In the face of Tao Ming and Yang Chen's accusations, Jun Wuya didn't seem to be worried at all. Dan Qing Yang and Yin Litian also nodded slightly in agreement. "Fine, let Xiao Chen come forward and confront him."
Dan Qing Yang was obviously on the side of the Sword Sect, but Yin Litian was on the same side as Tao Ming. This time, the Sovereigns sent Jun Wuya and the other three here because they had already thought it through.
Jun Wuya and Dan Qing Yang were close, and Tao Ming and Yin Litian were on the same side. In this way, there were four Sovereigns and two against two, which was relatively fair.
If all the Venerable Emperors who were on good terms with Tao Ming or Jun Wu Ya were sent here, it would obviously be impossible to be fair and just.
Therefore, even though Yin Litian wanted to directly convict Xiao Chen, there was nothing wrong with what Jun Wuya had said. It was impossible to punish Xiao Chen just based on Yang Chen's one-sided statement. This was indeed unreasonable. Even though Yin Litian didn't agree with Jun Wuya's suggestion, he still agreed with Jun Wuya's suggestion.
Moreover, in Yin Litian's opinion, this matter was already set in stone. Even if Xiao Chen came forward, what harm could it do? Could Xiao Chen turn the tables when the facts were right in front of him?
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived. But before Yang Chen's smile could fully bloom, Xiao Chen burst into tears as soon as he entered the room.
"Master, seniors, you have to uphold justice for me."
If Yang Chen's accusation was said to be filled with hatred, then Xiao Chen was bawling at this moment. Xiao Chen did not even bother to ask. He simply cried out loud, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
Looking at Xiao Chen's appearance, Yang Chen was stunned. Even Tao Ming and Yin Litian, who were sitting on the main seats, were stunned. For a moment, they didn't understand the situation at all.
Wasn't the Heavenly Sect being cheated? Why did it seem like the Sword Sect had been cheated?
Xiao Chen's shout stunned everyone present. After a while, Dan Qingyang spoke first with a helpless smile on his face.
"Xiao Chen, calm down. Tell me honestly what happened."
Dan Qing Yang couldn't figure out what Xiao Chen was up to, but soon, as Xiao Chen explained, the expressions of the four Sovereigns changed.
"Teacher, Vice Sect Master Cang Xing has left. In this battle, three vice sect masters of our Swords Gate have fallen. As for the remaining elders, deacons, and elders, we have also lost over a thousand people. This is all because of Yang Chen. He purposely set me up, causing the Swords Gate to be surrounded by the evil cultivators. He has betrayed us and colluded with the enemy. If it wasn't for the fact that I was prepared beforehand, I reckon that our Swords Gate would have been wiped out."
The Sword Sect had lost three End Realm Vice Sect Masters? There were also thousands of Elders, Elders, and Deacons who had died. And the reason for all of this was because of Yang Chen's plot, causing the Sword Sect to be surrounded by the Evil Path's Martial Artists.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yang Chen couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Chen, you … you are slandering us. It was clearly your Sword Sect's plot that caused our Heavenly Sect's Martial Artists to be surrounded. You …"
"Yang Chen, you are the one who is slandering us. Now you dare to play the blame game?" Hearing this, Xiao Chen roared angrily, his face filled with grief and indignation.
One had to admit that Xiao Chen's acting was simply perfect. Looking at him, it was as if the Sword Sect had really suffered a heavy blow.
Hearing the quarrel between Xiao Chen and Yang Chen, Tao Ming and Yin Litian frowned. If Xiao Chen's words were true, then the Sword Sect's losses were undoubtedly the greatest. And they couldn't punish Xiao Chen.
Not only couldn't they punish Xiao Chen, but Yang Chen himself also couldn't escape punishment. After all, the Sword Sect's losses were so great that someone naturally had to take responsibility. Otherwise, what would the other factions think of them? When the time came, wouldn't the Great Thousand World collapse by itself?
If Xiao Chen's words were true, then the Heavenly Sect's losses were nothing. Not only that, but Yang Chen also had to take responsibility and give an explanation to the other factions of the Great Thousand World. Even Tao Ming and Yin Litian didn't dare to cover this up, because it would incur the wrath of the other factions.
Their expressions became very unsightly, but Tao Ming still said in a deep voice, "Xiao Chen, you say the Sword Sect's losses are great. Do you have any proof?"
"What proof do I need? My Sword Sect's three vice sect masters have died. Everyone knows this. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to verify it yourself, "Xiao Chen roared in grief and indignation.
Xiao Chen naturally wasn't afraid of Tao Ming sending someone to investigate. In any case, Cang Xing and the others weren't here at all. What could he do when there was no proof?
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tao Ming unconsciously glanced at Yang Chen. Clearly, Tao Ming was somewhat suspicious of Yang Chen. Could it be that Yang Chen had schemed to frame the Sword Sect? Now he's the one making the accusation?
Sensing his Honoured Master's gaze, Yang Chen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Even his Honoured Master didn't believe him. Immediately, Yang Chen angrily said, "I didn't! I absolutely didn't scheme to frame the Sword Sect! Xiao Chen is slandering me!"
"Hmph, whether it's slandering or not, the Sovereigns will know once they investigate," Xiao Chen coldly snorted.
This time, Xiao Chen had made it clear that he wanted to kill Yang Chen. Not only did he want the Heavenly Sect to suffer heavy losses, but he also wanted Yang Chen to be his scapegoat. Moreover, the punishment that Yang Chen had to bear this time obviously wouldn't be light, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to convince the public.
Seeing Xiao Chen so full of confidence, Tao Ming felt even more uncertain. At the same time, he was even more suspicious of Yang Chen. After all, Tao Ming was very clear about his disciple's temperament. Yang Chen was really capable of slandering others.
However, if what Xiao Chen said was true, then wasn't Yang Chen too stupid? Since he had already schemed to frame the Sword Sect, was there still a need for him to make the accusation first?
Did Yang Chen really think that the Sovereigns were all idiots? Idiots? That they could punish Xiao Chen just because of his one-sided words?
For some reason, Tao Ming was a little disappointed in Yang Chen. Sensing the change in his Honoured Master's gaze, Yang Chen felt like he had to suffer in silence, unable to say anything.
He was clearly the one who had been tricked by Xiao Chen, but in the end, why did it feel like he was the one making the accusation first?
However, even though he was a little disappointed in Yang Chen, Tao Ming still had to side with him. Therefore, at this time, Tao Ming could only brace himself and say.
"Men, go to the Sword Sect's encampment and see if Xiao Chen's words are true."
No matter what, they still had to confirm whether Xiao Chen's words were true. As for the rest, they could talk about it later.
