Wuliangshanren smiled faintly, but shed his usual sage-like appearance, revealing the majesty and imposing manner of the orthodox leader of the Xuanmen sect, and looked down at the man condescendingly:
"Master, do you think that without evidence, we can't find anything on you?"
The middle-aged man in the Taoist robe was very calm, his expression didn't waver at all, but he was slightly angry.
"If the mountain people are just accusing others of something, then I have nothing to say!"
Wuliangshanren slowly stood up.
As he moved, his aura rose inexplicably, becoming like a mountain, towering and insurmountable.
"You all forgot one thing."
Wuliangshan's expression became indifferent, a kind of indifference that regarded all things as straw dogs in the natural world.
He whispered,
"The reason I've been in this position for so many years is never because of my good temper."
Wuliangshanren is the strongest person in Xuanmen and the invisible master of Xuanmen. For many years, all major sects have basically followed his lead.
Are you convinced by the demeanor and broad-mindedness of Wuliangshanren?
Of course not.
Wuliangshan's rise to power was achieved through fighting all the way!
The cruelty of the Xuanmen fighting is beyond imagination, and people may die at any time!
The road that Wuliangshanren walked on was stained with the blood of countless Xuanmen geniuses!
And is he really a person without temper or personality?
Everyone present was shocked.
Suddenly, Wuliang Shanren rolled up his sleeves.
His Taoist robe, which looked plain and without any decoration, gradually lit up with magic patterns, and a huge force swept towards the middle-aged man in the Taoist robe like a tsunami!
Someone exclaimed on the spot: "It's the Imperial Master's robe!"
In feudal dynasties, the leader of the Xuanmen sect would often also serve as the imperial teacher of a dynasty, shouldering the fate of the dynasty.
Wuliangshanren's ordinary clothes were actually a magical tool made of silk fabric left behind by the previous dynasty's imperial master! They possessed immense power!
Wuliangshan just waved his hand lightly, without using any talismans or spells, and easily "sucked" the middle-aged man who was sitting steadily out of the chair!
The middle-aged man fell to the ground in a mess, and his high bun became messy, looking ridiculous.
The middle-aged man was the leader of a sect after all. He seemed to feel the gazes of his disciples falling on him. He was immediately filled with shame and anger, and immediately shouted at Wuliangshan:
"Mr. Wuliangshan! I salute you! Do you really think I, Zhao Yuanshan, am a vegetarian?"
Wuliangshanren remained unmoved and grabbed the air with his backhand.
The Taoist robe on Zhao Yuanshan suddenly burst open at the sleeves, revealing his skin as old as tree bark.
Everyone present held their breath and focused to see the marks on Zhao Yuanshan's body.
Zhao Yuanshan was dumbfounded. He never expected that the people from Wuliang Mountain would be so direct and brutal!
He would rather Wuliangshan beat him up directly than have his sleeves blown off and let everyone laugh at him!
After a few seconds of hesitation, Zhao Yuanshan suddenly remembered the secret hidden under his sleeves. It was too late to hide it now!
The man closest to him, who always hated evil and had a fiery temper, immediately slammed the table and stood up when he saw this:
"Zhao Yuanshan! How are you going to explain this?! The marks on your body are clearly the remnants of exposure to evil magic! How dare you, a righteous cultivator, collude with evil cultivators?"
Someone simply cast a spell to open their clairvoyance and observed Zhao Yuanshan's arm with the Qi-gazing technique:
"Such a strong evil aura, it seems Zhao Yuanshan has been researching evil methods for a long time."
Even those who knew Zhao Yuanshan turned away in disappointment and were unwilling to say a word to help him.
Zhao Yuanshan's face turned redder and redder.
He flew into a rage and shouted:
"Yes! I studied evil magic! So what? Even our ancestors said that all methods in the world have different paths but the same destination! I only delved into evil magic to find ways to control it! I've never used it to do anything bad!"
No one was moved.
Someone said, "Zhao Yuanshan, you might be able to fool the naive young disciples with these words, but do you think anyone here would believe you?"
Zhao Yuanshan's expression changed, but he knew it very well in his heart.
No one will believe it.
They are all respected elders in the Xuanmen sect, and everyone has his or her own understanding of Taoism.
How could he not know that righteous martial arts and evil martial arts are completely different things!
But Zhao Yuanshan still did not give up:
"...So what? What does this prove? The incident at that little ginseng spirit's home had nothing to do with me!"
Wuliangshan's sleeves fell down as he stood quietly:
"Your eldest disciple has been recruited."
Zhao Yuanshan's pupils suddenly constricted:
"Didn't he say that something unexpected happened to his family..."
Before he finished speaking, he understood.
It turns out that the eldest disciple's claim that his family was in trouble was just an excuse. The real reason was that he had been instigated and betrayed by Wuliangshan!
Zhao Yuanshan was furious for a moment, but the person he hated most was not Wuliangshan who had exposed him, but his eldest disciple whom he had raised!
"Where's he? Call him out! I raised him with so much hardship, and this is how he treats me?"
Wuliangshan was about to say something.
Suddenly a young disciple ran up to him and whispered a few words.
Wuliangshan's icy face couldn't help but move, and finally turned into a sigh.
He told Zhao Yuanshan:
"Your eldest disciple just committed suicide."
Zhao Yuanshan was stunned on the spot.
Wuliangshan said calmly:
"From what I understand, your eldest disciple accidentally got lost and was later adopted by you. But have you ever considered that he also has a background, parents, and siblings? Last month, while practicing evil, you killed a family in a mountain village. Those family members were your eldest disciple's biological parents and brother."
Zhao Yuanshan's face changed drastically, and he was speechless:
"I, I don't know..."
Wuliangshan looked down at him:
"We've known each other for sixty years, ever since you were a tender child. Your master also died in the battle between good and evil, and you taught your disciples to uphold righteousness. But what are you doing now? You've ruined your entire family's reputation for nothing, just for the sake of the word 'ascension'. Even your eldest disciple knows you're struggling for your beliefs. What about you? Have you ever regretted anything?"
Of course Zhao Yuanshan regretted it.
If he could go back to that day, he would never go to see that person...
"It's him. It's all his fault."
Zhao Yuanshan murmured.
Wuliangshan observed Zhao Yuanshan's frustration with amusement, and felt that this junior had indeed changed beyond recognition.
At this moment, everyone is subconsciously looking for faults in others.
But I never thought that what I should face most is my own heart.
Wuliangshan was too lazy to waste time with such a person, so he waved his sleeves and had Zhao Yuanshan taken away and locked up.
He knew that a selfish person like Zhao Yuanshan would never commit suicide.
So he didn't worry, sat down again and looked around.
The hall was completely silent.
Wuliangshan people use thunderous methods to casually reveal the true face of people they know. What should they do? (End of this chapter)
