NFBE Chapter 125 Slander Without Evidence
Chapter 125 Slander Without Evidence
Xie Wanning was fast asleep in the secret realm when she heard the sound of swords clashing.
The sound was shrill and piercing, instantly dispelling her drowsiness.
When she opened her eyes, Song Huai'an, Si Jinchuan, and Qin Muyang were fighting again. Jiang Ci and Ye Qianqian were hiding in a corner watching, while Zhong Yingxiu was still fast asleep.
"Stop making noise!" Xie Wanning roared, picked up the Luoze Sword and flew over. Instead of fighting the three people head-on, she skillfully used the sword to take away their tokens.
Song Huai'an and the other two were instantly teleported away.
Then, holding the sword, she looked at Ye Qianqian and Jiang Ci, and coldly said, "Hand it over yourselves, or shall I take it from you?"
Ye Qianqian glared at Xie Wanning angrily, threw the token from her waist to her, and Jiang Ci silently placed the token on the ground.
The two were also taken away by the teleportation array.
Xie Wanning sighed in exasperation, walked over to Zhong Yingxiu, and snatched her token.
Zhong Yingxiu, who was fast asleep, was thus teleported away.
Xie Wanning took out a token from her storage bag, on which were clearly written three large characters: "Xu Xiaoli".
Xie Wanning gave a bitter smile and muttered to herself, "I suppose this identity can't be kept a secret for long?"
When Qin Muyang and the others came to help "Xu Xiaoli" take revenge, "Xu Xiaoli's" identity was about to be exposed. This violated the agreement between Xie Wanning and the sect leader of Gufeng Sect. It is likely that once they leave the secret realm, there will be a series of troubles.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanning crushed the token in her hand and was instantly teleported outside the secret realm.
Song Huai'an, Qin Muyang, and others appeared one after another on the teleportation array. Each time someone appeared, the crowd would gasp in surprise until Xie Wanning finally appeared, at which point the gasps stopped.
Xie Wanning didn't care at all. She saw her junior brothers and sisters waving at her from the crowd, while Lin Xuanjin looked at her gently from the high platform.
"All disciples have returned. The Qingyun Sect Leader will announce the results," Elder Li, acting as the referee, shouted.
Yan Ze encountered flying high in the sky, his voice amplified by spiritual power, his clear and cool voice reaching everyone's ears.
"The group competition of the sect competition has ended. The first place is Tianji Pavilion, the second place is Qingyun Sect, and the third place is Muxue Sect."
The crowd celebrated loudly:
"Qingyun Sect, you are the strongest!"
"Go Tianji Pavilion!"
……
The disciples of the Twilight Snow Sect were outnumbered and outmatched; even though they tried their best to speak, they could not drown out the voices of the disciples from other sects.
Xie Wanning smiled dismissively.
Since other sects aren't celebrating for the Twilight Snow Sect, then none of the other sects should celebrate either.
She took out the "Thunderclap Ear" from her storage bag and shouted, "The Twilight Snow Sect is the best!"
For a moment, only Xie Wanning's voice could be heard in the entire room.
The sect disciples who had been cheering all turned their gazes to Xie Wanning, some with anger, some with disdain, and a cacophony of accusations rose and fell:
"Xu Weilin, isn't it too unfair that you used a magic array to trap Senior Brother Song and the others, and then let the other disciples of the Twilight Snow Sect pick up the scraps?"
"Yeah, can't you just have a fair and square match? Why resort to such underhanded tactics?"
“Without your interference, Senior Brother Song and the others could have obtained more tokens, instead of only getting second place.”
……
Xie Wanning glanced disdainfully at those who were criticizing her, as if she could see the scene from her previous life where the sanctimonious Qingyun Sect disciples criticized her indiscriminately.
Unfortunately, times have changed.
She picked up the megaphone and retorted loudly, "What's wrong? What's wrong? This isn't fair!"
