352: Jiuyou and the Red Dust

Upon seeing this, Hong Chen said to Qing Hui, "Sect Master, Huan You and Huan Xuan are still in my inner World; what I just created was merely based on their aura."

For a Saint King Realm expert, it is not difficult to conjure things that already exist within their inner World.

Qing Hui was overjoyed upon hearing this, while Dragon Elephant's face was grim.

The expressions of the others varied.

Once again, Huan You and Huan Xuan reappeared in the center of the main hall.

This time, no one made a move, because who knew if what Hong Chen released was real or fake; it was impossible to distinguish.

Only Hong Chen herself knew that what she released this time was real.

Huan You's first words shocked everyone.

"Sect Master Qing Hui, as long as a person's soul has not been completely corroded, I have a way to restore them."

The Phantom Poison Clan's soul corrosion poison could only be endured; no one had ever heard of an antidote.

At this moment, Huan You's words truly brought immense shock to everyone.

Huan You continued, "The corrosion poison cannot be cured, but I can absorb it. And while this substance is a bone-deep poison to you, to us Phantom Poison Clan members, it is an excellent tonic."

Huan You was so eager to explain this matter because he wanted to preserve his capital for survival.

As long as he existed, the threat of the Phantom Poison Universe's people to the Yuan Ling Universe's people would greatly diminish.

Huan You no longer cared about betrayal; he only wanted to get revenge on Phantom Poison King.

Qing Hui nodded and said, "These past years, our wars with you have been on a small scale. I have purged all clan members whose souls were completely corroded. I have noted what you said, and there will be a time for proof."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huan You was completely relieved. At least his life was temporarily saved. Next, he needed to increase his sense of presence.

Titan, who had been silent, spoke up: "Elder Huan You, ten thousand years ago, you attacked me at the base and mimicked Grand Elder Hong Chen's attack style. Who let you into the base, and who was in contact with you?"

Although it had been confirmed that Grand Elder Long Xiang was problematic, there was no evidence, and everyone was looking at Huan You.

As long as Huan You uttered the words 'Dragon Elephant,' it was estimated that everyone would rush forward and kill Dragon Elephant on the spot.

Because of the traitor incident, the Yuan Ling Universe suffered too heavy losses.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be only a dozen or so Great Saint Peak experts.

One must know that the Phantom Poison Universe and the Silver Sea Universe both had thousands of Great Saint Peak experts.

Huan You looked around and slowly said, "The person who contacted me back then never showed their face, but I have a way to find out who it was. As long as someone has spoken to me, I will remember their soul fluctuations for life; there will be no mistake. Sect Master Qing Hui, if everyone present calls out my name, I can distinguish them."

As soon as Huan You's voice fell, Grand Elder Hong Yu spoke up.

"Huan You, it's good enough that you're allowed to live. When you say that, I even suspect you're feigning surrender, trying to disrupt my Yuan Ling Universe?"

Hong Chen had personally witnessed the Man in Black and Jason's actions towards Huan You. The probability of Huan You's words being true was ninety-nine percent, after all, a Saint King Realm expert willing to enter another's inner World must have suffered a major blow.

Hong Chen admitted she couldn't do that.

However, Grand Elder Hong Yu's words also made a lot of sense. If Huan You directly accused Dragon Elephant, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

But now that things were stirred up like this, it became a bit troublesome.

Titan spoke again: "Two Sect Masters, all Grand Elders, I think there's no harm in trying. We can't tell if a soul has been completely corroded or not. Besides Sect Master Qing Hui, I really don't know who to trust."

Qing Hui nodded and said, "Huan You!"

After calling out, Huan You said, "Sect Master Qing Hui and Grand Elder Hong Yu were not the ones who contacted me back then."

Yuan Yi and Hong Chen both spoke up, but Huan You shook his head.

The remaining people were only Grand Elder Zhen Feng and Grand Elder Long Xiang.

Qing Hui's gaze turned towards Dragon Elephant: "Grand Elder Long Xiang, you just said you were innocent, you should call out too."

Dragon Elephant chuckled calmly, "Huan You!"

Huan You was momentarily stunned, then continued to shake his head.

The only person present who hadn't spoken was Grand Elder Zhen Feng. He stood up and said, "Nonsense!"

With that, he prepared to turn and leave.

But Hong Chen stood up and said, "Zhen Feng, call out first, then leave. What's the hurry?"

Qing Hui also felt a hint of unease and immediately ordered, "Artifact Spirit, forbid all entry and exit."

The Artifact Spirit replied and then fell silent.

Zhen Feng looked at Hong Chen in a rage: "Madwoman, you wouldn't really believe this Phantom Poison Clan member's words, would you?"

Hong Chen's gaze became even sharper: "Tens of thousands of years ago, the Sect Master went out on an expedition, and the Phantom Poison Clan attacked. Qing Hui and Yuan Yi were both in the Yuan Ling Sect, and the four of us faced the enemy. We won a great victory then."

"However, after that great victory, many strange things happened: several elders were attacked, the Sect Master was attacked, Titan was attacked, and so on—all pointing to one thing."

"There was a big problem with that great victory, and it lay with us four Grand Elders."

At this point, Hong Chen looked around and spoke again: "You always thought I had a problem because I spoke ambiguously, because only I knew that I hadn't been corroded."

Hong Chen seemed to be lost in thought, murmuring, "Do you still remember a person named Jiu You?"

At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan had just woken up and heard Hong Chen asking about Jiu You.

Sitting inside the Ling Tian Pagoda, Xun Xiuyuan listened intently. This Jiu You could be said to be Xun Xiuyuan's benefactor. Several of his advancements were achieved by gaining experience in the mysterious secret realm set up by Jiu You.

Qing Hui frowned: "That rogue cultivator? The Jiu You who even came to help at the Yuan Ling Sect's base?"

Hong Chen nodded: "I have always been fearless of the Phantom Poison Clan's soul attacks, precisely because of a jade pendant Jiu You gifted me a long time ago. This jade pendant's protection for the soul exceeded my imagination; at least, the Soul Secret Skill of the Saint King Realm didn't affect me much."

"Jiu You came here for me, but in a strange encounter battle, Jiu You actually disappeared. A Six-Element Saint King Realm expert actually disappeared. You must know, Jiu You, like the Sect Master, was a Six-Element Saint King Realm expert who achieved his cultivation by self-comprehending the laws, and his strength was immensely powerful."

At this moment, Xun Xiuyuan wanted to know even more where Jiu You had disappeared.

As for the rewards in Jiu You's secret realm, Xun Xiuyuan no longer cared too much; re-entering would only be to gain some experience points.

Hong Chen recounted so many past events, all to convey one thing: the four Grand Elders were the most likely to have a problem.

Seeing this, Qing Hui looked at Zhen Feng and said, "Grand Elder Zhen Feng, please cooperate."

Seeing this, Zhen Feng knew there was no retreat. He softly called out, "Huan You!"
