Invincible Soul Emperor

Ye Qingchen saw Elder Gui’s face filled with anger and immediately walked to his side, looking at him with a determined gaze.

"Elder Gui, please don’t be angry, today the villain will definitely not escape!"

At this tense moment, the Ancient Honored One slowly stepped forward.

His steps were steady, each seeming to carry the weight of a thousand pounds.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle, directed straight at Xue Wei.

The Ancient Honored One stopped in front of Xue Wei, slightly leaning forward, his eyes showing an undeniable authority.

The Ancient Honored One asked in a deep voice, "Xue Wei, do you really refuse to admit these facts?"

His words carried a powerful pressure, each word hammering heavily at Xue Wei’s heart.

Facing the Ancient Honored One in the Secret Realm, although Xue Wei was somewhat nervous inside, he still believed firmly that the other party did not have enough evidence to prove his wrongdoing.

Thus, he said boldly, "Ancient Honored One, I really have not done those things. You must be mistaken."

Xue Wei straightened his back, confidently continued, "I have never raised a hand against the Guardian in the Secret Realm. These allegations are baseless. I merely followed the Family Head’s instructions to visit the Secret Realm briefly and quickly return; there was simply no time to do those things. You cannot suspect me with some unfounded evidence!"

His voice was full of confidence and decisiveness, seeming fully convinced that he could escape these accusations.

Xue Wei’s gaze was unwavering, seemingly declaring his innocence to everyone.

As he spoke, he observed the Ancient Honored One’s reactions, hoping the other party could not produce stronger evidence.

Upon Xue Wei’s words, his supporters in the audience immediately began to cheer, their voices rising one after another.

"Xue Wei is right! How can he be slandered for something he didn’t do?"

A middle-aged man shouted loudly, his voice full of determination and anger.

"Indeed, how can he be accused based on some unfounded evidence?"

Another woman in luxurious attire stood up to support, her voice echoed across the square, resonating with many.

"Xue Wei is the hope of our Xue Family! He is loyal to the family, and it’s impossible for him to do such a thing!" An elder waved his cane and spoke excitedly.

More voices chimed in:

"Exactly, Xue Wei simply didn’t have the time to do those things!"

"Yes, Xue Wei has always contributed to the family, how could he harm the Elders in the Secret Realm?"

"We believe in Xue Wei, he couldn’t have done such a thing!"

Support for Xue Wei grew, almost overpowering the noise at the scene.

People’s emotions were stirred, some even began to applaud, cheering for Xue Wei’s resolute defense.

In the stands, Xue Wei’s supporters united, forming a strong momentum.

The Family Head and other elders were also influenced by these voices, beginning to re-evaluate the situation before them.

For a moment, the square became tense and complex; the crowd supporting Xue Wei and those doubting him formed a stark contrast, the whole scene becoming even more chaotic.

Xue Wei looked at the situation before him, inwardly pleased, thinking he had reversed the circumstances, his confidence increased.

His face showed a faint smile, as if victory was in sight.

However, several elders and Ye Qingchen on the stage still looked solemn, obviously not intending to let him off easily.

The Family Head’s expression was grave, his brows furrowed, clearly also feeling perplexed by this sudden turn of events.

He cleared his throat, attempting to calm himself, then addressed the Ancient Honored Elder, saying, "Ancient Honorable Elder, I understand your anger and urgency, but our Xue Family always adheres to principles of fairness and justice. The accusations you put forward are of great significance and relate to the reputation and future of our Xue Family, hence, we must talk about evidence. Without conclusive evidence, we cannot easily draw any conclusions about Xue Wei."

He paused, then continued, "I hope you understand that we have to be responsible to all members of the Xue Family. If Xue Wei indeed has issues, we will definitely not shield him, but before that, we need more evidence to support your allegations. Otherwise, this is not only unfair to Xue Wei, but to the entire family."

The Family Head’s voice was peaceful, but each word contained a dignity and an undeniable firmness.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the Ancient Honored One, waiting for his response.

The audience also quieted down, watching the scene with bated breath, all seemingly awaiting the revelation of the truth.

The Family Head’s demeanor maintained the Xue Family’s principle of justice while displaying his authority as Family Head, injecting a sense of rationality and calm into the entire situation.

However, everyone understood that if this accusation against Xue Wei could not be accompanied by solid evidence, it might trigger more controversy and dissatisfaction.

The Ancient Honored One showed a confident smile, then with a grand gesture, a strong Spiritual Power emanated from him.

In a moment, a huge Spiritual Power screen began to slowly form overhead among the crowd.

The screen was immense, covering the whole square sky, radiating light, as if a giant mirror reflecting every corner of the square.

The screen appeared translucent pale blue, its surface smooth as a mirror, but carrying a mysterious depth.

Around the screen, faint waves of Spiritual Power emanated, making everyone present feel the powerful aura.

Even spectators at the farthest edge of the square could clearly see the content on the screen, as if the screen was created solely for this grand event.

The Ancient Honored One looked at the crowd, speaking in a loud and steady voice: "People of the Xue Family, the truth is right here!"

As his voice sounded, images began to appear on the Spiritual Power screen.

The images were clear and vivid, seeming to recreate real scenes right before everyone’s eyes.

The audience held their breath, staring at the screen intently, the scene fell into a dead silence, only the sound from the screen echoed.

The scene first showed the Xue Family Secret Realm, deep caves, ancient stone walls, mysterious runes, outlining a series of mysterious and magnificent images. Then, the view shifted, revealing two people, one Xue Wei, the other Ah San.

Both stood beside Elder Gui, speaking something, their voices clearly echoing above the square.

Just as Elder Gui had described.

Then suddenly, Xue Wei’s expression turned grim, a trace of viciousness in his eyes.

He abruptly closed in on Elder Gui.

Then, an intense battle erupted.

Xue Wei’s techniques were swift and vicious, exactly as the Family Head had previously mentioned, a unique technique of the Xue Family.

Elder Gui was severely injured in the battle, deep scars left on his body, while Xue Wei’s face remained cold and unfeeling.

The final image froze on Xue Wei’s departing silhouette, blood still staining his sleeve.

The whole process was clearly visible, the evidence was irrefutable.
