Once the wooden box was in his grasp, Elder Bai swallowed nervously, his fingers tightening around the edges as he stared at it in silence.
Despite the many protective arrays guarding the box, to Elder Bai, they were nothing but child's play—a minor inconvenience at best. After a moment of silence, he deactivated all of the arrays and opened the wooden box, revealing another object inside.
"A spatial ring?" he muttered with raised eyebrows.
He turned to look at Yuan and asked, "What is this? How is this evidence?"
"With all due respect, why don't you take a look inside that spatial ring first?" Yuan calmly responded.
"Hmph."
Elder Bai gave a cold snort before looking inside the spatial ring with his divine sense.
The moment his consciousness touched the contents inside, his expression froze.
"T-This is—?!"
His eyes widened in shock, and in the span of a breath, that shock twisted into horror. His face drained of color, his fingers trembling slightly as he pulled his divine sense away, as if he had been burned.
Seeing Elder Bai's reaction, Yuan narrowed his eyes and spoke, "I can assume that I've proven myself, right?"
"T-This doesn't prove anything! How do I know that this was truly done by my grandson?! For all I know, you could've planted this evidence here!"
Yuan sneered, "This is my first time entering this place, so how could I have planted the evidence?"
"Then how did you know about this evidence?!" Elder Bai roared.
If Yuan had never been to Bai Zhan's Immortal Cave, how did he know about the wooden box and Bai Zhan's spatial ring? This didn't make any sense to Elder Bai.
Yuan shrugged, "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."
"Try me!"
After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke with a smile, "I came from the future."
"Y-You what?" Elder Bai's eyes widened with disbelief at Yuan's outrageous and delusional claim.
"See? I told you that you wouldn't believe me." Yuan sighed as he shook his head.
"Anyway, I have already given you the proof that Bai Zhan was never a good guy. If you still don't believe me, there's nothing I can do but accept my death."
Elder Bai gritted his teeth in silence.
Eventually, he said, "I will spare you… at least until I finish my investigation, so don't think for a second that you're free yet." frёewebnoѵēl.com
"I understand."
"You are also prohibited from leaving the sect until then," Elder Bai added.
"I wouldn't be able to go anywhere even if I wanted to as an Outer Court disciple," Yuan shrugged.
Elder Bai glared at him before speaking in a commanding tone, "Get out of my sight."
