Under so many gazes, Liao Tianrui felt immense pressure.

Especially the Old Ancestor's gaze, which filled him with terror.

However, before he could think further, Old Ancestor's voice came through.

"Little Liao, tell me the truth, did you go to the Mysterious Yin Sect a few months ago?"

"Don't even think about hiding anything from me; you should know my methods!"

Facing the Old Ancestor's interrogation, Liao Tianrui dropped to his knees with a thud.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, I did indeed go to the Mysterious Yin Sect a few months ago."

"But I only went to invite the Mysterious Yin Sect Sect Leader to attend our Holy Son Succession Ceremony."

"Everything I did was for the Sect; I ask Old Ancestor to see clearly."

"Hehe..." Xia Yingyao sneered, "Liao Tianrui, do you think everyone is a fool?"

"Other forces sent disciples to deliver an invitation, but you had to go personally!"

"If there isn't something going on between you, who do you think would believe it?"

Hearing Xia Yingyao's words, Liao Tianrui grew even more flustered.

But he absolutely could not admit to this matter.

"Xia Yingyao, don't slander me here!"

"I know you suspect that I caused Ye Liuli's disappearance, which is why you resent me."

"But resent me if you must, I don't blame you, because I can understand your feelings."

"However, you absolutely cannot pin the crime of betraying the Sect on me."

The commotion here was significant, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

They were happy to witness such juicy gossip.

Seeing Liao Tianrui's stubborn denial, Xia Yingyao looked at Mo Wentian.

"Sect Leader Mo, I presume you heard Elder Liao's words just now."

"I wonder what Sect Leader Mo thinks about this matter?"

Originally, Mo Wentian had intended to use Liao Tianrui as a chess piece planted in the Azure Mist Sect.

But with his disciple crippled, his heart was naturally filled with hatred for Liao Tianrui.

If Liao Tianrui hadn't gone to him then, his disciple's fate wouldn't have been so tragic.

So Liao Tianrui had to die to quell the hatred in his heart.

"Elder Xia, your guess is not wrong!"

"The reason my disciple directly attacked Xia Ming with lethal intent was because I received 500,000 Earth-Grade Origin Stone from this Elder Liao."

"Not only that, but the reason Ye Liuli disappeared earlier was also because he came to me."

"Now Ye Liuli is trapped in the Heart-Bewitching Marsh; whether she can come out alive depends on her luck."

Mo Wentian dared to confess such a matter in the Azure Mist Sect because he was not the mastermind behind it; after all, he merely acted for money.

Therefore, he was certain that the Azure Mist Sect would not do anything to him.

If the Azure Mist Sect were to make a move against him because of this matter,

that would mean the Azure Mist Sect would be starting a war with the Profound Yin Sect.

Killing the Sect Leader of another Sect would absolutely mean an endless conflict.

The strength of their two Sects was not far apart, and he believed the Azure Mist Sect would absolutely not do something so unwise at this time.

What's more, his disciple was also crippled in the Azure Mist Sect, so the Azure Mist Sect had even less reason to act against him.

One could only say that the grievances between their two Sects were now even.

Mo Wentian finished speaking and, ignoring everything else, took He Yu back to his seat, then instructed several disciples to take good care of He Yu.

He was not in a hurry to return; anyway, He Yu could not be cured.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what fate Liao Tianrui would meet.

And as soon as his words were spoken, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

They had never imagined that Liao Tianrui would be so foolish.

To inflict such a cruel hand on a prodigy of his own Sect.

Prodigies like Ye Liuli and Lin Haoming were treasured existences in any Sect.

Liao Tianrui's actions were simply digging his own grave.

If this matter were exposed, which Genius would be willing to join such a force?

However, this incident also served as a lesson to everyone present.

At this moment, the Sect Leaders and Family Heads of various forces present all raised their guard.

They wondered if such individuals also existed within their own forces.

If so, they were absolutely a cancer that must be eradicated immediately.

The leaders of these forces were already planning in their hearts to conduct a thorough investigation upon their return.

They certainly did not want such things to happen within their own forces.

Unlike these gossiping forces,

everyone in the Azure Mist Sect, from the Old Ancestor and Elders down to the Menial Disciples, was filled with rage.

At this moment, they wished they could tear Liao Tianrui, this traitor, to shreds.

The earlier Ye Liuli and the current Lin Haoming were both rare Prodigies of the Sect, representing the future of the Sect.

Yet, harming Ye Liuli wasn't enough for Liao Tianrui; he even wanted to eliminate their Holy Son.

Especially after hearing that Ye Liuli was trapped in the Heart-Bewitching Marsh, their hatred for Liao Tianrui intensified.

One must know that the Heart-Bewitching Marsh was constantly shrouded in mist; even a Holy Son King could only see 10 meters inside.

Divine Sense perception was useless there.

At the same time, it was also full of various dangers; a slight carelessness could lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

The most terrifying thing was that once one stepped inside, they would be randomly teleported to any part of the Heart-Bewitching Marsh.

If one was teleported to the edge, with good luck, there might be a chance to escape.

But if one was teleported to the center of the Heart-Bewitching Marsh, it was almost impossible to get out.

It could be said that the danger level of the Heart-Bewitching Marsh was even more terrifying than the Illusory Sea Secret Realm, and it was referred to as a 'Death Zone' by most Martial Artists.

Even knowing there were Opportunities inside, very few Martial Artists dared to go to the Heart-Bewitching Marsh.

At this moment, even though everyone knew Ye Liuli was inside, no one dared to go in search of her.

"Liao Tianrui, what do you have to say for yourself now?"

Yun Jinghong Yun Jinghong's tone was icy, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

He would no longer keep this Liao Tianrui around.

"Old Ancestor, you must believe me, I am truly innocent."

"It must be Mo Wentian, due to the Holy Son being crippled, wanting to vent his anger on me. Everyone, please don't fall for his trick."

Liao Tianrui was gambling that without conclusive evidence,

the Old Ancestor, to silence public opinion, would not easily kill him directly.

Mo Wentian, who was in the distance, saw that Liao Tianrui still wanted to shift the blame onto him, and naturally, he would not let him succeed.

"Liao Tianrui, you truly won't shed tears until you see your coffin."

"Since that's the case, I shall fulfill your wish."

After Mo Wentian finished speaking, he directly picked up two Recording Stones.

One of these Recording Stones was about Ye Liuli.

The other was the one from a few months ago.

Next, he publicly displayed the projections within them.

It clearly recorded how Liao Tianrui had made a deal with him.

Even Liao Tianrui's expression at the time was clearly recorded.
