The disciples of Tianyu Sect are protesting their innocence.
Although they were protesting their innocence and didn't present any substantial evidence, it must be said that their analysis was very thorough.
No matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with them.
Elder Fu nodded secretly, then looked at the God Emperors of the Demon and Monster races and said, "Fellow Daoists, you have all heard it. This matter is indeed unrelated to our human race. It is the work of spies who want to sow discord among the three races of my Jade Dragon Heaven."
Unfortunately, neither the demons nor the monsters bought into this.
Immediately, a God Emperor retorted, "Words are meaningless, and there is no concrete evidence. Brother Fu, do you intend to fob us off with these?"
Elder Fu, barely suppressing his anger, suddenly roared, "Then what else do you want?"
He couldn't help but feel angry.
He had been suppressing his raging anger after the fall of God Emperor Han Bing, but then he suffered a humiliation at the hands of Lu Tao, which led to the tragic deaths of hundreds of God Emperor disciples. At this moment, his heart was not only filled with uncontrollable rage, but also boiling with murderous intent.
If it weren't for the fact that both the demon and monster races had suffered heavy losses, and that he didn't want to escalate the matter or delay Lu Tao's affairs, he wouldn't have suppressed his anger.
Tianyu Sect is the heaven of Yulong Heaven!
What right do these mere demon and monster races have to cause trouble at Tianyu Sect?
In the past, given his temper, he wouldn't have bothered with any nonsense; if they didn't listen to explanations, he would have resorted to forceful suppression.
Do you think you can rebel, you mere demons?
Once the gun is fired at the head, the rest of the demons will naturally scatter.
A demon chuckled, "Brother Fu, that's not right. What do you mean, 'what do we want'? We just want to know the truth!"
Elder Fu said in a deep voice, "The matter of the secret realm has nothing to do with my Tianyu Sect, nor with my human race. This... is the truth!"
"Hehe, Brother Fu, do you even believe that yourself?"
The demon celestial horse chuckled, then said coldly, "The footage records everything clearly, even the aura and bloodline of your human race. They were the ones hunting down my demon and celestial races. You say this has nothing to do with your Tianyu Sect? Nothing to do with your human race?"
Elder Fu looked over coldly and said in a similarly cold voice, "Brother Dao, don't try to change the subject. What I'm saying is irrelevant. It's about the rumor circulating in Yulong Heaven that the human race is going to destroy the demons. Neither my Tianyu Sect nor the human race has such a plan."
"As I always say, words are no proof!"
Pegasus sneered, "But we have footage of you hunting down the demon and monster races."
"Why must you confuse this particular case with a few isolated examples, fellow Daoist?"
Elder Fu said angrily, "You know perfectly well that in any secret realm, it is common for humans to hunt demons and for demons to hunt humans. Why do you insist on mixing these things with the affairs of the secret realm?"
"Really? How come I didn't know that?"
Pegasus snorted coldly, its aura surging wildly, appearing even more furious than Elder Fu. It roared, "Well, now I realize that in your human race's mind, hunting demons is perfectly normal, but my demon race has never done such a thing."
"Even my demon race doesn't have that!"
"Hmph, so humans can hunt down my demon race at will. Hehe, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing."
"Hmph, in that case, the recent events in the secret realm do have some clues."
"So this is a tradition of the human race. The human race must give an explanation to my demon race and my monster race for this matter!"
...
As soon as Tianma finished speaking, the other demon gods and emperors echoed his words.
This was something the three clans kept quiet about, something they never discussed openly. What surprised them was that Elder Fu had somehow brought it up. It was truly unexpected.
But this gave them another reason to be angry.
The other human god emperors looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this.
It was such a simple thing, so why did it suddenly turn out like this?
For a moment, everyone looked at Elder Fu with concern.
They could also tell that Elder Fu's mood was a bit off today, and he seemed to be quite angry.
This shouldn't be happening.
Elder Fu is a God Emperor, and a late-stage God Emperor at that. How could he not suppress his mere anger?
They didn't understand what had happened to Elder Fu.
But at the same time, a guess quietly emerged in their minds.
Could it be... that Elder Fu was behind all of this?
It's no wonder they suspected this; Elder Fu was indeed acting very strangely.
But reason tells them that this is unlikely!
This is such a contradiction!
"Brother Fu, please calm down. What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Fu, calm down, don't act impulsively!"
"Fellow Daoists, our Jade Dragon Heaven has always been harmonious. Please calm down and take a moment to cool off!"
