Chapter 978 You deceived all of us?
The Yuanwu Sect Master sneered and said, "Because your cultivation is too low, you are not sure that you can escape the joint encirclement of more than ten Mahayana-level cultivators present, so you staged this trick!"
"If you really had the ability to escape, you would have already taken action and left. Why would you be here talking to us so much? The reason is that you can't escape at all!"
After Sect Master Yuanwu finished speaking, Sect Master Tianding immediately shouted angrily: "Enough! Wuyou Mountain and Wuyou Tree are precious cultivation resources shared by the upper cultivation world. They were destroyed in your hands. You must give an explanation! Today, none of you can leave!"
"Apart from this matter, every disciple of you Qingxuan Sect has a secret. Who are you? Where did you come from? What are you going to do to the immortal cultivation world?!"
The leader of the Chiyan Sect said, "We will never let you go until we figure this out! Otherwise, if the Upper Cultivation World is destroyed by you, how can we face everyone in the Upper Cultivation World?"
Ye Linglong clenched his fists in his sleeves, and his beautiful eyebrows were furrowed.
"So you're not going to let us go no matter what today, right?"
"You really can't leave today." Sect Master Yun Yang said, "If you are really innocent, if you really have something to hide, then we will clear your name after we investigate. But today, in order to maintain the stability of the Upper Cultivation World, you must stay."
Sect Master Yun Yang sighed.
"I don't want to assume you with bad intentions, but I will be cautious with all those who are unfavorable to the world of immortal cultivation. I can assure you that if you are truly innocent, I will definitely give you justice."
"Yes, don't make futile resistance. It will only hurt others and yourself. If you are really innocent, then you have nothing to worry about if you go back with us, right?" said Sect Master Feng Xing.
"I agree with what the other sect leaders said about this matter. The upper immortal world has been stable for so many years, and I don't want it to be destroyed. All our actions are for the stability of the upper immortal world, not to persecute you. If you are really innocent, we will definitely give you a proper treatment." said Sect Leader Bi Xin.
"Children, Wuyou Mountain and Wuyou Tree are of great importance, no wonder we are so nervous. Please think from our perspective and don't make things difficult for us. Bai Wei is still among you, and I absolutely don't want her to get hurt!" Sect Master Zhan Yue also advised earnestly at this moment.
“What if we disagree?”
Yu Honglan took a step forward, stood in front of everyone, and took out his sword directly from the ring.
This action instantly brought the atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed, to a tense state.
"Of course you won't agree! You are guilty and have done all kinds of evil things. You have lost all conscience!" The leader of Yuanwu Sect shouted: "I didn't expect you to agree. It is inevitable to take action today! It just so happens that I also want to avenge my disciples!"
After saying this, he ignored everyone else and took out the long sword from the ring first.
As a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, his momentum immediately increased as he swung his sword, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more tense than before!
"Master Yuanwu is right. If you don't agree, we will take action directly." Master Tianding also expressed his attitude.
Although the other clan leaders did not say anything, it was obvious that they all meant the same thing.
Yu Honglan turned around and glanced at them.
"Junior sister, I remember you had a phantom demon."
"Master Sister!"
"I'll give you the flying boat. You can find a way to take them away. I'll buy you some time. You won't let me down, right?"
"no!"
"Do we have a choice now? If you leave, we will still have a chance to avenge me. If you don't leave, we will all die here. Who will collect our bodies? Are you willing to die like this?"
"We are unwilling to do this, but we will never abandon you!" Ye Linglong said, "If I really have to die, I would rather die with you!"
"When things get bad, you are the calmest one among us. Why are you crazy now? You can die, but you can't kill other fellow disciples as well!" Yu Honglan scolded.
"I…"
"Have you ever thought that the root of everything is actually me?"
Ye Qingxuan's sudden words stunned all the Qingxuan Sect disciples.
Not only because of what he said, but also because of the sound of his voice.
When Yu Honglan and Ye Linglong were talking before, their voices were low and isolated from outsiders, but when Ye Qingxuan said this, he used a normal voice. Although it was not loud, no one could hear it in this situation.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know why I can absorb the Worry-Free Tree? Do you know why I didn't just let you go if I had this ability, but absorbed the Worry-Free Tree as well, leaving you in this dead end?"
Ye Qingxuan's series of questions confused everyone in the Qingxuan Sect.
Yeah, why?
His sudden question stunned the people surrounding them.
What's going on? Aren't they in the same group?
"Why?" Yu Honglan asked subconsciously.
"You don't need to know why. You just need to know that you, people of low cultivation, are confused and overestimating your own abilities to stand in front of me. It is a very stupid thing to fight against everyone for my sake."
These words not only stunned the Qingxuan Sect's disciples, but even outsiders were puzzled.
"You don't even know that I have the ability to absorb the Worry-Free Tree. Do I also have this ability..."
Ye Qingxuan's eyes turned lightly and looked at the people surrounding them with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"It destroyed everyone present here."
He said this lightly, as if he had suddenly absorbed an entire worry-free tree.
There was no murderous intent, no cruelty, no bloodthirstiness or mania in his words. It was as simple and ordinary as gently brushing off the dust on one's sleeve, which made the listeners' hearts skip a beat and break out in cold sweats.
His words brought terrible pressure to people, causing those who were originally determined to win to feel a pang in their hearts.
So, the words and deeds of those people in Qingxuan Sect before did not represent him? Even they did not know his true situation?
For a long time after he finished speaking, everyone fell into deathly silence. Even the Yuanwu Sect Master, who had just been filled with hatred, was unable to refute him immediately.
Until a voice with barely concealed pain broke the depressing silence.
"So, you have been hiding yourself, blending in with us, deceiving all of us?"
Ye Linglong looked at Ye Qingxuan in disbelief and with a face full of heartache.
However, Ye Qingxuan's eyes were still calm, as always without any expression in them, and then he gave the most cruel answer in the most calm tone.
"yes."
