Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 234 He was wronged
Although Chen Ye did not follow Yu Shenxing, he did not return to his room.

His intuition told him that the quarrel between the Yunlu Immortal Sect and the Shenlou Sect was related to the poisoned pastry, and he would not be at ease until he found out the truth.

Therefore, Chen Ye chose a corner, summoned Chen Guang, and asked, "Can you use illusion magic to cover me up? I want to see what they are arguing about."

Chen Guang still looked like the little girl Chen Ye had sculpted. After listening to Chen Ye's request, Chen Guang thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, but if you don't want to be discovered by cultivators of higher realms, you can't move or speak. You can only look and listen."

Chen Ye thought for a moment, and feeling there was no problem, he nodded and said, "Alright, please perform the spell, young lady."

Chen Guang flew behind Chen Ye, wrapped her arms around his neck, and as soon as her body got close, she turned into a thin mist that enveloped Chen Ye.

As Chen Ye was enveloped in mist, he felt himself floating up and his body slowly becoming transparent.

A moment later, apart from still being able to see and hear, Chen Ye could not even sense the existence of his own body, as if his soul had left his body.

What amazing illusion magic! No wonder the Mirage Sect treasures this creature; only a Mirage Demon's talent can maximize the effect of illusion magic.

Unfortunately, the Mirage Faction didn't know the meaning of winning people over with virtue; relying solely on intimidation and threats ultimately failed to win people's hearts.

Chen Guang's voice rang in Chen Ye's mind: "Where do you want to go? Don't speak, just think about it, I can sense it."

Although Chen Ye couldn't feel his own body, he still subconsciously kept his mouth shut, thinking, "I want to eavesdrop on the argument between the Mirage Sect and the Cloud Peak Immortal Sect. Please take me closer, young lady, and preferably from a suitable angle. I want to see all of them."

"Okay, remember, don't move around."

Chen Guang agreed, and Chen Ye felt his body begin to float, moving very fast, as if he were flying on a sword.

After walking through the long corridor and turning several corners, we soon heard the sound of a heated argument.

Chen Ye listened intently and quickly recognized one of the voices.

Yu Xing of the Mirage Sect was the one who repeatedly provoked Chen Ye, forcing him to fight the Mirage Sect again.

The kid was shouting and yelling, as if he was explaining something.

Chen Ye only heard several repeated sentences.

"I never said those things, you're framing me!"

“I, Yu Xing, never lie; everything I say and do is worthy of heaven and earth.”

……

When Chen Ye arrived at the bustling hall, he saw three disciples of the Yunlu Immortal Sect confronting five disciples of the Shenlou Sect. The scene was tense, and both sides even revealed their magical treasures.

Yu Shenxing seemed to have just arrived as well, and was frowning as he listened to the commotion from both sides.

With so many people talking at once, and everyone blaming each other, Chen Ye couldn't hear what was going on.

Finally, Yu Shenxing impatiently slapped his wheelchair, causing ripples to spread out and instantly silencing all other sounds.

Everyone opened their mouths, but no sound came out.

Chen Ye was somewhat surprised; this spell was powerful and completely countered Chen Ye's Bronze Bell Hell.

After silencing everyone, Yu Shenxing addressed them, saying, "We are all disciples of the five major sects. There's no need to make things so ugly between us. Since it's just a verbal dispute, let's clear things up one by one. Yu Xing, since this matter started because of you, you should tell us what happened first."

Yu Shenxing withdrew the spell, and everyone was finally able to speak again. However, after Yu Shenxing glanced at them, they shut their mouths again and dared not make a mess of things like before.

Yu Xing, however, was completely fearless. Despite his low cultivation level, he was incredibly thick-skinned. Facing Yu Shenxing's gaze, he still loudly proclaimed, "I've already said it! I was just passing by with some fellow disciples when we were about to encounter your Yunlu Immortal Sect disciples. Right here, we brushed past each other. But suddenly, your Yunlu Immortal Sect people turned around and started hurling insults at me. I'm the innocent victim!"

