After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 165 This Dragon Transformation Palace, It’S Okay Not To Stay Here

Chapter 165: The Dragon Transformation Palace, Better Not Stay

The secret letter is here, the scriptures are here. Even if Elder Qian is framed and falsely accused, he cannot easily escape this matter.

If such an injustice were to occur openly, other sects would also tolerate it, but they would be ridiculed by their peers.

The order of the righteous path requires a fig leaf, no matter how dirty it is inside, the surface must be bright and beautiful.

For this reason, Huang Li and the other three Perfected Beings must investigate to the end. Whoever backs down will be labeled as someone who fears power. Although they may not lose anything, in life, one pursues fame and fortune.

As people with status, no one wants to be laughed at.

Therefore, Elder Qian's situation is a bit precarious.

"I think it would be better to first go and ask Elder Zhao about this matter, investigate carefully, and not jump to conclusions."

Elder Qian has already said this much, so the other three elders of the Divine Ability sects can only agree.

Coincidentally, the place where Elder Zhao is having a banquet is not far away, it is in the former hall of the Talisman Treasure Sect, which has now been cleaned up. It is a perfect time for feasting and revelry.

In addition to Elder Zhao, there are also some lower-ranking individuals accompanying him, all of whom are insignificant and can be ignored.

Elder Qian hurriedly arrived and what he saw was a scene that is difficult to describe.

Some were drinking water, some were dancing, playing musical instruments, and singing. None of it was enough.

At this moment, Elder Zhao's face was already flushed, and he was slightly intoxicated, his eyes were blurred, clearly very happy.

Elder Qian didn't know whether the secret letter was true or false, but regardless of its authenticity, if Elder Zhao had been more vigilant, it wouldn't have caused such a big trouble for the sect.

Seeing his current state, Elder Qian was naturally dissatisfied, and the tone of his words became more serious.

"Elder Zhao, what are you doing! Losing such an important thing, not thinking of a remedy, and still drinking and reveling?"

Elder Zhao was also displeased when he heard this.

Originally, he felt extremely unlucky because he lost something and was in a bad mood. Elder Qian bringing up this matter was like adding fuel to the fire.

The way he said it made it seem like it was his fault?

Elder Zhao didn't think that losing the item was his fault. When he guarded the scriptures, he was very careful and conscientious. But the thief still managed to steal it right under his nose.

Was this his fault?

He had done his best!

It could only be said that the thief was skilled, and he only felt unlucky, ending up with such a thing that made him lose face.

Now that Elder Qian was speaking to him like this, did he think that he could just scold him because he didn't handle things well?

Elder Zhao naturally couldn't accept it.

Seeing that the dancing girls had stopped their activities, Elder Zhao was even more dissatisfied, feeling that Elder Qian was making him lose face.

"The item has already been lost, it's not my fault. I have been guarding the island for several days, with no credit but hard work. Today, there is nothing to do, can't I enjoy myself?"

"Continue the music, continue the dance!"

Zhao Perfected Being gave the order, and those geisha had no choice but to continue.

Qian Perfected Being, upon seeing this, was also quite angry.

Just as he was about to say something, Elder Huangli interrupted, "How long has it been since Zhao Perfected Being returned to his room?"

Upon seeing three other fellow cultivators arrive, not just Qian Perfected Being, Zhao Perfected Being's drunkenness subsided slightly.

"Are you interrogating me?" he asked.

Due to face-saving considerations, Zhao Perfected Being wouldn't give an honest answer.

Elder Huangli didn't indulge him either and directly asked the others.

The others didn't have the audacity to defy the powerful one and could only answer honestly.

The banquet started yesterday evening, and since then, Zhao Perfected Being hasn't returned to his room.

No wonder they went to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion after that time. According to the time the letter was delivered, Zhao Perfected Being was indeed not in his room.

It's possible that the letter was delivered by some kind of puppet or Spirit Beast. When they couldn't find Zhao Perfected Being in the designated place, they hid the secret letter under the cushion.

That's also why the secret letter wasn't destroyed, because Zhao Perfected Being didn't check it in time.

"Zhao Perfected Being, can you explain why the stolen scriptures appeared in your room, and who wrote this secret letter to you?"

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhao Perfected Being's heart skipped a beat, and seeing the secret letter made his scalp tingle.

"Slander! This is pure slander! Someone is framing me!"

His reaction was too normal, whether it was true or false, this was the only reaction he could have.

Therefore, his refutation was not enough to convince the three elders of the sect.

Qian Perfected Being wanted to cover for him, but in this situation, it was indeed like having mud in one's pants, impossible to explain.

The situation was at a stalemate. Zhao Perfected Being couldn't prove his innocence, but he stubbornly refused to admit to stealing from himself.

And the suspicion of the other three sects was not just on Zhao Perfected Being, but on the entire Dragon Transformation Palace.

Naturally, Qian Perfected Being couldn't let such a thing happen.

Both sides kept arguing, unable to convince each other.

Zhao Perfected Being insisted that he had no knowledge of it and that someone must be framing him.

But he couldn't point out who was framing him.

