I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

Hearing Li Yifeng's heavy and resolute words, He Tianhong's body seemed to be hit suddenly by an invisible force. He staggered back two steps involuntarily. Each step was extremely heavy, as if the ground under his feet had lost its former solidity.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, his eyes were filled with disbelief and deep pain, and his steps became weak and powerless, as if he would fall down at any time.

"No...impossible!"

He murmured softly, his voice trembling slightly, as if he was making a final struggle against the fear deep in his heart.

"Lian'er, my innocent, kind, well-behaved and sensible sister, how could she...how could she embark on the path of becoming a demon?"

He Tianhong's eyes were wide open, with a mixture of anger and despair flashing in his gaze. He stared at Li Yifeng, as if trying to find a hint of lies in the other's eyes, but all he got was determination and helplessness.

He turned around abruptly and shouted at the crowd around him, "You are lying! These people, these innocent lives, were definitely not killed by Lian'er! She couldn't bear to hurt even a small animal, how could she be so cruel? You must have made a mistake, someone must have deliberately framed her!"

His voice echoed in the empty air, carrying with it endless sadness and unwillingness.

He Tianhong's heart seemed to be cut repeatedly by a sharp knife, and every beat was accompanied by severe pain.

He could not accept this cruel fact, and was even more unwilling to believe that the sister who had always relied on and admired him would suddenly become a demon that everyone feared.

Tears welled up in his eyes, but he forced them back. He clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and dug his nails deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.

Li Yifeng's face was as gloomy as cold water, his eyes were as sharp as torches, staring directly into He Tianhong's eyes that were full of shock and struggle, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.

"Brother He, the evidence before us is clear and unmistakable. Every clue points to the same fact. What else can you quibble about? I personally witnessed He Lian'er's figure in the night. That familiar outline and behavior could never be impersonated by anyone else. And as for these spells..."

He paused, and the talisman in his hand seemed to carry a thousand-ton weight, slowly enlarging in front of He Tianhong's eyes. The remaining marks on it were still eye-catching at this time, like a silent accusation.

"The marks on these talismans are unique and delicate. They are your unique marks, He Tianhong. I once heard Senior Sister Yan mention that you have a great talent and passion for the art of talismans. Whenever you create a new talisman or think you have reached perfection, you always leave such a unique mark on it to show your difference and pride."

As Li Yifeng spoke, the talisman in his hand shook gently, and the familiar mark on it pierced He Tianhong's eyes like a needle. He locked his eyes tightly on the mark, and the complex emotions in his eyes surged like a tide.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch it but not daring to, as if the talisman was carrying a weight that he could not bear.

He remembered that he had drawn these talismans himself, and every stroke was filled with his love and expectations for his sister He Lian'er.

He had wanted to use the power of these spells to protect her on her path of cultivation, but he had never expected that these spells, which originally symbolized protection and blessings, would one day become a weapon for her to harm her fellow disciples.

"This... This is the talisman I gave to Lian'er..." He Tianhong's voice was hoarse and low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat with difficulty. "I wanted to protect her and let her take fewer detours on the road of cultivation, but I didn't expect..."

His eyes were filled with regret and self-blame, as if he saw himself pushing his sister into the abyss. Those spells, originally a symbol of his love and care for his sister, now became evidence to accuse her of a crime.

At this time, Li Yifeng seemed to feel that this blow was not enough, and continued: "Brother He, don't you notice the difference in this talisman?"

Hearing this, not only He Tianhong was stunned, but the other elders and sect leaders present also looked at him.

"Yifeng, what do you mean by this?"

Li Yifeng shook a corner of the talisman in his hand and said, "There is a trace of demonic energy left on this talisman, and it is very pure."

As soon as these words were spoken, a storm of shock immediately arose in the hearts of the sect master and several elders.

What does pure demonic energy mean?

Ordinary spiritual world monks and disciples didn't understand, but the elders all knew that it meant that the person who made the move had been possessed by the devil for a long time, and his cultivation had already exceeded their expectations.

He Tianhong's heart seemed to be weighed down by a huge rock at this moment, and every breath was accompanied by a tearing pain.

He could not accept this cruel reality, and was even more unwilling to believe that the sister who had always been pure and innocent in his heart would take such an extreme path.

Seeing that He Tianhong almost fell to the ground, Li Yifeng hurried over to support him, "Senior Brother He, I understand your shock and pain, but the facts are in front of us and we cannot ignore them." Although his voice was cold, it also revealed a hint of sympathy and helplessness.

"What we need to do now is to find He Lian'er as soon as possible, understand why she made such a choice, and stop her from making further mistakes. At the same time, we must also seek justice for those fellow disciples who were innocently victimized."

Hearing this, a hint of determination flashed in He Tianhong's eyes.

He understood that no matter how hard it was to accept, he had to face this reality and shoulder his responsibilities as an elder brother and fellow disciple.

He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the pain and confusion into his heart. When he raised his head again, his eyes shone with determination: "Tell me where He Lian'er is? I want to find her in person and ask her in person why she did this."

Li Yifeng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Before I came here, I only dared to follow her from a distance. I saw with my own eyes that she walked into the dense forest on the back mountain outside the town. As for the specific location..."

Before he could finish his words, He Tianhong had already swung his clothes and strode out of the hall.

Sect leader Hong Yunhui was about to call him, but He Tianhong moved too quickly and ran far away before he could finish his words.

Sect Master Hong sighed and said to the elders around him, "Please inform the disciples as soon as possible not to act alone recently. If you find anyone suspicious, inform the sect immediately. Do not act rashly."

"Also, inform Sect Master Yuan and Miss Rong, and ask them to be careful and stay safe recently."

At this time, an elder came up and asked in confusion: "I heard that He Rong'er is He Lian'er's biological sister. Could she harm her own family?"

Sect Leader Hong shook his head: "It's hard to tell what a possessed person is thinking."
