In the Cold Prison, Yu Mu curled up and lay on the ice.
Outside the Cold Prison, the girl in green stood in front of it for quite awhile, her name is Liu He and she was the one who testified against her own Senior Brother. Liu He stared blankly at the figure in the Cold Prison who was being attacked by the wind and snow. She hasn't even entered the Cold Prison but the chill that was emanating from it made her face cold and her weak appearance shivered.
"Why?"
There was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Earlier, she threw herself into Yu Mu's arms, but it was the first time that Yu Mu pushed her away. She had been in Yunhe Sect for ten years, and no matter what mistakes she made, the eldest brother would never say harsh words to her.
But this time, she felt Yu Mu's disgust and disdain, even if he didn't express it.
Could it be that it was because of her testimony about Yu Mu stealing the Earth Vein and killed thirteen fellow disciples?
But she clearly saw the back of the person who killed someone and left, and it was very similar to that of the eldest senior brother.
Those thirteen fellow disciples were all in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Apart from the eldest brother who is a master in the Core Formation stage, there's no one else that could kill them in such a short time.
Liu He gritted her teeth. There was no doubt about it, it was the eldest brother who coveted the energy of the earth veins! Even if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, but the back figure looked so similar so it must be him, my evidence was correct!
What's more, if I don't provide evidence, I will also be punished, and the eldest senior brother will definitely not bear to see me being punished since my cultivation level is still so low.
Thinking about it, Liu He felt much more at ease.
Liu He was still thinking about whether to bring a bowl of hot soup to the eldest brother. After all, the eldest brother would never refuse something she gave, even if it was something he didn't want. He will definitely be very happy, after all, I care about him.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Liu He's ears.
"He'er, come to the main hall."
It was the voice of her Master Fairy Zi Li! Liu He left immediately. Fairy Zi Li was the youngest Grand Elder of Yunhe Sect and was always strict.
Liu He's talent was not good, and it was by sheer luck that she could enter the Yunhe sect. If Yu Mu hadn't been helping her practice and speaking well of her for many years, she wouldn't have been able to stay.
Now that Fairy Zi Li had sent a message, she certainly didn't dare to neglect it.
As they watched her leave, the two disciples guarding the Cold Prison looked disdainful.
Who in the entire Yunhe Sect doesn't know that Liu He is a vase? She doesn't have any capability to deal with anything and over the years, kept relying on Yu Mu. It's to the point that she has been unruly and have offended many people.
But Yu Mu protected her, and she was also a disciple of Fairy Zi Li. Plus, she is pretty and there were many bootlickers in the sect. Everyone couldn't stand it, but it was hard to say anything.
"Hey, did Senior Brother Yu really steal the Earth Vein?" a disciple whispered. Although the news about this matter has been blocked, there are always clues.
"What a joke!" another disciple said with disdain.
"What kind of person is Senior Brother Yu? He is at the peak of Core Formation stage and will soon break through to the Gold Core stage! The energy from the Earth Vein is a good thing, but it has little effect on him."
"Besides, even if Senior Brother Yu wanted it, he wouldn't steal it. He could just ask Elder Fairy Zi Li about it. I've been telling you for so long, and everyone in the sect knows who Senior Brother Yu is. How can you still ask such a question?"
"But Junior Sister Liu He personally testified that she saw it was Senior Brother Yu who did it."
"She's an ungrateful bastard! Her cultivation is so low, how could Senior Brother Yu really let her see her if he really wanted to? I think the Sect Master is also confused."
"Be careful with your words! If anyone hears you, we'll be in trouble."
…
[Inside the Law Enforcement Hall]
Because of Yu Mu's matter, the two supreme masters, five hall masters, and the sect master of Yunhe Sect all gathered together.
Yu Mu is a genius that appears only once in a thousand years in the entire continent, let alone this barren land in the northwest. The Yunhe Sect attaches great importance to him.
At this time, Fairy Zi Li looked at her disciple Liu He. She knew that this girl was a thoughtful person, but she didn't believe that she would slander him, and she didn't have the courage to do so in the first place.
So when Yu Mu was interrogated before, she did not show up to avoid suspicion.
"Liu He, tell me what happened in detail.", The one who spoke was Yunhe Elder Yun Buqi.
He once wanted to accept Yu Mu as his disciple, but Yu Mu was an orphan adopted by Fairy Zi Li when she went down the mountain to train, and he couldn't snatch him away.
But he didn't believe Yu Mu could do such a thing! For this reason, he even questioned Fairy Zi Li's indifference.
But Fairy Zi Li just asked, "Is Mu'er your disciple or my disciple?" and directly retorted to him.
Faced with such a big scene, Liu He trembled slightly, but still told everything she saw at that time.
"Useless!", Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Yun Buqi became furious.
"How dare you prove it based on just a back view?! Not to mention that Yu Mu is your senior brother, how has he treated you in the past ten years?! You forgot that Yu Mu is the established young master of Yunhe Sect! How dare you slander him?!"
The sect leader and the other five hall masters also had gloomy expressions.
Before, Liu He said with certainty that she had seen Yu Mu kill someone, but he didn't expect that it was just a similar back view.
