Chapter 475

The crowd fixed their gaze and saw that it was a wrinkled old face, his eyes wide open in death, still holding a trace of disbelief.

Someone immediately recognized who the old man was, and their expressions changed.

"Isn't that the Half Moon Sect's Supreme Elder Di Hongguang?"

Half Moon Sect is one of the top sects of the First Continent, on par with Heavenly One Sect and Peerless Sect.

At this moment, the Sect Leader of Half Moon Sect and others also arrived, their expressions changing in shock.

The Half Moon Sect Leader instinctively looked toward Ying Tian Immortal Venerable, "Ying Tian Immortal Venerable, this is……"

He arrived late, unaware of what had just happened, so he instinctively thought that Ying Tian Immortal Venerable had killed their Half Moon Sect's Supreme Elder.

After all, Supreme Elder Di Hongguang is also one of the Immortal Venerables of the cultivation world, his title being Hong Guang Immortal Venerable.

Ying Tian Immortal Venerable's expression was cold, and he said nothing.

But after sensing that the crowd's reaction was off, the Half Moon Sect Leader shifted his gaze to Xie Zi Xu and Yuan Yao.

Xie Zi Xu understood he needed to explain the situation; he was about to speak when he saw Yuan Yao step forward.

"I'd like to ask, who is this old man? He bullies the weak with his strength, uses his age to oppress the young, cornered me in this alley, and demanded I hand over my contracted beast. Naturally I refused; he wanted to kill me and take my contracted beast. Even after I gave my master's name, he didn't stop this insane behavior!"

"This old man is truly a scum of the cultivation world!"

"Shut up!" the Half Moon Sect Leader snapped, his face grim.

Yuan Yao snorted coldly, "And who are you? Surely you're not in league with this dead old man, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd's expressions turned slightly odd.

Yuan Yao looked around and said loudly, "This old man, disrespectful due to his age, wanted to kill and seize treasure, but we turned the tables and killed him. You tell me, was I right or wrong?"

Yet none of the onlookers dared to speak.

After all, speaking up now would offend the Half Moon Sect.

The Half Moon Sect Leader sneered, "Now that Hong Guang Immortal Venerable is dead, you take advantage of the chaos to tarnish his name, trying to shift blame? Hah, what a silver-tongued lass. Seize her, throw her into the heavenly prison first, then interrogate!"

Several Half Moon Sect Elders, upon hearing this, immediately moved toward Yuan Yao.

At that moment, two figures swiftly stepped in front of Yuan Yao.

They were Ying Wuji and Xie Zi Xu.

Ying Wuji's expression was cold and stern, "Everything my junior sister said is true, word for word."

"I can testify." Xie Zi Xu spoke.

The Half Moon Sect people naturally knew Xie Zi Xu.

The Half Moon Sect Leader narrowed his eyes, "Xie Zi Xu, you are also suspected of murdering Hong Guang Immortal Venerable; you too shall be thrown into the great prison!"

Upon hearing this, an Elder of Peerless Sect immediately changed expression, "Sect Leader Half Moon, our Zi Xu has no grudge nor enmity with Hong Guang Immortal Venerable; why would he kill him? I see the truth is just as this little girl said: Hong Guang Immortal Venerable wanted to kill and seize treasure, and was thus slain in retaliation."

"Exactly, if Hong Guang Immortal Venerable had a clear conscience, why would he act while wearing a mask?" Another Peerless Sect Elder chimed in.

Following that, the Peerless Sect Elder clasped his hands and said respectfully, "Ying Tian Immortal Venerable, please uphold justice for us."

"I have something to say!" Yuan Yao pushed aside the two people blocking her, first bowed to Ying Tian Immortal Venerable, then, under everyone's gaze, she said coldly, "If we wanted to kill that old man, why would he have trapped us in a spatial domain?"

She turned her head, giving a half-smile, and looked at the Half Moon Sect Leader, "Sect Leader Half Moon, what do you think the reason is?"

