A thrilling crisis of poisoning and countermeasures was thus easily resolved by Lin Xuan through a dramatic compromise.

Inside the hall at this moment.

Only three people remained.

Lin Xuan walked to Ning Zhongze's side.

The voice became gentle again.

"Sister Ning."

Lin Xuan looked at Ning Zhongze, who was still somewhat in a state of shock, and comforted her and made arrangements.

"You saw what happened tonight."

"The Kunlun Sect leader He Taichong and his wife have long been secretly colluding with this Mongol. Not only have they become traitors who betrayed the Central Plains martial arts world, but tonight they are also cooperating with this princess to try to poison me with deadly poisoned wine."

Lin Xuan's gaze was deep and cold. "They didn't come back to check immediately. He Taichong is probably feeling guilty now and may have already hidden somewhere."

"These traitors must not be allowed to live!"

"Don't panic, and don't worry about these trivial matters. Just pretend that nothing happened tonight, go back and get a good night's sleep."

Lin Xuan gently patted Ning Zhongze's shoulder and gave her a reassuring look.

"Wait until tomorrow morning. As soon as it's light, I will personally announce the Kunlun Sect's collusion with the Mongols."

"I will rightfully take down this chief villain of the Kunlun Sect! All those Kunlun Sect disciples who have deeply colluded with the Mongols, whether elders or disciples, will not escape and will all receive the most severe punishment!"

Hearing Lin Xuan's well-organized arrangements.

Ning Zhongze nodded calmly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ning Zhongze obediently agreed.

She had always had unwavering faith in Lin Xuan's ability to handle affairs, this great hero who fought against the Mongols.

But when she shifted her concerned gaze away from Lin Xuan...

She then scrutinized Zhao Min, who stood to the side, still radiant.

"What about her?"

Ning Zhongze's tone carried a hint of sour jealousy.

"What do you intend to do with this cunning and esteemed princess?"

"This woman is a dangerous person; she just tried to kill you!"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Lin Xuan laughed heartily, his gaze sweeping freely over Zhao Min's curvaceous and alluring figure.

"Since we agreed to leave her as a hostage in exchange."

"Then this delicate and beautiful princess will naturally be under my close supervision for the next few days!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's explanation...

Ning Zhongze felt extremely resentful!

"Close supervision?!"

Ning Zhongze gritted her teeth and spat inwardly!

"You audacious little thief! It's precisely because you, this lecherous scoundrel, are in charge that I feel a hundred times uneasy!"

Ning Zhongze could only let out a deep sigh.

She gave Lin Xuan one last, fierce glare with a complex, resentful look.

Then he turned around cleanly and returned to his quiet room in the guest courtyard.

Chapter 331: Cleansing Kunlun

The next morning, the snow stopped.

The Kunlun Sect's spacious square was already packed with people, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

All the hundreds of disciples of the Kunlun Sect, as well as the Huashan Sect members who were staying here, were urgently summoned here.

On the high platform in the center of the square.

Lin Xuan, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as cold as knives.

Standing beside him was Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect, whose face was full of righteousness and who was also slightly excited.

Behind Lin Xuan stood a beautiful young woman with an indifferent expression.

"Everyone!"

Lin Xuan's clear voice, driven by his profound inner strength, resounded like a great bell in everyone's ears.

"I have gathered you all here today to announce a shocking scandal that concerns the very survival of the martial arts world!"

Lin Xuan's gaze slowly swept over the Kunlun disciples below the stage, whose faces were filled with doubt and unease.

"Your sect leader, He Taichong, and his wife, Ban Shuxian! This hypocritical couple, who appear virtuous, have actually long since secretly sided with the Mongols and become traitors to their ancestors!"

These words caused an uproar in the entire square!

"What? The sect leader has defected to the Mongols?"

"How could this be? Master He has always been highly respected, how could he become a traitor?"

The vast majority of ordinary Kunlun disciples were filled with disbelief, whispering among themselves, thinking it was nonsense.

However, there was also a small group of He Taichong's loyal confidants among the crowd.

Their faces were deathly pale, and they were sweating profusely!

They naturally knew that He Taichong had already made connections with the Mongols, and that He Taichong had even privately promised them many benefits of wealth and honor.

but!

They never dreamed that He Taichong and his wife would abandon them so shamelessly last night without even saying goodbye, only caring about running away!

"quiet!"

Lin Xuan snorted coldly, and an invisible, powerful pressure instantly silenced the entire arena.

“I know many of you find this hard to believe.”

Lin Xuan pulled out a thick stack of letters from his pocket and held them high.

