Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the trio arrived at the Great Hall, it was already filled, the Nascent Soul Elders of each peak were already present. Lonemoon scanned the crowd, Shu Yi and Two Bucks Zuo were amongst them too, they were standing in the middle of the Great Hall, seems like something had happened, the atmosphere was a little solemn. The naive Two Bucks Zuo who was always good tempered wore a rare furious look now.

"Greetings Uncle-Master." Seeing them walk in, everyone bowed. However, an unfamiliar Nascent Soul on the left did not even budge, instead, he turned his head the other way with a sneer, his eyes filled with displeasure and anger.

Yi Qing had also sensed that the atmosphere was a slightly off, but did not bother and walked directly to the only seat at the top. He then habitually stepped to the side and let Shen Ying who was behind him take the seat while he stood on her right and Lonemoon took the left.

Maybe because the situation was pressing, everyone wasn't bothered by these details, instead Tian Yi who was by the side looked towards Lonemoon and suddenly said, "Don't worry Brother Lonemoon, I have absolute faith in your character!"

"..." Lonemoon was confused, what did that mean?

Were they called here, not only because there were new clues, but by the looks of it, it even involved them?

"Uncle-Master Yi Qing." Sect Master Yu Luan then stood up and said, "We requested for Uncle-Master to come over, because we have something we wanted to clarify with you. That day when Uncle-Master headed to Yuan Yang City to rid the fiend, when you were pursuing the fiendish cultivator Zhong Yi, did you find anything unusual about him?"

Yi Qing turned towards him and said to a frown, "What do you mean by unusual?"

"It's..." A trace of hesitation flashed across Yu Luan's face, as if he did not know how to answer to that. He took a while before asking with gritted teeth, "Is Uncle-Master sure that the fiendish cultivator is really... dead?"

"Of course!" Yi Qing's frown deepened as he continued to answer in a deep voice. "The body of that fiendish cultivator was handled by Elder Shu Yuan." When he finished, he looked towards Shu Yuan who was seated on the right side.

"That's right!" Shu Yuan also stood up and nodded. "I can bear witness to that, after Uncle-Master Yi Qing killed that fiendish cultivator, he notified me to rush over that night, that fiendish cultivator is dead, I was the one to dispose of his body using a blazing fire, my aim was to avoid having other fiendish cultivators using the Nascent Soul body to do evil."

"Hmph! Who knows if the one who died was Zhong Yi or not?" The Nascent Soul Perfected One on the left chimed in suddenly with some disdain.

They had yet to speak up but Two Bucks Zuo grew restless, seeming like he had held himself back for a long time. He said with cupped fists, "Perfected Jing Yuan, that person was Zhong Yi indeed, it wasn't just me, Senior Sister Shu saw it too!"

Shu Yi faltered for a moment and hurriedly said with a flustered look. "I... I don't know either, after we bumped into that fiendish cultivator on accident, Supremacy instructed us to return to the city quickly, I did not think too much of it and left. As for what happened after that, I have absolutely no idea."

"Senior Sister Shu!" Zuo Shuming looked at her in disbelief, his face contorting with rage. "If it wasn't for Supremacy who rushed over in time after sensing the fiendish cultivator, you and I would have died in his hands. I saw with my two eyes that the fiendish cultivator was dead, could that have been fake?"
