In the sky around the Cloud Platform, exclamations broke out one after another.
The Heavenly Retrieval Orb could reproduce the images and sounds perfectly, and it was impossible to fake it. It was a famous magic treasure in the Cultivation world, and it had been hidden by the Center Sect on the Cloud-Dream Mountain all these years. Why did it suddenly appear in the hands of Guo Nanshan?
Though the relationship between the Aoyama Sect and the Zhongzhou School had eased, how could the two leaders of the Cultivation world be so close to each other?
Tong Lu thought of something, his face darkening. The two elders of the State of Free Travel exchanged a glance and also thought of the same thing, their faces grim.
The Western Sea Sword School had always been on friendly terms with the Zhongzhou School. Today, they were relieved to see no disciples of the Zhongzhou School among the Cultivation sects besieging the Cloud Platform, but … the fact that the Heavenly Retrieval Orb was in the hands of Guo Nanshan indicated that the two sects had joined hands in secret.
No matter how proud Tong Lu was, he was well aware that his own sect couldn't resist the alliance of the Aoyama Sect and the Zhongzhou School, not to mention that there were so many sects like Yimaozhai and Ōzawa.
Staring into Guo Nanshan's eyes, he asked through gritted teeth, "What do you want me to see?"
The Heavenly Retrieval Orb shot out a few beams of light into the sky.
The sun was setting, and the afterglow was thick. The picture was a bit blurry, but Liu Shisui's face could still be vaguely seen.
Perhaps it was because the fog on the ground was too thick, or it was the Wind and Rain Magic of Ōzawa, but the night fell much faster than usual. The picture became clearer and clearer.
Many scenes appeared in the ever-changing picture, including Xiwang Sun and those jade scrolls.
Along with these pictures, the voices from the Heavenly Retrieval Orb appeared.
Those conversations explained a lot of things.
…
…
The beams of light were withdrawn, and the Heavenly Retrieval Orb calmed down. Everything returned to darkness, except for the whistling of the sea breeze.
The silence around the Cloud Platform lasted for a long time. Even those from the orthodox sects besieging the Cloud Platform didn't know the details, and they were too shocked to speak.
Staring into Guo Nanshan's eyes, Tong Lu yelled angrily and emotionally with a pale face, "This is a false accusation!"
Guo Nanshan looked at him sympathetically and said nothing.
No one responded to Tong Lu, not even the disciples of the Western Sea Sword School.
They were at a loss, wondering if what they were seeing was real. Bulao Lin?
"Our request is very simple. Hand over all the people whose names were called."
Chen Youtian waved his right hand lightly, and several sword lights shot out from the flying sword under his feet. They traveled through the night sky at high speed, bringing with them bolts of lightning and forming several hundred names.
Some of the names gradually dissipated, leaving behind more than two hundred names, which were extremely eye-catching in the dark night sky.
Tong Lu glanced at them and recognized that they were all experts from the Western Sea Sword School. The rest of them were probably deacons from the Cloud Platform.
If the Western Sea Sword School handed over these people tonight, their strength would be reduced by more than half. More importantly, how could the Western Sea Sword Sect establish itself in Chaotian in the future?
"What do those disappeared names mean?"
Tong Lu asked while suppressing his anger.
Chen Youtian said, "Those people are the spies and devil men of the deviant sects planted by Bulao Lin in the Imperial court and various Cultivation sects. They are not here, so they are not part of our discussion."
Tong Lu said loudly while staring at him, "It's preposterous to expect us to believe what you said based on these scenes and sounds!"
Chen Youtian had no intention of discussing it with him, saying, "Hand them over right now."
Otherwise, they would fight.
Chen Youtian had been the peak master of Bihu for less than ten years, and this was the first time he represented Aoyama in such a significant event. Normally, he should be a bit nervous.
Yet, he was calm and confident, as if he wouldn't be afraid even if the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean showed up.
"It's always easy to find a reason to frame someone. Moreover … this is all Liu Shisui's one-sided statement!"
Tong Lu suddenly thought of this, and said sharply, "We all know that he killed Lo Huainan! How can we believe what he said? This must be a scheme of Bulao Lin! "
This inference was not entirely unreasonable. The expressions on the faces of the Cultivation practitioners surrounding the Cloud Platform changed slightly.
