1503 Who Slapped Who On The Face? (1/2)
It was as though he had landed using Lingbo Weibu (a very complex type of Qing Gong). His robe fluttered in the wind. He did not fly down from the sky but instead walked down step by step in the air.
His movements made it look as though he was stepping on solid ground in the air even though there was nothing underneath his feet. It was like he was descending a flight of staircase.
His posture and Kung Fu made everyone's eyes opened wide as they held their breath. If anyone still doubted Celestial Master Zuo's identity and suspected that he was an imposter from the Tianju Association, their doubts should have been cleared after witnessing his Kung Fu.
It was because only an expert with a spiritual power of level ten and above could perform this kind of Kung Fu! Furthermore, even the highest-ranking experts in the Tianju Association had not achieved such a high level of spiritual power!
He landed on the tower while the people who showed up with him landed by his side. Meanwhile, the airship disappeared as soon as all of them had landed. It was as though it was never there from the beginning.
The ambiance at the square was somewhat strange as two Celestial Master Zuo's stood facing each other. As their body figures looked similar, no one would be able to recognize them once they started fighting. However, one of them was wearing a mask while the other had revealed his real appearance.
It was a rare sight. Perhaps, one might not be able to see it even in a thousand years. The crowd looked at one of them and then shifted their attention to the other.
”Greetings, Celestial Master Zuo!” Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and everyone knelt to the ground.
It seemed that this man was acting as a leader to the crowd. The citizens immediately knelt after a short pause. ”Greetings, Celestial Master Zuo!”
The sound of their greetings was loud enough to shake a mountain.
The fake Celestial Master Zuo and his people were familiar with this scene. Eight years ago, all of the citizens used to greet and cheer for Celestial Master Zuo this way. Furthermore, they did it willingly.
Di Fuyi gazed across the audience as he nodded. ”My fellow citizens, you've had enough bad days. The main objective of my return is to seek justice for all of you as well as to restore peace to this world!”
Though his voice was not loud, he almost made the audience cry! They have suffered and endured this unfairness for far too long. All this time, the citizens had been looking forward to the restoration of peace to their continent!
Even the royal army and imperial officials looked at each other when they listened to Di Fuyi. The imperial officials and the royal army were smart and observant. Finally, they understood the truth. Even though they were caught by surprise, they quickly bowed to greet Di Fuyi.
It was only at this moment that the four messengers came forward to greet him. ”My Lord, you're finally here!”
They could finally straighten their backs after having to pretend for such a long time under the fake Celestial Master Zuo's supervision.
Two parties were formed on the stage. One party was led by Di Fuyi as their leader, while the other party was led by the Fairy Queen Li and counterfeit Celestial Master Zuo.
There was no reason for the fake Celestial Master Zuo to conceal his identity any longer, especially since the real one had shown up.
Di Fuyi had many experts in his team while the fake Celestial Master Zuo only had the Death Knights as all the other people had joined Di Fuyi's ally!
Di Fuyi's gaze finally fell on the fake Celestial Master Zuo. ”Seriously, who are you exactly?! Do you know that it's a severe offense to disguise yourself as me!?”
The fake Celestial Master Zuo's face turned pale under his mask. However, he was a real man as he did not seem to panic at all. He smiled evilly. ”Di Fuyi, it is a surprise that you're still alive and decided to show up at this time. How could you accuse me of disguising as you? Celestial Master Zuo is an official title for a mage, so why should I be excluded from receiving this title if you consider yourself to be worthy of it? You don't deserve this title since you couldn't even reunite the continent though you've been carrying this title for so long! Certainly, it's time for a change! I didn't disguise myself as you just so that I could be honored with this title by The Lord!”
He was twisting the truths. However, he was not completely wrong. Celestial Master Zuo was indeed just a position. However, since Di Fuyi had been carrying this position for a long time, there was a tendency to think about him whenever someone mentioned 'Celestial Master Zuo'. Unfortunately, many of the people around did not think about it that way!
Initially, some were still doubtful as they did not believe he was a fake. However, he had indirectly exposed his fake identity when he mentioned this sentence out loud and clear!
The crowd was seriously pissed now! Finally, they realized that they had been exploited by an imposter all these years! They had been fooled unknowingly for such a long time!
Therefore, the people who were standing at the center and were uncertain who they wanted to side with began to move towards Di Fuyi slowly. Eventually, Di Fuyi's ally grew larger as more people had joined them now!
Of course, the Death Knights were excluded. They remained stationary as they continued to observe the people on the stage of the tower. It was as if they were made from iron!
Meanwhile, Fairy Queen Li was cursing silently with a frown.
'The fake Celestial Master Zuo was indeed useless!'
Di Fuyi glimpsed at his attire with a smile. ”That makes sense in a way. Anyway, why did you put on the same attire as me if you're not planning to impersonate me? You manipulated my four custodians using magic so that they would work for you and you even caused so much disaster to the people using my name! How are you going to explain all these offenses?”
The fake Celestial Master Zuo grunted. ”I'll wear whatever I like. Why should others avoid wearing the same attire as you just because you wore it first?! Meanwhile, your four custodians decided to be my followers willingly! Since when did I manipulate them with magic?”
Mu Feng and the other messengers ran out of words.
'What the f*ck!?' They were speechless!
Di Fuyi smiled. ”It seems like slander is the only thing you know since you don't even have the guts to reveal your actual appearance. Mu Feng, kindly tell everyone briefly about how he cast a spell on you!”
Mu Feng immediately stepped forward and began to relate the entire story from the time when they were first put under his spell two years ago.
The people grabbed their fists when they finally found out the truth behind the four messengers submitting themselves to the imposter. Of course, Mu Feng also mentioned that it was Gu Xijiu who had made the antidotes to save their lives.
Though the crowd did not show any obvious response, Gu Xietian's eyes sparkled! He immediately looked at Mu Feng. ”Do you mean… Xijiu. She's alive?!” That was the first time he had heard about his daughter for over eight years. Hence, he got a little stammered and was overexcited about the news.
Mu Feng slightly nodded. ”She was the one who made the antidote for us. She has been working on her spiritual power with Celestial Master Zuo over the past eight years. Certainly, she is alive, especially since Celestial Master Zuo is here now,” said Mu Feng.
Gu Xietian immediately shifted his gaze to Di Fuyi. ”Celestial Master Zuo, is this... real? How is she doing? Where is she now?”
Di Fuyi's eyes flashed. ”Don't worry, General Gu. She's safe and well. You'll get to see her soon.”
Gu Xietian heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that his daughter was alive and well. She seemed to have learned something powerful! He could finally be at peace! Although he was tied up embarrassingly with rotten eggs and food waste on his face, his eyes were sparkling.
Di Fuyi took a glimpse at him again and flicked his sleeve. The heavy chains on Gu Xietien were immediately crushed into ashes. He tried getting up after sweeping the ashes from his body. However, he knelt onto the ground again right in front of the green-clothed man as his legs had gone numb from kneeling on the ground for too long.
The man felt uncomfortable. His gaze was dim, but he still lifted Gu Xietian.
”Thank you, young master.” Gu Xietian thanked him.
The green-clothed man sounded cold. ”It's alright.” When Gu Xietian had finally stabilized himself, the young man immediately let go of his hands and took a step back. He did not want to be close to Gu Xietian.
Gu Xietian could not help but glance at the green-clothed man. ”May I know your name?”
Unfortunately, the green-clothed man did not bother to answer him. Instead, he turned around and began talking to his companion.
