Chapter 167: The truth of what happenedTranslated by: La0o9

Edited by: VindiFan#1

Ning Yue Xi also didn’t expect to hear that and glanced at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan was standing behind Bai Hua Fairy, sending his voice to her: “This is the Saint’s will”

“But I didn’t do anything” Ning Yue Xi sent her voice back.

“What do you mean nothing? You saved me. If I had died, who would tell the Saints about the truth?” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Ning Yue Xi was still a bit hesitant.

“However, since you’ve been promoted, you have to treat me to a meal” he added.

“That’s fine” Ning Yue Xi answered.

“A meal you cooked yourself” Gu Qing Shan took it a step further.

“Do you want me to feed you as well?” Ning Yue Xi squints her eyes.

“Ahaha, no need, don’t joke about that” Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight quickly retreated.

“Hmph” Ning Yue Xi scoffed.

Another Ding Yuan General, Ming Hui monk asked: “What secret mission and who did she save that she got so much Merit?”

Wu Xing Wen replied: “The mission that found out the truth about the spirit beasts’ betrayal”

Ming Hui monk showed an expression of understanding and didn’t ask anymore.

The sudden attack of this battle devastated the number of demons and even got their generals to surrender. You could even say this was the battle to end all battles, going above anything that anyone expected.

If Ning Yue Xi really did participate in the mission that found out the truth about the spirit beast, then her being promoted a rank isn’t something to be surprised about.

Wu Xing Wen continued: “Zhao Wu Chaplain Leng Tian Xing, participated in the secret decisive battle mission, contributed to finding out the truth. Because your original Merit was high to begin with, you have enough to be promoted to You Ji General”

Another General!

The crowd was in an uproar.

It must be because of the spirit beasts’ betrayal, only this mission that decided the entire outcome of the decisive battle is enough to let Leng Tian Xing immediately become a General!

Leng Tian Xing nodded at Gu Qing Shan, and Gu Qing Shan also nodded back.

They both didn’t need to say anything, having been through enough together.

Wu Xing Wen voice became smaller and smaller, but still had to say it: “Investigation of Bai Hua Sect’s Gu Qing Shan’s case has finished. The spirit beasts spoke ill of him on purpose while he has not framed to kill a comrade, his original rank is kept”

All the cultivators listened and nodded.

Who would’ve thought, the spirit beasts that have always been known for being loyal and truthful would lie, and would even betray them?

This matter was too much outside of everyone’s expectation and Gu Qing Shan himself was simply unlucky. However, after this battle, his reputation has been restored to what it was before.

Wu Xing Wen as also silently regretting.

After spending so much effort, Gu Qing Shan is still unharmed, not to mention he has personally offended Bai Hua Fairy, so this was a very unprofitable venture.

Even though he was being influenced by a Tianma, he wasn’t completely clean either.

From now on, he has to be more careful.

Suddenly, someone yelled out: “I don’t believe it! He must have lied!”

Everyone looked towards the voice to see it was a Spirit Beast sect’s adolescence disciple.

The boy was Li Chu Chen’s little brother, Li De Wen.

Li De Wen angrily pointed at Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Do you dare to accept a Soul Reading?”

The crowd was noisy.

The spirit beasts have been proven to be the traitors of humanity, Gu Qing Shan himself was a Saint’s direct disciple, and Bai Hua Fairy did not look the least bit happy right now.

Under such circumstances, Li De Wen still dared to jump out like that, is he tired of living?

Wu Xing Wen was silently cursing him.

This type of hot-headed youngster is easy to provoke and take advantage of, but when the situation changes, they’re also the most troublesome type to clean up after.

Sure enough, Bai Hua Fairy asked him

“Why do you want to have him go through Soul Reading?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

“He killed my brother!”

Under the scrutinizing eyes of the Saint, Li De Wen’s body shook, but still declared very confidently.

Both Spirit Beast sect’s master and Elder had to go to bring him back.

But Bai Hua Fairy had already raised her hand then slowly lowered it, signaling them to stop.

