After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

Qi Bei immediately spoke up, confirming, "That's Ning Yue!"

A uproar ensued.

There were puzzled and confused looks.

Everyone stared at Ning Yue in the very center, waiting for her to say something.

Ning Yue had no intention of keeping it a secret forever.

She deliberately withdrew the spell, which meant she didn't intend to hide anything, she said very calmly.

"That's right, I am Ning Yue, a direct disciple of the Fusang Sect."

His voice was extremely calm, yet it exploded in the crowd!

"She really is Ning Yue?! I always thought those rumors were just gossip!"

"Holy crap... I thought another prodigy like Ning Yue had appeared, but it turns out they're the same person!"

"However, it's more likely that they are the same person."

"So incredibly capable... Aside from Ning Yue back then and Ning Ning now, I haven't seen anyone else like that."

A chorus of sighs arose from the surrounding crowd. Some of them had never met Ning Yue, but they had heard quite a bit about him before.

"Back then, Ning Yue was 12th in the class and directly took the top spot in both alchemy and beast taming."

"Ning Yue is seventeen this year, and he's already achieved a Grand Slam!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several lines of text suddenly appeared on a huge stone tablet in the very center of the training ground.

The Heavenly Ranking Individual Trial Competition —

Ning Yue, the top sword cultivator!

Ning Yue, the top alchemist!

Ning Yue tops the list of talisman masters!

Ning Yue is at the top of the formation rankings!

Ning Yue tops the audio editing charts!

Ning Yue, the top weapon repairer!

Ning Yue, the top beast tamer!

Rows of bright, dazzling characters emerged, clearly imprinted on the stone tablet.

Although everyone already knew the outcome, it was far more shocking than seeing Ning Yue's name engraved on all of them!

Yu Chuan was completely bewildered. He stared blankly at his reflection in the stone tablet.

What Ning Yue? What Ning Ning? They're the same person?!

Most importantly! He actually competed against Ning Yue on the same stage?

Moreover, Ning Yue even praised him for being amazing!

"Ning Yue!" Qi Bei questioned coldly, "You've been missing for so many years, what's your purpose in coming back now?!"

The surrounding discussion immediately ceased.

Ning Yue has been missing for five years. During this time, there have been various rumors, the most widespread of which is that Ning Yue died and perished in order to save the lower realm.

Now, it's actually standing right in front of them, alive and well.

It certainly looks suspicious.

Ning Yue stared directly at Qi Bei and said coldly, "I think Sect Leader Qi knows the reason better than I do."

Qi Bei looked at Ning Yue without changing his expression: "I don't know what you're talking about?"

He looked Ning Yue up and down and sneered, "There's no need to suppress your cultivation level at the Golden Core stage anymore. It's unnecessary."

Ning Yue looked at him without saying a word.

Fang Xun suddenly stepped forward, looking at the two with some doubt, and said, "Sect Leader Qi, why are you so serious? Isn't Ning Yue's return a good thing?"

Li Xuan continued, "The emergence of such a powerful cultivator in the new generation of the cultivation world is an honor for the entire Upper Realm."

Liu Fengyi remained expressionless and echoed the two, "That's right."

Qi Bei remained expressionless and said, "I wonder if you all remember that Ning Yue wiped out the entire demon race in the lower realm..."

That's indeed how it's said in the lower realms. The group exchanged glances and then turned to look at Qi Beidao.

"I heard that's how it is."

"I'm sure everyone has sent people to the lower realm to investigate the situation, and you all know that Ning Yue did indeed save the entire lower realm."

"But everyone should not forget that Ning Yue was only a Nascent Soul cultivator at that time. When he went to the lower realm, he used some kind of magic and was able to maintain his Golden Core stage."

When Si Su emerged from Qi Xucheng's body, Qi Bei, fearing the exposure of the Purgatory Sect's secrets, severed the connection to the mirror stone.

Therefore, they did not know that Ning Yue had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage in the secret realm.

Qi Bei confidently stated, "No matter how talented a Golden Core cultivator is, do you all think it's possible for her to directly wipe out the entire demon race in the lower realm?"

Everyone has witnessed just how terrifying the demon race's strength is.

