Long Yuanling thought for a moment and said, "There's news that the jade pendant in Alliance Leader Wu's hand was stolen by someone sent by the Demon Cult during the attack on the Demon Cult."
Xia Feng frowned. What did this mean? Two sides were fighting each other, and one wanted to steal from the other's house, but ended up having his own house stolen.
Coming from Long Yuanling's mouth, these words were much more credible. After all, Valley Master Long had a lot of contact with Alliance Master Wu, and he also participated a lot in the attack on the Demon Cult this time.
Long Yuanling couldn't help but remind him, "Junior Sister Zhu, you should not go out casually recently."
Xia Feng looked at her, a question flashing in his eyes. Has anything big happened recently?
It was Ning Biqiao who explained, "The Demon Cult just released news about the jade pendant and the treasure, and everyone in the world knows about it.
And they said that the last piece of jade pendant is in your hands. As long as everyone collects your piece, the Demon Cult will divide the treasure with everyone.
Even if we know the lies the Demon Cult tells, there are always some who can't figure it out, so it's better to be cautious during this period."
"What did Alliance Leader Wu say?"
"Because we ultimately failed to win this battle, the Wu Alliance Leader's prestige has declined. Furthermore, some people feel that the Wu Alliance Leader deceived everyone, failed to explain things clearly, and tricked everyone into death.
Even if Alliance Leader Wu still has some prestige left, I'm afraid it won't last long." Ning Biqiao's words hit the nail on the head.
This is indeed the case at this moment. Some people have already blocked Alliance Leader Wu and asked him to give an explanation.
"Alliance Leader Wu, we all believed in you, so we followed your orders. But you deceived us and caused our brothers to die or get injured. You must give us an explanation today."
"Yes, although we are a small sect, half of our people have died in our efforts to eradicate the Demon Cult. It's all because of your inappropriate leadership, Alliance Leader Wu. You must give us an explanation."
"Or do you, Alliance Leader Wu, want to take all the treasures for yourself and use us as cannon fodder?"
…
Not only heroes from all walks of life, but also some disciples and elders from various sects, even the six major sects came, but they all closed their eyes and pretended to ignore it.
Alliance Leader Wu was also having a headache at this time. He had fallen into the trap of the Demon Cult. He had not expected that the Demon Cult would infiltrate so deeply, and the rapid development was also beyond his expectations.
But this time he really let everyone down.
"Everyone, please listen to me. This time, I, Wu, was inconsiderate and didn't fully understand the strength of the Demon Cult. I, Wu, apologize to everyone."
As he said this, he clasped his hands together and bowed, and the scene became quiet.
"But this time, the jade pendant incident is a conspiracy of the Demon Cult. Please don't be fooled. Countless martial artists were killed and injured because of this incident a hundred years ago."
"Three of the four jade pendants have already been taken by the Demon Cult. If the Demon Cult really gets the last one, it will be a disaster for the martial arts world."
"Now that the last piece of jade pendant is missing, the matter has been settled. As long as the four jade pendants are not complete, the Demon Cult will naturally not be able to achieve their goal."
But someone soon refuted it.
"We heard that the fourth jade pendant is in the hands of a young girl named Zhu Yu."
Long Caiying came forward to explain, "The Zhu family jade pendant disappeared thirty years ago. This is what Zhu Yu said himself. This news is just a trick by the Demon Cult to sow discord."
“No one knows if this is true. What if she uses the jade pendant to trade with the Demon Cult?
If the Wumeng really wants to resolve this matter once and for all, they might as well kill all the Zhu family members, and the matter will naturally be resolved."
Although the words that suddenly came out of the crowd were simple, the meaning was very vicious, and the blame was also put on Alliance Leader Wu.
Long Caiying's eyes became sharp as he looked at the crowd fiercely. These people were talking without any hesitation. They were just asking the leader for an explanation for the death of their brother, and now they wanted Leader Wu to order a killing.
Alliance Leader Wu was in a dilemma, and he looked at the six major sects.
At this moment, the elder of the Sifang Sword Sect opened his eyes and said, "If that's the case, then bring Zhu Yu here for questioning.
Besides, it's not safe for her to keep this jade pendant on her, so why don't we all send someone to look after it together?"
Alliance Leader Wu did not expect such a reply, but the other five major factions soon expressed the same opinion, and the people below also echoed it.
However, Leader Wu forgot that who could resist the desire to be the best in the world and to unify the world? Now everyone has different goals, so naturally these people will no longer listen to him.
There was no choice but to call Xia Feng over. When Xia Feng and his four companions arrived, the huge reception room was full of people. Xia Feng and his four companions just stood in the middle, allowing everyone to stare at them.
There is curiosity, passion, greed, etc...
As soon as he stood still, someone asked loudly.
"Zhu Yu, hand over the jade pendant. This is not something you can keep. In your hands, it will only harm you and the martial arts world."
Without waiting for Xia Feng to speak, Ning Biqiao spoke directly to the leader of the Wu Alliance.
"You invited us here and there weren't even any chairs. This is how you treat our guests."
Alliance Leader Wu could only wave his hand and ask his servants to bring five chairs, but there was no room for people to stand on either side, so they had to be placed in the middle.
Xia Feng sat down first without caring about the gazes of the crowd, and Ning Biqiao and the other three followed suit.
At this time, the five people were sitting in the middle under everyone's gaze, and Alliance Leader Wu asked.
"Junior Brother Zhu Yu, is your Zhu family jade pendant with you?"
"The jade pendant has disappeared long ago and its whereabouts are unknown." Xia Feng's voice was cold and clear, and everyone could hear it clearly.
"You little brat, how can you prove it with nothing but empty words?" An old man immediately stood up and shouted angrily.
"My words are the proof." Xia Feng didn't even bother to look at him.
At this time, a thin man ran in from outside with very fast steps. He ran to the old man and whispered a few words in his ear.
Then the old man glared at Xia Feng.
"If you don't have evidence, it means you are guilty. A body search in public can prove your innocence!" He waved to the two men behind him, and the two men immediately stepped out.
It seems that the jade pendant was not found where she lived.
No one spoke, just watched the scene quietly.
Long Caiying wanted to stop it, but was controlled by the six major sects on both sides.
Xia Feng looked at everyone's expressions and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ning Biqiao couldn't help getting angry when she saw the two men's sharp-nosed and monkey-faced appearances. Even though they were people of the underworld, how dare they let two men search a woman's body in public? They completely disregarded Sister Zhu's innocence.
In other words, he didn't take Xia Feng, a weak woman with no background, seriously at all.
Watching the two men getting closer and closer, Ning Biqiao slowly moved her wrists. Just as she was about to make a move, she saw two sword lights flash before her eyes. The two men fell to the ground holding their wrists in pain, leaving a bloody patch on the ground.
The old man's eyes bulged out and his face had a terrifying expression.
"Little girl, you dare to draw your sword in public? You are simply courting death."
Xia Feng looked at him coldly, and the already condensed air seemed to be frozen.
"You don't deserve to be searched."
