Chapter 1786 – Exposing the Plo (2/2)
“Jiang Chen, so where’s this great traitor now?” Fenghua Zi asked interestedly.
“Sect Master, don’t listen to the nonsense of this man. In my opinion, let’s kill him straightaway for breaking into our sect.”
Shen Ao spoke aloud, seemingly ready to attack Jiang Chen. He could already sense something from the words that Jiang Chen said and noticed the signals given by his son’s expression. It seemed like their secret was going to be exposed, and he knew very well what it meant.
“Elder Shen, why are you being so emotional? Didn’t you want to save your son just now? But now, after hearing what I said, you don’t seem to care about your son’s life anymore. Does it mean that Elder Shen is the great traitor?” Jiang Chen looked over at Shen Ao and spoke cynically.
“You, what are you talking about? I, Shen Ao, am devoted to Sect Master and I wouldn’t do anything against him.”
Shen Ao shouted, totally unaware that his reaction had already startled numerous people. Sometimes, it was very hard for someone with a guilty conscience to remain calm, even if the person was a mighty Immortal Venerable. Shen Ao’s response was no doubt a little out of the ordinary. The word ‘great traitor’ seemed to affect him very much.
Fenghua Zi wasn’t a fool. Only now did he sense that the matter wasn’t as simple as he had thought.
“Humph! Shen Ao, why are you so nervous if you didn’t do anything wrong?”
Jiang Chen harrumphed coldly and looked at Fenghua Zi once more. The right time has come and he didn’t want to waste any more time.
“Sect Master Feng, I, Jiang Chen, have come to Fengluo Sect today without a single ill intention. Although I have broken into your sect, I didn’t harm a single disciple. I have come mainly for Shen Ao, to avenge my father. Of course, if Sect Master doesn’t want to know about the conspiracy concerning Shen Ao, then I’ll drop this topic.” Jiang Chen’s voice rumbled like thunder.
For a moment, most of them were at a loss for words. What Jiang Chen said was right. Although he had broken into the sect, he hadn’t hurt a single one of them, and Shen Ao’s reaction was overly abnormal. Furthermore, no one would believe that a young early Immortal Emperor that had no grudges against Fengluo Sect would just break into the sect, disregarding his own life, just to insult the Great Elder, unless Jiang Chen was an idiot, but he doesn’t seem like one.
“Sect Master, I urge you to kill this man now. Don’t let him ruin the relationship between you and me,” Shen Ao spoke forcefully.
“What’s the matter, Elder Shen? If you are clean, you are. If we kill Jiang Chen now, no one will be able to prove whether you are really guilty or not. Why don’t we listen to what he has to say?”
Fenghua Zi glanced at Shen Ao, feeling complex emotions. Since Jiang Chen had already exposed a little of what he had to say, he must let Jiang Chen finish it. Otherwise, Shen Ao’s matter would leave an unpleasant feeling in everyone’s heart. This wasn’t what Fenghua Zi intended to see in the future.
