same person, and the same sword technique.”

“This … is it really that evil beast!”

Everyone in Lian Feng Tower’s face changed. They all looked at Xiao Yichen, their eyes filled with anger, regret, and killing intent.

Liu Xuanyin continued, “Excellency of Heavenly Secrets is clever. You Zhu is weak. Why don’t you ask Excellency of Heavenly Secrets to tell us what kind of sword technique left behind this fatal sword wound?”

As one of the Seven Profound Azure Sovereigns, Yi Huanzhen’s Heavenly Secrets. Although he was called “True and Illusory”, “Void and Real”, his words at this moment represented the entire Profound Azure Sect. Under the eyes of everyone, there must be no falsehood.

He placed one hand behind his back and the other on his chest, saying, “Swordsmanship is indeed Junior Sister’s Jade Flute Swordsmanship.”

“What!”

This time, not only did the faces of the people from the various sects and sects change, the faces of the people from the Xuanqing Sect also changed. If the rest of them said this, they would not believe it, but if they said it from Yi Huanzhen’s mouth, then there was absolutely no falsehood!

Evidently, what Liu Xuanyin wanted was for this sentence to be spoken from Yi Huanzhen’s mouth, and it was more effective than saying it from Ling Yin’s mouth.

“Heavenly Secrets Excellency! How is that possible? How is that possible! Are you mistaken? How, how …”

Jianyi’s face was deathly pale. Even his words were somewhat incoherent. Other people could say, see, and guess wrongly, but it was impossible for Yi Huanzhen. Since he said that this was the Jade Flute Sword Technique, then this must be the Jade Flute Sword Technique!

The crowd was unable to calm down for a long time. It was like a storm. Who could believe it?

Liu Xuanyin stopped talking and sat down silently. He picked up the teacup in his hand. He Chongtian stepped forward and pointed at Xiao Yichen. “Xiao Yichen! Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?”

Yi Chen smiled miserably and said, “You’ve already finished speaking. What else do I have to say …”

“Nie Ban … Nie Ban!”

Venerable Xuanyang was so angry that his entire body trembled. His eyes widened and his beard halberd opened. He wished he could smash Xiao Yichen’s Heavenly Spirit Cover with a single palm. Venerable Mei Yue shook his head at him and lowered his voice, “Junior Brother, I’m afraid there’s something fishy about this place …”

“What else is strange!”

Venerable Xuanyang flicked his sleeves and pointed at Xiao Yichen. His hands trembled as he looked at Mei Yue and said, “You heard clearly just now that Tian Yangzi died under the Jade Flute Sword Technique …”

“This … alas!” Venerable Mei Yue let out a long sigh and stopped talking.

‘”Pah! This little bastard really colluded with the Devil Religion. Fortunately, three years ago in the Heavenly Gate, Tian Yangzi had protected him like that. Now, he actually killed Tian Yangzi in order to silence him. If he didn’t slash him today, it would be difficult for him to righteous under the heavens!”

At this moment, the anger of the crowd could not be calmed down. Some of them were even gradually approaching the middle of Lian Feng Stage, vowing to avenge their senior brothers. If it weren’t for the fact that there were four Heavenly Sect Elders sitting there, they would have already rushed in with their swords in their hands.

“Quiet!”

At the most noisy moment, a cold shout suddenly rang out, causing everyone to retreat. Elder Qianyuan sat in his seat, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Ling Yin in the distance. “Fairy Miaoyin, this is your disciple. What do you have to say?”

At this moment, Ling Yin’s face was still calm. She only quietly looked at Yi Chen and said, “Chen’er, answer me, Teacher, did you kill Tian Yangzi and Tang Qing?”

Everyone remained silent. Yi Chen turned to look at Master and choked, “Master, don’t you believe me …”

Taking a deep breath, he continued, “That evening, Miss Wei Yang and I arrived at the bottom of the valley and found the corpse of Elder Tian Yang. At that time, Elder Tian Yang had already died for six hours. At that time, Miss Wei Yang and I were examining Elder Tian Yang’s wounds, and Martial Uncle Mei and the others came down …”

After Ling Yin finished listening, she looked at everyone and said indifferently, “Everyone, you heard me.”

“What a joke!”

Liu Xuanyang flicked his sleeve and said, “He killed someone, will he admit it? Now that the evidence is conclusive, does he still need to admit it? He said that he didn’t kill anyone, so he didn’t kill anyone? What a joke!”

“I wonder if everyone can listen to my next words.”

At this time, Yi Huanzhen took a step forward and said, “Although the sword technique is the Jade Flute Sword Technique, the person who killed with this sword technique may not necessarily be Xiao Yichen.”

Liu Xuanyin put down the teacup in his hand and said, “Tian Ji Excellency means that other than Fairy Miao Yin and her disciples, there are other people who know the Jade Flute Swordsmanship.”

“I don’t dare to speak rashly, but it’s not impossible. If someone only specializes in one of the sword throat seals, it would be enough to kill someone,” said Yi Huanzhen.

Liu Xuanyin said, “However, Excellency should also know that this sword technique was originally created by Fairy Miaoyin. If there is only a sword technique but no incantation, if you want to cultivate this sword technique to the level of one sword sealing the throat, I’m afraid that there is absolutely no second person in the world who has the same peerless talent as Fairy Miaoyin, right? Even if there is, that person can’t cultivate without a sword technique, right?”

“Forget it, there’s no need to say anything else.”

At this moment, Elder Qianyuan’s gaze froze as he looked at Xiao Yichen, “Xuanqing Disciple Xiao Yichen, you still have something to say.”

Yichen laughed miserably and said, “I didn’t kill anyone, so I didn’t kill anyone. Today, I am destined to endure this grievance. I … have nothing to say.”

“Junior Brother!”

The faces of Poria and the others in the distance changed drastically. This meant that the dust had settled. In the end, it was decided that he had colluded with the Devil Dao to kill, and there was no way he could survive!

“Alright!”

Elder Qianyuan stood up. He raised his hand and a golden token appeared in his palm. It was like a Heavenly Gate Token that commanded the world. Once the Heavenly Gate Token was issued, there was no need for him to disobey!

“The Heavenly Gate Token is here. The Mysterious Green Sect will receive the order!”

Elder Qianyuan raised the token in his hand with an unquestionable look in his eyes. The people from all sects were even more shocked. They didn’t expect that the Heavenly Gate would actually use the Heavenly Gate Token against Xuanqing Sect this time!

Although the Heavenly Gate Token had the saying “Don’t dare to disobey”, it was only aimed at sects other than the four great sects. Xuanqing Sect was the leader of the Righteous Dao in the world, and the Heavenly Gate had never issued a Heavenly Gate Token to him. However, this time, he had actually issued a Heavenly Gate Token to the Xuanqing Sect with the matter of Xiao Yichen. What was he doing?

The token shone with golden light, as if it had become even colder in just a short moment. Yi Chen was worried that the Heavenly Gate would take advantage of his own affairs to attack his Master. He rushed over, but he couldn’t break free from the bone chain. He said in a low voice, “This is only for me, Xiao. I will do it alone. What do you want to do?”

“Bastard! Shut up!”

Venerable Xuanyang seemed to be finally enraged. He did not expect that the Heavenly Gate would actually use the Heavenly Gate Token against Xuanqing Sect today. What exactly did the Heavenly Gate want to do? Now that Senior Brother Sect Leader hasn’t left seclusion, this Heavenly Sect Token …

Will you take it or not?
