A great calamity

  Autumn lost consciousness for a much shorter time than those people imagined, and when they took out the cold iron chains and ropes to tie her up, Autumn had already regained consciousness.

  The pain in her arm was intense, and Qiuqiu struggled to suppress it, but her body involuntarily twitched slightly due to instinct. Those people didn't notice at all. Even if they had noticed, they would have thought it was because she was tied too tightly.

  Her mind was still a bit dizzy, after all, the blow to the back of her neck could have broken her cervical vertebrae if it had been any harder. Even for cultivators who had already established their foundation, a broken neck would be fatal.

  The pain in her arm quickly brought her back to consciousness.

  Why are they out to get her?

  Qiu Qiu almost suspected they weren't people from their sect, but in less than a second she overturned this idea.

  No, these people are from the same sect as her, they are fellow disciples.

  Why did they target her? What has she done to deserve such a grand reception from these people, who even waited for her to leave the house before making their move?!

  A group of seniors, with a generation gap in between, Autumn was the youngest and most junior disciple in the sect. Why did these people resort to such despicable and vicious means?

  They carried autumn, of course not very careful, walking fast, and occasionally rubbing against each other. Autumn squinted her eyes and distinguished that this was the road to the main peak. She had been to the main hall once before and remembered the path.

  What's going on that requires going to the main hall?

  In the main hall, many people were already standing. The one sitting at the top was naturally the leader, Yu Qing Zhen Ren. Next to him sat several elders, and Yu Shui Zhen Ren sat in the second chair on the right side. The person sitting in the first chair was someone that Qiu Qiu had not seen before, but she could guess who it was.

  The one who can sit on top of Yu Shui Zhen Ren's hand should be Shi Bo Yu Xiang Zhen Ren from Bi Bo Peak.

  Those people brought Autumn into the main hall, and the leader cupped his fists and bowed to report: "Reporting to the Master, Autumn has arrived."

  Yu Qing's eyes scanned the scene and he asked in a low voice, "What happened to her?"

  "The disciple was afraid that the demon would escape, so he used a bit more force."

  Monster? Akane was stunned for a moment before realizing that this monster referred to her!

  What a joke! She's grown up so big and has never even seen what a demon looks like, how can she be saddled with such a huge black pot on her head? The array in front of me is actually for a three-hall trial!

  Yu Qing nodded and said, "Still need to ask questions, wake her up."

  Qiu Qiu woke up early, but it wasn't until now that she could open her eyes.

  The elder with the horizontal eyebrows and a stern expression said, "You dare to run to our Liushui Sword Sect and cause trouble! Confess honestly, how did you kill those seven sect disciples? How many accomplices do you have? If you confess truthfully, I'll spare your life and leave your corpse intact. Otherwise..."

  Qiu Qiu was pressed down on his knees, coughed twice: "I didn't do it, and I'm not some kind of demon."

  "Do you still want to deny it?"

  "Don't shed tears until you see the coffin, give her a taste of the bitter."

  Qiu took a deep breath and said loudly: "Catching thieves and recovering stolen goods, what evidence do you have to say that I killed someone?"

  "A cold snort came from the right: 'You were the last one to enter the library the day before yesterday, if it wasn't you who killed Jinghai, then who was it? You even dug out his heart and ate it, yet you still dare to pretend to be innocent!'"

  "Qiu Qiu was shocked: 'How could Jing Hai Shixiong have died?'"

  "Cut it out!"

  "My senior brother was fine when I left two days ago!"

  "Who can prove it?"

  Qiu Qiu was shocked and angry, how could Master Jinghai be dead? He had clearly intended to give her a gift - Qiu Qiu had originally planned that after this matter passed, even if she didn't accept the gift, she would still properly thank him for his kind intentions.

  There isn't a single person in the hall who speaks up for her. Qiuqiu looks at each of them one by one, from the sect leader to the elder, Yu Shui and Yu Xiang, the two masters, as well as Jing Yuan and Jing Lan standing behind Yu Shui Zhenren. They all remain silent, as if they had never recognized her before.

  "Why bother talking to her anymore? Just kill her!"

