After a few seconds of silence, the elders of Yunjin Mountain and Jujus Mountain, as well as Liu Zhenqi, Liu Yujie and others, nodded one after another.
In their eyes, there was an unexceptionable trace of reverence.
Equally, there was no lack of vigilance.
The vigilance is directed at Sun Zhuo's matter, and I'm sure everyone will cleanse their temples once they return to their respective mountains.
Reverence refers to Zhang Ren.
The way He You Tians did it refreshed my perception twice.
Firstly, it was his use of Jiang Kuang instead of Qin Yi to incriminate Sun Zhuo.
As for Huahong, it should be the arrangement of Huaxing.
Unexpectedly, she chose this moment to deliver a lethal blow to Sun Zhuo.
Huahong knows my secret, but Huaxing should have resolved this issue; otherwise, she wouldn't have let the soul spirit out.
Secondly, it was He You Tians' way of saving Zhang Ren's face...
Zhang Ren's behavior aligns with my previous way of thinking, that when people know they must die, they may gain enlightenment at the very moment of death and brave their fate head-on.
It's not like Sun Zhuo, who was struggling and counterattacking right up until his death.
Of course, this may be related to the method of death.
Sun Zhuo will die in an unsightly manner no matter what.
He You Tians offers Zhang Ren two choices.
Dignified death, or death in chaos and disorder in four standard mountains.
When He You Tian took out that copper pipe, it was equivalent to threatening Zhang Ren and using the same method on him...
The thoughts are very disorganized.
However, my mind, body, and spirit have all relaxed unprecedentedly!
Taking a deep breath to dispel all distractions.
I am preparing to go up to the fighting platform.
Without Sun Zhuo, the succeeding ceremony, and with four standard mountain disciples challenging, it's me they have to face!
Everything is going as planned, according to He You Tians expectation and also according to Mao Sanjian's calculation!
But at this moment, someone slowly climbed onto the platform from the spot where Jiang Kuang had been earlier.
In fact, he is very agile, but that agility is only for ordinary people. Even his hands and feet are not as skilled as Jiang Kuang's.
The moonlight is cold, casting its glow on his face. His sincere features exude a sense of determination and resolve.
My expression changed drastically!
"Wait a minute, before that, I have something to say!"
The man's voice was coarse and somewhat clear!
His words were identical to those spoken by He You Tians to Zhang Ren earlier.
On the fighting platform, Si Yan is still there, Qin Yi is still crying, and Huahong's soul spirit stands motionless there, as if the death of Sun Zhuo has released her from her fetters and she doesn't know what to do next.
At this time, Si Yan's gaze turned towards Wuling.
"Who are you?"
Si Yan's tone is cold, and she doesn't recognize Wu Ling.
At this time, another person came onto the platform from the side, it was Xiang Ke, panting and saying: "Si Yan sister, he is a walker from four standard mountain below, a friend of my little uncle!"
"According to Wu Ling, there is something important he needs to say to his uncle, so I brought him in."
Then, Xiang Ke turned to Wu Ling and shouted: "Wu Ling, hurry and come down with me. My uncle is on the stage, and this platform is not for outsiders to climb!"
Xiang Ke's tone was full of urgency and tension.
The expressions of some elders on the stage began to look unpleasant, and there was a hint of anger.
Xiang Ke is going to escape punishment!
My eyelids are constantly jumping violently, and sweat beads are sliding down my forehead, penetrating into my eye sockets, causing a sharp and bitter pain.
"I am not an outsider!"
After taking a deep breath, Wu Ling's voice became exceptionally clear, and the ruggedness disappeared, as if the ruggedness was just his usual disguise.
"My father, Bai Yu, is the second elder's disciple, and my mother, Wu Jie, comes from the seventh elder's door."
"I, although not a Taoist of Four Rules Mountain now, am still a descendant of Four Rules Mountain! The Bai lineage of Four Rules Mountain!"
