The reason is simple: this whole thing is just ridiculous!
Humans and sea creatures have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and there has never been any instance of any power colluding with or surrendering to the sea creatures.
There are two main reasons.
First, sea creatures live in the ocean.
Unless a race on land possesses extremely great strength, even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot stay in the ocean for long.
The second reason is that sea creatures are hostile to all land creatures, regardless of race.
They can only earn their respect through their own abilities.
Those who try to surrender or seek refuge with them will face severe discrimination and will not receive any respect.
Over time, no one wanted to join the sea tribe anymore.
Therefore, You Buyu's claim that the Divine Sword Sect secretly colluded with the sea tribes and betrayed the Four Directions City is utter nonsense.
This is blatantly treating everyone like fools.
Therefore, after You Buyu finished speaking, even those who originally stood on the side of Xuantian Sect did not speak up to support him this time.
"Hehehe, You Buyu, you say my Divine Sword Sect is in league with the sea tribes? Has your Xuantian Sect become so shameless?"
He Jiuhong was so angry that she laughed.
Upon hearing He Jiuhong say that the Xuantian Sect was shameless, You Buyu's face immediately darkened: "Of course I have evidence to support my claim!"
"What evidence?" He Jiuhong asked, puzzled.
The Divine Sword Sect's attitude towards the Sea Clan was evident to everyone.
Not to mention that their Divine Sword Sect has been the main force in launching sneak attacks on the sea race these days.
If Xia Anyu could be accused of secretly colluding with the sea race by slaying three great demons of the sea race in one day, wouldn't all other forces in Qingzhou be suspected of secretly colluding with the sea race when they saw the sea race fleeing at the mere sight of them?
Just as He Jiuhong was pondering, You Buyu spoke up: "I have two pieces of evidence!"
He held up two fingers, slowly stood up from the ground, and looked around at the representatives of various forces sitting around him.
"Firstly, the Divine Sword Sect deliberately delayed its support. Fellow Daoists who arrived early will remember that our Xuantian, Wuchan, and Zuimeng sects sent people to support Sifang City as early as two months ago when we received the news that more than half of Yuzhou had fallen. However, the people from the Divine Sword Sect only arrived two months later."
"It is known that the message was sent to all four major sects simultaneously by the government, so there is no situation where the Divine Sword Sect received the message late!"
"So here's the question: what has the Divine Sword Sect been doing for the past two months? Why didn't they immediately provide support to Four Directions City?!"
You Buyu's questioning voice echoed throughout the entire hall.
"It seems so. The other three major sects arrived in Sifang City two months ago, while the Divine Sword Sect only arrived ten days ago."
A representative of one of the first forces to arrive in Sifang City to provide support nodded.
You Buyu was absolutely right. As one of the four major sects, the support from the Divine Sword Sect did indeed arrive a bit late.
Hearing You Buyu's question, He Jiuhong smiled and shook her head: "I've already said that our sect leader went to Yunzhou to ask for help after receiving the news. Otherwise, where do you think these thirty Nascent Soul cultivators came from?"
"Besides, so what if your three major sects arrived early? In the past two months, have you done anything of any benefit? Have you reinforced the defenses of Sifang City? Have you provided any assistance to the people? If my Divine Sword Sect had not arrived in time, Sifang City would probably have fallen by now."
He Jiuhong argued forcefully based on reason.
The Divine Sword Sect arrived a little late.
That's because Chen Tianwen wasn't there, and they had just gone through a battle with the Blood Fiend Sect, leaving them weak.
However, the Divine Sword Sect managed to gather thirty Nascent Soul cultivators to come and provide support within two months, which was far better than the Xuan Tian, Wu Chan, and Zui Meng sects, who arrived in Sifang City much earlier but accomplished nothing.
Now You Buyu is using this incident to accuse them of secretly colluding with the sea tribe, which is simply unacceptable.
"Just because our sect arrived at Sifang City late, you're saying we're secretly colluding with the sea race and betraying Sifang City? Then your Xuantian Sect's Sect Master Song is even more cunning than our Divine Sword Sect. Has he also colluded with the sea race?"
"Is it not just him, but everyone who has arrived these past few days, all of them connected to the sea tribe?"
He Jiuhong's voice was somewhat disdainful.
"quibble!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, You Buyu suddenly snorted coldly: "I haven't finished my second point yet!"
As You Buyu spoke, he turned around, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "If the Divine Sword Sect had merely delayed their arrival, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But the problem is that on the very day the Divine Sword Sect arrived, the Sea Clan was already at the gates of Sifang City."
At this point, You Buyu looked at He Jiuhong: "Why did the Divine Sword Sect arrive at such a convenient time? Before you arrived, Sifang City was safe and sound, but just when you arrived, the Sea Clan also arrived?"
"Moreover, Xia Anyu, who led your Divine Sword Sect, caused a great disturbance as soon as he arrived in Sifang City, deliberately cutting off my right arm, which greatly reduced my strength and prevented me from exerting my full power in the battle against the sea race!"
"And how do you explain that!"
He Jiuhong sneered: "If it's really as you guessed, then why would we need to go through all this trouble? With Elder Xia alone, who among you could stop us? And why would we need to fight the sea race later?"
"Moreover, what benefit would this bring to my Divine Sword Sect?"
He Jiuhong smiled and asked in return.
A cold glint flashed in You Buyu's eyes as he said, "Of course there are benefits. You collude with the sea race to eliminate other forces in Qingzhou, so that your Divine Sword Sect can become the only dominant force!"
"Otherwise, why would the Mermaid Demon King make a three-move agreement with Xia Anyu?"
"And how was Xia Anyu able to withstand three attacks from a demon king?"
"Any one of these individuals might not seem like much on its own, but when they are put together..."
"That siege was just a show you put on."
"The purpose is to allow your Divine Sword Sect to gain a foothold within the Four Directions Alliance based on this achievement, to pass messages to the Sea Clan, and to betray us at a crucial moment, thus severely damaging our Four Directions Alliance!"
"When that time comes, all the major forces in Qingzhou will suffer heavy losses, and then your Divine Sword Sect will be able to dominate the world."
You Buyu's cold voice resonated throughout the entire hall.
When the representatives of the various factions heard his points of doubt, they suddenly felt that there was some truth to them.
"Elder You's analysis makes some sense."
“That’s right. If what he said is true, the Divine Sword Sect has been hiding its secrets far too well.”
"I never expected that the Divine Sword Sect would have such a vicious mind."
Whispers arose all around.
Those who were particularly close to the Xuantian Sect were especially so.
He Jiuhong listened to these sounds.
Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of desolation.
She came from Yunzhou and witnessed firsthand how much effort the Divine Sword Sect had put in to deal with the invasion of the sea race.
What they got in return was suspicion, targeting, and suppression from their fellow practitioners in Qingzhou.
Thinking about this, she felt sorry for Xia Anyu.
If the Divine Sword Sect were content to stay within the sect or even close its gates, Chen Tianwen would be more than capable of protecting himself.
