Chapter 61: Could he have been enchanted by her as well?

The Wujian Tower had borne this infamous reputation for so long, and now it was finally being vindicated, all thanks to their new leader!

The elder’s expression changed, his eyes filled with malice, and he suddenly spoke in a deep voice:

“Enough! Who knows if this is not a fabrication by your Wujian Tower to clear your name! Take the matter of the Wuling Sect, for example. As far as I know, there was no seizure of the Xu family’s property. The sudden death of the Xu family was due to an evil treasure they accidentally obtained, which drained their vital essence. It had nothing to do with the Wuling Sect!”

“The elder questioning you is surnamed Wen. The sect leader of the Wuling Sect, Wen Dexiong, is his younger brother. He is now one of the elders of the Cultivator Alliance.”

A deep and pleasant voice echoed in Feng Siyue’s mind.

She looked towards Di Xuan Shang and a pleasant arc formed at the corner of her mouth.

So, this old man is so agitated because the people killed by the Wujian Tower were his younger brother and niece. He wants to settle a personal vendetta.

She said loudly, “The Wujian Token is forged from Chaos Stone, which contains the rules of heaven and earth. When the soul of a killed person is absorbed into it, their evil deeds automatically appear on the token. Elder Wen, do you think even the rules of heaven and earth can be faked?”

Chaos Stone!

The crowd was shocked. The token of the Wujian Tower was actually forged from the legendary Chaos Stone!

Legend has it that Chaos Stone is a heavenly-grade material for refining artifacts. When Pangu created the world, twelve pieces of Chaos Stone were scattered across various continents.

Adding Chaos Stone to the forging process of an artifact can elevate it by several grades.

The disciples and elders of the Seven Treasures Pavilion looked enviously at the token in Feng Siyue’s hand. If they could use it for refining artifacts, they could forge an unparalleled treasure and become famous throughout the continent!

Such top-tier material, and it was actually used to make a token. What a waste!

Elder Wen snorted, “No one has ever seen Chaos Stone. You can say whatever you want!”

“Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter. If you really doubt the truth of these events, go and investigate. For the matter you just mentioned about the Jin Feng Sect, there are still surviving members of the Xu family who can tell you the truth.”

“No need to investigate. I am very clear about this matter. It is obvious that your Wujian Tower killed innocent people and then framed them with heinous crimes! The remnants of the Wujian Tower deserve to die!”

Elder Wen’s eyes were fierce, signaling the ten experts around him to act immediately, lest Feng Siyue’s mouth come up with more excuses.

Feng Siyue remained calm and unhurried, flexing her wrists. If they wouldn’t let her speak, she would just knock these people down first.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, a voice came from below the stage, and by the time the voice fell, the person was already on stage.

Feng Siyue looked at the flying Second Prince with surprise, wondering if he, like Elder Wen, had come to denounce her.

The experts from the Cultivator Alliance immediately stopped. They all recognized the Second Prince. Even a powerful force like the Cultivator Alliance wouldn’t dare to offend a prince of the Shengyuan Empire.

Under Feng Siyue’s puzzled gaze, the Second Prince smiled at her and said, “You are Han Yue, right? I am the Second Prince of the Shengyuan Empire, Baili Xuanyuan.”

Feng Siyue didn’t sense any malice from him and nodded.

Baili Xuanyuan turned to Elder Wen and said, “I came up here to speak for Miss Han Yue. As it happens, I am familiar with the matter of the Wuling Sect. It was one of my secret guards who commissioned the Wujian Tower to kill Wen Ping and Zhang Luo.”

What a coincidence, Feng Siyue thought, somewhat surprised.

Elder Wen’s face darkened, and he suppressed his anger as he said, “I wonder what deep grudge your secret guard had with them to warrant such a ruthless act?”

“My secret guard is simply someone who received kindness from the Xu family and knows how to repay it. Years ago, Miss Xu suddenly died after marrying Zhang Luo, and her parents passed away in the same manner,” Baili Xuanyuan replied, his voice clear and resolute.

“Through investigation, my secret guard discovered that they did not die from an evil artifact draining their vital essence, as Elder Wen claimed, but from poisoning. The secret guard even found the person who made the poison for Wen Ping and Zhang Luo, clearly indicating their involvement. The evidence is irrefutable!”

He looked at Elder Wen and said, “I do not favor anyone. I only speak with facts.”

Elder Wen’s face twisted, and he was speechless for a long while.

The audience below naturally believed the Second Prince’s words. He was a prince of the Shengyuan Empire; how could he lie in public?

Moreover, he was the adoptive brother of Feng Wanqing. If he were to help, it should be her, not her opponent. Clearly, he was a person who stood by the truth, not by family ties, and what he said were facts.

It seemed that the Wujian Tower was not as terrifying as the rumors suggested.

Why would the Second Prince help that woman!

Feng Wanqing, standing in a corner of the field, clenched her teeth in fury, her fists making cracking sounds.

It felt like a betrayal by someone close to her. Now, it was clear to everyone that Han Yue was her rival. Just when Han Yue was about to be eliminated by the experts sent by Elder Wen, she was looking forward to finally getting some relief.

But her adoptive brother, the Second Prince, had come out to speak in favor of her opponent, helping her escape a life-threatening situation!

How could she remain calm?

She had been closest to the Second Prince since childhood, and now he was siding with an outsider!

Could he have been enchanted by the witch Han Yue as well?

Elder Wen had nothing to say. He was eager to kill Feng Siyue without hesitation, but he couldn’t ignore the bigger picture. He received a telepathic message from the Vice Principal and narrowed his sinister gaze. Then, he smiled at Baili Xuanyuan and said, “Since you, the Second Prince, have spoken, there must be a misunderstanding. I will send people to thoroughly investigate the situation. Now, it’s time for the final match of the day. If you are interested, you are welcome to watch.”

“Of course. I heard from the audience just now that Miss Han Yue is also a disciple of the Guidao Secret Sect. Participating in four matches in a day, I’m sure the upcoming match will be even more exciting. Since I’m here, I naturally want to watch,” Baili Xuanyuan said with a warm and gentle smile, his eyes always on Feng Siyue.

For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with this woman, as if he had seen her somewhere before. However, when he searched his memory, there was no trace of her.

If only he could lift her veil to take a look.

The Second Prince thought to himself.

“Brother, Wanqing is feeling unwell. Can you escort her back to the dormitory?”

Feng Wanqing suddenly ran over and affectionately took Baili Xuanyuan’s arm.

She was afraid that something might go wrong in the upcoming match, so she needed to get Baili Xuanyuan away.

“Where are you feeling unwell? Were you injured just now?”

Feng Wanqing nodded, saying she might have suffered internal injuries.

Baili Xuanyuan was still very concerned about Feng Wanqing. Hearing that she might have internal injuries, he immediately agreed to escort her back to the dormitory for treatment.