"Gentlemen, don't fall into the trap of the spies! If we get angry and something irreversible happens, we'll let the spies succeed!"
"Yes, calm down, fellow cultivators!"
...
The twelve human god emperors immediately acted as peacemakers, trying to persuade both sides to avoid conflict.
However, neither the demon nor the monster race intended to let the matter pass so easily.
Pegasus bared his teeth and glared at the twelve human god emperors, angrily saying, "Hmph, don't pretend to be a good person. Since hunting demons is a common occurrence in your human race's past actions, then this matter in the secret realm must be the work of your human race."
"..."
The twelve God Emperors opened their mouths but remained silent, and couldn't help but cast resentful glances at Elder Fu.
original.
Judging from the attitudes of the demon and monster races, they don't seem to intend to pursue this matter too much. They probably just want Elder Fu to express his stance so that the demon and monster races can gain some verbal advantage, or perhaps they want to ask for some true dragon blood.
But Elder Fu was just like the rules of the Fire Path, igniting at the slightest touch.
His anger is not the problem; what should have been an easily solvable issue has suddenly taken a turn for the worse, causing the matter to spiral out of control.
"Brother Fu..."
The white-haired elder of the human race was about to continue speaking when Elder Fu waved his hand to interrupt him. He rubbed his temples and said somewhat irritably, "Alright, you are all God Emperors. Don't you understand the current situation in Jade Dragon Heaven? Don't you know what's going on? Do you really want to have a big argument with me in this hall?"
"Fu Mingyuan, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to resolve this matter? I may or may not be able to say..."
Tianma's face was gloomy, and he glared at Elder Fu with a frosty expression.
As a result, Elder Fu interrupted Tianma, who was somewhat tired, and waved his hand, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and just say it. What do you want? I don't have time to waste with you."
He really didn't want to waste any more time here because of the fallen God-King and God-Emperor.
Continuing to argue is completely pointless.
He knew why these God Emperors had come; they were definitely after the true dragon bloodline of the desolate region, something that had happened frequently in the past.
This time, the timing was brought forward, and the matter of the secret realm gave them an excuse.
But Miao Yi has already perished, so Elder Fu naturally cannot agree to anything.
He now focuses most of his attention on Lu Tao.
"..."
These words not only surprised the God Emperors of the Demon and Monster races, but even the God Emperor of the Human race was puzzled by Elder Fu's perfunctory attitude.
This is not the right attitude to solve a problem.
Tianma's gaze darkened as he looked at Elder Fu, and he continued in a cold voice, "Heh, wasting time? Wasting what time? Wasting your human race's plan to continue dealing with my demon and monster races? Or wasting your cultivation time, Elder Fu?"
"Hahaha……"
Elder Fu suddenly burst into laughter, appearing to have lost control. He laughed loudly, "How ridiculous, how ridiculous! With just a few hundred images, you dare to question my Tianyu Sect about whether it intends to annihilate the demon and monster races? I never imagined that the demon and monster god emperors of my Yulong Heaven would be such fools."
“Fu Mingyuan…”
The demon and monster god emperors were furious, but Elder Fu ignored them completely and continued to sneer: "The enemy's simple plan to sow discord has caused our Jade Dragon Heaven's god emperors to quarrel endlessly. If the plan were more detailed and more perfect, wouldn't our Jade Dragon Heaven be plunged into complete internal strife?"
"Six hundred images are nothing. It's just the killing of six hundred God-Kings. What's the big deal? Every expedition to the secret realm results in heavy casualties. Does the death of these six hundred demons prove that the other demons were also killed by our human race?"
"Fine, then produce the evidence!"
"You dare to challenge me without any evidence? Does that mean that those human god-kings who perished in the secret realm were hunted down by your demon race?"
"Um?"
"Should I suspect that your demon and monster races are plotting to exterminate the human race? Shouldn't my Tianyu Sect demand an explanation from you?"
"ah?"
Elder Fu's voice grew louder and louder, his anger rising as he continued to berate, "As the leaders of various powers and races, you are all powerful God Emperors who have lived for countless years. Instead of investigating the truth yourselves, you believe everything you hear and come to my Tianyu Sect to demand an explanation, deepening the conflict between us. Don't you have brains?"
These words made a group of demons and gods bulge with anger, but Elder Fu did not stop, nor did he give them a chance to speak.
He continued, "The spies of Yulongtian only target God-Kings and God-Emperors, and their cultivation and strength are clearly not strong. As God-Emperors, each of you could easily investigate a region, but what was the result?"
