Chapter 158 - 156: An Eye for an Eye: Nan Sheng Stained in Blood
Yan Changsheng coldly questioned, "That day, the three of you ganged up on Zhiyao and injured her with the Ancient Divine Sword, why didn’t you report the matter to the Sect Master immediately?"
The onlookers outside the Council Hall buzzed with discussion upon hearing this.
The incident of Shen Zhiyao getting injured was heard by everyone at that time, but Nan Sheng, Rong Yu, and An Lu had not reported the matter to the Sect Master.
Later, it was learned from An Lu by Shen Qinghe that Shen Zhiyao’s injury was related to the three of them, and only then did they admit to "accidentally" injuring Shen Zhiyao, a claim that was confirmed before Yan Changsheng’s appearance, indicating it was true.
That Nan Sheng injured Shen Zhiyao with the Thousand Shadows Sword indeed happened, which means that it was highly likely true that Shen Zhiyao was found lying in a pool of her own blood.
Only, no one knew why the wounds on Shen Zhiyao suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Just as the crowd was buzzing with conjecture, Dongfang Wuya suddenly appeared and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, entered the Council Hall.
Upon seeing Dongfang Wuya, Zuo An’s head ached, fearing that the patriarch would unprincipledly favor Shen Qinghe, which might not be a good thing for the Shen sisters.
While Zuo An was still worried, he heard Dongfang Wuya say, "I was not present at the scene and do not know the true events of that day. When Shen Qinghe brought Shen Zhiyao into Bixiao Tower crying uncontrollably, she begged me to save Shen Zhiyao. I examined Shen Zhiyao and indeed found no wounds on her, but she was devoid of breath, and her Golden Core severely damaged. I believed that apart from being injured by someone with a higher cultivation base, another possibility was that she was struck at a vital point by an Ancient Divine Artifact."
Zuo An was intrigued when he heard this, "Zhiyao truly had not a single wound on her body?"
"No wound, I have never seen such a strange phenomenon," Dongfang Wuya said, his gaze flickering towards Shen Qinghe.
