Chapter 847 Distorting the Truth (2/2)

They were obviously distorting the truth.

“Other people of the Wind Pavilion were also with me,” Zhou Yuan explained.

“They are also suspects. How can their words be reliable?”

Chi Jing shook her head. “If Fang Ao and his people had gone to kill Zhou Yuan, then Zhu Lian is also a suspect. His words are also unreliable.”

Zhou Yuan frowned. Sect master Xuan Kun was indeed very cunning. If Chi Jing wasn’t there to support him fully, he really might have been forced to take the blame.

“Therefore this matter is a bit troublesome. After all, there isn’t any proof,” sect master Xuan Kun said with a smile.

Both Chi Jing and Zhou Yuan understood that the old man was deliberately messing things up so that no one could severely punish Xi Guang for what he had done.

It annoyed Zhou Yuan a little. After all, Xi Guang had almost killed him. If Xi Guang was only reprimanded and let off, it would be really unfair. Zhou Yuan was not the type of person who would let things go just like that.

Furthermore, the way the other side tried to distort the truth made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He was silent for a moment and then said, “What if I have evidence?”

Xuan Kun was silent for a moment and then stared at Zhou Yuan, asking, “What evidence?”

Zhou Yuan faintly smiled. “In fact, not everybody in Fang Ao’s group died. I captured one of the remaining members, but to be safe I didn’t bring him back to the Tianyuan Region.”

Zhu Lian’s expression changed dramatically.

Hall master Xi Quang also quivered inwardly and then shot an angry look at Zhu Lian. Didn’t this guy say everyone was dead?

Zhou Yuan turned to Zhu Lian with a smile “Since we don’t know who is telling the truth, I suggest that we directly search the Spirits of deputy pavilion master Zhu Lian and the person I captured. Given the powers of the grand elders, I believe you can find the information you want without injuring them too much.”

Zhu Lian paled.

Hall master Xi Guang’s expression also changed.

Sect master Xuan Kun was silent for a good while before he uttered, “If you have evidence, why did you only say so now?”

“Because I like to be kind to people, but if forced, I have no choice but to take action. I hope you will get some unexpected information from this.”

He looked at Chi Jing and sect master Xuan Kun. “Do you want to search their Spirits? If you do, I can tell people to bring that person over.”

“Yes,” Chi Jing said unhesitantly.

Sect master Xuan Kun carefully studied the look on Zhou Yuan’s face because even he was a little unsure whether Zhou Yuan’s words were true or false. But if Zhou Yuan really were to hand the person over and ask Chi Jing to search his Spirit, everything would be exposed.

And at that time, it would even affect Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao was the master of the Fire Pavilion and was expected to compete for the position of chief pavilion master. Xuan Kun had no intention of letting him fall here.

So, should he bet whether there was anyone in Zhou Yuan’s hands or not?

Facing sect master Xuan Kun’s terrifying gaze, Zhou Yuan was surprisingly calm. He inwardly cursed, If we were to compare ident.i.ty and status, then I’m on an equal footing with you! You think you can scare me!?

Sect master Xuan Kun was silent for a good while before he expressionlessly withdrew his gaze. An indifferent voice sounded.

“This matter was done by Fang Ao alone and has nothing to do with other people.”
