235: Accusation fabricated
"How dare you! Are you trying to rebel?"
From within Tiannan Pavilion on Tiannan Peak, a cold female voice, filled with chilling intent, rang out.
The Tiannan Pavilion Great Formation was fully activated.
Two figures emerged from within the Great Formation.
Their Auras were astonishingly powerful.
One was a rather beautiful female Cultivator, her long black hair simply tied back with a green hairband. Her eyes were icy cold, one hand held behind her back, the other bent in front of her abdomen.
Beside the female Cultivator was a stooped, elderly man, dressed in black with white hair, his face difficult to discern.
As soon as the two appeared, those watching from afar felt a stir in their hearts, recognizing their identities.
"The current Pavilion Lord of Tiannan Pavilion, Li Shuwu, the Nancang Domain Lord's chief Disciple, True Lord Shuwu of the Late Nascent Soul Stage."
"As for the one beside True Lord Shuwu, that should be the Nancang Domain Lord's initial follower, the rather mysterious Old Qin. I didn't expect him to have also broken through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage."
Someone whispered.
"Li Shuwu, in your pursuit of Breakthrough, you Cultivated Demonic Technique, falling into the Demonic Path without realizing it. If the Nancang Domain Lord were still here, he would surely not tolerate you doing such a thing that disgraces the sect."
Seeing Li Shuwu and the other person,
among the six, Wei Clan First Ancestor, the eldest, seemed heartbroken as he spoke to them in a deep voice.
"Fallen into the Demonic Path..."
"This..."
"Impossible, right?"
"..."
The many Cultivators in the distance were suddenly startled upon hearing such a secret.
They carefully scrutinized Li Shuwu, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Haha~"
"How dare you even mention Revered Master? If Revered Master had not left, how would you corrupt individuals dare to bark here!"
Li Shuwu's face was full of disdain, showing contempt.
The disappearance of the Nancang Domain Lord was without warning, and even Li Shuwu, as his chief Disciple, was completely unaware.
After so many years of searching, there had been no progress.
Thus, these people dared to act rebelliously here.
"You!"
"Sharp-tongued and insolent! What kind of person was the Venerable, to have raised such a disrespectful Disciple!"
The Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang angrily spoke, their voices fluctuating between male and female.
The Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang were the Hall Revered Masters of the Yin Yang Harmony Hall.
The Cultivation Technique they Cultivated was quite strange; female with a male appearance, male with a female appearance. The two sometimes merged into one, and sometimes split into two, their Auras fluctuating and difficult to fathom.
Although both were only at the Middle Nascent Soul Stage, when they joined forces, they were not at a disadvantage even when compared to the other four veteran Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators beside them.
"You disgusting, neither Yin nor Yang things, since when do you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of this Venerable."
Li Shuwu glanced at them casually, completely disregarding the Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang.
In Li Shuwu's eyes, those two, who could only contend with Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators by relying on secret techniques and joining forces, were indeed not worthy of consideration.
"Enough!"
Seeing the Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang's anger intensify,
Ancestor Wuji shouted in a deep voice.
"Li Shuwu, Cultivating the Demonic Path harms the natural order. If you continue, I fear the entire Nancang Domain will suffer greatly."
"Considering you are the Venerable's Disciple, as long as you cripple your Cultivation, we will not take your life."
Ancestor Wuji wore an expression of compassion.
His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.
"When you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext."
"You and I both know your true intentions, why bother with this pretense? It truly disgusts me."
Facing Ancestor Wuji, Li Shuwu's expression became much more solemn, without the disdain she showed towards the Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang.
But her words were utterly merciless.
"Junior Sister Shuwu..."
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Fairy Bai Hua smiled sweetly and called out softly.
"Why waste words, you slut!"
However, before she could finish speaking, Li Shuwu cut her off.
Fairy Bai Hua, dressed in a white gown adorned with embroidery and exuding a faint fragrance of a hundred flowers, froze.
"Hmph!"
Li Shuwu coldly snorted.