“No need, let him stand there, this Saint was already about to ask about this” Xie Dao Ling spoke.

Oh no, everyone in Spirit Beast sect felt a shiver down their spine at the same time.

“It’s you! You spouted false words wanting to fool this General, according to military law, you should be executed!” Wu Xing Wen took out a talisman and was about to do it.

“I said. To let him stand there” Xie Dao Ling coldly spoke.

Wu Xing Wen gritted his teeth, but didn’t dare to do anything reckless. He held the talisman in his hand tight, then finally pulled back.

The talisman was already scrunched up very badly.

“He killed your brother because your brother disobeyed orders” Xie Dao Ling stared at Li De Wen and spoke.

“But who can prove that? If he has wicked thoughts while doing it, how would anyone know?” Li De Wen insisted.

“He has gone through Heart Appraisal, the cultivators of Yao Guang sect and Heaven’s Limit sect has also went through Heart Appraisal. As far as the regulations of our humanity’s military goes, he has been proven innocent” Xie Dao Ling continued.

“That can’t be true, it just can’t! General Wu told me, he definitely lied!” Li De Wen still insisted without letting go.

As soon as he said so, the whole crowd went into an uproar.

“YOU DARE TO INVOLVE ME IN THIS!” Wu Xing Went instantly went mad and threw out a talisman.

“Stop!”

“General, please be calm!” the guard cultivators all shouted.

“General Wu!?” the boy opened his eyes wide, looking at Wu Xing Wen in disbelief.

“Stop your hand!” Spirit Beast sect’s master instantly jumped out, blocking in front of the boy.

In that moment, the entire scene became chaos.

Yet Bai Hua Fairy sat still and didn’t move one bit, only silently watched what ensued.

However, Xuanyuan Tianzun who was sitting next to her couldn’t sit still and grabbed the air. The talisman that was flying towards the boy instantly stopped and flew into his hand instead.

“Hopeless disciple, what are you doing!” He shouted.

Wu Xing Wen tried to stay strong-headed, and yelled back in anger: “Shifu, he’s only a mere soldier, yet he dared to badmouth me in front of everyone”

“He’s only a mere soldier, yet he dares to badmouth you?” Xuanyuan Tianzun repeated his words one by one.

The look in his eyes as he looked at this disciple contained nothing but disappointment.

Xuanyuan Tianzun sighed, then order: “Men, come. Heart Appraisal”

Bai Hua Fairy stayed silent.

Two cultivators went and stood opposite of Wu Xing Wen.

They both clasped their fists: “The Saint has ordered, please pardon us General”

Wu Xing Wen half-opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a thing.

He can’t disobey Shifu’s orders, but if the truth gets out…

The two cultivators waited for a bit, exchanged looks, then one of them spoke: “General, please tell us everything you know of this matter from start to finish, so that we can get this over with”

“I” Wu Xing Wen started to speak, “felt that Li Chu Chen’s death was a bit strange”

Both cultivators nodded.

Wu Xing Wen continued: “So I had some people go call people from Spirit Beast sect, to ask about Li Chu Chen’s spirit beast bags, and trusted the words of the spirit beasts”

They nodded again.

Wu Xing Wen: “Then I called Gu Qing Shan and the people of Spirit Beast sect over to have them cross-check each other’s stories”

Both cultivators shook their heads.

The look in their eyes when looking at Wu Xing Wen changed.

One of them turned to the three Saints and reported: “The general is lying”

Xuanyuan Tianzun’s face was heavy as water.

He sighed, then asked: “Disciple of mine, do you know why Tianma was able to get into your Thought Sea, yet Gong Sun Zhi and Ming Hui was fine without any problems?”

“I don’t know” Wu Xing Wen answered.

“Because you had malice, you wanted to harm another person for unjust reasons. When this malice became an obsession, you gave the Tianma an opening into your mind”

“Despite being one of three Ding Yuan Generals of humanity, you showed an opening for the Tianma, if you weren’t discovered so fast, you would’ve caused the death not just yourself, but many more of your fellow cultivators”

Xuanyuan Tianzun shook his head as he spoke.
