After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tao Tiesheng's expression changed slightly.
The two people behind him were also somewhat angry and glared at Xiao Chen.
This kid, even if he is a genius, can't talk to their deputy leader like this, right?
However, when he thought about how Ri Lao, Yue Lao and others all died at the hands of Xiao Chen, a chill ran up from the soles of his feet and he forcibly suppressed his anger.
It’s better not to provoke this kid, otherwise he will easily be unable to leave Kunyu Gate.
"Alliance Master Xiao, I am serious."
Tao Tiesheng looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Senior Tao, I am serious too."
Xiao Chen said coldly.
"It's okay to tell the same lie once, but if you tell it a second time, it's an insult..."
"What does Alliance Leader Xiao mean?"
Tao Tiesheng frowned.
"When I killed Sun Venerable Yang Yan in Qianlong Mountain, he used the Holy Heaven Sect to scare me before he died... Later, Moon Venerable Xie Gan came to Longhai to find me and said that Yang Yan's behavior could only represent himself, not the Sun and Moon Sect."
Xiao Chen paused when he said this.
"What's the result? Xie Gan, his master Gong Tiangong, and Gong Yangchun are all members of the Holy Heaven Sect... Now you say that everything is their personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Sun Moon Sect?"
"Alliance Leader Xiao..."
Tao Tiesheng wanted to say something.
"Senior Tao, you said that all this was their personal behavior, but can you provide any evidence? Or do you think that since they are dead, there is no evidence to prove it?"
Xiao Chen looked at Tao Tiesheng and asked.
"If that's the case, then you might be disappointed. Xie Gan is not dead yet... He has said everything he should have said, and he has also said everything he shouldn't have said."
"Xie Gan is from the Holy Heaven Sect, his words cannot be trusted."
Tao Tiesheng shook his head.
"Since he has been captured, he must want to see conflict in the ancient martial arts world... Once a war breaks out, the Holy Heaven Cult will have achieved their goal. We cannot let their conspiracy succeed."
“…”
Listening to Tao Tiesheng's words, Xiao Chen had a strange expression on his face. This old guy was really amazing. He could even say such words?
"Lord Dragon, at this time, we should resolve the misunderstanding and jointly resist the foreign enemies."
Tao Tiesheng looked at Long Zhuifeng again and said seriously.
"The Holy Heaven Sect has infiltrated our Divine Sect and won over the Sun and Moon Dual Lords and others. What they have done is too bad... We in the Divine Sect will not let this matter go. We must ask the Holy Heaven Sect for an explanation!"
"Well, destroying an entire family is too evil."
Long Zhuifeng nodded.
"If you don't give an explanation for this matter, the martial arts world will not agree."
"I came here just to explain things clearly and give an account."
Tao Tiesheng became more serious.
"If the Sun Moon Sect is really related to the Holy Heaven Sect, why would I come here?"
"Senior Tao, please show us some evidence."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"Otherwise, it's hard for me to believe that the Sun Moon Sect has no connection with the Holy Heaven Sect... Why? Just based on your words? Xie Gan said the same thing before, but he is also a member of the Holy Heaven Sect! Senior Tao, tell me, are you also a member of the Holy Heaven Sect?"
"If I were a member of the Holy Heaven Sect, wouldn't I be walking into a trap by coming here?"
Tao Tiesheng said in a deep voice.
"Even Gong Yangchun and Gong Tiangong died here. If the Sun Moon Sect is really related to the Holy Heaven Sect, how could they not avenge them? It is precisely because I don't want to cause unnecessary conflicts due to misunderstandings and let the Holy Heaven Sect's conspiracy succeed that I came here."
"Haha, what you said does make sense."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I admire Senior Tao's courage. Under such circumstances, he dared to come to Kunyu Gate with two people... Senior Tao, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the two people behind Tao Tiesheng changed their expressions slightly.
Tao Tiesheng, on the other hand, remained calm: "It's not that I am courageous, but I want to explain it clearly. Facts are facts, and rumors are just rumors... I believe that Alliance Leader Xiao and Dragon Leader are also smart people and will not let the Holy Heaven Sect's conspiracy succeed."
"Senior Tao, could you please not mention the word 'rumor'? I'm a little allergic to this word lately."
Xiao Chen was smoking a cigarette.
“Again, bring out the evidence to prove that the Sun Moon Sect has no connection with the Holy Heaven Sect. Otherwise… it may be difficult for Senior Tao to leave safely.”
"As long as Alliance Leader Xiao is willing to believe in the Sun Moon Sect, I am willing to stay."
Tao Tiesheng said slowly.
"This is the sincerity of the Sun Moon Sect, and also my sincerity."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Isn't this old guy afraid of death?
However, even though Tao Tiesheng said this, his suspicion of the Sun and Moon Sect did not waver in the slightest.
This is no longer a suspicion, but a fact!
"I am willing to stay by Alliance Leader Xiao's side until this matter is clear...how do you think?"
Tao Tiesheng said again.
"Haha, Senior Tao, are you taking me as a hostage?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"If it can help avoid a war and reduce bloodshed and sacrifice, then I am willing to be a hostage."
Tao Tiesheng looked serious.
"Senior Tao is very kind, but even though he wants to stay with me, I don't dare to."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"If you keep a strong man like Senior Tao by your side, you will die without knowing how you died."
