Chapter 209 Dream of a Past Life (15)
No matter what Yu Bin said, Wu You kept insisting that he had bad intentions. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, it was good to plant a seed of doubt.
Just as Bin was furious and the deputy hall master of the Nine Heavens Palace couldn't help but speak up, Yun Zhao said, "Wu You, don't talk nonsense."
She said a few words about Wu You in a mild way, and the deputy hall master naturally couldn't say anything more.
"Palace Master Yun, you should know better than me that the person on the recording stone is a disciple of Lingxu Palace. What else do you have to say?"
“Of course I know,” Yun Zhao turned to Xue Huairui and said, “Vice Palace Master, bring those people from the recording stone over here and have them tell us in front of so many people whether they colluded with the Demon Clan.”
Wu You's sarcastic remarks to Yu Bin were a way to buy time. Yun Zhao had the people who were falsely accused of colluding with the demons rehearse their lines.
Regardless of the facts, insisting that Yu Bin acted out of personal vendetta and settling scores is a way to muddy the waters first.
She sensed a familiar aura on the deputy hall master, but needed some time to investigate what that aura was.
Yun Zhao had a gut feeling that the aura was not friendly.
At the same time, her divine sense transformed into sharp spikes the size of a cow's hair, attacking the deputy hall master's divine sense.
Yun Zhao noticed that the deputy hall master showed no abnormalities, as if he had not been attacked.
Xue Huairui accepted the order, and soon the group of people were brought over.
Yun Zhao made them recount what had happened in detail, and the group chose a leader to step forward.
"Palace Master, we are innocent! We are all righteous cultivators, and we have been taught by you. How could we collude with the demons?"
He recounted what he had done that day, and Yun Zhao then asked him, "Look up and see the person next to the Vice Hall Master. Have you seen him before?"
The leader looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"
Yun Zhao raised an eyebrow. "You know him?"
"Of course I know him," the leader said aggrievedly. "Palace Master, we defeated a Golden Core stage demon beast together during our training, but this person stole it while we were resting!"
"Although my cultivation level is low, I have a spiritual weapon given to me by my master, and I was able to snatch the demon beast back."
"I thought that was the end of it, but who knew..."
The leader said angrily, "It's just a demon beast, yet you dare to slander our Lingxu Palace by accusing us of colluding with the demon race! How despicable!"
Yu Bin was dumbfounded. "What monster? When did I steal your monster?"
The leader insisted that he had stolen their monster, and the others echoed his sentiments, drowning out Yu Bin's voice.
The place was noisy and bustling, even more so than a vegetable market.
Watching this farce unfold, the deputy hall master suddenly felt a headache, not because of their arguing, but because he had a real headache and felt like he was about to collapse.
"Vice Hall Master, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Zhao gestured for Zi Xu to support the Vice Hall Master, and then directly released his divine sense to probe the Vice Hall Master's body.
She found it as soon as she went inside.
A wisp of gray mist lingered in the Vice Hall Master's sea of consciousness, slowly dissipating. Yun Zhao arrived before it vanished, but failed to determine what it was.
She withdrew her divine sense and said to the deputy hall master, "Deputy hall master, I apologize for my abruptness. I have detected a dangerous aura in your sea of consciousness, which is controlling your mind."
"It just disappeared. How are you feeling now?"
The deputy hall master's face was very ugly. He didn't feel uncomfortable, but some unknown objects had entered his sea of consciousness, and his consciousness was being partially controlled without his knowledge.
"Thank you, Palace Master Yun. I'm alright now."
After thanking him, the deputy hall master turned to the others who had come with him and said, "Everyone, I was manipulated just now, which is why I brought you here to attack Lingxu Palace."
"In this way, there are many doubts about the fact that the Lingxu Palace disciples colluded with the demons. I will take the disciple who provided the evidence back to the Nine Heavens Palace, investigate it thoroughly, and then announce it to the entire cultivation world."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
They were all talking about it, with most of them discussing who exactly was capable of controlling the Vice Hall Master of the Nine Heavens Palace.
While they were discussing, Yu Bin's eyes flickered, and taking advantage of the fact that everyone else's attention was on the deputy hall master, he slowly moved to a secluded spot.
"Hey bro, where are you headed?"
Wu You grabbed his shoulder and said with a half-smile, "You think you can just run away after slandering our Lingxu Palace? Do you think my eyes are just for decoration?"
His voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of others. The deputy hall master was even more furious and said, "Yu Bin, you want to run away? Come here right now, or I will interrogate you personally when we get back!"
A look of panic appeared on Yu Bin's face. He tried to break free from Wu You's hand, but he couldn't.
Not to mention that the disciples of the Nine Heavens Palace came to arrest him at the instruction of the deputy palace master. Once he was imprisoned in the Nine Heavens Palace dungeon, he would not be able to get out alive unless he told the truth!
Of course, even if I told the truth, I probably wouldn't survive.
In desperation, Yu Bin shouted to the sky, "Sir, save me!"
Yun Zhao immediately became alert, but instead of anyone coming to save Yu Bin, he witnessed Yu Bin turning into a pool of blood.
"I go!"
Wu You hopped away from that place, only to see that where Yu Bin had turned into blood, the jade tablet had been corroded with a large hole!
You should know that it is one of the hardest stones in the cultivation world. Even cultivators fighting might not be able to shatter the jade plate!
"My God, what happened to Yu Bin? He turned into blood and water like this, and he didn't even scream!"
"Who on earth did this? How could they kill Yu Bin right under the noses of so many powerful figures? Just how capable is that person?"
"I don't know, but one thing is certain."
"what's up?"
"The claim that Lingxu Palace colluded with the demon race is completely fabricated and a slander!"
Wu You scratched his head. "What? I've been slandered? What have they said about me?"
He only heard the second half of the sentence.
Zixu: "..."
On the other side, the deputy hall master apologized to Yun Zhao and said that he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Palace Master Yun, please don't be offended. The Palace Master is in seclusion, and the elders are not involved in worldly affairs. I have been managing the Nine Heavens Palace recently, but I have been taken into custody, so..."
So when he gave the order, he led his men to attack Lingxu Palace. No one dared to stop him, and those who dared to stop him were not there.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I understand the Vice Hall Master. It was all the evil deeds done by the person behind it. I hope the Vice Hall Master will find out the truth as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Lingxu Palace is wronged today, we don't know who will be wronged in the future."
"Furthermore, since that person can control you, Vice Hall Master, he might be able to control others as well. With someone like that plotting against you behind your back, wouldn't the cultivation world be in turmoil?"
The deputy hall master's expression hardened, and he took the matter even more seriously.
It was initially thought that Lingxu Palace had offended someone, but according to Yun Zhao's analysis, the person behind it was definitely not only targeting Lingxu Palace.
Perhaps someone is trying to stir up trouble in the cultivation world!
