Xu Hexuan's voice was cold, stern, and filled with authority. His wise and sharp gaze swept across all the cultivators present. Sensing Xu Hexuan's gaze, everyone averted their eyes and lowered their heads. Xu Elder still commanded absolute respect among them. His words carried great weight, and they wouldn't dare offend him.
After noticing the expressions of the crowd, Xu Hexuan's gaze finally settled on Baili Hongzhuang and Chu Yingfei. Although he had only briefly interacted with Baili Hongzhuang before, judging from her attitude, he held a favorable impression of her.
However, trouble had arisen in such a short span of time. Nevertheless, Xu Hexuan also had some understanding of Chu Yingfei. There had been conflicts with Chu Yingfei in the past among the cultivators, and now that another conflict had arisen, he needed to ascertain the true situation before making a decision.
"You say that Baili Hongzhuang wants to kill you?" Xu Hexuan looked at Chu Yingfei with a face that exuded both perplexity and astonishment.
Chu Yingfei nodded repeatedly, her gaze filled with resentment as she glanced at Baili Hongzhuang. The nervousness in her eyes had turned into a sense of triumph and recklessness. However, when she turned her head to look at Xu Hexuan, her expression immediately changed to one of helplessness and panic.
"Yes, Elder Xu. This Baili Hongzhuang is truly arrogant. Clearly, she's not a disciple of our Wujin Palace, yet her actions and demeanor are extremely domineering. She even intends to kill me within the Wujin Palace. It's truly outrageous."
Listening to Chu Yingfei's words, Xu Hexuan's brow furrowed even tighter.
"I'm asking you what exactly happened. If there hasn't been any incident, how could Baili Hongzhuang want to kill you for no reason?" Xu Elder spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yingfei's complexion grew unsightly. According to Chu Yingfei's thinking, Xu Hexuan, as an elder of the Wujin Palace, would surely take her side when faced with this matter.
But now that Xu Hexuan was inquiring about the whole situation, she didn't know how to answer...
With so many cultivators present, she was uncertain whether they would stand on her side or on Baili Hongzhuang's side.
If the situation she described contradicted what the other cultivators said, then her standing in Xu Elder's eyes would undoubtedly be diminished.
Observing Chu Yingfei's hesitant appearance, Xu Hexuan gradually gained insight. It seemed that this matter was not as simple as it appeared.
The disciples around them fell into silence after encountering such a situation. However, no one chose to leave because they all wanted to know how Xu Elder would handle this matter.
Seeing Chu Yingfei remain silent for a while, Xu Hexuan shifted his gaze to Baili Hongzhuang and said, "You, tell me, what happened?"
Upon hearing Xu Hexuan's question, Baili Hongzhuang pondered for a moment and decided to disclose everything that had happened earlier to Xu Hexuan. Master had not revealed her identity to Xu Elder, and she presumed that Xu Elder's thoughts were the same as those of the other core disciples.
In their eyes, she was just a disciple of Tian Gang Zong. Although they didn't know the reason behind her presence in Wujin Palace this time, they could guess it was for exchange purposes. Therefore, she couldn't predict how Xu Elder would handle this matter.
