Chapter 254: Help Me Up, I Can Still Be Saved! 15

Mo Qinglan felt like he was going crazy. While his mind screamed "grotesque monster," he couldn't tear his gaze away from his Little Martial Uncle.

His Little Martial Uncle truly treated him well. If he hadn't controlled himself earlier and had massacred everyone in front of the righteous sects, even if he had justifiable reasons, public opinion could be a terrifying force.

Mo Qinglan's emotions were complex, but Su Tang had already begun introducing him to the others.

"Allow me to introduce the chief disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Mo Qinglan of the Qionglin Mo Clan." Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity. Then, several of the bound cultivator families began to panic. Seeing their unease, Su Tang continued, "Several years ago, the Mo Clan was slaughtered. After many twists and turns, Mo Qinglan entered the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, as far as I know, the Qionglin Mo Clan had countless friends. How is it that no one in all of Qionglin helped this sole surviving son of the Mo Clan, leaving him to flee in such a sorry state, ultimately collapsing unconscious at the foot of the Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain?"

Many of the cultivators present had heard of Mo Qinglan's name, but almost none knew his true family background. The Heavenly Sword Sect accepted disciples based solely on talent, regardless of background. Even so, if someone came from a prominent family, it would be common knowledge. After all, such a disciple would be the pride of their clan. Therefore, everyone assumed he was previously an unknown nobody.

The Qionglin Mo Clan, while not top-tier, was at least a leading second-tier clan. They had heard of its destruction, but beyond a sigh of lament during idle chatter, they had paid it no further mind.

Su Tang continued, "If I remember correctly, the Li and Feng families both originated from Qionglin Prefecture. My little martial nephew has always been gentle and refined. This sudden change in his temperament… When the Mo Clan was destroyed, I presume the two of you played no small part?"

Upon hearing this, the Feng and Li families immediately denied it. "No, the destruction of the Mo Clan had nothing to do with us!"

Su Tang clicked her tongue and, without further ado, pulled out more bottles and jars from her Qiankun Bag.

Seeing this, the crowd finally remained calm.

Su Tang said, "Well, I don't want to waste any more time. This is a Truth-Telling Pill concocted by my Fourth Senior Brother. It hasn't been tested on anyone yet, so you're in luck today." Ignoring their shaking heads, she directly forced the pills into their mouths.

The pills dissolved instantly upon contact, making it impossible to spit them out.

Su Tang asked, "I'll ask again. Did you have anything to do with the destruction of the Mo Clan?"

Seeing the situation, the Feng and Li duo immediately tried to lie again. However, as soon as they uttered the word "no," they were struck with pain, sweating profusely and turning pale.

The onlookers were shocked. A Truth-Telling Pill? Such a thing was unheard of!

Su Tang pressed, "Still going to lie?"

After a few more attempts, the Feng and Li duo were writhing in agony on the ground. Their appearances were disheveled, their hair disarrayed, with no trace of their former aristocratic demeanor.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! Please, Immortal Chu Yue, have mercy!"

"Years ago, we didn't want to destroy the Mo Clan, but someone told us that the Mo Clan harbored demonic blood, a crime worthy of death. To uphold justice, we had no choice but to act!"

Su Tang remained expressionless, watching them continue to writhe in pain.

There seemed to be some truth in the Feng and Li duo's words. Gritting their teeth through the pain, they added, "Immortal Chu Yue, we're not lying this time! May lightning strike us down if we are!"

Su Tang replied, "You're not lying, but the same words, spoken in two different ways, can have two different meanings. Let me guess, the reason you destroyed the Mo Clan was for your own benefit. Although someone told you that the Mo Clan was hiding demonic blood, you believed them without even investigating."

"Let me make another bold guess. My little martial nephew's sudden change in temperament was triggered by seeing scorpions. So, back then, the Mo Clan was also besieged by scorpions. The scorpions of the Qishan Sect this time were smuggled in disguised as the Sect Leader's wife's dowry. So, in the Mo Clan's case, they were likely brought in under the guise of a friend's gift, right?"

The Feng and Li duo's eyes widened in disbelief. This person… had she been watching them back then? Her guesses were so accurate.

Su Tang asked, "Am I right?"

Ashen-faced, the Feng and Li duo admitted, "Yes."

Su Tang pressed, "Now tell me, who was the person behind this, the one who instructed you?"

The Feng and Li pair shook their heads. They genuinely didn't know. They had simply received substantial benefits and cooperated with that person. Moreover, that person always appeared cloaked in black, so they didn't even know if this person was a subordinate or something else.

"Immortal Chu Yue, we truly aren't lying. We really don't know. That person never showed their true face. We only know that every time they appeared, they were dressed in black. Oh, and their voice… Their voice was quite unique, like…"

Just as they were about to reach the crucial point, a hidden weapon suddenly flew out, instantly ending their lives.

Then, more hidden weapons attacked from all directions. Everyone was preoccupied with defending themselves. When the assault finally stopped, they discovered that the cultivators bound by the Immortal Binding Ropes were already dead.

Su Tang's face darkened with anger. They were so close, so very close!

Fuming, she was about to retrieve some artifacts to capture another batch of people when the system said, "Don't bother. They've all withdrawn. The remaining ones have been killed. The trail has gone cold."

Su Tang gritted her teeth, "Isn't that because you're useless?!"

The system protested, "You can't blame me. The world is being rewritten. No one knows what the final outcome will be."

Su Tang knew that blaming the system was pointless, but she was still furious.

"Little Martial Uncle, are you injured?"

Mo Qinglan's anxious voice reached her ears. Su Tang then realized that she was being held in the male lead's embrace. Her petite frame, held by the male lead, appeared delicate and bird-like, creating an inexplicably intimate atmosphere.

The scorching heat from his hand on her waist made Su Tang uncomfortable. She wriggled, intending to pull away, but he suddenly said in a low voice, "Don't move."

Su Tang asked, "Hmm? Little Martial Nephew, your voice sounds different. What's wrong?"

Mo Qinglan's chest felt tight. He knew he harbored different feelings for his Little Martial Uncle, but he had always thought it was unrequited. After all, his Little Martial Uncle was kind to everyone. But now, seeing her defend him like this, his heart swelled with joy, and he wanted nothing more than to hold her tightly.

Since the destruction of the Mo Clan, no one had protected him like this.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was good, but his master had told him that a man should stand tall and bear his own burdens. He understood this principle, but being cared for, protected, and cherished… who wouldn't enjoy such a feeling?

However, amidst his happiness, he also felt a flicker of anger.

Why wasn't this affection solely his? Why did so many others share his Little Martial Uncle's attention?

Why… wasn't his Little Martial Uncle his alone…?

"Ding! Blackening value decreased by 20%. Current blackening index: 75%."

Su Tang's spirits lifted upon hearing the decrease in the blackening value, and a hint of joy touched her brows. However, when she turned around, she met Mo Qinglan's deep, dark gaze, a familiarity that sent a shiver down her spine.
