After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Chapter 550 Interrogation (Part )

As soon as Elder Wang stepped into the meeting hall, he found that all the inner sect elders of Yunshan Sect had arrived in the hall. Sect Master Mu was sitting in the center of the high platform, with two supreme elders sitting on his left and right.

Seeing such a scene, Elder Wang's heart sank a little bit. This scene of impending storm gave him an ominous premonition.

Under the gazes of everyone present, he pretended to be calm and walked in front of Sect Leader Mu and bowed. However, when he glanced at Pei Yun's figure, his inner uneasiness turned into hatred, and he looked at Pei Yun with a sinister look.

"Master, I wonder why you called me here today?" Elder Wang asked casually.

Sect Master Mu straightened his back, his face solemn, and said sternly, "Wang Shou, someone has accused you of being a demon clan spy, leaking our plans during the Chaomu Valley operation, resulting in heavy casualties for the sect. What do you have to say?"

As expected, what was supposed to come finally came. Elder Wang's heart trembled, but he pretended to be surprised. He suddenly looked up at the elders around him:

"Sect Master, who on earth could possibly... frame me like this?! During this Chaomu Valley operation, I bravely fought the enemy and protected my disciples, yet I suffered such severe internal injuries as a result. This, this... I am being wronged!"

He began to choke up as he spoke, and the elders around him, who were unaware of the situation, couldn't help but look at him with sympathy and whispered to each other—

"...When I was in the Flame Spirit Sect that day, I fought against the enemy together with Elder Wang. Elder Wang really did not care about his own safety and killed many demons..."

"Yes! The third disciple on my peak was saved by Elder Wang. To say he was a demon clan traitor is too far-fetched!"

Bai Hao, who was sitting in the back corner, couldn't help but whisper in Zhang Su's ear, "Master, the last time you and I treated Elder Wang, he was indeed seriously injured. Could we have made a mistake?"

Zhang Su pursed her lips and said nothing, but just looked at Pei Yun who was sitting diagonally opposite.

She knew that it was Pei Yun who identified Elder Wang. She and Pei Yun had always had a good relationship, and she knew in her heart that he would not make random accusations.

At this time, Luo Rufeng walked out from the side, glanced at Elder Wang indifferently, and saluted:

"Sect Master, it was Wang Shou who was identified by Wang Xue'er on Lingjian Peak. She once pretended to join the demon clan to obtain information for us. This time, she revealed the location of the demon cave to Elder Pei and me. Why not invite her in to confront Wang Shou on the spot..."

"Okay! Let Wang Xueer enter the hall." Sect Master Mu nodded in agreement.

After a while, Wang Xueer walked into the hall trembling with fear and said, "Disciple Wang Xueer greets the Sect Master, the Supreme Elder, and all the elders..."

When Elder Wang saw Wang Xueer appear, his lowered eyes flashed slightly, and his hands under his sleeves clenched slightly into fists.

"Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Wang Xue'er slipped away from Elder Wang without a trace. "...I entered the Chaomu Valley with the other disciples of Ling Jianfeng. After entering, we encountered a large number of demons. I followed the instructions of the witch and deliberately separated from the others, heading alone to the place she had agreed to meet me. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to reach the teleportation array outside the demon cave, I saw a figure talking to the witch and then hurriedly leaving. I was in the jungle not far away at the time, and luckily escaped being discovered by this person..."

"Is the one you saw Elder Wang?" asked Sect Master Mu.

"This... I only saw that person wearing clothes with the Huolianfeng mark and a mask on his face. I didn't get a glimpse of his face..."

In front of so many people, Wang Xueer didn't dare to exaggerate.

Sect Leader Mu looked at Elder Wang and said, "Wang Shou, what do you want to say?"

Wang Shou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with an aggrieved expression on his face:

"Sect Master, this disciple only saw that the demon clan's spy was wearing clothes with the Huo Lianfeng mark. Can he infer that I am colluding with the demon clan based on this alone? This is too ridiculous! Everyone in Huo Lianfeng wears clothes with the Huo Lianfeng mark. Why do they assume it is me? I wonder if someone is deliberately framing me, Huo Lianfeng..."