It was then that a hole suddenly appeared in the night sky, and a person fell down from the dark clouds.
That person wore a bright yellow cloth and had an extraordinary bearing. He was Xiwang Sun.
Tong Lu was startled, yelling, "Senior Master?"
Not many disciples of the Western Sea Sword School knew Xiwang Sun, so they bowed to him in tandem upon hearing this.
The disciples and caretakers on the Cloud Platform were delighted.
All of a sudden, the crowd found something was wrong.
There was blood on Xiwang Sun's body!
He didn't come with his hands behind his back, but his arms were tied behind his back!
Tong Lu was shocked speechless. He looked behind Xiwang Sun, and saw the rope with all his eyesight.
That rope didn't have a tangible object, looking like a shadow. It was impossible to see it clearly in the dark night sky.
There was an uproar, both the disciples of the Western Sea Sword School and the disciples of various sects besieging the Cloud Platform.
Xiwang Sun had always been mysterious, but everybody knew that his Cultivation state was unfathomable. Yet, he was hung down from the sky!
Who could do such a thing?
Bu Qiuxiao's expression was calm. It was obvious that he had known this beforehand. He flew to the front of Xiwang Sun and said, "What's the point of killing more people? Those loyal subordinates don't know about it, but these young disciples of the Western Sea Sword School don't know about it. Do you want them to die with you? "
The meaning of his words was clear. He hoped that Xiwang Sun would admit his crime to avoid the possible war.
Xiwang Sun's bead curtain had been broken in half and was fluttering in the wind. It looked a bit weird, as if his eyes were about to be cut into pieces.
His gaze swept over the Cultivation practitioners around the Cloud Platform. He looked a bit tired, but his eyes were still deep. Finally, his gaze fell on Tong Lu and the other disciples of the Western Sea Sword School.
"You're right. I've been in charge of Bulao Lin these years."
Hearing this, there was another uproar.
The disciples of the Western Sea Sword School were shocked speechless, and the atmosphere became gloomy. Tong Lu's face was pale, and he couldn't believe what he had heard.
The war hadn't even started, but their commander-in-chief had been captured and admitted his crime. How could they continue the war?
Xiwang Sun suddenly laughed.
Why did he laugh?
He stopped laughing and asked indifferently while looking at the crowd, "But, what's wrong with that?"
The crowd thought that this man must have lost his mind because he was too traumatized; otherwise, how could he say such a thing?
Guo Nanshan said with furrowed brows, "You didn't even admit your mistake after doing such an evil thing. I really don't know what you are talking about."
Xiwang Sun said, "What I'm trying to say is that there are many people like me in your sects."
Guo Nanshan said, "Rest assured. We won't let any of them go."
Xiwang Sun looked at him and said sarcastically, "Are you sure that's all of them? They are just small fries. Do you dare to doubt your master? "
Guo Nanshan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't try to mislead us with your fallacious words and sow discord."
Xiwang Sun's meaning was clear. There were many important figures in each sect who had connections with Bulao Lin. Did you dare to capture all of them?
Guo Nanshan's meaning was also clear. Since they were important figures in each sect, how could they join Bulao Lin as an assassin?
Xiwang Sun said indifferently, "Of course they won't be assassins. The problem is, for various reasons, they have many people they want to kill, but it's not convenient for them to do it themselves. So they have to ask us to do it. Are you sure you want me to tell you their names now? "
His line of sight moved across the faces of the sect masters and elders like a knife.
Bu Qiuxiao noticed that two or three of the sect masters and elders had changed their expressions, so he knew that he couldn't let Xiwang Sun continue.
He glanced at Chen Youtian.
Chen Youtian understood what he meant. He activated his Sword Awareness, and there was a faint flash of lightning between his right fingers. He was ready to employ the Sword style of Eight Sides at any time to shock the opponent to death with thunder.
Xiwang Sun suddenly turned his head and stared into his eyes, saying with a faint smile, "Maybe we should start with your Aoyama Sect?"
After a moment of silence, Chen Youtian put his right hand behind his back, wondering why his Big Brother Sect Master allowed this man to speak.
