Chapter 454: Rumors Spread

In just three days, the news about the sect spread.

Xu Chengcheng stood in front of Tao Zi and said in a serious tone, "The cultivator committed evil and massacred the sect and innocent mortals. I have issued a hunting order."

Zhou Qiandan frowned and said, "Didn't they say that sect was the evil one? How could the Minglan Sect be deceived?"

Li Xiu chuckled and said, "The Minglan Sect has not been deceived."

Everyone looked at each other.

After realizing what was happening, Zhou Qiandan decisively led the monks out.

Yue Qingya looked at Tao Zi with a sullen face and asked, "Xing Wen and the others witnessed the sudden increase in the strength of those people. Does anyone have an answer to this question?"

Tao Zi leaned back in her chair, holding a glass of peach juice, and said lazily, "Lian Qingzhou's answer is that the sudden increase in strength is the result of some kind of martial arts, not some evil practice."

Yue Qingya slammed the table with a cold face: "Black and white are reversed, really black and white are reversed!"

She rarely saw this man like this, so she took another look and said, "In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected."

The little fox curled up in a chair and said, "Weren't you a casual cultivator before? You should be used to this kind of thing by now."

Tao Zi smiled and said, "He lives a more comfortable life than the sect disciples."

Cheng Wuchou's expression was also indifferent, his attention completely focused on another angle: "Is this useful?"

She said, "Unless the Sword Sect agrees to let Wang Xu speak out, it will be of little use. Based on just a few words from others, who would believe that a dignified Heavenly Venerable would collaborate with a demonic cultivator? In the end, the person who spoke out would be the one being smeared."

Cheng Wuchou sighed lightly and said, "That can only be put aside for the time being."

"Not necessarily. As long as the people being slandered aren't you or me, that's fine. As for whether the world believes it or not... that's not a big deal. Even if public opinion doesn't believe it, there will always be one or two stubborn people who will. Just consider it a seed."

Tao Zi smiled very brightly, so brightly that the little fox turned its eyes away, unable to bear to watch.

Cheng Wuchou seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and said, "That's right, there are many independent and unique people."

Yue Qingya was confused watching from the side.

Two days later in the afternoon, Lian Qingzhou received a medicine to nourish the spirit veins. He smiled and waved towards He Feicheng, saying, "Feicheng, please take this to Second Senior Brother."

He Feicheng lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes. I am truly envious of Second Senior Brother for receiving such care from Junior Senior Sister."

Lian Qingzhou's smile deepened as he said, "Follow me closely, and your results won't be bad either."

"yes."

He rushed to Lan Yongji's residence with the thing in his hand, feeling relieved.

After two days, I finally found an opportunity to go find this person openly.

When he arrived there, he heard angry curses coming from the room: "I didn't ask you for help, so why should I care if you're in pain? And you're wasting your time complaining to me with the photo ball. Do you think I have nothing to do?"

A sneer flashed in He Feicheng's eyes. He raised his hand and knocked on the door gently. The angry cursing inside immediately disappeared.

"Come in."

He walked in with his head lowered, presented the item to Lan Yongji, and said, "Second Senior Brother, this is what Junior Senior Sister asked me to bring. She said it can warm up the spirit veins."

Lan Yongji looked at the medicine with a gloomy face, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked He Feicheng: "Get out!"

He Feicheng groaned and took several steps back before regaining his balance.

He bent down and said yes. The moment he raised his body, a mirror suddenly appeared in his hand, shining directly at Lan Yongji.

Lan Yongji's expression gradually became confused.

Tao Zi received the news soon.

She smiled and made a move, saying, "Brother, it's done. Wait and see what happens."

Cheng Wuchou smiled gently, as if talking about a friend, and said, "What do you think Xu Qianjia will choose this time? Will he choose a master whose heart is not on his side, or a useless junior brother?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it's not good for him."

They both laughed. Cousin Jiao'er, who was not far away, shook herself and said, "Cousin, this brother and sister look more like foxes than we do."

The little fox wagged its tail and said lazily, "Humans are always cunning. You'll just get used to it."

Ten days later, Lan Yongji went to a tavern to drink with friends. Halfway through, he smashed his glass and cursed, "What Qinglan Tianzun? He's just a villain who framed his apprentice and colluded with the demon cultivators!"

The friend was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the cup steady. One of the monks who was still calm said, "Brother Lan, you are drunk."

He said dazedly, "That's right. The person who met with the aliens at that time was clearly Lian Qingzhou. In order to protect Lian Qingzhou, he pushed the blame onto Yue Qiran. To prevent any further complications, he rushed to convict Yue Qiran within three days! And the sect that was massacred was clearly full of demonic cultivators, yet he called them innocent. This is what the so-called Heavenly Venerable is!"

The more he talked about it, the more he hated her. The more he talked about it, the more unscrupulous he became: "He can help Lian Qingzhou repair his spiritual veins but not me. Isn't it just to gain resources for that bitch Lian Qingzhou? A dignified Tianzun would go to such lengths. I don't know what benefits he received from her!"

The monks looked at each other, then stood up and walked outside without any hesitation.

The monks with sharp ears downstairs were more shocked than each other, and their eyes all looked strange.

These words spread across the continent like the wind in just one day.

Lan Yongji lay in the restaurant like dead and did not wake up for a long time.

Xu Qianjia kicked open the door with a dark face, panting and asked someone to drag him back.

He Qianyi followed beside him and wanted to say something good for the second senior brother, but in the end she moved her lips and fell silent.

At this time, the area near the restaurant had been cleared, leaving only people from the main peak of Minglan Sect.

Xu Qianjia said tiredly, "Why is Yongji so ignorant?"

He Qianyi whispered, "Maybe Master is too cold-hearted."

He looked even more tired, and finally he could only say, "Forget it, don't mention it again."

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Old Xu appeared before him, staring at him intently and asking, "Is what Lan Yongji said true? Was Yue Qiran really framed?"

Xu Qianjia stood there, closed his eyes, with a look of helplessness and sadness on his face, and said, "Old Xu, this is Minglan Sect, please don't embarrass me."

Old Xu turned around and looked in the direction of Qinglan Tianzun. He was obviously a Tianzun, so how could he use such despicable means?

Qing Lan also received the news. He appeared in front of Lian Qingzhou with a sullen face and said, "I told you long ago to quickly deal with Xu Qianjia and the others. You said they were just for fun and refused to take action. Now we're in this situation!"

Lian Qingzhou's expression remained unchanged. He even bit into a peach and said with a smile, "Qinglan, you are the Heavenly Lord. Why do you care about these rumors? You have been put down for no reason."

Rumors spread and various short articles were written.

Some people firmly believe that Tianzun is not wrong, and it is Lan Yongji who is talking nonsense just because he holds a grudge against his master; others begin to doubt everything and come up with various conspiracy theories.
