Don't Be Afraid, I'm Not the Devil Leader!

Bai Guanlin was in a daze, mumbling to himself, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how could you possibly have so much merit? Did I really kill those people?"

He started to doubt everything in his life.

The Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda could not be wrong.

This was an unshakable belief everyone held.

In fact, the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda wasn't wrong.

Ji Changsheng did save a world.

The judgement of the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda had no errors at all.

But this had nothing to do with whether Ji Changsheng had killed or not.

However, only Ji Changsheng and Li Changxi could understand this logic.

The others simply could not separate this matter from Ji Changsheng's merit.

Apparently, Bai Guanlin and the Bai family forced the Master to use the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, intending to pin down Ji Changsheng.

Then, the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda gave Ji Changsheng the official certification of being a "Great Benevolent Person."

Now, not to mention the Bai family, even if Fairy Linglong personally appeared, it could not shake Ji Changsheng's image as a "Great Benevolent Person."

So Bai Guanlin began doubting everything in his life.

And the others looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

Naturally, the Bai family did not give him any sympathy.

They looked at him with a disappointed look of wasted potential and anger at his deceptive and clumsy actions.

They believed now that everything was a scheme concocted by Bai Guanlin.

The most infuriating thing was, Bai Guanlin had fooled them all.

Now that the situation had developed to this point, they could not turn it around anymore.

Therefore...

Ji Changsheng gave Bai Guanlin the last blow, "Bai Guanlin, stop acting. If you are a man, step up and admit everything. Evidence and witnesses are all here, facts speak louder than words, admit it, don't let others despise you, and save some dignity for yourself."

Bai Guanlin's eyes were dazed.

As if he was struck by lightning.

Only after hearing what Ji Changsheng said did Bai Guanlin come back to his senses.

All that had just happened came back to his mind.

More importantly, everything he had gone through came back to his mind.

Bai Guanlin went crazy: "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me. Ji Changsheng, it's you, you're framing me. It's the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda that got it wrong, it must have made a mistake."

Ji Changsheng sighed deeply, "It's disgraceful, really disgraceful. You can't even accept defeat, how could you win? You still want to argue at this point, it's simply like a stray dog barking, making a laughing stock of yourself."

"Ji Changsheng, you shameless, you bastard. There's something wrong with the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda, ancestors, test it again, Ji Changsheng definitely has a problem."

Bai Guanlin's angry roar echoed through the hall.

Like the wail of a defeated dog.

Making everyone from the Bai family lost for words.

Old Madam Bai was already old, and now her face was even paler, as if she was at her limit. She seemed to have lost most of her spirit.

Seeing Bai Guanlin still trying to argue at this point, the disappointment in Old Madam Bai's heart was unspeakable.

"Enough."

Old Madam Bai stopped Bai Guanlin's angry roar.

Then she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"Such a disgrace, living your years as a dog and bringing shame upon our family. It's simply a laughing stock."

She was not angered to death by Ji Changsheng.

But she was almost angered to death by Bai Guanlin.

It was too humiliating.

She didn't want to say another word to Bai Guanlin.

Things had come to this point, there was no chance for the Bai family to turn the tide today.

Old Madam Bai didn't want to stay and make a fool of herself any longer, she said to the Master, "Master, I will take my leave first. Today's events are my own humiliation, there is nothing I can say. Whatever decision you make, the Bai family will accept!"

Defeated was defeated.

She was not Bai Guanlin.

She had dignity and could accept her defeat.

After leaving her final words, Old Madam Bai directly walked towards the exit of the hall.

Bai Guanlin, this grandson... she's given up on him.

Giving up or not, it's pointless.

It's not wrong to resort to scheming, but he even involved the whole family in his disgrace. His methods are so disgraceful they're a disgrace even among disgraces.

Old Madam Bai is genuinely disappointed.

Following her departure, the Bai family members also quickly admitted defeat and retreated.

The outcomes of today's events are already settled.

Only the half-mad Bai Guanlin remains, unable to accept the reality.

"This is impossible, there must be something wrong with the Mysterious Yellow Virtue Linglong Pagoda. Master, are you taking sides with Ji Changsheng? You all must be colluding."

The Master did not get angry.

Simply looked at Bai Guanlin with pitying eyes.

The boy's gone nuts.

Had he suggested measuring his own merit, wouldn't it have proved his innocence?

Of course, even if Bai Guanlin came to that realization, he wouldn't let him test his merit.

Ji Changsheng has already set the stage, and naturally, the Master wouldn't let the show flop.

But Bai Guanlin hasn't come to his senses yet, which makes things easy for him.

Ji Changsheng continues to press relentlessly, "Master, now that the truth is clear and I am proven innocent, please punish Bai Guanlin for his crimes of treachery and framing others."

The Master: "..."

You're really not afraid of death, huh?

Young people are so hot-blooded, are you not afraid of Sister Linglong causing trouble for you?

Ji Changsheng is indeed not fearful.

Seeing the Master hesitating, Ji Changsheng discontentedly said, "Master, Bai Guanlin and I had a prior agreement witnessed by everyone present. Are we going to disregard the law simply because Bai Guanlin is from the Bai Family? 'A Saint is always watching from three feet above'. I need an explanation. If Bai Guanlin isn't punished, it will set a bad precedent for Mystic Temple. The consequences would be unimaginable."

The Master looks to the skies.

If it wasn't for his collusion with Ji Changsheng to frame Bai Guanlin, he would almost believe Ji Changsheng's bluff.

Naturally, the Master isn't suitable to make a judgement. Master Zhong Hua of the Shenxiu Lineage steps up, "Ji Changsheng, you should return to the Illusory Light lineage's Various Illusions to continue your cultivation. This matter concerning Bai Guanlin is grave and requires further discussions. We will give you an official response tomorrow."

Ji Changsheng frowns.

This isn't the response he wanted.

But since the Master is under his influence, he can't put too much pressure.

So Ji Changsheng backs down a step.

"For the Master's sake, I'll step back for now due to the overall situation. But the sun is shining high, all disciples of the Mystic Temple are waiting for a fair judgement from you masters."

The righteous warrior Ji Changsheng didn't forget to remind everyone present that he's not fighting alone.

He represents the majority of ordinary disciples.

When he emerged from the main peak hall, Ji Changsheng found that outside the main peak, hundreds of disciples were waiting in the dark night.

When they saw Ji Changsheng appear, many of them cheered.

"Changsheng, are you okay?"

The one who spoke with concern was Li Daoyan.

Ji Changsheng glanced at his cheap nephew, then at Ying Hongye hiding in the depths of the night. He realized that it must be these two who were behind this scene.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that people's hearts can be used.

Ji Changsheng nodded at Li Daoyan, then loudly said, "I thank all my fellow disciples. My survival from the main peak is not a victory for me, Ji Changsheng. It's a victory for justice!"

Fireworks explode all around Mystic Temple!

The day breaks!

...

Back in the main hall.

The Master covers his face, feeling old.

When he was young, he could never have been so skilled at posturing.

The next moment, the Master and everyone else straighten their bodies simultaneously.

A jade sword appears in the main hall.

From within the jade sword, an immortal's voice can be heard:

"Is there trouble concerning my son?"
