Seeing this situation, Zeng Shiming was instantly terrified and quickly shouted: "No, you can’t do this, Lord Temple Master save..."

Before he could finish speaking, Master Qingwei suddenly made a move, lifting her hand and delivering a strike that instantly killed him by the energy transmitted through the air!

And Wei Yong did not stop it at all throughout the process.

Not until Zeng Shiming fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, did Wei Yong look at Master Qingwei with a serious expression and question: "Master Qingwei, what is the meaning of this?"

In response to his questioning, Master Qingwei calmly replied: "Zeng Shiming was once a Disciple of our sect and had represented our sect in several secret missions. He knew too many of our sect’s secrets. How could I allow you, Wei, to search his soul and leak our secrets!"

Hearing this, Wei Yong sharply questioned: "If Master Qingwei says so, can I also presume that his actions of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country might be related to your sect?"

"Speak cautiously, friend Wei!"

The complexion of Master Qingwei changed, and she immediately retorted angrily: "Ancestor Qingxiao sacrificed his life to destroy the space transmission channel built by Demon Cultivators, even going as far as to self-destruct his Nascent Soul. His body isn’t even cold yet, and you slander our sect like this. Aren’t you afraid that such remarks might dishearten all the Cultivators across the world?"

Wei Yong, however, did not back down and responded: "The heroic deeds of True Person Qingxiao are indeed admirable. However, his sacrifices should not serve as a reason for the misdeeds of the younger generations!"

After speaking, he sternly told Master Qingwei: "If Master Qingwei does not provide a proper explanation today, I will have to make this matter public and let the public judge the right from wrong!"

So this is his real purpose?

Master Qingwei looked at Wei Yong with a heavy expression, her mind swirling with various thoughts, feeling somewhat uncertain.

When she acted just now, she had actually prepared for Wei Yong to stop her.

But unexpectedly, Wei Yong did not intervene.

She didn’t believe that Wei Yong simply failed to react, it must have been intentional on his part.

So now, the firm tone of Wei Yong carried a meaning that warranted a deeper contemplation.

Thinking this, Master Qingwei did not rush to respond verbally but began pondering over Wei Yong’s true intentions and the potential consequences of her reply.

After careful deliberation, a sense of fear suddenly surged within Master Qingwei.

She suspected that she had been schemed against, that the Green Lotus Temple had been schemed against, and that her response had somewhat fallen into a trap.

"The ancestor traded his life for two hundred years of peace for our sect and an Infant Transformation Pill, but these matters are not to be made public. What visibly brings profit to our sect from the ancestor’s sacrifice is the fame earned from his heroic deeds!"

"If, under the current overwhelming praise for the ancestor’s heroic deeds, there emerges a case of a sect Disciple colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, then..."

At this thought, Master Qingwei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, her gaze towards Wei Yong filled with shock and anger.

Immediately, she couldn’t help but angrily shout: "Friend Wei, the senior True Person Yinyue from your faction personally promised Ancestor Qingxiao to ensure two hundred years of peace for our Green Lotus Temple!"

"Now that the body of the ancestor is still warm, you calculate against our sect like this, don’t you think this is too much?"

By the end, Master Qingwei’s voice even trembled slightly.

Seeing her finally panicking, Wei Yong couldn’t help but reveal a smug expression.

Then leisurely said: "What Master Qingwei said is incorrect. The deeds of Zeng Shiming colluding with the enemy and betraying the country occurred before the passing of True Person Qingxiao."

Then, turning the conversation, he added: "Moreover, I am just acting impartially, even if True Person Qingxiao were still alive, he would likely support my thorough investigation of this matter, even personally stepping forward to cleanse the sect!"

The final phrase "cleanse the sect" was emphasized with a deeper tone, his eyes meaningfully staring into Master Qingwei’s.

Such words and gaze made Master Qingwei both shocked and angered.

She did have something to hide, and it seemed like Wei Yong might have known something.

This made her extremely unsettled, her mind in a mess.

But, having sat in the position of Temple Master of the Green Lotus Temple for so long, after a moment of panic, she soon stabilized her emotions.

Looking intently at Wei Yong, she said: "I misspoke earlier, I apologize to you, friend Wei."

After saying that, she then bowed.

Then continued: "However, as Ancestor Qingxiao has just sacrificed his life for the Tianling Region, if we were to let out information now that could tarnish the reputation of our sect, it would seem somewhat sacrilegious against the ancestor. I ask for your compassion, friend Wei, please be lenient!"

Seeing this, Wei Yong leisurely replied: "I would like to be lenient, but you, Master Qingwei, did not give me the opportunity to do so. You directly killed the criminal I had just captured. Now the criminal is dead, the case has come to a standstill, how do you expect me to report this to the higher-ups?"

No matter how much is said, it seems he is not willing to let the matter rest!

This suddenly made Master Qingwei feel extremely uncomfortable.

He couldn’t help but pace back and forth in the hall, appearing hesitant and indecisive.

Wei Yong did not urge him, merely calmly folding his arms, watching.

After a long while, Master Qingwei seemeduddenly to have come to an understanding about something, let out a long sigh, and muttered: "When Ancestor Qingxiao entrusted the position of Temple Master to me, he hoped I would integrate the Cultivators and resources of our sect, and make our sect stronger and more prosperous!"
