Ding Huan's gaze fell on He Xinxin and Si Baiye, and he said coldly:
"It seems that humans cannot be too kind. I was too kind, and that's why I got bitten by such beasts."
"Ding Huan, if you can't produce evidence, don't waste everyone's time here. Threatening two practitioners who have narrowly escaped death is no skill at all," shouted Shi Qi Qiu angrily.
Ding Huan plucked out a crystal ball and threw it away:
"Please take a look for yourselves."
Ding Huan is from Earth. He knows better than anyone that one must base their words on evidence.
In the era on Earth where everyone is a director, who wouldn't know how to record a conversation video?
Although technology here is limited, the image crystal ball gave Ding Huan a surprise.
Starting from the Westwind City, as long as there was an opportunity, he would record everything in the crystal ball. After recording, regardless of whether it could be used or not, throwing it into the ring wouldn't take up much space.
Even until today, he rarely uses the crystal ball, but the number of crystal balls in the ring has been consistently increasing.
Even during the Battle of Heaven, he recorded several crystal balls.
But the crystal balls recorded by Ding Huan are mostly controversial or might be useful.
As for the recorded video at the Blue Star Sect's Grand Assembly, it wasn't actually to prevent several disciples who had left the sect, such as He Xinxin and Si Baiye.
Recording this crystal ball and being able to use it even today is completely coincidental.
He wanted to leave some precious footage for the establishment of the Blue Star Sect.
Perhaps many years later, the founder of the Blue Star Sect, who is him, has already left the Three-Star Land and Sea.
But the Blue Star Sect has been here all along. He recorded this crystal ball of imagery to let the future generations of the sect know how it was established.
This is purely for the preservation of the sect's historical records.
Ding Huan really didn't think that he would be able to use this video here.
The image appeared in the virtual space, and at the Blue Star Sect's Grand Assembly, Ding Huan clearly said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are not willing to join the new sect, I will not insist. However, the next meeting is for sect disciples only, so those who do not wish to join the new sect can leave now."
"As we are currently in a state of seclusion, we cannot let you leave the sect immediately. I promise that one year later, you can safely leave the sect without any harm."
Seeing that some were still hesitant, Ding Huan continued:
"Those who want to leave, rest assured, as soon as the sect's protective mountain array is activated, you can leave. With Elder Liu here, you don't have to worry that I would deceive you."
Afterwards, He Xinxin stood up:
"Thank you, senior. Since the Zixia Valley is gone, I He Xinxin do not wish to join any other sect. I will leave this place once the sect stops being sealed."
Following He Xinxin, two male disciples stepped forward. One was named Si Baiye, at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, and the other was named Chong Qusheng, at the sixth level of Qi cultivation.
Ding Huan said:
"Fine, you can step down for now and reside on the disciple peak of the outer sect. Remember, before the sect is opened, do not leave the disciple peak of the outer sect at random, or you will fall into a trap array."
"Yes." The three disciples bowed and replied, then immediately exited the sect hall.
...
The image shows the matter has become very clear.
It is not as He Xinxin claimed that Ding Huan killed countless people with rivers of blood, and then she and others quickly pretentiously joined the Blue Star Sect.
In the beginning, they had not actually joined the Blue Star Sect, but Ding Huan generously allowed them to reside on the outer disciple peak until they left.
As for Ding Huan killing the sect's elders, it is absurd to even think about.
The Blue Star Sect had just been established; there were no elders in the sect yet. How could there have been any elders to kill?
If there were still alive Zixia Valley's elders and they tried to seize the Blue Star Sect and Ding Huan engaged in a fight to defend it, that would be a matter of territory disputes.
Such an event, with its complex reasons, has each person holding their own standards for right and wrong. It is not yet the time to use grand slogans of fairness and justice against Ding Huan in such a situation.
To put it another way, when has a sect ever been established or undergone internal strife without such incidents occurring?
He Xinxin and Si Baiye's faces were pale, and their forehead sweat was oozing out.
They could not understand why Ding Huan, as the leader of the sect, would record the imagery of such trivial matters.
Shi Qi Qiu really wanted to step forward and claim that Ding Huan's crystal ball was fake.
However, he also knew that it was just a matter of humiliation for him to do so.
If Ding Huan's crystal ball were fake, someone would have pointed it out by now. How could it possibly be his turn to do so?
"Master, spare our lives. We were coerced by Shi Chuncang. He forced us to say these things."
He Xinxin clearly knew the seriousness of this matter, and he had already knelt down on the ground.
Yi Qianxing's voice also grew cold:
"Two Qi cultivators daring to defame the master of a sect."
Shi Qi Qiu suddenly let out a cold snort:
"How could you, such ungrateful scum, be useful? I almost fell for your trap and framed a good person."
After saying that, he directly sent out two gusts of wind blades.
"Pu pu!" Two streams of blood splattered.
He Xinxin and Si Baiye never expected that their biggest support had killed them.
The Ding Huan who was slandered and suspected by them, sat in his seat without so much as moving.
"What do you mean by that, Your Eminence?"
Ding Huan, who had not moved, suddenly looked at Shi Qi Qiu.
