Chapter 210: with translation of chapter title

Evidence? Hearing this, and then seeing Yu Li's confident expression, Hong Zun laughed.

"I, Hong Zun, naturally wouldn't speak nonsense without evidence; how could I randomly say things without evidence?"

Saying this, Hong Zun aimed the Formation Light Curtain at the He family members.

"Here, they are all He family members; previously they defected to the Demonic Cultivators."

Just as he was speaking, He Lu happened to come looking for Yu Li.

"Shīzūn."

Seeing He Lu enter the Formation Light Curtain, the He family members all called out.

"Second Miss, save us."

"Second Sister, save me."

Huh??

Hearing this, He Lu looked toward the Formation Light Curtain and saw her own people all bound tightly; her expression instantly darkened.

Although she was facing Hong Zun, He Lu still spoke in an icy tone.

"Peak Master Hong, as the Peak Master of the Dao Yi Sect, doing this is likely inappropriate........"

"You've come at a good time; these are all your family, right? Good, they've defected to the Demonic Cultivators; you come and say how they should be handled."

Seeing He Lu also arrive, Hong Zun felt delighted; "Good timing, good timing."

Hearing this, Yu Li frowned slightly; defected to the Demonic Cultivators? Her gaze swept through the Formation Light Curtain over the clanspeople.

Facing He Lu's gaze, the He family members also lowered their heads, lacking confidence.

Seeing their appearance, He Lu could no longer be unaware; what Hong Zun said was true, her own people had truly defected to the Demonic Cultivators.

She gritted her teeth silently; indeed she was asking for trouble, but the next second He Lu spoke.

"He Lu still wanted to persist a bit longer, but the next second Hong Zun had a memory stone appear in his hand; after activation, the previous scene quickly appeared."

Including how He Lu's father claimed he had cultivated the Blood Hand, joined the Blood Sect, and even personally demonstrated it—everything was recorded.

Looking at the image on the memory stone, He Lu's expression changed and her voice cut off.

"How about that, is this enough evidence?"

He said with a smile, while Yu Li's expression at this point was already extremely ugly, and she felt a deep unease.

With someone like Hong Zun, who can twist even unreasonable things three ways, now that you've cornered him with reason, the result..................

Sure enough, the next second Hong Zun spoke.

"According to the rules set by the Four Sects Conference, Xiūliàn demonic cultivation or joining a demonic sect is a death penalty, no doubt about that."

"Moreover, for the He family to have such audacity, I suspect there's someone else behind this, old woman; your disciple is also a He family member—could it be.............."

Here it comes again, that familiar feeling, that damned direction; Yu Li gritted her teeth, knowing she couldn't let this old thing continue speaking, and directly interrupted.

"Hmph, who doesn't know that I, Yu Li, am irreconcilable with demonic cultivators; besides, He Lu has long severed ties with the He family—what does the He family's defection to demonic cultivators have to do with us master and disciple?"

"This time, Shī xiōng exterminating the demonic cultivators of Yun City is certainly a great merit; the remnants of the He family also deserve to die; junior sister here congratulates Shī xiōng on another great merit, exalting our righteous Dao; if there's nothing else, junior sister will hang up."

After uttering a string of crackling words, without waiting for Hong Zun to react, she directly cut off the Formation.

Watching the disappearing Formation Light Curtain, Hong Zun stared, then came to his senses, his moustache twitching as he spoke angrily.

"Hey, damn it, playing this trick on me."

Not bad, old woman, you've gotten clever, just tossed out a clean sweep.

Beside her, Bai Hua Xianzi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly; only the He family members stared dumbfounded, damn it, when did He Lu sever ties with them?

On the other side, in North City, Yu Li, who had just cut off the Formation, gave a cold smile and said.

"Old thing, do you think you can still control me? This sacrifice-the-pawn-to-save-the-chariot tactic—how do you like it?"

Trying to make a story out of the He family is ridiculous; I, Yu Li, am no longer who I used to be.

After the laughter faded, she glanced at He Lu, whose expression was complex, and said irritably.

"The He family brought about its own destruction; it can't be saved—do you want to become the target of everyone's anger?"

The He family definitely cannot be saved; they themselves defected to demonic cultivators, no one can protect them; moreover, since Hong Zun has gotten hold of this matter, if we don't cut the Gordian knot quickly, getting entangled will just cause trouble.

Hearing this, He Lu nodded silently; she also knew this, so although she felt somewhat reluctant, she did not refute Shīzūn's words.

The life and death of the He family means nothing to Yu Li; but wanting to use the He family to make a story is seriously underestimating Yu Li—she is, after all, the Third Elder of the Luo Xia Sect.

"Old thing, your tricks no longer work; on the contrary, now your Dao Yi Sect is riding a tiger and can't get off."

Seeming to think of something, Yu Li revealed a gleeful smile, her gaze toward the North City direction.

North City, as a gathering place for numerous demonic cultivation masters, naturally became a key focus for all sects.

Thus, figures like Qi Xiong, Su Luoxing, and the other four major sect powerhouses are currently in North City, aiming to deal with those demonic cultivation masters.

But at this moment, in the North City lord's manor, inside the main hall, as the demonic cultivators retreated, the sect masters of the various sects gathered together via the projection formation.

The reason for such a grand mobilization is mainly to obtain an explanation.

Inside the main hall, Qi Xiong, Su Luoxing, and the sect masters of the other four major sects were present, looking toward the Formation Light Curtain, Su Luoxing spoke coldly.

"Qi Xiong, I seriously suspect you have colluded with demonic cultivators; otherwise, how could the demonic cultivators in North City have escaped?"

"It's you who deliberately let those demonic cultivators go, causing our plan to fall short."

Su Luoxing spoke with a righteous and stern expression, though his heart was blooming with joy.

Damn it, finally I, Su Luoxing, have found an opportunity; this time I'll see to it that I don't let you die, old thing.

The tides of feng shui turn; do you remember how you messed with me last time? This time it's my turn, Su Luoxing.

Facing Su Luoxing's accusations, Qi Xiong gritted his teeth in anger, not only at him but also at Qi Qinghe and Yuan Taiji, those two old things.

Qi Qinghe is the sect master of the Qing Yun Sect, and Yuan Taiji is the sect master of the Huang Ji Sect.

However, this time those two old things are clearly teaming up with Su Luoxing, aiming to deal with Qi Xiong and the Dao Yi Sect.

But this time, those two old bastards clearly teamed up with Su Luoxing, aiming to take down Qi Xiong and the Dao Yi Sect.

As for the reason, well, Qi Xiong could also guess it.

Recently, the Dao Yi Sect has indeed been too prominent; first, Qing Shi joined, allowing the Dao Yi Sect to gain another expert who has reached perfection in the Saint Realm.

Furthermore, during the war of the two clans, the Dao Yi Sect relied solely on the strength of its two peaks to defend the Jinhai Yingdi, and stubbornly prevented the Water Clan from setting foot in Dongzhou even a single step.

Although the specific circumstances are still unclear, the Demon Race's retreat is definitely related to the Jinhai Yingdi.

Therefore, if we were to discuss the foremost merit of this battle, it is definitely the Dao Yi Sect.

And this is clearly not what the three major sects—Luo Xia Sect, Qing Yun Sect, and Huang Ji Sect—want to see, so these three old fogeys have joined forces to deal a blow to the Dao Yi Sect's prestige, at the very least not allowing it to monopolize the credit.