He turned around and looked at Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun with undisguised contempt. "Elder Luo, with just this little evidence, you want to pin the crime of being a demon clan traitor on me. This is not good! Wang Xue'er is from Lingjian Peak, and she is married to your disciple Luo Qi. How can you know that she didn't say this on purpose..."

"... Pei Yun, you killed my son years ago, and now you're letting your Taoist partner frame me. What should I do so that you can let Huo Lianfeng and I go..."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion at the scene, and the inner sect elders present looked at Elder Wang and Pei Yun with different expressions.

Pei Yun smiled calmly, stood up, and walked to Wang Shou. "Elder Wang, how and why did your son Wang He die? You know best, and most of the elders present also know that those who do evil will eventually perish."

She angrily shouted, "Since the Sect Master severely punished you and Huo Lianfeng back then, let's let this matter go. I won't hold on to it. But now, you're even more daring and reckless than your son. You've even dared to collude with the demons, causing the tragic deaths of so many of my Yunshan Sect's disciples and elders in Chaomu Valley. Don't even think about leaving this hall today!"

Although Pei Yun did not release any pressure, the aura emanating from his body still made Wang Shou's legs go weak in an instant and he fell to the ground.

He tried his best to conceal his inner panic, sweat dripping down his forehead, his face grim, and he didn't forget to sow discord:

"Pei Yun, you want to convict me based solely on Wang Xueer's words. How can you convince the elders present here? The Yunshan Sect doesn't belong to you alone. The two Supreme Elders are still here!"

"Very well then! Today I will make sure you accept your defeat sincerely and die with a clear conscience!"

Pei Yun looked at the two leaders below the platform and saluted, "Seniors, please take action."

Wang Shou followed her gaze and noticed the two strange men. Since he did not attend Pei Yun's Nascent Soul Ceremony, he naturally did not know Qin Gu, let alone Chen Lingxi. But only then did he realize that the aura of these two men was unfathomable. When his eyes met each other, his soul felt trembling.

What shocked him even more was that after Pei Yun finished speaking, everyone, including the two supreme elders, stood up and bowed respectfully to the two men.

Chen Lingxi, who had been watching the show with great interest, stood up and walked to Pei Yun's side. He took out a treasure similar to the Bagua mirror from his sleeve and said with a faint smile:

"...Everyone, this treasure is a magical instrument I refined a few years ago. It's called the Mirror of Truth. Anyone who is illuminated by it will speak the truth. Elder of the Yunshan Sect, since you say you're not a demon clan spy, do you dare to give it a try?"

Hearing this, everyone became excited and looked at the magic weapon in Chen Lingxi's hand, especially Elder Xu from the Magical Weapon Hall, whose eyes were shining and he wanted to go forward and take the magic weapon to study it.

Wang Shou's body trembled, his heart in a panic: "Master, these two are in cahoots with Pei Yun. How do I know if the treasure in his hand is the Mirror of Truth or a magical tool that controls consciousness? This, this is unbelievable!"

"How dare you!" Sect Master Mu shouted, "This is Venerable Lingxi from Lingxi Mountain, a great master of our Dao Sect. How can we tolerate your reckless words?"

"What?!" Wang Shou was shocked and looked up at Chen Lingxi and Pei Yun in front of him in disbelief. He never thought that Pei Yun could invite such a legendary figure.

Qin Gu, who was sitting not far away, looked at Wang Shou calmly and said, "...I think it would be better to search his soul directly. This is the most convenient and simple way."

Wang Shou was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He only glanced at Qin Gu, and his chest seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword. He clutched the clothes on his chest and dared not look at the other person directly.

"Wang Shou!" Ling Zongyang said, "If you continue to shirk responsibility like this, I will punish you according to the laws of the Yunshan Sect..."

Wang Shou forced himself to calm down, suppressing his inner panic, and gritted his teeth, "I am willing to accept the trial of the Mirror of Truth."
