Feng Qingcheng deliberately swept her gaze around.
There was no sign of Si Jianye, nor was Grandpa Luo anywhere to be found.
She then bit her lip, gritting her teeth as she glared at Feng Ninghe, her venomous voice seeming to want to flay the woman alive, "Feng Ninghe, you've finally decided to show yourself. I thought you were going to be a coward hiding in the First Sect for your entire life!"
Feng Ninghe ignored her, calmly shifting her gaze to Si Xin Xin, her gentle voice slowly descending, "Xin Xin, you just stay here obediently. No matter what happens, just watch from the side. Mother will handle everything."
Si Xin Xin nodded obediently, her tender cheeks incredibly cute, "Don't worry, Mother. Xin Xin will stay here obediently."
"Listen quickly, that child called Feng Ninghe 'Mother'! I never expected this woman to already have a child. If we capture this little girl, won't we be able to easily force Feng Ninghe to surrender?"
"Look carefully at the child's face. That's the daughter of the King of Hell! If we offend the King of Hell, all of us might be buried here!"
"How can the King of Hell's child call her Mother? Could it be that they..."
The cultivators immediately erupted, constantly muttering.
The world knew the King of Hell had a daughter, but this child had lost her mother long ago. Now, a 'mother' had appeared, and the cultivators couldn't help but speculate.
Not far away.
Several figures stood quietly.
Gong Yi Yuan clicked his tongue, a hint of emotion in his eyes, "My little disciple is truly capable, to attract major sects to come and attack. The First Sect hasn't been this lively in a thousand years."
Everyone surrounded the First Sect, all for the purpose of attacking Feng Ninghe.
Even though disciples of the First Sect were in trouble, Gong Yi Yuan acted like an outsider, unconcerned, and was here to spectate.
Si Jianye slightly raised his eyes, quietly gazing at everything before him, the sharp lines of his face tinged with a chilling coldness.
His eyes could only hold those two figures, one large and one small...
Grandpa Luo gently stroked his chin, a strong curiosity lingering in his eyes, "Interesting. I'm curious how this matter will be resolved."
To be surrounded by several major sects was also a kind of ability.
The woman chosen by Si Jianye was indeed extraordinary.
"Feng Ninghe, you murdered a disciple of the Immortal Sect. You must give us an explanation today!"
Feng Qingcheng raised her voice, speaking righteously as she looked at Feng Ninghe.
Upon mentioning the murdered disciples of the Immortal Sect, the disciples of the Immortal Sect instantly became agitated.
They glared fiercely at Feng Ninghe, constantly accusing, "Feng Ninghe, although Wang Junzhao offended you, you shouldn't have been so cruel as to skin her alive!"
"Wang Junzhao died so miserably! There isn't a single intact piece of skin on her body!"
"Feng Ninghe, you demoness! Only by paying with your life can the innocent and tragically deceased Wang Junzhao rest in peace!"
The disciples of the Immortal Sect were indignant, constantly accusing.
As the words reached her ears, Feng Ninghe raised her delicate eyebrows, a hint of confusion clouding her eyes, "Wang Junzhao is dead?"
Bai Nian Nian came closer at this moment and whispered, "Master, Wang Junzhao was somehow brutally murdered, and they insist it was you who killed her. Feng Qingcheng also has a token from the Feng family patriarch, which she claims to have found on Wang Junzhao..."
In a few words, the entire story was explained.
Feng Ninghe immediately turned her gaze to the disciples of the Immortal Sect before her, her composed female voice slowly descending, "Wang Junzhao's death has nothing to do with me. I have been at the First Sect all this time and have not left. Everyone at the First Sect can testify for me."
Bai Li Yang grunted, unwilling to believe her, "Feng Ninghe, the people of the First Sect will naturally speak for you. Who knows if you conspired beforehand."
Feng Qingcheng raised her hand, and a jade pendant appeared in her palm, "When Wang Junzhao was brutally murdered, we found this jade pendant on her. Only you possess this jade. The true culprit behind Wang Junzhao's murder is you!"
Her righteous words convinced everyone.
Feng Ninghe scoffed, laughing coldly, disdain in her eyes, "Although I am the Feng family patriarch, I have never possessed this jade pendant. If I remember correctly, this jade pendant has always been on your father."
In her eyes, a jade pendant was nothing.
Nor could it determine who was in charge of the Feng family.
Therefore, she had never cared about possessing a jade pendant that represented the patriarch's status.
The current Feng family recognized people, not jade.
"I knew you would say that."
Feng Qingcheng slightly raised her eyelids, her eyes shining with a dark light, "The jade pendant has long been gone from my father's possession; you took it. Even with conclusive evidence, you would never admit to murder. Poor Wang Junzhao died so tragically."
"Sister Qingcheng, stop wasting your breath with this slut. I say we just attack her and make her pay with blood!"
"Our Immortal Sect has already lost many disciples because of her! We can't afford any more casualties!"
The disciples of the Immortal Sect roared, looking at Feng Ninghe as if she were a mortal enemy.
Feng Qingcheng's lips, hidden by her veil, curved upwards, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.
This outcome was exactly what she wanted.
Feng Ninghe's character was flawed, and she deserved to be condemned by everyone.
"Want to move against Little Junior Sister?"
Gu Yingwei stepped forward, speaking righteously as he looked at the restless crowd, "The people of my First Sect are not cats and dogs that anyone can just mess with. If you want to touch her, ask me first!"
His honest face turned serious and solemn due to his stern demeanor.
Seeing her honest second senior brother with a stern face, Feng Ninghe was unaccustomed to it and twitched her lips uncomfortably.
"And me!"
"If you want to bully Little Junior Sister, you have to ask if we agree!"
Gu Er Wei and Gu San Wei stepped forward without hesitation.
Feng Yi gently rubbed his fists and twisted his neck, loosening his joints, "Dealing with a bunch of scoundrels like you, a few of us are enough. My arms haven't been used in a long time, and I've been itching for a fight."
Feng Yi appeared eager to fight.
Looking at the people beside her, Feng Ninghe felt an inexplicable emotion flow through her heart.
This feeling of having someone protect her and fight alongside her was heartwarming.
At this moment, Feng Ninghe also understood the meaning of a sect.
Joining a sect was not just for learning, but for protection.
If she was in trouble today, the people of the First Sect stood by her without hesitation. If the First Sect were in trouble in the future, she would also do her utmost to help.
Tang Zun raised his horsetail whisk, a powerful spiritual energy emanating from him, demonstrating his power to the crowd before him, "We have no intention of opposing the First Sect, but if the First Sect aids evil, then don't blame us. You are the ones who challenged the authority of the major sects first!"
Gu San Wei clicked his tongue and provocatively looked at Tang Zun, "You're wearing a Taoist robe, and those who don't know might think you're an immortal Taoist priest. I say you're just a cat or dog wearing a Taoist robe, not worth anything."
