How powerful could 14 nine-star commanders be?
Wutian thought to himself.
After examining Wutian for a moment, the purple-robed man looked down at him and asked indifferently, "Are you Wutian?"
Wutian nodded.
The purple-robed man said, "Where did the castle and the mysterious man go?"
"I don't know." Wutian said honestly. He was in a trance and didn't know where Li Tianhe's castle was.
"You don't know?" The purple-robed man frowned and glanced at Yu Xiaohao next to him.
Yu Xiaohao walked out of the crowd and asked suspiciously, "Wutian, you know the mysterious man. How can you not know where he went?"
Wutian shook his head and said, "I do know him, but not very well. As for where he went, you can find him by yourself. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
After that, he winked at Ling Mu and was about to leave.
"Wait," the purple-robed man shouted.
"Is there anything else?" Wutian frowned.
"You have to make it clear first, or don't think about leaving." The purple-robed man shook his head, raised his arm, and waved it gently. He said indifferently, "Surround them."
"Yes!"
The thirteen nine-star commanders responded. Their figures flickered as they surrounded Wutian and the other two in the middle.
Looking around, Wutian looked at the purple-robed man and Yu Xiaohao and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
The purple-robed man said indifferently, "Nothing. I just suspect that you have something to do with the fake gods. If you want to leave, you have to prove yourself with strong evidence. Otherwise, come back with us to Samsara City for interrogation."
Hearing that, Wutian was amused.
Wutian suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, "Are you the Dark Devil King's men?"
"The Dark Devil King? Haha! Who does he think he is? Does he have the right to order us? "The purple-robed man said disdainfully.
Nodding his head, Wutian swept a meaningful glance at the young girl and said indifferently, "That's good. Tell your subordinates to retreat quickly! I don't have time to waste with you. "
The purple-robed man sneered, "I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide whether I have the time or not. I'll say the same thing again. If you want to leave, show me the evidence. Otherwise, even with the young lady's orders, I will still forcefully suppress you."
Wutian held back his temper and the restlessness in his heart. He asked, "You keep saying that I'm involved with the false gods. Can you please show me some evidence to prove it?"
The purple-clothed man sneered, "You're a stubborn duck. Yu Xiaohao, tell him everything you saw."
"Wutian, we didn't want to make things difficult for you, but this is a serious matter. We have to get to the bottom of this."
Yu Xiaohao cupped his hands and said, "Previously, when the mysterious man appeared, you didn't see his face clearly, but you called out his name and talked with him happily. How do you explain that?"
"I've said it before. I have some friendship with him. Why can't I greet him when we meet?" Wutian retorted.
Yu Xiaohao asked, "Then, did you kill him in the end?"
Wutian shook his head.
Yu Xiaohao saw this and a trace of coldness appeared on his face. He said, "You know that he's working for the false gods. Why didn't you kill him? Why did you let him go?"
"You're asking me?"
Wutian wanted to laugh, but his tone also turned cold. He said, "You were there at the time. With your and Lu Dayang's strength, you could only run away. You want me to kill him? Do you think it's possible?"
"Still trying to twist words."
Yu Xiaohao sneered, "If I remember correctly, the Phoenix Pendant of Beixuan City's vice city lord is in your hands. With the Grade 4 Saint Weapon Phoenix Pendant, even if you're not a match for him, you can still pin him down. But you didn't do so. There's only one explanation, you're his accomplice.
Moreover, I don't know if you still remember what the mysterious man said at the end. If you don't, let me remind you.
The mysterious man said that since Miss is related to the Samsara Saint, she still has some value. Instead of killing her, it's better to keep us alive and fulfill your wish. "
Yu Xiaohao said in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, his purpose is to make Miss and me feel grateful to you, so that we can introduce you to the Lord Saint. At that time, you can cooperate with the false gods and destroy the Eastern Region step by step. Am I right?"
"So that's how it is. I finally understand. Li Tian, everything you did was to set me up." Wu Tian heard Li Tian's words and finally thought of the key point.
Previously, when Li Tian had let Yu Xiaohao and the other man go, Wutian had felt that something was amiss.
However, he couldn't find anything wrong at that time, so he didn't look into it.
At this moment, when he saw the people in front of him and Yu Xiaohao's suspicion, Wutian finally understood.
If he guessed correctly, the real reason why Li Tian didn't want to kill him was that he was too weak. The real reason was to let him have a conflict with the people of the Eastern Region.
After that, he took the initiative to let the girl and Lu Dayang go and said that all this was for his sake. It seemed that Li Tian's intention was to deliberately cause Yu Xiaohao to misunderstand.
"What? You're speechless and have no reason to quibble? "Yu Xiaohao sneered.
