Chapter 400 Specious
Yun Xi ignored Elder Han's surprised expression and handed him her identity jade token. Only after Elder Han mechanically accepted the token did she speak:

“I will be representing Lingxuefeng in the Five Regions Grand Competition. Please help me register. Also, please add that Master Yuling bestows upon me the Daoist name ‘Ranxi’.”

Elder Han had recovered his composure by this time. He respectfully held the identity jade token to help Yunxi register, and also engraved Wei Yunxi's Daoist name on the token. Only then did he respectfully return the token and carefully ask:

"Can the news of Zuoqiu's defection from the sect be spread?"

Yun Xi waved his hand and said:
"Elder Han is not an outsider, so you can keep this to yourself. But since it's not a good thing, there's no need to publicize it."

However, there was no need to hide the fact that Wei Yunqing had been summoned to the Enforcement Hall for questioning, as the Enforcement Hall always acted openly and aboveboard.

After saying this, he hung the updated identity jade pendant on his waist, turned around and left the inner hall.

Elder Han stood there and pondered Ranxi Zhenjun's words for a moment. He understood the other party's implication, straightened his elder robe, and left the inner hall.

At this moment, some meddlesome disciples secretly approached Elder Han to inquire about the news. Venerable Haoyan had not been seen in the sect for a long time. How come this big shot appeared just as the two True Monarchs Wei entered the inner hall one after the other?
Moreover, three people went in and two came out, clearly one of them, Wei Zhenjun, was missing. They had seen everything and wanted to know what had happened in the inner hall. As the only one present, Elder Han became the target of their investigation.

"Elder Han, this is the task I have completed this time. I would like to trouble you to help me settle my sect points."

The Golden Core cultivator who secured the first spot smiled and handed over his identity jade token and storage bag.

Elder Han took over the task and quickly completed it, then calculated the sect points.

"Elder Han, what happened in the inner hall just now? How come even Venerable Haoyan, who has not shown her face for a long time, was alerted?"

Elder Han sighed and deliberately spoke in a voice that everyone could hear:
"I don't know the details of this matter either. I only know that the two True Monarchs of the Wei family came to me one after the other to ask me for a favor. Wei Yunqing was advancing to the Nascent Soul stage outside, so she came to change her identity jade token. True Monarch Wei Yunxi came to register for the Five Domains Grand Competition and asked me to add a note to her record of the Daoist title bestowed upon her by Venerable Yuling."

One moment the two sisters were reminiscing, the next Venerable Haoyan appeared, saying she was taking Wei Yunqing back to the Enforcement Hall for questioning, and then she abducted her and left.

"hiss!"

A collective gasp filled the air, proving that everyone in the disciples' hall who had their ears perked up had heard Elder Han's words.

Having already tasted the first juicy gossip, the Golden Core cultivator couldn't resist asking further:

"Wei Yunqing violated the clan rules?"

Elder Han shook his head and said:

"This elder is not sure about that. Besides, Venerable Haoyan only said that she would take True Monarch Wei Yunqing for questioning, but she did not say that she had violated the sect rules."

If he violated the sect rules, Wei Zhenjun would probably have been arrested before even stepping into the sect!

Elder Han is absolutely telling the truth; his main point is sincerity.

However, cultivators tend to overthink things, and the Golden Core cultivator who asked the question subconsciously replied:
"That's hard to say. If it were just a questioning, why would they need Venerable Haoyan to intervene? Venerable Haoyan hasn't been seen in the sect for years. Isn't it because they're afraid she'll use her cultivation to harm someone or escape?" Elder Han neither confirmed nor denied, simply handing the identity jade token back to the male cultivator, saying "Next," waving him away, and adding a reminder:
"This concerns a Nascent Soul True Monarch; do not discuss it."

The Golden Core cultivator hung his identity jade token back on his waist, then turned and left the disciple hall. The other disciples, who had listened to the whole thing, also left the disciple hall after finishing their own business.

