Chapter 92 -90: Dongfang Wuya, This Villain
Nan Sheng was both shocked and scared, looking at Sect Master Zuo sitting at the head in disbelief, “Why must this disciple undergo Soul Searching?!”
At this moment, Shen Qinghe explained from the side, “Master Tian Yan thinks that Second Senior Brother accused you out of love turned to hatred and finds his testimony unreliable. Uncle Dongfang then suggested using the Soul Searching Technique, so that we can clarify the whole course of events…”
“It was you who falsely accused me for no reason, why is the Soul Searching Technique being used on me? I do not accept this!” Nan Sheng’s eyes were brimming with tears as she looked towards Sect Master Zuo and the elders, “I am innocent, it’s clearly Qinghe who is jealous of me for taking Brother Changsheng away and is splashing dirty water on me. If we have to use the Soul Searching Technique, it should be on Qinghe, why should I suffer this injustice?”
“Because I say so,” Dongfang Wuya felt this was a waste of time and looked at Sect Master Zuo impatiently, “Zuo An, go and perform Soul Search!”
Sect Master Zuo did not expect Dongfang Wuya to instruct him to do such dirty and tiring work, puzzled, he said, “Why don’t you do it?”
Why did he have to be the one to harm Nan Sheng?
This was a once-in-a-millennium genius girl, how could he bear to strike?
“Because I find it dirty,” said Dongfang Wuya, speaking his true thoughts.
Sect Master Zuo: …
“What are you standing there for? Do you need me to beg you four times over?” Dongfang Wuya urged.
Knowing there was no escape, Sect Master Zuo reluctantly stood up, took slow steps towards Nan Sheng: “Endure it a little, it will be over soon.”
He did not wish for Nan Sheng to do something as terrible as harming a fellow disciple, but with things having come to this point, they owed everyone the truth.
“Master, I am innocent,” Nan Sheng looked towards the Sword Master Tian Yan, her eyes welling with tears, pitiful to the extreme, “How can Master stand by and let them bully your disciple like this?”
The Sword Master Tian Yan naturally felt sorry for his good disciple, but Dongfang Wuya, the unreasonable brute, had too high a cultivation base, and Sect Master Zuo always listened to Dongfang Wuya; where else was there room for him to speak?
He could not bear to watch any longer and could only comfort her, “Shengsheng, do not be afraid, it will be over very soon. Endure a little, and it will pass. Soon your innocence will be restored, and Shen Qinghe will be expelled from the Sky Pole Sect!”
“No, no, I can’t!” Nan Sheng was both panicked and in disarray, continuously retreating. Suddenly, she thought of an excuse to delay, “This disciple has just had a breakthrough and am weak right now. Undergoing Soul Searching at this moment, I won’t be able to withstand it, wait until I have rested and recovered before performing the Soul Searching Technique.”
Shen Qinghe, of course, knew Nan Sheng was buying time. With Nan Sheng’s protagonist’s luck, if given a little time, perhaps even the Soul Searching Technique wouldn’t be able to touch her.
“Everyone is here today; we surely can’t make a wasted trip. The truth must be shown today!” Shen Qinghe said earnestly.
Dongfang Wuya also felt this made sense, “Zuo An, begin.”
Sect Master Zuo stopped wasting words, instantly moved in front of Nan Sheng, and started to Soul Search her.
Nan Sheng let out one miserable cry after another, saddening all who heard them.
Sect Master Zuo too felt reluctant, fearing that Nan Sheng wouldn’t be able to bear it, he wanted to quickly end the Soul Searching Technique.
However, he soon discovered the truth, and everyone witnessed with their own eyes the scene where Nan Sheng pushed Shen Qinghe into the Abyss. Yan Changsheng originally had a chance to save Shen Qinghe, but it was Nan Sheng who struck out with a sword towards Shen Qinghe’s hand.
