Whether inside or outside Cang Mountain, Wei Chen's words struck like a heavy hammer, resounding in the hearts of everyone present.
Everyone was stunned, their minds buzzing.
"What the hell, Master Jin is that bad?"
"Isn't it? It's outrageous! I never expected Master Jin to be that kind of person!"
"Can we really trust Wei Chen's words?"
"Hold on before jumping to conclusions; let's hear how Master Jin explains himself first."
...
Inside the hall, Master Jin struggled to sit up straight, looking down at Wei Chen with a cold voice. "Bastard, if you want to slander me, at least find a suitable excuse! The Nine Dragon Coffin Formation is my life's work. You obtained all the blueprints for the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation and are using this excuse to frame me for your own greed. Who is truly deserving of condemnation here? Besides, your claims are merely speculation without any evidence. Creating an inexplicable trial assembly only makes you a laughingstock. Let me tell you, this matter is far from over! When Thunder Sovereign arrives, he will decide!"
Upon hearing Master Jin's words, those around Cang Mountain began to ponder; there was some truth in what Master Jin said!
"You have nothing now; all those claims are just Wei Chen's one-sided words. Who can know if Master Jin intends to use the formation to eliminate everyone on Cang Mountain?"
"Exactly! I believe Master Jin wouldn't do that. He is from the Fire Sect, and no matter how powerful the Fire Sect is, they wouldn't risk provoking a rebellion by wiping out everyone on Cang Mountain."
"I've known all along that this matter isn't so simple. It's hard to discern right from wrong at this point."
...
The power of discussion is formidable. Wei Chen chose to hold that public trial on Cang Mountain, allowing those outside to hear the voices from within the hall while he remained oblivious to their murmurs—this was precisely why.
With so many chattering voices inexplicably ringing in his ears, it held no meaning and only served to make Master Jin secretly pleased.
Wei Chen sneered, "Master Jin, do you really think this will overwhelm me? If I want to kill you, even if the Thunder Sovereign himself comes, I will do it right in front of him! What are you? You're just a dog of the Soul Palace!"
The mention of the Soul Palace left everyone stunned. How did this involve the Soul Palace?
Master Jin shouted angrily, "Bastard, we are both from the Soul Palace. Do you have any evidence? If not, you owe an apology to the Fire Sect! The Old Man is a Siege Mage of the Fire Sect, with a respectable status. You can't just slander him without proof!"
Hearing Master Jin's words, Wei Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Then let me make sure you die clearly!"
With that, Wei Chen stepped down from the high platform and raised his sword, striking fiercely at Master Jin's leg.
A scream like that of a slaughtered pig echoed, shocking countless onlookers.
"People from the Soul Palace have different physiques than ordinary people. The blood of those from the Soul Palace is dark in color; some powerful members even have pure black blood! Your blood shows little red but instead is dark. How do you explain that?"
"Ridiculous! Everyone has different physiques. My blood is dark because of my unique constitution. What does that have to do with the Soul Palace?"
"Heh heh, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Let's wait for the Soul Palace's army to arrive. I'll personally kill a few high-ranking members of the Soul Palace to compare with your blood."
As soon as Wei Chen finished speaking, he flashed away, quickly breaking through the Azure Mountain Guardian Formation and looking far into the distance.
A massive warship roared toward them!
On that warship flew the flag of the Fire Sect!
"Wei Chen brother, thank you for ridding us of threats for the Fire Sect! I just received news that Master Jin is indeed from the Soul Palace. I'm sorry for being blind and allowing someone from the Soul Palace to come to your Peach Blossom Sect. Thankfully, no harm was done; otherwise, I would have had to take my own life to apologize!"
A voice echoed, stirring up a tremendous wave that rolled forth!
The terrifying sound surged directly toward Wei Chen!
Seeing this scene, everyone was struck with awe. Thunderstorm had personally arrived?
While he spoke words of apology, it was clear he intended to give Wei Chen a show of strength.
Wei Chen, merely at the Human Soul Realm Fifth Level, was undoubtedly invincible among the younger generation. However, there were always stronger figures beyond the mountains, especially the acknowledged strongest in the realm, Thunderstorm. A casual wave from him would be something Wei Chen could not withstand!
With a smile on his lips, Wei Chen stood still as the Heat Wave roared and swept toward him.
As it approached within ten feet of Wei Chen, to everyone's astonishment, the Heat Wave suddenly dissipated into thin air, as if it had never existed.
"Hahaha! Brother Wei Chen, what great spirit you have! How did you know my Heat Wave would automatically dissipate?"
Thunderstorm appeared in an instant, standing ten meters away from Wei Chen with a cheerful expression.
Wei Chen slightly cupped his fists and replied to Thunderstorm, "It's simple. First, you wouldn't inexplicably target me. Second, I sensed your Heat Wave; during its ascent, its momentum gradually weakened. Third, you showed no intent to kill just now. Thunder Sovereign, am I right?"
"All correct! Brother Wei Chen, it's been a while since we last met, and your strength has grown even more impressive! When I was your age, I was only at the Human Soul Realm First Level," Thunderstorm chuckled warmly. His voice was not loud, as if he were just chatting with Wei Chen. Yet his words clearly reached everyone's ears.
Wei Chen responded, "Thunder Sovereign, you are truly remarkable. However, your subordinate Master Jin turned out to be from the Soul Palace. It seems your Fire Sect is not as stable as it appears."
