I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 506 Framing (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On the twenty-fifth day since the opening of the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, people have been emerging one after another. These people were basically those who had not initially intended to target the Northern Xuan Demon Clan. They were honestly hunting demon beasts and collecting various resources, and after achieving their goals, they withdrew peacefully.

On Flowing Fire Island, the entrance to the secret realm, Lei Shi and You Ying disliked each other. After chatting for a few days, Lei Shi made an excuse to leave, arranging accommodation for You Ying on the island and leaving her to stay by herself.

That evening, as soon as Jiang Yi emerged from the bottom of the lake, You Ying immediately awoke from her meditation and appeared on the lakeside in a flash.

Lei Shi arrived at almost the same time as her, and both of them were shocked when they saw Jiang Yi.

"What's wrong with you?"

Youying stepped forward and supported Jiang Yi, who was almost unable to stand. She grabbed his wrist and examined it. Even though Youying was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, she was still shocked by the injuries in Jiang Yi's body and turned pale.

At this moment, Jiang Yi was like a person clinging to their last breath, about to die. Her golden core was dim and lifeless, and it was unknown what kind of potent poison she had been poisoned with.

Just as Youying was about to cry from fright, Jiang Yi gently scratched Youying's palm with his little finger, and Youying finally understood.

But Youying was still crying inside. Luckily, this brat was faking it. If something had really gone wrong, she would have been beaten to death by Jiang Yunye and Suhua when she got back.

And those old guys from the Lingxu Sword Sect, seeing that their most valued junior's Golden Core was damaged, they'd probably all immediately draw their swords and chop her down. It would be a fight between two swords, where neither could even get a chance to fight back.

Youying's frightened expression was genuine, and Leishi was also shocked by Jiang Yi's current appearance.

"What happened?"

Jiang Yi smiled weakly and bitterly, shook her head as if unwilling to speak, and only said to You Ying, "Senior You Ying, I have not failed you."

After speaking, Jiang Yi turned around and looked behind him. More than 500 Northern Xuan demons, led by Hong Li and Hua Gu, emerged one after another from the bottom of the lake, maintaining their demon beast forms, and gathered on the open ground at the edge of Liu Huo Island.

The Ink Dragon King had already been taken into the Azure Wood Cauldron by Hong Li. In front of the Nascent Soul cultivator, the illusion of being blinded by a leaf could not be concealed.

When Lei Shi saw Jiang Yizhen bring out the Northern Xuan Demon Clan, he remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was cursing Zhong Lingfei and the other three as useless people for not being able to keep an eye on them.

However, upon seeing that only five hundred or so had emerged, and that most of them were old and weak demons, Lei Shi frowned and began to scrutinize Jiang Yi again.

Jiang Yi knew that Lei Shi suspected she might possess a magical treasure, so she directly took off the bag hanging from her waist in front of Lei Shi. The bag was much larger than a regular storage bag and was specially made so that the demon-collecting pearl could not be put into it.

Jiang Yi handed the bag to You Ying without saying anything, but squeezed You Ying's hand tightly.

Youying understood and quickly put the bag away. She continued to show concern for Jiang Yi, "Thank you for your hard work. Jue Mingzi is already waiting outside Lei Ji Sect. I will send a message to him to escort these demons away. Tell me what happened to you first."

Jiang Yi used all her acting skills to glance at Lei Shi.

“This is not Lei Shi Zhen Zun’s fault. I know he must have placed the tracking talisman on me to protect me.”

Lei Shi: ?!

You Ying glared fiercely at Lei Shi, "Just say it. Even if the Cangling Sect can't stand up for you, you still have the Lingxu Sword Sect and Dao Lord Chonghe behind you!"

Jiang Yi pursed her lips and nodded, then took out a recording stone from her sleeve.

"It was Tongbaolou who ambushed me. Only then did I realize that behind them was... the Xia family of Lizhou!"

Youying suddenly looked at Leishi, and Leishi's heart skipped a beat. Although he knew that Xia Changying was behind Tongbaolou, what did that have to do with what was happening now?
The people from Tongbao Tower went in to hunt down the Northern Xuan Demon Clan. They didn't say they had a grudge against Jiang Heying, did they? Youying checked the contents of the recording stone. Jiang Yi said weakly, "True Venerable Leishi was probably also deceived by the people from Tongbao Tower. After the Kunlun Secret Realm closed, True Venerable Changying came to me, wanting the strange fire on my fox demon body. Of course, I refused."

