Bie Tianxin was dead? Although this person's cultivation level and talent could not compare to those true geniuses at the top of the Proclamation of Liberation or Proclamation of Golden Distinction, he was still a celebrity of the continent.
After all, not everyone could be like him, with both parents being experts of the Divine Domain. In truth, besides Princess Luoluo, there was no one else with such a background.
Such a person had actually died? Who dared to kill him?
With this thought, the thousand-some gazes on the plateau once more turned to Chen Changsheng.
Everyone knew that Chen Changsheng and the Orthodoxy, or to put it more accurately, the Orthodox Academy had a deep grudge against Wuqiong Bi and Bie Tianxin, mother and son.
And daring to kill Bie Tianxin and having the ability to kill him … there were truly far too few people on the continent. Besides the Pope, who else could it be?
Chen Changsheng saw the sorrow in Bie Yanghong's eyes and knew that Wuqiong Bi was telling the truth. Bie Tianxin really had died.
His heart sank as he realized that today's matter was even more troublesome than yesterday's calculations with the Intellectual Sword.
In the capital, when the Li Palace had launched the All-School Martial Exhibition, he and the Orthodox Academy had once confronted Bie Tianxin and his servant, but with Bie Yanghong's timely letter and Su Moyu's transfer from the Li Palace Academy to the Orthodox Academy, the matter was quickly pacified.
Later on, Wuqiong Bi had once gone to the Orthodox Academy in the middle of the night to kill Xuanyuan Po and establish her might, but Su Li's letter had beheaded her like a stray dog.
Both times, Chen Changsheng and the Orthodox Academy had not suffered a loss, so he had never once thought about taking revenge on Wuqiong Bi and Bie Tianxin. In fact, with the passage of time and the countless major events that had occurred, he had almost forgotten these matters of the past. A few days ago, when he met Bie Tianxin in Hanqiu City, he did not even glance at him.
"Just what happened? Sir, please explain," Chen Changsheng asked Bie Yanghong.
Bie Yanghong gave him a deep glance and said, "My son was unfilial, but I believe that his crime does not warrant death. Today, I came to know why he was killed."
Chen Changsheng replied, "The last time I saw Bie Tianxin was in Hanqiu City. It has been three years since I last saw him."
Gou Hanshi stood up and said, "Sir, please restrain your grief. This junior believes that there is some misunderstanding in this matter and presumptuously asks Senior to explain the details."
Bie Yanghong held his hands behind him as he gazed at the plains beyond the cliff and the Tong River, his expression gradually turning cold.
"Yesterday, my son died in the river gorge twenty li east of Fengyang City. His bones were ground to dust and thrown to the bottom of the river. If my wife and I hadn't left a brand on his body and used other secret methods, we probably wouldn't have noticed. In the future, when we discovered that something had changed, we wouldn't have been able to find where he was. The culprit's ruthless and meticulous mind is truly admirable."
How could this expert admire the murderer of his son? Naturally, he was being sarcastic.
The more he admired that person, the more he wanted that person to die, and he wanted that person to die very miserably. It had to be countless times more ruthless than being ground into ashes.
It was very quiet on the cliff plateau. Everyone was listening to these words with solemn expressions.
When Fengyang City was mentioned, Tang Thirty-Six and Hu Thirty-Two glanced at each other, feeling very uneasy.
Chen Changsheng said, "I did go to Fengyang City, but I didn't see your son."
Bie Yanghong was not surprised that he would admit to going to Fengyang. More than ten thousand believers had seen it with their own eyes, so who could deny it?
He looked into Chen Changsheng's eyes and asked, "Did Nanke bring you over a certain river?"
Chen Changsheng thought back to the scene and replied, "Correct."
Bie Yanghong fell quiet for a while, then said, "His remains and ashes are beneath that river."
Hearing this, Chen Chang Sheng remained silent and didn't say anything.
As the person involved, he naturally knew that this was a scheme. The problem was that this scheme was truly formidable, leaving him speechless.
Wuqiong Bi yelled at Bie Yanghong, "Why are you still wasting words with him!"
The chilly mountain winds blew back and forth over the plateau, ruffling her white hair and making her seem rather miserable.
Chen Changsheng had never liked her, but when he saw her sorrowful appearance, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. "It truly wasn't me."
Wuqiong Bi turned to stare at him, her eyes so venomous that they seemed ready to devour him. "Then hand over that evil dragon!"
Chen Changsheng was somewhat confused as to why Wuqiong Bi had been targeting Zhizhi this entire time. He asked, "Could it be that someone personally saw her kill Bie Tianxin?"
"No, even if it was a witness who saw it with their own eyes, they could still be bribed. I wouldn't necessarily believe them."
Bie Yanghong looked at him and said, "And although some pieces of evidence cannot speak, they are even more worthy of trust, because they cannot be bribed or faked."
After saying this, he extended his right hand.
That famous little red flower was still hanging from his pinkie, gently swaying in the cool breeze.
But everyone's attention was not on the little red flower, but on the palm above his hand.
An extremely pure star radiance seeped out from his palm, enveloping ten-some extremely tiny grains of ice.
These grains of ice were too fine to be clearly seen from a distance, but when these grains of ice appeared, the temperature of the plateau, several li in circumference, instantly dropped.
The grass around Bie Yanghong was even covered in a thin layer of frost.
Just what was this object that was so cold?
Chen Changsheng did not recognize these objects, but he was extremely familiar with this cold Qi.
A moment later, his expression flickered.
Was this scheme really that difficult to unravel?
"This is the Deep Freeze Dragon Breath that only Black Frost Dragons possess. It cannot be faked."
Bie Yanghong looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, "How does Your Holiness explain this?"
These words caused the crowd to buzz with discussion, and then it gradually fell silent.
Countless gazes turned to Chen Changsheng.
Gou Hanshi and the Vice Principal of Scholartree Manor turned grave.
The Prince of Xiang and the Divine General glanced at each other in silence.
Huai Bi, on the other hand, sneered.
Many important personages knew that there was only one Black Frost Dragon on the continent.
Those cultivators who did not know also knew of this matter through the discussions earlier.
This Black Frost Dragon was the main character of the legend of New North Bridge, the current Pope Chen Changsheng's Protector!
… …
… …
"Who says that the Deep Freeze Dragon Breath has to be the Black Frost Dragon?"
"Even if it's a Black Frost Dragon, who can be sure that it's Chen Changsheng's Black Dragon?"
"The Dragon race lives on the islands of the Southern Sea. The Golden Dragon race has left, but the Black Frost Dragon race still exists. Who knows if another Black Frost Dragon has come to the continent?"
In this tense and oppressive atmosphere, the only person who could speak in such a frivolous tone was naturally Tang Thirty-Six.
He could already sense that today's matter would be extremely thorny and troublesome. Neither he nor Chen Changsheng could think of a way to resolve this situation.
Thus, he could only attempt to use unreasonable pestering to make the situation even more chaotic, hoping to find a way out of it.
Many people would become somewhat passive in front of Tang Thirty-Six's methods, and then find themselves unable to respond.
But Bie Yanghong's response was very simple. He seriously said to Tang Thirty-Six, "My son is dead. Please do not act like this."
Tang Thirty-Six was quiet for a very long time, and then he retreated.
