The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly after Xiao Feng said this.
His confidants looked at Sun Yuanjie with suspicion.
Sun Yuanjie's confidants all knew that he had always disliked Xuan Yuanjian.
Even within the Tianyi Sect, one could often hear Sun Yuanjie reprimanding Xuan Yuanjian.
However, Sun Yuanjie has never been too extreme in his statements.
However, the reason why Xuanyuan Jian disappeared was indeed because he was not with Sun Yuanjie.
Even though Sun Yuanjie deliberately avoided mentioning this matter in the messages he sent back, his confidants knew in their hearts that if Xuan Yuanjian could not be found, Sun Yuanjie would indeed bear the primary responsibility.
"Moreover, your young sect leader also told me that Sun Yuanjie has always wanted his position. Sun Yuanjie believes that he is the senior disciple of Tianyi Sect and the eldest disciple of Tianyi Sect Master."
"If it weren't for the fact that Xuanyuan Jian is the Tianyi Sect Master's own son, he wouldn't have been able to sit in that position of young sect master at all. That position should have belonged to Sun Yuanjie. Sun Yuanjie usually thinks so too. Is that true or false?"
At this critical juncture, Xiao Feng actually asked his confidant about the internal situation of the Tianyi Sect.
The trusted aide naturally didn't want to air his dirty laundry in public, so he glanced at Sun Yuanjie beside him and didn't answer Xiao Feng's question.
The confidant replied coldly, "Don't waste your time here. Quickly tell us where you hid our young sect leader!"
Xiao Feng feigned urgency: "I asked you these questions so that you could find your young sect leader. You just need to tell me whether the questions I just asked are true or false!"
The confidant spoke impatiently: "So what if it's true? Are you going to say that he harmed our young sect leader?"
The confidant had only intended to mock Xiao Feng's strategy of stalling for time as inept.
Unexpectedly, after saying this, Xiao Feng actually nodded seriously and then said, "I already know Xuan Yuanjian's true identity."
"I know that if I were to attack him, I would inevitably incur the wrath of the Tianyi Sect. Why would I want to create such a big problem for myself?"
“You all know the Ming Cult’s current situation. I don’t need to provoke such an opponent for the Ming Cult. Besides, I don’t deny that we did have a big battle in that mountain forest.”
"But after your young sect leader and his followers realized they couldn't beat us, they used a trick to leave. Naturally, I couldn't chase after them, so I returned directly to the Ming Cult."
"Since your senior brother was able to describe Xuan Yuanjian's situation in such detail, is it possible that he found the injured Xuan Yuanjian, killed him, and then framed me?"
“In battle, swords and spears have no eyes. Your young sect leader was indeed injured, but I did not pursue him. Moreover, there are no other sects near our Ming Cult.”
“Even if Xuanyuan Jian was really injured, he must have the magical artifacts his father gave him. Unless it is someone he completely trusts, those magical artifacts he possesses are enough to ensure his safety.”
Although Xiao Feng's back was still being held by Sun Yuanjie's long sword.
But when Xiao Feng said these words, he was not worried at all that Sun Yuanjie would stab him to death in a fit of anger.
Moreover, upon closer examination, the situations Xiao Feng described are not entirely impossible.
“Since you have come to me, you must know my situation in the Ming Cult. I have no need to offend the Tianyi Sect, much less bring disaster upon the Ming Cult.”
"If Xuanyuan Jian is really in my hands, or if I really killed Xuanyuan Jian, before I knew his true identity, how could I not give myself away in front of him?"
"He didn't find your young sect leader in the Ming Cult, nor did he find any of your young sect leader's magical artifacts from me. Isn't that enough to prove that your young sect leader never fell into my hands?"
"He lured you here, making you mistakenly believe that I attacked your young sect leader. He just wanted to use you as a tool to kill me, so that I would die at your hands and bear the blame for harming your young sect leader."
“Killing your young sect leader would bring me nothing but offending the Tianyi Sect. But if he kills your young sect leader, no one in the entire Tianyi Sect will be able to compete with him for the position of young sect leader! Don’t you understand who the beneficiary is?”
After saying this, Xiao Feng quickly used his movement technique to move himself between Sun Yuanjie and his confidants.
Seeing Xiao Feng escape from his men, Sun Yuanjie immediately prepared to take action.
However, his trusted aides stopped Sun Yuanjie from making a move.
"Sun Yuanjie, is what Xiao Feng said true?" The confidant looked at Sun Yuanjie coldly.
Sun Yuanjie's status and position are indeed somewhat awkward.
They did not deny that Sun Yuanjie was indeed exceptionally talented and more suitable than Xuan Yuanjian to take the position of young sect leader.
Since the Sect Master of Tianyi Sect did not give the position of Young Sect Master to Sun Yuanjie, Sun Yuanjie was not qualified to compete for it.
If Sun Yuanjie really killed Xuan Yuanjian in order to obtain the Tianyi Sect, they must report this matter back to the Tianyi Sect.
We must let the sect leader know about Sun Yuanjie's wolfish ambitions.
Sun Yuanjie naturally noticed that the way his trusted confidants were looking at him was different now.
Sun Yuanjie was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
He went through so much trouble to finally capture Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng managed to persuade these fools with just a few words!
Sun Yuanjie explained, "I do have some disagreements with the young sect leader, but I would never lay a hand on him. Don't be fooled by this guy; he's cunning, this is definitely his trick."
“He was trying to sow discord. I had other tasks assigned to me by the sect leader. I did leave the young sect leader behind in order to complete those tasks as soon as possible. I also regret that I failed to protect the young sect leader.”
"But now is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves. We need to get the whereabouts of the young sect leader from him as soon as possible, instead of letting him incite us to kill each other with just a few words!"
Sun Yuanjie's words eased the suspicions in his confidant's heart a little.
However, Sun Yuanjie also had doubts and motives, and his confidants no longer trusted him as much as before.
After glaring fiercely at Sun Yuanjie, she had made up her mind.
Once he returns safely this time, he will definitely tell the sect leader about this matter.
Sun Yuanjie is a man with wolfish ambitions.
The sect leader must make preparations as soon as possible.
Sun Yuanjie naturally saw the meaning in his confidant's eyes, and he couldn't help but let a murderous intent flash in his eyes.
If Xuanyuan Jian is truly dead, then everyone present except him must die.
Xiao Feng must die, and so must these trusted confidants.
Having served the Tianyi Sect Master for so many years, Sun Yuanjie naturally knew what kind of person the Tianyi Sect Master was.
Xiao Feng's words will surely make the Tianyi Sect Master doubt himself.
If I want to sit in the position of young sect leader, I absolutely cannot have any stain on my record.
Only if everyone here dies will this matter not be pinned on him.
Otherwise, once these trusted confidants go back and spread rumors, his life in the Tianyi Sect will become even more difficult, and he absolutely cannot be soft-hearted.