The expressions of the elders changed drastically, without exception!
Even He You Tian was shocked and pale.
Numerous elders were about to leave the stage and head for the platform!
Before Wu Ling could finish his sentence, he spoke with certainty: "In the early years, my parents died in an accident outside, and my master is Mao Sanjian!"
This statement caused everyone in the scene to change their expressions again instantly!
Wu Ling's identity is already quite extraordinary.
I didn't know at all before that he is a descendant of the Bai lineage of Four Rules Mountain.
He directly stated that he is a disciple of Mao Sanjian.
Mao Sanjian is a hunter!
It naturally made Four Standard Mountain suspicious.
He You Tian's gaze became extremely scrutinizing, and the expressions of the other elders were similar.
"Mao Sanjian has always kept me under the care of Four Rules Mountain and hidden from me the information about my father and mother. However, as the saying goes, no effort is wasted on a thoughtful person. I have always managed to uncover the truth and know that I am a legitimate disciple of Four Rules Mountain!"
"Regarding him, who said he was my master, in fact, he only taught me the surface knowledge of yin and yang arts. He constantly told me that one day, he would find a way to send me to Four Rules Mountain!"
"I believed him!"
"I have been waiting for him for three years, ten years, twenty years!"
"I waited from childhood to now, thirty-something years old."
"I have waited for something related to Four Rules Mountain, for Luo Xian Shen to ascend the mountain! Yes, it was Mao Sanjian who instructed me to set up a plan so that Luo Xian Shen encountered Wang Shi and then encountered Xiang Ke, allowing Luo Xian Shen to have an opportunity to enter Four Rules Mountain!"
"The Four Rules Realm is not the master of Luo Xian Shen!"
"He was captured and passed down by Mao Sanjian, and further lost in Mao Sanjian's hands. Luo Xian Shen thus learned the transmission!"
"Originally, Luo Xian Shen should have dealt with Sun Zhuo, completed the transaction with Mao Sanjian, and then left Four Rules Mountain. That's all I knew, but in fact, Luo Xian Shen lost his true nature; he became obsessed!"
"He is not a Taoist at all; he only stole the transmission and thinks that he is actually the little uncle of Four Rules Mountain and the little brother of numerous elders!"
"I have finally seen through Mao Sanjian's intentions, and he is trying to gain control of the entire Four Rules Mountain!"
"Mao Sanjian is the greatest change in Four Rules Mountain, and Luo Xian Shen is the external evil of Four Rules Mountain!"
"Since I learned all this, I can't sleep at night. Mao Sanjian has nurtured me, and betraying him would be like an unfilial son. But if it harms Four Rules Mountain, it would be disrespectful to my parents who are now in the heavens! It would be disrespectful to my White family's ancestors and descendants!"
"And the most important point is that if Luo Xian Shen really dedicates himself to studying Daoism, that would be fine. But he simply cannot become a Taoist!"
"More than twenty years ago, there was a Luo family in Jin Yang, led by Luo Mu Ye, and his wife Gu Jing. They led dozens of experts from the Hun court to dig graves everywhere!"
"At least dozens of graves in big and small Daoist temples across the world were visited by them!"
"My parents died because we ran into them digging up graves, and we were killed in an attack by people from the Hun court!"
Wu Ling's tone becomes more and more passionate, with a touch of unwillingness and anger!
"Mao Sanjian is a hunter of Daoism. The Luo family, which specializes in digging up the graves of Daoists, and the mastermind behind them is Qin Wei Zi, who is also Luo Xian Shen's master!"
"If I ignore this, heaven will forsake me!"
"Gentlemen elders, please clarify right from wrong! Gentlemen elders of the Daoist temples, please carefully reflect and think back whether your temples have suffered harm from the Luo family's digging up of graves!"
Word by word, sentence by sentence, like sharp arrows.
I felt an icy chill run down my spine. Even though I was standing firmly on the ground, it felt as if everything had been drained from me, so desolate!
