Chapter 1724

The originally calm Jixia Academy was now in an uproar.

Because an unbelievable piece of news had spread.

Han Ping'an had fallen!

This was absolutely a major event.

One must know that Han Ping'an's status and position were extraordinary.

He was not only the Little Master Uncle of the Jixia Academy.

He was also the Northern Confucian among the five great King-level prodigies.

It could be said that his status and position were very transcendent.

Now, because Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao had revealed the Haoran Saint Heart.

It resulted in Han Ping'an's status appearing not so unique anymore.

But in reality, he was only slightly inferior to Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao.

He himself could still be considered a pillar of the Confucian Sect.

Everyone thought that Han Ping'an was just acting out of anger.

Once his anger subsided, he would return.

But now, who could have imagined that Han Ping'an had actually fallen?

And he had fallen in an extremely abnormal way!

Someone had received a blood-pigeon message from Han Ping'an.

It contained only one sentence.

"The person who caused my death is Chu Xiao. He is a conspirator and has designs on our Confucian Sect!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt extremely shocked.

Because everyone knew how good the relationship between Han Ping'an and Chu Xiao was.

During enrollment, Han Ping'an had even been willing to offend Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao for Chu Xiao's sake.

From this, one could see how solid their relationship was.

But now, before falling, Han Ping'an had sent this message via blood pigeon.

This exceeded everyone's expectations.

Inside a punishment hall in the Jixia Academy.

A group of Jixia Academy disciples had gathered here.

Including Mr. Yuan, the various masters had also gathered together.

And in the main hall.

Chu Xiao's face was livid as he stood in place, his expression also carrying a sense of disbelief.

He could never have imagined that Han Ping'an would actually die.

And he could never have imagined how Han Ping'an would slander and frame him before dying.

This was truly a case of sitting at home while disaster fell from the sky.

"Chu Xiao, tell the truth, what exactly is going on here?"

Mr. Yuan's tone was extremely indifferent, carrying a chill.

Although Han Ping'an was not from Yan Qinghua's lineage, he was still a talent of the Jixia Academy.

Falling like this was a huge loss for the Jixia Academy.

"This... this has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Chu Xiao shouted out.

"I am as close as brothers with Brother Han; how could I possibly frame him?"

Hearing this, there was also a trace of doubt in everyone's hearts.

Because Chu Xiao indeed had no reason to frame Han Ping'an.

"Hmph, you say you are as close as brothers, so why didn't you try to persuade him to stay when Han Ping'an left in a fit of anger earlier?"

The one who spoke was none other than Tantai Mingzhu.

And on the side, Tantai Qingxuan remained silent.

She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Chu Xiao's character.

Especially after he harmed Tantai Mingzhu in the Saint Realm space.

"You..."

A flash of anger crossed the bottom of Chu Xiao's eyes.

This bitch was causing him trouble time and time again.

If it weren't for the fact that she was Tantai Qingxuan's cousin, Chu Xiao would really want to solve her secretly.

"Cousin Qingxuan, that look in his eyes, it's like he wants to kill me. As expected, Han Ping'an must have been framed by him."

Tantai Mingzhu pulled on Tantai Qingxuan's sleeve and said fearfully.

"You..."

Chu Xiao was truly burning with rage.

Even white could be described as black.

"Chu Xiao, you cannot fool us," Mr. Yuan said coldly.

"I really don't know the situation. After the Saint Realm space, haven't I been staying in the Jixia Academy the whole time? How could I possibly frame Han Ping'an?"

"Besides, even if I wanted to frame him, with my strength, it would be impossible to kill Brother Han so easily."

Chu Xiao argued.

Hearing this, some of the academy disciples present nodded slightly.

This point did make sense.

The people present didn't know Chu Xiao's true strength very well, but they also felt that he shouldn't have the ability to kill Han Ping'an.

And just at this moment.

Two figures descended from the air and arrived at the punishment hall.

They were none other than Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao and Song Daosheng.

Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao was the same as usual, but Mr. Yuan noticed something.

Hanging at Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao's waist was a bronze-colored token.

It didn't look very conspicuous.

But when Mr. Yuan looked closely, he suddenly gasped!

He hurriedly bowed and said: "Greetings, Order Holder!"

Once these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Then all the academy disciples noticed it too.

"That is the Confucian Sect Saint Order! Seeing this order is like seeing Saint Master!"

"Heavens, this is a status and treatment that even Little Master Uncle Han didn't have before!"

When they learned that Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao had obtained the Confucian Sect Saint Order and had become the Confucian Sect's Order Holder.

Everyone's heads were buzzing.

This was the most noble status in the Jixia Academy.

Even the ten True Transmission Sages appeared humble compared to the Order Holder.

"Greetings, Order Holder!"

Everyone present, no matter who they were, bowed slightly.

Chu Xiao's heart was stirred with stormy waves, and at the same time, he felt extreme unwillingness and resentment.

They had both joined the Jixia Academy.

Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao had become the most noble Confucian Sect Order Holder.

And he was being slandered and might soon become a prisoner.

This gap was simply too large, a difference like clouds and mud.

"Young Master Yun Xiao is truly too strong..."

Tantai Mingzhu was so full of admiration she didn't know what to do.

"As expected of Young Master Jun..." Tantai Qingxuan's eyes were somewhat dazed and blurred.

It seemed that no matter what this young man in white did, he could reach a level unattainable by ordinary people.

One might ask, who else could join the Jixia Academy for less than a year and become the Confucian Sect's Order Holder?

Looking at the history of the Jixia Academy, one couldn't find a single one!

"Song Daosheng has told me roughly about the situation here. It is indeed regrettable that Fellow Daoist Han has fallen."

"However, Fellow Daoist Han sent a blood-pigeon message before he died, saying that Fellow Daoist Chu is a conspirator. This matter is indeed worth discussing," Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao said in a contemplative tone.

At this, everyone was surprised.

Chu Xiao had provoked Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao time and time again and had been at odds with him.

Yet Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao was still so fair and just, which surprised them greatly.

"He's actually helping me speak?"

Chu Xiao himself felt astonished and couldn't believe it.

However, he didn't let his guard down.

He knew that Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao was a person of deep thoughts and it was absolutely impossible for it to be this simple.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Actually, wanting to uncover the truth isn't that complicated."

"If Fellow Daoist Chu doesn't mind, you can open your sea of consciousness and let us investigate," Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.

Once these words were spoken, Chu Xiao's mood fell into an ice cellar.

As expected, it wasn't as simple as he thought!

This Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao was a wolf in sheep's clothing!

What did he mean by opening his sea of consciousness for an investigation?

Why not just say soul-searching directly?

But one must know that this could be said to be the most vicious method.

Moreover, opening one's sea of consciousness was equivalent to handing one's life and livelihood into the hands of others.

If Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao and the others were willing, they could tamper with it slightly, and his primordial spirit and soul would be affected.

They could even plant slave marks or other methods, making him directly become Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao's slave, with his life and death no longer in his own control.

One might ask, how could he agree to this?

"Impossible!"

Chu Xiao let out a sharp shout and refused decisively!