"That's probably why I offended True Venerable Changying. He used True Venerable Leishi to arrange for three members of the Xia family to enter the secret realm and ambush me. They definitely wanted to frame Leiji Sect. Words are no proof, but luckily I recorded everything."

Youying looked at the commemorative stone, her face turning ashen. This wasn't an act; she was genuinely angry.

"Xia Changying, that ungrateful bastard!"

Although Youying was angry, she was very shrewd. In front of Leishi, she copied the recording stone several times before giving him one.

Completely bewildered, Lei Shi hurriedly checked the recording stone and found only the scene of Jiang Yi being trapped in the formation, breaking out of the formation, and finally confronting Xia Yanfeng.

The two only exchanged two sentences. Xia Yanfeng didn't explain why he wanted to kill Jiang Yi, but he did admit that his ancestor was Xia Changying. Before he could say anything more, Jiang Yi silenced him.

But Jiang Yi here looks great; he's not seriously injured.

“It’s poison!” Jiang Yi added in time. “They not only set up an ambush to kill me, but they also poisoned me at some unknown time and with some unknown means. I can’t get rid of the poison for a while, but I can still withstand it.”

"Let me see." Lei Shi reached out to check Jiang Yi's pulse, hoping to take the opportunity to remove the tracking talisman from Jiang Yi's body.

Jiang Yi dodged immediately, and You Ying stepped forward to block Jiang Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Lei Shi, what secret tricks are you planning to pull this time?"

Lei Shi frowned, unable to figure out what the people from Tongbao Tower wanted to do. Could it be that, as Jiang Yi said, they wanted to kill Jiang Yi in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, seize her Fire Fox's strange fire, and then frame Lei Ji Sect for it?

Thinking carefully about what Xia Changying has done in Dongzhou over the years, he is indeed a person who will stop at nothing to obtain the Strange Flame, which seems like something he would do.

Over the years, every time the Thunder Pool Secret Realm opened, Xia Changying would send people in to retrieve the Flame Thunder Flame.

Lei Shi clenched his fists, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. If Lingxu Sword Sect really wanted to investigate, it wouldn't be difficult to find out about the cooperation between Lei Ji Sect and Tongbao Tower over the years, and Lei Ji Sect would have a hard time defending itself.

And Jiang Yi's words just now clearly implied that he had placed a tracking talisman on her to help the Xia family track her down.

The tracking talisman was still on Jiang Yi. If they didn't break off relations today, You Ying would definitely not let him remove the tracking talisman. Lei Shi was filled with regret; his cleverness had backfired.

What is Fu Yunze doing? How could he not have noticed such a big thing happening?
In the end, it was all that bastard Xia Changying's fault that he was ruined!
If you want to kill and seize fire, why send your own people? Why not send someone else?
idiot!

Lei Shi didn't know that he had truly wronged Xia Changying; the one who was stupid wasn't Xia Changying, but Xia Yanfeng.

Xia Changying sent him to Zhenzhou to oversee the affairs of Tongbao Tower. Before the news of Jiang Yi's appearance in Leiji Sect could be reported to Xia Changying, Xia Yanfeng, in order to curry favor with Xia Changying, took it upon himself to lead a group to hunt down and kill Jiang Yi.

The matter was urgent, and Xia Yanfeng didn't have much time to think it through. He wanted to act first and ask for permission later, seize Jiang Yi's strange fire, and then go to Xia Changying to claim credit in exchange for Xia Changying's help in forming his Nascent Soul.

A bad person's elaborate schemes are no match for a fool's quick thinking; it's all about greed and wishful thinking!

Lei Shi was calm enough to know that this matter would not end well, but he would not listen to Jiang Yi's side of the story. His face was gloomy as he held the recording stone.

"Don't worry, young friend Jiang. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you, the Cangling Sect, and the Lingxu Sword Sect an explanation. Fellow Daoist Youying, please take young friend Jiang to heal and detoxify. I will send someone to deliver the best antidote and healing items from the Leiji Sect to you."
