Although Kong Yunzhen was also from the Hidden Brocade Court, compared to Shanxue, he was the type of cultivator who was ostracized. Especially when he first joined the sect, his family was well off. However, after a few decades of cultivation, due to his neglect of taking care of his family, his family had deteriorated from a wealthy cultivator to a poor cultivator in the Hidden Brocade Court.
A 'poor' person like him naturally disliked people like Shanxue who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
Kong Yunzhen said instinctively, "Oh?
Shanxue, what proof do you have?
Why do you say this is a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster? "
Shanxue stood with his back straight. He was tall and slender. In order to show his uniqueness, he had specially modified his gray cultivator's robe. The collar, the bottom edge of the robe, and the lower part of the elbow were all embroidered with long snow-white edges, which made him look extraordinary and elegant.
Most of the Hidden Beauty Court female cultivators' eyes lit up as they watched. They whispered to each other and pointed at each other.
Shanxue smiled elegantly at the crowd. "Think about it, this natural disaster came so suddenly. How many years has it been since the Spiritual Mountain Sect experienced a natural disaster?
Why did it have to come at this time instead of earlier or later? "
Kong Yunzhen snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean by not coming earlier or later?"
Shanxue looked meaningfully at Grand Senior Brother. "You'll have to ask Grand Senior Brother then!"
His words caused a stir in the crowd. All eyes turned to look at the Grand Senior Brother of Hidden Sword Court.
Li Chengfeng was like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating the chaotic and dark minds!
So that's why!
No wonder Grand Senior Brother and the rest tried so hard to chase me away when I came to Hidden Sword Court!
Li Chengfeng and Yuehan instinctively looked at each other. Both of them instantly figured out that this earthquake was caused by Grand Senior Brother!
But why was he doing this?
Didn't he know that this earthquake would kill a lot of people?
Even his own Senior Brother would die?!
Li Chengfeng suppressed his anger and gave Yuehan a look, gesturing for her to wait and see. His mind was racing. Why would Grand Senior Brother do this?
Grand Senior Brother took a step forward, raised his head, and said in a deep voice, "Shanxue, why do you say that?
What does this Earth Dragon Walk have to do with me? "
Shanxue sneered, "Oh?
What does it matter? Don't you know it yourself? "
Grand Senior Brother said, "I'm not sure, please enlighten me, Shanxue Junior Brother!"
Shanxue laughed and flung his long sleeves, "Then I'll make it clear to you!
Let me ask you, where did Ouyang Nan from the Hidden Sword Pavilion go a few days ago? "
Eldest Senior Brother seemed to have expected such an interrogation. He said, "He has a mission."
Shanxue immediately asked, "What mission?"
Eldest Senior Brother said, "Cheng Village asked our sect for help and asked us to send a cultivator to drive away the demonic creatures in the mountains."
Shanxue smiled faintly. "Oh?
When will we depart? "
Eldest Senior Brother said, "Six days ago."
Shanxue immediately asked, "When will he return?"
Eldest Senior Brother said, "Two days ago!"
Shanxue said, "In other words, a total of four days?
Is that right? "
Grand Senior Brother said, "That's right!"
Shanxue took out a small fan out of nowhere, snapped it open, and fanned himself with a smile. "That's good, I was waiting for you to say that!"
As he said that, he turned to Kong Yunzhen and said, "Uncle Kong, please allow me to call a witness."
Kong Yunzhen saw that Shanxue had taken away the leadership of the Spiritual Mountain Conference with just a few words, and he was extremely unhappy. But now that everyone's attention was on Shanxue, he could not object. He could only say, "Sure."
Shanxue took out a small bell from his sleeve and shook it gently. The clear sound of the bell traveled far. After a while, two white lights flashed in the teleportation point in the stone room. One of Shanxue's servants in black brought an old man who looked like an old farmer to the scene. After the servant brought the old man to the teleportation point, he walked back to the teleportation array and disappeared in an instant.
