The events unfolded too quickly, leaving many unable to react.
Shangguan Chuxue was one of them.
She abruptly stood up, staring in disbelief at the scene before her.
The forces of Wang City had all collapsed to the ground.
The previous generation's Celestial Master, Zhang Tianquan, was being held by the throat like a helpless chick.
Huh?
Is this even possible?
The entire room fell silent.
Xiong Ha, who had possessed Zhang Tianquan, was on the verge of tears.
He frantically looked around, only to see everyone lying on the ground, spitting blood.
The banquet hall was frozen by Frost Qi, and the chilling cold emanating from it made him feel as though his spirit was about to dissipate again.
The Ten Thousand Demon Banner, hidden within him, remained unresponsive no matter how much he called out.
Xiong Ha was completely dumbfounded.
Wait a minute.
You never said you could take on so many people alone!
Xiong Ha was a minor evil spirit.
In his experience, when it came to fights, the side with more numbers always won.
But...
The scene before him made him realize.
Old-timers!
Your methods are way outdated!!
No... no...
I'm really going to die! I need to get out of here!!
Just as Xiong Ha was about to make a quick escape,
Suddenly!
A surge of demonic energy violently seized his true form.
What?!
His pupils shook—it was the demonic energy from the Ten Thousand Demon Banner!!
Then,
A strange voice echoed in his mind.
[Little thing, if you want to live, do this...]
Xiong Ha: !!!
What?!
The sudden voice startled him.
But!
At this point, he had no other choice.
I'm an evil spirit anyway!! I'm going all in!!
Shangguan Chuxue, suppressing the chaos in her heart, steadied herself.
Her eyes focused intently on Su Muwan.
Su Muwan, I underestimated you.
But!
Do you really think this is all I have?
This cruise ship is equipped with an anti-evil formation.
Plus, with Suan Tianxing, the youngest Celestial Master, here...
You... can't possibly escape!
Meanwhile,
The other disciples regained their senses.
Especially Suan Tianxing.
His pupils dilated as he roared, "Su Muwan!!"
"You evil spirit!"
"Release my master at once!!"
Slap!!
"Ugh—!"
Before he could finish,
A black claw suddenly appeared and struck Suan Tianxing across the face.
The intense pain left his mind blank.
"Shut up!"
"Evil spirit this, evil spirit that! How long are you going to keep deceiving everyone?!"
As the angry voice rang out,
Everyone's gaze turned to Qin Luo.
He stepped forward, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looked at Suan Tianxing and Zhang Tianquan.
Qin Luo took a deep breath and spoke with grief, "It's a pity that my lady, who has done so much good, is being slandered by you as an evil spirit."
[Whispering Wind Technique! Activate!]
"My lady has eradicated countless corrupt elements from the foundation to help struggling children!"
Su Bailian: .....
"My lady has eliminated numerous external forces for the peace of Jiang City!"
Members of the Dragon King Palace: ......
"My lady has destroyed countless criminal organizations for the better development of the city!!"
Those who watched the live broadcast of Jiang City's unification: .....
Su Muwan blinked.
Wait, so all these things... were good deeds?
Qin Luo walked over to Su Muwan and stood protectively by her side. "My lady's deeds are worthy of being enshrined in the temple of ancestors."
"But your Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain..."
He took a deep breath, his expression grave, and pointed accusingly, "For his own selfish desires, he has fallen and become an evil spirit!!"
"Do you think this cruise ship was prepared to ambush my lady?"
"Wrong!! In reality!!"
"This was a scheme between him and Wind Ghost, the traitor of Dragon Tiger Mountain!!"
"He plans to... sacrifice the living!!!"
Boom!!!
As soon as he finished speaking,
A fierce gale suddenly howled outside.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, the expressions of those not possessed turned to shock.
The disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain also looked horrified at Suan Tianxing, who was clutching his face with a stiff expression. "Celestial Master... you... are an evil spirit?"
Zhang Hu and others dropped the act.
They stepped forward, distancing themselves from Suan Tianxing, and shouted, "Brothers and sisters!"
"Brother Qin is right!"
"The true evil spirit isn't Su Muwan!"
"It's... Suan Tianxing!!"
"He's already become an evil spirit!"
"The evidence... is this!"
As Zhang Hu spoke,
He pointed to the large screen at the wedding venue.
Click!
A video began to play.
The obscene images that appeared made the unpossessed disciples gasp in shock.
What?!
Suan Tianxing was also stunned.
He looked incredulously at Zhang Hu, then at the video.
This!! Just because of this, you think I'm an evil spirit!?
"Bullshit!"
"Don't be fooled by him!!"
"Su Muwan is the evil spirit!"
Suan Tianxing clutched his face and roared, "I've already set up the anti-evil formation!"
"Once activated!! Su Muwan won't be able to escape!!"
However, in the next second,
Everyone saw a surge of black energy erupt from Zhang Tianquan's body.
Then,
A banner flew out.
At the same time, a black figure holding the banner soared to the center of the hall.
His crimson eyes fixed on Suan Tianxing as he shouted anxiously, "Suan Tianxing!! Something's wrong!"
"Hurry and activate the sacrificial formation!!!"
"We agreed!! These Taoists' souls belong to me!!"
Everyone: !!!
Suan Tianxing: !!
Shangguan Chuxue: !!
Su Muwan: ?!!
Whoosh!!!
All eyes turned to Suan Tianxing, whose expression froze.
They backed away in disbelief, shouting in horror, "Suan Tianxing!! You actually colluded with an evil spirit!! No!! You really are an evil spirit!!"
Suan Tianxing was completely dumbfounded.
He desperately tried to explain to the crowd, "Hey! You have to believe me!"
"How could I be an evil spirit?! I'm a Celestial Master!!"
He quickly turned to the evil spirit above and cursed, "Evil spirit!! You're framing me!!"
Xiong Ha, hearing this, responded incredulously, "Suan Tianxing, what are you still pretending for at this point?"
"Hurry up and help me activate the sacrificial formation so we can devour these people alive!!!"
These words only deepened the crowd's terror.
Suan Tianxing's face twitched. He realized!!
This evil spirit... was deliberately framing him!!
And this banner!!
Wasn't this the one Su Muwan threw into the sea?!
Wait!!
"It's... it's Su Muwan!!"
Suan Tianxing suddenly thought of something and pointed at Su Muwan, roaring, "Su Muwan!!"
"It's you!! This is all your scheme, isn't it?!"
"You deliberately threw this banner into the sea!"
"And you released this evil spirit to frame me!!"
"You... you...!!"
"Vicious woman!!!"
Huh?
Su Muwan was stunned for a moment, then trembled with anger.
Hey! You can't just make up lies like that!
I had no idea about any of this!
In the next second,
Slap!!!
"Ugh—!"
"Ridiculous!"
Qin Luo stepped forward and slapped Suan Tianxing across the face.
Then,
He grabbed Suan Tianxing by the hair, forcing him to look at the video on the screen.
Qin Luo sneered, "Dare you swear to the heavens that the person in this video isn't you?"
Suan Tianxing glanced at the screen.
His expression immediately froze.

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.
