Qin Xuan said with an icy gaze, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
At Qin Xuan's glance, the guard immediately felt a chill down his spine and was scared out of his wits.
"It must be this person's doing. Elder Zhao Cang, it must be him. No one else had the time besides him."
The guard knew reconciliation with Qin Xuan was impossible, so he could only desperately try to drag Qin Xuan down with him.
"That's right, calculating the time, you were indeed not on Dan Peak during that period. Qin Xuan, are you still trying to deny it?"
Wu Yong fanned the flames from the side at this moment.
He knew this couldn't serve as evidence, but as long as he could help Zhao Cang take Qin Xuan away today, the matter would be set in stone.
Not only could he get rid of an annoying Disciple, but he could also properly strike at Jiang Dan and the others. Of course, he would seize this opportunity.
As for the resulting massive drop in Dan Peak's prestige, he didn't care.
As for Qin Xuan...
In his opinion, with his support, even if Jiang Dan and Ge Dan were unobservant, they couldn't continue to obstruct.
"That's right, did you hear? You weren't on Dan Peak those days, so it's clear you were the one who killed them!"
Zhao Cang immediately shouted, looking at Qin Xuan.
"Not only did you kill my nephew, but you also cruelly murdered so many rising stars of the Sect. They were all Inner Sect Disciples, the future hope of the Sect. How could you be so cruel?"
"That was a total of eight Inner Sect Disciples, the future backbone and pillars of the Sect!"
Zhao Cang took a step forward, aggressive, clearly intending to pin the blame on Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Jiang Dan's Face darkened.
Qin Xuan sneered even more.
"To have such a ridiculous excuse, it's truly laughable."
"I am a direct Disciple of Lei Yun Peak, a Named Disciple of Elder Jiang. My presence on Dan Peak was by invitation from Elder Jiang Dan. I can come and go as I please on Dan Peak. Can this be used as evidence?"
"Your Excellency, even if you are a Sect Elder, if you are so overbearing, I fear it will be difficult to convince the public!"
As he spoke, a hint of disdain appeared on Qin Xuan's Face.
"Elder Zhao Cang, you also said that there were eight others with Zhao Zheng that day, and these eight were all Inner Sect Disciples, rising stars of the Sect. May I ask, how could I, a newcomer who just entered the Sect less than a month ago, kill all eight of these Senior Brothers?"
"Elder Zhao Cang, are you looking down on Zhao Zheng and his companions too much, or are you looking up to me, Qin Xuan, too much?"
"When an Elder frames someone, they should at least find a reasonable excuse. How can this convince anyone?"
"I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the Sect Disciples!"
Hearing "chill the hearts of the Sect Disciples," Jiang Dan and Ge Dan's hearts all skipped a beat.
If Qin Xuan truly became disheartened, who would contend with Wan Yao Valley?
Rely on their own useless Disciples?
Before Qin Xuan could speak, Jiang Dan immediately stepped forward, pointing at Zhao Cang.
"You, surnamed Zhao, first you come here to arrest someone, trespassing into the Alchemy rooms, and now you're even framing and slandering. Let's go, let's go see the Sect Master right now and clarify this matter. If you, Zhao Cang, say that our Dan Peak killed someone, why don't you tell the Sect Master that I, Jiang Dan, did it."
"How about I, Jiang Dan, pay with my life for your nephew?"
Hearing this, Zhao Cang's Face instantly turned ashen.
Of course, he didn't want to make things too rigid with Jiang Dan.
As a Sect Alchemy Great Master, he couldn't possibly not give him Face.
Now, the other party was even furiously demanding to go to the Sect Master to argue with him. How could that be?
He had no evidence in his hands; many pieces of evidence would only become available after Qin Xuan was brought to the Zhao family.
With Jiang Dan's strong resistance, he was at a loss for how to respond.
Looking at Zhao Cang, who was momentarily helpless, Qin Xuan sneered in his heart.
This was the result he wanted.
Although he was indeed the one who killed them, Zhao Cang's feeling was also correct.
