Chapter 510: Chapter 255 Profound Truth Secret Realm

Upon witnessing the scene displayed by the Shadow-shooting Spirit Crystal, the crowd’s expressions varied.

When they heard Ning Qi’s words, their hearts became as clear as mirrors.

He could protect hundreds of Sword Sect disciples, but not Wei Feng and Jiang Xuan, who were both in the Primordial Spirit Realm?

It was obvious that Ning Qi was intentionally revealing a flaw.

Most likely, Ning Qi had already realized that the two were spies sent by Ye Chen and Jiang Qingxue, and he meant to expose them.

Yet nobody could find fault with it.

Was it Ning Qi who killed Wei Feng and Jiang Xuan?

No.

That was enough.

Those Great Powers were well familiar with the open and secret battles among True Disciples, as they had advanced this way themselves, with many peers having fallen by their hands in the past. The Immortal Path values competition; without struggle, how can there be progress?

Ye Chen’s face was grim, never expecting that Ning Qi would have such a move up his sleeve. He growled resentfully:

"I plead Sect Leader to see clearly. Ning Qi deliberately let our Sword Sect True Inheritors be in danger while harboring sinister intentions. Perhaps he has an unknown origin. In my opinion, we should search his Spirit Soul to rectify the fundamental truth!"

Jiang Baichuan only gave him a dismissive glance, making Ye Chen feel like he was struck by lightning, his face turning pale.

Does a disciple like him have the place to teach a dignified Sect Leader what to do?

Ye Qingtian immediately discreetly shielded Ye Chen and respectfully said:

"Ye Chen misspoke, I hope Sect Leader pardons him. However, Ye Chen’s words bear some truth. This Shadow-shooting Spirit Crystal was provided by Ning Qi, and although Great Powers cannot alter its contents, there might still be other means. I urge Sect Leader to consider carefully."

Jiang Baichuan’s eyes flickered.

Supreme Elder Ziyang immediately became angry:

"Old Ghost Ye, are you suggesting that Ning Qi found a Giant of the Integration Realm or even an Ancestor of the Unity Realm to fabricate the Shadow-shooting Spirit Crystal?"

He laughed in rage.

Throughout the entire Beixuan Domain, only the Beixuan Upper Sect possesses Integration Realm beings. Even the ancient Infinite Sword Sect does not have such Giants appear; if Ning Qi truly had such powers behind him, what would be the purpose?

Many of the Great Powers and True Disciples nodded slightly.

Ye Qingtian also paused, muttering:

"Anything is possible. A clear conscience fears no shadow; besides the Shadow-shooting Spirit Crystal, there are other ways to verify."

He chuckled, his gaze falling on the numerous disciples of the Five Elements Peak behind Ning Qi.

There were quite a few survivors from that day. Sometimes, memories are more reliable than anything.

Ning Qi’s expression changed imperceptibly, which further solidified Ye Qingtian’s confidence.

The crowd quickly caught on.

To find out the truth, just search a disciple’s soul.

Some Great Powers did not oppose and even somewhat agreed, as they were curious about the small world Ning Qi had campaigned against, wanting to know what secrets lay within.

Supreme Elder Ziyang’s face showed displeasure; he wanted to speak but ultimately refrained.

Finally, Ning Qi spoke:

"Supreme Elder Ye, I must decline the order with difficulty! Many fellow disciples of Five Elements Peak are willing to follow me. How could I let them be wasted by a soul search!"

Anger was apparent on his face.

But in Ye Qingtian’s eyes, this was a sign of a guilty conscience.

"Heh, why don’t you take their place then?"

Ning Qi stood unyieldingly:

"Then please, Supreme Elder, take action!"

Everyone’s eyes revealed unusual expressions, especially those True Disciples, who developed more admiration for Ning Qi, seeing how he stood against Great Powers for his followers, contrasting sharply with Ye Chen who treated his followers like dogs. Such a person was clearly more worthy of following.

Many disciples of the Five Elements Peak showed gratitude and respect.

The atmosphere was a bit eerie.

Sect Leader Jiang Baichuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Ning Qi, this Sect Leader possesses a Divine Technique called the Taiyin Soul Illumination Technique, capable of peering into Primordial Spirit memories. For those with Primordial Spirit Realm strength, there would be no harm, merely weakness for a few months. Would you let your followers try it?"

Ye Qingtian immediately sneered.

He naturally knew long ago that Jiang Baichuan had such a technique, and he was just deliberately steering things step by step.

Before Ning Qi could speak.

Qin Minghao had already stepped forward and replied:

"Report to Sect Leader, this disciple is willing to try, to prove Senior Brother Ning’s innocence!"

He was visibly agitated, as if he himself had suffered a great injustice.

Several other True Disciples also stood up in unison:

"This disciple is willing to try, and please let Sect Leader search our Spirit Soul, to prove Senior Brother Ning’s innocence!"

The onlookers were all amazed.

Searching one’s soul is not a trivial matter; even with Sect Leader’s technique, it’s not without harm. Not to mention, it means laying all one’s private secrets bare to the public, which no common person would be willing to do.

Yet now.

Ning Qi’s numerous True Disciples seemed eager to volunteer.

What does this represent?

Ning Qi was highly respected, possessing the demeanor of a leader.

If he were extremely harsh on his followers, this would never happen.

Several Great Powers nodded approvingly, gaining a favorable impression of Ning Qi. The internal strife in the Infinite Sword Sect was becoming increasingly fierce, and they felt lacking a leader to purify the atmosphere. Deep down, they thought, as long as Ning Qi had no issues, they would not allow him to suffer any grievances.

Ning Qi spoke with a heavy voice:

"Subject only to Sect Leader’s arrangement."

Lu Ziyue looked at him, her eyes showing slight concern.

Jiang Baichuan calmly observed the True Disciples, and finally his gaze settled on Qin Minghao:

"Let it begin with you."

Qin Minghao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged in the void.

A glimmer passed through Jiang Baichuan’s eyes as he casually pinched his hand, producing a dark, profound Taiyin glow, fluctuating as it penetrated Qin Minghao’s mind. In an instant, Qin Minghao let out a low growl, his face contorted.
