Chapter 38: The Truth Revealed

At this moment, the atmosphere in the medical room was somewhat heavy.

Several cultivators gathered together and started chatting.

They didn't avoid anyone, nor were they afraid of being heard, guessing and discussing who the real murderer was. Some believed Li Yi, feeling that He Jun was fabricating facts, while others felt there were loopholes in Li Yi's words; if He Jun had really done that, it was impossible for him to be so severely injured.

Of course, there were also those who felt that both He Jun and Li Yi were not clean, and both wanted to sabotage each other, but Li Yi was more skilled and returned safely.

"The grudge between the two of them is not important. The point of this matter is whether He Jun really harmed the two assistants by his side," a cultivator said very rationally. "Because both He Jun and Li Yi are still alive, the fact of sabotage is not established, but those two assistants really died in the Danger Zone."

"That's right. Their personal grudge is not important, but the fact that two cultivators were harmed to death must be investigated clearly. Otherwise, who would dare to enter the Danger Zone together in the future?" Many people immediately nodded in agreement.

"Now we are just waiting for the evidence in Li Yi's mouth. Once the evidence comes out, the truth cannot be falsified."

Li Yi, sitting on the hospital bed, heard these chat contents with a normal expression, unmoved.

He also knew that although he was framed by He Jun, as long as he didn't die, no one would care, and it was impossible for anyone to stand up for him. That's why he had just shifted the topic and led this matter to the other two deceased cultivators.

Because this matter concerned everyone's interests. If the person who harmed his teammates was not severely punished, they wouldn't feel at ease handing their backs to others in the future.

"Is he here?"

Suddenly, Li Yi heard footsteps walking toward this side. He immediately put down his phone, stood up from the hospital bed, and looked at the door.

Other cultivators also heard the movement and stopped discussing one after another.

The door of the medical room was opened.

Yang Yi Long walked in with a serious expression. Just by scanning with his eyes, an invisible sense of oppression rushed toward them, making people feel a chill in their hearts and not dare to underestimate him. Behind him, an assistant sent in the corpse of a *biao* and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the medical room.

"I didn't expect Yang Yi Long to really come." Seeing this, He Jun's expression instantly became nervous, and his heart beat wildly uncontrollably.

But he forced himself to be calm, his expression normal.

"Which one is Li Yi?" Yang Yi Long opened his mouth slowly.

"I am." Li Yi walked forward.

Yang Yi Long looked him over slightly and first asked with concern, "How are your injuries? Are there any major issues?"

"Your medical conditions here are very good. I just had a full-body physical examination. I have no problems," Li Yi said.

"That's good. Your performance in this Danger Zone operation was extremely outstanding. You actually hunted this *biao* with your own hands. Among the Spirit Medium Realm cultivators I know, no one is more outstanding than you," Yang Yi Long nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation of Li Yi.

"If I didn't fight, I would have died. I was just lucky that my potential exploded and I beat this fierce beast to death," Li Yi said modestly.

Yang Yi Long said, "Very humble, not bad."

Then his tone changed and became exceptionally cold. "He Jun, come here."

He Jun also stood up at this moment. He walked over with the help of a nurse and said, "Mr. Yang."

Other cultivators saw this and also gathered around one after another. They knew that there would be a result for this matter today.

"He Jun, I have heard about the matter between you and Li Yi. I came here this time to clarify this matter and give justice to the two deceased cultivators." Yang Yi Long stared at He Jun, his pupils shrinking, and they unknowingly turned into vertical pupils.

At this moment, He Jun seemed to have become prey, stared at by a terrifying fierce beast.

If it weren't for the nurse supporting him, he would have been soft all over and unable to stand steady.

"He Jun, answer me in front of me: were the two assistants by your side really harmed by you?" Yang Yi Long shouted, his voice deafening.

He Jun already had a ghost in his heart. Although he had pretended to be calm before, now that he was shocked like this, his face turned pale immediately. His lips moved slightly, wanting to fabricate a reason to explain, "I, I..."

Yang Yi Long raised his hand. "You don't need to be in a hurry to answer. I, Yang Yi Long, also have an inescapable responsibility for this trip to the Danger Zone turning out like this. If I could have successfully solved that transcendent creature and retreated early, then none of this would have happened."

"So I, Yang Yi Long, must also bear the main responsibility for the deaths of those two cultivators. But one thing is one thing; whether they were killed by a fierce beast or harmed by someone, this matter must be clarified. He Jun, if this matter was really done by you, admit it now, and I, Yang Yi Long, can give you a chance."

"But if the stomach of that *biao* is peeled open and evidence is taken out, then I, Yang Yi Long, will never spare you."

He Jun's expression changed. He looked at Yang Yi Long, then at the fierce beast corpse in front of him, and fell into a dilemma.

Should he admit his crime straightforwardly, or grit his teeth and take a gamble?

Soon.

He Jun made a decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Yang, I really didn't harm those two people. I have a clear conscience now. That Li Yi is talking nonsense and wants to slander me. The group of monsters behind me was lured by him. If it weren't for you, Mr. Yang, saving me at the critical moment, I would never have been able to leave the Danger Zone alive."

"I absolutely don't believe there is any so-called evidence in the corpse of this *biao*."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to believe it himself, suddenly becoming aggressive, staring at Li Yi, very indignant, as if his innocence had really been slandered.

