C107 Cunninghamia Lanceolata Thunb (1/2)
The Divine Wind Altar was in ruins, and there were piles of rubble everywhere. It was a testament to the thousands of holes left in the ground by those Qiong Qi fierce beasts. Only now, the crowd had become numb and indifferent to the catastrophic slaughter. They were concerned about where the Qiong Qi came from and who allowed this Qiong Qi to wreak havoc in the human world.
The words that Yin Bao Scroll had said in order to take responsibility seemed to be forced onto them, but in reality, it had fallen right into their hands. However, they still felt that it was not enough, they couldn't let Yin Bao Scroll take responsibility for it alone, and should implicate the entire Qing Qiu Mountain. In these thousands of years, hadn't the Six Realms done the same thing? It was just that this time, the Demon and Demon Realms were able to seize the initiative, causing the longsword in their hand to secretly think in their hearts.
Yin Bao rolled up his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back, still righteously standing there, ”This time, the Qiong Qi calamity caused the people of the human world to be annihilated, and Taixuan didn't discover that there were actually some strange beasts hidden within the altar. Even when the Qiong Qi calamity raged, they didn't arrive in time to rescue them, causing Taihua Altar to suffer heavy losses. Even though he was in danger, he still did not lose out to the noble elder.
Yin Bao Scroll slowly said, ”Now, thanks to everyone's help, we managed to throw Qiong Qi into the Divine Wind Cliff, temporarily eliminating the threat.”
”Although the Divine Wind Cliff is one of the three perils of Qing Qiu, it possesses boundless power. I'm afraid that the Divine Wind Cliff will not be able to trap it for the rest of its life,” Mu Sangqing said worriedly. Mu Xianqing's seemingly unintentional words managed to change the topic.
”This time, the most important reason why the Qiongqi Alliance harmed the human world is because the Qiongqi Sect had hidden the Qiong Qi in the QIng Qiu mountain, and they constantly took risks, and finally lost control of themselves and caused the Qiong Qi to commit a heinous crime.” Jiu Mei slowly paced back and forth, and with a meaningful glance at Yun Tang, he seemed to be hinting and emphasizing something, ”So, today, someone must take responsibility for the disaster of Qiong Qi. This is a tradition that our six realms must abide by since the creation of this world …”
From Yun Jiu Tang's point of view, the reason why these people came to help was actually to strike at the strength of Supreme Mystery. Their true motive was actually so despicable. He could not help but feel indignant, and thought back to when he first thought about it.
He shook his head slightly, as if he already knew of the plot of the group's members, such as Solitary Sword, Li Fengmei, and the others, ”You guys are really worried about this matter. Since I, Yin Bao Yun, have already spoken, I won't find an excuse!” His voice was resolute and decisive, and his thunderous response shocked all of the disciples present.
”Back in the tragic case of the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest, Taixuan's third disciple, the fifth, hidden spirit, committed suicide. Today, three altar cities have been wrecked, resulting in the deaths of several hundred disciples. I wonder how Elder Yin will apologize this time around?” His words were like an incantation that affected everyone present. When everyone heard it, they could not help but shudder.
What insidious words, coming from the mouth of the candle! Looks like in order to take this opportunity to attack the Primordial Profound Capital, the devil realm had really put in a lot of effort. Yun Jiu Tang could not help but feel a sense of disgust; he had never been in contact with such a despicable and ugly threat before, his heart filled with boundless sorrow.
Yin Mo Chen turned his head and stared at Zhu Jiuyin, but he didn't refute him. Instead, a cold, piercing light of justice and majesty shone in his eyes, causing Zhu Jiuyin to feel a sense of cowardice. After a long silence, Yin Bao Yun slowly opened his mouth and said, ”Young Master Candle has never forgotten the tragic events that occurred fifteen years ago in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest. Furthermore, you are so eager to deal with today's disaster that there aren't many people like yourself.” Perhaps from this moment onwards, when the Nine Yin Candle slowly tore off the mask that he had been disguising for a long time, Yin Bao Scroll finally began to recognize this cold and hypocritical young master.