"Alliance Leader Xiao, what do you want?"
Tao Tiesheng frowned.
"If you and I come into conflict because of the conspiracy of the Holy Heaven Sect, the losses will definitely be huge... By then, the entire ancient martial arts world might be flooded with blood. Alliance Leader Xiao, you should think twice."
"Senior Tao, are you threatening me?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"No, I am just telling the truth."
Tao Tiesheng shook his head.
"Even if it's a misunderstanding, and Alliance Xiao wants to deal with the Sun Moon Sect, we won't just sit there and wait for it to happen without any resistance... By then, the two sides will clash and suffer heavy losses, and the Holy Heaven Sect's conspiracy will be accomplished."
"Heavy losses?"
Xiao Chen looked at Tao Tiesheng.
"Are you trying to scare me? How many strong men are there in the Sun Moon Sect now? Even if there is an old monster in the Sun Moon Altar, how many are there? Or is it the strong man in the Holy Heaven Sect?"
When Tao Tiesheng heard Xiao Chen's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
“Alliance Leader Xiao, there are no strong men from the Holy Heaven Sect in the Sun Moon Sect. The two worlds are not connected, so how could the strong men from the Holy Heaven Sect come to the Sun Moon Sect? The teleportation array is activated, and whoever comes here is recorded by the Dragon Emperor. You can ask the Dragon Lord about this.”
"Let me guess, why would you take such a huge risk to come to Kunyumen?"
Xiao Chen ignored Tao Tiesheng's words and lit another cigarette.
"Is it because you are afraid? Or is it that the Sun Moon Sect is afraid? So, you have to come here to persuade me, or to temporarily hold off the Wulin Alliance from attacking?"
"Alliance Leader Xiao, if that's what you said, then I don't need to take the risk myself, I can just send someone here."
Tao Tiesheng shook his head slowly.
"I don't believe you coming. If I send just any random person... like the two behind you, they might not even see me before they get hacked to death."
As Xiao Chen spoke, his eyes swept over the two people behind Tao Tiesheng.
“…”
No matter how angry the two were, when they met Xiao Chen's gaze, their hearts trembled again and they lost their temper.
"As the deputy sect leader, you have some status after all. If you come, you will have a better chance of convincing me."
Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Even if you can't convince me, keeping them as hostages will be more important and will play a greater role..."
“…”
Tao Tiesheng looked at Xiao Chen, and his expression finally turned cold.
When Xiao Yi saw Tao Tiesheng's expression, he laughed in his heart. This kid is really good at talking.
If it were him and Long Zhuifeng, the same effect might not be achieved.
"Alliance Leader Xiao has decided to go to war with the Sun Moon Sect because of a misunderstanding?"
Tao Tiesheng asked in a deep voice.
"It's not that it has been decided, but the Longmen army is almost at the Sun Moon Sect."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"What?!"
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tao Tiesheng could no longer remain calm and stood up abruptly.
"Are you serious?"
"Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“Perhaps by the time Senior Tao returns, the Longmen army will have already crushed the Sun Moon Sect… Of course, that assumes you can still go back.”
“…”
Tao Tiesheng stared at Xiao Chen, with terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.
Xiao Chen had an indifferent expression and sat there, unmoved.
"Dragon Lord, this... is not in accordance with the rules, right?"
Tao Tiesheng took a deep breath, suppressed his murderous intent, and looked at Long Zhuifeng.
"Senior Tao, this has nothing to do with the Dragon Emperor. Longmen and the Wulin Alliance are not controlled by the Dragon Emperor..."
Long Zhuifeng shook his head.
"I have also sent people to the Sun Moon Sect to get a clear idea of this matter... As for what Longmen and Wulin Alliance should do, it's up to Alliance Leader Xiao to decide."
“…”
Tao Tiesheng narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect Long Zhuifeng to push it away so cleanly.
"Senior Tao, I think you should think about one thing carefully at this time."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen said.
"What's up?"
Tao Tiesheng asked coldly, no longer looking like before.
"How do you leave Kunyu Gate safely?"
Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"This Kunyu Gate is not a place where you can come and go as you please."
"Why, Alliance Leader Xiao wants to keep me here?"
Tao Tiesheng looked at Xiao Chen and his voice became even colder.
"Haha, didn't Senior Tao just say that he was willing to stay?"
Xiao Chen's smile became even wider.
"I think this is a good idea... How about this, Senior Tao stays here, and Longmen goes into the Sun Moon Sect to search. If there is no evidence, then we can withdraw, and I will let Senior Tao go. How do you think?"
"Alliance Leader Xiao, don't you think this is too much of a bully?"
Tao Tiesheng could not hide his anger.
"I came here with sincerity. I don't want the martial arts world to have any more disputes. I don't want the Holy Heaven Sect's conspiracy to succeed. But the result is like this?"
"How does Senior Tao compare to Gong Yangchun and Gong Tiangong?"
Xiao Chen ignored Tao Tiesheng's words and asked.
"Even they died at Kunyu Gate. How confident are you, Senior Tao, that you can fight your way out?"
"Two countries are at war, but they still don't kill envoys... If Lord Xiao wants to keep me here, how will the outside world view you if the news gets out?"
Tao Tiesheng said in a deep voice.
"Is Senior Tao an envoy?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Didn't Senior Tao come to rescue Sun Venerable Xie Gan?"