"I used the Inner Demon Array and the Mantra Array. Do these two arrays violate the competition rules? No! I didn't even harm the other disciples' bodies, so I used legitimate means to compete, and I wasn't insidious at all."
"The rankings were all fairly contested. I didn't break any rules, nor did I use any underhanded tactics. I got third place based on my own ability. As for the rankings of the others, what do they have to do with me? Why don't you argue with them a bit?"
"What's the point of you sect disciples just talking nonsense? Why don't you spar with me?"
Xie Wanning's voice crushed the accusations of everyone present. When Luo Zejian flew out, the group of disciples who seemed to hate evil like rats in a gutter hid and stopped making a sound.
Xie Wan Ning put down the megaphone with satisfaction, then turned around and saw Song Huai An's face, which was turning blue with anger.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I didn't steal your first place, why are you glaring at me! If you want to look, look at him." With that, Xie Wanning pointed at Qin Muyang.
Qin Muyang looked at Xie Wanning with a wry smile and a helpless expression.
At this moment, Elder Li, acting as the referee, led his guards and disciples toward Xie Wanning with a serious expression. His tone was sharp: "Xu Weilin, you entered the secret realm by concealing your identity, which violated the rules of the competition. We are going to take you for questioning."
Suddenly, someone excitedly shouted from the once deathly silent sect disciples: "Hehe, they just said they would have a fair and square competition, but they still broke the rules."
More people joined in the commotion.
Xie Wan's gaze darkened, and she asked, "May I ask, Elder, do you have any evidence to prove that I concealed my identity?"
“Only those with tokens can enter the secret realm. You cannot enter without a token. Therefore, you must have disguised yourself as someone else to enter the secret realm,” the elder said decisively.
"Oh? So there's no evidence? Then what makes you accuse me of concealing my identity?" Xie Wanning spread her hands, speaking nonchalantly.
“I haven’t hidden my identity. Just come back with me, and I’ll investigate for you.” The elder’s tone was very stern.
Xie Wanning was no longer afraid. This elder was just putting on a show of force. He dared to accuse her even though he had no evidence. He said he would investigate the evidence, but wasn't he just going to take her to the Department of Punishments for interrogation?
She took a step back and shook her head: "Unless the elder produces evidence himself, I can only assume that the elder is going to take me to the Punishment Division of Qingyun Sect as a 'guest'. I am a disciple of Muxue Sect, and I am your guest. Is this Qingyun Sect's unique way of treating guests? As expected of the number one sect in the cultivation world, even the way they treat guests from outside is so ingenious."
The elder's face turned red with anger. He released his aura, but it was blocked by Xie Wanning's defensive magic artifact.
"Then how did you enter the secret realm?" Yan Ze's voice came from above.
Xie Wanning lowered her head, took a deep breath, and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra before she could look up again and see the master who had killed her twice.
"Sect Leader Yan, I entered the secret realm using a teleportation talisman," Xie Wanning said, forcing a smile, her expression somewhat stiff.
Yan Ze looked Xu Weilin up and down suspiciously, and said coldly, "Then let me see the teleportation talisman."
Xie Wanning didn't have a suitable teleportation talisman, but in order to cover up her lie, she could only take out a blank talisman paper and start drawing talismans.
The secret realms of the Qingyun Sect are all high-level secret realms, and they are personally protected by the sect leader. To enter a secret realm silently, one can only use a ninth-grade teleportation talisman.
However, with Xie Wanning's current cultivation level, it is almost impossible for her to draw a ninth-grade teleportation talisman, but an eighth-grade teleportation talisman is a sure thing.
However, when Yan Ze's cold gaze fell on Xie Wan Ning, she felt that familiar and terrifying sense of oppression again after three years.
We had no choice but to force them to do it!
Xie Wanning held a pen and, under everyone's watchful eyes, laboriously drew a teleportation talisman. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her spiritual energy rapidly dissipated, causing her hand movements to slow down more and more.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood sprayed onto the talisman, and her spiritual power was completely exhausted.