To be able to steal the scriptures from his hands, the thief must be at least a powerful Divine Ability cultivator.

Which Divine Ability cultivator did he offend, and who wanted to steal things and frame him?

No one could convince anyone in this matter, so both sides could only send messages back and wait for more influential figures to discuss this matter.

It would take some time for the news to reach here, so the group of people could only wait here.

At this moment, Yin Xun's hands were already numb.

Long Yan blocked the door, wanting to cause trouble for him.

"You despicable person, come out! If you have the guts to plot against others, then come out!" Yin Xun learned that the matter involving the Sword Sect had been exposed, and he felt annoyed.

He was too hasty. He should have first called back Long Yan before letting Feng Qi take action.

Long Yan only causes trouble!

Now that Long Yan was blocking the door and causing a commotion, Yin Xun couldn't face the situation.

Gradually, more people gathered, and helplessly, Yin Xun had no choice but to go out and face the challenge from Long Yan.

"Elder Long, do you still have any rules and regulations in your eyes? I have always indulged you out of respect for our master, but your actions today, aren't they going too far?" As soon as Yin Xun appeared, he used the authority of the sect leader to suppress others.

At this moment, he couldn't afford to lose his momentum. Other elders who had heard the news came forward to watch the spectacle.

"I dare to block the door here because I walk the righteous path and sit upright. Naturally, I have no fear. What about you? Why did you let Elder Feng search the Sword Sect? With the current strength of the Sword Sect, how could they steal the Talisman Treasure Sect's scriptures? What gives you the right to suspect them?" Yin Xun felt annoyed and said coldly, "In order to protect the interests of the sect, I have the power to suspect anyone. Elder Long, are you being too emotional? You must always remember that you are a disciple of the Dragon Transformation Palace. Don't always side with outsiders!"

Elder Feng quickly advised, "Yes, Elder Long, let it go. There is no problem with the procedures carried out by the sect leader. I know you have a good relationship with the Sword Sect, but the sect leader is also working to protect everyone's interests."

Other elders who were watching the scene, aligned with the sect leader, naturally spoke up, saying, "Elder Long, don't be angry. You must have misunderstood the sect leader."

Seeing so many people trying to persuade her, Long Yan felt a chill in her heart.

She used to think that the sect was beautiful, but it turned out to be like this.

These people didn't care about the truth, and no one listened to what she had to say.

"Heh heh." Long Yan sneered and looked at Elder Feng, saying coldly, "If I hadn't arrived just in time yesterday, would Elder Feng have used the excuse of the Sword Sect's resistance to kill all the members of the Sword Sect?"

Elder Feng quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "How could that be? Elder Long, you misunderstood me. I was just carrying out my duties impartially and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Yin Xun also added, "Elder Feng was acting on orders. Elder Long, you are the one obstructing official business. Can you guarantee that the people from the Sword Sect didn't steal anything? Since you were present and didn't trust Elder Feng, why didn't you supervise his search instead of driving him away? Why don't you trust your fellow sect members? In your eyes, is the Sword Sect more trustworthy than the Dragon Transformation Palace?"

Yin Xun labeled Long Yan as someone who disregarded the interests of the sect, and now he added that she didn't trust the sect.

Although Long Yan was a bit naive, she wasn't completely clueless.

She confirmed that Yin Xun had a problem, but he could speak so confidently that she couldn't refute him.

This feeling of frustration made Long Yan even more angry.

"I suggest Elder Long think about how to be a good elder. Being an elder is not just a position, but also a responsibility."

"Heh! What a hypocritical pseudo-gentleman!" Long Yan said mercilessly, and this statement made Yin Xun's face turn black.

As the sect leader, being confronted by Long Yan in front of so many people made him so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

But he didn't dare.

The old ancestor said to teach Long Yan a lesson, but if he really took action, the situation would be different.

While he was still holding his anger, Long Yan took out the token representing the identity of a Dragon Transformation Palace elder.

"I see it now. You people are all in cahoots, birds of a feather. I am ashamed to associate with you. I will no longer be an elder of the Dragon Transformation Palace!"

Long Yan smashed the token to pieces on the ground in anger and turned to leave.

This action stunned Yin Xun.

He really didn't expect Long Yan to be so resolute and actually quit.

This...

Her father was the ancestor of the Dragon Transformation Palace. Who could have imagined that she would actually leave the sect?

The normal process of leaving the sect was not like this. The sect nurtured you, so you couldn't just leave without consequences.

Forcibly leaving without resolving the cause and effect could lead to being hunted down.

But who would dare to trouble Long Yan?

Even if she left, people from the Dragon Transformation Palace wouldn't dare to disrespect her.

And as Long Yan left in anger, she subconsciously headed towards the direction of the Sword Sect.

This was the effect of Zhang Chi getting her drunk.

It made her feel comfortable staying at the Sword Sect, as if coming here was like going home. When she had nowhere else to go, she would subconsciously come here.

And then, it was only natural for her to join the Sword Sect.

With Long Yan as a backer, even though her cultivation was only at the Divine Soul realm, who in the entire Dragon River region would dare to provoke the Sword Sect?
