Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 461: Turning Black into White

"You've lost!"

Jin Feiyan leaned against the peak's summit, upon the pillar of the stone gate.

A scornful and playful smirk curled at the edge of her lips, her gaze mocking as she watched an utterly confused Zhao Yu.

"..."

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Zhao Yu unconsciously took a few steps forward, staring blankly at Jin Feiyan before him, his complexion alternating between ashen and flushed with indescribable brilliance, "Impossible, you must have cheated. I didn't see you at all along the way, how could you possibly win?"

Along the way.

He had employed the ancestral movement technique "Thousand Miles March" and the Tianjian Sect's imposing "Ascending Cloud Leap," his speed unquestionably fast, surpassing the third-place contender by several miles in a hundred-mile race.

But now...

Jin Feiyan, whom he hadn't spotted even once during the race, had surprisingly overtaken him.

How could he believe it?

Jin Feiyan snorted coldly with a detached tone, "Is this the grace of a Tianjian Sect disciple? When you lose, you accuse me of cheating?"

"It's impossible, utterly impossible!"

Zhao Yu's face darkened.

He had made a guarantee in front of Yang Kun, promising to win this competition for the privilege of offering the first incense.

Now, however, he was defeated by Jin Feiyan, someone he hadn't even taken seriously, and Yang Kun surely wouldn't let him off easily!

In an instant.

Evil intentions rose to Zhao Yu's heart, he scanned left and right and saw no one else, his eyes flickered with a spiteful venom, "As long as I kill you now, no one will know who reached the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain first..."

Whoosh!

Zhao Yu's figure shot up abruptly, turning the sudden whirlwind into sharp blades.

Storm blades were even sharper than knives and swords.

Transforming into two ferocious gusts of wind, he swept towards Jin Feiyan, the blade's sharpness causing her complexion to shift slightly.

Just as his attack was about to succeed.

Zhao Yu's face was full of smugness and ferocity, "History belongs to the victor, as long as I kill you, no one will know I lost..."

However...

Just as his attack was about to hit Jin Feiyan.

At the gate of the mountain.

Beast Kings, who had long been moved to the summit like statues, simultaneously opened their eyes, their cold gazes falling on Zhao Yu as they thunderously growled, "Audacious!"

Hum!

The waves of sound rumbled like a tide, furiously rolling in.

Boom!

Zhao Yu's offensive was crushed to pieces, and the roaring sound waves hurled him flying, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood. He somersaulted dozens of meters before crashing to the ground with a thud.

Blood gushed wildly from all seven orifices.

The two Beast Kings glared furiously, their eyes emanating a cold gleam as they stared down Zhao Yu, "How dare you cause trouble at the Xiaoshanhe Institute, do you wish to die?"

The Beast King on the left looked toward Jin Feiyan, "Feiyan, are you alright?"

Jin Feiyan shook her head, also feeling a lingering fear, "Thank you both for your help!"

"You are a disciple of the Institute Head, of course we must protect you completely!"

"Feiyan, this scoundrel dared to ambush you and sought your life, shall I slay him for you?" Both Beast Kings' cold gazes landed on Zhao Yu, turning his complexion even more deathly pale.

Jin Feiyan opened her mouth to speak.

But at that moment...

Numerous figures arrived from not far away; all were strong contestants participating in the competition for the privilege of offering the first incense. They saw Zhao Yu lying on the ground, bleeding from all his orifices, while Jin Feiyan stood beyond the stone gate. The crowd exchanged glances, "What happened here?"

"Could it be that Jin Feiyan won?"

"Her speed is indeed terrifying; we were leading her by several miles, but she still caught up!"

"But how could Zhao Yu be lying here severely wounded?"

Amidst the conversation.

Zhao Yu, lying on the ground, suddenly shifted his gaze and yelled, "Everyone, be careful! I had already arrived at the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain first, but just as I was about to enter, I was ambushed by these two guardian beasts and severely injured. That allowed Jin Feiyan to step ahead of me and enter the summit of Imperial Dragon Mountain..."

"What?"

"Is that really what happened?"

