"Hmm?"

Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang accepted the Jade Scroll given by Princess Changle. As soon as his Divine Sense delved into it, an expression of surprise appeared on his face, and he cast a curious glance at the Ba’erlong brothers.

This scene piqued the curiosity of all the priests present, causing the Ba’erlong brothers, along with the Second and Seventh Grand Power Sacrifices, Tongna and Tumen Changyin, to feel uneasy.

What kind of evidence could make Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang show such an expression?

"Seeing your curious looks, very well then, lest you all say that I, the Great Chief Priest, am being unfair. Let’s all take a look at this evidence provided by Palace Master Ji!"

With a chuckle, he released a massive Spirit Light from his palm, instantly unsealing the Jade Scroll with a Secret Technique.

Above the Barbarian Spirit Hall, a scene emerged, revealing a vision of the great ceremony at the time, just as the Barbarian Clan music and dance retreated and the First Deputy Hall Master Ba’erlong rose.

It turned out that the Jade Scroll sent by Princess Changle was actually a Shadow Capture Jade Slip.

Upon seeing that image, the Ba’erlong brothers’ faces turned ugly; they never expected Princess Changle to have such a card up her sleeve.

Such vigilance, to record the Spirit Shadow before they even started their scheming.

In fact, the Shadow Capture Jade Slip was given to Princess Changle by Ye Zhen.

When Ye Zhen saw Ba’erlong standing up, he instinctively felt that this Ba’erlong was up to no good.

As the saying goes, "Better to be prepared." Anyway, a few Shadow Capture Jade Slips weren’t too costly for Ye Zhen to waste, so he simply recorded the Spirit Shadow.

Unexpectedly, it was put to good use.

The Shadow Capture Jade Slip perfectly restored the scene inside the Barbarian Spirit Hall at that time.

Ba’erlong brothers first provoked, Princess Changle then stopped their attempt to demonstrate martial arts, after which the Ba’erlong brothers continued their provocations toward Ye Zhen, inciting him, leading Ye Zhen to angrily accept the challenge!

Of course, the situation at that time was also that Ye Zhen intended to have a confrontation with them, but judging from this image within the Jade Scroll now, everyone instinctively thought that Ye Zhen couldn’t endure the ridicule and angrily accepted the challenge.

After the Spirit Shadow ended, a silence lingered in the Barbarian Spirit Hall until Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang cast a questioning gaze towards the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice, Tumen Changyin.

The eyes of all the priests in the hall turned towards Tumen Changyin.

Tumen Changyin paused for a moment before letting out a laugh.

"What can this prove?"

"This Spirit Shadow can at most prove that the demonstration was initiated by the Ba’erlong brothers, but it cannot clear Ye Zhen of the charge of attempting to murder a fellow temple priest under the guise of martial arts.

Aside from this, what else can this Shadow Capture Jade Slip prove?" Tumen Changyin retorted.

"Indeed, that’s true! This indeed proves nothing!" The Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna nodded in agreement.

The synchronization of these two voices immediately left the other priests perplexed.

It seems true that it proves nothing, and even more so doesn’t clear Ye Zhen of the charge of attempting to murder a fellow temple priest!

"Then take another look at this Shadow Capture Jade Slip!" Princess Changle presented another Jade Scroll, piquing the interest of priests outside the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

Another piece of evidence?

Soon, Princess Changle’s Shadow Capture Jade Slip reappeared above the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

This time, the emerging Shadow Capture was of the agreement between Ba’erhu and Ye Zhen before the demonstration, especially Ba’erhu’s emphatic line,

’Everyone bears witness, this performance has been permitted by the Hall Master, but swords have no eyes; once we strike, it will shake the heavens and earth. Should Left Chief Priest Ye be harmed, please do not hold a grudge!’

This statement, previously meant to pre-emptively absolve Ba’erhu of responsibility for injury, was crystal clear.

By now, any priest who’s not too foolish has seen the truth from these two Jade Slips.

In fact, the Ba’erlong and Ba’erhu brothers wanted to use the demonstration as an opportunity to teach Ye Zhen a lesson, but things did not go as planned, as Ye Zhen’s strength was astonishing.

Not only did they fail to teach Ye Zhen a lesson, but Ba’erhu almost got himself caught in a precarious situation.

Then, their anger and humiliation led them to falsely accuse Ye Zhen of intending to harm a fellow temple priest under the guise of martial arts.

They invited the two Grand Power Sacrifices, Tongna and Tumen Changyin, to deal with Ye Zhen, thereby igniting a fierce conflict between the Barbarian Spirit Hall and Tumen Grand Power Sacrifice.

As soon as this Jade Scroll Spirit Shadow was released, the few Day Priests who had previously supported the Ba’erhu brothers fell silent.

Even the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna’s face turned somewhat grim.

The other side’s foresight is truly....

However, the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin remained unfazed, saying, "Can this really count as evidence? Isn’t it customary in our Ancestor God Temple’s demonstrations to utter these few ceremonial words?

After all, it’s just a demonstration, but we must give our all; accidental injuries are possible!

This is merely basic martial etiquette, can it truly serve as evidence?

Ridiculous!"

The Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tumen Changyin coldly laughed, flicking his sleeve.

"They all say Tumen Grand Power Sacrifice is eloquent, and seeing it today, it’s indeed extraordinary! According to your words, accidental injuries are possible.

Then how does injuring Ba’erhu translate into premeditated murder?"

"So, according to you, Ba’erhu injuring me, Ye Zhen, is an accident, while I injuring Ba’erhu is intentional murder!

