That subconscious movement was instantly caught by Ye Yu.

He immediately said, "You have a guilty conscience, so now you’re worried Elder Ge might see through you?"

A simple sentence—

Yet it caused both Hua Junshuang and Elder Ge’s expressions to change drastically.

What happened back then had indeed been extremely strange.

But Elder Ge had never once associated it with Hua Junshuang.

Now that it was spoken aloud, however—

It did not seem impossible.

Hua Junshuang’s face flushed red as she said in a muffled voice, "Ye Yu, I have neither grievance nor enmity with you. Why are you throwing dirty water on me?"

"When you were throwing dirty water on me, why didn’t you say that?"

Ye Yu shot back directly, without the slightest fear.

To be honest, he had long seen that Hua Junshuang’s character was crooked.

When they parted before, Ye Yu had already kept a cautious eye.

He had been secretly observing Hua Junshuang’s movements all along.

That was why, when she tried to frame him, he stepped out immediately.

From her words and behavior, Ye Yu could now be completely certain—

Hua Junshuang was nothing but a scheming manipulator.

He could not tolerate it.

So he used her own methods against her.

Moreover, when she heard Li Mu’s name, her state had clearly become abnormal.

Could it be that he had truly provoked something out of her?

At that thought, the scrutiny in Ye Yu’s gaze deepened.

The same was true for Elder Ge.

Though the few remaining strands of hair atop his head fluttered in the wind, his mind began racing at high speed.

"Xiao Shuang, tell me yourself. What was the truth of what happened back then?"

Hua Junshuang’s eyes reddened slightly. Tears began to pool in them as she clutched her chest, looking heartbroken.

"I truly did not expect that after so long, you would say such hurtful words. When I was with you, I was completely devoted. Then because of your wife’s fall, you disappeared for millions of years."

"After we finally meet again, you begin to suspect me because of someone else’s words?"

"Ge Shen, do you even have a conscience?"

Under this textbook reversal of blame, Elder Ge was left speechless.

The doubt in his eyes instantly faded by more than half, replaced instead with guilt and remorse.

It had to be said—

Hua Junshuang’s words seemed reasonable.

But while that appearance might deceive Elder Ge, it could not deceive Ye Yu.

"Want to prove your innocence? How about I extract your soul and examine it carefully first?"

"Then the truth will naturally come to light."

"Don’t worry. My hands are very steady when extracting souls. There shouldn’t be much danger."

"You—"

Hearing this, Hua Junshuang lost control of her expression. She pointed at Ye Yu, unable to speak for a long time.

Was that even something a human would say?

Soul extraction for interrogation—at best would cause soul turbulence and turn someone into an idiot; at worst, instant death.

This was pushing someone toward death!

Standing at the side, Elder Ge waved his hand. "Fellow Daoist Ye, there’s no need. I think—"

Before he could finish—

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Shut up! Ye Yu, I think your proposal is excellent. Extract her soul!"

"If my mother’s death has nothing to do with her, then we leave it at that."

"But if it does, then she must die here today. I said so!"

Zhu Xincheng’s figure arrived silently.

Like a blazing sun that none could look at directly—

Yet the torn magical robe on her body proved she had just experienced a brutal battle.

Hua Junshuang narrowed her eyes slightly.

This woman was no longer the little girl from millions of years ago.

Now she was not only the Lord of the Divine Alliance, but her strength had reached the Divine Lord Realm.

With her own power, she could not contend against that.

So Hua Junshuang could only cast a pleading gaze toward Elder Ge.

Hoping that at this moment, he would step forward to speak for her.

But Elder Ge seemed to have no such intention.

He lowered his head and looked at the clouds beneath his feet. After a long silence, he said softly,

"Xiao Shuang, actually... I also want to know the truth. If this matter isn’t clarified, I won’t know how to face you in the future. Fellow Daoist Ye, I hope your hands are steady."

Elder Ge was not a cold hearted man.

Otherwise, he would not have sunk into despair for millions of years after his wife’s death.

But once a seed of suspicion is planted—

It takes root and sprouts at terrifying speed, growing stronger and stronger.

This meeting had already caused Elder Ge to suspect that Hua Junshuang might indeed be connected to Li Mu’s death.

The truth was extremely important to him.

He urgently wanted an answer.

Just as Zhu Xincheng said—

If Hua Junshuang was truly innocent, then all would be well.

But if Li Mu’s death truly had anything to do with her—

Then everything would be destroyed.

Ye Yu flicked his sleeve lightly and said with a smile, "Don’t worry. My hands will be steady. Hua whatever your name is—remember not to resist. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I won’t be responsible."

Seeing that Ye Yu was serious, Hua Junshuang could not help taking half a step back.

"Bastard! How much longer are you going to wait? Make your move!"

As soon as the words fell—

A sudden upheaval erupted.

Within a radius of a hundred li, the land was completely shrouded by a layer of black light.

Countless sounds of wailing ghosts suddenly rose, turning the place into something like the depths of the Underworld.

A bone piercing chill swept across the entire area.

Elder Ge’s expression changed drastically.

He shook his head in disbelief.

"No... it shouldn’t be like this. It absolutely shouldn’t be like this. Full Moon should have shattered long ago!"

Full Moon was the name of the moon blade Elder Ge had forged.

In the next second—

A moon blade suddenly appeared in midair.

Then it was grasped by a withered hand.

A ghost god in black robes stood suspended in the air and sneered.

"Ge Shen, after so many years, did you miss me?"

Elder Ge gritted his teeth.

"Pang Bobing!"

That ghost god who had appeared was none other than Pang Bobing, the culprit who had shattered Elder Ge’s family.

As the saying goes—

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze red.

Before Elder Ge could act—

Zhu Xincheng could no longer restrain herself and launched an attack first.

As her hands formed seals—

The originally dark space was suddenly flooded with blazing light.

A scorching sun manifested above everyone’s heads out of thin air, overturning downward with overwhelming force!

In that instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

The ghostly wails vanished.

All ghost creatures seemed to be eradicated at once.

The bone chilling cold was completely replaced by the warmth of a blazing sun.
