"Elder Feng is right!" In the hall, several people around Shui Xuanfeng's age stood up at the same time, "Sect Head worked hard for our Nanhuangzong for more than twenty years, how could it be fake? Don't be fooled by Demonic Monarch's tricks! "
"Oh? Tricks? Then how do you explain the Southern Emperor's Jade? "Demonic Monarch sneered.
"Hmph!" Shui Xuanfeng snorted, "Demonic Monarch, I have to praise you for your abilities, to be able to create something similar to the Southern Emperor's Jade. Not only is it similar in appearance, it can also resonate with the blood of the imposter and bring forth the resonance of our Nanhuangzong Water Jade Art. Heh, Demonic Monarch, in order to create this, you must have put in a lot of effort, right? "
Shui Xuanfeng's words were far-fetched, but it gave hope to the Nanhuangzong people who were unwilling to believe the truth, drawing their attention in this direction, hoping that the conjecture was true.
"Hahahaha!" Demonic Monarch laughed, his gaze piercing Shui Xuanfeng's eyes, "Shui Xuanfeng, your Water Jade Art has been crippled, but your ability to quibble has not diminished at all. Back then, because Shui Fu 'er was married to Shui Yuntian, your son went mad with love and committed heinous crimes. At the same time, in order to restrain Shui Fu 'er and prevent her from dying for love, you didn't kill Shui Yuntian. I have to say, this was the worst decision you have ever made in your lives. Heh, you must have thought that he died when Absolute Heaven destroyed your core, right? Sadly, he didn't, and when I arrived, he was still locked in the iron cage underground. What's more, he had this piece of Southern Emperor's Jade with him to prove his identity. "
Shui Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly threw his head back and laughed maniacally, pointing at Demonic Monarch and shouting, "Laughable, truly laughable! Demonic Monarch, you have wasted your efforts, don't think of getting what you want today. Iron cage? All of us in Nanhuangzong know that Shui Yuntian is not locked in an iron cage! "
As soon as his last sentence came out, everyone in the hall suddenly changed their expressions.
"Oh? Not a metal cage? "The Evil Emperor's calm voice was tinged with coldness.
"Hmph!" Shui Xuanfeng sneered, "Previously, we used the Devil Sealing Chain to lock Shui Yuntian up, and it hasn't changed in the past 23 years. How could a mere iron cage … "Shui Xuanfeng's expression froze before he could finish his sentence. His eyes were wide open. Facing him were pairs of lifeless eyes filled with pain and shock.
"Oh, so Shui Yuntian has been chained up by you for twenty-three years. Then who is this person who has been the Sect Leader for twenty-three years? "The Evil Emperor stretched out his finger and pointed at Shui Yunlan who was as still as a corpse.
Shui Xuanfeng's words had undoubtedly unconsciously admitted the fact that he had harmed Shui Yuntian back then. When he suddenly woke up from the strange atmosphere and the shocked and disbelieving gazes, it was as if he had been smashed in the head with a stick, and he was completely stunned.
What else could be more irrefutable than admitting it himself?
"Shui Xuanfeng … what else do you have to say! Twenty-three years ago, I had always felt that it was strange. So it turns out that you guys had actually caused the death of the Sect Leader and tortured the Young Master for twenty-three years … Our entire sect only found out the truth today. You guys are really ruthless!! " Shui ManCheng turned around and glared at Shui Xuanfeng and Shui Yunlan. Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, the flames of rage in his eyes seemed as though it could erupt at any moment. The sudden appearance of Shui Yuntian and the sudden unveiling of the cruel truth caused their hearts to boil as if the heavens and earth had been turned upside down. It was a kind of bone-piercing regret and bone-piercing hatred, but there was no relief and relief after learning the truth. Because the Sect Leader and Sect Leader's wife had already died, and they would never be able to return. As for the Young Master, he had already suffered 23 years of inhumane torture … Yet, they had always treated him as someone who deserved to die for committing a huge crime. They treated him as a lunatic, and they were still loyal to the person who harmed the Sect Leader's family …
How ironic and sorrowful was this?
This sort of ironic and sorrowful feeling caused many of the Nanhuangzong Sect members who had just woken up from their shock to feel a complicated hatred in their hearts.
"Fake, the Sect Leader is actually a fake …"
"Shui Xuanfeng, no wonder your relationship with the 'Sect Leader' has been so strange all these years. So he is actually your biological son … For the position of Sect Leader, you guys actually did such a heartless thing! How can you face Nanhuangzong! "
"There's no need to say anymore. Shui Xuanfeng has already admitted it himself, and this fake Sect Leader should know that quibbling is futile. Let's take them down first. No matter who they are, killing the Sect Leader is a huge crime. Even if it has been ten or a hundred years, they will still receive the cruelest punishment! "
Amidst the waves of angry reprimands, Shui Yunlan sat leisurely on her seat. She raised the teacup beside her and quietly drank a mouthful of tea that was already slightly cold. His actions and expression were extremely calm, without the slightest hint of panic or helplessness.
Shui ManLou and Shui ManCheng looked at each other and nodded their heads. At the same time, they turned around to stand in front of Shui Yunlan and Shui Xuanfeng, only to hear three old voices shouting, "Wait!"
