What my disciple did was completely right, and what your son did was completely wrong!
Someone quickly reported his son being beaten like this. The old man Jian Yi was furious and rushed over, ready to strike Cong Mo with his sword, "You bold boy! How dare you hurt my son!"
"So what if I hurt your son?" Cong Mo released her foot, dodging the sword energy. She grabbed Wang Xiao by the collar and dragged him backwards. The wind whistled, raising a cloud of dust. She stood on the tree, like a messenger of judgment. "If it weren't for your indulgence, your son wouldn't have become a criminal bully and a laughing stock!"
"You..." The old man Jian Yi ordered his disciples to surround her, all pointing their swords at her, and spoke to her as softly as possible, "Release my son, and I can spare your life."
"Spare my life, huh..." Cong Mo sneered mercilessly, "You really think too highly of yourself."
"What nonsense! What on earth do you want to do?"
"Since you know I'm coming, you should know why!" Cong Mo slapped Wang Xiao in the face in front of all the disciples. The slap was so powerful that several of his teeth flew out, and he slid in a perfect arc in the air. "You must be aware of the rumors about the Wuqing Dao!"
Slapping his son in the face in front of his father was undoubtedly a lack of respect for him. Cong Mo stepped on the two extremely important things, life of bloodline and dignity of elders, and trampled them hard.
"What on earth do you guys from Wuqing Mountain want to do that makes you so provocative? Do you want to stir up chaos in the Immortal Mountain?" The old man Jian Yi's face flushed red, spitting from his mouth, and he escalated the matter into something bigger.
Cong Mo looked disdainful, completely unmoved by his moral coercion. "Don't mention anything else. I just came here to know what you, Master Jian Yi, think about the rumor. Since you allowed it to happen, you should have expected this to happen one day."
The old man Jian Yi's expression changed slightly, and he responded casually, "Of course I know about this matter. We are also investigating who spread the rumor. This will take time. You have to give us time, right? How can we find the cause in one go?"
"Time..." Cong Mo scoffed, his tone sarcastic. "Master Jianyi, if I hadn't come here in person today, I'd never have found out who spread this rumor. After all, the mastermind is your beloved son, and I'm not someone you can fool. Master Jianyi, you're in charge of Jianshan, your spiritual power and abilities surpass all the disciples, yet you let your son do as he pleases. Besides the rumors, you must know how he bullies the weak in Jianshan. I think the one who should admit his mistake is you, not him!"
"Are you really tired of living? How dare you talk to me!" The old man Jian Yi was forced to anger, and was about to rush forward. However, halfway through, he was forced back by the sword against Wang Xiao's neck.
"Whatever you want, I can give it to you, but please don't hurt my son." The old man Jian Yi begged bitterly, "Just consider it as a father's understanding."
"I understand you." Cong Mo looked at him as if he were watching a joke, and pulled Wang Xiao's hair back tightly, almost tearing off his scalp. "From the beginning to the end, I just wanted to find the truth. I understand you, but who told me to understand me, to understand Wuqingshan? You? What kind of ability do you have!"
The old man Jian Yi looked at Wang Xiao who was beaten beyond recognition. He felt so distressed that he couldn't even refute her. "I, I will agree to whatever you want."
"Jianshan has been carefully guarded, and the crystal ball is observing every area. I need you to use your spiritual power to replay the entire process of Wang Xiao's conspiracy to spread rumors."
Looking at Wang Xiao's neck, which was already bleeding, the old man Jian Yi gritted his teeth and agreed cruelly, "Okay, you wait, go to the treasury and get the crystal ball."
The crystal ball was taken and placed on the fairy stone. The old man Jian Yi waved his spiritual power to drive it to replay.
The crystal ball projected onto the large screen. After several frames, it locked onto Wang Xiao, who was speaking to the disciples beside him. "These two people from Wuqing Mountain seem strange. They seem to have a very close relationship."
"Yeah! I'm afraid they have some other relationship!"
“It’s possible!”
Another disciple leaned over and whispered something in Wang Xiao's ear.
Wang Xiao was shocked after hearing this, "This is not good!"
"There's nothing wrong with that." The disciple who was whispering to him curled his lips and smiled, "Brother, let's see how I do next."
The only person who continued to spread rumors was that disciple, and there was no sign of Wang Xiao spreading rumors at all.
The old man Jian Yi looked at her with a smug look on his face.
Cong Mo didn't pay him any attention. He scanned the disciples and, after confirming that he couldn't find the disciple shown in the crystal ball, he shouted, "Enough!"
Although she had made full mental preparations, she still felt disappointed when she saw it actually happen.
The old man Jian Yi challenged, "You attacked my son without finding out the truth. I don't blame you anymore, but I cannot forgive you for hurting my son now."
The disciples below were discussing endlessly, all blaming Cong Mo.
"The people of Wuqing Mountain are really not good people. I think she really doesn't deserve the first place in this Sword Mountain Competition!"
"The people of Wuqing Mountain must have some hidden agenda to do this!"
"This farce was caused by something other than my senior brother. Doesn't she feel ashamed?"