At this moment, the rubble of the Divine Wind Altar was filled with sorrow and killing intent. Everyone was silent, and even though the rivers of blood that the Qiong Qi ravaged had yet to cool, now that someone was being forced to take responsibility for it, the miserable scene of the fifth hidden spirit's self-deprecation to apologize would probably happen again.
”Now that the Qiong Qi disaster has yet to be resolved, everyone is anxious to find the one who is in the wrong. Moreover, we still haven't figured out where Qiong Qi came from, so it would be unfair to place all these crimes on Taixuan.” Even though Mu Lengqing did not know where Qiong Qi came from, she did not want to see the Supreme Mystery being implicated. Furthermore, she did not want to see the Demon and Demon Realms colluding with each other, recklessly turning black and white.
Shen Jingyang quickly followed up, ”Chief Mu's words are reasonable. In my opinion, there might be someone behind this. They are purposely framing the Supreme Xuan …”
”Don't make wild guesses here, the matter is already very clear. The appearance of a Qiong Qi in the Qing Qiu Mountain Range is the responsibility of the Supreme Profound. Don't tell me that the Supreme Xuan doesn't even have this little bit of courage and courage?”
”Whether or not it is the responsibility of Taixuan's capital, we have to investigate it before coming to a conclusion. No one should attempt to harm the primal chaos now!”
Li Fengshu flew into a rage and roared loudly, ”Impudent! ”How dare you …”
”Everyone, shut up!” This shout was like a clap of thunder, forcefully interrupting Li Fengxian's speech. It shocked everyone, and they all stared fixedly at the person who spoke — — Yun Jiuchang. Even Yin Mo Chen looked at Yun Jiuchang in shock. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself. He stretched out his arm, preparing to stop Yun Jiuchang, but it was already too late.
Yun Jiuchang slowly walked to the center of the crowd and said in a clear voice, ”Everyone, quiet down!” He looked at the crowd's fearful, confused, and mocking gazes. Those gloating expressions seemed to be etched in the deepest recesses of his memory. ”I brought this Qiong Qi back to the mortal world from the Great Sea alone …”
”Ah!”
”So that's how it is …”
”It really is him …” ”I never would have thought that …”
”Young master Yun, you have to think carefully. This matter isn't randomly said …”
Everyone was astonished and shocked as their discussions exploded. In an instant, the place was boiling as the terrifying aura after the bloody battle was drowned out.
Shen Jingyang glared angrily at him, his deep eyes staring at him. He kept shaking his head, as if he couldn't believe his own ears. The others were just as astonished as Shen Jingyang was. No one believed that the words he just said came from Yun Jiuchang.
Yun Jiu Tang had already anticipated the consequences of speaking the truth, but now that he said it out loud, he no longer felt repressed. Instead, he felt more at ease.
”Jiu Tang, you have to take responsibility for saying this!” The scimitar shaped eyebrows stared at Yun Jiuchang, his eyes were filled with rage and hatred.
”Devil Ancestor, Jiu Tang knows, but that's the truth!”
”Then tell me, what is the meaning of killing a beast in the sea? The Qiong Qi was obviously killed in the sea!” The ruler shaped brows's tone turned fierce and bitter. He originally thought that he could use this opportunity to fiercely attack the Supreme Mystery Capital. Yin Bao's confession and blame made him secretly rejoice. However, he didn't expect Yun Jiu Tang to come out and mess things up.
”The Qiong Qi was indeed killed by us in the Great Sea.” Yun Jiutang looked at the people fighting alongside each other in the Great Sea. ”But …” He started to speak but then stopped, as if he couldn't bear to continue.
”But what!” ”Since you dare to admit it and want to take responsibility for Tai Xuan, then don't try to hide the truth! ”Speak!” At this moment, Li Fengxian seemed to be the leader of the six realms that gave out orders, and a condescending sense of judgement made him feel as if he held the power of life and death in his hands.
”After many years of alienation, Qiong Qi in the Great Sea is no longer what everyone thinks it is.” Yun Jiu Tang gave a long sigh, ”Qiong Qi has actually already become two males and one female. Normally, they only act as one, but in times of crisis, they're split into two males and two females …”