"You do nothing but come to my Tianyu Sect. Does my Tianyu Sect owe you anything? If you have the guts, go and demand an explanation from my Tianyu Sect Master. Do you dare?"
"You want to annihilate both the demon and monster races? Don't you even use your brains? If my Tianyu Sect wanted to destroy you, would we need to go through all this trouble? Are the saints of my Tianyu Sect just for show?"
"Believe it or not, if the sect leader releases the threat of annihilation, not only can he withdraw from the battlefield, but even two saints of the same rank from the Heavenly Court and the Dao Palace will be willing to lend a hand."
Seeing the silence of the demon gods, Elder Fu softened his tone and said, "Yulongtian belongs to our three races, and it does not belong to the human race alone. We are targeting the ascendants, not other races. For countless years, our three races have been able to live in peace. Why can't we do it now? Do you really want our three races to go to war?"
"..."
The Emperor of Gods remained silent.
Although Elder Fu's words were somewhat unpleasant, belittling both the demon and monster races and deviating from their original intention of coming to Tianyu Sect to demand an explanation.
But I must say, Elder Fu is right!
A sage is like heaven, capable of ruling over everything!
As long as no Saint-level experts emerge from either the demon or monster races, the Heavenly Universe Sect will always have the final say in Jade Dragon Heaven, requiring no further calculations.
However, after Elder Fu's scolding, the two God Emperors were somewhat embarrassed.
We are all God Emperors, and we were just here to go through the motions, to give the Tianyu Sect a piece of our mind, and to discuss related matters. Why did we suddenly get a lecture for no reason?
Therefore.
Tianma stubbornly said, "Although this matter is indeed a bit strange, and it may not be the work of the human race, in just half a month, more than 600 cases of humans hunting demons have occurred in the ten or so secret realms that have been opened. And these are only the ones that have been discovered. Who knows how many more have not been discovered? Elder Fu, do you really think this is normal?"
Before Elder Fu could speak, Tianma continued, "As you said, our three clans have always lived in peace in Yulong Heaven, but how many dark and unknown things have been going on behind the scenes? If it weren't for these, wouldn't our three clans be even better off?"
“Brother Dao, I also know the benefits of peaceful coexistence, but to be honest, it’s not realistic. In the secret realm, it’s normal for you to kill me and me to kill you.”
Elder Fu glanced at the celestial horse and continued, "Don't even mention how many times humans hunt demons, how many times demons devour humans, how many times humans intercept and kill humans, and how many times demons devour other demons."
"Quite a few!"
"This is all normal, it has nothing to do with race, it's all about interests."
Elder Fu continued, “Everyone here started from a lower level and knows the risks of entering the secret realm. I believe you have warned your fellow disciples not to cause trouble. I have done the same. But when it comes to their martial arts, what choice will they ultimately make in the face of huge benefits? I believe you know the answer to that as well.”
Elder Fu would never make any promises that the human race would not fight against demons in the future.
That's simply unrealistic.
He cannot back down even a step over such trivial matters. If he backs down once, he will do it a second time and countless times. It's the same principle as ceding territory, paying reparations, betrayal, and forgiveness.
Either we refuse to back down completely, or we back down to the very end!
Elder Fu chose the former.
"..."
Pegasus chose to remain silent.
Indeed, for the sake of profit and martial arts, they would scheme against not only other races, but also their own kind, relatives, and friends, let alone others.
Ultimately, these images circulating in Yulongtian are nothing more than putting the intrigue and scheming among cultivators into the open. Such things have existed in the past, but they were not as obvious.
To say that this could be related to the human race's annihilation of the demon race is indeed a bit far-fetched.
They understand this too!
However, Elder Fu's handling of the matter greatly displeased both the demon and monster races, who wanted to use it to demand some true dragon blood.
They won't give up until they achieve their goal.
Tianma said indifferently, "In the end, we still cannot prevent this from happening, nor can we prove that this was not done by humans."
This statement is actually a bit of sophistry.
"well!"
Elder Fu sighed inwardly, then said with a gloomy face, "If we follow your logic, can the accidental death of my sect's Divine Emperor Han Bing also be attributed to the demon race?"
"...What? Han Bing has perished?"
"How is this possible? How could she, a mid-stage God Emperor, possibly perish?"
"When did Han Bing die?"
...
All the God Emperors present were shocked and stood up, looking at Elder Fu in astonishment, their faces full of disbelief. Even Tianma was like that.