  "This is a frame-up! The road to the library isn't just one way, even Qinghai Shixiong himself can ride his sword over, after I left someone else must have gone to the library. Besides, Qinghai Shixiong has already established his foundation, how could my little bit of cultivation possibly harm him?"

  Someone had already grabbed Qiū Qiū and was about to drag her out, but the elder on the left raised his hand, and Qiū Qiū was put down again.

  "Yu Shui is your apprentice's junior sister. She was brought back by you and has been living on your Lotus Peak all along, yet you didn't notice anything unusual?"

  Yu Shui Zhenren wasn't one to be trifled with, and immediately shot back: "What do you mean, Wei Changlao? Are you saying I'm covering for her? Everyone saw it last time we tested everyone, if she had already been possessed by the demonic energy, the testing stone pillar wouldn't have recognized her as a disciple of our sect."

  "It's hard to say. Even if it wasn't that time, the other day when you sent her down the mountain, didn't your three disciples also go down? If she had been possessed by demonic energy at that time, I'm afraid your three disciples would have also been tainted. We all know that demons can't pass through the protective array of the mountain unless they are attached to a disciple of our sect."

  Yu Xiang Zhenren apparently also grasped the handle of Yu Shui Zhenren: "Not bad. This girl should be killed, but your disciple must also be carefully interrogated, it's possible that all three are her accomplices!"

  This pulled Jing Yu and Qing Lan into the water together, and Yu Shui Zhen Ren's face changed instantly.

  Qiuqiu was brought up the mountain by him, and this responsibility cannot be escaped. He just wanted to quickly resolve the matter, but Yu Xiang and Wei Changlao took advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack, it seems that they want to get rid of both Jingyuan and Jinglan together.

  Jingyuan was his first disciple, Yuanshui Zhenren valued him so much, regarded him as the successor of his robe and bowl. If it is said that there is anyone on Lianhua Peak who can compete with the main peak's Jingyue in terms of length, it is only Jingyue. How could Yuanshui Zhenren sit back and watch Jingyuan being harmed by others?

  It's not just Yuxiang and Wei Changlao who have this idea, Yu Shui Zhenren subtly glanced at the sect leader Yu Qing Zhenren sitting at the top - he definitely wouldn't sit back and watch Jingyuan threaten his disciple's position, taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

  "Jing Yuan has never been left alone, under the eyes of Zhang Yang Zhen Ren, how could there be any evil spirits sneaking in? Do you want me to invite Zhang Yang Dao You over as a witness too? That would make this matter known to everyone, do we still want to maintain the dignity of our sect?"

  This remark undoubtedly won Yu Xiang Zhen Ren a victory.

  It's alright, matters within the sect can be covered up even if blood flows like a river, but since this matter is related to Zhangyang Zhenren, it's not suitable to pursue Jingyuan further.

  But to let Lianhua Peak escape like this, Yu Xiang Zhenren would never be willing.

  Although Jing Hai was a disciple he didn't value much, Yu Xiang Zhen Ren couldn't just sit and watch him being dug out of his heart to die in such a miserable way.

  He will definitely make Yu Shui Zhenren pay the price!

  "Jingyuan is not the only one who has fallen, what about others? What about your other two disciples?" Yu Xiang Zhenren pointed to Qiuqiu on the ground: "This little girl hasn't said anything wrong, with her limited skills, wanting to kill Jinghai isn't a simple matter, she definitely can't do it alone, there must be an accomplice." Yu Xiang Zhenren's gaze moved from Jingyuan's body to Jinglan's: "Your disciple, wouldn't have been under Longyang Zhenren's nose from start to finish, right? Ah, and then there's a little one, called Jingfei?" He didn't wait for Yu Shui Zhenren to refute before ordering: "What about the little girl from Lianhua Peak?"

  Someone immediately responded: "Just let her wait outside earlier, with Master Wei watching."

  "Bring her in too."

  It seems like autumn is coming now.

  The demons can't bypass the mountain protection formation and sneak up the mountain, so they must have attached themselves to the disciples' bodies to get up. Recently, only four people have come down from the mountain: Jingyuan, Jinglan, Jingfei, and her.
