Shen Luo turned a deaf ear to the surrounding voices. He cupped his fists and bowed to Cheng Yaojin, Yuan Tiangang, and Fairy Blue Lotus. He didn't even look at Blue-furred Lion King or Yang Jian, nor did he care about the reactions of those below the stage. He walked to the only seat across from him and calmly sat down.
When they saw Hu Bugui across from them, the two of them were stunned for a moment before nodding to each other in greeting.
Everyone present was stunned, and the voices of doubt and reproach instantly quieted down.
None of them were fools. When they saw Shen Luo's actions without anyone coming forward to stop him, they knew that his identity was special. However, the curiosity and doubt in their hearts became even stronger.
"Everyone, please calm down. This Shen Daoyou is representing Miniscule Mountain today to confront Lion Camel Ridge, Demon King's Stronghold, Coiling Silk Cave, and Overwave City. He is representing Patriarch Subhuti. "Cheng Yaojin stood up and walked forward, dispelling everyone's doubts.
Hearing this, everyone on the stage remained calm. Obviously, they already knew in advance. Below the stage, there was a commotion. They all guessed Shen Luo's identity. He should be Patriarch Subhuti's direct disciple, or even his most valued last disciple.
However, Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything about Shen Luo's other identities.
"Everyone, the purpose of this Evolution and Peace Conference is to lead the Three Realms to harmony and achieve peace for all races. However, there was a major event that shocked the Three Realms and disturbed the peace. Presumably, everyone already knows that Miniscule Mountain was besieged. "Cheng Yaojin cleared his throat and said.
Everyone fell silent once more.
"I know that there are all sorts of rumors about this matter in the Three Realms, and all sorts of rumors have been passed around. But today, I want to clarify the cause and effect of this matter and reorganize it. I want to tell everyone in detail." Cheng Yaojin continued.
"Good." Below the stage, there were sects that had received kindness from Miniscule Mountain. They immediately responded.
"Please be objective and impartial. You must give justice to Miniscule Mountain." Someone responded.
Those from the monster race and Demons sects kept their mouths shut, not making the slightest sound.
"Speaking of this …" Following that, Cheng Yaojin began to recount the cause and effect of the incident at Mount Fangcun.
Shen Luo listened from the side. The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Under Cheng Yaojin's description, the extermination operation led by the four major sects and many small and medium-sized sects turned into a blunder caused by various misunderstandings.
In this incident, the Lion Camel Ridge and the Coiling Silk Cave still had to bear the main responsibility, while the Demon King's Stronghold and Lingbo City had to bear the secondary responsibility. As for the alliance between the Demon Race and the Demon Race to try to open the seal of the Demon God Well, it was simply not mentioned.
Shen Luo couldn't help but frown. His hands gripped the armrest of the chair so tightly that blue veins appeared on the back of his hands.
Just when he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to get up to refute, the voice of State Preceptor Yuan Tiangang suddenly sounded in his sea of consciousness.
"Shen Daoyou, don't be angry. We have discussed this matter with Mount Innerheart, and they have agreed. "Yuan Tiangang's tone was neither hurried nor slow.
"They agreed? The ancestors have not lost their minds. How could they agree to this kind of thing? "Shen Luo didn't believe it at all.
At this time, he even thought that it was for this reason that no one from Mount Innerheart came to participate in this meeting, but instead let him take the place.
"You can rest assured that the sanctions against the sects involved will not be little, but they cannot be punished for the crime of reopening the Demon God Well. Otherwise, it will be easy to intensify the contradictions between the various clans. This is not what we want to see now." Yuan Tiangang continued to transmit his voice.
Shen Luo heard this and did not speak, falling into deep thought.
Yuan Tiangang also did not say anything.
"Has this matter really been agreed by Patriarch Bodhi?" A moment later, Shen Luo asked.
"What, even my words are not worthy of your trust?" Yuan Tiangang laughed.
Shen Luo paused and did not say anything more, tacitly admitting it.
"Chief Demon King, Ice Fairy, Yang Jian, Lion King, do you have any objections to the whole matter?" After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he turned to Yang Jian and the others and asked.
"No." Yang Jian did not hesitate at all and said first.
His tone was crisp and neat, and he did not even try to defend himself by saying that he was bewitched or something.
"Although I am the Cave Master of the Coiling Silk Cave, I am also the leader of a sect. I really don't know about this matter. It was my Senior Sister Hua Shiniang who acted without permission and caused deep suffering to the other sects. I am really ashamed." Ice Fairy's eyes were full of shame as she said.
"No." Blue Fur Lion King's face was livid as he simply said.
He knew about the attack on Mount Innerheart, and he also agreed to it because his two sworn brothers said with certainty that this matter was instructed by the Heavenly Palace and there would be no hidden dangers.
Who would have thought that now, the Heavenly Palace was the high and mighty judge, and they were the ones being punished?
"This matter was not strictly managed by my subordinates, and there should not be any objections. However, if you want to say that only a few of our sects are to blame, I'm afraid it is a little unfair, right?" Chief Demon King stood up and said unhurriedly.
"Oh, what do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Kui?" Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly and asked.
"We Demons have long since submitted to the Immortals. Without the Immortals' instructions, we would not have the guts to do such a thing. Isn't that right, everyone?" Chief Demon King was still indifferent as he said.
When the people below the stage heard this, many of them frowned, but no one said anything in response. They all took a wait-and-see attitude.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became serious.
"Do you mean to say that the Heavenly Palace ordered you to attack Mount Innerheart?" As soon as Li Jing's words rang out, a vigorous aura suddenly bloomed, and an incomparably strong sense of oppression immediately swept out in all directions.
Shen Luo's body swayed slightly, but he quickly steadied himself.
"Heavenly King Li, there is no need to be in a hurry to pressure us with your aura. This Harmony Evolution Conference is about reason, not strength. Besides, I did not say that the Heavenly Palace ordered us to do so. I only said that we should not bear all the responsibility, "Chief Demon King said with a cold smile, completely unafraid.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Li Jing raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I'm sure everyone is well aware of the cause of this matter at Mount Innerheart. They have been recruiting disciples from all over the Three Realms, regardless of whether they are humans, Immortals, Demons, or Yao. They have never rejected anyone, and to a great extent, they have broken the rules of the various races. Their ambition to rule over the Three Realms is clear as day. In addition, Patriarch Subhuti's cultivation is high, and he possesses the supreme treasure, the Mountain and River Map. He is already feared by all the sects of the Three Realms. What we have done is merely to comply with the will of the Three Realms," Chief Demon King said, spreading out his hands.
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a stone had been thrown into the water, causing a wave of splashes.
The noise below the stage immediately grew louder, and there was no lack of fierce curses among them.
Shen Luo also frowned deeply, and one of his hands unconsciously clenched tightly.
Before he had come, he had already known that this conference would not be a good one, and that something would most likely happen. He just hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
