302: Chapter 52: I, Xie Zhen, Have No Regrets to the World (6K3)_2 302: Chapter 52: I, Xie Zhen, Have No Regrets to the World (6K3)_2 Back then, Master Shu Ning and the disciples of Tai Shang House were all defeated by Xie Xuanyi.
However…
It is worth mentioning that compared to Fang Hang, Shang Yi’s sword moves were much more “seasoned.”
With the ease of a spring breeze and wild grass, Xie Xuanyi suppressed the sword momentum of this white-clad fairy.
After a few simple exchanges, he realized that Shang Yi had come following the noise to relieve Fang Hang, wanting only to drive him back, not intending to kill with a single strike.
The swordsmanship of Yuqing Pavilion is not taught by “merciful” Bodhisattvas; when Shu Ning fought back then, every move was brimming with killing intent, but this Miss Shang deliberately hid her killing techniques and did not use them directly!
Consequently, Xie Xuanyi did not need to employ the “Rule of Destruction.”
The two exchanged blows with Sword Qi, and within a few breaths, all of the disciples of Yuqing Pavilion had arrived, stepping into the expanse of the array patterns.
The dragon fire had already withered away.
The Taoist disciple Fang Hang of Tai Shang House immediately retreated behind the crowd, covering the fresh blood on his shoulder, his complexion pale.
He exclaimed loudly, “Junior Sister Shang, be extremely careful!
This Xie demon is ruthless and vicious, Prince Jiangning has just died by his hand just now!”
“Xie Zhen…”
Shang Yi frowned slightly.
She caught sight of the blood-drenched corpse at the end of the vast ruins and coldly said, “You killed Xie Sheng?!”
“Heh.”
Xie Xuanyi just chuckled lightly, then asked indifferently, “Miss Shang, if I say that Xie Sheng’s death has nothing to do with me, would you believe me?”
Shang Yi was taken aback for a moment.
“I believe!”
Right then.
A familiar voice suddenly resonated amidst the crowd!
The thought that Xie Xuanyi had been ready to act upon, using the Rule of Destruction, was suddenly diminished by a third upon hearing this sound.
One could see among the ranks of the female disciples of Yuqing Pavilion, several figures were wearing the attire of Baihua Valley.
The one speaking up for Xie Zhen was none other than Yuan Yi.
At this moment, dozens of gazes fell upon Yuan Yi.
“Little girl, what do you know?”
The injured Taoist disciple of Tai Shang House, holding his wound, scolded with a stern face, “This Xie is a great demon!
Did you not hear the transmission from Xie Sheng before his death?”
Earlier.
Xie Sheng had sent a message to the end of the ruins with a trembling thunderous voice before dying.
Clearly.
This Prince Jiangning knew his life was not long, and he had sensed people coming from the outside world…
He sought to splash the dirty water onto Xie Zhen!
He succeeded.
Xie Xuanyi looked towards the fairies of Yuqing Pavilion, sensing that their gazes upon him were filled with hostility.
Clearly.
Xie Sheng’s transmission had reached the end of the ruins, to the ears of these people.
“And what do you know?”
Yuan Yi gritted her teeth, irritably said, “Mr.
Xie fought bloodily at Beihai Ling to save Baihua Valley, slaying several dozen Evil Cultivators from South Border!”
Xie Xuanyi’s heartstrings were faintly touched.
That day.
He had simply acted according to his heart’s desire.
Yet in Yuan Yi’s view, it was as if Xie Zhen had appeared as a “savior” just as the sky was falling.
No matter what, Xie Xuanyi had slain all those Evil Cultivators from South Border and had done his utmost to save the surviving disciples of Baihua Valley.
“You…”
The Taoist disciple of Tai Shang House was left speechless by these words, but he argued back, “Xie Zhen is a slaughterer, his master is Xie Xuanyi, how can he be anything but trouble?”
“Xie Zhen is not such a person!” Yuan Yi angrily said, “If Xie Sheng was really killed by him, then that can only prove that Xie Sheng was the demon, the villain!”
“Yuan Yi, enough!”
Lu Yuan, standing among the ranks, finally spoke.
She extended her hand with a talisman, sealing Yuan Yi’s mouth, and with just a slight lift of her hand, the vines formed by the talisman bound Yuan Yi.
This newly-promoted leader of Baihua Valley looked at Xie Xuanyi with a complicated expression and sent him an apologetic glance.
Her white clothes were stained with quite a bit of blood.
It was evident.
Baihua Valley had engaged in battle before stepping into the Secret Realm…
and the battle was fierce.
Clearly.
They had been rescued by the fairies of Yuqing Pavilion.
Owing a favor, one must act according to “the code of gratitude.”
Moreover, compared to the Taoist sect…
the forces Baihua Valley brought to the Northern Hunt were somewhat insignificant.
Given the current situation, where the Taoist disciple of Tai Shang House accused Xie Zhen of killing Prince Jiangning, it was not up to them to argue the truth.
For Yuan Yi to keep talking was meaningless and would only bring trouble for Baihua Valley.
“…”
Xie Xuanyi silently looked at Lu Yuan, his heart was calm, he felt no anger, sorrow, or anything of the sort.
From the beginning.
He had not cared about these “trifles.”
If it weren’t for the lingering regrets of Master Chong Kan, such a troublesome calamity.
He would have personally taken action and ended Xie Sheng’s life long ago.
Even if he had truly killed Xie Sheng, so what?
Therefore.
Xie Xuanyi did not care about the stance of Baihua Valley.
However…
The moment Yuan Yi spoke up for him, Xie Xuanyi experienced an unprecedented “tremor of the heart.”
This feeling was very unfamiliar.
When he was once wanted by the Da Chu Imperial Family and fled in a dire situation through the four territories, he had never heard such a voice.
The Sword Palace was silent, and all around was the clamor of killing.
Turns out, this is what being trusted feels like.
After a brief silence.
Xie Xuanyi did not look at Yuan Yi.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he dared not.
He silently turned his head away.
“Xie Zhen.
Little Master of the Sword Palace.”
Shang Yi positioned her Flying Sword against the spring breeze and wild grass and coldly began, “Xie Sheng’s corpse lies before us, and the Taoist disciple bears witness, how do you explain this?”
These words “Little Master of the Sword Palace” were supposed to be a term of respect.
But at this moment, it felt like there was a hint of mockery!
“Is a Taoist disciple’s testimony something very precious?”
Xie Xuanyi slightly tilted his head, word by word, earnestly asked, “Is a Taoist disciple’s testimony necessarily true?”
Shang Yi was taken aback for a moment.
She had not expected Xie Zhen to say such a thing.
After thinking for a moment, Shang Yi also earnestly replied, “The Taoist sect’s thousand-year reputation…
How could a distinguished Taoist disciple slander you with lies without any reason?”
