Suddenly, someone spoke up, "No matter how things are on Four Regulations Mountain today, this Luo Xian God needs to give Yunjin Mountain an explanation."
That person was dressed in a pale purple robe, and their status on Yunjin Mountain was definitely not low.
The other purple-robed Taoist also nodded.
"Um, the Yin-Yang Master Qin Wei Zi, with an unknown purpose in mind, commanded Luo Muye and his wife, repeatedly attacking my Taoist graveyard with ruthless force. They don't steal many items; they only harm the remains. This matter is absolutely not something that can be ignored!"
Below, the other Taoist priests from the other temples looked at me with eyes that did not change, filled with a killing intent.
Both sides were instantly divided into two factions.
Four Regulations Mountain is waiting for my answer.
And the other temples, regardless of the answer, will not make my situation better!
My pupils gradually turn red, and the torment within me gradually intensifies.
He You Tian's gaze never wavered from me.
While asking questions, there is also a hint of care.
The torturing emotion is intense to the extreme.
With just one sentence, I can wipe out all the efforts made by Wu Ling.
But that means I still have to deceive He You Tian.
This incident is just the beginning for Wu Ling, and from today on, there will inevitably be countless people, even many from Four Regulations Mountain, who will focus on investigating me.
Deception is no longer possible.
It's only a temporary solution, not a lifelong one.
More importantly, He You Tian now trusts me so much. Can I continue to maintain this lie?
One after another, endlessly?
And once I do that, He You Tian will definitely die to protect me.
The hatred from the other temples towards me will definitely be taken over by Four Regulations Mountain.
This is even more terrifying than the internal turmoil within Four Regulations Mountain, it's a combination of internal and external troubles!
Even more, what happened today will certainly be heard by the ears of Tianshou Temple. Tianshou Daoist will definitely pursue me!
Eighteen temples have not yet eliminated Tianshou Temple, and Four Regulations Mountain will face great danger!
I slowly lower my head, my fists clenched tightly.
Blood oozes from the corner of my mouth, ticking like a clock.
Raising my head again, I look at He You Tian with a pale face.
"Sssh! Old He, look at this! Look at how they have wronged our master! It's heart-wrenching!" Old Gong let out a shrill scream.
At the same time, Old Gong's face changed, showing a mixture of fear and uncertainty.
"Big Brother Master."
"Luo Xian has already made Four Regulations Mountain his home."
My tone carries a hint of difficulty.
He You Tian's lips curl into a smile.
"Four Regulations Mountain is your home!"
His tone is much more serious.
"Bring that Wu Ling to me…"
"Thud!"
I fall to my knees heavily, the pain piercing my heart. I bow three times with my hands on the ground.
Three times, the sound is crystal clear.
"Big Brother, I haven't answered your question yet," I say, my voice cracking.
"Why haven't you answered? If Four Regulations Mountain is your home, then you are naturally a person of Four Regulations Mountain. Whether alive or dead, no one can pull you out of your home!"
"Little brother, you've said enough today!"
"You will be silent! I will end this dispute right now!"
He You Tian's voice is even heavier, with a tone of admonishment as an elder!
I lift my head, but I shake it.
"There are some things that must be said. Today, the most talkative was Big Brother, followed by Sun Zhuo, who kept on arguing, and then Zheng Ren."
"I feel like an observer, watching things happen step by step, and gradually achieving the results I want."
"In these years, few people have been kind to me. Some have died, and some have left. Big Brother Master is both a mentor and a father to me. Luo Xian does not want to deceive you, which has been keeping Luo Xian up at night."
"Therefore, I hope Big Brother Master will give me your blessing!"
I bow three times again, and I can feel the heat flowing down from my forehead.
It's blood.
The blood seeps into my eyes, making my vision turn a deep red.
"Ghost Director was right, Master... you're sick!" Old Gong suddenly jumps, landing on my shoulder.
He You Tian's face changes color again.
I look up again, my eyes becoming particularly resolute and decisive.
"When I was nine years old, they took everything away from me, including my family's wealth and my Yang Sheng Life Force. Master Brother knows only part of that."
"I survived with incredible difficulty through a stroke of luck. Old Qin gave me an overworld life, allowing me to learn some nine-stream arts."
"He said that Xu Nuan could help me regenerate a trace of my Yang Sheng Life Force. However, Xu Nuan was possessed by Sun Zhuo, and thus Sun Zhuo had two fates."
"I used all my means to finally take back one life from Sun Zhuo, which is my own life."
"He was rescued from the Guikan people and later saved from their hands by Mingjing True Man, who took him back to Four Regulations Mountain to recuperate."
"Mao San helped me regain my destiny and passed on the Four Regulations Mountain heritage to me."
"I stepped onto Four Regulations Mountain step by step, not for any calculations, but only for Sun Zhuo. It was to fulfill the wish of the late Four Regulations Zhenren. It was to clean up Four Regulations Mountain. He did not fall into Mao San's trap, but instead tricked Mao San into doing what he had to do to clean up Four Regulations Mountain. This is a deal. Mao San is a businessman, he will not break his promise."
"I am indeed not a young uncle of Four Regulations Mountain, nor am I the little brother of the elders."
"This is something that Luo Xian has been holding in his heart for a long time, and he has always wanted to lay it all out for Big Brother Master. Because lies can make a person gradually lose themselves. At first, perhaps you only want to conceal one thing, but by the end, it might be a hundred, a thousand lies, countless things that have been concealed."
"I don't know what his true intentions are for Wu Ling."
"Luo Xian is not a man who speaks of righteousness and morality while his heart is filled with selfish desires. In Luo Xian's eyes, you are still the Big Brother Master."
"Luo Xian was young and unaware of what my parents did. When I found out, they had left me for more than ten years. However, it is only natural that the son repays the father's debts."
"Four Regulations Mountain should not become enemies with other temples because of the mistakes of my parents."
"Luo Xian cannot drag Master Brother down for his own selfish desires."
He slowly stands up.
The field is already silent and still.
Plip plip, it started to rain.
The large raindrops made the quiet night have noise.
I look around again and my face is stern.
"All of the affairs of the Luo family are undertaken by Luo Xian. Whether it's Yunjin Mountain, Juqu Mountain, or any other Daoist Temple, if they want to take Luo to leave, Luo will not resist."
"This has nothing to do with my Big Brother Master or Four Regulations Mountain! Please, do not take it out on others!"
Bang!
A thunderous boom echoed again!
A streak of lightning cut through the night sky, momentarily turning the darkness into daylight.
The bodies of Four Regulations Zhenren, Zheng Ren, and Sun Zhuo seem to have different states.
He You Tian's face turned a ghostly white.
At this moment, a purple-robed Daoist spoke in a deep voice, "Hmph, since that's the case, Sun Zhuo has ordered me from Juqu Mountain to take you away. Once the investigation is complete, Juqu Mountain will inform everyone of the results."
"Ma Yan, you dare!"
The four words from He You Tian instantly turned the atmosphere into one of tension, as if everyone were holding their breath.