"I know these two guardian beasts; they are both sixth-tier Beast Kings, personally subdued by Institute Head Xiao to stand guard over Imperial Dragon Mountain!"

```

"Dammit... they must have deliberately interfered with Zhao Yu to secure Jin Feiyan's victory!"

"Such tactics are too vicious, aren't they?"

The crowd cursed in unison.

At that moment, emotions ran high with indignation.

Zhao Yu's face was full of pride, his pale face showing a deep color of pain and sorrow as he earnestly said, "Jin Feiyan, if you had won fair and square, I, Zhao Yu, would have no complaints. But your methods are just too malicious and cunning; such actions are a disgrace to the honor of Xiaoshanhe Institute..."

"Those Beast Kings obey only Headmaster Xiao, so it must have been an order from Xiao Yi!"

"My God... all this time I heard that Xiao Tianjiao imprisoned Xiao Yi for eight years because Xiao Yi's character was flawed, and now it seems to be true!"

Listeining to the crowd's whispering and accusations.

Each word was like a fishbone stuck in her throat; her eyes were a wronged shade of red as she defended herself, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I never asked the two Beast Kings to step in. I was the first to arrive here, and Zhao Yu attacked me by surprise; that's when the Beast Kings injured him..."

Zhao Yu, with a look of anguished desperation, said, "Jin Feiyan, you are utterly shameless. I have been ahead of you all along, how could you have possibly overtaken me? Fine, since you insist on confusing right and wrong, I will prove my innocence by severing my own arm!"

Crack!

Zhao Yu was decisive, breaking his own left arm on the spot.

Pale bones pierced through flesh; blood cascaded down from his arm.

Zhao Yu's face turned pale as he endured the intense pain and roared, "Do you believe me now?"

"Zhao Yu, we believe you!"

"Jin Feiyan, you have no shame!"

"Xiao Yi is disgraceful!"

"Xiaoshanhe Institute, so faceless..." the crowd pointed at Jin Feiyan, shouting accusations.

The two Beast Kings, hearing them insult Xiao Yi, let out simultaneous angry growls. At that moment, a dull horn sounded. Emperor Qian and others were seen approaching in a grand procession; they too witnessed the scene before them.

Yang Kun immediately came forward to inquire and after a moment, with a gloomy expression, he looked at Jin Feiyan and said, "Jin Feiyan, I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"

"Brother Emperor, how can you take his word for it on this matter?" Yang Ling said.

Yang Kun snorted coldly, "What? With ironclad evidence, do you think there's any other possibility? Or do you think Brother Zhao is lying?"

In the crowd, someone speculated, "It's not impossible that he's lying."

"Without concrete evidence, indeed it's not right to rashly believe one side's words..."

As the crowd discussed this,

Huihai Sword Master simply stated, "Disciples of Tianjian Sect have virtuous conduct; they would never lie!"

Hiss!

Everyone was taken aback.

This was indeed a super expert from the Nirvana Realm; under his icy gaze, those who had been skeptical changed their tune, "Huihai Deputy Sect Master is right, the disciples of Tianjian Sect have conduct that can withstand scrutiny; they shouldn't lie!"

"On the other hand, Xiaoshanhe Institute... Yes, I've heard that many of them are slaves from Beast Emperor City; using any dirty tactics wouldn't be surprising!"

Facing the crowd's accusations and questioning,

Jin Feiyan felt utterly indignant and unable to defend herself, and with a face full of shame she said, "I really didn't cheat... What must I do for you all to believe me?"

Yang Kun indifferently said, "Brother Zhao dared to prove his innocence by severing his arm. If you truly are innocent, do you dare to kill yourself to prove your purity?"

"Kill myself?"

Jin Feiyan trembled all over.

This was asking her to commit suicide!

Seeing Jin Feiyan hesitate, Yang Kun said with a sneer, "Look... you really are guilty, you dare not prove your innocence! It seems that Xiaoshanhe Institute really is hiding filth, even daring to cheat in such a solemn competition like Head Fragrance Contest. It appears Xiao Yi is indeed unfit to continue as the head of Xiaoshanhe Institute!"

"Shut up!"

Jin Feiyan, seeing Yang Kun directly insulting Xiao Yi, had her eyes turn red with rage, her chest heaving violently as she roared, "None of you believe me, so today I will prove my innocence with my life."

Zing!

Jin Feiyan suddenly pulled out a short sword and swung it towards her neck.

The faces of most present bore an indifferent expression, some even subtly excited. Only Yang Ling, Qi, and Dongfang had a change in expression, ready to intervene, yet they were stopped by a sword stroke from Huihai Sword Master.

Huihai Sword Master calmly said, "Since she wants to prove her innocence, it's best you don't interfere!"

"You..."

Yang Ling and the others' faces changed rapidly.

Just as Jin Feiyan's life was about to end at her own short sword, a cold light burst forth in that instant.

Clang!

The sword flew from her hand, buzzing as it embedded itself in the ground. In the void, an indifferent voice arose, "Whether my disciple Xiao Yi is innocent or not, does not require your approval."