"Junior Niece Shuwu, calm down. Such a demand is indeed too difficult for anyone. How about we both take a step back? You only need to seal your Cultivation and be imprisoned. After a hundred years, when you have reformed, I will certainly make the decision to release you. What do you think?"
True Monarch Lü Yuan, who appeared middle-aged and had not spoken until now, said softly.
"True Monarch Lü Yuan, I can't believe Master once considered you a good friend, yet you would do such a thing."
Li Shuwu's tone was complex. True Monarch Lü Yuan was originally a Loose Cultivator. Later, he established a Dao lineage in Central Continent, with few Disciples. After meeting the Nancang Domain Lord, he was highly regarded by him and had frequent interactions with Tiannan Pavilion.
"Alas~"
True Monarch Lü Yuan sighed softly, no longer speaking.
"Li Shuwu, if you continue to be stubborn, today we can only eliminate evil and uphold the Dao."
Wei Clan First Ancestor and Ancestor Wuji exchanged glances, deciding to cease this war of words.
"Heh!"
Li Shuwu sneered.
She and Old Qin, who had been bowing and stooping beside her, merged into the Tiannan Pavilion Great Formation.
"With this mountain protecting grand array, even if the five factions join forces, it won't be easy to break the Great Formation."
Li Shuwu's thoughts raced.
"Uncle Qin, you take charge of the eastern formation eye."
Li Shuwu said to Old Qin beside her.
Old Qin nodded silently, his figure disappearing.
Li Shuwu turned to look at the many Cultivators outside the Great Formation and coldly snorted.
She returned to the main hall of Tiannan Pavilion.
The Tiannan Pavilion Great Formation had four formation eyes: east, west, south, and north.
She was stationed in the southern formation eye in the main hall.
Old Qin was in the east.
As for the other two locations,
they were handed over to the other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in Tiannan Pavilion.
Although the Nascent Soul Cultivators of Tiannan Pavilion were not as numerous as the five combined forces,
they were not to be underestimated.
With this Great Formation, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious today.
As Li Shuwu and Old Qin entered the Great Formation, the Spiritual Qi on Tiannan Peak became more turbulent, and an Aura like heavenly might slowly emanated.
"This!"
The many Cultivators besieging Tiannan Pavilion felt this Aura, and a sense of deadly threat constantly lingered in their hearts.
However, the leading few remained unmoved.
Above Tiannan Peak, a humanoid phantom several hundred feet in size condensed, its face unclear.
"Attack!"
Li Shuwu, stationed in the main hall, did not sense the movements of Ancestor Wuji and the others, and she felt a vague unease in her heart.
But at this point, the arrow was on the string, and there was no time for second thoughts.
Li Shuwu's voice echoed in the minds of the various Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of Tiannan Pavilion.
As Li Shuwu's words fell,
high in the sky,
the hundred-foot phantom suddenly extended its palm.
Like a Sky-Overturning Seal, it pressed down on the many Cultivators outside.
"Defend!"
The phantom extended its hand, shaking heaven and earth, causing the winds and clouds to change.
The many Cultivators, unable to endure such pressure, had already unleashed all their respective methods.
Just as this Sky-Overturning Seal was about to descend,
that complete palm suddenly shattered at one corner.
"Act!"
Ancestor Wuji roared.
His magic power surged, and a circular Limitless Treasure Wheel appeared behind him.
As Ancestor Wuji pointed, the Limitless Treasure Wheel behind him shone brightly, and a stream of light shot out from the Limitless Treasure Wheel, heading straight for that broken corner.
At the same time, the attacks of the other five also followed.
The five Late Nascent Soul Stage attacks were incredibly powerful.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Several roaring sounds emerged.
The Tiannan Pavilion Great Formation shook violently.
"Who is it!"
In the main hall,
Li Shuwu's face changed drastically.
Her magic power continuously surged out, trying to stabilize the constantly shaking Great Formation.
Li Shuwu tried her best to stabilize the Great Formation, but her heart was filled with resentment.
At the last critical moment, someone had tampered with the Tiannan Pavilion Great Formation, which allowed Ancestor Wuji and the others to seize the weakness.
