After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 346 Reversal
"If this is true, then the disciples of the Immortal Sect have indeed gone too far. We cultivators are already defying the heavens, facing countless difficulties, so why must we kill each other? If all sects acted this way, what kind of atmosphere would this continent have?"

A male cultivator with a goatee in the Hundred Gathering Alliance spoke up, expressing his disapproval of the Immortal Sect: "We, the righteous sects, are supposed to set an example for cultivators. If we all act this way, how can those unorthodox sects possibly operate?"

This person is quite interesting. He seems to be criticizing the Immortal Sect, but when he talks about "heretical practices," he glances at the Black Cliff Sect.

Clearly, he didn't take sides, and slapped both of them.

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. If you kill someone, you should pay with your life..." A square-faced male cultivator in the Hundred Alliance said with a serious expression.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Lan stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting to the crowd, saying, "There may be some misunderstanding among you all, please allow me to explain."

Her face was still pale, but her eyes showed no fear.

"Heh, what else do you want to say? You don't mean to argue that what you said earlier was wrong, do you?" The square-faced male cultivator looked over with a sneer.

“What I said earlier was correct. The people from Wuya Sect were indeed killed by disciples of our Xianlai Sect,” Chen Lan said.

This caused another uproar in the crowd.

I thought that after she regained consciousness, this female disciple would argue and find reasons to exonerate the sect, but I never expected that she would actually admit it!
If you admit it while you're sober, then there's absolutely no room for negotiation!

Some people were already looking towards the Immortal Sect, wanting to see what Xu Yihan's expression was like now.

No matter who you look at it from, Chen Lan, this female disciple, has caused a huge disaster for the sect! Even if she did such a thing, she can't admit it to someone's face and give them cause for gossip!

It's estimated that Xu Yihan, as the sect leader, was extremely angry at this moment and wished he could shut this disciple up on the spot.

But everyone was puzzled when they saw it, because Xu Yihan was standing there calmly, with no sign of anxiety or anger.

Some observant people had already sensed something was amiss, because the Wuya Sect had been acting aggressively since they appeared today, while the Xianlai Sect remained calm and unhurried. Xu Yihan even advised everyone to stay calm and that it wouldn't be too late to discuss things after the disciples came out of the secret realm.

With the Immortal Sect about to be punished, Xu Yihan remains so calm. Could it be... that there's something going on behind the scenes?
“Since you admit it…” the square-faced male cultivator was about to speak again.

“I admit it, but let me ask you, if Wuya Sect provoked the assassination first, and we defended ourselves afterward, would that mean we were at fault?” Chen Lan interrupted him again and asked in return.

"Defense?" The male cultivator was taken aback, then said angrily in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up right now!"

This male cultivator is a manager of the Zhongding Sect, named Yu Hao.

Zhongding Sect is a sect that mainly cultivates weapon crafting and recruits weapon crafters. It ranks very high in terms of weapon crafters, but in terms of the overall strength of the sect, it is not that great. Yu Hao himself is an elder of a small family, but the family's development is limited, and it has always been in a mediocre position. The same is true for the sect he belongs to.

As time went on, he became anxious, and one day, after being approached by people from the Wuya Sect, he secretly joined their ranks.

He had received news early on that Wuya Sect was going to cause trouble for Xianlai Sect, and he had also secretly promised that person that he would do his best to make this happen and make Xianlai Sect pay a heavy price!

So when he heard Chen Lan admit to it, he stepped forward, eager to make a final decision and seal the matter to prevent any further trouble.

"This is utter nonsense! Even now, you still want to distort the truth!" Meng Ying rebuked, her face flushed with emotion, looking heartbroken. "My poor son died tragically in the secret realm. Before he died, he sent me a telepathic message explaining the truth. If you don't believe me, listen to this—"

Meng Ying took out a talisman that looked like a magic talisman. He channeled his spiritual energy into it, and then a weak male voice sounded from within—

"Father, your son and 1,200 disciples of the Wuya Sect have mistakenly fallen into an ambush set by the Xianlai Sect. They coveted the many treasures we obtained in the secret realm. In order to seize the treasures, they first laid traps, then poisoned us, and then tortured and killed our disciples... More than a thousand people died just like that, their blood flowed like a river, staining the secret realm red..."

The person speaking seemed to be enduring great pain; their voice was broken and intermittent, with a sobbing tone that was unbearable to hear.

"It's my fault. I brought my fellow disciples into the secret realm, but they didn't come out alive. I can only blame my useless son for failing my father's expectations."

"I escaped temporarily thanks to the protection of my fellow disciples, but I am now severely injured and fear I will not survive. However, I will fight to the last breath to tell you the truth! The revenge for my Wuya Sect is waiting for you, Father, to avenge us!"

The sound stopped abruptly there.

Chen Lan and Du Yue exchanged glances, all of them frowning slightly.

The voice did sound a bit like Meng Ren at first glance, but it couldn't possibly be him!
Meng died right in front of them. He did try to send a telepathic message before he died, but they stopped him. He didn't have a chance to send it, let alone say so many words.

Furthermore, the content of these words is a complete distortion of the truth, claiming that the Immortal Sect killed people to seize treasures... How could he say such a thing!
No need to think about it, this is definitely fabricated evidence. As long as the content matches, who really cares whether the speaker is Meng Reng or not!
Ultimately, Wuya Sect just needed a pretext to come knocking on their door. Even if that pretext was fabricated, so what? As long as Wuya Sect's more than a thousand disciples were really dead, then Xianlai Sect would be unable to escape responsibility!
"These are the last words my son, Meng Reng, left me."

Meng Ying gripped the talisman tightly, tears streaming down her face, and said with deep sorrow, "Fortunately, he explained everything before he died, and fortunately, I knew that messages couldn't be sent out from the secret realm. Just in case, I gave my son this talisman. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark, probably still waiting anxiously for my disciples to return to the sect!"

Some of the independent cultivators were moved.

"Although this old guy isn't a great person, he's a pretty good father. The father-son relationship is really touching!"

"Alas, I heard that Meng was still his most beloved son. This trip to the secret realm was to train him so that he could be entrusted with the important affairs of the sect in the future. I never expected that he would die in the secret realm."

"The tables have turned. It used to be the Black Cliff Sect that bullied others, but now the tables have turned."
