Fang Xing merely glanced at Ye Chen, a small character he normally wouldn't pay any attention to.
But just now, Ye Chen actually tried to pin the crime on Qin Luo. Regardless of whether Qin Luo committed the act or not, he would not allow the Great Qin Empire to be tarnished.
"If the Ninth Prince wishes to investigate, he naturally can," Fang Xing said, his gaze falling on Liu Changhe as he asked, "What does the Supreme Lord of Tai Xu think?"
Though it was phrased as a question, it was really just informing him.
Before Liu Changhe could speak, Ye Chen refused.
"No way! My ring contains my secrets, and I won't allow anyone to probe them!
Besides, Qin Luo's theft is already a fact; how can he argue?
Is this Tai Xu Bell fake? Is it because Qin Luo is the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Empire that he can distort facts and act recklessly in our Tai Xu Sacred Land?
The disciples of Tai Xu Sacred Land have their pride! How can we let Qin Luo bully us?"
What a guy, full of righteousness, trying to drag Tai Xu Sacred Land into his conflict.
The disciples of Tai Xu Sacred Land indeed began to discuss.
"The Tai Xu Bell is right here; could it be fake?"
"Qin Luo is trying to use his power to oppress others."
Qin Luo sneered, pointing at the Tai Xu Bell before him, "You keep saying this is your Tai Xu Sacred Land's Tai Xu Bell, but do you even know what your Tai Xu Bell looks like?"
"My Tai Xu Bell is a hundred times better than that piece of junk from your Tai Xu Sacred Land!"
"I'll say it again," Qin Luo's gaze fell on Liu Changhe, "You say this is your Tai Xu Bell, can you call it and have it respond? Don't tell me the Supreme Lord of Tai Xu Sacred Land can't activate the Tai Xu Bell."
Every word made Liu Changhe's expression grow darker.
Everyone's eyes were on Liu Changhe, hoping he would activate the Tai Xu Bell and embarrass Qin Luo.
But Liu Changhe remained silent.
They didn't consider why Liu Changhe didn't control the Tai Xu Bell when Qin Luo used it against Tu Shouyi earlier; it was because he couldn't!
Seeing things were amiss, Ye Chen quickly explained for Liu Changhe, "That's because you, Qin Luo, severed the connection between the Supreme Lord and the Tai Xu Bell, so now he can't control it."
Qin Luo chuckled, "You idiot, do you think others are idiots too?"
"What realm am I in? I'm merely at the Divine Ability level, while your Supreme Lord is a Saint. I severed his connection? Ha, why not say I can kill him with one sword?" Find the original chapter at g.com.
"Fine, fine, let's assume you're all idiots and think I can do this. Then let me ask Elder Lin."
Qin Luo's gaze fell on Lin Ruoxuan, "Elder Lin, is the Four Symbols Sword Technique of Tai Xu Sacred Land complete or incomplete?"
Lin Ruoxuan, who had practiced the Four Symbols Sword Technique, responded without hesitation, "The Four Symbols Sword Technique of Tai Xu Sacred Land is incomplete, with only the Fire Dance of Nine Heavens move."
"And what about me? How many moves did I just perform?" Qin Luo asked.
Lin Ruoxuan was silent for a moment before saying, "You performed another move of the Four Symbols Sword Technique."
Qin Luo smiled, "And I can perform two more moves of the Four Symbols Sword Technique, even the Four Symbols Integration. Do you believe it?"
As he finished speaking, the atmosphere changed.
It seemed as if a fine rain began to fall around them, the Endless Falling Rain of the Four Symbols Sword Technique!
Lin Ruoxuan's eyes widened in shock, Qin Luo once again shattered her understanding; perhaps such a person was a prodigy in swordsmanship!
"If you only have one move while I have the entire technique, who do you think stole from whom?"
This statement left everyone in Tai Xu Sacred Land silent.
Indeed, they only had an incomplete version, while Qin Luo had the complete Four Symbols Sword Technique.
"So, all these accusations are baseless slander against me!"
At this moment, Liu Ruyan weakly said, "Brother Qin, but you just admitted it."
She was met with Qin Luo's piercing gaze, which made her panic.
"Admit it? Ha, even if I don't admit it, what can I do? The situation is stronger than the person; you all used your power to oppress me. Even if I don't admit it, wouldn't the blame still fall on me?"
Liu Ruyan wanted to argue but found herself unable to.
Qin Luo's gaze returned to Ye Chen, and he said calmly, "Ye Chen, slandering me comes with a price. Isn't it that you want the Position of Saint Son and that whore?"
Qin Luo pointed at Liu Ruyan, causing her immense heartache.
"A whore, Brother Qin actually called me a whore?" Liu Ruyan felt her heart was shattered by Qin Luo.

"Do you know, those things are like dirt to me!" Qin Luo said disdainfully.
"Wanting them is one thing, but slandering me is your mistake! Today, you must hand over that ring, or you won't leave!"
Ye Chen felt Qin Luo's aggressive pressure, once again feeling helpless and angry.
The last time was within his family, when they forced his father to step down and kicked him out of the Ye family.
He swore then that he would kill those clansmen, and he did, returning to the Ye family and annihilating those who humiliated him.
Now, the scene was repeating, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Master!" he shouted, now relying solely on his master.
His master sighed, "I told you before that you were too impulsive, and now it's come to this."
But despite the reprimand, she was also a beneficiary of this situation, as the essence of the Tai Xu Bell was nurturing her soul.
Ye Chen was her disciple, and facing such a crisis, she naturally had to stand up for him.
A sigh echoed in many people's ears, and Fang Xing's previously calm expression turned serious.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Chen's side, where a phantom figure emerged from his ring.
Seeing the phantom, many people's eyes widened.
The phrases "peerless elegance" and "beauty that could topple a kingdom" perfectly described the woman.
Even Liu Ruyan felt a sense of inferiority.
After the woman appeared, her gaze fell on Qin Luo, and she spoke softly, "To forgive when possible, how about it? Let's consider this as Ye Chen being wrong, and I'll owe you a favor."
As she spoke, she exuded a powerful aura. Fang Xing felt this strong aura and stepped to Qin Luo's side, watching the woman warily.
Though she was just a soul form, her soul was extremely powerful, having reached the Saint King Realm.
"Is she strong?" Qin Luo asked.
Fang Xing replied, "Her soul is strong, but she is only a soul."
With that, Qin Luo understood and spoke firmly, "Right is right, wrong is wrong! What do you mean by 'let's consider Ye Chen wrong'?
Did I slander him? If you say I slandered him, then show evidence, or today, it's either him or me!"
