"It really wasn't you?"
Hearing Young Master Qing Ming's words, a glint of deep thought flashed across the Dark Moon Sacred King's eyes. He said slowly, "I hope you didn't do it. If you really did, then you have disappointed me."
"I really didn't kill him!"
Young Master Qing Ming was really suffering in silence. He said helplessly, "As my father's son, I still have the ability to see the big picture. I know what kind of situation this is. I won't make a move against him at this critical moment and allow others to get hold of our Qing Ming Sect's weakness. Someone must be trying to frame me!"
"That's possible!"
Nodding his head gently, the Dark Moon Sage King continued, "If you really didn't do this, then the person behind this is most likely trying to sabotage our operation. He deliberately killed Cloud Leopard and framed you, causing internal strife and delaying our operation!"
"This …"
Hearing this, Young Master Qing Ming quickly thought of a possibility and asked, "If that's the case, could it be the Monkey Tribe behind this?"
The next step of the Dark Moon Sage King's plan was to deal with the Monkey Tribe. For such a thing to happen at this time, the Monkey Tribe was the biggest suspect!
"That's very possible."
After hesitating for a moment, the Dark Moon Sage King said slowly, "However, although we know that the Monkey Tribe did it, we don't have any evidence. Even if we say it out loud, no one will believe us."
"Then what should we do?"
Looking at the Dark Moon Sage King, Young Master Qing Ming said anxiously, "Now, the entire Green Expanse City, and even the entire Green Expanse Sect, thinks that I killed Cloud Leopard. They want my father to hand over the murderer. If we can't find any evidence, it'll be difficult!"
"Actually, it's not difficult."
After hesitating for a moment, the Dark Moon Sage King chuckled and said, "The simplest way is to tell everyone that you're the murderer. In front of everyone, we'll throw you into the Heavenly Prison and promise them that we'll kill you as an apology to Cloud Leopard!"
"What, what …"
Looking at the Dark Moon Sage King, Young Master Qing Ming said in disbelief, "Father, you know that I'm not the murderer. Why are you doing this to me?
Could it be that in your heart, dealing with the Monkey Tribe is more important than me, your son? "
"Yan 'er, you are my most beloved son. How could I really kill you?
Not to mention that you didn't kill Cloud Leopard, even if you did, I won't let you apologize to him! "
Looking at Young Lord Qing Ming, the Dark Moon Saint King smiled gently and signaled Young Lord Qing Ming to calm down. He said slowly, "This is just a delaying tactic!
You should know that if this matter drags on, it won't be good for our Green Sanctuary Sect and it will affect my plan. But at this time, if I use someone else as a scapegoat, not to mention the Leopard Clan, even the other forces might not agree. After all, if I can casually attack them, then there's no need for them to rely on me! "
At this point, the Dark Moon Sage King glanced at Young Master Qing Ming. Seeing that his emotions were gradually calming down, he continued, "Therefore, under such circumstances, the best way to deal with it is to announce to the public that you are the murderer and punish you severely. This way, they will have nothing to say. After all, I didn't even cover up for my own son, which proves that I am selfless. Under such circumstances, it will be much more convenient for me to summon them!"
"But I …"
Hearing this, Young Lord Qing Ming understood the Dark Moon Sage King's intention. He wanted to temporarily lock himself up to give everyone an explanation. But the problem was that he didn't do anything, so why should he accept such a punishment?
This made Young Lord Qing Ming very unhappy.
However, given the current situation, Young Master Qing Ming had no other choice. After all, he could not go against the Dark Moon Saint King's decision. Even if the Dark Moon Saint King wanted to kill him for the sake of the grand plan, he could not resist, not to mention that the Dark Moon Saint King only wanted him to play along.
"I understand that you must feel wronged and feel that you didn't do anything. Why should you accept such a punishment? But you must know that I can't afford to make any mistakes in my plan!"
Looking at the unhappy Young Lord Qing Ming, the Dark Moon Sage King said slowly, "Don't worry, as long as I take down the Monkey Clan and take the world in the flowing light, I will release you!
Once the Monkey Clan is gone, these small forces won't be able to cause any trouble. By then, I won't have to care about what they think! "
"Yes, Father."
Hearing this, Young Lord Qing Ming nodded.
In fact, he was still a little unwilling, but the Dark Moon Sage King had already put it this way. Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't refuse.
The Dark Moon Sage King nodded and didn't say much. He immediately ordered people to take Young Lord Qing Ming away. At the same time, he announced to the public that Young Lord Qing Ming was the murderer of Cloud Leopard. In order to express his apology to the Leopard Clan, he had already taken Young Lord Qing Ming into custody and locked him up in the Green Sanctuary Sect's prison. After taking down the Monkey Clan, he would publicly execute Young Lord Qing Ming as an apology to the Leopard Clan!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a thousand ripples.
After all, everyone knew that Young Lord Qing Ming was the Dark Moon Sage King's most beloved son. They didn't expect the Dark Moon Sage King to imprison his son and even execute him as an apology to the Leopard Clan for Cloud Leopard!
In an instant, many small forces submitted to the Green Sanctuary Sect. Although the four major forces understood that the Dark Moon Sage King did this to temporarily deal with the anger of the small and medium forces, they didn't dare to expose it. After all, the situation was stronger than the person. At this time, the Green Sanctuary Sect was already the trend. Even if they exposed it, they would only be asking for trouble.
This news also quickly spread to Lin Xiao's ears.
This made Lin Xiao's eyes flash with a touch of helplessness. He sighed and said to Yin-yang Master, "I didn't expect the Dark Moon Sage King to not only be talented in cultivation, but also be so decisive in his methods. He must have seen through our plan. That's why he pushed Young Lord Qing Ming out to appease the public's anger!"
"That's right!"
Hearing this, Yin-yang Master nodded in agreement. He said in disbelief, "Isn't it rumored that the Dark Moon Sage King loves his youngest son the most?
Now, in order to deal with the Monkey Clan, he is even willing to sacrifice his own son. This is too inhumane! "
"Sacrifice?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not necessarily true!
Right now, he's only imprisoning Young Lord Qing Ming and not killing him directly. He said that he would kill him after dealing with the Monkey Clan. But once the Monkey Clan is destroyed, the entire world in the flowing light will be under the control of the Green Sanctuary Sect. At that time, whether he wants to kill or not will be up to him! "
