Chapter 268
Tu Fang’s words caused all the Elders’ expressions to change, especially Elder Sun . Terror appeared in his eyes and he hastily hid himself in the crowd .
When he had been fighting that Corrupt Elder, he had intentionally faked that he wasn’t a match for him and had been forced back over and over, leading him towards Long Chen .
Then he had been ‘sent flying’ by a powerful blow and just happened to be become entangled with another Corrupt Elder .
On the chaotic battlefield, he had thought that his actions had been completely perfectly without anyone noticing . He hadn’t expected anyone to suspect anything .
However, Elder Sun naturally wouldn’t admit to it now . If Tu Fang was just guessing and using scare tactics, then if he admit his crime, he really would be an idiot .
In any case, he didn’t believe that anyone had any proof that he had purposely drew that Corrupt Elder over . So he acted as if he didn’t know what he was talking about .
“Elder Sun, do you not have anything to say?” Tu Fang icily glared at Elder Sun, killing intent surfacing within his eyes .
Although Tu Fang had been fighting all-out against Gui Yan, both of them had known that it would be impossible for them to kill the other . They had been keeping watch over the battlefield as they had fought .
He hadn’t seen Elder Sun leading that Corrupt Elder over to Long Chen, but he had seen that when Long Chen and that Corrupt Elder had begun fighting, it had been Elder Sun who had been the closest . Although he had quickly charged at another Corrupt Elder, Tu Fang had still noticed that .
With his knowledge of how Elder Sun had constantly been targeting Long Chen, how could Tu Fang possibly not realize that Elder Sun had set that up?
Tu Fang was no longer capable of enduring . Long Chen might be a Divergent, and so he couldn’t purposefully interfere with his matters or give him any special treatment, but this was no longer special treatment . He would never allow Elder Sun to do such a thing to any of his disciples .
With that kind of justification, then even if he handled Elder Sun, he wouldn’t be infected by any karma . And so Tu Fang was finally prepared to execute this completely idiotic Elder Sun .
Elder Sun’s expression changed and he asked, “Why would Enforcement Elder say such a thing?”
Everyone else was startled, looking from Tu Fang and Elder Sun in confusion, not knowing what was going on .
Within that crowd, only Long Chen knew the whole story . But currently, Long Chen was pondering over something and didn’t say anything .
“Do you not even know what you’ve done?” snorted Tu Fang .
“Disciple doesn’t understand . Please explain it clearly Enforcement Elder . ” Elder Sun was panicked inside, but he still acted confused .
Although the two of them were both Elders, Tu Fang was the most senior and most powerful Elder in the Xuantian Monastery . The other Elders had to call themselves disciples in front of him to display their respect .
“Fine then . That Corrupt Elder was originally your opponent . Why would you be defeated and have to run from him? He was also at the eight-temper Bone Forging level, the same as you, so don’t try and tell me that you weren’t his match,” icily said Tu Fang .
Elder Sun said with shame, “Disciple had a problem with his aura when cultivating a few days ago, causing damage to my meridians . That caused my combat ability to sharply drop . If Enforcement Elder does not believe me, you can personally examine it . Disciple is a member of the monastery and has received the monastery’s kindness . How could I possibly intentionally harm the monastery’s disciples?”
Elder Sun stubbornly declared he hadn’t done it on purpose . Furthermore, as a cunning old fox, he had already made his preparations . During the battle, he had purposely harmed his meridians just for this .
There was no way to check at what time the meridians had been injured . In other words, that was rock-solid proof that he hadn’t done it on purpose .
Tu Fang sneered, long since knowing Elder Sun would say that . But he had his own secret arts to determine the veracity of Elder Sun’s words .
Seeing that sneer, Elder Sun felt a chill . If Tu Fang were to determine that he had intentionally harmed Long Chen, then with Tu Fang’s upright nature, he would definitely die .
Elder Sun began to sweat . Tu Fang was about to continue with Long Chen suddenly interrupted .
“This matter isn’t Elder Sun’s fault . The battlefield is constantly chaotic, and no one can make any absolute guarantees .
“I’ll testify that Elder Sun tried to charge over to save me many times, but he was always blocked by the Corrupt path’s experts . He was also helpless .
“And so I’d like to ask Elder Tu Fang not to blame Elder Sun . Although Elder Sun wasn’t able to help, I will definitely remember his intentions . ”
Long Chen’s words dumbfounded Tu Fang . He wondered if Long Chen had suddenly become an idiot . Was he unable to tell that he had been purposely targeting him? He was pleading for Elder Sun’s innocence?
Even Elder Sun was stunned . He had definitely never thought Long Chen would go out of his way to help him .
But he also wasn’t afraid . As long as he stubbornly declared that his meridians had been damaged and he had been weakened, he would be fine . He hadn’t left behind any mistakes .
Tu Fang didn’t know what Long Chen was thinking, but since Long Chen didn’t want him to continue looking into this matter, he could only drop it .
“For this Corrupt and Righteous battle, other than a certain sect, everyone’s display was excellent,” Tu Fang said to everyone .
Of course, when he said ‘other than a certain sect’, everyone’s gazes turned to the Bloodnet Sect’s a.s.sistant sect leader .
All of the Bloodnet Sect’s disciples had fled without a single one remaining behind .
Although many other sect’s had had cowardly disciples who had run, they all had at least a few disciples who had stayed . It was only a question of how many had fled and how many had stayed . But no matter how many or how few, or even whether they had managed to survive, that was still a kind of honor for those sects .
The Bloodnet Sect’s a.s.sistant sect leader had no way to refute this at all . Today had really been shameful for him .
