Everyone was stunned by the Holy Swordsman's sudden attack. Soon after, the scene became quiet. Countless gazes locked onto the Holy Swordsman as if they were waiting for something.
The Holy Swordsman had an extraordinary status among the nine ancient clans. They were existences above the patriarchs of the nine clans.
The Holy Swordsman had the final say in any matter of the nine clans.
However, after the great war between the nine clans and the humans hundreds of thousands of years ago, the nine ancient clans suffered heavy casualties and had to lay dormant in the Jiuli Demon Domain for hundreds of thousands of years.
During these hundreds of thousands of years, the status of the Holy Swordsman had declined, but this did not affect his authoritative status.
Therefore, when the Holy Swordsman attacked, everyone became cautious.
Nie Tian looked at the Holy Swordsman with a shocked expression.
Although the Holy Swordsman had attacked casually, judging from his aura, his strength far surpassed that of Flourishing Flame, Mu Xiongshan, and the others.
It was as if there was a mysterious power floating around the Holy Swordsman, giving him an inviolable dignity.
Flourishing Flame, Mu Xiongshan, and the others were already peak Paramount Gods, but the Holy Swordsman's strength was far above theirs. Just how strong was the Holy Swordsman?
"Nie Tian!" Just as Nie Tian was feeling bewildered, Fat Cat's trembling voice rang out. "I really didn't expect this old man to have the strength of a half-step Saint!"
Hearing these two words, Nie Tian's eyes trembled and his expression froze. He was speechless for a long time. "Half-step Saint!"
No wonder the Holy Swordsman's strength was far above Flourishing Flame and the others. It turned out that he was a half-step Saint!
Half-step Saint was a very terrifying realm. It referred to those who already had one foot in the Saint Realm.
Fat Cat had said that in the near future, Huo Jiushen would become a half-step Saint.
In the past, Nie Tian had no idea what a half-step Saint was. Now that he saw the Holy Swordsman attack, he understood how terrifying a half-step Saint was.
After all, a Half Sage could easily kill a peak Paramount God!
Nie Tian had never imagined that he would encounter a legendary half-step Saint here. It was too terrifying.
"Are you two done messing around?" The Saint Decisionmaker's face was gloomy. His gaze swept across Yan Sheng and Mu Xiong Shan. He reprimanded them Coldly, "You two Clan Leaders are fighting in front of so many people. What a scandal! The face of the Ancient Era's Nine Clans has been utterly lost by the two of you! "
"Mu Xiong Shan knows his mistake." Mu Xiong Shan hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"What about you?" The Saint Finisher's eyes darkened as he looked at Yan Sheng.
"Yan Sheng knows his mistake." Yan Sheng lowered his head. Even though he was unwilling, he did not dare to show it.
The dignity of a Saint Duel Master could not be challenged!
"It's good that you know your mistakes." The Sacred Duelist nodded slightly, sweeping his gaze across everyone before finally locking onto Nie Tian. He said in a clear voice, "You're the main character of this incident, so shouldn't you stand up and say something?"
Nie Tian was slightly taken aback. His figure immediately moved and arrived beside the Sacred Duelist and the others.
When Yan Sheng saw Nie Tian, he hurriedly took a step forward and said emotionally, "Lord Sacred Duelist, this human brat colluded with the ninth princess of the Wood Elves and caused the death of my son. I beg you to uphold justice for my Fire Elf Race!"
"Yan Sheng, this Sacred Duelist knows how to do things. I don't need you to teach me." The Sacred Duelist glared at Yan Sheng Coldly and said, "If your son is really dead, no matter who the murderer is, this Sacred Duelist will not allow him to live!"
"Thank you, Lord Sacred Duelist!" Yan Sheng bowed and expressed his gratitude. His gaze toward Nie Tian was extremely vicious.
Nie Tian looked at the Sacred Duelist and his eyes slightly narrowed. He thought to himself, 'Luckily, I didn't kill Yan Wuzun back then. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. However, I don't know if this Sacred Duelist has the ability to find out the truth. '
At this moment, the Sacred Duelist looked at Nie Tian and asked, "You're called Nie Tian, right?"
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Very good." The Sacred Duelist nodded slightly. His sharp eyes stared at Nie Tian and said, "Nie Tian, this Sacred Duelist has a question for you. The Ninth Prince of the Fire Elf Race, Yan Wuzun, was it you and the ninth princess of the Wood Elves, Mu Xi who killed him?"
"Lord Sacred Duelist, if I say no, would you believe me?" Nie Tian asked calmly.
The Sacred Duelist's eyes were like water, without the slightest ripple, as he calmly said, "You don't need to probe this Sacred Duelist's attitude. You just need to tell me yes or no. As for what is the truth, this Sacred Duelist will judge for himself."
"No." Nie Tian answered directly and told the Sacred Duelist what had happened. In the end, he pointed at Xue Xing and said, "Yan Wuzun was indeed injured by me, but the one who killed him was him!"
"You're slandering me!" When Xue Xing saw Nie Tian pointing at him, he immediately cried out and said, "I have no enmity with Yan Wuzun. Why would I kill him?"
"Why?" Nie Tian asked. His expression changed as he said, "To frame me, and to provoke a war between the Wood Elf Race and the Fire Elf Race."
"In this entire matter, Princess Mu Xi never fought with Yan Wuzun. You only dragged her into it to cause a war between the Fire Elf Race and the Fire Elf Race."
"You, you, you're talking nonsense! You're spouting bullshit!" Xue Xing panicked. He took out an image stone and activated it in front of everyone.
The image stone showed the scene of Nie Tian defeating Yan Wuzun with a single sword strike.
"This …" When everyone saw the scene in the image stone, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. They looked at Nie Tian in shock and disbelief.
Just now, Nie Tian had personally said that he had defeated Yan Wuzun, but no one believed him.
After all, Yan Wuzun was a late Paramount God, while Nie Tian was only a late Overgod. How could Nie Tian have defeated him?
However, the scene in the image stone proved that Nie Tian wasn't lying.
Pointing at the image stone, Xue Xing said with both excitement and fear, "See? This is the proof that this human brat killed Yan Wuzun. He killed Yan Wuzun with a single sword strike."
He was excited because the image stone was his greatest trump card. But he was afraid that others would doubt it.
As expected, everyone looked at Xue Xing with a strange expression.
There were so many people present, and not a single one of them was an idiot. They could all tell that everything Nie Tian said was closer to the truth.
Furthermore, the image stone in Xue Xing's hand was full of holes.
The image stone only recorded the scene of Nie Tian defeating Yan Wuzun with a single sword strike. It didn't record how Yan Wuzun had died.
If Xue Xing really wanted to record it, how could he have left out such a crucial scene?
And the most suspicious thing was why Xue Xing would use the image stone to record everything. Wasn't that clearly implying that he had ulterior motives?
It would have been better if Xue Xing hadn't taken out the image stone. But now that he did, it made him even more suspicious.
"W-why are you all looking at me like that? Could it be that you'd rather believe a human than me? "Being stared at by everyone, Xue Xing's face turned pale, and his voice trembled.