But Zhao Cang had no evidence!
This alone was enough.
Moreover, from the very beginning, Zhao Cang first sought out Wu Yong, and now he was explaining to Jiang Dan, which indicated one thing:
That he, Zhao Cang, didn't even have the guts to directly make an arrest!
This was Dan Peak; how could he, Zhao Cang, merely an Elder, dare to arrest someone here!
Qin Xuan's biggest concern was if Zhao Cang truly used brute force to overpower everything and forcefully acted, that would be troublesome.
But despite his aggressive Aura, he had been seeking out people from Dan Peak from beginning to end, and Qin Xuan had already seen through it.
This person simply didn't dare to turn hostile.
Ultimately, he was a member of the Azure Green Sect's Sect system and lacked the courage to challenge the Azure Green Sect's system.
Since that was the case, Qin Xuan could bring out Jiang Dan.
Jiang Dan needed Qin Xuan to contend with the people of Wan Yao Valley in Alchemy, so he couldn't sit idly by while Zhao Cang made a move against Qin Xuan.
As long as he grasped this point, Qin Xuan wouldn't worry at all.
Indeed, now Jiang Dan had stepped forward to take on everything for Qin Xuan.
And Zhao Cang, just as Qin Xuan had thought, had no intention of making a move.
"They're already Sect Elders, why are they still so indecisive? If it were me, I'd just directly make the arrest."
After observing calmly for a while, Zhao Cang had been rendered speechless by Jiang Dan and the other, unable to utter a single word.
"Since there's no evidence, why aren't you leaving?"
Looking at the speechless Zhao Cang, Jiang Dan issued an order to leave.
Zhao Cang's Face alternated between green and pale, looking very unsightly.
But he also understood that Jiang Dan was prepared to break ties. If he continued to be aggressive, the other party would truly turn hostile against him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Cang took a deep breath and gave Qin Xuan a cold look.
"Kid, don't be too pleased with yourself. I'll find the evidence sooner or later. We'll see what you do then."
"Let's go!"
Without evidence, Zhao Cang could only dejectedly lead his people away from Dan Peak.
Watching Zhao Cang's retreating figure, Qin Xuan couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
This was the power of the Sect system.
Even an Elder of the Yuqing Realm, once a member of the Sect, clearly possessed the power to act directly, but out of fear of subsequent Sect punishment, he dared not make a move.
"Elder Zhao, wait for me!"
Seeing that Zhao Cang not only didn't make a move against Qin Xuan but even turned to leave, the previous guard panicked and hurriedly rushed towards Zhao Cang.
"Scram!"
A Disciple from the Zhao family behind Zhao Cang was currently fuming with anger and didn't know how to vent it. Seeing the guard running over, he immediately kicked the guard to the ground.
"Dare to follow again, and I'll kill you, you traitorous dog, you deserve to die!"
Hearing the Zhao family member's reprimand, the guard knew the situation was dangerous and immediately, with snot and tears, went to Wu Yong's feet, hugging Wu Yong's thigh.
"Master Wu, I did as you said. This has nothing to do with me..."
Wu Yong nodded.
"Don't worry, you're fine. You merely stated some facts. Since that's the case, what do you have to worry about?"
Hearing this, the guard finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not a big deal. He also reported truthfully..."
Although Jiang Dan on the side was very displeased with this person's betrayal, seeing Wu Yong's protective demeanor, he couldn't say anything.
"Such a person should not come up the mountain in the future. Let him stay at the foot of the mountain."
Hearing Jiang Dan say this, the guard was overjoyed.
No other reason, since both Great Masters had spoken, it meant he was indeed safe.
"Thank you, two Great Masters. I'll go down the mountain now..."
Saying this, the person turned to leave.
But just as the person spoke, Qin Xuan moved instantly.
"Whoosh!"
Before the surrounding people could even blink, Qin Xuan had already rushed to the guard's side.
"You!"
The guard screamed in terror, but it was too late.
"Crack!"
The sharp sword instantly slashed out, directly killing the person where he stood!
