Chapter 87: Shameless vs. The Old Six

"How overbearing, Great Hall Master of the Punishment Hall?"

Seeing Si Tianyong destroy evidence in public, Yan Qingxuan could not help but sneer aloud.

Upon hearing this, Si Tianyong turned his head to look.

His brows furrowed slightly, "Yan Qingxuan, I already gave you face regarding that matter in the Outer Sect before; do not push your luck!"

"And what if I do push my luck?" Yan Qingxuan's figure flickered as she blocked in front of Wang Jianqiang.

"You destroyed evidence in public; are you not afraid of being mocked by the disciples of the sect if this gets out?"

Si Tianyong's gaze flashed, "I have already said, that was forged evidence."

Yan Qingxuan sneered, not arguing with him further, and remained standing in front of Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing this, Si Tianyong's expression turned cold, "So, you are determined to oppose me to the end for the sake of this person?"

"You can think of it that way," Yan Qingxuan stared at Si Tianyong and said solemnly.

Si Tianyong shook his head, "You are too arrogant; you simply do not understand the gap between the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage."

As he spoke, Si Tianyong pressed his palm forward.

The space around Yan Qingxuan suddenly became viscous, making her unable to move even an inch.

"You cannot stop me!"

Si Tianyong scoffed and took a step forward.

The space beneath his feet rippled like water, and his figure vanished instantly.

The very moment Si Tianyong disappeared, an invisible force descended.

The space in this area suddenly began to tremble.

The next moment, Si Tianyong's body, which had just merged into the space, was forcibly squeezed out by the turbulent space.

Immediately following, a voice arrived.

"She cannot stop you, but what about me?"

As the voice traveled, a woman suddenly flashed into view beside Yan Qingxuan.

The woman was beautiful and charming, with a graceful figure; she was quite striking.

"Master!"

Seeing the woman, Yan Qingxuan was stunned and hurriedly bowed.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the woman in surprise.

Is this the master of Yan Qingxuan and Dong Yue?

The woman nodded to Yan Qingxuan, then looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, not expecting the latter to respond.

Unexpectedly, after seeing his smile, the beautiful woman actually revealed a friendly smile and nodded at him as well.

Finally, the beautiful woman looked at Si Tianyong, her gaze turning cold.

"How about we let today's matter rest here?"

"Let it rest here?" Si Tianyong laughed in anger upon hearing this, "Shangguan Yurou, you say that quite easily; it isn't your son who died."

Shangguan Yurou sighed, "What will it take for you to let this matter rest?"

Si Tianyong looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Kill him!"

As the icy words were spoken, his gaze pierced toward Wang Jianqiang like two sharp arrows.

Before the attack arrived, a powerful pressure had already locked onto Wang Jianqiang, making him unable to dodge in the slightest.

Just then, Shangguan Yurou flashed and appeared in front of Wang Jianqiang, waving her hand to block the strike.

"It seems you are not prepared to let this end peacefully today!"

Shangguan Yurou stared at Si Tianyong, took a deep breath, and a look of gravity flashed in her eyes.

She and Si Tianyong were both at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

If they truly fought, she had no certainty of victory.

Of course, neither did Si Tianyong.

Just as the two were confronting each other and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out, a light laugh suddenly arrived.

"Hehe, what a lively occasion this is."

"Si Tianyong, I would also like to have a hand in today's matter; I wonder if you are willing to give me this face?"

Amidst the melodious laughter, a woman in a colorful dress drifted over.

The woman had a tall figure and exquisite features.

Although she looked young, her aura was not the least bit weaker than Si Tianyong's or Shangguan Yurou's.

"Aunt, you've finally arrived."

Seeing the woman, Mu Lingxi waved her hand, a look of joy flashing across her face.

"You girl, if I hadn't appeared, my Sound Transmission Talisman would have been flooded by your messages."

The woman glared at Mu Lingxi.

"Mu Lingxi, this girl, really does have a formidable background."

Wang Jianqiang looked at this woman who bore some resemblance to Mu Lingxi, revealing an expression that was as expected.

"Mu Yutong, you want to interfere in this matter too?"

Si Tianyong looked at the woman whom Mu Lingxi called Aunt and pointed his finger at Wang Jianqiang, "This child committed slaughter against fellow disciples within the sect and violated sect rules; you are blocking me from enforcing the law—are you not afraid of me reporting this to the Ancestor?"

Hearing the words "Ancestor," Shangguan Yurou and Mu Yutong's gazes flashed simultaneously.

"Violated sect rules?"

Mu Yutong chuckled, "Great Hall Master Si, don't think you can fool me just because I arrived late."

"Hasn't this little brother already proven it?"

"That Si Nantong committed countless evils; the little brother was merely rooting out a pest for the sect. This is clearly a virtuous deed."

"He should be rewarded, shouldn't he?"

Si Tianyong sneered, "Mu Yutong, everything must be based on evidence. You keep saying Si Nantong committed countless evils, but where is the evidence?"

Mu Yutong frowned, "Si Nantong's Residual Soul has already been destroyed by you."

"What a joke. I did indeed destroy a Residual Soul, but on what grounds do you claim it was Si Nantong's?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Mu Yutong's face.

This Si Tianyong was clearly trying to welsh on the deal, relying on the fact that there was no proof left!

On the other side, seeing this, Shangguan Yurou also frowned.

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Um... I actually still kept a copy of the evidence."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at Wang Jianqiang simultaneously.

Joy appeared on the faces of Shangguan Yurou and Mu Yutong, while Si Tianyong's expression turned gloomy.

Under the gaze of the three, Wang Jianqiang calmly took out a round crystal.

Inside the crystal, scenes were playing out.

It was precisely the scene of Wang Jianqiang holding Si Nantong's Residual Soul and displaying the contents of its memories, and it even included the scene of Si Tianyong destroying the evidence afterward.

"I didn't expect you to have prepared an Image Recording Stone."

Mu Yutong gave Wang Jianqiang an appreciative look, then turned to Si Tianyong, "Si Tianyong, what do you have to say for yourself now?"

Si Tianyong fell silent upon hearing this.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in his eyes without warning.

The Image Recording Stone in Wang Jianqiang's hand shattered instantly.

"Now, the evidence is gone!"

He looked at Mu Yutong and Shangguan Yurou, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.

"You~"

"A dignified Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator actually resorting to such despicable acts!"

Mu Yutong and Shangguan Yurou clearly had not expected Si Tianyong to be so base.

Caught off guard by his success, their expressions turned ugly at the same time.

Just at this moment, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again.

"Um... sorry to interrupt."

"I have plenty of Image Recording Stones on me. These things cost ten Spirit Stones each; they aren't worth much. If the Elder likes them, feel free to continue."

Hearing this, the three were stunned and looked over again.

They saw that another Image Recording Stone had appeared in Wang Jianqiang's hand.

Inside the Image Recording Stone, not only was the content of the previous one present, but it had also recorded the scene of Si Tianyong sneaking an attack to shatter the stone right in front of Mu Yutong and Shangguan Yurou.

The image finally froze on Si Tianyong's triumphant smiling face.

Seeing this scene.

Si Tianyong's expression instantly turned gloomy.

The triumphant smiling face frozen inside the Image Recording Stone felt like a slap, fiercely striking his face.

It made his face feel a burning sensation.

"Little brother, you act with great caution. I admire you."

Mu Yutong had been quite angered by Si Tianyong, but at this moment, she felt a great sense of relief.

Looking at Wang Jianqiang, she found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

Shangguan Yurou was much more composed.

While guarding against Si Tianyong destroying the evidence again, she said coldly.

"Si Tianyong, what else do you have to say?"
