111: Chapter 111 A Fabricated Charge!

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside Cangwu Mountain, the once clear sky was now completely obscured by dozens of massive spiritual energy airships from the Righteous Path Alliance. A dark mass of clouds, accompanied by a suffocating, murderous aura, enveloped the entire world.

On the periphery of the Righteous Path Alliance's army, hundreds of various types of airships were densely parked.

These were all the leaders of major forces in the Southern Wasteland Region who had received Gu Xuanji's decree and traveled through the night to "observe the ceremony."

The Empress of the Fire Cloud Empire, Ji Wushuang, stood trembling at the edge of her dragon-shaped flying carriage, gazing with a complex expression at the mist-shrouded Cangwu Mountain.

"The time has come!"

On the deck of the flagship, Gu Xuanji snapped his eyes open, and the terrifying pressure of the Half-step Void Refinement Realm swept through the area like a tsunami.

"Devil Head Wang Yang of the Hehuan Sect, get out here and face your death immediately!"

Rumble—!

Sound waves laced with spiritual power shattered the clouds across the sky.

Just as the various Southern Wasteland forces thought the Hehuan Sect would activate their Sect Protection Array to defend to the death, a brilliant golden light suddenly flashed atop the main Peak of Cangwu Mountain.

Following that, Wang Yang appeared in mid-air, dressed in pristine white clothes and looking as if he were taking a leisurely stroll. He had his hands behind his back and was accompanied by a group of peerless beauties of all shapes and sizes!

Ye Qingcheng, Su Qingge, Xiao Yuhan, Liu Ruyan, Lin Xiaowan, Bai Linger, and Ji Linglong—who had just shed her red armor for a form-fitting martial arts outfit.

Surrounding Wang Yang, the women showed no fear of the impending disaster; instead, they all looked relaxed, and Ye Qingcheng even had a lazy, amused smile on her face as if she were watching a play.

"What a grand display! To dare be so arrogant when death is at his door—this Devil Head is utterly insolent!"

Seeing Wang Yang appear, the leaders of the Southern Wasteland forces, eager to show their loyalty to the Righteous Path Alliance, immediately jumped out like flies drawn to a stench.

One Sect Master stood at the bow of his airship, pointing at Wang Yang and cursing loudly: "Wang Yang! You heterodox demon, you have committed countless evils! Today, Elder Gu leads the heavenly soldiers of the Righteous Path Alliance to enact justice for Heaven! Kneel and submit to the law immediately!"

"That's right! Elder Gu's magic is boundless, and the Righteous Path Alliance's prestige awes the universe! A demonic Sect that hides filth like the Hehuan Sect should have been wiped from the Southern Wasteland long ago!"

Hearing these fence-sitters belittle the Hehuan Sect to please Gu Xuanji, even calling it a demonic Sect at every turn, Lin Xiaowan, standing behind Wang Yang, couldn't take it anymore.

This girl was usually the most honest and simple-minded, and she couldn't stand anyone saying a single bad word about Wang Yang.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Lin Xiaowan took a step forward indignantly, hands on her hips, and retorted loudly: "My Revered Master is the best Revered Master in the whole world! Our Hehuan Sect never bullies the weak; instead, it's you hypocritical people who are twisting the truth! What right do you have to slander us as a demonic Sect? Do you have evidence?"

"Evidence? Hahaha, what an absolute joke!"

On the flagship of the Righteous Path Alliance, a Peak Nascent Soul Stage Elder stepped forward. With a cold sneer, he pointed at the women behind Wang Yang and announced loudly:

"You want evidence? Then this old man will let you die with understanding!"

"The thief Wang Yang used despicable means to lure Ye Qingcheng, the Saintess of the Tianshui Holy Land—the leader of the Righteous Path in our Southern Wasteland—to fall into the Demonic Path!

He then used sinister schemes to abduct and defile Xiao Yuhan, the Inspector of the Heavenly Dao Alliance!"

