Lightning gathered, and the entire sky was rendered in an ethereal purple!
All the powerful energy condensed into a single point.
Above Cangyuan Sect, at this moment, it seemed as if the end of days was approaching.
This lightning slowly appeared above Li Shuang, seemingly locking onto her.
Li Shuang... was she truly a demonic cultivator?
Everyone stared intently at the scene, determined to see the outcome, no matter what.
The next moment.
The lightning crashed down, its descent aimed directly at Li Shuang's position!
This is impossible!
Lin Qingling's expression became disoriented.
She didn't even stop to think, rushing towards the demon-exterminating formation at first instant.
However.
As soon as she touched the formation, she was repelled.
At this moment.
The lightning had already reached Li Shuang's forehead.
"No!" Lin Qingling's voice echoed with despair.
Yan Fan also seemed to be in a daze for a moment.
Li Shuang...
Was she really going to be annihilated?
He had a surreal feeling.
Just as everyone thought the situation was settled, amidst the lightning, Ye Zhaozhao saw Li Shuang's smile.
She usually didn't smile much.
But in such a desperate situation, she actually smiled.
Ye Zhaozhao's heart trembled violently.
Suddenly, she had an ominous premonition, but she didn't know where it came from!
At this very moment!
A dazzling pure light emerged from behind Li Shuang.
The moment the lightning struck.
The monstrous demonic energy on her body was washed away in an instant!
The lightning had already reached Li Shuang's head.
But with the sudden disappearance of the demonic energy, the lightning lost its target and actually retreated back into the sky.
"The demon-exterminating lightning went back! Li Shuang is not a demonic cultivator!" Lin Qingling's eyes reddened slightly as she cried out.
This time, she didn't even know what her disciple had planned; she was genuinely frightened.
"My junior sister is not a demonic cultivator!" Luo Mingyue also shouted.
"Precisely, Junior Sister Li can't be a demonic cultivator!" Jiang Rongyi followed up.
The Sword Sect disciples also started shouting.
They knew it!
How could Li Shuang be a demonic cultivator!
Yan Fan's tightly clenched hand slowly relaxed, and a hint of relief flickered in his eyes.
Good, good.
Li Shuang had not disappointed him.
The stone in Meng Yifei's heart slowly settled. He calmly glanced at Yan Zhonghe: "Sect Master Yan, what now?"
Yan Zhonghe's expression changed. He said coldly, "Li Shuang was clearly surrounded by demonic energy before. How could it disappear instantly? Did she use some method to hide her demonic energy? Li Shuang's demonic energy was never exposed before, was it? It only coincidentally revealed itself today. Such a demonic cultivator who can hide their power should be dealt with even more swiftly!"
Meng Yifei sneered, "If we go by Sect Master Yan's words, since Li Shuang is so good at hiding, why would she choose to expose herself at this time? And on the arena with Fang Qingyu! Could it be that Fang Qingyu used some unsavory means to intentionally frame Li Shuang?"
"Nonsense!" Yan Zhonghe said coldly, "Your Sword Sect first had Ye Zhaozhao, then Li Shuang. Your internal structure has long been riddled with demonic infiltration. Our Tyrant Blade Sect is a true righteous sect; demonic cultivators could never appear in the Tyrant Blade Sect."
"That may not be so," Meng Yifei said expressionlessly, "In my opinion, Sect Master Yan's conduct is probably not much different from that of a demonic cultivator."
"Meng Yifei, you..."
The two of them actually began to argue on the spot.
Yan Zhonghe kept a cold face: "In short, Li Shuang must not be kept! If the demon-exterminating formation can't kill her, she should be locked up and thoroughly investigated!"
"What, is Southern Lan Continent now under your command, Sect Master Yan?" Meng Yifei scoffed.
"Don't worry, Sect Master Meng! This demon-exterminating lightning hasn't dissipated yet. Perhaps Li Shuang will reveal something again in a blink of an eye," Ming Yan said with narrowed eyes.
While everyone was speaking.
Li Shuang looked up at the lightning.
In her palm, the Eye of Truth subtly appeared.
Li Shuang, without hesitation, used the Eye of Truth!
The next moment.
A golden stream of light entered from her palm, then a golden eye emerged from her brow.
"Look! What is that! Li Shuang suddenly has a third eye!"
"What is this? Is this another demonic technique!"
"No, no! That's not right! This eye carries an air of grandeur; this is not a skill a demonic cultivator could wield."
"So, Li Shuang is indeed not a demonic cultivator!"
"She couldn't have been in the first place!"
"This demon-exterminating formation can be removed!"
"Once the demon-exterminating formation is set, either wait for the spiritual energy of the formation's core to be exhausted, or wait for the formation master to retract it. Retracting the formation takes at least a few hours. It can't be removed that quickly."
"However, it has already proven Li Shuang's innocence, and that's enough."
"Wait! Li Shuang's eye is glowing!"
Everyone fixed their gaze.
Meng Yifei also watched the scene, somewhat surprised.
This eye...
What was this?
Was this another secret technique Li Shuang obtained from the Myriad Law City?
No.
Something was not right.
Just looking at this eye, he felt a tremor in his soul, even a desire to kneel in reverence.
This was definitely not something Li Shuang could have cultivated herself at her current stage.
This eye...
It wasn't Li Shuang's!
Whose eye was this?!
As everyone was in shock.
The golden light shot directly towards Ye Zhaozhao.
The system was initially bewildered, but when the light reached its eyes, it couldn't help but shriek: "No, no! This is... the Eye of Truth!!!"
How many demonic species from the Land of Absolute Despair were exposed under this Eye of Truth!
This eye was the fear etched into the memory of the demonic seed.
"Quick, run!" the system shrieked.
Ye Zhaozhao also sensed something was wrong.
She turned and instinctively fled.
But.
The demon-exterminating formation had already been set up!
It couldn't be removed in a short time.
Ye Zhaozhao was trapped inside the demon-exterminating formation. Seeing the golden light about to catch up, her expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, she threw out Long Yan.
The stream of light illuminated Long Yan.
Long Yan was stunned for a moment, then let out a scream.
Pain!
Excruciating, bone-piercing pain!
His soul body gradually dissolved, and dense demonic energy rose from the sword.
As the demonic energy dissipated, Long Yan also revealed his original appearance!
"This sword spirit! It has become demonic!"
"Look, his appearance has changed."
The Sword Sect disciples were the first to recognize him.
"Heaven, isn't that Long Yan???"
"It is Long Yan! That sword has also revealed its true form! This is the Dragon Chant Sword!"
"The Dragon Chant Sword, Long Yan! So, this Fang Qingyu, is actually Ye Zhaozhao??!"
From the beginning, Li Shuang had declared that Fang Qingyu was Ye Zhaozhao.
However, a few senior brothers and sisters from Ruthless Peak had used their own methods to verify it, believing Li Shuang's claim early on and firmly believing that Fang Qingyu was Ye Zhaozhao.
Most of the other Sword Sect members remained skeptical.
Outside the Sword Sect, even fewer believed it.
But now!
Fang Qingyu's sword revealed its true identity; it was indeed the Dragon Chant Sword and Long Yan!
If the master dies!
The sword spirit would also die!
Now, Long Yan was still alive.
Therefore.
Ye Zhaozhao was also still alive.
The Fang Qingyu before them!
Was truly Ye Zhaozhao!!!!
