Chapter 181 Doubt
"Uncle?"
Meng Ziyuan shouted unwillingly when he was stopped, but Cang Shuzi only took two steps forward.
Seeing this, he knew that it would be useless to say anything, but since he, Sanyuan Sect, was the one who reported the news, he had to tell everyone what he had seen and heard.
He faced everyone's gaze and said in a deep voice, "Hearing is not as good as seeing. I know that you may have only heard a few pieces of news from the Sanyuan Sect, and everything is still to be verified. But the Beihai Sect was attacked by monsters and killed, and the Taoist friends from the Seventeen Sects have not yet rushed to Qinghuai City. These are indeed what happened. Although Wen Bumian disbanded the Zizai Sect, he cannot explain the reasons for these two things."
Hearing this, Xu Yushan of Fuyunxuan also stood up and said, "I agree with Sect Leader Cang's concerns. Since he dared to attack the sect, he will not flee easily. Disbanding Zizai Sect may be a move to save the king."
When she saw her master again, Mu Qingge's eyes lit up, and Xu Yushanren also nodded slightly at her.
After hearing what Cang Shuzi and Xu Yushanren said, the discussion in the field gradually split into two factions.
One group believes that there are many suspicious points about Wen Bumian and he should not be taken lightly, while the other group believes that everything may be a coincidence.
"Yes, even though the Zizai Sect has been disbanded, the fact that they are refining orcs is enough to alert us."
"Even the Cang Yu Sect, who are good at dealing with beasts, didn't figure it out. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
"May I ask, Master Cang, are you absolutely sure that the one-eyed silver wolf that attacked Beihai Gate is an orc?" During the discussion, one of them asked the key question.
Everyone looked at Cang Shuzi at the same time.
But Cang Shuzi hesitated. He had not confirmed this with his own eyes. This was something Bai Wangshu had just brought up at the meeting.
Seeing Cang Shuzi's reaction, everyone seemed more certain.
"So Sect Leader Cang was unable to confirm it? And brought this news to Qinghuai City?" A voice in the crowd carried a hint of sarcasm and doubt.
After hearing the meaning of that person's words, the faces of several disciples of Sanyuan Sect changed. Bai Wangshu even frowned, his face full of annoyance.
"It was me who fought with the one-eyed silver wolf. There is absolutely no mistake about this."
Bai Wangshu stood up and answered affirmatively, but she didn't expect that everyone would start talking again after seeing her.
Jiang Tingwan saw the expressions of the people on the screen. She had not figured out what Wen Bumian was doing yet, but her heart tightened. She seemed to see the answer in these people's eyes.
It turns out that he really has a photographic memory and knows every detail of the story.
He knew clearly the status of Sanyuan Sect in the entire immortal world, and knew the arrogance and complacency of these people, so as long as he showed a little vulnerability, it would lower these people's defenses.
These people have enjoyed the peace brought by authority for too long, so they would not take a coward who deserted from the battlefield seriously at all, and the news that they were originally wary of became unreliable at this moment.
Jiang Tingwan realized how terrifying Wen Bumian was. The terrifying thing was not his so-called cultivation strength, but his absolute control over the world.
She began to think about what Wen Bumian had said, and what kind of existence those worlds he had woken up in countless times were like.
"This must be Elder Bai from the Sanyuan Sect, right? It's not that we don't believe in your judgment, but..." The person who spoke hesitated, as if he was worried about something.
While some people were concerned, others were confident and stood up to continue what that person was saying.
"But I heard that Elder Bai was trapped by love and his heart was unclear. He destroyed an entire sect just because of someone else's words. It is still unknown whether the Xisui Sect really used young boys and girls to practice..."
As soon as these words were spoken, a gust of cold wind blew through Bai Wangshu's heart again. Jiang Tingwan shivered all over and could only quickly comfort her.
"I don't want to listen to the turtle's chanting... I won't bother with them..."
Jiang Tingwan was coaxing Bai Wangshu like he was a child, afraid that he would get angry.
But after hearing these words, Bai Wangshu did not get angry as expected. He just stared at those who spoke one by one, and a chill appeared in his eyes.
Her reaction was seen by everyone, and the people who were speaking subconsciously avoided such gazes.
After a long stalemate, Wei Tianqing finally stood up and said loudly: "Everyone is digressing again. Elder Bai is still an elder of a sect. Whether her judgment is accurate or not, we cannot take it lightly."
As he spoke, Wei Tianqing glanced at the people in the audience and continued:
"In my opinion, since the Zizai Sect members are scattered, there must be a key person who knows something. As long as we send disciples to investigate the matter, we will know whether Wen Bumian can really refine orcs. As for the lost Taoist friends from the seventeen sects..."
Pei Xuanzhi took over the conversation, "Wenhe Academy will send people out of the city to pick them up, and we also ask all the allies to help. Since they have come down the mountain, they will naturally leave some traces along the way."
Pei Xuanzhi spoke, and the crowd immediately united in an instant. With Wenhe Academy, Jiuxiao Fairy Pavilion, and Ziyang True Sect in charge, it was expected that Wen Bumian would not be able to cause any waves.
The other immortal sects that had been worried also responded as if they had been given a reassurance pill.
"It is my duty to do so."
Seeing that the people in the audience turned their guns away because of Pei Xuanzhi's words, Cang Shuzi's expression remained calm, but a hint of gloom gradually emerged in his eyes.
After seeing the scene off the field, Zhao Liyang glanced meaningfully at the people from Wenhe Academy, then stood up with his hands on his hips, and pointed at the people off the field with his other hand, but it was unclear who he was pointing at.
"Now that everything has been discussed, I will not accompany you any longer." There was a hint of impatience in his tone, and even a hint of anger, as if someone had asked him to draw his sword, but he just showed it and then put it back.
At this point, he happened to see Wei Tianqing standing opposite him, and he smiled and said, "It seems that Master is still knowledgeable and calm in the face of adversity. If I had known earlier, our sect would have learned from Pavilion Master Ye."
Zhao Liyang smiled sarcastically, and after saying these words, he didn't care about the attitude of the crowd, and immediately strode out of the square with the people of Zi Yang Zhen Zong.
"Everyone, disperse."
Su Ming's voice came from above, and also represented Pei Xuanzhi's meaning.
The people in the field gradually dispersed, and gradually only the Sanyuan Sect and Fuyunxuan Sect were left.
"Master Cang, don't worry. The immortal way has been peaceful for a thousand years, and the word 'worry' is no longer familiar to us." Hermit Xu Yu's words sounded like a comfort, and also revealed the truth about the outcome of the meeting just now.
But Cang Shuzi just smiled and didn't take those words to heart.
"Thank you, Sect Master Xu Yu, for speaking frankly just now." He glanced at Mu Qingge beside him and said, "Qingge, you and Sect Master Xu Yu haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm sure you have a lot to say. You should stay and talk to your master."
Although Mu Qingge was happy, after looking at Cang Shuzi's expression, she once again felt the faint sadness in him, and became curious about it again.
"Yes! Master."
After Cang Shuzi nodded slightly, he left with the disciples of Sanyuan Sect.
Bai Wangshu's face turned cold as he turned around.
"This is simply unreasonable!"
