Chapter – 10
Unworthy Disciple, You Actually Had an Affair with the Little Demoness?
“Hmm… Brother Chen Xuan, I never expected that even after you self-detonated your ninth-grade golden core, your skills in bed are still so formidable! I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to… ah, so wonderful!”
“Little demoness, stay down… I’ll send you to the heavens…”
At the Punishment Hall of the Haoran Sword Sect.
A Sound-Retaining Pearl was activated, emitting such sounds…
“Unworthy disciple, you have secretly been involved with Nangong Feifei of the  Infinite Demon Sectâdo you confess your crime?”
Ji Yaoyue questioned coldly, her long hair flying in fury, her rage blazing like fire!
But Chen Xuan stood tall and straight as a pine, neither humble nor arrogant: “What kind of evidence is this crap? Everyone knows that the Little Demoness and I are sworn enemies. If you’re going to frame me, at least pick a more suitable woman, wouldn’t you?”
At this moment, his mood was as nauseating as if he had been screwed over by a dog.
To frame him, certain people were becoming increasingly unscrupulous!
“Presumptuous! Chen Xuan, you show no respect for your eldersâdo you want an additional charge? Kneel and confess your crime!”
Grand Elder Tong Chui of the Enforcement Hall bellowed, slightly releasing his aura at the Spirit Transformation realm.
Immediately, the powerful pressure caused blood to trickle from the corner of Chen Xuan’s mouth!
His bones creaked under the immense strain, his Nine Yang Battle Body enduring tremendous pressure.
Yet!
Chen Xuan still stood with his head raised high, his spine ramrod straight!
This sight drew exclamations of admiration from the surrounding Haoran Sword Sect disciples…
At the same time, streaks of light poured into the spacious Punishment Hallâthey were representatives of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates who had come to attend the Holy Son celebration.
These people buzzed with discussion, clearly having come upon hearing the news.
Many were gleefully watching his downfall!
Chen Xuan!
These two words had weighed upon the heads of the younger generation of the righteous path in the Central Region like an unmovable sun.
Now, was he finally about to be cast into the abyss?
Just then, Ji Wushuang suddenly stepped forward!
He spoke with disappointment: “Senior Brother, you used the despicable Resurrection Yang Pill to ruin Senior Sister Ruyan’s reputation! She attempted suicide and has yet to recover from life-threatening danger…”
“That aside! How could you have dealings with that demoness from the demonic path? Do you not know how cruelly theæ æ Demon Sect harms the people of this world? Are you worthy of the title Holy Son?”
His righteous tone and compassionate words instantly ignited the anger of everyone present toward Chen Xuan.
And Ji Yaoyue, playing along perfectly, also berated him: “Unworthy disciple! You are an accomplice to evilâtruly! Wicked! Beyond! Measure!…”
She emphasized every word, her voice harsh and severe!
This joint interrogation by master and disciple was practically a final verdict, sentencing Chen Xuan to death.
But upon hearing this, Chen Xuan suddenly laughed.
He gazed at Tong Chui and asked: “Elder Tong Chui, they say seeing is believing! Since when can a Sound-Retaining Pearl serve as solid evidence?”
Tong Chui remained expressionless and said slowly: “Naturally, it can.”
Chen Xuan was taken aback, then burst into loud laughter.
“Excellent! Then I’ll have someone make a Sound-Retaining Pearl too, with nothing but Ji Wushuang’s voice and the sounds of dogs barking. I’ll claim that Ji Wushuang lusts after a dog’s beauty and torments it daily until it howls in misery, and I’m here to seek justice for it… Would you accept that, Elder?”
The scene fell into dead silence!
No one expected Chen Xuan to come out with such “startling and outrageous” remarks!
Ji Wushuang’s face instantly turned green, his whole body trembling, nearly exploding with rage on the spot!
“This!…”
Tong Chui’s lips twitched repeatedly, utterly speechless.
But the crowd erupted in laughterâthe cultivators from the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates all burst out laughing heartily.
This drama was getting more and more entertaining!
“Utter nonsense! Chen Xuan, you are absolutely outrageous!”
Ji Yaoyue scolded, flicking her sleeve and sending Chen Xuan crashing to the ground, spitting blood.
She looked down upon him and said coldly: “A useless cripple who has lost all his cultivationâyou should be grateful just to stand here! How dare you spew such filthy slander against Wushuang? Do you deserve it?”
“Master, please show mercy! Senior Brother only fell into wrongdoing with that demoness out of temporary confusion! Please give him a chance to reform!”
Ji Wushuang quickly spoke up, his face full of sincerity as he pleaded.
But his seemingly merciful words only served to solidify Chen Xuan’s guilt…
Truly sinister!
The four senior sisters also spoke up, mocking Chen Xuan and pitying Ji Wushuang.
In their eyes, Chen Xuan’s disrespect toward their junior brother was like a mangy pig-dog barking at a divine dragon!
Chen Xuan slowly rose to his feet, wiped the blood from his mouth, and straightened his spine once more!
His eyes were deep and cold, unfathomably dark!
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, their faces growing more solemn.
Chen Xuan then swept his gaze across the room and said mockingly: “In that Sound-Retaining Pearl, the Little Demoness said that even after I self-detonated my ninth-grade golden core, my skills in bed were still formidable…”
“Then let me ask all of youâhow could a cripple with no spiritual power possibly pass through the sect’s mountain-protecting grand array to secretly meet with a demoness?”
The scene fell completely silent!
Everyone was dumbfounded…
That’s right!
The words in that Sound-Retaining Pearl didn’t make sense, did they?
Zhao Caiyue sneered: “Who said you had to leave the sect? Couldn’t that demoness have snuck into our Haoran Sword Sect to fornicate with you?”
But the very next moment, a gaunt old man snorted coldly and slapped out with his palm from midair!
He roared: “Presumptuous! We are charged with guarding the sectâhow could we allow any demonic scoundrel to sneak in without knowing? Are you questioning our negligence?”
“Ah!…”
Zhao Caiyue cried out in pain, knocked to the ground, her cheek instantly swelling red.
She wanted to retort in anger, but a look from Ji Yaoyue frightened her into silence.
Chen Xuan was also amused by his senior sister’s stupidity.
Then he continued: “So… Grand Elder Tong Chui, is this Sound-Retaining Pearl real or fake?”
“Well…”
Grand Elder Tong Chui was left speechless!
Cultivators from the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates were all present, and although he had received some implicit instructions from the Sect Master, he couldn’t go “too far.”
So, Grand Elder Tong Chui could only say grudgingly: “It seems now… this pearl is likely fake! Holy Son Chen Xuan, you have been wronged in this matter…”
“And just a ‘wronged’ is the end of it? Who submitted that Sound-Retaining Pearl? Framing the sect’s Holy Son is a grave crime! Punishable by death!”
From the crowd, Dugu Xie of the Xuanhuo Sect crossed his arms and directly raised the question.
Everyone was stunned, never expecting Dugu Xie to speak in Chen Xuan’s defense.
This man had a fierce and domineering temperament, had been defeated by Chen Xuan several times, and the two were rivals…
Even Chen Xuan was startled, casting a grateful glance at Dugu Xie.
It’s easy to add flowers to brocade, but hard to send charcoal in the snow!
“Well…”
Grand Elder Tong Chui hesitated, subconsciously glancing at Ji Wushuang.
Then he said reluctantly: “This Sound-Retaining Pearl was left by a mysterious person. As it now appears, someone indeed was trying to frame Holy Son Chen Xuan! I failed to investigate properly…”