When the old man saw this, he was so scared that his legs trembled. He knelt down subconsciously and kowtowed to all the cultivators in the hall. "Greetings, Master Cultivators! Greetings, Master Cultivators!"
Some of these cultivators looked at the old village chief with a smile, some had a contemptuous look, and some were indifferent as if he did not exist at all.
Only Li Chengfeng was stunned when he saw the old man, because this was the old village chief he met when he was swindling people in Cheng Village.
Although he knew that the old village chief was not a good person, he could not help but sigh when he saw him kowtowing pitifully to the cultivators in the hall.
Because this reminded him of the scene when his mother kowtowed to Sun Boren.
Shanxue's figure moved and disappeared from his position in an instant and appeared in front of the old man. He smiled and bent down to help him up. His voice was soft and his face was full of smiles as he said to the Cheng Village Chief, "Old man, don't be afraid. Just answer whatever I ask."
When the Grand Senior Brother saw the Cheng Village Chief, he suddenly frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again. His eyes were lowered, and no one could tell what he was thinking at this time.
However, Ouyang Nan was slightly uneasy. He quickly glanced at Qin Mieqin next to him.
Qin Mieqin also quickly winked at him, signaling him to calm down.
Ouyang Xiu of the Hidden Beauty Court looked at Shanxue with a love-struck look. She murmured in a low voice, "Senior Brother Shanxue is too humble. He's so polite to a farmer."
A female cultivator next to her immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, if it were me, I would immediately kick him out. Don't dirty our Spiritual Mountain!"
They whispered to each other, but Huang Nishang, who was at the bottom of Hidden Brocade Court, had been staring at Li Chengfeng. She was wearing a veil, obviously to cover the scars on her face. Her eyes were full of hatred.
In the hall, the Cheng Village Chief was flattered and said to Shanxue, "Yes, yes, I will say whatever the cultivator wants me to say!"
The Grand Senior Brother raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Shanxue immediately said, "No, no, no. You will answer whatever I ask. What is the truth, you will say it. Do you understand?
Remember not to make things up, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of this hall today. "
The Cheng Family Village Chief was so scared that he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but he was stopped by the Eldest Senior Brother's hand. An invisible force stopped him from kneeling. He quickly said in fear, "Yes, yes, this old man will tell the truth. If there is a lie, may the heavens strike me with five thunder strikes!"
Shanxue slapped the fan in his hand on the palm of his hand and said, "Good!"
He let go of the Cheng Village Chief's arm and said, "Then let me ask you, this cultivator Ouyang, have you seen him before?" Shanxue came to a place not far from the Hidden Sword Court and pointed at Ouyang Nan.
The Cheng Village Chief looked carefully. Li Chengfeng had a guilty conscience and quickly bowed his head slightly. Fortunately, the Cheng Village Chief did not recognize Li Chengfeng at all. His eyes passed Li Chengfeng and fell on Ouyang Nan. Ouyang Nan glared at him and said, "Old man, you have to think clearly. Don't forget me!"
Qin Mieqin glanced at him speechlessly and said in a very low voice, "What does old eyes have to do with forgetting you?"
Ouyang Nan was furious. He turned his head and glared at Qin Mieqin. He whispered angrily, "At this time, you still want to go against me?"
Qin Mieqin snorted and turned his head away.
At this time, the Cheng Village Chief carefully identified him and said, "I have indeed seen him!"
Shanxue smiled slightly and said, "When did he arrive in Cheng Village?"
The Cheng Village Chief said, "Six days ago."
Shanxue said, "When did he leave Cheng Village?"
The Cheng Village Chief said, "Five days ago."
Shanxue smiled and said, "Oh?
That is to say, this cultivator Ouyang was only in Cheng Village for one day?
Then … Big Senior Brother … "
Shanxue's smile instantly revealed a lofty and sharp spirit, "You said that Senior Brother Ouyang was outside for four days, but according to my investigation, he was only in Cheng Village for one day. Then where was he for the extra three days?"
