Chapter 977: Being sold and still counting money!
Hearing such accusations and reproaches, Ye Linglong took a step forward and stood in front of everyone.
"Everyone wants an explanation, so I will give you one. You only saw the Worry-Free Tree disappear, but you never saw what terrible changes happened in the secret realm of the Worry-Free Tree!"
"I believe that many sect leaders have noticed that the number of disciples returning from their sects has decreased, right? The killings in the Worry-Free Tree Secret Realm will not actually kill the person, they will only send the person to the resurrection point."
"But it had a big problem this time. After the competition, the 12th-level spiritual beast did not appear. Instead, many destructive killing tentacles appeared. These tentacles killed many innocent fellows, leaving them unable to return."
"All my comrades who have escaped death can testify to this. I have not lied a single word!"
After Ye Linglong finished speaking, the sect leaders and elders of each clan turned around and looked at their own disciples, and then received nods of affirmation from the disciples.
But their solemn expressions did not relax at all, and it was obvious that such words did not satisfy them.
"Everyone who escaped from the Worry-Free Tree Secret Realm like me should have seen who saved us when we were trapped in the collapsed Worry-Free Tree Secret Realm and couldn't leave!"
"It's the man behind me! If it weren't for him, we would have died in the Secret Realm of the Worry-Free Tree by now. It was he who saved us from the Worry-Free Tree!"
"If he really wanted to destroy the Worry-Free Mountain and monopolize the Worry-Free Tree, why would he go to the trouble of releasing all of us?"
"He did all this just to save people! The Worry-Free Tree is important, but aren't the nearly a thousand new geniuses in the upper cultivation world important?"
"If we were to let all of us die here in order to preserve this Worry-Free Tree, what kind of damage would the Upper Cultivation World suffer? You, the sect leaders, should know better than me, right?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask my own disciples. Is there a single word I said that is false?"
After Ye Linglong finished speaking, the faces of the major sect leaders and elders were still filled with hesitation.
"I can testify to this. What Junior Sister Ye said is true. A huge change occurred in the Worry-Free Tree Secret Realm, and we almost all died in it. It was Junior Sister Ye who led everyone to do everything possible to save their lives.
Later, it was that young master who escorted us out of the Worry-Free Tree Secret Realm, and we were able to save our lives and return to the sect."
Ji Haokong, who was the most hesitant person in the Worry-Free Tree Secret Realm, now became the first person to stand up and speak for Qingxuan Sect.
After he came out, Rong Xiuzhu also stood out.
"Brother Ji is right. We all owe our lives to Junior Sister Ye and that young master. The Worry-Free Tree is indeed precious, but its interior has collapsed. Saving everyone's lives is the most important thing. I believe that all the sect leaders would not want all their disciples to die in it, right?"
"They have said everything I wanted to say. I owe you two a favor for saving my life. I will definitely remember it." Xiao Zhengyang stood up and clasped his fist.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Jinyao, Shao Changkun and Chu Qianfan all stood up and testified for Ye Linglong.
At this time, Sect Leader Yuanwu clenched his fists and spoke with a fierce expression.
"You all come out, what about our Yuanwu Sect disciples? Ye Linglong saved all of you, why didn't she save our Yuanwu Sect disciples? She is described as so kind, but in fact, isn't she narrow-minded and waiting for revenge?"
It was obvious that Yuan Wuzong's huge loss had brought him to the brink of mental collapse. His heart was filled with hatred, and even the words he spoke were squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Don't be stupid! She is simply using you all to deceive you! She keeps calling you Junior Sister Ye and is still counting money after being sold out!"
"I am indeed not a savior. My abilities are limited. I cannot save everyone. I failed to save all of your Yuanwu Sect's disciples. But this is not a reason for you to maliciously spread rumors and frame me!" Ye Linglong scolded.
"I spread rumors, I framed someone?" The leader of the Yuanwu Sect laughed. "Then let me ask, why did the Worry-Free Tree Secret Realm go wrong? Who caused it? Was it the seven major sects? Or was it the Qingxuan Sect that suddenly appeared and harbored evil intentions?"
After these words were spoken, everyone was silent for a moment.
"Don't act this out! It was you who moved the Carefree Tree, causing it to undergo a drastic change and nearly killing everyone inside! Then you pretended to rescue people, tricking others into being grateful to you and making excuses for you!"
"Without saying anything else, I would like to ask everyone present here, from all the sects, who can be sure to move this Worry-Free Tree? Even if you are the most powerful Tianding Sect Master here, can you make the Worry-Free Tree undergo a drastic change?"
The leader of Tianding Sect frowned.
"cannot."
"Yes, you can't, and neither can we. Only he can! When he was under the Worry-Free Tree, he once lay in a spiritual flower that no one could find. He could easily take the Worry-Free Tree into his palm when he was on the Worry-Free Tree!"
"Then why can't he turn this Worry-Free Tree from a holy place of cultivation into a hell on earth? He can, and only he can! So are you still not awake?!"
"What Sect Master Yuanwu said is very true. No one here can move the Worry-Free Tree except him." Sect Master Tianding said, "He is the one who saves people, and he must be the one who harms people."
"Bullshit!" Black Dragon was so angry that he cursed: "He can do it, so he is the one who is evil? But you can't do it, so you will be kind all your life? Those who are better than you are all evil, so do you want to kill them all? Can you kill them all? You are a bunch of rubbish!"
"Shut up! You've been talking nonsense for a month, and we don't want to bother with you. We've tolerated it again and again. Now you're trying to get away with it in this way when facing a matter of right and wrong. We won't tolerate it anymore!" The leader of the Chiyan Sect said angrily, "You'll pay the price for your arrogance soon!"
Heilong wanted to curse again, but was pulled back by Ye Linglong.
"Then I would like to ask all the sect leaders, why does he need to put on such a show? Wouldn't it be better if everyone died in there? Let your disciples out now, but you will have to come back and deal with him in the end!"
"Because your own people are also inside!" Yuan Wu Sect Master sneered: "He is not trying to save others at all, he just wants to let you out!"
"I made five barriers in total. All of us in Qingxuan Sect are in the same barrier. He could have just put up one, there's no need to put up five! And if he really wanted to kill everyone, why would I have taken the initiative to lead everyone to evacuate and took the trouble to make barriers for everyone?"
"Of course, it's so that everyone will regard you as their savior! Everyone is so grateful to you that they never thought you were the mastermind. Who would still hold you responsible for destroying the Worry-Free Mountain and monopolizing the Worry-Free Tree?"