"This guy..." Li Yi's face sank.

He understood that He Jun was gambling, gambling that no evidence could be found in the *biao*'s corpse.

If he won, he would become the murderer who slandered others, and he would instantly turn the tables and become an innocent victim.

If he lost... anyway, this He Jun wouldn't lose anything, after all, he really harmed people.

Li Yi understood now that it was useless for him to say anything, and he could only wait for the result.

"Dissect and test," Yang Yi Long said immediately.

Supervisor Xu Ming immediately arranged for a doctor to start dissecting the corpse of this *biao* in front of everyone, and at the same time, nurses went to the rooms of the two deceased to find some hair and other things for testing and comparison.

Soon.

As the sharp scalpel cut open the corpse.

The smell of blood permeated.

A mass of undigested flesh and blood was taken out. This mass of flesh and blood had been digested seven or eight times, but samples could still be extracted.

At the same time, the nurses also successfully retrieved the hair left by the two deceased in their rooms.

"Mr. Yang, please wait a moment. It will take about ten minutes to get the result," the doctor said.

"Alright, bring the report over immediately after the result comes out," Yang Yi Long said.

The doctor immediately took the nurses to work. With perfect medical equipment, it actually didn't even take ten minutes. He just said a longer time for the sake of insurance.

At this moment.

Everyone was silent, quietly waiting for the result to appear.

He Jun was lying if he said he wasn't nervous now, but he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He could only fight Li Yi to the end, either turning the tables in a desperate situation or being disgraced and becoming a murderer.

"Damn it, how could things turn out like this step by step? I finally managed to come back alive, why does this Li Yi still want to go against me at the end? He wants to destroy me. No, I can't sit and wait for death like this. I must think of a way."

He clenched his fists, his heart extremely angry.

But besides anger, He Jun was still thinking about what way to deal with the current situation.

Should he just run away?

At worst, enter the abandoned city and be a scavenger, and come back after the wind blows over.

But with so many people staring here, and Yang Yi Long here, he couldn't escape at all.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll take that Li Yi as a cushion even if I die. I must not let that guy go," He Jun thought viciously in his heart.

Li Yi, at this moment, didn't know that He Jun was becoming evil from the side of his gall, intending to take him as a cushion after the incident. Now his mood was also very restless.

Because he himself couldn't be sure that what the *biao* ate was the two deceased cultivators.

So Li Yi was also taking a risk. If he couldn't produce evidence, he would also be quite passive.

Everyone continued to wait.

Only eight minutes passed.

The doctor who had left earlier walked over quickly with the report. "Mr. Yang, the result is out. After testing, the undigested flesh and blood in the stomach of this fierce beast has been confirmed to be consistent with the hair brought back from the room."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other cultivators were stunned.

It was really the same as what Li Yi said. This He Jun used the lives of two cultivators to drag down the fierce beast and ran away himself.

"Li Yi, I'll kill you!" The last bit of luck was shattered. He Jun was completely crazy at this moment. He roared, his eyes glowing, and an eye-strike went straight toward Li Yi.

"Buzz!"

Li Yi was caught off guard and felt dizzy for a moment.

But as a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator, he wasn't afraid of eye-strikes at all. After just a trance, he recovered his sobriety and was completely fine.

But just as Li Yi recovered his sobriety, He Jun's figure had already rushed in front of him.

Obviously, He Jun's eye-strike was just to interfere with Li Yi, thereby creating an opportunity to strike.

Li Yi's eyes constricted sharply, then he exerted force from the ground, raised his arm, and threw a punch almost instinctively.

"Li Yi, be careful! He has a scalpel in his hand!" Someone exclaimed, but the reminder was a bit late.

At such a close distance, a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator fighting for his life was hard for an ordinary person to react to.

"Seeking death."

However, at this moment, a thunderclap exploded on the ground, and a wild wind rolled up around them. Yang Yi Long's tall and straight body had moved horizontally, as if teleporting. His speed was so fast that afterimages appeared in people's vision. Then, only Yang Yi Long's right arm was seen raised and falling.

Although it did not substantially touch He Jun's body, an unimaginable scene appeared.

Fresh blood gushed and splashed, and He Jun's body disintegrated in mid-air, actually being torn into two halves directly.

Facing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.

Everything happened too fast, so fast that they had just reacted, and He Jun, who had rushed out, was dismembered by a mysterious force.

"What is that... a sword?" At this moment, Li Yi's pupils constricted sharply, and the punch he threw missed, failing to hit He Jun.

He saw an astonishing aura entwined around the right arm of Yang Yi Long, who was standing on the side, and it emitted a terrifying light that flashed and extinguished. Although this light was not particularly bright, it was condensed and did not dissipate, brilliant and gorgeous. At first glance, it looked like a glowing precious sword held in his hand.

This sword had no physical form, but it made people feel a palpitating sharpness.

"I have eyes but no pupils, actually inviting such a beast." Yang Yi Long was very angry at this moment. He was not only deceived, but this He Jun also lived up to the kindness he had given him.

If He Jun had admitted his evil deeds before, he would have punished him severely at most, and would never have taken his life.

But now, He Jun not only harmed two teammates to death but also wanted to attack Li Yi after the truth was revealed.

If he didn't kill him for this, he, Yang Yi Long, would be as ridiculous as a clown. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