"These are the letters I found last night in the secret compartment of He Taichong's private room! They clearly record the top-secret correspondence between the couple and the Mongols, as well as their vicious plan to use the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects to cause heavy casualties in the Central Plains martial arts world!"

"Not only that, but last night they even set up a poison trap to try and kill me in order to silence me! After their plot was exposed, the two of them fled overnight to escape punishment!"

Lin Xuan casually tossed the letters to Yue Buqun, who was standing to the side.

Yue Buqun took the letter, quickly flipped through a few pages, and immediately a look of heartache and righteous indignation appeared on his face.

"Fellow martial artists! Young Master Lin's words are absolutely true!"

Yue Buqun sighed loudly, "These He Taichong and his wife deserve to die! Such heinous traitorous acts are simply disgrace to the martial arts world, and everyone should kill them!"

Lin Xuan's reputation was already at its zenith in the martial arts world; he was a great hero who had thwarted Mongol plots several times. In addition, he had the personal endorsement of Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect.

More importantly, He Taichong and his wife have indeed mysteriously disappeared, with no trace of them, neither alive nor dead.

Such irrefutable evidence leaves no room for doubt from anyone.

"As the martial arts inspector, I have the authority to make decisions regarding the various sects in the martial arts world!"

Lin Xuan's gaze suddenly locked onto He Taichong's henchmen who were trying to slip away in the chaos, his murderous aura palpable.

"Whoever I say is a traitor colluding with the Mongols, that is who they are! No matter what sect or faction they belong to, they will be severely punished!"

"Men! Seize those henchmen of He Taichong!"

Hearing this domineering pronouncement filled with the power of life and death.

Knowing they were doomed, those trusted confidants, in desperation, drew their weapons and tried to break through the encirclement in a desperate attempt to survive!

"Want to go?"

Lin Xuan didn't even use his lightness skill; he simply stood casually on the high platform.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and flicked them lightly in the air several times.

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

Several sharp and incomparable invisible sword energies, like cruise missiles with eyes, instantly traversed a distance of dozens of feet!

It accurately struck the pressure points of those trusted experts who attempted to resist!

"Ah! My leg!"

"it hurts--!"

There is no suspense.

Those experts who were just moments ago so aggressive instantly collapsed to the ground like limp shrimps with their tendons pulled out, screaming in agony. Their weapons fell from their hands, and they were no longer able to resist at all!

This kind of terrifying martial arts is as easy as taking something out of a bag.

All the Kunlun and Huashan disciples present gasped in astonishment, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Lin Xuan.

"Sect Leader Yue."

Lin Xuan turned to look at Yue Buqun, naturally passing the buck on this mess.

"The Kunlun Sect is currently leaderless. As for those remnants who colluded with the Mongols, we will have to trouble you, the highly respected head of the Huashan Sect, to stay in the Kunlun Sect and assist in cleaning up the sect and stabilizing the situation. We will leave the subsequent rectification and appeasement matters to you."

Hearing that Lin Xuan would entrust him with such a tremendous opportunity to greatly enhance his reputation in the martial arts world!

Yue Buqun was overjoyed!

This is hardly a chore.

This is clearly the perfect stepping stone for him to accumulate prestige and capital!

"Young Master Lin is truly righteous! I, Yue, will certainly do my utmost to live up to your trust! I will never let any traitor from the Central Plains escape!"

Yue Buqun beamed with joy and respectfully accepted the task.

In this process.

Whether they were disciples of the Kunlun Sect or members of the Huashan Sect, their gazes involuntarily fell repeatedly on Zhao Min, who stood behind Lin Xuan.

The woman was not wearing any jewelry.

But that face was just too beautiful!

Especially her noble air.

She was clearly a stunning beauty, but her eyes were indifferent, scrutinizing everything around her with a sharp, razor-like gaze.

Although she stood obediently behind Lin Xuan, the arrogance emanating from her very bones made everyone present feel a strange sense of oppression.

Who is this woman?

Everyone secretly speculated.

Lin Xuan naturally noticed the gazes of everyone.

He gave a wicked smile and casually replied:

"Oh, this girl is a maid I just took in at the foot of the mountain. Everyone, please don't mind her."

Upon hearing the word "maid".

Ning Zhong, however, was filled with resentment.

She scoffed inwardly, "That's easy for you to say! What maid? I'd say she's more like your new bed warmer, you little thief!"

Lin Xuan's perfunctory explanation.

Although everyone present felt that this woman was definitely not a maid, no one dared to ask any further questions because of Lin Xuan's terrifying strength and prestige.

Only Zhao Min herself.

Upon hearing the words "newly acquired maid".

A hint of shame and indignation flashed in her dark, jet-black eyes.