No matter who wins or loses, the reasoning always favors Ba’erhu. Is it that I, Ye Zhen, deserve to get beaten?"

At this point, Ye Zhen, full of anger, furiously questioned, "I dare to ask the Tup Menn Great Priest, where is the justice in this?"

"I have always acted justly..."

Before Tup Menn Changyin could finish, Ye Zhen yelled at him in rage, "Justice? So this is the kind of justice of the Tup Menn Great Priest?

Aren’t you afraid of becoming the laughingstock of the 150,000 priests of our Barbarian Spirit Hall?"

With Ye Zhen’s relentless questioning and this new evidence, Tup Menn Changyin’s face turned extremely ugly, yet he still resisted.

"Justice lies in the heart, I only seek a clear conscience..."

"What a clear conscience!" Princess Changle’s mocking voice sounded, "Tup Menn Great Priest, you’d better not speak too soon, lest you slap your own face and lose dignity!"

"Great Chief Priest, Changle here has another Spirit Shadow!"

This Spirit Shadow was directly displayed by Princess Changle above the main hall of the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

It was the scene of Ye Zhen battling Ba’erhu.

As soon as Ba’erhu made a move, it showed him attacking Ye Zhen with three astonishing Tiger Arrows.

However, this time, not only was there a Spirit Shadow, but also Princess Changle’s explanation.

"Great Chief Priest, fellow Great Priests, fellow Sacrifice Priests, and priests present, you can see that our Barbarian Spirit Hall’s Left Chief Priest Ye, while his combat power is outstanding, his cultivation is only at the Sixth Stage of Divine Communication Realm. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Moreover, previously, the highest combat power and record publicly displayed by our Barbarian Spirit Hall’s Left Chief Priest Ye Zhen was defeating an early-stage Realm King Realm expert.

However, Ba’erhu has an astonishing record of defeating ninth-stage Realm King Realm experts, and he immediately used his signature ultimate technique, the Triple Tiger Arrow Kill.

If it weren’t for the recent great progress in Body Cultivation of our Left Chief Priest Ye Zhen, those three arrows would have exploded him into a blood mist, leaving no intact corpse.

Thus, Ye Zhen was angered and retaliated to save his life!

Clearly, the root of this incident actually lies in the Ba’erlong and Ba’erhu brothers trying to use the opportunity of sparring to harm Ye Zhen!

But the Tup Menn Great Priest came afterwards, adding fuel to the fire, not only insulting our Barbarian Spirit Hall but also trying to reverse black and white to convict Ye Zhen..."

"To add guilt to innocence!" Tup Menn Changyin rudely interrupted Princess Changle’s accusation, "These are all just your subjective assumptions..."

Princess Changle was fed up with Tup Menn Changyin’s thick-skinned nature, and spoke without restraint.

"Tup Menn Great Priest, your eyes might be blind, but not everyone else’s are!"

Hearing this, Tup Menn Changyin became enraged, "How dare you, Ji Changle, you..."

"Enough, be silent!"

Just as Tup Menn Changyin tried to exploit the situation, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang, with a face as dark as ever, burst out in anger!

"Tup the Seventh, isn’t today embarrassing enough for you? If you continue like this, you’ll disgrace the face of our Ancestor God Temple!" The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang angrily pointed at Tup Menn Changyin.

Tup Menn Changyin’s old face flushed red, but he stubbornly retorted, "Bai Xiang, clarify for me, where have I lost disgrace..."

Bai Xiang, however, ignored Tup Menn Changyin and looked gloomily towards the silent Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna.

"Tong Two, what is your opinion?"

Asked by the furious Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang, Tongna hesitated.

Seeing this, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang was incensed.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"You’ve come this far, yet you refuse to admit your fault! Well, if you want to be disgraced, I’ll accompany you in tearing this face apart!"

Amidst the astonished gaze of all the priests, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang strode out of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, speaking as he walked.

"Since you don’t acknowledge reason and evidence, if I forcefully adjudicate, you wouldn’t admit it either!

Then fine, I’ll now issue a Talisman Summoning to convene an ancestral law assembly at the Qiankun Hall of Great Zhou, inviting the Holy Son of Heaven, Great Zhou, the Six Ministers, the king, and officials to judge the justice, to let them see these pieces of evidence and your disgraceful behavior today!

Then, adjudicate through the Ancestor God Temple and Great Zhou’s ancestral laws!"

If the previous sentences only made Tongna and Tup Menn Changyin’s faces change drastically, the last sentence stripped their faces of all color.

The reason is simple; despite being the Great Chief Priest, Bai Xiang cannot decide their major crimes as Great Priests; only the ancestral laws of the Ancestor God Temple and Great Zhou can do so.

Not to mention the final consequences, these evidences, especially their shameless behavior today, once seen by the court officials, Tup Menn Changyin would have no reputation left; he’d be completely ruined!

As for Ba’erlong brothers, once involved in the ancestral law assembly, they’d truly become cannon fodder.

In an instant, the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tup Menn Changyin panicked, hurriedly looking at Tongna, indicating Tongna to salvage the situation.

"Great Chief Priest, family shame shouldn’t be publicized, indeed Tup the Seventh was wrong in this matter! Please come back, we’ll handle it internally, internally!" the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna said helplessly.

The Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang’s footsteps paused, asking with his back turned, "Tup the Seventh, are you willing to accept punishment?"

The Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tup Menn Changyin showed an extremely humiliating expression, then nodded reluctantly, "Willing... yes!"