Shi Qi Qiu bowed and said:
"Master Ding, I should have considered this matter more carefully. I did not expect these two small Qi cultivators to dare to defame you."
Ding Huan suddenly nodded:
"You're right, those who defame must die. That's very good."
Shi Qi Qiu nodded in agreement and said:
"How can fairness and justice prevail in the flying ascension realm if those who defamed are not punished? How can justice be upheld?"
He knew that it was not realistic to kill Ding Huan now, and after Ding Huan left the Wanbao City, he would be the first to kill Ding Huan.
Just as his thoughts took shape, he saw Ding Huan suddenly invoke the "Farewell Gun," a burst of gun energy exploded, followed by a torrent of killing intent directed at him.
Shi Qi Qiu was extremely angry in his heart. A mere sect master from the Taoist realm dared to lay hands on him, Shi Qi Qiu, looking for death.
Just as his field was extending, he was about to lock down Ding Huan's vitality space, when a blood-curdling scream echoed.
Before Shi Qi Qiu could wonder why the killing intent directed at him suddenly disappeared, he saw that Ding Huan's "Farewell Gun" was hanging a man.
The man was shot in the head by Ding Huan, his body hanging from the long spear, and blood was still dripping down, tap-tap.
That's not Shi Chuncang, then who is it?
Shi Chuncang was further away from him, separated by He Xinxin and Si Baiye, and because Ding Huan's first intention was to kill him, he didn't have the chance to save Shi Chuncang.
With Shi Chuncang dying before him, Shi Qi Qiu's eyes were full of rage. He grasped a white jade tablet and was about to rush towards Ding Huan.
Ding Huan remained calm and unafraid. He was an Immortal, how could he be defeated? And even if the other party used his domain to lock his vitality space, it would be just a dream.
"Boom!" A more powerful force swept in.
Shi Qi Qiu was struck in the chest by this force, vomiting a stream of blood and flying backward, landing in his seat with a thud.
"Lin Zhuangshu, what do you mean? Our Changle Academy is one of the five major flying ascension sects in the realm. Is your Baiyue Village planning to go to war with our Changle Academy?"
Shi Qi Qiu wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes filled with redness.
He had lost all face today. Not only could he not take down a little Ding Huan, but he was also beaten to the point of spitting blood.
"If you want to start a war, that's fine." Lin Yuchi's tone was calm.
Shi Qi Qiu's mind finally calmed down.
Although his Changle Academy has a big name, there is no strongman at the realm of immortals in the academy.
If they were to start a war with the Baiyue Village, Lin Yuchi alone could destroy his Changle Academy.
Just now, he was so obsessed with protecting Shi's family's lineage that he lost his composure.
"If you must fight, there is no need. But if you insist on it, there will be consequences. It's not just about might; it's about what's right and wrong. It seems that you believe your strength in cultivation is enough to overpower all the reasoning in the world?"
Ding Huan killed Shi Chuncang for no reason at all, and you stepped in to prevent me from killing Ding Huan. What kind of logic is that?
You can kill me Shi Qi Qiu, but you cannot kill all cultivators in the flying world.
Ding Huan laughed out loud:
"Shi Qi Qiu, you think you represent all cultivators in the flying world? Come on, you're dreaming. You're not even as handsome as the old pumpkin in the flying world, let alone the pig, which thinks so too."
A cold voice came from afar, "Master Ding, you are correct. At least for my Luoshou Palace, he does not represent us."
Ding Huan looked at Liu Yinyu, who was speaking, thinking that at least she had some conscience. She didn't forget the life he had saved her.
Yi Qianxing said:
"Ding Huan just killed Shi Chuncang with your permission."
"When have I ever allowed Ding Huan to kill Shi Chuncang?" Shi Qi Qiu's tone grew cold.
Does he think that because Shi Qi Qiu has been getting his ass handed to him, he doesn't have allies?
Yi Qianxing calmly said:
"You just said 'Defamers shall not die, how can fairness and justice prevail in the flying ascension realm? How can justice be upheld?'
I believe that Master Ding must have killed Shi Chuncang because of that statement."
"Yi Towers, I mean precisely that." Ding Huan bowed and said.
According to logic, he should address Yi Qianxing as senior. However, with his current identity as the sect master of the Ding Sect, he could not afford to be careless in his address.
"What evidence do you have to say that Shi Chuncang defamed you?" Shi Qi Qiu coldly glared at Ding Huan.
He was speaking to Ding Huan on the surface, but the words were aimed at the people in the hall.
Even Yi Qianxing was rendered speechless by Shi Qi Qiu's shamelessness. Earlier, when Shi Chuncang was speaking, there were many people present who heard what he said.
Unfortunately, Shi Chuncang is dead, and now there is no evidence here.
Ding Huan suddenly threw out another crystal ball: "There is evidence here."
The crystal ball's image fell into the void, and Shi Chuncang, with He Xinxin and Si Baiye, entered.
Then Shi Chuncang said loudly:
"Many people know about Ding Huan's random killing of the innocent. I, too, know about Ding Huan's poisonous killing of the sect leader and causing the death of the Zixia Valley patriarch."
Now you just say your piece, and I'll fill in any gaps for you. Even without you, I will speak out about these matters."
