Chapter 512: Escaping Smoothly (1)_1
"Sect Master, though Dugu Qianye is a member of my Tenth Hall, I personally witnessed her entering the Forbidden Grounds. As an elder of the Refiners Sect, I cannot show favoritism. This matter should be handled according to the rules," Shiji glanced at Jian Yuezhi with her anxious face and said to Jian Fengxing.
"Father, Qianye must have been framed! I never arranged to meet her here. Why would someone say it was on my orders? This is clearly a setup! Moreover, Qianye said that she was pushed in by a force of Spiritual Power, she didn’t want to enter at all!" Jian Yuezhi, seeing Jian Fengxing’s face growing colder, quickly defended Dugu Qianye.
Jian Fengxing also knew that Dugu Qianye was being framed; it was obvious that the culprits were Ding Ru and Shiji. However, the fact that Dugu Qianye had entered the Forbidden Grounds was undeniable, and regardless of the reason, she could not be allowed to live today! If Dugu Qianye was executed today, Jian Yuezhi would certainly hold a grudge against him, and it was all because of her...
Ding Ru knew, no matter what Jian Yuezhi said, Dugu Qianye was doomed today. She was secretly pleased, when suddenly she felt a cold gaze upon her, like a thorn in her back, causing her to break out in a cold sweat!
However, what concerned Jian Fengxing more than anything else was the remark that the Barrier could not stop Dugu Qianye. It was fortunate that they discovered it today; if others could also bypass the Barrier like she did and sneak into the Forbidden Grounds, taking its secrets outside, the consequences would be unthinkable! It was a minor issue to tarnish the reputation of the Refiners Sect, but if it affected Yong Xing’s efforts against Zi Xiao, they could not bear such a sin!
"You say the Barrier can’t stop you?" Jian Fengxing asked Dugu Qianye.
Dugu Qianye nodded, thinking to herself that she wasn’t human at all, but a being formed from the condensation of Jiang Yu’s Spiritual Mist, without a physical body. How could a Barrier possibly stop her!
Jian Fengxing ordered the guards on either side to release Dugu Qianye. He then quickly formed a whip from his Spiritual Power and lashed it around Dugu Qianye’s waist, tossing her back through the gates of the Forbidden Grounds.
