Chapter 501 Wave after wave

"Ha ha……"

Tang Yuan's aggressive questioning not only did not make Luo Tianjin lose his composure, but instead caused him to burst into laughter.

This move caused an uproar all around.

"Why is Palace Master Luo laughing?"

"Before answering Steward Tang's question, I would like to ask all the heroes in the world, is there anyone else who has the same doubts as Steward Tang?" After saying that, Luo Tianjin looked around with an expectant look of interest.

However, in response to Luo Tianjin's straightforward answer, the people around him began to whisper to each other and spoke vaguely. No one dared to look him in the eye, and no one dared to answer Luo Tianjin's questions directly.

"In fact, even if you don't say it, I can guess a thing or two." Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "What happened yesterday has made many of my friends in the martial arts world disappointed in me and even the Xianwang Mansion. You think that I am close to the Tianshan Yulong Palace, abandoning the light and joining the dark, currying favor with the powerful, and doing evil. Even if you don't say it, you have already criticized Luo in your heart. I am not right or not?"

Seeing that Luo Tianjin was calm and showed no signs of being angry, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, they neither admitted nor denied it. They just laughed dryly a few times to ease the awkwardness.

Seeing this, Luo Tianjin nodded slightly and said, "It's okay! What I did yesterday made you despise me, which is actually not surprising at all. Why? Because as far as what I did yesterday is concerned, not to mention the heroes in the world are resentful, even Luo myself looks down on myself."

"This……"

Everyone thought Luo Tianjin would try every possible means to shirk responsibility, but he actually admitted it on his own initiative, even at the cost of slapping himself in the face. This move was not only unexpected, but also made people more unpredictable about Luo Tianjin's thoughts, and everyone showed curiosity.

"The Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace claims to be the leader of the four major heretical religions in the martial arts world. It is rampant in the Western Regions, bullying the people, doing evil, and being lawless. The local people are all terrified when they talk about it, and dare not speak out. What's worse, Ren Wuya has repeatedly sent his disciples to sneak into the Central Plains to stir up trouble and act recklessly. According to Luo's investigation, two years ago, at the retirement ceremony of Senior Mo Cen, it was the people of the Jade Dragon Palace who killed Senior Mo's family in front of all the heroes in the world and took away the Jingfenghuayutu. Over the years, the actions of the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace are notorious and full of evil. They are despised by heroes all over the world, and the righteous men in the rivers and lakes are all willing to kill them!"

Luo Tianjin's words were righteous and generous, which made everyone applaud involuntarily. At the same time, they became more and more curious about Luo Tianjin's real intentions.

Xuanming put his hands together and asked first: "Since Master Luo knew that the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace was unrepentant, why were you willing to associate with them?"

"Good question!" Luo Tianjin said solemnly, "Thanks to the kindness of the heroes of the world, I have been given the honorary title of 'Northern Sage King'. As a 'sage king', I dare not boast of my noble character, heroic spirit, but at least I am a man of great talent and loyalty. I am stupid. Apart from fighting against the Peach Blossom Fairy and driving the ambitious Peach Blossom Sword Island out of the Central Plains, I have not made any contribution to the Central Plains martial arts world for many years. I have wasted the title of 'sage king' bestowed on me by my friends. Whenever I think of this, I..."

Having said this, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but look miserable. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and choked up, "I feel so guilty and regretful."

Seeing Luo Tianjin pretending to be serious, Jin Fuyu and others couldn't help but show contempt on their faces, and Yun Zhuiyue's eyes were even more gloomy and full of contempt.

"Lord Luo is too modest. If the Northern Sage King hadn't been in charge of the north these years, I wonder to what extent we, the heroes of the north, would have been bullied by the Tartars."

"That's right! The land north of Qinhuai was originally the land of the Han people, but it was repeatedly invaded by the Mongolian Tartars. Only the Northern Sage King can stand up to the Tartars and fight for a trace of dignity for the Han people who lost their land in the north, so that they will not become slaves of a fallen country or dogs without a home!"

"That's right! Under the rule of the Northern Sage King, the Luoyang area is peaceful and tranquil. Compared with the chaos between the Song, Jin, and Mongolian kingdoms in the past, when all industries were ruined and people were living in poverty, the people of Luoyang today are like those who were born in a prosperous era. They all remember the kindness of the Northern Sage King."

"What is the right path? What is a hero? It is not being the leader of a sect or being powerful. It is not a false reputation or martial arts skills. It is serving the country and the people like Lord Luo, and benefiting the people."

"If you say that the Northern Sage King is not a true hero, we, the northern heroes, will be the first to disagree!"

……

Most people enjoyed Luo Tianjin's "hypocrisy", and many people listed the great achievements and contributions Luo Tianjin had made to the Central Plains martial arts world over the years.

For a while, there were compliments and words of admiration coming one after another all around.

The general trend made Jin Fuyu and others who were at odds with Luo Tianjin dare not speak out easily for fear of offending the public.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

Xu Qingnian waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Why don't we wait for Lord Luo to finish his words and give everyone a clear explanation?"

"Everything in the past is indeed admirable, but it cannot change the fact that Lord Luo is close to Yulong Palace." Tang Yuan said coldly, "A hero does not talk about his past achievements. Lord Luo should focus on the present instead of reminiscing about the past."

"What Manager Tang said is very true."