Little Wu Hao secretly transmitted her voice and said indignantly, "What a bunch of idiots. If you were really in cahoots with Li Tian, how could you leave such a weakness behind? It seems that the people trained by the Flood Dragon Emperor in the Eastern Region are a bunch of idiots with brawn and no brains. Son Of Heaven, after half a year, I've already refined the Dragon Pendant. Why don't we just kill them all?"
It was no wonder that Little Wu Hao was so angry. He had saved them out of kindness, but not only did they not know how to repay his kindness, but they also slandered him with all kinds of reasons. No matter who it was, they would be furious.
"It doesn't matter. If they continue to pester us in the end, there's no harm in killing them. At the same time, we can also prevent the news of the Phoenix Pendant from leaking," Wutian replied indifferently.
Afterwards, Wutian pointed at Ling Mu and said expressionlessly, "I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I quibble? If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
Yu Xiaohao was slightly stunned. Only now did he realise that there was someone else beside Wutian. He looked over and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Ling Mu bowed and cupped his hands, "Greetings, 3-star commander. I'm called Ling Mu."
Yu Xiaohao asked, "Ling Mu, why didn't I see you before?"
Glancing at Wutian, Ling Mu's eyes flashed and he cupped his hands, "Sir, I've been trapped in the ancient castle for the past thousand years. It's normal that you didn't see me."
Hearing that, Yu Xiaohao and the purple-clothed man looked at each other. Their eyes immediately lit up and they asked in unison, "Who trapped you? And where is the ancient castle right now? "
Ling Mu suddenly pointed at Wutian and yelled, "It's him and Li Tian!"
As he spoke, he dashed to the side of a nine-star commander like a frightened rabbit. Then, he stared at Wutian with hatred and resentment.
Seeing this, Wutian's heart skipped a beat.
The purple-clothed man landed in front of Ling Mu with a flicker and patted his shoulder, comforting him, "Don't be afraid. Tell us everything you know. With us here, he won't dare to do anything to you."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ling Mu nodded repeatedly, and then said, "More than a thousand years ago, Wutian and Li Tian captured this lowly one here and tortured me to extort a confession, inquiring about everything in the Eastern Territory. This lowly one's strength was too low, and I couldn't stand the torture, so I had no choice but to spit out everything I knew.
The purple-clothed man asked, "What happened after that?"
"After that, Wutian and Li Tian asked me to take them to the Eastern Region and help them hide their identities so that they could assassinate the City Lords of the major cities. Of course, I couldn't agree. After all, I'm a part of the Eastern Region. In the end, I was trapped in the ancient castle for more than a thousand years and spent every day being tortured. It was so painful that I wanted to die!"
Ling Mu's voice was hoarse and his face was full of pain and sorrow.
Yu Xiaohao yelled angrily, "You actually planned to assassinate the City Lords of the major cities. Wutian, you really are a spy. Give me your life!"
The purple-clothed man said in a low voice, "Stop, let him finish first."
Ling Mu continued, "I've always been tortured, but I never compromised. However, today, Wutian and Li Tian found me again and said that if I didn't cooperate, they would kill all my friends and family. I had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, the two of you came in time. Otherwise, I would really be a traitor of the Eastern Region!"
Then, he added, "By the way, I heard Wutian and Li Tian talking about how Wutian changed his appearance and hid in Beixuan City for more than a thousand years. He even successfully assassinated the Vice City Lord of Beixuan City. Is this true?"
The purple-clothed man's face was as cold as water. He nodded and said, "Yes, just a few months ago, the Vice City Lord of Beixuan City was killed by Wutian and his companions."
"What?" Ling Mu was shocked.
"Wutian, now that there are witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to deny?" Yu Xiaohao said sternly. When he thought of Lu Dayang's tragic death, the murderous intent in his heart erupted uncontrollably like a volcano.
"Phew!"
Wutian let out a long sigh. The Snake Emperor was right; there was indeed something wrong with Ling Mu.
If he was not mistaken, the real Ling Mu had died long ago, and the current Ling Mu was most likely being controlled by Li Tian in secret.
Wutian glanced at the figure without showing any sign of anger. Instead, his face was filled with a brilliant smile as he complimented, "Li Tian, such a brilliant move."
"Hehe! Brother Wu is flattering me, but Brother Wu is not bad either, to be able to discover that I'm controlling Ling Mu's body in such a short time. "A familiar voice suddenly appeared in Wutian's mind.
After hearing this, Wutian was not surprised at all, as he shook his head and said, "It seems like you're determined to turn against me and the Eastern Region!"
When he had first met Li Tian, he had felt that this person was very mysterious and difficult to deal with. Since then, they had not interacted much with each other, nor did they have a real battle. However, Wutian had never underestimated him.
It seemed like Li Tian did not let him down, setting a trap for him at their first meeting, one after another, without giving him any chance to breathe.
