Chapter 191 Reversal
As soon as this spiritual seal appeared, an aura even more powerful than that of the Cen family's ancestor instantly spread throughout the entire square.
Everyone was enveloped by this pressure, except for a few Nascent Soul cultivators who were able to barely maintain their figures.
The foundation-building cultivators with lower cultivation levels were almost unable to stand.
The ancestor of the Cen family immediately protected Xiao Pingshan and Cen Pianpian, trying to prevent the two from being affected by this pressure.
Xiao Pingshan's ominous premonition reached its peak at this moment.
He looked around but didn't see anyone suspicious, so he asked loudly, "Which senior has come here? Please show yourself!"
The person who made the move still hadn't shown up. Instead, Jiang Hongyue raised her eyebrows at Xiao Pingshan and said proudly:
"Oh, Sect Leader Xiao, didn't you say that I, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, have no right to inquire about what happened in Xuanfeng Sect today?
How about this? Now I am not just a Nascent Soul cultivator, am I qualified?"
As she finished speaking, a male voice sounded, and another Nascent Soul cultivator's pressure descended.
"Master Xiao, if Hongyue alone isn't qualified, how about adding me?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. Although Nascent Soul cultivators were not the highest in this world, they were extremely rare.
The highest-level cultivators in many medium-sized sects are only at the Nascent Soul stage. On weekdays, these old monsters are either in seclusion practicing or handling affairs in their respective sects and families. They are rarely seen.
However, today, because of a hidden sect whose highest level of cultivation was only at the Jindan stage, two Yuanying cultivators who were unfamiliar to everyone appeared in succession.
And in a corner unknown to everyone, there is even a mysterious and powerful person hidden, who may be at the level of a spirit being or even higher.
Xiao Pingshan guessed Jiang Hongyue's identity as soon as Ji Qinglin appeared.
He didn't recognize Jiang Hongyue, but he knew Ji Qinglin's identity because he had participated in the siege decades ago.
And Ji Qinglin called out the name "Hongyue" again.
In the Cangxuan Continent, the only person called "Red Moon" who might be acquainted with Ji Qinglin is probably the one from the Jiang family.
He finally understood why he had been alarmed since Jiang Hongyue appeared!
The Jiang and Ji families are both reclusive families who rarely go out on weekdays.
Even when the clan members go out to gain experience, they always hide their identities.
No one knows how powerful these hidden families are.
But what Xiao Pingshan can be sure of is that the strength of these two families is no less than that of any large sect.
If these two families are determined to stand on the side of the Hidden World Sect, people from other factions in the Xuanfeng Sect will probably have to reweigh the pros and cons.
By then, everything he has done will come to nothing, and he himself might even be implicated.
At this point, he could only figure out the situation first, so he asked Ji Qinglin tentatively:
"Fellow Daoist Ji, we haven't seen each other for decades. I didn't expect to see you again in such an occasion. Since you are here, I guess that person must be Fellow Daoist Jiang Hongyue from the Jiang family, right?
I wonder what the relationship is between the Jiang and Ji families and this Hidden World Sect? Why did they get involved in this matter?
Jiang Hongyue didn't give him any face at all, "Xiao Pingshan, there's no need to test me. Today's matter will be handled by our two families!
Didn't you find witnesses? Coincidentally, I have some questions for these witnesses. Am I qualified to ask them now?
Xiao Pingshan heard this, and a flash of anger flashed across his face. He was silent for a while, then suppressed his anger and said:
"Today's matter is of great importance. Fellow Daoist Jiang did not reveal his identity before, so I naturally cannot let someone with an unknown identity interfere.
Now that we know the identity of our fellow Taoist, everything that happened before was naturally a misunderstanding.
Fellow Daoist, please feel free to do as you please. These people have taken the Manifestation Pill, and the medicinal effect is enough to last for twelve hours. What they say is all true."
He had already found out from these people how Cheng Shuyan committed murder. Even if Jiang Hongyue asked more questions, the facts were the facts and could not be changed.
"Okay, since Sect Leader Xiao has spoken, I won't be polite." Jiang Hongyue sneered, then turned her gaze to the old woman.
"Let me ask you, how do Cheng Dani's adoptive parents treat her on a daily basis?"
Although the old woman was just a mortal, she knew how to read people's expressions and could naturally tell that the "Xiao Immortal" who had asked someone to bring her here seemed a little afraid of the beautiful "Jiang Immortal".
She raised her head slightly and glanced at Xiao Pingshan cautiously, then quickly lowered her head and said respectfully:
"I dare not lie to you all, the Immortals. Everything I said before is true.
But... Cheng Dayong and his wife are really not human! His daughter Dani has never had a full meal since she was a child.
When I was three or four years old, I was just a little kid who looked like a carrot. I had to climb onto the stove on a stool to cook for the black-hearted couple!
Later, after he had a son, he no longer treated his daughter Dani as a human being. He locked the child in the woodshed in the middle of winter and didn't even give her a decent coat.
On the eve of Dani's husband's family coming to pick her up, she was locked in the woodshed by her cruel mother. It was the coldest time of the year and the child was so cold in the woodshed that she begged for mercy.
When I passed by their house that night, I went to the old woman to plead for her, but the old woman said that she was going to marry someone else soon and asked me not to meddle in her affairs.
By the way, his family originally had a daughter named Erni, but she was sold to a brothel in the city by that black-hearted couple when she was seven or eight years old."
Even though Jiang Hongyue had heard all these things from Cheng Shuyan, but Cheng Shuyan downplayed them, now when she heard them again, she was so angry that her heart was trembling!
She looked at the man again and said, "Now it's your turn. Go on, what kind of person is this groom you mentioned?"
The man looked up at Xiao Pingshan with a panicked look on his face.
We clearly agreed before coming here that we only needed to talk about what happened on the wedding day. Why do we need to talk about anything else?
However, Xiao Pingshan had some concerns and ignored him. He was just a small mortal, no different from an ant in the eyes of these immortals. How could he dare to offend Jiang Hongyue?
He had no choice but to turn around and kneel down in the direction of Jiang Hongyue, saying tremblingly:
"Reporting to the Immortal, I did witness what I described earlier. However, I also heard about 70% of the reason why the bride killed someone.
The groom seemed to be a wealthy family in the surrounding villages, but in fact he was a cruel and violent fool. Before Cheng Dani, he had married several wives, but they were all beaten to death by him!
Those girls were sold to his family for a few taels of silver. After that idiot killed someone, his father paid some silver as compensation. Plus, he was an idiot, so no one would pursue the matter anymore..."
Afterwards, he told everyone everything he had seen and heard that day, and everyone sighed after listening.
I didn't expect that things would take such a turn!
