Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1732 I only ate a bowl of noodles
"I didn't see Hanzhixian at all. I just went back to look for her because I accidentally lost a jade pendant when I passed by that courtyard!"

"Could it be that you enhanced your own essence with that 'mysterious' jade pendant? Can you take it out and let your fellow disciples see it?" The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit pressed aggressively.

"This...this has nothing to do with the origin."

"Then why has your origin suddenly become so much stronger? Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire? Tell me! So that I, your inferior senior sister, can also learn from you?" The Fire Spirit Mother spoke sharply, clearly furious to the extreme.

Luo Xuan avoided discussing the fact that his own origin had been strengthened, and instead tried to defend himself from another angle. However, judging from the eyes of the disciples of the Jie Sect, his explanation was dry and lacked any strength.

He dared not answer the question from the Holy Mother of Fire; saying anything more would be useless.

Everyone has already concluded that he was the one who killed Han Zhixian.

If you have nothing to hide, explain why you secretly ran away last night. Also, explain why your inner power suddenly grew stronger. Is there any secret to it?
Duobao stroked his beard and pondered. This Luo Xuan did seem to have some problems. He hadn't wronged him. It seemed that fate was still on his side!

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around him, Luo Xuan felt his heart sink to the bottom of the sea.

No one can save him, and he can't save himself either, but he can preserve his last bit of honor.

Death is not scary; what is scary is being disgraced and ruined.

He roared, "All the disciples of the Jie Sect are here now, and everyone is a witness. Fire Spirit, I will prove it to you right now! I did not kill Han Zhixian, nor did I steal any of her Wind Essence!"

How can this be proven? Xiao Wu peeked out from behind the clouds and immediately went into "watching the show" mode.

The same question arose in the minds of many disciples of the Jie Sect, but only a handful of people, such as Duobao and Yunxiao, guessed his thoughts.

The group had different thoughts, but none of them tried to stop them.

Luo Xuan shouted loudly. Instead of choosing to separate his primordial spirit from his body, he used his primordial spirit to mobilize the power of the Shangqing Dharma, shattering his physical body from the inside out.

The Holy Mother of Fire looked puzzled, not understanding what he was trying to do.

Luo Xuan was in great pain. He used his magic power to shatter his primordial spirit once again, and used the last bit of his divine sense to dig deep into his soul. Three breaths later, a vortex of light with a pale red glow flew out on its own.

"This is the first of the Seven Souls, the Corpse Dog. Senior Sister Fire Spirit, fellow disciples, please look inside. Is there any Wind Essence Source of Han Zhixian?"

Without the support of the whole soul and Luo Xuan's magic power, the extracted soul fragment was like a candle in a storm, quickly going out.

There was no further comment from the Holy Mother of Fire.

If the physical body collapses, but the primordial spirit is preserved intact, it can still be reincarnated.

Now that his primordial spirit is shattered and his seven souls have been forcibly extracted, this is aimed at annihilating both his body and soul.

She was quick to have the fire spirit shatter the enemy's soul without hesitation, but if she were to do it to herself, she would have to think twice; she probably didn't have the courage.

The many disciples of the Jie Sect present fell silent, and only Luo Xuan's voice could be heard.

"This is the second of the Seven Souls, Fushi. Senior Sister Huoling, fellow disciples, please take a look and see if there is any Wind Essence Source of Hanzhixian inside."

"This is... cough cough, this is the third of the Seven Souls, Sparrow Yin. Senior Sister Fire Spirit, does it contain... Han Zhixian's Wind Essence?"

"This is the first of the three souls, the Embryo Light. Senior Sister Fire Spirit, please look here, is there Han Zhixian's Wind Essence within?"

Luo Xuan brutally ripped out his own two souls and five spirits. Not a drop of blood was shed, yet the scene was ten times more gruesome than any bloodshed. This was a seeker of the Dao using his final act of defiance to prove the injustice in his heart. The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit was deeply shocked, even doubting her own eyes for a moment. Had she truly witnessed Luo Xuan murder Han Zhixian?

Faced with Luo Xuan's hateful gaze, she stammered, unable to utter a word.

She looked at Daoist Duobao for help.

Duobao was also in a state of panic. Luo Xuan was completely beyond saving; he was just a minor character, and Duobao didn't care about Luo Xuan's life at all.

However, this disciple of the Jie Sect was much more resolute than he had imagined, and actually used such a decisive method to prove his innocence.

If he proves his innocence, a question will inevitably arise: who killed Han Zhixian? Duobao's plan to make the case airtight will be completely thwarted.

Duobao knew one thing very well: the more lies you tell, the bigger the flaws will become in the end.

We must act swiftly and decisively to bring this matter to a close.

As various thoughts arose one after another, he had no choice but to select the option that seemed to have the least impact on himself.

"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Seeing that Luo Xuan only had one soul and two spirits left, he stepped forward like a kind old man and decisively took action.

A pale purple aura of Shangqing magic enveloped Luo Xuan, fixing his soul, which was on the verge of complete collapse, from the outside in.

"Our fate in this life has come to an end. May you enter the Jie Sect again in your next life. Now go." Duobao suppressed the lightning power within his body and waved his hand. The soul and two spirits belonging to Luo Xuan were not completely separated before he sent them to the Netherworld.

Although he was born with one soul and two spirits, Luo Xuan in this life was at least a Golden Immortal, so he might be able to walk the path of immortality again.

There is still a sliver of hope for returning to the Immortal Path, but that person will definitely no longer be Luo Xuan.

Duobao's move can be interpreted in many ways.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser, so murder is one way to cover it up.

It's pitiful that the younger generation's cultivation is not easy. They were willing to risk some gossip to protect Luo Xuan's soul and two spirits, so that he would still have a chance to be reincarnated. This is also one interpretation.

Duobao will not offer any explanation; you can think whatever you want.

He glanced at the Holy Mother of Fire with a look that was a mixture of regret, disappointment, and reproach.

"Teacher, me!"

"No need to say more, I trust you."

With Han Zhixian's death considered a close call, Duobao continued his seclusion, needing to carefully consider his path in cultivation.

Having reached his level, he's long past the stage of asking his teacher for help when he encounters difficulties. Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader were here, he wouldn't ask such a question.

This is your own business, and you have to make the decision yourself.

Back then, Nuwa was the first to achieve sainthood through merit. It was impossible for Tongtian Jiaozhu to go to Zixiao Palace to ask Hongjun, "Teacher, should I wait until my own merits are complete before severing the three corpses and then go to prove the Dao of Hunyuan?"
You are not a child. Do what you think you should do. Whether it's good or bad, it's your own business.

Now Duobao can only think for himself: should he abandon the seemingly profound Thunder Path and return to the True Path, or should he regard this matter as a great opportunity and continue to delve deeper into this path? He needs to think carefully and come up with a proper solution.