"Not only are his methods low, but he is also cruelly bloodthirsty! He destroyed the famous and upright Tianshui Holy Land and even conspired to murder Vice Hall Master Jin Erhe of our Righteous Path Alliance's Law Enforcement Hall!"

The Elder became more excited as he spoke, his voice carrying across the fields: "Of all these matters, which one isn't backed by mountain-like evidence? Such evil deeds are simply too numerous to record!"

Hearing these high-handed "charges," Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Yuhan looked at each other, both revealing expressions as if they were looking at idiots.

They had clearly given their hearts to their husband voluntarily, so how did it become "lured" and "abducted" in the mouth of the Righteous Path Alliance?

Hearing these high-handed "charges," the crowd chimed in with their denunciations.

Just then, on the Fire Cloud Empire's dragon-shaped flying carriage at the back of the crowd, Empress Ji Wushuang stared fixedly at her sister, Ji Linglong, who was standing beside Wang Yang.

When she saw Ji Linglong's face flushed red as she pressed close to Wang Yang's side, a flash of panic crossed Ji Wushuang's eyes.

To completely sever ties with the Hehuan Sect and show her loyalty to the Righteous Path Alliance, she gritted her teeth, stepped forward fiercely, and identified her loudly:

"Seniors! This Devil Head Wang Yang also lured the Eldest Princess of my Fire Cloud Empire, my own sister Ji Linglong, to fall into the Demonic Path!"

Ji Wushuang pointed at Ji Linglong, her voice sharp and heartless: "Everyone, look! My sister's face is flushed and her aura is disordered; it's obvious she was just used as a cultivation vessel by this devil! My Fire Cloud Empire is irreconcilable with such a Devil Head!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire field went into an uproar.

Ji Linglong looked at her biological sister, who was sitting on the imperial throne and throwing mud at her without hesitation just to save her own life. Her eyes turned completely cold.

Revered Master was right; her sister's heart only held the weighing of pros and cons. The Fire Cloud Empire... was indeed beyond saving.

And Ji Linglong, who had been conflicted just a moment ago, now felt only relief and total devotion toward Wang Yang.

"Hehe, luring Righteous Path prodigies, harming fellow cultivators..."

At that moment, Gu Xuanji, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, let out a sinister sneer.

He looked down at Wang Yang from his high position, his Half-step Void Refinement gaze seemingly able to pierce through everything:

"Besides these, this old man shall add one more charge—colluding with the Yao Race!"

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Xuanji suddenly raised his right hand, his withered fingers held together like a sword, and pointed sharply toward a patch of void on the western side of Cangwu Mountain!

"Beast hiding your head and showing your tail, get out here for this old man!"

Boom—!

A terrifying Half-step Void Refinement Realm finger beam instantly tore through space!

"Ugh!"

Accompanied by a muffled groan, the space that was originally empty shattered like a mirror.

A beautiful white silhouette was forced out of her spatial concealment, stumbling back a dozen steps in mid-air before barely steadying herself.

Dressed in a plain palace gown, with a face like a peach blossom, her temperament was dignified yet carried a naturally born seductive charm.

It was none other than the Yao Emperor of the White Fox Clan, Bai Su, who had only recently parted ways with Wang Yang!

"Mother!"

"Mother-in-law?!"

Both Bai Linger and Wang Yang were stunned.

It turned out that although Bai Su had said she would stay in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, she ultimately couldn't stop worrying about Wang Yang, with whom she had just shared her heart and body, nor could she rest easy regarding Bai Linger's safety.

Therefore, she had secretly followed them and hidden in the void, intending to risk her life to help if Wang Yang proved to be no match for his enemies!

Gu Xuanji looked at the revealed Bai Su, a flash of disdain and arrogance in his eyes:

"A mere second-level Yao Emperor fox demon dares to show off her meager skills before this old man?"

"Audacious monster! I could tell at a glance that you weren't human!"

"Wang Yang, you have colluded with the Yao Race and harmed fellow members of the Righteous Path. The evidence is conclusive. Today, none of you should think of leaving this Cangwu Mountain alive!"
