Although Su Xi was annoyed by Tang Yifeng's unreasonable behavior, she knew that this matter had to be explained.
Facing Liu Piaopiao, who repeatedly caused trouble, Su Xi did not show the slightest fear.
After all, what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. No matter how eloquently Liu Piaopiao spoke, she could not change the truth of what had happened.
Therefore, Su Xi looked at Liu Piaopiao and took the initiative to ask, "You've been talking so nicely, but can you produce some evidence? To completely condemn me."
"Evidence?" Liu Piaopiao's face showed panic, and she insisted, "You still want evidence? If you hadn't led us astray, how could so many people have entered, and only I came out?"
Liu Piaopiao thought she had found the key point and continued her assault, "Fortunately, I sensed something was wrong at the time and timely separated from your team. Otherwise, I might have also, like other brothers, remained in the secret realm forever..."
As Liu Piaopiao spoke, she began to cry like a pear blossom with rain.
Her appearance made her words even more convincing, causing the surrounding people to look at Su Xi with anger. If it weren't for Tang Yifeng's presence, they would have already taken action.
Su Xi watched Liu Piaopiao's feigned distress and almost felt like shedding tears for her. Such a high-level "green tea" was rare indeed.
However, even though Liu Piaopiao's methods were clever, she was not to be bullied. After all that talk, she hadn't produced any evidence.
Su Xi seized the crucial point and reminded everyone, "If I remember correctly, you didn't seem to be teamed up with me. Why do you say it was under my leadership?"
"That's because we saw you were alone and worried about your safety, so we accompanied you. We never expected you to repay kindness with enmity, using us as bait to save yourself..."
Since none of the previous group had survived, Liu Piaopiao had no pressure in speaking, and she could say whatever she wanted.
Upon hearing Liu Piaopiao's logic, Su Xi almost knelt down to her.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Indeed, shamelessness makes one invincible.
Did others not have any common sense about what kind of person this woman was?
Would she be so kind as to take her in?
Su Xi knew she had no popular support, and no amount of talking would help now.
Fortunately, Tang Yifeng was nearby to provide testimony; otherwise, even if she jumped into the Milky Way, she couldn't clear herself of suspicion today.
Su Xi smiled, took out a talisman from her person, looked at Liu Piaopiao, and asked in a light tone, "Do you know of a talisman called the 'Imprint Talisman'?"
Since she already knew Liu Piaopiao's character, Su Xi naturally wouldn't be unprepared.
As soon as Liu Piaopiao appeared before her, she had already used an Imprint Talisman to record her image. At the time, it was just a precautionary measure, but she never expected it to be so useful.
The Imprint Talisman was not an offensive talisman and was of a very low grade. However, it had a significant function: it could record the images of events that occurred at a certain time.
Liu Piaopiao's face turned ugly upon hearing Su Xi's words.
In her carelessness, she had forgotten that Su Xi possessed many talismans. Su Xi naturally might have an Imprint Talisman that others did not.
The thought that evidence might have been left behind made Liu Piaopiao suddenly nervous. But she was unwilling to admit defeat easily, and staring at Su Xi, she questioned with diminishing confidence, "Even if you have an Imprint Talisman, how can you prove it's real?"
Hearing Liu Piaopiao's question, Su Xi looked at Tang Yifeng beside her. "Senior Brother Tang has been with me the entire time and can prove that I didn't have time to fake it."
Since Tang Yifeng wanted to watch the show, she certainly wouldn't be satisfied with just that; dragging him into it was the proper course of action.
With Su Xi's words, everyone turned their attention to Tang Yifeng.
As a legendary figure among the younger generation of disciples, Tang Yifeng naturally received much attention and trust.
Tang Yifeng, seeing that Su Xi had dragged him into it, was not angry. He smiled and nodded, "What she said is true. Under my watchful eye, she did not cheat."
Su Xi lacked credibility, but Tang Yifeng was naturally believed.
People in this world revered the strong. As a master of the Golden Core stage, Tang Yifeng had no reason to deceive them. Moreover, Tang Yifeng's reputation was well-known.
Upon hearing Tang Yifeng's assurance, Liu Piaopiao's face instantly turned somewhat unsightly. She knew that if Su Xi were to reveal the footage from that time, her meticulously cultivated image over the years would be ruined. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The thought of her true face being exposed and facing universal condemnation made Liu Piaopiao even more unwilling to accept it.
Su Xi looked at Liu Piaopiao's pale face and a smile appeared on her lips. She took out a talisman from her person and was about to activate it when she suddenly felt the talisman slip from her hand.
Immediately after, Su Xi saw the talisman fall into Gu Li's hand.
Gu Li put away the talisman, glanced at Su Xi with a somber expression, and warned, "Since this is evidence, how can it be so easily made public?"
Under Su Xi's bewildered gaze, he instructed both Liu Piaopiao and Su Xi, "You two, follow me. The sect leader needs to inquire about what happened."
Su Xi knew that Gu Li was helping Liu Piaopiao, but she didn't say much.
As an elder of the Luo Yi Sect, Gu Li was naturally not comparable to their disciples. Offending him rashly would turn even a just cause into an unjust one.
Although Gu Li temporarily suppressed the matter, he was still very curious. Why hadn't Su Xi died in that situation, and how was she able to appear here so lively?
Tang Yifeng smiled and stood where he was. After all, his task was complete.
Upon arriving at the council hall of the Five Great Immortal Mountains, Su Xi found that there were a few other people present.
Besides another Golden Core stage elder from Shu Shan, there were also some surviving disciples.
After bringing Su Xi in, Gu Li instructed everyone, "Everyone is here. You can all tell us what happened."
The secret realm had a barrier, and their cultivation was insufficient to enter and investigate. Therefore, to know what had happened, they could only question the surviving disciples.
The group did not conceal anything at this point and recounted what had happened in the secret realm one by one.
After listening, Gu Li said to a Daoist-robed figure beside him, "Now that it is confirmed that demons have infiltrated the secret realm, we can only use that method."
The Daoist heard Gu Li's words and showed hesitation, "Do we really have to do this?"
Gu Li nodded and affirmed, "That's right. Cut the Gordian Knot quickly. We shouldn't hold back when dealing with those people."
Hearing Gu Li's words, Su Xi knew that whatever they were about to do was extremely dangerous, even though she didn't know the specifics. She absolutely could not agree.
This was because Wu Yufeng had not yet emerged. Although she didn't have a saintly heart, she didn't want her former teammates to be harmed.
"Stop." Having made up her mind, Su Xi quickly stepped forward to intervene.
Upon hearing Su Xi dare to object to his decision, Gu Li instantly erupted in anger, "Does our course of action require the consent of a mere young girl like you?"
He was already looking for an opportunity to target Su Xi, and now that Su Xi had conveniently presented herself, he would not let this chance slip away.