Facing Tang Yuan's repeated provocations, Luo Tianjin was not angry, but readily promised: "It is precisely because I, Luo, have been ashamed of the Central Plains martial arts world, the heroes of the world, and the name of 'Wise King' that I have been trying to make up for my debt."

"Oh? What does Palace Master Luo mean by this?" Yin Baimei seemed to have guessed something and asked curiously, "How are you going to make up for it?"

"Punish the evildoers and uphold justice!" Luo Tianjin said sternly, "Right now, the Central Plains martial arts world is facing internal and external troubles. It will take a long time to eliminate the external troubles, so there is no need to mention it today. The biggest internal trouble is undoubtedly the four major heretical sects headed by the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace. Among them, the worst of the bad, the worst of the bad, is the ambitious Ren Wuya and his rapidly expanding Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, which is constantly spreading to the Central Plains."

Luo Tianjin's words immediately aroused dissatisfaction from Longxiang Mountain and Jueqing Valley. Xiao Zhirou looked at Luo Tianjin with a look that was mixed with anger and coldness, and contempt in her resentment.

"As everyone knows, Ren Wuya's lifelong grudge is to unify the martial arts world and cover the sky with one hand." Luo Tianjin added, "If we keep tolerating him and watching the Jade Dragon Palace grow stronger without doing anything, the Central Plains martial arts world will sooner or later face a second disaster, which may be even more terrible than the last time Peach Blossom Sword Island caused chaos in the Central Plains. Therefore, for the sake of the righteousness of the martial arts world, the people of the world, and the stability of the Central Plains, Luo has to take the risk and take this bad plan. I swear to eradicate Ren Wuya, the martial arts demon who kills people without blinking an eye." "Hiss!"

After these words were spoken, everyone finally understood Luo Tianjin's true intention. They were all shocked and at a loss for words.

Qin Ming's face turned extremely ugly, and he asked doubtfully: "I wonder what you mean by 'the worst option'?"

"It's the strategy of 'using the enemy's territory to attack Guo'." Luo Tianjin said solemnly, "Luo is willing to take risks, endure humiliation, and pretend to befriend Ren Wuya, just to gain his trust, and then find an opportunity to eradicate him completely."

"Wow!"

Luo Tianjin's words once again caused an uproar.

"Master Luo, what you mean is..." Zhong Limu was surprised, "Everything that happened yesterday... was fake? You deliberately put on a good show for Ren Wuya to see?"

"Exactly! Today, Luo wants to express his deep gratitude to someone in front of all the heroes in the world."

After saying that, Luo Tianjin waved his hand and pointed towards the sidelines, and everyone's eyes followed suit.

Two disciples from the Xianwang Palace slowly came over carrying a bamboo chair. Sitting on the chair was Liu Xunyi, who had a pale face and a weak breath.

"If Liu Xunyi hadn't endured the humiliation and risked his life to go deep into the tiger's den, he would never have won Ren Wuya's trust, and I wouldn't have been able to achieve my wish to kill the devil." Luo Tianjin explained, "Yesterday, Luo's words about admiring Ren Wuya were false, Liu Xunyi's defection to Yulong Palace was false, and worshipping Ren Wuya as the ancestor was even more of a farce."

"This……"

The sudden and drastic change caught everyone off guard and they took a long time to recover.

It was obvious that the criminal was caught red-handed, and the facts were set in stone, so why did everything change today?
Black becomes white, evil becomes good, non-existence becomes right, it is shocking and hard to accept for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, Miao An slowly spoke: "Although Lord Luo's words are very convincing, as the old saying goes, 'a great falsehood can appear true, and a great treachery can appear loyal'. It seems... hard to convince people that Lord Luo is trying to confuse right and wrong and turn the world upside down just based on his one-sided words."

"According to Master Miao'an, how can we prove that what Luo said is true?"

"In my humble opinion, you should call out Ren Wuya, and have the two of you confront each other in front of all the heroes in the world. I wonder if Palace Master Luo has the courage to do so? After all, words are not enough, there needs to be ironclad evidence."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of whispers all around.

“Haha…” Luo Tianjin laughed up to the sky and shook his head, “I’m afraid I can’t do anything to ask Ren Wuya to come out and confront him.”

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Why? Could it be..."

"But what Master Miao'an said makes sense." Luo Tianjin interrupted Tang Yuan without paying attention to his angry look, "It's 'words are not enough, ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain'. Now, I have ironclad evidence in my hand, and I dare to ask all the heroes in the world to jointly testify and clear the name of Luo, Liu Xunyi and the Xianwang Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Fu Yu's eyes suddenly changed, and an ominous premonition quickly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"If there is really irrefutable evidence, all the heroes in the world will surely uphold justice for Master Luo!" Xuanming promised solemnly.

"Thank you, Abbot Xuanming!"

Luo Tianjin bowed and then waved gently towards the sidelines. Yan Bugui understood and immediately picked up a wooden box and walked into the field.

At this moment, the people around were looking at the wooden box intently, so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Everyone, there is a mountain of irrefutable evidence here, which is enough to prove that what Luo said is true."

After saying that, Luo Tianjin opened the wooden box with his own hands. With a slight "creak" sound, two bloody human heads appeared in broad daylight.

"hiss!"

When they saw this thing, there was a burst of exclamations from all around. After Jin Fuyu saw the human head in the wooden box, he was stunned on the spot, his face as pale as death.

The two heads were those of Ren Wuya and Huyan Ba.
