Chapter 148 The True and False Crimson Sword Venerable

Many of the older cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect lowered their heads thoughtfully, their hearts wavering.

The Crimson Sword Venerable has made many contributions to the sect over the years and has been generous and kind to the sect's disciples.

Among the crowd, many cultivators who had received the favor of the Crimson Sword Venerable felt compassion.

Ling Yun frowned slightly, "Demonic cultivator, stop spreading your heretical rumors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered his spiritual power and attacked the Crimson Sword Venerable.

Xiao Xuan intervened and resolved the situation.

Ling Yun looked up at Xiao Xuan and questioned him sharply, "Ignorant brat, why are you obstructing me from cleaning up my own sect?"

Xiao Xuan: "Sect Master Ling, don't be anxious."

"He is not the Crimson Sword Venerable."

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, the black-clad cultivator on the ground felt a jolt in his heart.

Then he burst into laughter.

Ling Yun looked at the black-clad cultivator on the ground, and a slight wavering appeared in his heart.

Elder Chi Jian's real name is Zhang Gu. He and Ling Yun are fellow disciples and have gone through many life-and-death situations together.

If we were to say that Elder Chijian suffered this unexpected turn of events, the most unbelievable people besides Venerable Chijian's daughter Zhang Qiao'er and his two direct disciples would be...

That's Ling Yun, the sect leader.

Now, upon hearing Xiao Xuan claim that there was a hidden story, they realized...

In an instant, Ling Yun thought of many things. Had his real junior brother been possessed by the person in front of him?

When did all of this happen?

His senior brother didn't discover a single clue, and even almost ruined his junior brother's reputation.

The more Lingyun thought about it, the colder and more solemn his expression became.

A sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

He turned to look at Zhang Qiao'er, who was being supported by Chen Chen and was unconscious.

"If what Xiao Xuan said is true, and my junior brother has suffered a calamity, then Qiao'er is his only surviving orphan," Ling Yun thought to himself.

He took out a Grade 7 healing pill from his storage ring and used a spell to hand it to Chen Chen.

Ling Yun sighed softly, "Give it to your junior sister."

"Since you claim he is not the Crimson Sword Venerable, what evidence do you have?"

Back when Xiao Xuan's cultivation level was low, he briefly used the 'Time Reversal Technique' at the Si Mansion.

Now, his cultivation level is completely different from before.

Using the 'Time Reversal Spell' was not difficult for him.

His previous silence was a reflection on the past.

At this moment, when Ling Yun asked, Xiao Xuan didn't keep him in suspense and directly pushed back three years from the time when the real Crimson Sword Venerable was killed.

After Chen Chen fed Zhang Qiao'er a seventh-grade healing pill, Zhang Qiao'er slowly woke up from Chen Chen's arms.

Upon realizing that it was her second senior brother holding her, she could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart, buried her head in Chen Chen's arms, and began to cry silently.

The elder's daughter, who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, has now fallen from grace. She wept bitterly, leaving the surrounding disciples sighing with sorrow.

Elder Gu wanted to offer some words of comfort, but he opened his mouth and then hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

A series of gasps rose and fell.

This brought Elder Gu back to his senses.

Turning around, I saw the image of the sword peak displayed on the sky above the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The main character in the picture is none other than the Crimson Sword Venerable.

Without comparison, one wouldn't notice, but upon comparison, people realized that the person in the picture and the person bound on the ground were similar in appearance but not in spirit, almost like two different people.

Chen Chen couldn't help but blurt out, "Master!"

Xiao Yun's eyes also stung with tears, and he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

"Yes, this is his master."

“This is the real Junior Brother Zhang Gu.”

"This is Elder Crimson Sword."

Xiao Yun, Chen Chen, Ling Yun, and all the elders and disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had the same thought.

Xiao Yun looked ashamed.

Clearly, the two were so different, so why had he never noticed?

Elder Gu: "Sect Master, this was three years ago?"

Ling Yun nodded, his tone heavy, "Yes."
