Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

It has been confirmed that Wu Nianzi framed his fellow disciples.

Even so, after regaining her senses, Wu Xiangyu still looked at Xuan Yin Zhenren and asked, "But even so, Wu Nianzi's crime doesn't warrant death, does it?"

Master Xuan Yin didn't want to say much to Wu Xiangyu, but Su Baichen suddenly thought of something and stepped forward, saying, "Master, please wait a moment. Even if we want to punish Fourth Senior Brother, we should do so after a public trial."

Xuan Yin Zhenren was taken aback. He didn't think Su Baichen would do something so unprincipled just because Wu Xiangyu pleaded for him.

So he stopped and said, "You're right."

They really persuaded him to stay.

Wu Xiangyu felt somewhat hurt. Her attempts to persuade him were ineffective, but as soon as Su Baichen tried to persuade him, her master would immediately listen... The difference in treatment was too obvious, wasn't it?

But what she didn't know was that Su Baichen had already explained the reason through the spiritual communication copper finger: "Master, I want to try putting these selected extraordinary people together to see if they can know each other."

Master Xuan Yin understood immediately that this experiment was to test whether these extraordinary people could be 'tamed'.

Honestly, as a cultivation sect, they don't really care whether their disciples are different or not.

What they cared about was whether that outcast could truly be reformed. If he could be reformed, after all, they had shared so many years of master-disciple relationship...

However, when Su Baichen's idea was put into practice, all seven second-generation disciples selected from Changchun Palace gathered together...

When the seven people gathered together, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they all showed expressions of panic and fear.

Taking this opportunity, Su Baichen used the "Mysterious Yin Heart Mirror" to detect their inner thoughts and sensed their "unwillingness", "despair", "anger" and determination.

He and Xuan Yin Zhenren exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of helplessness.

However, they also used the "Mysterious Yin Heart Mirror" to detect their surroundings and, sure enough, discovered something unusual.

At this moment, one person from the Sword Sect and one person from the Array Weapon Sect also showed signs of fear and tension.

Xuan Yin Zhenren immediately pointed and said, "You, and you too, step forward."

The Five Elements Sect Master Mao exclaimed in surprise, "He has already used the Three Lives Jade Mirror, so his past life is definitely in this world."

Sect Master He Lu of the Array Weapon Sect also asked in bewilderment, "I have also examined the cause and effect of his past and present lives using the 'Past Life Connection,' and there are no problems. Why is this?"

The Mysterious Yin Master said, "I don't know about their past lives, but they have problems according to the 'Mysterious Yin Heart Mirror'."

Both Sect Master Mao and Sect Master He Lu showed surprise.

It wasn't that they were surprised that Master Xuanyin would use the "Xuanyin Heart Mirror" to detect everyone's inner thoughts, but rather that if Master Xuanyin's judgment was correct, then their method of identification would have flaws.

At this moment, Wu Xiangyu and Zhang Qiuzhu were curiously searching for their junior brother. They were both puzzled as to why they couldn't see Su Baichen.

However, at that moment, they felt a powerful thought sweep across the entire area, and then the world changed... The original mountain villa in front of them turned into an ancient battlefield, a barren wasteland.

Everyone suddenly arrived at this ancient battlefield. Although the atmosphere around them was extremely oppressive and grim, the disciples were not panicked. They thought it was some special event arranged by the elders of Changchun Palace.

But when they looked at the people surrounded in the field, they were utterly astonished to see that they had all turned into ink-like shapes spreading in the water.

With just one glance, they reached a common understanding: this is an anomaly!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Those who were quick-witted realized that the elders of Changchun Palace had been conducting a screening all along!

These outliers are those that have been identified.

But only for a moment, and the oppressive ancient battlefield vanished.

The disciple who was surrounded in the middle also returned to human form.

But at this point, no one will treat them as human beings anymore.

This is the instinctive rejection of invaders by all living beings in this world.

Master Kaiyang said gravely, "I never imagined that my Changchun Palace would have such an anomaly..."

A group of bigwigs began to sigh.

It was at this moment that Su Baichen secretly returned to the group of second-generation disciples.

Wu Xiangyu suddenly turned her head and saw Su Baichen right behind her...

"Junior brother, where did you go just now?!"

She asked incredulously.

Su Baichen smiled faintly and said, "I've been here all along."

"How could that be? I've been looking for you for ages and couldn't find you."

Su Baichen paused for a moment, then said, "If you don't believe me, ask Senior Sister Baizhu."

"Atractylodes macrocephala?"

Wu Xiangyu turned her head in confusion and saw Lin Zhaodi looking over with a smile and greeting her.

Wu Xiangyu then asked, relieved, "Are you very familiar with this Junior Sister Bai Shu?"

Su Baichen replied, "Yes, Senior Sister Baizhu and Senior Brother Feng Xingyuan are from the same class and hometown as me, so we are closer."

"Feng Xingyuan" is the Daoist name Wang Xingyuan received in the Sword Sect. Over the years, he has worked hard in the Sword Sect and has honed his sword skills to a considerable degree. However, in terms of Qi cultivation, he is still at the Lesser Heavenly Circuit level.

Seemingly having heard someone mention him, the tall, handsome young man with a sword on his back next to Lin Zhaodi turned around and gave her a friendly smile.

Wu Xiangyu snapped out of his daze before saying, "I see. But given the current tense situation, Junior Brother, you'd better not wander off."

Su Baichen responded with a "I understand".

At this moment, the second senior brother, Zhang Qiuzhuo, asked with some concern, "Why haven't I seen the eldest senior brother? I wonder how he is?"

They weren't initially bothered by not seeing Feng Linzi, but when they learned that the gathering was actually to screen out outcasts in Changchun Palace, they couldn't help but worry about Feng Linzi.

Su Baichen said, "Second Senior Brother, there's no need to worry. Eldest Senior Brother has already passed the screening and has gone ahead on another important mission."

Wu Xiangyu and Zhang Qiuzhuo both breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Sure enough, Feng Linzi was different to these junior brothers and sisters; in some ways, he might even be more popular than Xuan Yin Zhenren.

After discussion, the leaders of Changchun Palace unanimously decided to imprison all these extraordinary individuals.

Logically speaking, killing all these supernatural beings would be the only way to solve the problem.

The problem is that they still know too little about the supernatural beings, and based on their disruptive behavior, they are clearly enemies, not friends.

So, the best approach to dealing with an enemy you don't understand is naturally to study them and learn about them.

The nine extraordinary individuals were quickly imprisoned and placed under the supervision of an elder from the Five Elements Sect.

The disciples were all asked to disperse first.

Su Baichen was naturally surrounded by his senior brothers and sisters, as well as two fellow villagers.

Lin Zhaodi said with lingering fear, "What are we going to do next? Who knows if we'll encounter something like this while we're out and about?"

Wang Xingyuan responded calmly: "It doesn't matter. Once I comprehend the mysteries of Sword Heart Clarity, I will be able to discern malice."

Su Baichen reminded him, "Senior brother, the opponent's ability to conceal themselves is extremely strong. We can't be sure of the outcome based solely on malicious detection."

Wang Xingyuan chuckled: "As long as I stay away from everyone who is hostile to me, everything should be fine, right?"

Su Baichen's expression was somewhat subtle upon hearing this, but he felt that what was said didn't seem to make any sense.

Wu Xiangyu, however, said with great concern, "But our Yin Sect doesn't have the Sword Heart Clarity of my junior brother's Sword Sect. What should we do?"

Su Baichen: "..."

He was somewhat amused and exasperated, unaware that the Yin Sect was the place with the most effective methods for dealing with these strange and unusual spirits.
