Of course Li Xiuning refused to let it go, and immediately pointed at Wan Zhongyun and said angrily:
"You coward, if you dare to act or not, how can you be considered a cultivator?"
"If you find out later that what you said is not true, what will you do? Will you abandon your cultivation?"
Wan Zhongyun was very thick-skinned, and of course he would not fall for Li Xiuning's clumsy way of provoking enemies. However, he deliberately pretended to be provoked, took out a Foundation Establishment Pill, held it in his hand, and said loudly:
"Those gossiping bastards actually said that I would kill this junior just for a mere Foundation Establishment Pill. Is that really unreasonable?"
"I have my own Foundation Establishment Pill, so there is no need to plot against the younger generation."
"If what I said is false, this Foundation Establishment Pill should be regarded as my apology to Junior Brother Li..."
Zhou Zhifang couldn't help but frown, and her impression of Wan Zhongyun became even worse.
Can things like the Foundation Establishment Pill be taken out casually?
Even if it was just to prove his innocence, he was using too much force, right?
However, whatever he said was like throwing water away. In front of Xiao Yuanshan, he couldn't be too partial to Wan Zhongyun.
He could only glare at the other party angrily, wave his sleeves to stop the other party from saying more extreme words, and turned to Li Xiuning and said:
"Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Wan himself has the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he will definitely not seek anything from that disciple."
"Why don't you go look for it in the Hengjue Mountains? Maybe your disciple is still alive, and then everything will come to light!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd of people watching:
"No need to look for it, I'm still alive!"
Xu Wen, who had taken off his disguise, strode out of the crowd and walked towards the field.
Li Xiuning made a lot of noise, and there were many people watching, so he used Qian Huanmen to hide among them.
Everyone was busy watching the excitement, and they never thought that the master of suffering was hiding next to them.
Since being hunted by Wan Zhongyun, he has been hiding in the ruins of Xishan. Except for a few people such as Yue Linlang, Qin Sanjian, Chu Yin, and others, everyone thought that he was dead long ago.
Seeing the suffering master who was thought to be dead suddenly appear, everyone was stunned. They never expected such a reversal. The eyes they looked at Wan Zhongyun were full of contempt:
It's okay to kill people and seize treasures. It's for the sake of the great road and there's no shame in it.
But with a foundation-building body, to deal with a junior qi-refining junior, and let people escape, it would be really ridiculous!
"You, you, you, you are still...still alive?"
Wan Zhongyun was also extremely surprised.
Xu Wen's body could not be found that day, so he had some doubts, but subconsciously he was unwilling to accept the result and tried his best to find various reasons for himself.
Unexpectedly, the most unacceptable situation emerged.
Xu Wen came back intact and went directly to the confrontation site in front of many people.
"Thanks to Uncle Master, even though I was forced to jump off a cliff by you and was abducted by the Cloud-Crossing Golden Eagle on the way, I was still lucky enough to escape with my life and survive!"
After giving the other party a cold glance, Xu Wen replied loudly.
The fewer people who knew about wingsuit flying, the better. This was the excuse he had discussed with Li Xiuning.
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he saluted Li Xiuning first, then knelt down heavily in front of Xiao Yuanshan and said loudly:
"Xu Wen, an outer disciple of the Zhiyuan Sect, accused Wan Zhongyun, an elder in the sect, of openly pursuing and killing the disciple, intending to seize the foundation-building pill from him!"
"This kind of behavior of disregarding the rules of the family for one's own selfish desires is undoubtedly an evil practice. Please make the decision for me, Master Xiao!"
Using the amplification spell, Xu Wen's voice was very loud and every word was so clear that people for miles around could hear it clearly.
In fact, this matter is not complicated, and the right and wrong are also very clear. It is nothing more than the simplest act of killing people and grabbing treasures for the sake of wealth. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
If the object were changed, no one would even be interested in watching the fun.
It was only because both parties were members of the Zhiyuan Sect, and the Zhiyuan Sect had always strictly prohibited such things, that there was such a big commotion.
Everyone originally thought that Xu Wen must have been killed by Wan Zhongyun, and the Foundation Establishment Pill he took out might have been stolen from Xu Wen.
Unexpectedly, the sufferer was not only fine, but also showed up on the spot, which is a bit interesting...
Xiao Yuanshan is so powerful. His eyes turned to Xu Wen and Li Xiuning, and he immediately understood the cause and effect.
This must be the trick that this pair of masters and disciples set up for Wan Zhongyun. This guy who doesn't give the Xiao family face is doomed this time.
It's painful to hit a drowned dog, and you can also give me a favor by the way, so why not do it.
He chuckled at the moment, changed his previous attitude of not caring about himself, and said calmly:
"Master Nephew Xu, of course it's good that you are safe and sound. But accusing an elder is not a trivial matter. There is no real evidence, so you can't just talk nonsense!"
A smart person can tell the truth at once. Xu Wen immediately took out a photo stone and said loudly:
"I have proof!"
The photo stone is a little trick, similar to the certain broadcast and certain shadow of later generations, which can record the images and sounds around it.
Such small spells cannot record things like spiritual texts, and are not widely used in the world of cultivation. They are very common among high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the mortal world.
When being forced to the mountain peak by Wan Zhongyun, Xu Wen specifically asked him his name and so on, just to record the image with the photo stone.
I just did it just in case at the time, but I didn't expect that I would actually use it today.
Seeing the Shadow Stone, Wan Zhongyun's expression changed, but without giving him time to react, Xu Wen had already activated the Shadow Stone:
Surrounded by clouds flashing with thunder from time to time, Xu Wen was confronting Wan Zhongyun on a lonely mountain peak.
Wan Zhongyunzhi's proud voice was clearly audible, "I'm telling you, I'm going to decide on your Foundation Establishment Pill...".
There was a burst of laughter all around. This sentence, combined with the current situation, actually made people feel an inexplicable sense of joy.
Wan Zhongyun blushed so much that he bled. He stepped forward suddenly, grabbed the shadow stone in Xu Wen's hand, and shouted angrily:
"You little bastard, how dare you frame me..."
Xu Wen didn't move, not worried at all, as if he didn't know he had any malicious intentions.
Xiao Yuanshan, Zhou Zhifang, and Li Xiuning all stepped forward and shouted:
"enough!"
Zhou Zhifang grabbed Wan Zhongyun's hand. It didn't matter how much men stole women from prostitutes in private, he still wanted to save face publicly.
If Wan Zhongyun were to injure Xu Wen again in front of so many people, he would really have to go to the Ghost Killing Platform.
Li Xiuning was much more direct. With just a flick of his finger, Wan Zhongyun snatched the Foundation Establishment Pill away from Wan Zhongyun's hand before he could put it away.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuanshan narrowed his eyes, and a certain guess in his heart suddenly became much clearer.
He has a wide range of sources of information and has already known that Zhang Andao may come to Qingfeng City.
He was still unsure at first, but after seeing Li Xiuning's sudden and radical behavior, he immediately understood that the news was probably true.
No longer hesitating, he waved his sleeves, and the eight blazing sun mirrors flew up together, suppressing thousands of golden lights.
Wan Zhongyun suddenly felt a huge force pressing down on him, his knees softened involuntarily, and he fell to his knees heavily.