"Master Jianyi, this is not the way to behave!" Cong Mo's face had darkened to a certain extent, her pupils so deep that they seemed to be able to suck people in. If she had come to Jianshan to dispel the rumors just to please Leng Can, now she was really driven to anger by the people of Jianshan. "Do you really think I would rashly go after your eldest son without any evidence? I'm not a fool who can be fooled by you."
"you……"
The hand holding the sword loosened the hilt, and the sword was controlled by her through the air, naturally resting on Wang Xiao's neck. She raised her hand to the crystal ball, and the crystal ball, which was originally playing normally, suddenly started to run at high speed and emitted light.
"You truly love your son so much that you're willing to expend a great deal of spiritual energy modifying the crystal ball's memory. This must have taken you a long time!"
"You, stop it now!" The old man Jian Yi realized what she was doing and wanted to rush forward to stop her. The moment he moved, he was blocked by a sword that suddenly stabbed at his feet.
Cong Mo grabbed Wang Xiao's neck and lifted it high. "Master Jianyi, you'd better pray that after I completely repair the timeline, your son is still alive and breathing."
Watching the movement of the crystal ball and the miserable state of his son, the old man Jian Yi almost collapsed as he knew the secret hidden in it was about to be discovered. However, he was powerless and could only stand still, unable to do anything and let others manipulate him. He was unwilling but powerless.
Cong Mo is just a disciple of Xianshan, how could he have the ability to reverse the crystal ball? In his eyes, Cong Mo is now no different from a devil, very scary.
"Put away your swords." The old man Jian Yi said.
The disciples silently put away their swords, not daring to go on stage, quietly waiting for the situation to develop. Cong Mo saw that the old man Jian Yi stopped in place, and the disciples put away their swords and also put away their strength. They lifted Wang Xiao, tied his waist with spiritual power and sat him on the tree branch, allowing him to breathe easily. Up to now, an hour has passed. Cong Mo accelerated the spiritual power repair of the crystal ball. She was a little anxious. The talisman she set could only make Leng Can sleep for an hour. Leng Can should wake up now.
She shook her head, regretting her own self-confidence. She should set it for half an hour next time. Leng Can would be anxious if he woke up and couldn't see her, but she was even more helpless about the stubbornness of the old man Jian Yi. She didn't want to make such a big fuss about this matter. At most, she wanted to let everyone know the ugliness of Wang Xiao. She didn't want to involve the old man Jian Yi, but he insisted on getting involved himself, and Cong Mo would not stop him.
However, after a long time, the crystal ball returned to the normal timeline, and the first scene displayed by the crystal ball just now appeared, but the content displayed was very different.
"Brother, let's..."
"Shut up." Wang Xiao said with a sinister expression, "Who the hell are these people? They think they can compete with me for first place. Wait until I kill them."
"Put your ear close to me." Wang Xiao waved at him, and the two of them conspired in whispers.
After hearing this, the disciple immediately refused and waved his hands, wanting to leave in fear, but Wang Xiao pressed his neck and forced him to stay. He had no choice but to spread the rumors everywhere.
Wang Xiao was responsible for going to the human world and using silver to bribe some landlords and officials to teach them the disadvantages of the ruthless way and the advanced swordsmanship.
Slowly, the rumor spread.
This time, the mastermind shown in the video is Wang Xiao, and the two disciples beside him were forced to follow him after repeated coercion.
Everyone saw another side of the matter, and between the two truths, they didn't know which one to believe.
"You all know your senior brother better than I do!" Cong Mo shouted, "Do you believe that such a proud man like him would listen to the words of a disciple?"
The disciples looked at each other, and the discussion became louder and louder.
"She's right! Senior Brother usually bullies others by taking advantage of his power. Only he could do something like this."
"My senior brother always bullies us, and his followers also want to step on our heads."
"I choose to believe the one from Wuqing Mountain. She must have taken immense courage to come here alone to dispel the rumors."
The old man Jian Yi listened to the disciples' speeches behind him, staring at Cong Mo, his whole body emitting anger, but he did not say a word to defend himself.
"Jian Yi." Suddenly, a cool hand was placed on his shoulder. Jian Yi turned around subconsciously to look, but a familiar voice appeared on the other side, "Jian Yi, you are so old!"
Turning around again, the voice drifted further away, "Jian Yi, why are you still acting like a naughty old boy?"
The feeling of being fooled intensified his already burning anger, and he shouted, "Qingyi, come out now!"
"Your temper is still so bad..." The old man Qingyi appeared before him, grabbed his white beard and swung it at his face, winking at him playfully, "Jianyi, you have to change!"
"I changed, but it's your disciple who should change!" The old man Jianyi seemed to think he had found someone who could subdue Cong Mo. He pointed at her and complained to the old man Qingyi, "I'm not saying anything, Jianyi, but your disciple is really arrogant and disturbs the peace of Jianshan!"
The old man, Qingyi, opened his mouth wide, looked at Congmo, then back at him, with a look of deep guilt, "Jianyi! Don't be angry, after all, everything my disciple said was right! And everything your son did was wrong!"