Among them, reporters who had access to Han Bing's communication channels began to contact Han Bing to verify whether what Elder Fu said was true or false.
result--
Click click click!
The sound of more than twenty marks collapsing echoed in the hall one after another, instantly making the entire hall so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
At that moment, all the powerful figures in the hall were stunned.
The same applies to the God Emperor, and also to the disciples of the God Kings and God Sovereigns.
Especially those God Emperors, even though they had verified the truth of the matter, still found it hard to believe that it was real.
It's unbelievable, and it's absurd.
The God Emperor is incredibly powerful, having already touched upon the essence of the Dao; such an existence cannot easily perish.
For countless billions of years, no god-emperor has ever fallen in Yulong Heaven.
Now, however, they have learned that Han Bing has perished.
This matter is of paramount importance to the entire Yulongtian, and they cannot afford to be careless.
The next moment, the god emperors of the demon and monster races hurriedly distanced themselves from the matter.
"Elder Fu, you can't say such things carelessly. Fellow Daoist Han's demise has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, if you hadn't brought it up, we wouldn't have known about it at all."
"Elder Fu, please don't make false accusations!"
...
Upon hearing these words, both the demon and monster god emperors frowned.
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Then, in an instant, they realized that these were the very words that the human god-kings had used to defend themselves.
Unexpectedly, they said it in just a short while.
This made them feel wronged.
and.
Unlike them who directly wronged the human race, Elder Fu only raised the matter and did not say that Han Bing's death was related to the demon race. As a result, they wanted to tear themselves apart to clear their names.
This shows how aggrieved the human race was when they were wronged.
The reason for this actually lies in Han Bing's cultivation level.
A mid-stage God Emperor is a rare and exceptional level of cultivation among the human, demon, and monster races. The fall of any one of them would be a tremendous blow to them.
They truly never expected that Han Bing of the Tianyu Sect would perish.
They didn't even realize it.
The human god emperor was also deeply shocked, his mind buzzing. Han Bing was a powerful figure of the celestial race.
Elder Fu said in a deep voice, "Han Bing died half a month ago. I have been investigating this matter recently and have made some progress. It has nothing to do with your demon race."
The news of Han Bing's death was bound to come out sooner or later, so Elder Fu didn't try to hide it.
Now that this matter can be used to resolve the conflict between the two races, it can be considered the last thing Han Bing did for the human race and for the Tianyu Sect.
"Half a month ago... if you calculate the time, it was almost exactly the time when the god kings of my demon and monster races were slaughtered in the secret realm."
"Could it be that Han Bing's demise was also the work of a spy?"
"No way? That spy is that strong? Able to kill a mid-stage God Emperor?"
"To be able to kill Han Bing silently, that's some skill..."
"Then how are we supposed to investigate?"
...
All the God Emperors were utterly shocked.
They initially thought it was just a simple provocation, targeting only the God King and God Emperor. However, they now discovered that a mid-stage God Emperor had already perished half a month ago.
This made them, who were initially not very concerned, suddenly tense.
Most of the God Emperors present were below the late stage of God Emperor, at most about the same strength as Han Bing.
This means that if the murderer who killed Han Bing were to target them, they would likely be unable to withstand it, given their strength.
Elder Fu comforted him, "Don't worry, one of the murderers, who was also a mid-stage God Emperor, has already been killed by Han Bing, and the other one will soon be caught as well."
Elder Fu glanced at the assembled emperors and added, "What I want to say is that the recent events at Yulongtian were orchestrated by spies. It was likely a scheme to save another murderer, so don't fall for it and don't lose your composure."
Upon hearing this, all the gods nodded silently.
At this moment, the god emperors of the demon and monster races had no other thoughts but to find the traitor as soon as possible, otherwise, the two races might suffer even greater losses.
If a God Emperor were to fall, it would be absolutely unacceptable for both races.
Tianma immediately asked, "Brother Fu, do you know any distinguishing features of the other murderer, or is there anything we can do to help?"
They also wanted to do their part to find the traitor as soon as possible.
Elder Fu shook his head and said, "No need. I've almost finished dealing with this matter. You just need to find Yu Longtian's spies. Don't give them any more opportunities to take advantage of the situation. I will also ask the Third Elder to come and help."
"good!"
"I will immediately issue the order to mobilize the clansmen to investigate the spies!"
"We must find him, avenge Fellow Daoist Han, and avenge the countless disciples who have perished!"
