The scene fell into an extremely strange silence for a while.
Duan Dao looked at Nie Mingkang's profile and was shocked. Why hadn't he noticed before that his colleague had such a vicious side?
Wei Lesheng frowned slightly as he looked at Ying Changfeng, who was obviously confused in the main seat.
On the surface, Nie Mingkang was trying to exonerate Qianxing Palace and show goodwill, but in reality, he was using the banner of goodwill to throw dirty water on Wanjian Sect and wash away the credit for eliminating the strange land so that he could continue to harass them.
Anyone present with eyesight could see through this despicable trick, but to many people present, the truth was not important.
What’s important is that the knife that Nie Mingkang handed over is extremely good, enough for them to take advantage of the situation and gain the greatest benefits for themselves.
Sure enough, the next moment, Fengyue Sect's Zuo Jing sneered and said, "Deputy Palace Master Nie's words are not without reason. Sect Master Ying, you want to get away with the matter of the strange land by throwing out a fragment whose details you don't know. You are really underestimating our five major sects.
"Why haven't you mentioned the key to the mysterious killing in the strange place, and the mysterious person you mentioned? What's the trick behind this? Tell the truth!"
Yin Tiannu also curled his lips into a smile and echoed, "Or is it that Sect Master Ying is really like what Vice Palace Master Nie said, colluding with the Underworld and staging this whole thing himself, so that the five major sects will trust you and use your method to break the strange land, but in reality, you are letting the five major sects step into a trap that was set long ago?"
Ying Changfeng's face turned pale, "If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext! My Wanjian Sect was trapped in a strange place and barely escaped death. But in the eyes of you powerful sects, it's become a crime?
Since you all are unwilling to believe our words, why don't you just leave now? From now on, our Wanjian Sect will close its doors and no one can leave!"
"How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
A fierce light flashed in Zuo Jing's eyes, "Traitor, you deserve to die!"
Ying Changfeng was so angry that his whole body was shaking. "My Wanjian Sect has never colluded with the Underworld! I can swear!"
Nie Mingkang said sarcastically, "Master Ying, you were hesitant a few days ago, and now you're thinking of swearing an oath. It's obvious that you're feeling guilty and have made some preparations. Even the oath of the Heavenly Dao can be broken. Dong Jinghuan is an example."
Broken Blade followed closely behind, "Master Ying, I advise you to reveal the person behind this. Your Wanjian Sect is a small sect, and the Underworld will probably not take it seriously. There must be someone behind this. At most, your Wanjian Sect has been deceived. Just reveal the origins of that mysterious person, and you can avoid the death penalty!"
“…”
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
After hearing this, she finally understood what the two people in the Incense Hall were planning. It turned out that their real target was not the Wanjian Sect, but they wanted to lure her out and get rid of her as soon as possible.
Just as she had a fight with Mo Zhu in the strange land, the incense hall wanted to silence her the next moment. It was hard not to think too much.
But why does the incense hall do this?
What good could they gain from the massive invasion of Dongzhou by the Earthly Underworld? Even if they were previously independent cultivators, being recruited into the Incense Hall would make their lives much better than before, and they should be even more precious.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's eyes suddenly fixed.
No, that's not right.
There is another possibility.
Her mind suddenly changed, and she focused her attention on Duan Dao and Nie Mingkang.
There were many disciples in this scene, and their sight was focused on the church. The latter two did not notice anything unusual and were still forcing Ying Changfeng. The situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Wanjian Sect.
In a moment, Xiang Sheng was shocked and his face changed slightly.
Broken Knife's aura was ordinary and nothing could be seen; Nie Mingkang also felt the same at first glance, but if she sensed it more carefully, Xiang Sheng actually discovered a breath that she was very familiar with.
That was Yuan's aura. Nie Mingkang's method of concealing himself was actually the Breath Concealment Technique?!
Xiang Sheng was in a state of tension. The corner of the "Deceiving Heaven" array was her biggest secret. Although the breath-concealing technique was given to her intentionally by a mysterious old man in the ancient city, it was extremely difficult to solve. If she had not fallen off the cliff and found the secret room in her early years, she would never have been able to solve it.
Where did the opponent's breath-holding technique come from? Was the energy used the rest of the formation disk?
Many thoughts flashed through Xiang Sheng's mind, and then he thought of something else, and his eyes lit up instantly.
wrong!
If it was really a breath-concealing technique, the concealment should be extremely perfect, so how could she easily see the flaw?
Although this method of concealing breath is somewhat extraordinary, it is at most a hybrid, a cat in a tiger's image. For her, it is easy to crack.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng immediately came up with a plan in his mind and secretly sent a message to Ying Changfeng.
At this moment, Ying Changfeng had already been driven to despair. Suddenly, he heard the long-awaited voice again, which was like the sound of nature. The burning anger in his heart was like being poured with a basin of ice water, cooling him down to the bone.
He took a deep breath, sat down in the main seat again, coughed lightly, interrupted Nie Mingkang, and said, "Things have come to this point now. I don't want to hide it anymore. I will tell you the truth."
"Master Ying, he who knows the current situation is a hero."
Broken Blade laughed heartily, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? Why did you need us to force you?"
Ying Changfeng didn't even look at Broken Knife and said directly, "The mysterious person fabricated the matter of the strange land."
The smile on Duan Dao's face disappeared completely in an instant, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Master Ying, are you really not afraid of death?"
"Broken Knife, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious?"
Ying Changfeng glanced at him coldly and snorted, "The one who resolved the crisis for our sect was our sect's Grand Elder, who has been in seclusion for a long time and has not been out in public!"
After hearing this, Duan Dao's face darkened even further. "Nonsense! Where did your Wanjian Sect get this Supreme Elder? If such a person really existed, why didn't he come forward earlier?"
"The Grand Elder is already very old, and he was extremely reluctant to take action this time. If it weren't for the fact that our sect was facing a life-or-death situation, the elder would not have made an exception."
