Liu Feng sneered: "Mo Shengjie, even now, you still dare to try to argue? Don't you think your arguments are so weak and feeble, and simply self-deception?"
Mo Shengjie scoffed: "Sophistry? You're just an outsider, how dare you openly slander me on my Laoshan Sect's territory? Besides, although the Soul Shadow Technique can capture spiritual energy, who can prove that this wisp of spiritual energy wasn't deliberately forged?"
Upon hearing this, many cultivators showed hesitation.
Seeing this, Liu Feng let out another cold laugh and mocked, "What a silver-tongued Mo Shengjie! The truth has already come to light, yet you can still speak so eloquently and distort the truth. You are truly unmatched!"
Everyone knows perfectly well that the reason Mo Shengjie dares to distort the facts and frame others so recklessly is simply because he relies on the favor shown to him by the Cloud Sea Ancestor.
Fan Yao was about to speak when Sun Yi stopped her with a gesture. Sun Yi shook his head slightly and whispered, "Wait a minute, let's see how Wudang responds first."
In fact, they did have their own thoughts, but as a guest elder of the Heavenly Observation Bureau, Ancestor Yunhai held a prestigious position and possessed extremely high prestige and power in the cultivation world.
They dared not act rashly, fearing that they might offend this very important figure if they were not careful.
The Long siblings turned their gaze to Tong Miao, their eyes filled with worry and questions.
Tong Miao simply smiled calmly and reassured her in a low voice, "Don't worry, Junior Uncle is not one to suffer losses."
Just then, an aged voice rang out: "The pearl has been returned. Why don't you two each take a step back and avoid hurting each other's feelings?"
Everyone turned around and saw an elderly man with white hair and beard walking slowly towards them.
He was dressed in a Taoist robe from Longhu Mountain and held a whisk in his hand; he was none other than the Taixu Zhenren of Longhu Mountain.
A cold glint flashed in Mo Shengjie's eyes, but he ultimately revealed a faint smile and said, "Since Senior Zhang has spoken, I will naturally give Senior Zhang face."
Changing the subject, he added, "However, in order to protect the reputation of my Laoshan Sect and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, I dare to suggest that Fairy Yu stay in Laoshan for the time being. Fellow Daoist Liu can come and take her away after he has thoroughly investigated the truth."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Taixu's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed softly. Then, with the careful support of the two young Taoist disciples, he left Laoshan.
Liu Feng was truly surprised that Mo Shengjie would make such an unreasonable request. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, feeling a surge of annoyance and anger.
In his view, the Laoshan Sect members were utterly absurd, and he had no patience left to deal with them or play along.
He glanced around at the crowd, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Since you are all so unable to distinguish right from wrong, then I will show you all whether the so-called Laoshan Sect is a righteous sect or a heretical sect!"
Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed at the air, and an invisible force surged out, firmly capturing the person hiding behind Mo Shengjie and suspending him in mid-air.
This sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned. Those who had initially thought Liu Feng's cultivation was mediocre were now filled with shock.
At this moment, Liu Feng stared sharply at the captured man, his brows furrowed, as if he felt the man before him was somewhat familiar, and asked, "What is Feng Guang to you?"
The captured man was named Feng Da. He was terrified and his body was trembling. He cried out in a sobbing voice, "Yes, it's my elder brother. Let me go, or he won't spare you."
"So you're all in cahoots." Liu Feng's voice was icy cold, filled with endless chill. "Tell me, who exactly instructed you to frame me?"
Feng Da felt as if the Grim Reaper's scythe was already at his neck, and his heart was filled with extreme fear. He screamed desperately, "Young Master, Young Master, save me!"
Liu Feng sneered: "Save you? Your so-called young master is in dire straits himself, how could he possibly save you!"
Mo Shengjie roared angrily, "Useless!"
