Chapter 213 Participation of Elders from Various Families
First, a powerful enemy came to the door, claiming that he had a grudge against the Shangguan family and wanted to exterminate them. Then, the disciples of the Shangguan family started an internal fight, and the direct descendants even drew their swords to kill the disciples of the inner courtyard.
For the Shangguan family, which is famous in the Tianyan Continent, this is simply a joke.
Cultivators are naturally quick-witted and have sharp ears and eyes. Furthermore, years of cultivation are very boring. Seeing that the Shangguan family, the number one formation family in the world of cultivation, has such a lively event to watch, they naturally don't want to miss it.
It would be great if the Shangguan family could make a big move for this.
The disciples and elders of the other three families were enjoying the show with great interest. Lin Xia's words were like a thunderclap that set off a chorus of laughter. For a moment, everyone couldn't believe their ears.
Is this something they can listen to?
Even the disciples of the Shangguan family were shocked and looked at Lin Xia in disbelief.
What's going on? What does Master Lin Dan mean?
Did the head of the family dig up the spiritual root seeds of Master Lin Dan's mother and give them to Senior Sister Yanxi? But wasn't Senior Sister Yanxi born with a fire spiritual root?
Could it be that it wasn't her own spiritual root?! How could it be?
What kind of evil magic is this?
At first, all the disciples were shocked, but after they reacted, they realized that the dignified Shangguan family was actually using evil magic.
How many times has this evil magic been used? Is Master Lin Dan's mother not the only victim?
For a moment, not only the disciples of other families, but even the disciples of the Shangguan family began to panic.
Some disciples even began to recall the disciples around them and other cultivators they knew, to see if there were any whose cultivation had been inexplicably destroyed, or even if their whereabouts were unknown.
I’m afraid these people have also fallen victim to the Shangguan family’s evil hands, right?
The eyes of the disciples from the other three families looking towards the Shangguan family changed almost immediately, filled with wariness and disgust.
The elder, Shangguan Su, who had originally wanted to step forward to help Shangguan Qian and the others, was so shocked by this series of unexpected events that he stopped in his tracks. Seeing this, he quickly shouted, "You youngster, stop talking nonsense and destroying the reputation of our Shangguan family!"
As he spoke, he was about to attack Lin Xia, attempting to kill her with one blow and silence her, but he was blocked by Su Linghan's fierce outburst.
At this time, the elders of the other three families, including Ji Changyuan, who were originally watching the fun, also stood up.
These elders had all participated in the eradication of the Soul-Devouring Sect to some extent, and they knew very well that the Shangguan family had taken in Zhang Lihua, who had deserted the Soul-Devouring Sect and joined the light. She was the only surviving disciple of the Soul-Devouring Sect.
To put it nicely, it was a move away from darkness to light, but many cultivators who had participated in the eradication of the Soul-Devouring Sect back then saw clearly that Zhang Lihua simply saw that the Soul-Devouring Sect was about to collapse, and was simply looking for a way out for herself in advance. To put it bluntly, she was a traitor who betrayed the sect.
Although the Soul-Devouring Sect is a notorious sect of independent cultivators in the Tianyan Continent, these people still look down on Zhang Lihua's actions.
Isn't this just like eating the Soul Devouring Sect's food, then getting a better place, and then turning around to smash the Soul Devouring Sect's bowl? A true villain's behavior!
However, at that time, Zhang Lihua and Shangguan Xiong's only son fell in love, and with the Shangguan family's support, the cultivators from various families simply gave face to the Shangguan family.
Therefore, Zhang Lihua gained a good reputation for abandoning evil and turning to good, and entered the Shangguan family with great fanfare.
Now that this has happened, the elders of the other three families can't help but think more about it. Was it possible that the Shangguan family had already planned to use the evil magic of the Soul-Devouring Sect to strengthen themselves?
If they remembered correctly, it was the Shangguan family who first proposed to wipe out the Soul-Devouring Sect, right?
If this matter is really as they guessed, then after so many years, the number of innocent souls who died at the hands of the Shangguan family must have been countless, right?
"Shangguan Su, let this female cultivator explain clearly. This matter concerns the entire Tianyan Continent. You, the Shangguan family, must give us an explanation as to whether you did it or not!" Ji Changyuan's figure flashed and landed in front of Lin Xia and Su Linghan. It was obvious that he did not intend to give the Shangguan family a chance to get away with it.
Ji Changyuan is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and is also the cultivator with the highest cultivation level in the field. With Ji Changyuan around, not only Shangguan Yanxi, but also Shangguan Su is temporarily unable to attack Lin Xia.
Shangguan Su was extremely angry, but Feixian Island was originally the territory of the Ji family, and Yaoguang City was the base camp of the Ji family. There were also leaders of other families eyeing them, so he had to bow his head. He knew that today their Shangguan family had to come up with a reasonable reason.
However, no matter what, his Shangguan family could not admit this matter, even if they admitted to annihilating the entire Yun family.
If he admitted to this matter, his Shangguan family would become a laughing stock in the Tianyan Continent and would be regarded as a cult. In the future, they would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Tianyan Continent, let alone become the number one formation family.
Fortunately, because of Lin Xia's previous abnormal behavior in the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family had already conducted an investigation on Lin Xia. Shangguan Su happened to be involved in it and had some understanding of Lin Xia. At this moment, he could come up with excuses easily.
Before Ji Changyuan could let Lin Xia speak, Shangguan Su had already spoken in defense, "Brother Changyuan, don't listen to this female cultivator's nonsense. My Shangguan family is honest and upright. How could we do such a thing? This female cultivator, for some unknown reason, deliberately entered my Shangguan family and is now spreading alarmist rhetoric in front of other families, ruining my Shangguan family's reputation."
After a pause, Shangguan Su looked at Lin Xia with a more stern look in his eyes. "I'm afraid you're trying to sow discord between my Shangguan family and other families so you can take revenge on someone. You know, Zhang Lihua was injured after giving birth to Yan Xi and passed away early."
The direction of this statement is very clear, implying that Lin Xia is a remnant of the Soul-Devouring Sect. He did this to avenge the people of the Soul-Devouring Sect and to throw dirty water on his Shangguan family.
Seeing Ji Changyuan and the other elders showing thoughtful expressions, Shangguan Su continued, "Brother Changyuan, you may not know that this female cultivator has always been suspicious. She first used her talent in formations to sneak into our Shangguan family's outer courtyard, and then used her talent in alchemy to sneak into our Shangguan family's inner courtyard. Our Shangguan family was already suspicious of her. After some investigation, we discovered that this female cultivator first appeared openly in Qianmiao Forest. After that, there was no trace of her at all. It was as if she appeared out of thin air."
"My Shangguan family didn't think much of this before, we just valued her talent. Now I think we were indeed careless. This female cultivator has been lurking in the outer and inner courtyards of my Shangguan family for several years, probably waiting for this day."
Shangguan Su added to his words to increase the credibility of his words, "Every word I say is true. If you fellow Taoists don't believe me, you can go to the Shangguan family to investigate after today."