However, the news that Wei Yunqing, a direct disciple of the Spirit Beast Peak, had been taken to the Law Enforcement Hall for questioning spread throughout the entire sect in a very short time.

Yunxi returned to Lingxue Peak, sipping her "Snow Lotus Wine," and listening to Diandian's gossip. In a good mood, she murmured to herself:
"Elder Han is also clever. He didn't say a single lie, yet he managed to get Wei Yunqing caught in a vortex of public opinion and labeled her as 'problematic.' Once the news of Zuoqiu's betrayal of the sect is released, Wei Yunqing will probably be isolated. Let her taste what it's like to be disliked by everyone, so she won't keep jumping around in front of me."

At this moment, Wei Yunqing, who had been taken to the Hall of Law Enforcement, was indeed in a bad situation. When she heard that Zuoqiu had actually set up an evil formation in an attempt to use the Nascent Soul Tribulation to destroy Venerable Yuling, her mouth dropped open.

No wonder Wei Yunxi risked her life to take the blame for her master. She had always been protecting herself. It turns out that the culprit was her own nominal master.

Wei Yunqing secretly resented Zuoqiu for being incompetent. If he had just killed Yu Ling, Yunxi would have lost her backer and would have been trampled under his feet!
But now things have turned out badly. Zuoqiu not only got himself involved, but also dragged her down with him. In particular, after the failure, instead of clearing his name, Zuoqiu went to kill Wei Yunxi, and ironically, he failed.

Wei Yunqing really wanted to grab Zuoqiu by the collar and ask him how a Nascent Soul cultivator like him could not kill a severely injured and unconscious half-crippled cultivator. Was he unwilling to use his spiritual power?
Hao Yan watched Wei Yunqing's expression change frequently, from surprise to anger to regret, and then lazily propped her chin up and said:

"Wei Yunqing, tell me what you know? I advise you not to hide anything. Also, bring out everything Zuoqiu gave you, the Enforcement Hall wants to inspect it."

Wei Yunqing took a deep breath and said:
“Venerable One, Yun Qing is willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to prove that she was unaware of what Venerable Zuoqiu had done. Furthermore, it was Zuoqiu who took the initiative to seek out her as a disciple, and at that time, she cultivated a Fruit of Enlightenment.”

In order to leave the Law Enforcement Hall smoothly, Wei Yunqing went to great lengths. She asked Zuo Qiu to come to her, wanting her to break through to the Nascent Soul stage with her Enlightenment Fruit. However, not wanting to give others cause for gossip, she spilled the beans about exchanging her position as a personal disciple.

After she finished speaking, she readily took out all the things that Zuoqiu had given her. She also explained what she had used and took the opportunity to swear an oath to Heaven to prove her innocence.

After listening to the other party's story, Venerable Haoyan yawned and waved his hand, sweeping all of Wei Yunqing's storage equipment into the hands of the Enforcement Hall cultivators beside him, saying:
"Will you open the storage equipment yourself, or will the main body do it for you?"

Wei Yunqing reluctantly removed the divine sense imprint from the storage equipment, allowing the cultivators of the Enforcement Hall to examine it one by one.

The cultivators from the Enforcement Hall narrowed their eyes as they scanned the items with their divine sense. They hadn't expected Wei Yunqing to have so many valuable items. They then registered them one by one, and after finding nothing unusual, they returned the storage equipment to it as is.

Venerable Haoyan then stood up and said:

"I will take you to see Zuoqiu."

Before Yun Qing could react, Hao Yan had already taken people to the dungeon of the Law Enforcement Hall.

After receiving the news that Wei Yunqing had been taken to the Hall of Law Enforcement for questioning, Ye Tianhua of Danfeng finally smiled, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He felt that his chance for revenge had come, and he raised his hand to release several communication talismans.

Soon after, the inner sect began to spread new rumors about Wei Yunqing, saying that she was taken in for questioning because she had embezzled the rare and precious materials of her fellow disciples.
