"Peak Master Jiang Song, greets the Sect Leader."
The ceremony and etiquette were flawless.
Qing Tian looked at him for a long while.
Narrowing his eyes
"Jiang Song, you’ve truly opened my eyes."
Hearing this, Jiang Song felt a mont of panic,
"Sect Leader, ever since the battle at Guan Ning Valley, I’ve always found the death of Liang Yunyue suspicious, so I’ve been investigating. To my discovery, it was her cousin, Liang Lanyi, who devoured her sister’s Golden Core. And she deliberately frad it on Demon Sect Leader Su Yan."
Qing Tian listened, raising his eyebrows as he scrutinized Jiang Song intently.
This man who he once thought could inherit the position of Sect Leader in the future.
Since when had the person in his mory turned into this beast in human skin before him?
Capable of twisting the truth into lies, and cleanly pushing away his part in the evil deeds.
Qing Tian tried to rember carefully but to no avail.
He spoke out
"You say it was Liang Lanyi who killed Liang Yunyue, but Liang Lanyi’s cultivation is shallow. How could she kill a Peak Master?"
Jiang Song smoothly replied
"At that ti, Peak Master Liang was seriously injured and had no power to fight back, she could only be at the rcy of Liang Lanyi."
"What were you doing at that ti?"
"I was battling a two-headed python and had already passed out."
"Hmm? That doesn’t seem right. On that day at Guan Ning Valley, you said you watched helplessly as the Demon Sect Leader took away Liang Yunyue’s Golden Core. It was only because you were seriously injured and just happened to be near that python that you weren’t discovered by that demon."
Jiang Song pondered for a mont, then nodded
"Right, perhaps I mistook Liang Lanyi, who was covered in blood that day, for that Demon, as I was unconscious. After all, I never would have guessed that Liang Lanyi would be ruthless enough to kill her own cousin."
The mont the words fell, Qing Tian chuckled, a very cold laugh
"I never realized I had been raising a cold-blooded, murderous wolf, and what an eloquent one at that."
Jiang Song looked up at Qing Tian.
Qing Tian spoke
"I ordered soone to find Liang Yunyue’s body, and on it was a dagger with the character ’Song’ engraved on it, which is the one I gave to you when you joined Qingyu Mountain."
Jiang Song was taken aback.
Qing Tian sneered
"Don’t tell that this dagger was taken by Liang Lanyi from you, and then she used it to kill Liang Yunyue."
Jiang Song did not speak, because based on his understanding of the Sect Leader, he knew for sure that there would be more evidence.
As expected, Qing Tian continued
"Before Liang Yunyue died, she used the last of her cultivation to leave a ten-second soul record. Would you care to take a look?"
At this, Jiang Song was completely frozen.
How could he have forgotten about this?
At their level of cultivation, one could practice a Secret Technique from Qingyu Mountain that allowed them to extract a wisp of soul at the mont of being grievously hard, as long as there was a trace of power within the body, preserving the images seen before death, waiting to be discovered.
This ability was known as a soul record.
Jiang Song clenched his fists, looking at Qing Tian with eyes bloodshot with fury
"I did nothing wrong. That Demon has killed countless people and deserved to die. Adding one more death to her tally is insignificant. And this Liang Lanyi, she indeed devoured her cousin’s Golden Core, a selfish and self-serving person like her deserves to die too. I have acted in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, where is my fault?"
Listening to his absurd words, Qing Tian was incredulous.
Jiang Song was about to continue speaking.
In front of Qing Tian, Feng Yu appeared from the horizon.
Still in a robe of green, the image of aloof nobility.
But between his brows, there was no longer the usual dispassionate and desireless deanor.
