Chapter 2690: Taking Out the Talisman

This matter absolutely cannot be allowed to slide easily!

"Is this true?!" the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace said coldly.

"I've been framed… This is absolutely a frame-up! These are all baseless fabrications! I hope the Palace Master will see clearly!" Wen Xing immediately roared upon seeing this.

He definitely could not admit to such a thing. If he did, the consequences would be unthinkable!

"Yes, Palace Master, I've been framed! It was Xiao Fan who slandered me!" Niu Kai roared, shouting with all his might.

Hearing this, the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace looked at Immortal Lord Wen Zhen beside him. "Wen Zhen, what do you think?"

Niu Kai could be ignored, but Wen Xing was a member of the Wen Family. Even if Wen Xing were to be punished, Immortal Lord Wen Zhen would have to be the one to do it personally!

"Xiao Fan, do you have any evidence…" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen said coldly.

Even if he had already guessed the truth in his heart—that Wen Xing must have ignored his instructions and tried to harm Xiao Fan—at this moment, he still had to show favoritism toward Wen Xing.

"This Disciple has no evidence!" Xiao Fan said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, many Kongchen Palace Elders in the main hall were stunned. No evidence?

You dare to cause such a scene without evidence?

Without evidence, you dare to bring Wen Xing to the main hall and cause a disturbance?!

"Hehehe… Without evidence, it's just your word against theirs. Xiao Fan, do you know the penalty for slandering a fellow Disciple?!" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen sneered, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"This Disciple would like to ask Elder Wen Zhen a question, if I may!" Xiao Fan looked at Immortal Lord Wen Zhen and bowed with cupped hands.

"Speak," Immortal Lord Wen Zhen said coldly.

"Did you ever give Wen Xing a Talisman you refined personally…?" Xiao Fan said slowly.

"I've given Talismans I refined personally to the descendants of the Wen Family. What's the problem with that?" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen said coldly.

In the main hall, everyone was also puzzled, unsure of what Xiao Fan meant by asking this.

"Hehehe… In that case, Elder Wen Zhen has admitted it," Xiao Fan sneered.

"What have I admitted?"

"Niu Kai, where did the Talisman you used in the Ancient Water Spirit Realm come from?!" Xiao Fan said coldly.

"This… I didn't use any! What Talisman? I don't know!" Seeing the situation, Niu Kai immediately shook his head and shouted that he was being framed.

How could he let himself be trapped by Xiao Fan?

"Hehehe… Still being stubborn?" Xiao Fan said coldly. "Would a Talisman personally refined by a Divine Wheel Realm expert be found just anywhere? Since you used such a Talisman, the aura of a Divine Wheel Realm expert must still linger on your body…"

"This…" Hearing this, Niu Kai's expression changed drastically.

Indeed.

It had only been a few days since Niu Kai used the Talisman refined by Immortal Lord Wen Zhen. There was bound to be a lingering aura on him, and an expert would be able to tell the truth at a glance.

If the aura of a Divine Wheel Realm expert was truly detected on him, wouldn't that prove he was lying just now?!

"Palace Master, Elders, I wonder who is willing to step forward and conduct an inspection… to clear this Disciple's name!" Xiao Fan bowed with cupped hands.

Inside the main hall, many Elders looked toward Immortal Lord Wen Zhen in unison…

It was impossible for Niu Kai to possess a Talisman refined by a Divine Wheel Realm expert!

That would mean the Talisman was given by Wen Xing. With such proof, wouldn't it mean everything Xiao Fan said was true!

Immortal Lord Yulong's face was ashen. He really wanted to step forward and perform a thorough inspection… but considering that doing so would surely make an enemy of Immortal Lord Wen Zhen, he temporarily held back.

The same was true for Immortal Lord De Ye… If possible, Immortal Lord De Ye also didn't want to step forward and do such a thing.

The Palace Master of Kongchen Palace looked left and right. Seeing that none of the Elders spoke up, he gave a bitter smile.

None of those present were fools; they had all seen through what was going on.

Undoubtedly, everything Xiao Fan said was true!

Next, it depended on how to bring this to a close… The matter couldn't be allowed to escalate further.

Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's face was ashen. Things had reached a point where it was difficult to resolve… In truth, for Divine Wheel Realm experts like them, even without performing a personal inspection, they could sense from where they stood that there was indeed a residual Divine Wheel Realm aura on Niu Kai!

"Xiao Fan, even if Niu Kai used a Divine Wheel Realm Talisman to frame you, what makes you think that Talisman was given by Wen Xing!" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen gritted his teeth.

He still wanted to exonerate Wen Xing…

"Hehehe… This Disciple cannot prove that," Xiao Fan sneered. "However… please have Wen Xing produce the Talisman given to him by Elder Wen Zhen. One look from the Elders will settle it."

"…"

Hearing this, Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's eyes were filled with killing intent…

Wen Xing's face was deathly pale… How could he possibly have any Talismans left?!
