Chapter 904 Creating Memories

Zhou Lingchuan's words were blunt enough that Lei Jingxiang and the other two had no rebuttal. Yun Xi looked at Sheng Yuhong with an unchanged expression, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
“Ranxi True Venerable, I deliberately did not completely get rid of Lei Wanqian because I received your telepathic message. It was by chance that I found the soul crystal in the abandoned soul stone mine, but this also became the bait for me to deal with Lei Wanqian.”

As long as she doesn't try to seize it by force, there won't be any conflict with us. Since a conflict has occurred, life and death will depend on our own abilities. She perished because of fighting for the opportunity, which only means she was less skilled. What right does she have to come to the sect to demand an explanation?

The three members of the Lei family all frowned upon hearing this, and Lei Wanjun spoke first:

"Pah! Don't try to obscure the cause of Wan Qian's death. If she really died because of fighting for opportunities, our Lei family would accept it. But she was clearly killed by the trap you set after you received the order to kill her. These are two different things."

Yunxi glanced at Lei Wanjun indifferently; he had grasped the key point perfectly.

The Lei family is more inclined to believe that Sheng Yuhong plotted to kill Lei Wanqian because of Ranxi's orders. Otherwise, how could Lei Wanqian, with her late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, have died so mysteriously without even having time to activate her life-saving talisman?

Hao Hui, standing to the side, was also somewhat speechless. Both sides held their own versions of events, but neither could produce conclusive evidence, resulting in a stalemate. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"If that's the case, then Sheng Yuhong, you should make a heavenly oath to confirm that what you did was under the command of True Venerable Ranxi, otherwise may you be struck by lightning and your path to immortality be cut off forever."

Yun Xi withdrew the oppressive aura she had been exerting on Sheng Yuhong, waved her sleeve to let him stand up, and said calmly:

"Since you're so certain, then make a vow to Heaven!"

Sheng Yuhong paused for a moment, then nodded and raised his voice:
"Sheng Yuhong, a disciple of the Haoran Sect, hereby swears that the killing of Lei Wanqian was carried out under the orders of True Venerable Ranxi, and was not done on his own. If this is false, he is willing to be struck by five thunderbolts and have his path to immortality forever severed."

The moment the words fell, the seal of the laws of heaven and earth entered Sheng Yuhong's brow. The next instant, Sheng Yuhong disappeared from the hall. Almost the instant he disappeared, a bolt of fire lightning struck straight down, landing on Sheng Yuhong's head as he reappeared, knocking him to the ground.

For a moment, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of everyone in the hall. Hao Hui frowned and said:
"Ranxi, what's going on?"

Yunxi thought for a moment before replying:

"It's very simple. I didn't give him the order to kill Lei Wanqian, but he was absolutely certain that he had received the order, which is why he swore an oath without hesitation. But the result proves that he was deceived. As for who deceived him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Geng suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the main hall, stopping Jin Lei, and turned to Hao Hui and Ran Xi, saying:
"Please, both of you, save Yu Hong's life!"

Hao Hui glanced at Yun Xi, unsure whether he should intervene. Yun Xi sighed inwardly and finally threw out an array plate, blocking the remaining three bolts of lightning and giving Sheng Yuhong a chance to catch his breath.

After the punishment of being struck by lightning ended, Sheng Yuhong looked somewhat dazed. He looked up at Ranxi at the head of the table, unable to understand why his oath to Heaven had come true.

Yu Geng helped the heavily injured Sheng Yuhong back into the main hall. Sheng Yuhong knelt on the ground and said:
“Ranxi, True Venerable, I did receive your order to kill Lei Wanqian.”

The three members of the Lei family also noticed the abnormality at this moment, but they did not speak. Instead, they focused their attention on True Venerable Ranxi, wanting to see what she would do.

Even if Yunxi disliked Sheng Yuhong, she wouldn't embarrass Yu Geng, who had just finished his seclusion. So she gently touched her forehead, and the pink crystal flew out, transforming into human form the moment it landed.

Yan Meng, dressed in a pink fairy dress, respectfully bowed to Yun Xi and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

Yunxi looked at Sheng Yuhong kneeling on the ground and said:
"I want to know exactly when, where, and how he received the assassination order from the main body. I suspect that something has tampered with his memories."

"Yes, Yan Meng understands!"

Yan Meng nodded, raised her hand and flicked out a pink stream of light that shot into Sheng Yuhong's brow. Then, she drew a water mirror with her right hand, facing everyone in the hall. Sheng Yuhong, because the stream of light had entered his brow, had already knelt on the ground with his head down, as if he had lost consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, a scene appeared on the water mirror. After watching for a while, everyone present understood that the scene was presented from Sheng Yuhong's perspective. The first scene was Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan traveling together to the Ghost Realm and unexpectedly encountering Ranxi in the City of No Return.

Ranxi only exchanged a few words with the two of them, telling them to be careful during their training, and then parted ways with them. It wasn't until he returned to the inn that he learned the true identity of Wan Qian, the person who had accompanied them, from Zhou Lingchuan.

Sheng Yuhong was very bothered that Yunxi only reminded Zhou Lingchuan through telepathy but did not tell him. Afterwards, the two became very wary of Lei Wanqian and even made excuses to part ways with her. However, Lei Wanqian was like a leech and always managed to find their whereabouts.

After discussing it, the two decided to return to their sect first. They didn't believe that Lei Wanqian could follow them to Haoran Sect. Just then, Fengdu City returned, and the Ghost Realm closed all exit routes to prevent further accidents. The two were stranded in the Ghost Realm and finally chose to go to Fengdu City for training.

After that, the two discovered an abandoned soul stone mine in the perilous Yongye Ravine of Fengdu City, and Sheng Yuhong insisted on scavenging for the lost treasures in the abandoned mine.

They can also use soul stones for spiritual cultivation. Absorbing soul stones can strengthen the soul. Although Zhou Lingchuan didn't have much hope, he still went down into the mine following Sheng Yuhong's suggestion.

As a result, the two found a Soul Crystal deep inside the mine, under a rock about an arm's length thick. This was a valuable item; the purity of a Soul Crystal was even higher than that of a top-grade Soul Stone, making it a rare treasure.

So the two of them started digging for the soul crystal without saying a word. The soul crystal was as tall as a person. When they had dug out half of the soul crystal with their jade pickaxes, Lei Wanqian arrived. She was also envious of the soul crystal, so she tried to snatch it.

Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan were naturally unwilling to give up easily, so they joined forces to fight Lei Wanqian. Due to the difference in their cultivation levels, the two soon found themselves at a disadvantage. Sheng Yuhong transmitted his voice to Zhou Lingchuan, telling him to hold on for a while while he went to absorb soul crystals. As long as his soul power exceeded Lei Wanqian's, he could activate the Divine Soul Spike, which was his life-saving technique.

The next scene shows Sheng Yuhong flashing into the soul crystal protected by the array plate. He sits cross-legged, places his hands on the soul crystal, and begins to absorb the soul power within it.

It was at this moment that Sheng Yuhong in the scene seemed to be transported back to the time when he met Ranxi in Wugui City, and Ranxi, in the instant she turned around, transmitted her voice:

"Sheng Yuhong, find an opportunity to kill Lei Wanqian."

Sheng Yuhong was even stunned for a moment before replying:
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone frowned at the scene before them. The next moment, the water mirror that Yan Meng had opened suddenly shattered, and the pink light that had entered Sheng Yuhong's brow rushed out of his body again, heading straight for Yan Meng.

"Owner!"

My darlings, I went shopping today, so I'm writing a bit late. There's more to come.
