The "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son" had gone missing.
This was a fact known to many.
Within the "Yingzhou Sword Sect," it had also caused quite a stir.
For, apart from the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," the "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son" was the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of the "Yingzhou Sword Sect."
According to the original plan set by "Tensho Zhenren" and the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," the "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son" was to be entrusted with an important mission.
The "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son" was to be the candidate for the "Cross-Sect Challenge," sent to challenge the "Kongxu Holy Son."
After the "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son" inexplicably disappeared, "Tensho Zhenren" personally ordered people to search for him.
But in the end, not a single clue was found!
Instantly, rumors began to spread.
The most prevalent was that the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," in order to achieve his ambition, had eliminated the "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son" who stood in his way.
"Tensho Zhenren" did not believe this claim.
He had watched the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" grow up. He knew that although the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" was ambitious and had the means, he would not stoop to "unscrupulous methods." The "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" would not kill the "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son."
However, now that "Wang Jiujiu" had stepped forward to accuse the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," "Tensho Zhenren" had to take it seriously.
"Wang Jiujiu's" identity was no simple matter. He was not only an "external guest elder" invited by the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," but he was also a "Grand New Dynasty special envoy," representing the entire "Grand New Dynasty" in its alliance with the "Three Immortals Sword Sect."
In such a matter of "great importance and righteousness," "Wang Jiujiu" would never dare to speak falsehoods.
Yet, "Tensho Zhenren" still refused to believe that the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" had killed the "Eastern Eight Quasi-Holy Son."
He glared, and the terrifying and powerful aura of a "Nascent Soul Ancestor" erupted, surging like a mighty river, sweeping towards "Wang Jiujiu."
"Junior Wang, do you have any evidence for such claims? Neon is the future Holy Son of our Yingzhou Sword Sect, and his reputation must not be slandered by anyone!"
The meaning of "Tensho Zhenren" was clear: if you cannot produce evidence, do not blame me for being impolite!
"Wang Jiujiu," whose mind was filled only with thoughts of "Wu Kong Fairy" and the glorious future of controlling the "Yingzhou Sword Sect," was completely unaffected by "Tensho Zhenren's" threat.
"Wang Jiujiu" stood tall, neither servile nor overbearing, and said.
"Reporting to Sect Master Tensho, I would naturally not speak falsehoods. These past few days, I have been lurking around Neon, collecting evidence of his various crimes!"
"Hard work pays off!"
"This scoundrel, Neon, believed that I was in league with him and trusted me implicitly. He did not hide his various schemes from me, and I have successfully gathered all the evidence of his crimes!"
As he spoke, "Wang Jiujiu" flipped his palm and produced three "Mirage Pearls."
The "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," having recovered from his initial shock, his eyes turned extremely venomous.
He never dreamed that this double-dealer, "Wang Jiujiu," would dare to "turn traitor at the crucial moment" and betray him!
How detestable!
If looks could kill, "Wang Jiujiu" would have been dismembered a thousand times over by the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son's" venomous gaze.
However, when the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" saw that "Wang Jiujiu" had produced three "Mirage Pearls."
His heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically.
The original venomous ferocity vanished completely, replaced by boundless panic.
The "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," a cultivator born and raised in the "Endless Outer Seas," knew the function of "Mirage Pearls" all too well!
These special "heavenly treasures" could record and play back images.
At this moment, "Wang Jiujiu" producing three "Mirage Pearls" could only mean one thing: they recorded the "schemes and conspiracies" that the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" and "Wang Jiujiu" had discussed.
Those insidious and dirty methods were all illicit and could not see the light of day. If exposed, he would be finished!
"Wang Jiujiu, you dog of the Grand New Dynasty, you have treacherous ambitions and are deliberately trying to disrupt the unity and stability of our Three Immortals Sword Sect. I will not let you succeed, I will kill you!"
In his panic, the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" roared, activating his sword qi divine abilities, and fiercely struck out at "Wang Jiujiu."
No, to be precise, the target of the "fierce sword qi" unleashed by the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" was not "Wang Jiujiu" himself, but the three "Mirage Pearls" that "Wang Jiujiu" held.
"Wang Jiujiu," of course, was not one to passively await his doom. These three Mirage Pearls were related to his bright future, and he could not afford to lose them.
Whoosh!
"Wang Jiujiu" flipped his palm, producing a "battle halberd artifact," and blocked the fiercely attacking sword qi.
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
The two engaged in an extremely fierce battle.
Both were top-tier experts, and for a time, the outcome was undecided.
"Stop!"
"Tensho Zhenren" roared.
He was truly enraged.
Did anyone still have him, a "Nascent Soul Ancestor," in their eyes?
"Tensho Zhenren" flipped his palm, and magnificent, vast true essence surged out. With a mere sweep, he effortlessly drew one of the "Mirage Pearls" into his hand.
"Tensho Zhenren" looked at these three "Mirage Pearls," a glint flashing in his eyes.
The next second, "Tensho Zhenren" clenched his fist, preparing to crush the three "Mirage Pearls."
His decision to do so surprised everyone, yet it was also within reason.
The contents recorded within the three "Mirage Pearls" were undoubtedly unsightly "schemes and conspiracies."
If these "criminal evidences" were made public, not only would the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" be in trouble, but the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" would also be implicated, becoming an object of ridicule and contempt.
The "Yingzhou Sword Sect" nurtured a degenerate like the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son," indicating that the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" had improper precepts and was a place where filth was harbored.
For the sake of the "Yingzhou Sword Sect's" reputation spanning hundreds of thousands of years, "Tensho Zhenren" had to destroy these three "Mirage Pearls."
However, just as he was about to do so, an unexpected event occurred.
A spiritual art, arriving later but striking first, landed on the three "Mirage Pearls."
The three "Mirage Pearls" were instantly activated, simultaneously displaying scenes.
The content was super explosive!
Including, but not limited to: how the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" planned to bribe the "Grand Elders" of the "Penglai Sword Sect" and the "Fangzhang Sword Sect" with money...
Among them, the "Unrestrained Daoist" of the "Fangzhang Sword Sect" was clearly present.
The "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" spent less than "one million low-grade spirit stones" to bribe the "Unrestrained Elder."
In the video footage, "Liu Sheng-sensei," the "Neon Quasi-Holy Son's" top strategist, said with slight worry.
"Your Highness, we are using less than one million low-grade spirit stones to bribe the Unrestrained Daoist. Isn't that too little?"
The "Neon Quasi-Holy Son" sneered dismissively.
"That old dog is not worth more than fifty thousand to me, let alone one million... he's only worth fifty thousand..."