"Brother Wei Chen, thank you for capturing Master Jin for me. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to apprehend high-ranking members of the Soul Palace. Master Jin has been a spy for the Soul Palace embedded in our Fire Sect for decades. Over the years, every operation against the Soul Palace has been preemptively detected by them. I thought the Soul Palace was incredibly powerful; little did I know that there were issues within our Fire Sect. But now that the problem is resolved and Master Jin's faction has been eradicated, feel free to kill Master Jin at your convenience. Killing high-ranking members of the Soul Palace is a significant achievement; I won't compete with you for it," Thunderstorm said with a chuckle, as if dismissing Master Jin as inconsequential.
Only he knew how furious he had been upon receiving accurate information about this betrayal.
Time and again, the attempts to deal with the Soul Palace had failed due to Master Jin's prior warnings, leaving Thunderstorm seething with anger.
How could it be that such a powerful Cloud Spirit Sect had infiltrators from the Soul Palace? Thunderstorm's face was devoid of light, and he lacked even the strength to kill Master Jin.
In Thunderstorm's eyes, Wei Chen saw an overwhelming fury.
Alongside the anger, there was a hint of heartache.
After all these years, he had treated Master Jin with utmost respect and generosity. Master Jin's status in the Fire Sect was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
To think that someone who had always been favored and respected by Thunderstorm was actually a spy for the Soul Palace—one could only imagine the frustration and discomfort Thunderstorm felt.
"Well, thank you for your kindness, Thunder Sovereign. There is no doubt that Master Jin is a spy for the Soul Palace. I have already killed several members of the Soul Palace; killing one more, like Master Jin, would not dirty my hands."
Wei Chen raised his hand, examining it closely before adding with a smile, "My hands have long been stained."
"Brother Wei Chen, why must you belittle yourself? Not just anyone can kill members of the Soul Palace. You have done so multiple times, even taking down high-ranking officials. You are truly the first in the entire realm."
"Thunder Sovereign, please come up the mountain. Your personal visit will surely bring great honor to Peach Blossom Sect."
…
The Fire Sect's Warship entered Cang Mountain, and all amplification formations were shut down. What transpired above was beyond the reach of those around Cang Mountain.
However, the earlier scene—the conversation between Wei Chen and Thunderstorm—had already stirred up tremendous waves in everyone's hearts.
"Master Jin is truly a spy for the Soul Palace?"
"Of course, with Young Master Wei Chen and Thunder Sovereign both in that state, how could it be fake?"
"Sigh, how did a perfectly fine Formation Master end up as a spy for the Soul Palace? Just how powerful is the Soul Palace that they can place spies within the Fire Sect?"
"If there are spies from the Soul Palace in the Fire Sect, just think about it—could there be none in our own Cloud Spirit Sect?"
"Exactly. If the Soul Palace can infiltrate the Fire Sect, they can easily penetrate our Cloud Spirit Sect as well. Perhaps among us, there are already spies from the Soul Palace."
"Tch, you idiots. The Soul Palace only cares about those top-tier forces. A small force like ours would probably have our information handed over to them without a second thought, and they wouldn't even want it."
"That's true. We don't even have the qualifications to send information to the Soul Palace. The real major events are all controlled by those top-tier forces; we have no right to know or participate."
"The matter regarding Master Jin is no longer the focus; what’s important is the strange relationship between Thunderstorm and Wei Chen."
"Yes, Thunder Sovereign seems to show some deference towards Wei Chen, while Wei Chen appears polite on the surface but is actually quite sarcastic."
"Who exactly is Wei Chen?"
"It’s rumored that within the Peach Blossom Sect, there’s someone capable of killing a Peak Soul Realm Expert with a single sword strike. That person must be the one who gives Wei Chen such confidence. He really dares to speak to Thunder Sovereign like that."
"When one has enough confidence, they don’t care who the other party is. Sigh, that annoying Fellow! Why did he turn off the amplification formation? I really want to know what happened to Master Jin."
...
Above Cang Mountain, in the Council Hall, Wei Chen still sat in the main seat while Donghua had given his position to Thunderstorm.
Donghua stood behind Wei Chen, holding a wooden sword, his gaze lowered and motionless.
Thunderstorm's gaze wandered, assessing the true strength of the Peach Blossom Sect. The aura of Gu Yuehong sent chills down his spine, while Donghua made him even more anxious.
Donghua's presence seemed almost breathless, yet this was the person who, with a wooden sword, severed a mountain range from dozens of miles away!
Such power had already surpassed the realm of Soul World.
It was precisely because of Donghua's existence that the Peach Blossom Sect gained the qualification to stand on equal footing with the Fire Sect.
After a long moment, Thunderstorm approached the now crippled Master Jin, pain flickering in his eyes as he asked softly, "Master Jin, I have treated you well. Why did you betray me?"
"Hmph! What do you mean by betrayal? I have always been a part of the Soul Palace. From the moment I was born, it was destined! I infiltrated the Fire Sect and lay low for decades just to find an opportunity like this to push the Fire Sect into an abyss from which it could never return! If it weren't for Wei Chen, my plan would have already succeeded!"
If the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation had been activated and killed everyone on Cang Mountain, the blame that Fire Sect would bear would make them the target of attacks across the entire continent.
Thunderstorm was well aware of this, which is why he treated Wei Chen with unusual courtesy.
"Master Jin, your mastery of formations is indeed impressive. The one who taught you must not be from Soul World, right? During your time, did you ever visit another world?"
Thunderstorm fixed his gaze on Master Jin and quietly transmitted his voice.
The exact same words were relayed by Donghua to Wei Chen. Transmitting a message in front of Donghua was no different from speaking aloud; there was no distinction.
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen narrowed his eyes. The other world must be the Upper Realm of Soul World—the so-called Soul World.
