"Is that true?" Chi Yuanzi asked in disbelief.
Obviously, Elder Pang's words were out of everyone's expectations.
They had heard the rumor that the murderers who destroyed the Elysium were a group of young men and women for more than a day or two. They didn't know who the source of the news was, but everyone spread it, making them think that it was the truth.
Now that they heard Elder Pang say that the news had come from the Crimson Blood League, everyone was shocked.
"Sect Leader, I actually didn't believe this before, but I've already investigated in the sect, and this news really came from our sect! I've also found the disciple who spread the news, so we can call them in now! "Elder Pang had been shocked when he had first discovered this problem.
"Quick! Call those disciples in! "Chi Yuanzi said impatiently.
Not long after, two Crimson Blood Union disciples entered the sect's meeting hall, trembling with fear. This was a place where only the most powerful people in the sect could enter, so everyone here had the highest status in the sect.
When the two disciples saw so many big shots looking at them, their faces turned pale and they became even more nervous.
"Which peak are you from?" the Crimson Blood League leader asked the two disciples.
"Sect Leader, we are disciples from the Four Green Peaks!" one of the disciples said nervously.
The Four Green Peaks were the peaks of the Four Gentlemen. In the Crimson Blood League, anyone who entered the Mahayana Stage would be given an independent peak. The Four Green Peaks were connected by four peaks, and the Four Gentlemen had a good relationship with each other, so the Four Green Peaks were collectively known as the Four Green Peaks.
"How dare you! Do you know your crimes?!" Chi Yuanzi shouted angrily.
These guys had actually dared to spread such important news behind his back, and he, the Sect Leader of the Crimson Blood League, had been kept in the dark. This made him very unhappy, so he was naturally angry when he saw these two disciples.
"Sect Leader, please spare us! I don't know what crimes we have committed! " The two disciples, who were kneeling on the ground, saw the Sect Leader's angry expression and immediately fell to the ground, begging for mercy.
Even they didn't know what was going on. They were just some disciples who did odd jobs in the Four Green Peaks. They were usually well-behaved, so they didn't know how they had offended such a big shot like the Sect Leader.
"You said that it was a group of young men and women who destroyed the Gate of Heaven? How did you know? "Scarlet Yuanzi shouted.
"Sect Leader is wrongly accused. We are only working for the four deacons. This matter has nothing to do with us. Sect Leader, please investigate this matter!" The two disciples hurriedly explained when they heard this.
"Did the Four Gentlemen ask them to do the publicity?" They naturally knew that the Four Deacons they mentioned were the Four Gentlemen.
The Four Gentlemen were the strongest in their sects, but they were quite famous in the Crimson Blood League.
"Sect Leader is wise. That's right!" The two disciples quickly nodded.
However, this made Chi Yuanzi suspicious. The Crimson Blood League had lost the Four Gentlemen this time. And now, he found out that the news of the destruction of the Gate of Heaven was spread by the disciples of the Four Gentlemen. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
"What's going on? Make yourself clear! Why did they want them to spread the news? Is this information true? "Crimson Yuanzi immediately voiced his doubts.
"Sect Leader, we don't know either. However, on that day, the four deacons suddenly called us over and told us to spread the news to every corner of the Eastern Continent. We are just doing our job as it is. This matter really has nothing to do with us. Sect Leader, please investigate! "One of the disciples said.
"Sect Leader, it's true. We don't know anything. We were just following the instructions of the Four Deacons!" the other disciple said.
Now that such a huge incident had happened to the Crimson Blood League, and they were disciples of the Four Green Peaks, they naturally knew about the Four Gentlemen's tragic deaths.
However, now that they had been dragged here by these big shots, it was highly likely that they were investigating the Four Gentlemen and the other Deacons. Hence, they were afraid that they would be implicated in this case.
They were just small fries. They couldn't handle such a huge case.
"What did they tell you back then?" Elder Huang asked.
"Elder, that day, Deacon Zhuang very cautiously called us over, saying that he wanted us to do a secret matter, and that no one in the sect could know about it. He then told us to spread the news that it was a group of young men and women who destroyed the Sky Gate. The other four Deacons didn't say much! "the disciple said.
The big shots of the Crimson Blood League stared at the two disciples. They believed that the two disciples wouldn't dare lie to them in such a situation.
Although the two disciples didn't know anything else, this also proved that the rumor had indeed come from the Crimson Blood League. The masterminds behind this rumor were the Four Gentlemen.
But why would the Four Gentlemen want to spread this information? Had they really discovered the culprit who destroyed the Sky Gate? Was that why they had been killed by them?
"Sect Leader, I've already asked them about this matter. They don't know anything else, but I do know something about the situation," Elder Pang said.
"Elder Pang, tell me more about it." Chi Yuanzi looked at Elder Pang.
"Sect Leader, let them leave first!" Elder Pang said to Chi Yuanzi as he looked at the two disciples who were trembling in fear.
This matter concerned the reputation of the Crimson Blood League, so it wasn't something that just anyone could hear.
"Both of you can leave first!" Since the two of them didn't know anything other than confirming this piece of news, Chi Yuanzi didn't mind and waved his hands at the two disciples.
"Thank you, Sect Leader. We will take our leave now!" The two disciples felt as if they had been pardoned. The pressure of being with these big shots was too great. They couldn't wait to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Elder Pang, can you tell us now? What did you discover?" Everyone was very curious about what Elder Pang had found out.
"After my investigation at the foot of the mountain, I discovered something about the Four Gentlemen. Perhaps this is why the Four Gentlemen made up this rumor and let them spread it! "Elder Pang said.
"What? Elder Pang, did you just say that the Four Gentlemen made up this rumor? Do you have any proof? "Everyone was shocked when they heard Elder Pang's words.
Although they didn't know why the Four Gentlemen would secretly spread this news, they had never doubted the authenticity of this rumor. They even believed that they had been killed by the culprit because they had discovered this huge secret.
