As a top-tier noble, even without deliberately displaying his power, the aura behind every word Qin Zhaohou spoke was terrifying. Not to mention that Lin Sanmo and the others were unable to explain it, even those who wanted to argue for Shen Qian were speechless at this moment.
Having been repeatedly reprimanded by Qin Zhaohou, Shen Qian lost the will to argue and simply stood there indifferently, watching coldly from the sidelines.
This scene surprised many kings and nobles. Regardless of the truth, Chen Qian showed no panic when facing the domineering Qin Zhaohou.
This calm and composed demeanor alone surpasses that of countless others.
"Lord Zhao of Qin, Shen Qian was not lying, Fang Fan does indeed have a problem."
While countless people at the scene were discussing Qin Zhaohou's questioning, Wu Wei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
How do you know?
Even Qin Ba restrained his anger when facing Wu Wei, and asked coldly.
“I just reviewed the information of all the martial artists who participated in the Nine Heavens Competition. Fang Fan is an orphan who came from a martial arts college in a small seaside town. He was previously unknown and was suddenly recommended to Southeast Martial Arts University on the eve of the Nine Heavens Competition, which gave him the qualification to participate.”
Wu Wei explained.
Many people fell silent. On the surface, such a resume seemed to reveal nothing. However, anyone familiar with the Chinese martial arts system knew that the biggest problem was that it was impossible to see any issues.
With the vast majority of martial arts resources controlled by the government and the welfare system for martial artists so comprehensive, it is almost impossible for so-called geniuses to be buried in society today.
No matter how talented someone is, they still need to buy elixirs, use martial arts simulators, and have powerful martial artists to guide them, right?
This is a martial arts advancement system that is destined to be anything but low-key.
Not to mention a genius of Fang Fan's caliber!
However, there was no prior record of Fang Fan; it was as if he appeared out of thin air, which must indicate a problem.
"Who recommended him?" Marquis Zhao of Qin asked, frowning.
"Marquis Tuodong".
Wu Wei uttered three words lightly, but they instantly stirred up a storm in the hearts of many kings and nobles.
The many martial artists below watched as Wang Hou's expression changed drastically, filled with both curiosity and bewilderment.
When Wu Wei spoke, he blocked out the sounds coming from below, so they had no idea what he said.
"Furthermore, the restoration of the Nine Heavens Battlefield was a joint effort by all the kings and marquises, while the construction of the Seven Heavens Battlefield was the responsibility of Marquis Tuodong."
Wu Wei dropped another bombshell.
All the princes and nobles had solemn expressions.
When these two points are corroborated, a very frightening fact emerges.
If Fang Fan is indeed a spy for the Spirit Witch Clan, then Marquis Tuodong himself is not clean either.
"In the more than two hundred years since the spiritual energy revival, this is the first time I have heard of a king or noble betraying his clan. Minister Wu, this matter needs to be handled with utmost care."
"It's Marquis Yidao speaking," he said.
"This matter still requires the intervention of King Zhouyi. If we can find Marquis Tuodong, we can bring him back to the Council of Kings and Marquises, and the truth will naturally come to light."
Wu Wei nodded and cupped his hands in greeting towards the area shrouded in mist at the royal seats.
This involves a top-ranking noble. If Marquis Tuodong really has a problem, ordinary nobles wouldn't have the ability to deal with him. Only King Zhouyi would be the most suitable to take action.
"Can."
After a brief silence, the voice of King Zhouyi came from within the mist.
Shen Qian was also secretly surprised. He did not expect that Fang Fan, or rather No. 56, had a king standing behind him.
But then I thought about it again, and that was the only way to explain everything. If there were no kings or nobles covering for them, how could Number 56 have tampered with things in the Nine Heavens Battlefield?
"So, Minister Wu, are you telling us that this whole thing was orchestrated by Fang Fan and Tuo Donghou, and that Shen Qian is completely innocent in this matter?"
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly broke in, causing everyone to look up.
The man in the white suit, standing atop the ferocious beast, spoke calmly: "Shen Qian, I have a question for you. When you were in the Sixth Heaven, did you harbor murderous intent towards Wu Yi?"
"Yes, but..."
Shen Qian frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that after dealing with Qin Zhaohou, Lieguhou would start making trouble again. However, just as he was about to argue, he was interrupted once more.
"Did you kill Wu Yi's natal demon beast?"
"yes."
Shen Qian calmed down inexplicably and said calmly.
"Even if Fang Fan attacked him, how could his natal demon beast have perished if it were still alive?"
Only then did Marquis Gao Zhengjie, known as the Fierce Bone Marquis, finally speak his true thoughts.
As silence fell, Shen Qian looked up at Lie Gu Hou.
"You're right."
Shen Qian's words surprised everyone, even Lie Gu Hou himself. But then, Shen Qian changed the subject.
"But...so what?"
Shen Qian's words were not loud, yet they echoed in the sky like thunder.
Amidst countless astonished gazes, Shen Qian's resounding words echoed continuously.
"A must-fight for warriors!"
"This is the first line of text on the title page of the elementary school textbook!"
"Struggle against Heaven, struggle against man, struggle for opportunities, struggle for resources, and... struggle for life and death!"
"We entered the Nine Heavens Battlefield to hone our skills. Minister Ma made it very clear beforehand that life and death are in the hands of fate!"
"Wu Yi, Qin Xiaoke, and Ning Zhaoyi secretly joined forces and conspired with many martial arts students from various universities to launch a siege against our Jiangzhong Military Martial Arts. This is unethical, but it does not violate the rules, so I will remain silent."
"Similarly, since Wu Yi is plotting against me, he should be prepared to bear the consequences!"
