Chapter 15

“Did you all think that what happened four hundred years ago was flawless?”

“Half a year ago, who do you think killed the Blood Fiend Ancestor?”

Upon hearing the name Blood Fiend Ancestor, the expressions of several Sect Leaders changed.

Jay smiled slightly, and suddenly a rare high-grade memory stone appeared in his hand. He infused it with spiritual energy, and immediately a mirror image appeared in the air.

In the mirror, the Blood Fiend Ancestor was seen rolling on the ground in a sorry state, a silver long sword resting at his throat, yet he let out a sinister laugh:

“Jay, so what if you kill me?”

“Back then, it was your master who joined forces with other sects to make this deal with me. I got fresh men and women, and they got the Yun Family’s spiritual artifact. If you want to avenge your little lover, you should first–”

“Nonsense!”

Before the Blood Fiend Ancestor could finish, the Jade Pond Peak Master interrupted loudly,

“The Blood Fiend Ancestor wishes nothing more than for our sect alliance to kill each other. His words cannot be trusted!”

“Oh, really? What about them?”

With a flick of Jay’s hand, the scene in the mirror changed to the massacre he had unleashed in the Sword Sect a few days prior.

Everyone watched with wide eyes as the Sword Sect Leader and other Peak Masters were defeated and killed one by one.

Finally, when the Qixia Peak Master and the Cangjing Peak Master had nowhere to escape, they pleaded for mercy:

“Jay, don’t kill us. We are willing to prove Yunxi’s innocence!”

“Four hundred years ago, when Zen Master Du’e first saw the Immeasurable Lotus Lamp refined by Yunxi, he knew this spiritual artifact could help a cultivator break through realms.

“He wanted to use this Lotus Lamp to retreat and break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, but Yunxi said that the world was plagued with demons and pestilence, and she wanted to use the Lotus Lamp to relieve the suffering of the people first.”

The Qixia Peak Master spoke, trembling:

“Zen Master Du’e then deliberately told the Sect Leaders about the Lotus Lamp. All the Sect Leaders wanted to seize this spiritual artifact but were worried that if they acted first, they would be backstabbed by the others.

“It just so happened that the Blood Fiend Ancestor also caught wind of this, and he secretly proposed that the nine sects allow him to take the lives of thousands of men and women.

“Then they could frame Yunxi for this, making it justifiable to seize the artifact and destroy her family.

“Jay, we only learned the truth when Yunxi destroyed the Lotus Lamp, but for the sake of the sect’s reputation, we had no choice–”

After two hoarse screams, the mirror image vanished.

“Gentlemen, do you have anything else to say?”

The faces of the Sect Leaders were grim. After exchanging glances, Bixia raised her chin and said:

“So what? This world respects the strong. If you want to blame someone, blame Yunxi for not being strong enough. She had the skill to refine artifacts but lacked the ability to protect herself!”
