“Mr. Gu’s words might be slightly inappropriate.” At this moment, a woman walked slowly from outside the hall. She was dressed in blue, beautiful with jet-black hair. It was as if an angel had descended from heaven. She emerged clean from the silt, pure yet bewitching.

Everyone turned to look at her, changing their expressions. The elders like Mu Yan, and Meng Wuyou expressed great joy, while Zhao Dengming and others looked ashen, as if they had swallowed bitter pills.

Gu Daofeng, sitting at the head, also revealed a touch of gloom. The one he feared and worried the most, had finally appeared.

Han Yinyue had arrived!

Behind Han Yinyue, there was a delicate and frail figure following her, her younger sister Han Xiaoxing.

The appearance of the two sisters at the Pill Sect’s main hall undeniably declared the stance of the Han Family.

Gu Daofeng managed a smile on his face and said generously, “So, it’s our two beautiful nieces, what rare visitors.”

Han Yinyue smiled slightly without responding, casually walked up to the head, and sat directly in Gu Daofeng’s primary seat.

This action made everyone present shiver slightly, Gu Daofeng’s heart skipped a beat, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

After Han Yinyue sat down, she exuded a natural and calm demeanor, as if she were sitting in a very ordinary place. Han Xiaoxing stood by her side, looking blank, yet her eyes intermittently bore a fierce look like that of a sharp knife.

“Mr. Gu, I’m here for Fang Lin.” Han Yinyue said calmly.

Gu Daofeng could clearly feel an authoritative tone in Han Yinyue’s words, a tone he was accustomed to while sitting in the seat she currently occupied.

“Well, Fang Lin conspired with outsiders to murder our disciples and elders of

Pill Sect. The evidence is solid. Yinyue, you should also be aware of this.”

“Lady, Fang Lin was framed by villains!” Mu Yan suddenly shouted.

At that, Gu Daofeng’s face changed, full of rage, wanting to slap Mu Yan on the spot.

“Shut up! How dare you be so presumptuous in the hall! As of now, you, Mu Yan, are no longer an elder of my Pill Sect, get out!” Gu Daofeng roared, his face furious.

Mu Yan didn’t care and still looked at Han Yinyue.

The smile on Han Yinyue’s face gradually disappeared, soon replaced by icy coldness.

She glanced at Gu Daofeng and said lightly, “Mr. Gu, I have investigated the case of Fang Lin in detail. Those who attacked the White Elephant Mountain base were all assassins from the Hidden Kill Hall, and the cause of this incident had nothing to do with Fang Lin.”

Pausing for a moment, Han Yinyue continued without letting anyone else speak, and her frosty gaze landed on Liu Zhizhou standing among the crowd.

“Liu Zhizhou, don’t you confess your crime?” Han Yinyue’s tone suddenly intensified as she scolded.

Liu Zhizhou trembled all over and quickly stepped forward, saying, “Lady, what have I done wrong?”

Looking at Gu Daofeng with eyes pleading for help, Liu Zhizhou hoped Gu Daofeng would speak for him.

Gu Daofeng naturally didn’t want to lose a supporter and said, “Niece, Elder Liu holds high prestige in my Pill Sect, and since he has thoroughly investigated the matter of Fang Lin, there should be no blame on him.”

Han Yinyue sneered, “There should be no blame on him? Should the blame be on Fang Lin then?”

Pausing, Han Yinyue looked at Liu Zhizhou and said, “You threatened those twenty-one disciples to accuse Fang Lin. They have already admitted to me that you instructed them to frame Fang Lin. Is this true?”

Liu Zhizhou immediately panicked, knelt on the ground, and pleaded not guilty.

Gu Daofeng grew angry, ‘Yinyue, you’ve gone too far. This is the Pill Sect, and I’m the head of the Pill Sect. Even if Elder Liu made a mistake, it is up to me to investigate and decide. You should leave as soon as possible and not interfere in my affairs.”

As soon as these words came out, silence fell in the hall. Gu Daofeng was on the verge of falling out with Han Yinyue, and everyone else felt uneasy, unsure of what would happen next.

Han Yinyue remained calm, without even a ripple in her eyes.

“Liu Zhizhou framed Fang Lin, intimidated twenty-one disciples of the Pill Sect, and even secretly killed three disciples of the Pill Sect three years ago. He must be punished!” Han Yinyue said word by word.

When she finished, Liu Zhizhou’s face went pale, and he slumped to the ground. Han Yinyue had brought up his dirty deeds from three years ago, intending to ruin him.

Gu Daofeng’s face darkened as he glared at Han Yinyue, this lady had hostile intentions. From the very beginning, Han Yinyue had acted condescendingly, leaving him no face at all, and was pushing him around with her status as the Lady of Purple Mist Sect.

Furthermore, she directly found Liu Zhizhou guilty and turned things around for Fang Lin in an instant.

“I’m wronged! I’m wronged! Just because you’re the Lady doesn’t mean you can falsely accuse me!” Liu Zhizhou, knowing full well the consequences once found guilty, screamed loudly.

Han Yinyue looked at him indifferently, “Do you really want me to broadcast all your crimes to everyone?”

Liu Zhizhou’s body trembled as he looked up at Han Yinyue. At this moment, her beautiful face seemed terrifying to him.

Liu Zhizhou didn’t know how much Han Yinyue had against him, but just like she said, if she casually brought up a few things, it would be enough to ruin him.

Liu Zhizhou looked at Gu Daofeng again, but Gu Daofeng seemed to ignore him, standing silently on one side with his back to him.

Liu Zhizhou sank into despair; he was being abandoned.

Within his despair, Liu Zhizhou started wondering whether he should bring Gu Daofeng, the mastermind, down with him.

But as soon as the thought arose, Liu Zhizhou immediately dismissed it. He absolutely couldn’t implicate Gu Daofeng. If he did, the consequences would be unbearable.

“I confess!” As Liu Zhizhou pronounced these three words, he seemed to have lost all his strength, sitting limp on the ground, like a soulless figure.

Everyone around instinctively moved away from him a bit. Liu Zhizhou was finished and likely to never make a comeback.

Two burly men immediately rushed in from outside the hall, pinned Liu Zhizhou to the ground, and tied him up tightly.

These two men were not from the Pill Sect, they were clearly Han Yinyue’s subordinates.

Gu Daofeng snorted and left with a flick of his sleeve, his clenched fist behind his back revealed his vein -popping anger..