If Yu Mu is disheartened because of this incident, he wouldn't want to participate in the upcoming competition and without Yu Mu, their Yunhe Sect might not be able to get the due resources.
But Fairy Zi Li was frowning.
"Elder Yun, why do you have to be so harsh? Mu'er has always been kind to He'er. He'er is pure and kind, how could she slander him.
"Fairy Zi Li is such a good master." Hearing this, Yun Buqi sneered, "It's fine if you don't make the decision for your disciple, but are you really going to let him suffer in the Cold Prison based on one-sided words?"
"Although the Cold Prison is a punishment, it is also good for my disciples to strengthen their bodies. If he feels resentful because of this kind of training, then he is not worthy of being my disciple."
Fairy Zi Li still looked like she is out of touch with the world, and Yun Buqi's face was distorted with anger. He glanced at Liu He and said, "Sect Master, we should search her soul."
Liu He's face turned pale when she heard that, her pale lips trembled and she couldn't make a sound.
Soul search! Although a soul search by a peak Nascent Soul expert would not cause her too much damage, it was said that soul search was extremely painful, no less than torture.
"You dare." Fairy Zi Li stood up and looked directly at Yun Buqi with her beautiful eyes.
"It's fine if you and I fight, but you dare to attack my disciple?"
"What? She is your disciple, but Yu Mu isn't your disciple too?" Yun Buqi did not give in at all.
"Okay." The sect leader also had a headache.
"Fairy Zi Li, why don't you ask for the Xuan Tian Mirror? Although it is a one-time treasure, compared to a disciple like Yu Mu, you should know which is more important. This seat and Elder Yun will compensate you later."
Fairy Zi Li's face darkened for a bit.
The Xuantian Mirror, when three Nascent Soul masters work together, can indeed glimpse into the past and the future, but it is a rare treasure in her hands.
But now that things have come to this, there is no other way.
As a master, I cannot let my disciples suffer injustice for no reason. If he is really wronged, I have to stand up for him.
"Okay." Fairy Zi Li nodded.
Afterwards, an ancient mirror appeared in her hand. Liu He, who was kneeling there, watched the three powerful men inject spiritual power into the ancient mirror, and felt inexplicably complicated in her heart.
She didn't want to see the senior brother suffer, nor did she want him to be wronged...
No, if the eldest brother was really wronged, wouldn't she be the one who wronged him? Would he hate her for this? But when she looked at the back of that figure, he really looked like the eldest brother!
No, if it was really done by the senior brother, it would be fine if I could provide my own evidence.
With his level of cultivation, nothing will happen to him staying in the cold prison for a month... The eldest senior brother will at most suffer a little injustice and hardship, and what she lost might be the eldest senior brother's favor!
Inside the ancient mirror, under the spiritual power of three Nascent Soul masters, the scene in the Earth Veins on that day was reproduced.
Thirteen disciples were patrolling, while Yu Mu and Liu He were also meditating outside the Earth Veins.
But at this moment, a light pink aura emerged from nowhere, and the thirteen disciples on patrol were almost killed instantly! Clean and quick!
Seeing this, the faces of the Yunhe Sect's top brass all became extremely gloomy.
It wasn't Yu Mu! Yu Mu could kill thirteen mid-stage Foundation Establishment warriors instantly, but he definitely couldn't do it so neatly! And that light pink aura was very strange, a method they had never seen before.
Then, something even weirder happened.
The space of the entire Earth Vein seemed to be separated. Yu Mu in the ancient mirror seemed to have discovered something and chased after him with his sword in hand.
As for Liu He, she was at a loss as she had just established her foundation, and under the influence of the light pink aura, she seemed to be in a state of mental confusion.
She only saw thirteen disciples falling down and Yu Mu's back, but she didn't notice that there was another figure wrapped in a light pink aura not far away, which devoured all the earth energy in a short period of time!
"Bang!", The ancient mirror shattered. Fairy Zi Li's face also began to darken.
The Earth Vein energy has always been cultivated by the disciples of the sect. She did not expect that an external enemy would break in and frame Yu Mu.
"Now, the truth is out." Yun Buqi glanced at Fairy Zi Li.
The sect leader's face also turned red with anger.
At the beginning, Yu Mu said that he saw a strange figure and went out to chase it, and he was confident enough to protect the Yunhe Sect.
Now that the Xuantian Mirror was used to see the truth, Yu Mu was really wrongly blamed.
"It seems it was indeed our negligence that caused Yu nephew to suffer an unjust crime. The Xuantian Mirror can also lock auras. We will definitely find the villain and rectify the Yunhe Sect!"
"Fairy Zi Li." As he spoke, the sect leader's gaze fell on Zi Li and Liu He.
Before this, Yu Mu's surrender was very strange, he was not someone who surrendered easily.
And he said that he wanted his cultivation abolished and expelled from the sect.
In addition, he actually pushed away the junior sister whom he had doted on for ten years. It seems that this matter has really hurt his heart.
"Well, I know how to do it." Fairy Zi Li nodded.
Yu Mu never disobeyed her. She thought about going to the Cold Prison herself to pick Yu Mu up. That way, even if he was resentful, he should be grateful.
