The death of Crown Prince Qin Taiyuan, although it caused some waves, was ultimately a matter for the Shenxiao Sacred Dynasty, so others did not pay too much attention to it.
Some people were instead worried, because they had previously felt that terrifying aura coming from the eye of the Dead Sea.
Many people almost thought that the Seal formation had collapsed.
"What exactly is going on, what happened at the bottom of the sea eye?" Many people were filled with worry.
Fortunately, the aura was suppressed again later. And not long after, Buddha Son Wenhui and Chen Xuan returned.
"Chen Xuan, where did you run off to by yourself?" On the side of the Grass Hall, Yuan Lingxuan couldn't help but ask when she saw Chen Xuan.
"I'm fine." Chen Xuan managed to pull out a smile, but his expression was not good. After all, he had suffered a huge loss this time. Losing the heavenly dao staff was a tremendous loss for him.
"Heh, the Sleeping God really has a big life." Seeing this, some of the other Grass Hall Disciples began to mock him. Especially seeing Yuan Lingxuan so concerned about Chen Xuan, they felt even more jealous. Yuan Lingxuan had a significant background, and many Grass Hall Disciples were interested in her. But unfortunately, Yuan Lingxuan only got along with Chen Xuan.
Experts from other factions asked Buddha Son Wenhui: "Buddha Son Wenhui, what exactly happened?"
Buddha Son Wenhui sighed slightly and said: "Let's go back and talk." Afterward, everyone returned to Dongling Temple to rest for a while.
After returning to Dongling Temple, experts from various factions gathered in a magnificent Buddhist hall. Buddha Son Wenhui told everyone the situation. Monks do not tell lies, so naturally, Buddha Son Wenhui did not exaggerate or add details.
"What, the heavenly dao staff was lost and snatched away by a mysterious person?" Some experts were surprised, and their gazes all fell on Chen Xuan. After all, Chen Xuan was the only person involved, and Buddha Son Wenhui had arrived later.
"That's right, that is the truth." Chen Xuan said calmly.
"The heavenly dao staff is not that easy to snatch." Some Cultivators looked thoughtful. They didn't know much about Chen Xuan, only that he was a Disciple of the Grass Hall. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be lying. After all, the Grass Hall of the Origin Academy had quite a reputation throughout the entire Origin Universe. The former Imperial Teacher Xuanyi was the founder of the Grass Hall and had many Disciples, so the reputation of the Grass Hall was very good, and its prestige was high. Precisely because of this, out of respect for the prestige of the Grass Hall, although everyone still had doubts, they didn't ask further. Moreover, since even Buddha Son Wenhui believed it, naturally, no one said anything else.
"It is just a pity for the Holy Buddha Lianhua, who is holding down the Seal formation single-handedly. It seems we must quickly find the Reincarnation of the Empress and kill her." A Cultivator said.
Hearing this, Xia Guihua, who was beside Jun Xiaoyao, lowered her eyelashes and remained silent.
Hearing this, Buddha Son Wenhui glanced at Xia Guihua from the corner of his eye without leaving a trace. But this time, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. Because he no longer had that inexplicable feeling and touch he had when he first saw Xia Guihua.
"Could it really be an illusion?" Buddha Son Wenhui thought to himself. All of this was reflected in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes. His expression remained unchanged. This was naturally his doing. Although the Buddhist Fate Perception was powerful and could perceive many Karmas, no matter how powerful, it could not compare to his immortal technique, the Lesser Destiny Technique. Jun Xiaoyao had used a trace of the power of the Lesser Destiny Technique to help cover up Xia Guihua's fluctuations, making it impossible for Buddha Son Wenhui to investigate.
After some discussion, everyone dispersed. Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the matter had passed, and this blame for the Black Calamity had not been placed on him. Otherwise, Chen Xuan's mentality would have collapsed. Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao smiled inwardly. If Chen Xuan thought that he had survived a disaster this way, that would be too naive.
In the following seven or eight days, everyone did not leave for the time being. Because many Cultivators were injured or had their Physical Body eroded by the blood mist. The Buddha Power of Dongling Temple was undoubtedly the best means to dispel the blood mist. So everyone rested at Dongling Temple for the time being.
And at some point, suddenly, some recording stones began to spread. Those recording stones all recorded the same image. It was the scene of Chen Xuan reaching out to grab the heavenly dao staff.
Seeing this, the people from various factions in Dongling Temple exploded, demanding that Chen Xuan come out to explain himself. Seeing the scene in the recording stone, Buddha Son Wenhui's eyes also widened in shock, extremely surprised. After all, he got along well with Chen Xuan and believed that Chen Xuan would definitely not do such a thing. But the recording stone would not lie.
Soon, Chen Xuan was called by everyone and surrounded in the center for interrogation. "Is there some mistake somewhere? Chen Xuan, he couldn't have done such a thing..." Yuan Lingxuan and other Grass Hall Disciples also followed. She had a look of disbelief. In her heart, Chen Xuan had always been lazy and indifferent to the world. How could he possibly do something like stealing the heavenly dao staff and destroying the Seal formation?
Buddha Son Wenhui also arrived, frowning slightly at this moment. He actually didn't quite believe it either, as he had a natural fondness for Chen Xuan. However, the scene in the recording stone did not seem fake. Chen Xuan had deceived him.
"No, this..." Chen Xuan was surrounded in the center by the crowd, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, filled with embarrassment, resentment, and other emotions. He never expected that the person who had plotted against him had actually recorded the image. It was one thing to cut him off and take away his heavenly dao staff. But now, they even wanted him to take the blame. This simply made Chen Xuan's heart and lungs feel like they were going to explode with anger. He felt like he was a huge scapegoat! But at this moment, he could not defend himself. Because the fact that he wanted to snatch the heavenly dao staff was indeed true.
"Now the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"
"That's right, you are from the Grass Hall, yet you do such things that tarnish the reputation of the Grass Hall, it is truly shameful!"
"The Holy Buddha Lianhua is still suppressing the Seal formation because of your actions, your crimes are monstrous!"
"Hurry up and hand over the heavenly dao staff!" The surrounding factions all shouted angrily, glaring at Chen Xuan.
"I do not have the heavenly dao staff!" Chen Xuan said, clenching his fists tightly.
"Then fine, open your Sea of Consciousness and let us search it to prove your innocence." An expert from a faction stood out and said coldly.
Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly. How could that be possible? Opening his Sea of Consciousness was no different from letting others put a knife to his throat. No one wanted to do that. Not to mention that he had the Three Lives Reincarnation Seal in his mind; although it could hide itself, what if something was discovered? Chen Xuan did not want to be exposed in this situation; the consequences would be too unpredictable.
"Impossible." Chen Xuan flatly refused. This attitude made many people present laugh with anger.
"Heh, feeling guilty? What else can you argue now?" Someone sneered.
Chen Xuan's body trembled slightly, his blood flowing backward. In the crowd, Jun Xiaoyao was playing the role of a bystander, quietly watching this good show.