After Shen Qinghe fell into The Abyss, Yan Changsheng also leaped after her…
Once the Soul Searching Technique concluded, apart from Nan Sheng’s pained moans, there was nothing left but a deathlike silence.
In everyone’s memory, Nan Sheng was kind and pure-hearted, gentle in manner, but where was that gentleness and kindness in the fierce gaze she had as she pushed Shen Qinghe into The Abyss?
It was hard to imagine the depth of Nan Sheng’s hatred towards Shen Qinghe.
It was Nan Sheng who had snatched Yan Changsheng away, and she was also the pride of the sect, the genius girl whom everyone spoke of fondly.

Yet such a girl could not tolerate the entirely unthreatening Shen Qinghe.
This unavoidably brought to mind another incident from the previous year. At that time, Shen Qinghe had accused Yan Changsheng of stealing the Heterodox Cultivation Manual for Nan Sheng’s sake. Because Shen Qinghe had no proof and everyone else sided with Nan Sheng, the matter was dropped.
Could it be that the incident was true, that it was indeed Nan Sheng who had taken Shen Qinghe’s secret manual? After all, Nan Sheng was capable of committing murder and robbery.
Seeing the silence at the scene, Dongfang Wuya’s lips curled in sarcasm, “Didn’t those elders previously swear by their conviction, claiming Nan Sheng wouldn’t commit such a heinous act against a fellow disciple? Now that you’ve seen the clear truth, why does no one step forward to accuse Nan Sheng of murder? Aren’t you all self-proclaimed upholders of the Righteous Path?”
The expression of the elders was one of embarrassment. They hadn’t expected the accusation to be true. Why would Nan Sheng want to kill Qinghe?
Qinghe’s cultivation base was lower than Nan Sheng’s, and her talent was not as high; she simply did not obstruct Nan Sheng in any way, making the matter illogical.
Sword Master Tian Yan, after the initial shock, finally regained his composure, defending Nan Sheng, “Shengsheng is by nature good-hearted, how could she commit such a cruel act against a fellow disciple? I saw clearly earlier on—she was controlled by some evil being. Shengsheng, am I right?”
Nan Sheng was writhing in pain. Hearing Sword Master Tian Yan’s words, she wept silently, “M-Master, I don’t remember any of this at all, I don’t know what h-happened…”
As she spoke, she crawled to Shen Qinghe’s feet, crying and saying, “Qinghe, I’m sorry, I really don’t remember anything like this. If I had known, I would have confessed to Sect Master as soon as I returned.”
As she spoke, she looked at her own hands, seeming unable to believe she had committed such a cruel act against a fellow disciple.
The other Cultivators watching the scene exchanged looks, also unsure whether to believe Nan Sheng’s words. But seeing her sincere remorse and regret, it did not seem feigned.
Shen Qinghe watched Nan Sheng’s self-directed performance, moving farther away from her and said indifferently, “All I want is justice, and I also wish for everyone to know what truly happened in the Red Moon Secret Realm. As for why Nan Sheng hated me enough to want to kill me, that, only Nan Sheng herself knows. Initially, I couldn’t understand why, with her high cultivation talent, she was still coveting my Heterodox Cultivation Manual.”
When Yan Changsheng heard this, he knelt before Sect Master Zuo and the elders, “Last year it was indeed I, with my profound cultivation base, who knocked Qinghe unconscious and took the Heterodox Cultivation Manual from her…”
He carefully narrated the events, adding in the end, “In this matter Medical Cultivator Li was an accomplice. If Sect Master calls Medical Cultivator Li for a thorough interrogation, the truth will be revealed.”
Nan Sheng could not believe that Yan Changsheng would turn against her at this juncture. How could he treat her like this?
She was the woman he loved most. By revealing this matter, he too would face punishment.
Medical Cultivator Li was hiding in the crowd, not expecting Yan Changsheng to expose him at this crucial moment. He instinctively thought to flee, but when someone spotted him, they blocked his path and pushed him into the Council Hall.
