The First Demon King listened to the discussions below the stage. The mocking smile on his face became more and more obvious.
He suddenly stepped forward and pointed at a purple-bearded elder below the stage. "Zi Xiao, you're really enjoying your scolding. I know you're from Mount Fangcun, but you don't have the right to speak. When Mount Fangcun was surrounded, your Purple Sun Sect was the closest. It's impossible that you didn't receive any news. Why didn't you go to help? "
The purple-bearded elder's face flushed red when he was scolded. He held back for a long time but couldn't say anything.
Then, the First Demon King's gaze swept across the crowd. All the cursing quieted down. Those who were still angry before unconsciously avoided his gaze, afraid that he would call them out and publicly punish them.
Seeing that no one below the stage retorted, the First Demon King was very satisfied.
He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, look. Mount Fangcun has already violated the taboo. We just did what all of you wanted to do but didn't have the guts to do. Yes, we're mainly responsible for the attack on Mount Fangcun, but Mount Fangcun's own problems shouldn't be ignored. To put it bluntly, flies don't bite seamless eggs. "
After he finished speaking, not only were there no more scoldings, there were also many cheers.
"Well said. The Fangcun Mountain is a sect of the human race. If it were a demon or a demon, they would have been eradicated long ago. No one would come out to criticize them, right?" Someone from the demon race below the stage said.
Li Jing looked at the changes in the scene. Seeing that the First Demon King didn't completely target the Heavenly Palace, his expression softened.
"Silence." Cheng Yaojin saw this and ordered. The square quieted down once more.
"Although this incident was caused by Mount Fangcun's inappropriate actions, the Yao and Demon Races still can't be tolerated. They should be severely punished." Li Jing continued.
These words were undoubtedly the final conclusion of this matter.
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other. Their eyes flashed a hint of puzzlement.
It seemed that the two of them hadn't expected Li Jing to say this.
Shen Luo, who was already at the limit of his patience, finally couldn't take it anymore. He slapped the chair under him, shattering it into pieces. He stood up abruptly.
When everyone saw this, they were shocked and looked at him one after another.
"Everyone, have you all forgotten that it's not as if no one from Mount Fangcun is participating in this competition? So, you all have no right to make irresponsible remarks like this!" Shen Luo shouted angrily.
"Little friend Shen …" Cheng Yaojin hurriedly called out.
"Little Friend Shen, don't be impulsive. Don't fall for the Demons' plan of sowing discord," Yuan Tiangang said telepathically.
Lu Huaming, who was standing in the distance, frowned and hesitated.
His master, Cheng Yaojin, was transmitting a message to him, asking him to help persuade Shen Luo. However, after listening to the words of those people, he also had some nameless anger in his heart. He did not know, nor did he want to persuade Shen Luo.
"What do you mean by Fangcun Mountain's actions are inappropriate?" Shen Luo ignored everyone's persuasion and asked instead.
No one answered.
"What do you mean by flies don't bite a seamless egg?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
Still, no one answered.
Li Jing frowned as he looked at Shen Luo. A cold smile flashed in the First Demon King's eyes.
Yang Jian looked at him, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"What, do you think Fangcun Mountain is not in the wrong?" Li Jing asked coldly.
"When Fangcun Mountain joined the alliance to resist the Demons, why didn't you say they were in the wrong? When they protected the supreme treasure and prevented the Stately Painting from falling into the hands of the Demons, why didn't you say they were in the wrong? When Fangcun Mountain's disciples were wantonly slaughtered to guard the Well of the Demons and Gods, why didn't you say they were in the wrong? "Shen Luo asked in rapid succession.
"Shen Luo," Cheng Yaojin said with a deep frown.
Shen Luo turned a deaf ear to this, nor did he look at Cheng Yaojin's suggestive eyes.
He knew in his heart that the First Demon King had deliberately said those words to intensify the internal conflict between the Human Race and the Immortal Race. However, he did not want to swallow this anger for the sake of the greater good.
To hell with flies don't bite a seamless egg. These disgusting flies of the Demons had no place to stay, and yet they were still advocating that the victims were in the wrong.
"You guys from the Demon Race and the Demons, do you really think you're innocent? Do you dare tell me why you attacked Fangcun Mountain? And what did you all do? "Shen Luo asked with a cold snort.
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone on the platform changed slightly.
The First Demon King's expression turned serious. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at Shen Luo.
When they learned that no one from Fangcun Mountain was participating in the alliance this time, they were all pleasantly surprised. When they saw Shen Luo, they did not take him too seriously.
After all, maintaining the peace of the Three Realms was the common understanding of all the races and sects. Thus, he had said those words without any scruples, trying to shift the blame onto Fangcun Mountain.
And for the sake of their own interests and the stability of the Three Realms, the Celestial Palace and the Great Tang government would definitely not expose his lies. They would not reveal that they had attacked Fangcun Mountain to break the seal on the Well of Gods and Demons.
But what he did not know was that Shen Luo simply did not care about this false peace, and was even willing to personally tear it to shreds.
If things had gone according to what Cheng Yaojin had said earlier, Shen Luo might have turned a blind eye to it. However, since Demon King Kui insisted on doing this, Shen Luo naturally could not tolerate it any longer.
"Shen Daoyou!"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly called out, interrupting Shen Luo who was just about to reveal the truth.
Shen Luo glanced back at him and then at the First Demon King, emphasizing each word, "The name of Fangcun Mountain cannot be sullied."
The First Demon King grinned, revealing his white teeth as he glared at Shen Luo. Golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a powerful Divine Sense silently shot out toward Shen Luo.
Shen Luo sensed that something was wrong, but he stood straight, not even averting his eyes as he coldly stared back at the First Demon King.
In the next moment, that Divine Sense directly nailed into Shen Luo's Knowledge Sea, and an incomparably sharp trident appeared. It was entwined with black lightning as it pierced towards Shen Luo's Divine Soul.
There was a thunderous boom in Shen Luo's sea of consciousness, and then a majestic mountain suddenly appeared.
The trident collided with the mountain, causing it to shake violently. A hundred-meter-long crack appeared on the mountain. The trident was also broken, turning into specks of crystal light that dissipated.
Shen Luo's body trembled, and there was a buzzing in his ears. His vision suddenly darkened, but it quickly returned to normal.
The First Demon King's expression flickered, and the golden patterns in his eyes did not disperse, but instead gathered together and became even brighter.
He had originally thought that he could easily crush a True Immortal cultivator with the power of his Divine Sense, but he had not expected to run into such a solid obstacle. He could not help but want to kill him.