As soon as Yu Xing finished speaking, the Yunlu Immortal Sect disciples next to Yu Shenxing were about to retort, but they were silenced by Yu Shenxing's cold snort and could only shut their mouths.

Yu Shenxing then asked, "What did they say to you?"

Yu Xing said angrily, "They say I don't have much skill, but I've honed my sharp tongue. They say I've brought shame to the Mirage Sect, that my face was swollen from being slapped by that brat from the Yellow Spring Sect and I still have the nerve to show my face and embarrass myself. They also say I'm insidious and vicious. This is completely absurd. If I, Yu Xing, want to curse someone, I don't need to curse in secret; I just point my finger at their nose and curse them directly."

Yu Shenxing frowned upon hearing this and turned to ask his fellow disciples, "Is what he said true?"

A disciple of the Yunlu Immortal Sect said, "Senior brother, we did insult him, but it was really him who provoked us first. The three of us brothers were just passing by, looking for something to eat. We happened to run into the Shenlou Sect members, and we greeted them politely. Then we heard Yu Xing muttering that our Yunlu Immortal Sect was frivolous and dissolute, and that everyone in it was a bunch of good-for-nothings."

“We have no grudge against him, and suddenly we were insulted. What kind of logic is that? When we confronted him, Yu Xing refused to admit it. We heard it all clearly.”

Yu Shenxing carefully observed his fellow disciples. Based on his understanding of them, these junior brothers were not troublemakers. Yu Xing, on the other hand, was notoriously sarcastic and prone to making a fool of himself.

Regardless, Yu Shenxing trusted his junior brothers' accounts more. Upon closer examination, Yu Shenxing noticed something amiss and asked Yu Xing, "Since my junior brothers say they heard you speak rudely, logically speaking, if my junior brothers heard it, your fellow disciples should have heard it too. Fellow disciples of the Mirage Sect, on behalf of the Yunlu Immortal Sect, I, Yu Shenxing, humbly request that you answer me truthfully: did you hear Yu Xing speak rudely to my Yunlu Immortal Sect disciples?"

"If not, I, Yu Shenxing, apologize to everyone on behalf of the Yunlu Immortal Sect. This is my fault. If you say there is a fault, then we are both at fault, and let's let this matter rest."

"But if you all deliberately distort the facts, there are no secrets in this world. My Yunlu Immortal Sect will do its utmost to investigate the truth and demand an explanation."

"Gentlemen, please give me a reply."

After Yu Shenxing finished speaking, he stared intently at the group of Mirage Sect disciples.

Apart from Yu Xing, the others all had somewhat shifty eyes.

Chen Ye also noticed these details. Without a doubt, these disciples of the Mirage Sect had something to hide; they must have heard Yu Xing cursing.

However, Yu Xing remained unconcerned and called out to his fellow disciples behind him, "Speak up! Prove to me whether I didn't say a word before they started swearing. I couldn't even be bothered to greet them, so why would I start swearing?"

Yu Shenxing glared at Yu Xing. This man was indeed outspoken; it was no exaggeration to say he was cursing.

Yu Shenxing snorted coldly and said to the Mirage Sect members, "I've heard that the Mirage Sect has a magical artifact that can detect lies. I wonder if any of you have it with you? Why don't you take it out and try it out to see if it's true or false?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xing replied, "Who would carry such a treasure around? There's no need for it at all. I never lie."

Yu Shenxing was too lazy to talk to this madman anymore. He had only thought that the man was crazy, but he never expected that he was also a shameless liar.

“Fellow disciples, I understand the matter. Go back and don’t worry about such people. I will report this to the sect. There’s no need to waste words with them.”

