265: question

“I… I don’t know… I fainted right after entering the imperial palace, and when I woke up, it was like that…”

Ye Yan thought for a long time before finally giving this answer.

But this answer was clearly unsatisfactory.

“Ye Yan! Are you taking us for fools? You fainted as soon as you entered, who would believe that?”

Shen Yue was the first to disbelieve, as anyone would find this excuse incredible.

“Indeed, Ye Yan, you’d better be honest. If you are innocent, we naturally won’t make things difficult for you!”

“But if you really did something to betray the Holy Land, we won’t let you off lightly!”

Tianyan Holy Master’s expression also changed instantly.

“Explain it! Holy Son Ye! I am also very curious, even if Haoyue Sect wanted a hostage, why would it be Shen Li and not you, the Saint?”

Su Xuan also seized the opportunity to speak.

“I… I…”

Ye Yan didn’t know what to say.

“Ding! The host publicly embarrassed the Destined Protagonist Ye Yan, Ye Yan’s Luck value decreased by 5000, rewarding 50000 Villain Points!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully making Ye Yan a suspect for everyone, Ye Yan’s Luck value decreased by 10000, rewarding 100000 Villain Points!”

Another wave of Villain Points arrived, and Su Xuan’s expression towards Ye Yan became even happier.

“Look into my eyes! Ye Yan! Tell me honestly, what exactly happened?”

Shen Yue stared at Ye Yan, and a Great Emperor’s pressure immediately spread from all around, forcing Ye Yan to look at him.

“As expected of a Great Emperor. If Qing Li hadn’t helped me block some of the pressure, I probably wouldn’t be able to sit still!”

With his current cultivation, without using Liu Ruoli’s power, those Great Emperor could kill him with a single breath.

It seems he is still too weak, and needs to quickly harvest leeks to become stronger.

“Master, Qing Li will protect you! Don’t worry, I can still withstand a mere Great Emperor’s pressure!”

Qing Li’s voice came from his mind.

“Thank you for your hard work, Qing Li! I’ll reward you later! Hundreds of millions worth!”

Su Xuan smiled wickedly.

“Hehehe, thank you, Master!”

Qing Li said excitedly.

“Elder Shen! You’re going too far! Young Master Su is still here! How can you use Great Emperor’s pressure!”

Tianyan Holy Master quickly removed the pressure for Su Xuan.

“It’s fine, Holy Master. Elder Shen is anxious, I can understand that. If my daughter experienced something like this, I would also be anxious!”

“Holy Master, don’t worry, I have this jade pendant to protect me, so I can still block the Great Emperor’s pressure!”

Su Xuan touched the jade pendant on his neck and smiled.

“I’m sorry, Young Master Su, I almost forgot about your presence! I was too anxious just now, I apologize! I apologize to you on behalf of Tianyan Holy Land, and I will compensate you later!”

Shen Yue was very apologetic. Fortunately, nothing happened to Su Xuan, otherwise his Alliance with Tianwu Holy Land would have fallen through.

“No need for compensation, I, Su Xuan, am not a petty person!”

Su Xuan smiled.

Anyway, Elder Shen won’t live much longer, and by then, all his things will be his! Hehehe! What’s a mere compensation?

“Young Master Su has such magnanimity! I admire him!”

Elder Shen said admiringly.

“I’d like to remind Elder Shen that besides torture, there’s another method to inquire about something, and that method is called soul searching!”

“As long as you search the soul, no matter how many secrets that person has, they will all be exposed!”

“You agree, don’t you? Holy Son Ye?”

Su Xuan sneered as he looked at Holy Son Ye.

“What nonsense are you talking about! Soul searching? Why don’t you search yours?”

Ye Yan questioned loudly.

Once his soul was searched, his identity as a Transmigration would be exposed, along with all his previous actions.

Ye Yan didn’t dare to imagine how Tianyan Holy Land would deal with him if they knew all these things!

In fact, there would be no need to deal with him; once the soul search was over, he would be like an idiot!

At that time, he would truly be crippled! He would have nothing! Unless Tianyan Holy Land was willing to save him!

“Heh, Holy Son Ye, you probably haven’t understood one thing, have you? I am from Tianwu Holy Land. Even if a soul search is to be done, it will be done by someone from Tianwu Holy Land. What right do you have?”

“You should worry about your own safety!”

Su Xuan sneered.

“I almost forgot, there’s also soul searching! Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Su!”

Elder Shen finally remembered that there was such a method!

Although Ye Yan was his disciple, his daughter Shen Li was more important to him!

“Elder Shen! No! Ye Yan is our Saint, after all. What if you search his soul and cripple him?”

Tianyan Holy Master still opposed this matter. After all, Ye Yan was the Saint, the future of their Tianyan Holy Land!

“Holy Master! In comparison, shouldn’t we be more concerned about what exactly happened back then?”

“What if, as Young Master Su said, Ye Yan has some connection with demonic cultivators?”

Elder Shen was blinded by rage.

“Master… you…”

Ye Yan couldn’t believe that his Master, the one he respected so much and regarded as a second father, would use such a method as soul searching on him!

Was he still his disciple?

“Ding! Detected the rupture of Ye Yan’s master-disciple relationship, Ye Yan’s Luck value decreased by 30000, rewarding 300000 Villain Points!”

“Ye Yan, do you still know that I am your Master? Then honestly tell me what happened that day!”

Elder Shen shouted.

“Speak! Is there anything you can’t tell us? As long as it’s not colluding with a demonic sect, what can’t be said?”

Elder Shen practically roared.

“I…”

Ye Yan fell silent.

“You… you’re infuriating me!”

Elder Shen stomped his foot in anger. How could this Ye Yan suddenly become like this?

“Elder Shen, forget it! I was just joking, you don’t have to take it seriously. How could Holy Son Ye be a demonic cultivator?”

“There’s no need for soul searching or anything. I only said that because Holy Son Ye was making things difficult for me just now!”

“I apologize to you, I’m sorry, Holy Son Ye!”

Seeing that the show was almost over, Su Xuan also appropriately backed off. If Ye Yan were truly soul-searched, he, as the instigator, would definitely not be able to escape responsibility!

Su Xuan would never leave any evidence behind.

“Young Master Su is right, Elder Shen! Don’t be too impulsive. If Haoyue Sect found out, we’d be fighting amongst ourselves before we even started, wouldn’t that be a joke?”
