328. Chapter 328: My Word Is the Evidence!

The Yan Realm, at the foot of a massive volcano.

The crimson earth, like a giant canvas, was smeared by magma and volcanic ash into a suffocating, purgatorial scene. The air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur, a choking scent that felt like a breath from the depths of hell.

In the distance, towering volcanoes rose from the ground, their silhouettes distorted and warped in the scorching air, resembling a group of dormant, ancient behemoths.

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently, and a deafening roar tore through the sky. The nearest volcano erupted abruptly, and the scalding magma, like an angry dragon spitting fire, shot straight into the clouds.

At this moment, in the open space before the Ancestral Hall, the surrounding atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

Gu Fei's words just now were like a heavy bomb, exploding in everyone's hearts.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the Elder named Huo Xiong, and there was much discussion; if what Gu Fei said was true, then the Yan Clan would likely be in an uproar today!

At this moment, Huo Ling Xianzi's beautiful eyes had lost their focus; she was just staring blankly at Huo Xiong.

That's right!

This Huo Xiong had always been highly respected in the Yan Clan; now that he was suddenly identified as a spy by Gu Fei, it was truly hard to adjust to.

Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan exchanged a glance, a trace of unease flashing in their eyes.

If Huo Xiong were truly a spy for the Soul Clan, it would be a massive blow to the Yan Clan.

Given Huo Xiong's status, having been in the Yan Clan for so many years, who knew how many of the Yan Clan's secrets he had leaked? The other Yan Clan members looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt and confusion.

Some even began to whisper, and the entire scene suddenly became noisy.

"Elder Huo Xiong has always worked diligently for the clan; how could he be a Soul Clan spy?"

"That's right, he is an Elder who has guarded the Ancestral Hall for many years; if he were really a spy, wouldn't he have stolen the Ancient Jade long ago?"

"Although Young Master Gu Fei is famous, he cannot slander our clan's Elder without any proof!"

The crowd's discussions rose and fell, clearly holding a skeptical attitude toward Gu Fei's accusation.

In fact, this was not surprising, after all, how long had this Huo Xiong been in the Yan Clan?

Conversely, Gu Fei had just arrived at the Yan Clan and pointed at someone, calling them a spy.

Even if there were some discussions, it was within reason.

Seeing this, Huo Xiong felt slightly more at ease. He took a deep breath and looked at Gu Fei, feigning composure.

"Young Master Gu Fei, isn't it going too far to accuse me like this? I have served the Yan Clan faithfully for many years; how could I be a Soul Clan spy? Do you have any evidence?"

Huo Xiong's voice carried a hint of anger.

As soon as Huo Xiong's voice fell, the surrounding clansmen also chimed in one after another.

"That's right, Young Master Gu Fei cannot just slander people out of thin air, can he?"

"Isn't it a bit too much to accuse an Elder like this without evidence?"

"Our Yan Clan is not to be bullied!"

Facing everyone's questioning, Gu Fei was not flustered in the slightest.

At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Gu Fei's handsome face, and his gaze, like a torch, looked at Huo Xiong. The moment Huo Xiong met Gu Fei's gaze, he instantly dodged it, feeling guilty.

"Heh, then I'd like to see how long you can remain calm!"

Gu Fei's tone carried a hint of playfulness, as if he had already seen through everything.

"Huo Ling Xianzi, these matters, I will leave to you to arrange!"

Gu Fei turned slowly and said to Huo Ling Xianzi. After speaking, Gu Fei turned to leave. These discussions were naturally within Gu Fei's expectations.

However, since he had already found the spy, he naturally would not waste any more time on the investigation. If the Yan Clan did not take it seriously themselves, then no matter how much Gu Fei worried, it would be useless.

Moreover, he had no obligation to prove anything to this group of people, nor did he have any obligation to help them eliminate anyone. Besides, he was tied to the safety of several clans; how could he have time to pay attention to these comments?

However, just as Gu Fei was about to step away, Huo Xiong was clearly panicked. His burly body trembled slightly, and the composure on his face vanished in an instant.

"Don't go, you haven't produced the evidence yet!"

Huo Xiong's voice carried a hint of anxiety, and he stepped forward quickly, wanting to stop Gu Fei.

Gu Fei turned abruptly, his gaze like lightning, shooting straight at Huo Xiong. In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and a suffocating pressure filled the air.

The next moment, a terrifying pressure capable of changing the color of the world erupted from within Gu Fei's body.

"Boom!"

It was as if this were not an ordinary sound, but the roar of the laws of heaven and earth being shaken.

The entire Yan Clan territory instantly fell into a deathly silence; even the wind stopped blowing, leaves froze in mid-air, and birds held their breath.

This kind of power had already transcended the boundaries of the mortal world. Gu Fei seemed like a god descended from the nine heavens, looking down on all living beings, impossible to look at directly.

In the golden light, Gu Fei's eyes were like two scorching suns, shining brightly; anyone who looked directly at them felt their soul tremble. His hair moved without wind, his robes rustled, and he himself was like the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth.

"My word is the evidence!"

Gu Fei's voice was not loud, yet it contained supreme majesty.

This simple sentence exploded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears, echoing for a long time in the depths of their souls.

The terrifying pressure, like a monstrous wave, swept out in all directions with Gu Fei as the center.

In an instant, the air within a radius of several miles solidified, forming a massive vacuum zone.

The ground began to crack, forming spiderweb-like fissures that spread into the distance. The distant mountain peaks trembled slightly under this pressure, as if bowing in submission to this powerhouse.

Countless Yan Clan members involuntarily took a few steps back under this pressure. Even Huo Ling Xianzi, Huo Zhi, and the others had their expressions change. Huo Xiong was even more ashen-faced, his legs trembling uncontrollably. That burly body seemed as if it would collapse at any moment under Gu Fei's pressure, and beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence, and everyone was stunned by the strength Gu Fei displayed.

It was not that Gu Fei specifically wanted to suppress these people with his cultivation.

It was just that such a trivial matter really did not deserve any further explanation from Gu Fei. After a long while, Huo Ling Xianzi finally came to her senses.

"Young Master Gu Fei, rest assured, we will definitely investigate thoroughly!"

Huo Ling Xianzi's voice carried a hint of respect; she had clearly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Gu Fei nodded and withdrew the pressure. He took one last look at Huo Xiong and turned to leave.

As Gu Fei left, the crowd looked at one another, their eyes flashing with complex light.

At this moment, the crowd finally realized that Gu Fei's words were absolutely not groundless.

With Gu Fei's current status and strength, he would never shoot without a target.

The Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan had no need to come to the Yan Clan to frame an Elder he had never met. "Elder Huo Xiong, please come with us. We need to conduct a thorough investigation."

Huo Ling Xianzi took a deep breath, her gaze landing on Huo Xiong. Upon hearing this, Huo Xiong's face instantly turned deathly pale.

At this moment, this fellow likely understood that it was impossible for his identity to remain safely hidden. (End of chapter)