The Half Moon Sect Leader's face turned black.

How could that be?

Naturally, he wanted to silently kill and seize treasure.

Just then, the Carefree Sect's Sect Leader Bai Li Mo, Second Elder Zong Rao, and Song Yan also arrived, quickly figuring out the situation.

They were greatly alarmed.

Bai Li Mo exclaimed in shock, "Little Yao, you even took down an Immortal Venerable?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Rao roughly grabbed his arm.

"Cough… cough cough!" Bai Li Mo suddenly broke into a cough, his thick brows and large eyes showing an unnatural hue for a moment.

Ying Tian Immortal Venerable slowly said, "Alright, first properly lay to rest Hong Guang Immortal Venerable's body, then we can discuss."

This statement gave both sides a way out.

A lofty Immortal Venerable actually hid his face sneakily, then ruthlessly attacked juniors just to seize another's contracted beast.

Not only did he fail to obtain it, but he was instead beheaded by a junior with a single sword.

If this gets out, it will be a disgrace.

It also damages the reputation of all Immortal Venerables in the cultivation world.

Upon hearing this, the Half Moon Sect Leader nodded slightly toward Ying Tian Immortal Venerable, then immediately sent people to tidy up Hong Guang Immortal Venerable's corpse.

Before leaving, the Half Moon Sect Leader gave Yuan Yao and Xie Zi Xu a cold, gloomy glance.

At this moment, a group stepped out from the onlookers; aside from the few leaders, the remaining young disciples wore black tight-fitting uniforms, overall neat and capable, they respectfully greeted Ying Tian Immortal Venerable: "Greetings, Ancestor."

Ying Tian Immortal Venerable nodded lightly.

Meanwhile, the young man in green robes turned his head to look at Ying Wuji.

The green-robed young man had a handsome, jade-like face, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, his features five or six parts similar to Ying Wuji's, and he looked no older than twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

"Wuji." The green-robed young man's expression was stern, seeming unapproachable, he called out.

Ying Wuji also lifted his head to gaze at the green-robed young man, pressed his lips, and performed a bow with clasped hands.

"Father."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled.

"Come with me." The green-robed young man, that is, the current head of the Ying family, Ying Wei Xian, said in a deep voice.

Ying Wuji lowered his head slightly.

Yuan Yao keenly sensed something; she turned her head to look at her youngest senior brother, only to see him about to step toward the Ying family's direction.

But after taking two steps, he stopped, turned his head, and said to Yuan Yao, "Yao Yao, you go back with the Sect Leader and the others."

「Youngest Senior Brother... 」 Yuan Yao felt uneasy in her heart, she felt that the Immortal Venerable Ying Tian appearing here must be related to her own Youngest Senior Brother.

The Youngest Senior Brother perhaps knew that he himself had encountered danger, so he asked them to have the Ying Family's elder ancestor come out to help……

Upon thinking of this possibility, Yuan Yao felt a strong sense of guilt.

At this moment, the Immortal Venerable Ying Tian stared at Yuan Yao, "Are you the unfettered Junior Sister?"

"Yes." Yuan Yao replied.

The Immortal Venerable Ying Tian surveyed the surroundings with a blank expression, and said: "Where are the other few of the Thousand Mountains Six Children?"

"Here here!" Cang Li raised his hand.

The Immortal Venerable Ying Tian said: "Since you have come to the First Continent, as hosts, the Ying Family should give you a warm welcome."

"Thank you, elder ancestor!" Cang Li said with a beaming smile.

The Immortal Venerable Ying Tian's expression slightly stiffened; he hadn't expected the other party to be so overly familiar.

The Thousand Mountains Six Children were invited away by the Ying Family.

But before Yuan Yao left, she glanced back at Xie Zuxu and sent a voice transmission to him: "Your injuries are serious; you can't delay any further—go find a doctor quickly."

Xie Zuxu watched her retreating figure, his gaze deepening a few degrees, and he lowered his eyes.
