I had no idea that Wu Ling's parents would have such a past with my parents, and that they died in an ambush by high-level masters of the Huan Si!
A deep-seated grudge, yet Wu Ling managed to hold back after seeing me.
Not only did he endure, but he even followed what Mao Sanzui had said, gradually creating an opportunity for me to go up the mountain.
Only when Mao Sanzui's scale completely leaned towards me did Wu Ling reveal his true nature!
And his series of accusations against me now leave me completely unable to defend myself.
The inheritance is how it came, and what he said is true.
My parents' actions, as he said, are true.
The relationship between Mao Sanzui and the Four Regulations Master... it can't be entirely called a hunt, because Mao Sanzui was tricked. The Four Regulations Master was poisoned severely, and Mao Sanzui got nothing in return; on the contrary, he was outwitted by the Four Regulations Master.
Just this thing, who would believe it if it were said?
Wu Ling not only revealed the origin of my inheritance but also my parents' identity.
He has also ignited the flames of hatred!
In the first-row seat, the senior Taoist from Yunjinshan and Jucun Mountain stood up, and his gaze fell on me. His qi was completely locked onto me.
The people from various Daoist temples down there, including senior monks and supervisory Daoists, all stood up in surprise and anger, staring at me!
Even the disciples and senior monks from the Four Regulations Mountain looked at me with a mix of astonishment and suspicion. Some of them carried a look of shock and hatred as well.
"Little sect brother... is what he said true?"
The one who spoke was not He Youtian, but the Second Senior, of course, not Liu Yujie from Gucheng Liu family, but the Second Senior of the Four Regulations Mountain, who was once on He Youtian's side.
His gaze was sharp, like a knife, poised to dissect my innermost thoughts!
My face gradually turned pale.
The question from the Second Senior was not important, what mattered was He Youtian's gaze.
He Youtian's brows were tightly knit, and his entire face was tense. His emotions were extremely turbulent, yet there was nothing on his face but seriousness.
On the stage, Wu Ling pointed to the sky with his two fingers.
On the other side, Siyan's face was deathly pale, quivering uncontrollably.
Jiang Guang had been scared senseless, his legs trembling like chaff.
Lao Gong on my shoulder suddenly jumped and landed on top of my head.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"My father created a reputation for the Four Regulations Mountain, welcomed the true spirit, and cleared out evil spirits. How can a stranger who doesn't know where he came from stand here and accuse my father! Even drag him down from the Four Regulations Mountain?!"
"Old He! Was lightning strike Zheng Ren also struck you dumb?"
"My master's surname is Luo, and his name is Shengshen. He never changes his name or surname. Has he ever hidden his origins?"
"My parents passed away early, and when my master was nine years old, the Sun family took away everything from him. If it weren't for the Four Regulations Master, if it weren't for that old Qin head I've never met, let's add one more. Of course, Mao Sanzui hasn't done much to my master; he's just always wanted to hunt him and hunt that old Qin head."
"Up to this day, my master's skills are truly tested by gold and fire, worthy of any person and even more worthy of the Four Regulations Mountain!"
"If he is an external evil, then the old things on the mountain, wouldn't they have gone blind? How could they have heartedly guarded the Four Regulations Mountain for hundreds of years?"
"If he is an external evil, then today the Four Regulations Mountain might have two genuine master's artifacts?"
"Wu Ling little thief, I think, it's probably that Mao Sanzui agreed with you to hunt my master, and let you get the inheritance. You see him pursuing hopelessly, so he went up the mountain in a desperate attempt!"
Old Gong's voice was so loud it was almost shocking.
What he said was not the whole truth.
Wu Ling is confusing concepts, and Lao Gong even twists some things!
"Hmph, you say, heaven abandons you. Can you swear that everything you say is fabricated? Be struck by heaven and five thunder strikes! Oh, right, I have to add one more condition. If you learn the Dao of the Four Regulations Mountain and ascend it, are you a disciple of Mao Sanzui or a person of the Four Regulations Mountain?"
"Who knows if it's Mao Sanzui's idea to disrupt the Four Regulations Mountain at this moment!"
"If you act properly and behave honestly, then swear it!"
Boom...
Another rumble of thunder rolled through the sky.
On the stage, Wu Ling's eyes turned extremely cold. He squinted his eyes, staring in my direction, but in reality, he was looking at Lao Gong.
"Luoxianshen, can you swear it?"
"I spit on that!" Lao Gong spat a thick loogie.
Suddenly, the Daoists below rushed to step aside, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"Now you're playing games, too. You're afraid to swear first, and then you're playing serious with my father again. Swear first and then say it. If you don't swear, causing a mess in the Four Regulations Mountain's big plan, you should be killed!" Lao Gong spoke in an insidious tone.
For a moment, the faces of the people from the Four Regulations Mountain were filled with confusion.
No one is an idiot.
Yes, Wu Ling can say it, but can't Lao Gong?
His words alone, like Sun Zhuo's, would be a great mistake for anyone to believe.
Zheng Ren's corpse is still in front of everyone, and no one dares to make a decision.
The atmosphere in the scene became exceptionally tense.
"Little brother."
He Youtian suddenly spoke up.
The look he gave me carried a trace of depth.
The complexity on his face faded away, leaving behind only one emotion: inquiry.
Later, he said, "You, have you experienced the Heart-seeking Lightning Crest? The matriarch of the Wuyi Sect chose you. He is old and has no mistakes. He is the rule of the Four Regulations Mountain. If he descends from the mountain, he will be its law."
"Lao Gong's words are not spoken by you. Have you deceived the Four Regulations Mountain?"
"What Wu Ling has said is it all false? Have you been unjustly accused?"
"You can tell it to my brother."
"My brother will give you a satisfactory answer once his identity is confirmed. If he is indeed the orphaned descendant of Bai's lineage, he cannot be killed. However, punishment will not be spared. I will confine him in the Heart-seeking Lightning Crest for twenty years."
"If he is not, and he intends to disrupt the Four Regulations Mountain, I will personally execute him as a warning to others!"
He Youtian's statement calmed down the emotions of the people from the Four Regulations Mountain a considerable amount.
Even the Second Senior and the other elders looked at the stage with a hint of indifference.
After Zheng Ren's death, He Youtian became the backbone of the Four Regulations Mountain.
Lao Gong jumped up and landed on He Youtian's shoulder, his eyes smiling.
"I thought you'd be blinded by Zheng Ren's death. You're still steady, old head."
Then, Lao Gong kept winking and his expressions were extremely insistent.
On the stage below, Wu Ling's face changed, shock and horror took over, and his face turned pale.
As if he hadn't expected He Youtian to say this!
He seemed about to speak.
At this moment, Jiang Guang suddenly moved, his figure like a ghost, directly reached behind Wu Ling and tightly bound his throat with his hands!
Siyan then moved, fiercely waving his hand, and the whip pointed straight at Wu Ling!
Not only that, but a dense cloud of blood began to spread on the stage.
It's the Huamei family's blood-transforming firefly!
In an instant, Wu Ling's aura of great might from a moment ago had faded.
After all, he had learned more of the Yin-Yang techniques from Mao Sanzui. Apart from his bloodline, he had no real Daoist skills and could not dodge at all.