Qi Bei's words made him suspicious.

At that time, there were at least several thousand to tens of thousands of demons in the lower realm, and it is indeed hard to believe that they were all wiped out by a Golden Core cultivator.

that……

"It wasn't Ning Yue who wiped out the demons at all; it was Ning Yue who colluded with the demons! They fabricated the illusion of saving the lower realm to deceive us!"

Everyone was immediately terrified by this thunderous revelation.

A coalition with the demons?!

A horrified and somewhat fearful gaze kept turning toward Ning Yue.

Fang Xun's voice turned cold, and he stepped in front of him.

"Sect Leader Qi, one must have evidence to support their claims. Anyone can make baseless accusations."

He had long regretted not having had time to help the Fusang sect.

However, they were preoccupied with their own problems at the time, and thought that since Fusang Sect was one of the five major sects, there shouldn't be any problems.

Who would have thought that during the entire period of the Demon Clan's invasion, only the Fusang Sect was destroyed.

None of the five sect leaders were fools; they could all guess something to some extent.

However, in order to maintain stability, no one has brought the matter to the forefront.

Now Qi Bei is actually slandering Ning Yue in public!

It wasn't easy for a promising young member of the Fusang Sect to finally return! We can't let Qi Bei harm her so easily.

Qi Bei smiled and looked around at everyone, saying, "There is evidence. Of course, I'm not making baseless accusations."

Fang Xun and the others' expressions immediately turned cold.

Qi Bei pointed at the merman in Ning Yue's arms: "The evidence is that merman!"

"I found this near the Fusang Sect. Anyone who has seen the Mirror Stone from the Tongtian Ranking Team Competition back then knows that this merman was brought out of the secret realm by Ning Yue..."

Several people who had seen it before turned their gazes toward the merman, and after looking at it for a while, they finally felt a sense of familiarity.

"Looking at it now, it does seem to be true."

"How long ago was that? You still remember?"

Some voices of agreement rose from below.

Qi Bei continued, "After capturing this merman, I wondered why Ning Yue had brought things from the secret realm out, so I used a magical artifact from the sect and discovered demonic energy on the merman!"

"The demonic energy is still extremely concentrated!"

As Qi Bei spoke, he gritted his teeth and suddenly sprinkled a handful of powder-like substance in the direction of the merman.

Ning Yue, holding the merman, did not dodge, but coldly watched Qi Bei's actions.

The dust settled on the merman, and the fine white powder gradually dissipated on his skin.

Suddenly, thick black mist surged from the merman's body.

—Demonic energy!

It really was demonic energy!

"I had long suspected that Ningning was Ning Yue from back then, so I deliberately set this trap here. I didn't expect Ning Yue to actually fall for it."

Qi Bei's voice sounded cheerful: "This is evidence of Ning Yue's collusion with the demon race!"

The way everyone looked at Ning Yue now contained pure fear.

Ning Yue remained expressionless, completely unconcerned about the stares and whispers of those around him.

Her eyes could see demonic energy; she had sensed it from the moment she saw the little mermaid.

Qi Bei deliberately placed the merman in the beast taming trial and then injured him so severely.

It would be more surprising if they did nothing.

She had even spent some brain cells trying to figure out Qi Bei's purpose in pushing the Beast Taming to the last day.

I didn't expect it to end like this?

And you're actually feeling smug about it?

At this moment, Qi Bei was no different from a clown jumping around in her eyes.

Ning Yue put the merman down. After holding her for so long, the merman was unwilling to let go, wrapping her arms around Ning Yue's waist and resting her head against her waist.

"They've only been tainted by demonic energy. For the past five years, the merman has been living with Sect Leader Qi. Doesn't that make Sect Leader Qi even more suspicious?"

"If this is used to accuse me of colluding with the demons, wouldn't Sect Leader Qi be in an even more serious situation?"

Qi Bei narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Ning Yue: "What did you say?"

Ning Yue casually scanned the entire training ground, his gaze lingering particularly long on the disciples of the Purgatory Sect.

Seeing Ning Yue's expression and demeanor, Qi Bei's heart skipped a beat.
