Immortal's Revenge

Chapter 13: The Trial of Celestial Purity

Beneath the grand council Hall of White Eagle Sect, an ancient formation hummed with power. The Trial of Celestial Purity was about to begin.

Tianming stood at its center, his expression calm. He knew this was Mu Qingfeng's trap. If the sect's elders declared his soul tainted, he would be detained with ancient magic—or worse.

But if they thought he would just sit back and accept their judgment, they had underestimated him.

Elder Yan raised his hand. The formation's light flared, golden threads weaving through the air, forming an ethereal mirror.

"Li Tianming," Elder Yan's voice echoed, "the Mirror of Celestial Purity will reflect the truth of your soul. If you have committed evil, the mirror will reveal it."

Mu Qingfeng smirked. He had bribed one of the formation elders. The mirror would be biased against Tianming.

But Tianming merely smiled. He had his own plans.

As Tianming stepped forward, the mirror's surface rippled.

For a moment, nothing happened. The disciples watching grew restless.

First, a scene of Tianming fighting the assassins sent after him. Blood stained the ground. Gasps rang through the crowd.

Mu Qingfeng's smirk widened. "There! Proof of his violence!"

A new vision formed: Mu Qingfeng speaking in secret with the assassins.

The audience froze. The very mirror meant to condemn Tianming was revealing Mu Qingfeng's treachery!

Elder Yan's expression darkened. "Mu Qingfeng, do you deny this?"

Mu Qingfeng gritted his teeth. "It—it's a lie! The mirror must be broken!"

Tianming chuckled. "Funny. You seemed to trust the mirror a moment ago."

Jiang Chen, standing at the side, smirked. "Looks like the heavens have their own sense of humor."

The disciples whispered. Doubt turned toward Mu Qingfeng, who was the son of one of the most honoured family in the Crimson Dragon Dect.

Mu Qingfeng clenched his fists. He had lost control of the situation. He needed to act now.

A sudden explosion shook the hall. A black-robed figure burst through the ceiling, masked and wreathed in demonic energy.

Tianming's eyes narrowed. "Demonic cultivators?"

The intruder lunged for the mirror. If it was destroyed, all evidence against Mu Qingfeng would be lost.

Tianming moved first. He wouldn't let the truth be erased.

Sword light flashed. Battle erupted.
