89: Arrive at the Hehuan Sect to cleanse its ranks!

"What?!"

"The Sect Master has betrayed us?"

"That's impossible, right?"

The plaza instantly erupted in chaos.

"Evidence is here!"

Hua Nongying sneered, injecting spiritual power into the Image Stone.

Hum!

A massive curtain of light unfolded in mid-air.

The scene showed the time outside the Fallen Demon Valley, where Lu Yuan powerfully executed the Wanhun Hall Venerable, then pulled Su Yueli into his arms. The two were intimate, and in the end, they even left together.

Although there was no sound, Su Yueli's obedient and even somewhat affectionate appearance in the scene was crystal clear.

"Everyone, look clearly!"

Hua Nongying pointed at the image, shouting sternly, "As the Demonic Path Sect Master, Su Yueli not only lacks ambition, but she has colluded with the Righteous Path that slaughtered our Demonic Path comrades!"

"More importantly, I have long since verified that the Law of Emotion within her has been broken!"

"What qualifications does a woman who has lost her chastity, developed true feelings, and defected to the Righteous Path have to be the Sect Master of our Blissful Union Sect?!"

Upon these words, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

Everyone knew that the Blissful Union Sect Master cultivated the Heartless Dao.

If one truly developed feelings, it meant their Dao Heart was shattered, and they would have no hope for the Great Dao for the rest of their life.

"I propose!"

Hua Nongying struck while the iron was hot, shouting loudly, "Effective immediately, abolish Su Yueli's position as Sect Master, expel her from the Blissful Union Sect, and place her on the kill list!"

"A country cannot go a day without a ruler, and a Sect cannot go a day without a master."

"I, though untalented, am willing to temporarily act as Sect Master and lead the Blissful Union Sect to regain our footing!"

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

Her gaze was sharp, and a terrifying pressure from the Peak-Nascent Soul Stage swept across the entire plaza.

"The Grand Elder is right! Su Yueli betrayed the Sect; she deserves death!"

"Please, Grand Elder, assume the position!"

Her pre-arranged confidants immediately shouted in agreement.

However, just at this moment.

"I oppose!"

A cold and angry voice rang out.

On the other side of the high platform, a beautiful woman in green robes stood up abruptly.

This person was named Liu Yanran, a Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, and a loyalist to Su Yueli.

Behind her, three other Early Stage Soul Transformation Elders also stood up.

"Hua Nongying, stop spouting such slander here!"

Liu Yanran glared at Hua Nongying, "That Image Stone has no beginning or end; who knows if you forged it?"

"Furthermore, the Sect Master has braved life and death for the Sect for years. We know her character; it is absolutely impossible for her to betray us!"

"You clearly covet the Sect Master's position and want to use this opportunity to rebel!"

"Yes! We must wait for the Sect Master to return and explain!"

"This Image Stone proves nothing!"

Several loyal Elders spoke up one after another.

Hua Nongying watched this scene, not only not angry, but the corner of her mouth hooked into a sinister smile.

"Explain?"

"Liu Yanran, you really are stubborn."

"Since you miss Su Yueli so much, then I will send you underground to see her."

Liu Yanran's expression changed; she instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to circulate her mana.

However, the next moment, her face instantly turned deathly pale.

"My mana..."

She discovered with horror that the mana in her body was like a pool of stagnant water; she couldn't mobilize even a shred of it!

It wasn't just her; the few Elders behind her were in the same situation, each collapsing onto their chairs, completely powerless.

"You... you poisoned us?!"

Liu Yanran stared fixedly at Hua Nongying, her eyes full of disbelief.

By the Soul Transformation Stage, ordinary poison is completely ineffective.

"Hehe, this is the Ten Absolutes Spirit-Softening Powder specially made by Wanhun Hall."

Hua Nongying smiled triumphantly, "Colorless and odorless, specifically targeting the Law and mana of Soul Transformation Cultivators."

"Junior Sister Liu, was that cup of tea just now delicious?"

"Despicable!" Liu Yanran gritted her teeth, "Hua Nongying, you colluded with outsiders and harmed your own kind; you are the true traitor!"

