The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

After Dan Wang understood the ins and outs of the matter, he also understood why Chi Miao had called him out.

When he heard it, he could more or less sense that this matter might really be related to him.

Outside the circle lies the territory of the demon race, and even powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcending stage might not be able to save their lives if they go there.

A normal person, unless they have a serious mental illness, would never risk going outside the circle, unless they have a compelling reason to do so.

Nine Swords Mountain, outside the circle... most likely because of the fatal technique he left behind.

He looked at everyone and said, "If they are going to find the Mysterious Nether Grass, then this matter... must be because of that cultivation technique."

Yun Yao's body trembled: "Mysterious Nether Grass?"

Her tone, her eyes—no need to say more…

Case solved!

Dan Wang lowered his head, gritting his teeth: "I'm sorry... it's all my fault back then..."

Chi Miao: "Stop. Let's not play the victim now. To put it nicely or not to put it bluntly, some of the troubles are inextricably linked to the Heavenly Sword Sect itself. Instead of getting hung up on who's to blame, let's find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Anyway, the Heavenly Sword Sect will be destroyed sooner or later."

She didn't shy away from saying this to Yun Yao, who, despite being easily deceived, was fundamentally an upright person.

Some things don't need explanation; she understands them herself and won't gossip based on what Chi Miao said.

Their Heavenly Sword Sect...

They've done too many things that deserve retribution.

Yun Yao closed her eyes, and a single tear rolled down her cheek.

Chi Miao squatted down in front of the Pill King: "Then, can your cultivation technique possess others?"

Dan Wang shook his head: "This really has nothing to do with me. Although I am immoral, I am not that immoral. I would never do something like possessing someone else's body."

Chi Miao nodded, believing Dan Wang's words.

"Could they be demons?"

Ying Wuhuo also shook his head: "The demons' methods aren't that sophisticated."

Everyone: "?"

That's an insult to the devil.

Ying Wuhu shrugged, his eyes lowered, as if he had remembered something.

He said, "The demons have always been brutal and eat humans. Even though humans now have the power to fight back, they still consider humans to be just food."

"Demons enjoy personally torturing and killing humans, and... once a human is confirmed dead, they will devour them immediately."

Chi Miao stroked his chin: "If that's the case, then the demons are quite frugal with food. If the demons were to switch to a vegetarian diet, they must be born with a divine body for farming."

Everyone: "..."

Is your focus really that weird?!

And how could demons possibly become vegetarians?!

Ying Wuhuo remained silent for a while: "In short, if it were the work of the demons, they would not have chosen such a sophisticated method as possession; they probably don't have the brains for it."

The demon race is powerful, but all demons are mentally deficient.

Only a very small number of high-ranking demons possess normal intelligence.

Jin Shengfei suddenly blurted out, "Could this also be a staged event orchestrated by the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

His words shocked everyone!

They all looked at Jin Shengfei with strange eyes.

Jin Shengfei's eyes widened, looking completely innocent: "Wh...what's wrong? I...I just feel that even though it was clearly the three of them killing each other, and none of them would say anything, why did the Heavenly Sword Sect insist that Senior Brother Rong Yue killed Senior Sister Yun Mo?"

Everyone gasped.

"Wow, Jin Shengfei, you've really struck a chord today!" Chi Miao burst out laughing. "This might sound unlikely at first glance, but coming from your mouth, it's not necessarily true."

Everyone has witnessed the power of Kim Sung-fei's jinx.

In a sense, Jin Shengfei is indeed a chosen one, and his enlightenment is also a matter of fate.

When Jin Shengfei says something, it's worth thinking about!

"Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Sect has always had a low moral standard and is extremely hostile to our Nine Swords Mountain."

"My master and Senior Brother Rong Yue were both geniuses among geniuses. If they hadn't met with misfortune back then, Nine Swords Mountain would have definitely risen to prominence... But they both met with misfortune, and Nine Swords Mountain was overshadowed once again."

"Thinking about all of this carefully, you know what, you really have to admit!"

And just then...

Yun Yao, who was standing to the side, clenched her fist and shouted, "Impossible!"

Then everyone turned their attention back to her.

They didn't dare to speak.

Indeed, they reasoned so deeply that they forgot to consider Yun Yao's feelings.

If these events are indeed orchestrated by the Heavenly Sword Sect as they claim, it would be devastating for Yun Yao.

Her eyes were red and her voice was trembling:

"I admit my dad's a scoundrel, he's no good!"

"But no matter what, he and my mother were husband and wife, how could he... how could he do such a despicable thing?"

"He kept telling me how deep and true his love for my mother was, and that sometimes he was afraid to see me because I looked somewhat like my mother, and that seeing me would easily make him sad."

"Besides, the two sects are practically sworn enemies. If they weren't truly devoted to each other, how could they have come together?!"

Her voice was somewhat muffled.

Jin Shengfei wanted to say something more, but Chi Miao stopped him.

Chi Miao shook her head.

Some of these beliefs are what Yun Yao has held onto until now. If these beliefs were to collapse, Yun Yao would probably crumble completely.

Moreover, everything is just speculation right now, and no one has any evidence to prove that this was orchestrated by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

If the truth were ever true, it would be a huge blow to Yun Yao. If she could withstand it, she would rise from the ashes; if not…

Her fate was similar to that of her brother.

"I'm sorry... I... I lost my composure."

Yun Yao wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Chi Miao stared at her and asked, "So, do you want to know the truth? Or... do you have the courage to face the truth? Although some of this may be unpleasant to hear, this is all I can tell you..."

"What Jin Shengfei says, even if it has no logic or reason, is very likely to come true."

Although it's abstract, everyone's cultivating immortality, so those who understand will understand.

Yun Yao spoke almost without hesitation, her eyes resolute: "Investigate! We must get to the bottom of this... No matter what the truth is, I refuse to be a fool who can be manipulated by others any longer!"

Chi Miao laughed: "I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Although Yun Yao is easily trusting of others, ultimately it's because she's never really been noticed.

Unlike those with the surname Wen, she is not easily offended.

"However, it's a bit difficult to find out whether the Heavenly Sword Sect orchestrated this whole thing."

This is really difficult.

Yun Yao shook her head: "No, this might have been very difficult before, but now... I have a plan. I'm willing to betray my father for the truth!!"

Chi Miao: "Huh???"

Everyone: "Huh???"

what?

Sister, are you really that filial and righteous?!

What if the Heavenly Sword Sect comes to judge them and says they corrupted Yun Yao?

Heaven and earth can bear witness, they didn't say anything!!

Chi Miao: "Then...then tell me why there's a way now?"

Yun Yao: "Because..."