The three highly respected elders in Nanhuangzong stepped forward and the one in the middle raised his hand and said with a cold expression, "Listen to me first … may I ask, in these twenty years, has the Sect Leader done anything to let Nanhuangzong down? In the years since the Sect Master took the position, have your days in the Nanhuang Sect been smoother or more difficult? Who has the guts to deny the sect master's hard work, foresight, and great talent over the years?! "
"Hahahaha, what a joke, what a joke. This fake Sect Leader indeed did not do anything to harm Nanhuangzong. However, Shui Zi Zizai, you can't be thinking of using this point to erase the Sect Leader's death and the Young Master's crime, right? If that's the case, aren't you a little too laughable?! "Shui ManCheng pointed at Shui Yunlan and glared at him.
"Hmph! That's right, I am indeed feeling indignant for the Sect Leader. While the Sect Leader has made a huge mistake, he was too young twenty years ago and was at the age where he was hot-blooded and impulsive. Thus, he committed a huge mistake. All these years, the Sect Leader has poured his blood, sweat, and tears for the Sect Leader. Could it be that everything he has done is not enough to make up for that mistake? Right now, our Nanhuangzong is facing a calamity that we have never faced before. Everyone in the Sect is hoping that the Sect Leader can guide us out of this predicament. If we were to pursue the Sect Leader's mistake now, the already anxious Nanhuangzong people would definitely be thrown into chaos. "Shui Zi Zizai stared back at him and spoke with a righteous tone. Every single word he said hit the crux of the matter and his words caused the originally resentful people of Nanhuangzong to resonate with him. Indeed, none of what he said was false.
Shui ManLou was unmoved. Regardless of what method he used to make up for his mistake, he would never forgive the Sect Leader's crime. He sneered, "Very good. Continue speaking. Let me see what else you can say."
Shui Zi Zizai's eyes narrowed and he pointed at Shui Yuntian who had a dark expression on his face. He then said coldly, "Regardless of how big of a mistake the Sect Leader made back then, who can deny that the Sect Leader did his best for our Nanhuangzong? As for him … even if he is really Shui Yuntian, the Young Master from back then, he has colluded with the Demonic Emperor. Hmph! The Demonic Emperor's ambitions are known to everyone. The reason why he colluded with the Demonic Emperor to barge into our Nanhuangzong is obviously because of a personal grudge … who knows, after he takes his revenge, he might even hand over the entire Nanhuangzong to … "
"You don't have to say anymore."
Out of everyone's expectations, the person who interrupted Shui Zi Zizai was actually Shui Yunlan who he had been trying his best to protect. The silent Shui Yunlan finally had a reaction as he stood up and said coldly, "The person who contacted the Northern Emperor Sect back then to obtain the 'Unfettered Water Fire Powder' was you. If we are talking about colluding, the ones who colluded with others to harm the Northern Emperor Sect was us. Other than the few of us, the rest of the Northern Emperor Sect members have already died under Jue Tian's hands. It can be said that they have received their retribution. "
No one would have thought that Shui Yunlan would say such words. He was extremely calm, so calm that it was strange. His words had undoubtedly admitted to everything that he had done and revealed the crimes that Shui Zi Zizai had committed back then. No one knew what he was thinking about at this moment. Was it because he had given up on persevering and sought a form of release from his heart? Or was it because of the decades of guilt that he felt that he no longer wanted to lock everything in his heart?
Shui Zi Zizai's face turned extremely ugly and ashen. The gazes that were directed at him instantly turned cold, and there was deep surprise and mockery in the coldness. He seemed to be trying to explain something, but when he moved his lips, he couldn't say anything. The moment Shui Yunlan's words came out, his fate was sealed. No matter how he tried to argue, it would be futile.
The Evil Emperor looked at Shui Yunlan coldly and let out an almost undetectable cold snort. Shui Yunlan had maintained his silence from the start but in his silence, how could he not be watching coldly from the sidelines? His stance seemed unexpected, but it was actually the best way for him to protect himself.
Unfortunately …
A light smile leaked out from the Demonic Emperor's lips. He floated in the air and said in a hoarse voice, "Shui Yuntian, I only brought you here today. I will not interfere in your personal matters … but I will definitely not allow anyone else to interfere in your personal matters. What do you want to do? Start now. If anyone dares to interfere, no matter who it is, I will make sure that person's corpse will not be left. "
His calm words seemed to bring along a cold gust of wind that blew into everyone's heart, causing their bodies and hearts to tremble. The Demonic Emperor's ruthlessness as well as the fact that he defeated the three experts of the Northern Emperor Sect, his words were like a huge rock in everyone's heart. In an instant, no one dared to speak.
Shui Yuntian nodded his head towards the Demonic Emperor and slowly walked forward. He used his hands to push aside Shui ManLou and Shui ManCheng's bodies and walked towards Shui Yunlan. A smile that seemed cold, cruel, and relieved appeared on his face, "Shui Yunlan, you've harmed my entire family, but you've indeed done nothing wrong to the Southern Emperor Sect all these years you've impersonated me to become the Sect Leader. This is indeed our personal matters. Since it is a personal matter … then do you have the guts to fight me to the death? Whether you live or die will be up to the heavens! If you can take my life, you will still be the sect head of Nanhuangzong. If I win … "
Shui Yuntian's words stopped there and he did not continue. Up till now, he still had not thought of how he would deal with Shui Yunlan if he won. Because the hatred he had accumulated over the years was too deep and no matter how cruel the method was, he would not be able to vent his hatred on Shui Yunlan.
