Lu Xianyun was just about to walk somewhere else to see this key figure here, but he found that he couldn't move at all!
This means that she is now fixed in this position to watch the show and cannot look around 360 degrees without any blind spots.
Not only that, she also found that her movements were out of control.
For example, she took two steps forward, getting closer to Sect Leader Bai. Then, she raised her hand to her head, as if taking off her hat.
Lu Xianyun reacted immediately.
Wasn't the action he just made the same as that performed by the hooded man who was standing here?
Someone sitting on a chair in the hall asked, "Master Bai, who is he? Why did you call him here?"
Sect Leader Bai pointed at Lu Xianyun—yes, the hooded man who was originally here—and said, "Masters, this is Cong Zhongxiao."
Lu Xianyun's heart moved.
That name again.
However, after hearing this name, the faces of all the leaders present changed drastically!
"Cong Zhongxiao? The genius disciple of your Lingxiao Sect?"
"But I heard that not long ago, that genius disciple failed in his ascension and tribulation, and died?"
"Master Bai, you can't assume that everyone will fail and won't be able to successfully transcend the tribulation just because one of your talented disciples failed!"
"Master Bai, you don't want immortals to appear in other sects anymore!"
Sect Leader Bai had no choice but to say to those around him, "Talk to the other sect leaders yourself!"
Lu Xianyun realized that his mouth began to speak uncontrollably, but the voice that came out was that of a man!
"My dear sect leaders, I am truly a laughing fool. I could have succeeded in transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven.
"I'm sure everyone already knows that when I was going through the tribulation, I thought the thunder tribulation was over, but for some reason, another thunderbolt appeared. Everyone thought I failed because I couldn't withstand this final thunderbolt.
"In fact, when a normal heavenly tribulation ends, the Heavenly Gate has already opened. I looked through the Heavenly Gate and saw some scenes from the Immortal Realm.
"We all thought that the fairyland was a beautiful place, but in fact, we were all wrong. It is simply hell for us cultivators!
"The immortals who have become immortals are not free and easy. In the immortal world, they are the lowest class of people, enslaved like cattle and horses!
“I have personally seen immortals pulling carts on the streets like animals!
“There are also some immortals huddled in the street corners. They are clearly immortals, but they look like beggars!
"We can't go to such a fairyland at all. It's better to be an ordinary cultivator than to be such a fairy!
"I don't know who enslaved us cultivators, but I know we can't send more people up there to serve those who enslave us!"
After these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Lu Xianyun was also shocked.
Are these...all true?
The fairyland...is it really such a place?
I was shocked in my heart, but my mouth continued to speak uncontrollably.
“I know that no one in the world of cultivation has discovered this secret for thousands of years. Our hard work day after day in cultivation is nothing more than providing high-level slaves to the upper realm.
"So, in order to tell everyone this secret, I had to do something that goes against the righteousness and morality of the cultivation world."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone stared at Lu Xianyun—no, the hooded man.
“Because the scene inside the Immortal Gate was so shocking, I even forgot to resist this extra heavenly tribulation and was struck by the lightning tribulation.
"But I must tell this secret to the world and prevent more people from being enslaved. So I... I took over the body of a cultivator and returned to the sect."
Everyone was shocked again!
How could they not know Ling Xiao Sect's prodigy, Cong Zhong Xiao? After all, he was incredibly famous. When Sect Master Bai first introduced this person, claiming he was Cong Zhong Xiao, they didn't believe him!
But I didn't expect that this person was actually a possessed person?
For a moment, everyone in the hall was speechless, looking at each other.
Cong Zhongxiao said quickly, "I know that what I did was unjust, but I had to tell everyone about it. So I returned to the sect and asked the sect master to gather all the sect leaders and pass on this matter!
"As long as I accomplish this, no matter what kind of punishment I receive afterwards, I will be willing to accept it!"
Cong Zhongxiao's words were sonorous and sincere.
He knew that his master believed in him, so he summoned the heads of other major sects.
Even Lu Xianyun wanted to believe him.
However, the people sitting in the hall seemed to be unconvinced by their expressions.
Sure enough, one of the leaders looked up and said to the crowd, "I think this is nonsense!"
"No one has ever seen the scene inside the Heavenly Gate before. How can anyone believe this? We cultivators have cultivated to become immortals and have become the top existences. How could we possibly be enslaved by others?
"Who will enslave us? The gods who created everything and then disappeared?"
Lu Xianyun noticed his lips moving, but before he could say anything, he heard someone else speak below.
"Isn't it? I think... something scandalous happened in the Lingxiao Sect, so they're just looking for an excuse to cover it up!"
"That's right. After all, Lingxiao Sect is the world's largest sect, but a genius disciple actually did something like taking over another's body. If we don't find an excuse, how can we silence the world's gossip?"
Perhaps because Lu Xianyun is now Cong Zhongxiao's identity, she can actually feel Cong Zhongxiao's mood.
Surprised and angry.
"Everything I said is true, absolutely true! If I was just afraid of death, and wanted to survive even without surviving the heavenly tribulation, so I used the method of possessing other bodies used by the devil, then I could just hide. Why would I appear before you, the leaders?"
Even Lu Xianyun nodded in his heart after hearing this.
That’s right, it makes a lot of sense!
But one person stood up and slammed the table!
"How shameless of you, Lingxiao Sect! You have done something despicable, and now you're trying to stop others from becoming immortals! I think you, Lingxiao Sect, have seen changes in the heavenly tribulation, and even the most outstanding disciples are unable to survive it, and are forced to steal other people's bodies to survive. So you're afraid that someone from the rest of our sects will pass the tribulation and become an immortal, surpassing you, and preventing your Lingxiao Sect from becoming the number one sect, so you resorted to this method!"
Now Lu Xianyun clearly felt that Sect Master Bai beside him was unhappy.
It is really chilling!
Someone escaped death and told you such important news, but not only did you not believe it, you also insisted on throwing dirty water on us. Who can be in a good mood like this?
