Chapter 535: Take the Blame
As envoys visiting the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, Tianhuang Jianzun and others are in an awkward position. As Qingfeng Jianxian's direct teachers, they have to both apologize and find out the truth.
To be honest, based on their understanding of Qingfeng, the boy was humble and cautious, and there was no need for him to do anything as bold as slaying a dragon.
There is no shortage of cultivation resources in Tianjian Mountain, and Tianjian Mountain has already found substitutes for what was gained from slaying the dragon over the years. If one says that the dragon was slain just for the sake of momentary pride, then it can only be said that people underestimate the wisdom of Tianjian Mountain's true teachings.
Tianhuang Jianzun and others were constantly communicating with the Wanlongchao Dragon Clan, trying to find out the details of what had happened.
The more they inquired, the more doubts they had.
They deeply suspected that someone had planned this accident with the intention of causing a conflict between Tianjian Mountain and Wanlong Nest.
But where is the evidence?
The group entered the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest Cave. Tianhuang Jianzun and others saw the gazes of a group of real dragons, and their scalps tingled for a moment.
The eyes of the real dragons in the entire Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest were filled with anger. It was dissatisfaction with the dragon-slaying incident and annoyance towards the traitors of Tianjian Mountain.
Your Tianjian Mountain is amazing. The Demon-Suppressing True Lord created the way to slay dragons. Your disciples and grandchildren have slain countless dragons, and are rising step by step on the lives of the dragon clan.
Even if the Great Sage of the Dragon Clan bowed his head and begged the True Lord of Demon Suppression to restrain his disciples and put the method of slaying dragons and attaining enlightenment on the shelf.
Today, more than a hundred years later, such a thing happened again.
Could it be that they really thought that the dragon race was easy to bully? With the support of Zhenyao Zhenjun and the powerful fighting power of sword cultivators, they didn't care about the reputation of the dragon race?
If Tianjian Mountain really has this attitude, then there is no need for Wanlong Nest to remain on the mother planet. It will also shed blood on Tianjian Mountain and use the lives of countless real dragons and sword cultivators to declare to the world that Wanlong Nest cannot be bullied!
Tianhuang Sword Master said: "Everyone in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, I, Tianjian Mountain, take responsibility for what Qingfeng did.
But there are many doubts in this matter. Why did Qingfeng enter the sea, why did he have a conflict with the dragon clan, and why did he dare to kill the dragon? We are still investigating these things.
I hope you will give us some time to investigate, tell the truth to Dabai, give an explanation to Wanlong Nest, and clear Tianjian Mountain’s name.”
In his opinion, the most important thing that Wanlongchao should do after the incident was to protect the scene and then conduct an investigation together with Tianjianshan.
Convicting Qing Feng so directly and escalating the matter to a level of friction between the two forces is really putting Tianjian Mountain on the fire.
However, it is not anyone else's fault that Wanlongchao behaved like this. It was because Tianjianshan bullied them badly in the past, and they have not yet vented their anger.
Hearing this, Long Yu said coldly: "The sword immortals of Tianjian Mountain are extraordinary. What kind of excuses do they need to come up with for what they have done?"
"The head of my dragon clan member is right there. The blood and tears have not dried yet, and he still cannot close his eyes in peace." An elder of the dragon clan spoke.
He and Tianhuang Sword Master are of the same generation, so when he spoke this time, he did not think about saving face for the other party.
As the victim, Wanlongchao not only lost face but also lost a real dragon. How could they still expect them to be nice?
Go to hell.
As for those so-called doubts, what does they have to do with Wanlongchao? If you in Tianjian Mountain feel there are any doubts, then go and investigate them yourself.
There is no definite evidence, no so-called truth, so don't try to blame us now.
Long Wudao's dragon body was suspended high in the air. He lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Tianhuang Sword Master, since you do not agree with the judgment of my Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, then investigate it yourself."
After saying this, he removed the restrictions on Qingfeng Sword Immortal and let the "suspect" explain the process himself.
"Master, Grand Master, you are here." Qingfeng Sword Immortal changed his previous arrogance and said ashamedly, "Disciple has caused trouble for you!"
Tianhuang Sword Master said in a cold voice: "No need to say anything else, just tell us what happened."
If it were at Tianjian Mountain, he would definitely close the door and give him a severe beating. It was really unfilial to have caused so much trouble for the sect.
