In an instant, everyone's gazes landed on this frail figure.
Whether it was Ji Tianran or Xiu Kao, both of their faces were filled with disbelief.
"That's … Wang Yan?!"
Zhou Ao exclaimed in shock as he quickly retracted his terrifying gaze.
Ji Tianran put down his teacup and looked at the figure that was slowly approaching. His old face revealed an expression of understanding.
"Who is this person?"
A cold voice rang out, pulling everyone back to reality.
Cang Qing's ferocious eyes were filled with shock as he watched the figure walk into the hall. However, it was quickly replaced by anxiety.
His expressionless face revealed a look of shock for the first time. He took a step forward, and a thunderous voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait."
Just as Cang Jin took a step forward, a wide palm landed firmly on his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.
Cang Jin tilted his head and looked at Zhou Ao, a look of confusion on his expressionless face.
"Let's see how Wang Yan answers what's right and wrong. Don't be anxious. After all, this is the Scorching Sun Sect."
If Zhou Ao's previous words were not enough to move Cang Jin, then his last sentence completely changed Cang Jin's thoughts.
The Sun Sect was ranked second among the Nine Sects, and its Sect Leader's strength was unfathomable. He had already reached the Perfection realm.
The Star sect was only ranked third among the Nine Sects, and it was ranked below the Sun Sect.
Today, the three elders of the Star sect wanted to show off their power in the Sun Sect, but they would most likely return in failure.
Thinking of this, Cang Jin slowly calmed down.
"Who are you?
Is what you said just now true? "
From the moment he saw Wang Yan, Xiu Ao faintly sensed that something was wrong.
It was as if a matter that was almost in the bag had come to an abrupt end because of an unexpected obstacle that had appeared out of nowhere.
"I am the real murderer of Wu Tian. If you want to punish me, just come at me."
Wang Yan walked into the Conference Hall with light steps and felt the terrifying gazes.
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed.
Shi You stared at the red wine coldly and shouted, "Which Elder of the Sun Sect are you a disciple of?
Do you know what these words mean? "
"Wu Tian was killed by me in the Misty Forest. I am the real murderer. If you want an explanation, come at me."
In an instant, the gazes of Xiu Kao and the other two turned dangerous.
This was especially so for Shi You. His eyes were practically emitting a tangible killing intent.
"Wang Yan, some things can't be said carelessly."
At this time, Ji Tianran's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone's expression changed again.
This was because Ji Tianran's intention to protect Wang Yan was very obvious. Everyone present was old and experienced, so how could they not understand the meaning behind his words?
"Wu Tian was killed by me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Cang Jin."
A clear voice came out of Wang Yan's mouth, and then he turned to look at Cang Jin.
"Senior Brother Cang Jin, was what I said just now false?"
In an instant, Cang Jin's paralyzed face became extremely ugly. His eyes, which were the size of copper bells, emitted a strong sense of doubt.
Any normal person could see that the three elders of the Star Sect were determined to resolve this matter.
If the Sun Sect couldn't give a reasonable explanation and make a satisfactory compensation, this matter wouldn't be left at that.
However, Wang Yan suddenly appeared at this critical juncture and took the blame.
However, an extremely strange scene appeared. Even though Wang Yan admitted that he killed Wu Tian, no one except Cang Jin believed him.
After all, Wang Yan's current cultivation was only at the tenth level of the Star Guide realm. According to common sense, it was impossible for him to kill Wu Tian with a single punch.
"Is what you said true?"
At this time, Ji Tianran's gaze fell on Wang Yan. His expression became abnormally solemn, as if he was talking about a serious matter.
He was like a completely different person compared to his previous calm demeanor.
"Yes, the person who killed Wu Tian wasn't me. It was Wang Yan."
Suddenly, a muffled sound rang out, causing everyone to raise their heads.
They saw that Cang Jin had taken a step forward and was staring at Wang Yan without blinking. "That day, Wu Tian ambushed me first. After that, I injured him and escaped."
"I don't know why, but Wang Yan directly killed Wu Tian with a single punch."
The muffled sound was emotionless, as if it was stating a fact.
"And at that time, Wang Yan was only at the fifth level of the Star Guide realm."
Cang Jin's thunderous voice clearly fell into everyone's ears, causing the originally heavy atmosphere to instantly heat up.
Wang Yan looked at the expressionless Cang Jin. The corners of his mouth curled up, forming a bitter smile.
He knew that Cang Jin said this because he wanted the elders of the Sun Sect to understand his importance.
After all, as a fifth level of the Star Guide realm, he killed a ninth level of the Star Guide realm with a single punch. This kind of abnormal combat ability was enough to move everyone!
"Very good, very good. I didn't think that the Sun Sect would have such a genius."
Xiu Ming's voice suddenly rang out in the conference hall, which was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
For a moment, Ji Tianran and the rest all revealed gratified expressions.
If not for Cang Jin's words just now, no one would know how terrifying Wang Yan was.
The current Wang Yan, in the eyes of Ji Tianran and the rest, was like a piece of unpolished jade.
If he was properly polished, one day, the Sun Sect would definitely rise as a rising star.
Combined with Wang Yan's performance in the outer sect competition, for a moment, Ji Tianran and the rest all believed what Cang Jin said.
"If what you said is true, then apologize to Elder Shi now, and this matter will be over."
"But you killed Elder Shi's only personal disciple. Now, you are punished to go to the Tranquil Cliff and reflect on your mistakes for a month."
Taking a sip of tea, Ji Tianran turned to look at Cold-Blooded Tie.
"Second Elder, are you satisfied with my punishment for Wang Yan?"
"If you are not satisfied, just say it. After all, you are the person in charge of punishment in our sect."
Cold-Blooded Tie smiled sinisterly, "This punishment is a little too light. Wang Yan must reflect on his mistakes for three months at the Tranquil Cliff."
"Alright, as Second Elder said."
Ji Tianran waved his sleeve, and two vines made of star power appeared out of thin air, binding both of Wang Yan's hands.
"Where are the law enforcement disciples? Bring Wang Yan to the Tranquil Cliff to reflect on his mistakes for three months."
Instantly, two law enforcement disciples walked in from outside the conference hall, dragging Wang Yan out of the hall.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a shout exploded like thunder from the nine heavens.
In an instant, the entire Assembly Hall was shaken to the point of rustling.
Shi You looked at Ji Tianran with a gloomy face, his eyes flashing with resentment.
"Elder Ji, this punishment is a little too light, isn't it?"
Eyes flashing, Ji Tianran looked at Shi You expressionlessly, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Simple. If he doesn't die after taking a hit from me, I will let this matter go."
The sudden voice made Ji Tianran's face darken. He turned to look at Xiu Kai, who was full of smiles, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand.
"Brother Xiu, what does this have to do with you?"
Tomorrow at midnight