"History is written by the victors."

Hua Nongying waved her hand dismissively, "Men, take these traitors, lock them in the water prison, and await judgment!"

"Yes!"

Several Enforcement Hall Disciples immediately rushed up, holding Spirit-Locking Chains, about to seize Liu Yanran and the others.

Watching this scene, the Disciples below were silent as cicadas in winter; no one dared to make a sound.

It was over.

The sky of the Blissful Union Sect had completely changed.

A hint of despair flashed in Liu Yanran's eyes, but she had a strong character; even if she died, she would not accept humiliation.

"Hua Nongying, even if I die and become a vengeful ghost, I will not let you go!"

Just at this critical moment.

"A fine 'history is written by the victors'."

A female voice, full of majesty and coldness, suddenly descended from the firmament.

"Hua Nongying, who gave you the guts to touch my people?"

This voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable pressure of a superior.

The Enforcement Hall Disciples who were in the middle of acting froze, subconsciously looking up.

They saw a huge pink lotus slowly blooming in the Void Realm.

On that lotus pedestal, two figures stood side by side.

The woman was dressed in purple, beautiful and unparalleled, with monstrous anger and Killing Intent between her brows—it was the long-missing Sect Master, Su Yueli!

And beside her, a man in green robes stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, looking down at the scene below as if watching a play.

"Sect... Sect Master?!"

Seeing Su Yueli appear, Hua Nongying's pupils shrank violently, and the triumph on her face instantly froze.

"How is it possible... how could you possibly return?"

Su Yueli snorted coldly, stepped out, and instantly teleported from the lotus pedestal to the high platform.

"If I didn't return, wouldn't this Blissful Union Sect have to change its surname to Hua?"

Her gaze was like a knife, sweeping over those Enforcement Hall Disciples who had taken action.

"Scram!"

With a sharp shout, those Disciples were so scared that their bodies trembled; the Spirit-Locking Chains in their hands fell to the ground, and they knelt down one after another, shivering.

"Sect Master, spare us! Sect Master, spare us!"

Su Yueli ignored these fence-sitters and walked to Liu Yanran's side, flicking her finger, and several detoxifying Medicinal Pills shot into their mouths.

Afterward, she turned around and stared fixedly at Hua Nongying.

"Hua Nongying, colluding with outsiders, poisoning fellow Sect members, and attempting to rebel."

"Do you plead guilty to these charges?"

Facing Su Yueli's questioning, although Hua Nongying felt a bit guilty, seeing Lu Yuan behind Su Yueli, and thinking that she herself was now at the Peak-Nascent Soul Stage, she immediately regained her confidence.

"Plead guilty? What should I plead guilty to?"

Hua Nongying sneered, pointing at Lu Yuan, "Su Yueli, do you still have the face to come back?"

"Look at who you brought back?"

"Isn't this the Old Ancestor of the Azure Cloud Sect, Lu Yuan?"

"You brought the leader of the Righteous Path swaggering into our Sect's main altar, and you still dare to say you haven't betrayed us?"

"In my opinion, the person who should be convicted is you!"

Her counter-accusation was extremely tricky.

It pointed the spearhead directly at Lu Yuan's identity.

Hearing this, Su Yueli was just about to erupt.

But she saw Lu Yuan slowly step forward and stand in front of Su Yueli.

He didn't speak, just quietly looking at Hua Nongying.

Those golden eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

But being stared at by these eyes, Hua Nongying felt as if she had been locked onto by a Primeval Fierce Beast, and the hair all over her body stood up.

She subconsciously wanted to probe Lu Yuan's cultivation.

However.

Her Divine Sense swept over, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea; she couldn't reach the bottom at all.

Unfathomable!

"You... what exactly is your Realm?"

Hua Nongying's voice trembled slightly, and a feeling of extreme ominousness rose in her heart.

Didn't the intelligence from Wanhun Hall say that this person was only in the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage?

Why did he give her the feeling of being unfathomable, like the Void Refining Old Ancestor of the Blissful Union Sect?
