Chapter 128 Both Sides Go Crazy
In full view of the public.
Nan Wang gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty:
"I……"
"I am devoted to Qingyun Sect."
There was silence.
This statement was equivalent to directly admitting his undercover identity.
Nan Wang was helpless. Tong Yan had even taken out his identity deed, so there was no point in lying.
People always have to pay the price for what they have done, and he knew that this day would come.
He had nothing to explain, so he accepted it.
Whether it was murder or beheading, he accepted it all.
Nanwang admitted it readily, but it threw everyone present into great confusion.
How could a disciple who had been in Qingyun Sect for more than ten years and had become a true disciple be an undercover agent of the Demon Sect?
Is Qingyun Sect's way of recruiting disciples so wild?
Things were bizarre enough up to this point, but what was even more bizarre was that this undercover agent of the Demon Sect who had become a true disciple in the Qingyun Sect was actually the Demon Lord himself.
Even this Demon Lord was not the one from the beginning, but was just selected some time ago.
This, this, this…
How did things get to this point?
Is Qingyun Sect crazy? Letting an undercover agent pass on the true teachings?
Are the demons crazy? Letting a true disciple become the demon lord?
If both sides are absolutely confident in their own true disciples/demon lords, and are sure that their true disciples/demon lords will never betray their own camp, then now the problem comes, the demons have come to demand release, will Qingyun Sect release the people or not?
To release or not to release?
...Such a shocking development, such an outrageous fact, was simply beyond the ability of the monks present to digest.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect were relatively safe, after all, all the true disciples and elders were present, so no matter how big the problem was, there was no need to panic.
And if it were any other matter, it would be fine, but regarding the matter of the fourth true teaching... it is better not to take sides so easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
There are so many lessons that I can’t even count them all.
In sharp contrast to the monks of Qingyun Sect are the monks of other immortal sects.
They were in a visibly chaotic mess.
In the relationship between immortals and demons, Qingyun Sect is barely neutral. They do not support but are not that opposed either. This can be seen from their attitude towards Chu Songping.
However, among the immortal sects, there are indeed some extreme sects that hate the demons to the core.
There are quite a few, and many are here right here.
At this moment, the demon army is at the foot of the mountain, which brings tremendous psychological pressure to all the cultivators. In addition, so many unfamiliar immortal sects gathered together, giving people the illusion that all the major immortal sects share the same hatred and a common enemy.
Then, a monk stood up:
"My Luanshan Sect has always been at odds with the demons. Our ancestors said that seeing a demon is like seeing a deadly enemy. Kill one if you see one!"
The humming sword in his hand proved that his words were not just talk.
The monk who spoke up quickly received a wave of strong support:
"The undercover business is despicable! Since your identity has been exposed, what else is there to say? Just commit suicide!"
"Qingyun Sect really needs to give everyone an explanation on this matter."
"The demons only said they wanted a human being, they didn't say whether he was dead or alive, just leaving a complete body will be fine."
"Everyone has the right to punish those scoundrels!"
"Yes, everyone can punish him!"
bass--
Snow Glaze is unsheathed.
This sword, which has been famous in the fairy world for its hidden murderous intent since its birth, revealed its undisguised murderous intent so clearly for the first time.
There was not even a speck of snow falling from the sky, but the majesty of thunder had already swept across the entire square.
Du Xueling's expression was colder than ice and snow, and more serious than thunder:
"Anyone who dares to touch him must step over my body first."
With just a few words, the morale that had been ignited at the scene suddenly disappeared by half.
A few monks, under the sect's rules and Du Xueling's murderous aura, reluctantly chose the former:
"Friend Du, you can't be so confused about right and wrong!"
"Qingyun Sect is so unruly and yet it calls itself the number one immortal sect?"
“That’s right…”
A clever monk wanted to smooth things over, so he said:
"Today is the Grand Ceremony of Asking Immortals. All the Buddhists and Buddhist disciples are present. We really shouldn't say such words about fighting and killing. After all, the demons can't attack us for a while. In this case, I suggest that both sides take a step back and temporarily detain this fourth true disciple. After we find out his purpose and intention, we can decide how to deal with him."
The Buddhist monks neatly lined up and took a step back, drawing a clear line between themselves and this clever monk.
The clever monk was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly twelve Buddha bones filled with murderous aura appeared before his eyes.
The Buddha Bone Array is a defensive array in most cases, which is consistent with people's understanding of Buddhism.
