Yun Jin seemed as though she hadn't seen the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
She raised her brows and finally had the Heart-Questioning Mirror play Duan Yiwei's image.
As the leading figure of Qingxiao Pavilion's generation, compared to the others, Duan Yiwei was even more frenzied, his methods even more vicious. In the illusion, he even took pleasure in torturing mortals. When finally facing the Demon Clan, he directly cooperated with them. If not for this display, who could've known that such a person would actually be a disciple of Qingxiao Pavilion?
Qingxiao Pavilion.
Originally, everyone in Qingxiao Pavilion had been cursing madly, shouting one after another that they would go and settle accounts with Yun Jin.
But.
After watching Duan Yiwei's projection, the scene inexplicably quieted down.
Everyone turned in unison to look at Lin Xiao.
No one had expected that Wushuang Sect's Heart-Questioning Staircase would suddenly add this level. No one had expected that Yun Jin would release all these images.
Five Qingxiao Pavilion disciples, all five had problems.
This was no longer something that coincidence could explain.
The other three holy lands would definitely demand an explanation.
What should they do?
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, seeming to contemplate something. Around him, faint wisps of black qi emanated.
But everyone in Qingxiao Pavilion didn't seem to see it, or rather, they were already used to it.
"Sect Master, this matter likely cannot be resolved peacefully," someone said, a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
Qingxiao Pavilion.
From top to bottom, a trace of hostility faintly appeared in everyone's eyes.
Upon closer inspection.
One would find that each of them was wrapped in a faint, barely perceptible strand of demonic qi.
This Qingxiao Pavilion, at some point, had its entire sect contaminated with a layer of demonic qi!
Lin Xiao's gaze was icy.
At present, these were merely images.
These events hadn't truly occurred.
He could claim that Yun Jin had tampered with them.
There would still be room to maneuver.
Right now, they mustn't act rashly.
"Do not panic," Lin Xiao said coldly. "I have my own plans."
Lin Xiao appeared calm, and everyone gradually steadied themselves.
Lin Xiao looked indifferently at Yun Jin's irritating face in the projection.
Yun Jin.
Very good.
This time, he had truly, thoroughly, and deeply remembered this person.
Had he known earlier.
When he went to Tianxing Sect, he should've disregarded everything and killed Yun Jin with a single palm strike, sparing today's events!
But who could've imagined that a mere disciple from a mid-tier sect back then would find Wushuang Sect's true inheritance and inherit everything from Wushuang Sect!
Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos.
And Wushuang Sect.
That damned sect, even when destroyed, wouldn't let him live in peace!
Canglan Kingdom, the capital.
The projection filled the sky, everyone in the capital scrambled to watch.
At first, they were merely astonished and envious.
But later, the Heart-Questioning Mirror played those scenes.
On the side of the four holy lands, they didn't care about the disciples' performances in the first two levels. Even if their behavior was somewhat improper, it didn't matter. They themselves had never regarded mortals or ordinary cultivators highly. What they cared about most was always the disciples' performance in the third level.
But here, it was different.
Most of those watching were mortals and low-level rogue cultivators.
In the first two levels, they watched those from Qingxiao Pavilion slaughter and kill recklessly within the illusion.
Although those weren't real people, to them, it was a real illusion.
For so many years, they had regarded the four holy lands as sacred places and their disciples as gods.
But now, those they had viewed as gods had never regarded them as anything.
What were they to these people?
Pigs and dogs?
Tools?
Ants?
A trace of grief and indignation flashed in many people's eyes.
They felt aggrieved.
But in a world where the strong devoured the weak, their grievance could change nothing.
The next time they met these holy land disciples, they would still have to be respectful.
Yet in their hearts, something was no longer the same.
This was territory governed by Qingxiao Pavilion.
Yet the true faces of Qingxiao Pavilion's disciples were actually like this.
Slaughtering living beings, colluding with demons.
Shouldn't they receive some punishment?
Or, because they were disciples of a holy land, could it simply be brushed aside?
The once noisy capital, at this moment, showed an eerie silence.
They had many things they wished to say.
But.
That was Qingxiao Pavilion.
What could they do?
Ordinary people like them didn't even dare to utter a single word!
They couldn't help but look worriedly at Yun Jin in the projection.
This woman had exposed Qingxiao Pavilion's disgrace, wouldn't she encounter trouble?
Wushuang Sect.
Yun Jin extended her hand.
The Heart-Questioning Mirror obediently returned to her palm, she casually put it away and calmly asked, "Now tell me, should these people be kneeling or not?"
Jin Yu snorted coldly and said directly, "Naturally they should."
He coldly looked at the disciple from Kunlun Sword Sect.
Yun Jin had only made him kneel.
If it was up to him, he would've wanted to strike him dead with a single sword.
Colluding with demons!
This was utterly disgraceful!
How could such scum appear among the sword cultivators of Kunlun Sword Sect!
Even if he wasn't killed now, upon returning, it would be reported to the sect master, and he would be executed.
"Junior Sister Yun can rest assured…" Ye Liuqin was about to speak.
An Tong poked his head out, "My little master has completed the ceremony. You may address her as Sect Master."
Ye Liuqin paused, then readily corrected herself, "Sect Master Yun, regarding these two disciples, Xuandan Sect will definitely handle the matter. You may rest assured."
Cheng Su also said, "Beast Taming Sect will never shield those who collude with demons."
As for the people from Qingxiao Pavilion…
Yun Jin smiled slightly and suddenly lifted the restraints on Duan Yiwei and the others.
The moment Duan Yiwei and the others broke free, they immediately launched killing moves at Yun Jin!
Yun Jin narrowed her eyes.
Duan Yiwei and the others still didn't know she was now at the peak of Soul Transformation Stage.
If she was still at Nascent Soul Stage, it might've indeed been somewhat troublesome.
But now…
Yun Jin smiled.
She didn't even draw Tai'a Sword, and merely cast a cold glance at them.
Deterrence, activated.
Their movements froze midair.
Yun Jin beckoned.
Azure lightning descended.
Shock appeared on Duan Yiwei and the others' faces.
The lightning fell.
Their bodies and souls were annihilated. In the end, from each of them, a strand of black qi drifted out.
That was…The aura of a demon.
The expressions of Jin Yu and the others immediately changed.
Yun Jin was also a bit surprised.
She had thought Qingxiao Pavilion might've been influenced by some demonic artifact over a long period of time, gradually causing their temperaments to change.
But if it was only influence, how could demonic qi be present on them?
Moreover, this demonic qi had been hidden so well that it wouldn't emerge unless they were killed.
Could it be that there were members of the Demon Clan within Qingxiao Pavilion?
Living alongside demons for years, and perhaps subjected to some method by the Demon Clan, which resulted in this hidden tacit understanding.
Yun Jin frowned.
She still knew too little about the truth of this world.
For now, she couldn't deduce the specific situation. She could only temporarily collect these strands of demonic qi as evidence, to be used in the future.