Yu Shenxing pushed the wheelchair, preparing to leave with his people.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xing became unhappy and shouted, "Don't go! No one is leaving until my innocence is cleared! You slandered me, and now you people from the Yunlu Immortal Sect are just going to leave like this? How can I let you off?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shenxing immediately became furious.

This guy's unreasonable and shameless behavior—does he really think his Yunlu Immortal Sect is easy to bully?!
Yu Shenxing said angrily, "You surnamed Yu! I don't want to waste my breath on you. You and I both know who's right and wrong. If you keep making trouble, don't blame me for not giving Tianxin Island any face!"

Yu Xing said even more angrily, "This is outrageous! You've clearly wronged me, how dare you be so self-righteous? Fine, I'll see how you dare to disrespect me. You dare to kill me unjustly?!"

Yu Shenxing squeezed the armrest of his wheelchair, and countless runes appeared, transforming into dozens of golden longbows that automatically drew their bows, nocked arrows, and aimed at the Mirage Sect members.

Yu Xing strode forward with his neck stiff, looking fearless and undaunted.

The other disciples of the Mirage Sect panicked and hurriedly grabbed Yu Xing. They didn't have the cultivation level of the Profound Realm and didn't want to die with Yu Xing.

At this critical moment, when the arrow was about to be released, Fang Zhixuan wiped his sweat and walked up to Yu Shenxing, bowing respectfully and saying, "Brother Yu, please calm down. It's just a misunderstanding; there's no need to kill anyone. Brother Yu, you are at the Tongxuan Realm. If this gets out, people will say you're bullying the weak, which will damage the reputation of the Yunlu Immortal Sect. This matter is due to the poor hospitality of Tianxin Island. All compensation will be sent immediately. Please give me some face, okay?"

Yu Shenxing naturally couldn't pierce Fang Zhixuan's body with the golden arrow, so he had to withdraw his spell. Then he said to Fang Zhixuan, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. This matter has caused you trouble because of my Yunlu Immortal Sect. My junior brothers have bad tempers. I will discipline them strictly when I get back. Today... never mind, I don't want to say any more. Let's rest first."

Yu Shenxing cupped his hands in greeting to Fang Zhixuan, and then left with several of his junior brothers.

Yu Xing was still trying to speak, but his fellow disciples covered his mouth tightly.

Yu Xing wasn't afraid, but they were. If a fight really broke out, how could they possibly defeat Yu Shenxing? They might not lose their lives, but having their arms and legs broken wouldn't be pleasant either.

Moreover, in their view, this whole thing was caused by Yu Xing's big mouth. They had already done a great favor by not saying anything earlier, and they didn't want to get beaten up because of this idiot.

Yu Xing regained his freedom only after the people from Yunlu Immortal Sect left.

But he seemed to have suffered a great injustice, pointing at several fellow disciples and saying, "You guys can't distinguish right from wrong, you're scared to death just from being threatened, you're simply cowardly and incompetent!"

After saying this, Yu Xing ignored everyone else's expressions and angrily left alone.

Chen Ye had been secretly observing until Yu Xing left, then he used his mind to say to Chen Guang, "Let's go back."

Chen Guang asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't we follow him and see? Since this person lied, he might be the culprit, and maybe he's the one who poisoned him?"

"No." Chen Ye refuted Chen Guang's conjecture and replied, "Although this person is despicable and stubborn, he should be innocent this time. There's no need to follow him. The mastermind behind this is probably just waiting for him to be alone so they can take him into custody."

"Shouldn't we chase after them even more?"

"No, if we chase after them and get discovered, the mastermind will know I'm on guard. I'm not sure how many people are behind this, what if it's just one of them targeting Yu Xing? Let's stay hidden. I'll go have a drink with Fang Zhixuan later, and we can have the people from Zhuguang Baoqilou track Yu Xing down."

"If I'm not mistaken, tonight, not only me, but all the disciples of the five major sects will be 'taken care of' by that mastermind. We should prepare as soon as possible."