However, when laymen look at experts, they are always seeing flowers in the fog. Compared with the facts, there is indeed a big deviation between the public's understanding of Buddhism and the facts.
At this moment, Zhu Tianque, who was wearing the robes for offering sacrifices to heaven, used the killing array made of the twelve Buddha bones to correct the cognitive error of this smart monk:
"Just because I don't want to kill doesn't mean I can't kill."
Smart monk: "..."
If you want to kill someone, just kill the undercover agent, why would you kill him?! ?
The disciples of Qingyun Sect watched carefully, feeling lucky that they did not rush to take sides, while at the same time they already fully understood how things would turn out.
Some monks even tried to argue:
"He is a demon! Since ancient times, immortals and demons cannot coexist! You are protecting him so much today, how will he treat you in the future? Once the tiger is released back into the mountains, he will become a great trouble in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow sand in the sky condensed into black and white seals in the gaps of the Qingyun formation. The dreamlike scene stunned all the monks.
Can the Dharma and Dharma instruments be played with like this?
Is this still a magic weapon? Is this still a human being?
"The Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect are originally of the same origin."
Chu Songping's eyes were bloodshot, and his heterochromatic pupils were frighteningly bright:
"The only people who are irreconcilable are mediocre people. I am a fairy and a demon in one body. If you want to settle accounts, then start with mine."
He was the most qualified person among all the people present to form a united front with Nanwang, because he was born with both immortal and demon in one body, and was deeply troubled by the struggle between spiritual energy and demonic energy.
Even he himself did not expect that his seniors had expressed their opinions earlier than him, leaving only the third place for him.
This is... so infuriating.
After Chu Songping made his stance clear, more than half of the monks present had already expressed their intention to switch sides.
That's Chu Songping. What's the difference between offending Chu Songping and committing suicide?
Seeing that things were almost done, the disciples of Qingyun Sect began to show their support:
"Today, I want to see who dares to touch Fourth Brother!"
"Don't mess with Fourth Senior Brother. Now you know the weight of this sentence."
"Let's fight the internal war in the Immortal Sect first, and then fight the external war after the internal war."
"If the Demon Cult wants someone else, we can negotiate with them, but if they want our Fourth Senior Brother, then there is no room for negotiation."
"Knife in hand, follow me, everyone come together to protect our fourth brother!"
Nan Wang's shocked gaze fell on the faces of every Qingyun Sect disciple.
He had predicted many possible outcomes for himself, but he never expected this to be the result.
There was no questioning, no disappointment, not even shock, only endless tolerance and protection.
It was as if everyone had known that he was an undercover agent.
He worked hard to improve his skills so that he could escape if his identity was exposed.
If he had known this would happen, why would he have improved his cultivation?
Nanwang said with emotion:
"Big Sister, Big Brother, Second Brother, you guys..."
Chu Songping, who was in a bad mood, interrupted him: "Shut up, you have no right to speak."
Nanwang: “???”
In the end, there was only one monk who was still resisting. He looked at the second elder on the stage with a glimmer of hope, hoping that he could say a few fair words.
The second elder looked at the first elder in embarrassment: "Brother, you said this..."
The Great Elder snorted disdainfully:
"I say, are you guys stupid? You just believe whatever others say? Even if he writes this contract beautifully, we won't recognize it! If you want us to release him, you have to go through my Yangyan Sword first!"
Everyone: “…”
To put it simply, what the Great Elder meant is that he does not recognize any evidence and only believes in his own judgment. He is a complete idealist.
The second elder nodded and said to the crowd, "This matter is of great importance. I will listen to my senior brother."
Everyone: “…”
…
At the same time, in the secret realm of Central Plains.
The rift grew larger day by day, and it had almost reached a point where it was completely unsustainable.
A silly little fox passed by here, and suddenly all four of its paws left the ground, and the whole fox was sucked into the crack.
At the critical moment, a big hand grabbed the little fox by the neck and rescued it.
Elder Qi sat on a low tree stump, took a long sip of wine leisurely, and then threw the little fox and the wine pot on a large rock beside him.
The little fox was dizzy from the fall and finally got up. He was tripped by Elder Qi's wine bottle. After he stood up, he cursed twice, flicked his big tail, and disappeared into the bushes.
"Things are chosen by nature. Why should the elders interfere with the arrangement of heaven?"
The ringing of the bell was accompanied by the voice of a child, shocking Elder Qi so much that his eyes widened.
The spirit branch emerged from the darkness, and behind her, countless ghost corpses appeared silently, like ghosts.