Qingfeng Sword Immortal then began to narrate what had happened: He was originally traveling in a coastal city, but later heard that a strange object had appeared in the sea. During his search, he had a conflict with the dragon clan, who verbally insulted Tianjianshan. In a fit of rage, he started fighting with the other party and accidentally killed them.
During the narration, Tianhuang Jianzun asked questions from time to time. The more questions he asked, the more he felt that Qingfeng's behavior was reckless and impulsive, which was unlike his usual behavior.
There are doubts and clues, but now not only has Wanlongchao determined the nature of the matter, but Qingfeng himself has also admitted it, so it will be difficult to carry out the next investigation.
At this point, they can only take the blame and conduct the investigation privately.
Just like the incident when Zhao Hao killed Chen Qingniu's father, anomalies were discovered at that time, and it was not until several years of investigation that the truth came out. It was an immortal from the Abyss who planned this. But the truth is the truth, and now we have to deal with it as it should be.
Ziwei Immortal Lord bowed deeply and apologized, "My disciple Qingfeng committed a serious crime. As a master, I have an undeniable sin. Today, I apologize to everyone in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest!"
The dragons of the dragon clan said nothing and wanted to easily cover up the matter? That was impossible.
Ziwei Immortal Lord sighed, stretched out his hand and patted his disciple Qingfeng on the head, using the sword energy to grind away Qingfeng's lifelong cultivation.
This process is naturally painful and desperate.
Hearing the wailing and begging for mercy from Qingfeng Sword Immortal, the dragons of Ten Thousand Dragons Nest were extremely happy, and they only regretted that they were not the ones who took action.
After a while, Qing Feng had transformed from a talented and top-level swordsman into a white-haired old man.
Even though Tianjian Mountain has abundant resources and his master has taught him well, Qingfeng's future is doomed to be ruined and will be far worse than before.
This gap will cause him pain for the rest of his life.
"Is it enough?" asked the Immortal Lord Ziwei.
Long Yu snorted coldly: "Of course it's not enough."
The Immortal Lord Ziwei drew out his sword, swung it to cut off his own arm, and then shattered his own flying sword and placed it next to the falling dragon.
A sword cultivator at the Star Lord level is willing to break his sword and sacrifice his body to make amends. His intention is sincere enough.
"He has already borne the blame for his disciple. If it is not enough, it will naturally be borne by me as their master." Ziwei Immortal Lord had a miserable look on his face.
It is difficult for any sword cultivator to bear the damage to his natal flying sword, so he naturally suffered heavy losses as well.
Long Wudao said: "We have seen Tianjian Mountain's sincerity, so we will give you two days to investigate.
If the truth comes out, everyone will be happy. If you are not wrongly accused of Tianjian Mountain, then let’s judge their crimes in the City of Ten Thousand Monsters.”
The disciples of Tianjian Mountain were convicted and tried by Wanlong Nest, which was naturally a matter of saving the face of Tianjian Mountain and maintaining the dignity of Wanlong Nest.
Not wanting to take the blame and not wanting their sect to suffer loss of reputation, Tianhuang Jianzun and the others naturally had to hurry up and investigate.
Long Wudao's gaze fell on Tianhuang Jianzun and others, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. With all the arrangements made so far, how could he possibly let Tianjian Mountain find out the truth?
At least, it is absolutely impossible in the past few days.
Ziwei Immortal Lord and his entourage left the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest. They were filled with worries and didn't know how to reveal the truth within two days.
Wang Xuan, who was far away, saw the miserable figures of the group of people. He did not expect that the Immortal Lord Ziwei had even lost an arm.
Needless to say, the Qingfeng Sword Immortal will not have a good end.
"It seems that Tianjian Mountain did not find out the truth, and did not even think that it was Long Yu and other aliens who framed them, and did not expect that the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had been secretly invaded and occupied by aliens."
If they knew this, how could they be willing to take the blame and apologize humbly?
I’m afraid he has already called in the Demon-Suppressing Lord to slaughter all the aliens in the Ten Thousand Dragons’ Nest!
Things have come to this point, and Tianjian Mountain is afraid that there is no way to turn the situation around. Now is the time for Wang Xuan to make his appearance.
But his appearance fee is not cheap. Tianjian Mountain, Wanlong Nest and those alien races will all have to pay him a lot.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay."
The Taoist immortal transformed by Wang Xuan shouted loudly, calling Tianhuang Sword Master and his group.
The clone was still doing good deeds outside and pushing the progress of the time field, but the main body fell into deep space, greeting a dozen sword cultivators from Tianjian Mountain who had just suffered a lot of humiliation.
