Chapter 954: Diverting the Disaster Eastward

Upon hearing Mu Kui's words, before Wen Tiansheng could speak, the Sacred Palace Palace Master, who had remained silent until now, had their expression change instantly and said coldly, "You want to perform Soul Searching? Fine, go search the others; my sect's Disciples will not accompany you."

Soul Searching causes immense damage to the Soul; once performed, the one being searched will surely become an idiot even if they do not die.

Their path of cultivation would be completely ruined.

Among the thirteen people, Sacred Palace Disciples only account for five.

Out of dozens of geniuses, only a mere five remain!

Is it easy to cultivate a genius?

She was already feeling immense heartache, never expecting that this Mu Kui would actually propose such an excessive request.

Is he even human?

If Wen Tiansheng took it seriously and chose her Sacred Palace Disciples, what then?

Wen Tiansheng cast a look of reassurance toward the Sacred Palace Palace Master.

Then, with a cold sneer, his gaze swept over the other survivors, "Wen has the same sentiment; want to perform Soul Searching? Those people will do as well."

Seeing Wen Tiansheng's gaze sweep over the genius Disciples their side had managed to bring back with such difficulty, the expressions of the various big shots also changed.

"The method of Soul Searching is too vicious; unless absolutely necessary, it must never be used."

"Indeed, it is better to wait a while longer."

"Once everyone has come out, there will naturally be a conclusion; there is no need for Soul Searching."

……

The various big shots all revealed expressions of compassion.

In their hearts, they were already cursing.

The Nascent Soul Stage heaven-chosen of this generation in the Eight Continents are about to be wiped out.

It is already very difficult for them to have one or two genius Disciples luckily escape back.

How could they be willing to let them out to be subjected to Soul Searching?

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Mu Kui's expression faltered.

"Daoist Friend Mu, please calm down."

Qi Tongtian shook his head, then waved his hand to lift the sealing of the five senses on Yaoguang and the others, speaking indifferently, "You may step back first."

Upon hearing this, Yaoguang and the others flashed their figures and returned behind Wen Tiansheng and the Sacred Palace Palace Master respectively.

Afterward, everyone continued to wait.

Time flowed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

During this period, not a single person returned.

Qi Tongtian's expression gradually turned ugly.

From the mouths of the portion of people who had walked out earlier, he had learned that Yuwei was still alive and had saved some geniuses from Outside the Realm at the hands of the Cultivators of Wenxian City.

Under normal circumstances, Yuwei should have come out long ago.

Could it be, just as those Disciples from the Beast Taming Sect and the Sacred Palace said, that Yuwei was besieged by the heaven-chosen of Wenxian City?

Or perhaps……

The Cultivators of Wenxian City and the Sacred Palace are lying.

Has Yuwei actually been betrayed by them and killed through their joint efforts?

Thinking of this, his heartbeat skipped a beat.

Between the two sets of accounts from Cao Tian and Xuan Che versus Yaoguang and the others.

He ultimately felt that the former's account was more reliable.

The aura on his body surged uncontrollably, and a cold aura seeped out from his body.

He looked at Wen Tiansheng with a cold expression, "These should be all the Cultivators still alive among the Eight Continents' teams."

"I presume Daoist Friend Wen has also heard their accounts."

"Wan Guiyuan insisted on sneaking into Wenxian City and later directed the team to launch a feint attack, but every time they happened to fall into the traps of Wenxian City, resulting in the total annihilation of the army; even if there are Cultivators in Wenxian City skilled in divination, this matter is far too suspicious."

"If that Cultivator in Wenxian City skilled in divination is so powerful, how could they not have detected Wan Guiyuan who had already snuck into Wenxian City?"

"And the coincidences mentioned by the Beast Taming Sect and Sacred Palace Cultivators are even less convincing……"

"Daoist Friend Wen, we need your explanation!"

As the voice of the Ancient God Palace Palace Master rang out, the gazes of the various big shots around also fell upon Wen Tiansheng.

Wen Tiansheng felt his scalp tingle slightly.

He had also heard the suspicious points in the words of Yaoguang and the others.

He did not expect that he still failed to deceive Qi Tongtian in the end.

He could not help but look at Yuan Xiuya and the others.

Sensing Wen Tiansheng's gaze, the naturally more honest Yuan Xiuya could not help but lower his head.

This was a sign of a guilty conscience.

It was not because he felt guilty about the claim of coincidentally camping at the ambush site of Wenxian City and not cooperating with Wenxian City.

He did not know that Lu Xiu and the Nine Nether had secretly reached a cooperation with Wenxian City, so until this moment, he still firmly believed that it was a coincidence.

The reason for his guilty conscience was simply because the claim regarding the Great Star Envoy's divination and the feint attack team's ambush was, after all, only a guess.

Stating it as a fact without verification was, in this regard, a lie.

But Wen Tiansheng did not know the specific thoughts in his mind.

Upon noticing the subtle change in Yuan Xiuya's expression, he secretly lamented in his heart.

Damn it.

So they really have colluded with Wenxian City?

These brats are too treacherous!

No, it is Wan Guiyuan who is too treacherous.

That brat Yuan Xiuya is quite honest; he certainly wouldn't do such a thing.

Wan Guiyuan is bold and lawless; he must have been the one to lead this.

Thinking of this.

Even with his thick skin and shamelessness, he could no longer continue to argue.

However.

Admitting guilt also requires a method.

His gaze flickered, and a look of anger appeared on his face, "That brat Wan Guiyuan is too detestable!"

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's angry voice, the crowd was stunned.

They had thought of every possible reaction Wen Tiansheng might have, but they never expected him to act this way.

While everyone was somewhat dazed, not knowing what Wen Tiansheng would do next.

Wen Tiansheng, with a face full of indignation, continued, "Fellow Daoist Friends, my Beast Taming Sect is also a victim!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd was somewhat bewildered.

Wen Tiansheng gritted his teeth hard, "That Wan Guiyuan is too good at Disguise; he always pretended to be an obedient Disciple, and I misjudged him."

"Furthermore, he is the number one on the Spirit Ranking for our Youzhou this time, and the Leader of the Youzhou team, so when the Beast Taming Sect Disciples gathered, I instructed the Disciples of my sect to unconditionally obey Wan Guiyuan's orders in all matters."

"I never expected that Wan Guiyuan would lead my Beast Taming Sect Disciples to collude with Wenxian City, ruining the reputation of my Beast Taming Sect Disciples!"

"It is too detestable; when he returns, I will certainly hand him over to you all, and then personally apologize to you Fellow Daoist Friends."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, the crowd was dumbfounded.

Wen Tiansheng's meaning was already very clear.

That is, my Beast Taming Sect Disciples did indeed rebel, but they were forced, and the culprit is Wan Guiyuan.

I have now severed ties with Wan Guiyuan, and by offering you a verbal apology, this matter should be considered over.

Listen to that...

Is that even human language?

Before the crowd could react, Wen Tiansheng's voice rose again, "As for Jiuyou, he is not a Disciple of our Beast Taming Sect, but hails from the Youyun Holy Land; our Beast Taming Sect can at most be considered the in-laws, so if you want to hold someone accountable, you must go to the natal family."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at Luo Ling.

Luo Ling's expression froze, and after realizing what happened, he was so angry his nose almost went crooked.

This bastard still has the nerve to frame the Youyun Holy Land even now.

What a beast!
