The two disciples were so nervous they didn't know what to do.
Tai-shu Shancheng forgot Ding Wei's warning and replied, "Mister Ding, how can they admit to something they didn't do? Is the Misty Pavilion going to twist the facts to force them to confess? "
He had no choice but to help, afraid that the two disciples wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.
Ding Wei stared at him coldly, "Didn't you hear what I said? Do you need me to shut your mouth? I'm warning you again, if I don't want you to reply, then shut up! "
Tai-shu Shancheng was indignant and helpless, so he shut his mouth. But he looked at the two disciples, reminding them not to speak carelessly.
Xuan Yao took out a name list, and pointed at the list of people from the Cloud Equipment Sect, interrupting, "Who is Tai-shu Xun? Who is Tai-shu Li? "
The disciple on the left cupped his hands and replied, "Tai-shu Xun."
The one on the right cupped his hands and replied, "Tai-shu Li."
Xuan Yao kept the name list and scolded, "Didn't you hear the two of you reply?"
The two disciples looked at each other nervously, and Tai-shu Xun mustered his courage and said, "We don't know what Mister Ao Feng means, but we didn't do anything against the rules in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland."
Tai-shu Li said, "This is a false accusation."
Tai-shu Shancheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Ding Wei observed the expressions and reactions of the three for a while before asking Ao Feng, "Ao Feng, they flatly deny your accusation. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Ao Feng, "No! I don't need any proof. I've said what I saw. Believe it or not, if you find out that I'm lying, I'll accept the punishment. There's nothing more to say. "
He faced it calmly. Coming to this step, he was indeed a little casual, and appeared calm and collected.
He didn't know whether Niu Youdao was telling the truth or not. Now that he had taken this step, if he was found to be lying, he had nothing to say, and could only let them punish him. At worst, he could drag Niu Youdao down with him, and say that Niu Youdao told him to say it.
The situation wasn't clear, and he couldn't make up any evidence. There was no need to make things worse.
Ding Wei turned to the three from the Cloud Tool Sect and said, "You've seen Ao Feng's attitude. Do you think he has any reason to frame you?"
Tai Shu Shan Cheng straightened his neck and said loudly: "There is indeed no need, I also can't understand why he would do this."
Ding Wei said, "Ao Feng said that if he lied, he would accept any punishment. What about you guys?"
Taishu Shan Cheng said loudly: "If we have lied, we are willing to accept any punishment!" At this point, he naturally had to fight to the end. If he didn't fight to the end, only death would await him. Either way, he had to fight with everything he had.
Ding Wei said, "Ao Feng won't admit that he lied, and you won't admit that you lied either. It's impossible that neither side is lying, so one side must be lying. Since you all refused to admit it and could not provide any evidence to prove yourselves, the Misty Pavilion had no choice but to resort to torture. However, there is one thing I must remind you of … "
Pausing for a moment, his gaze lingered on everyone's faces for a while. "If Ao Feng is lying, he alone will bear the consequences of his actions. However, there are three of you, and you are here on behalf of the Cloud Tool Sect. Once we find out that all of you are lying, the entire Cloud Tool Sect will be implicated! "
"Ao Feng said that he saw Taishu Shan Cheng kill and rob. Based on what he said, Taishu Xun, Taishu Li, you are not the murderers, and you have to listen to the orders of our sect's elders. If you say anything against your will to protect our sect's elders, I can forgive you …"
Taishu Shan Cheng shouted and interrupted. "Master, there is no such thing. What they said is the truth. How could it be against their will?"
Ding Wei's tone suddenly became strict. "I said it was based on what Ao Feng said. It was an assumption. Don't you understand what I said?"
His tone changed, and immediately, dozens of Misty Pavilion's people rushed over and surrounded the three of them. They were like tigers watching their prey, ready to take action at any time.
Taishu Shan Cheng had no choice but to shut up again.
Ding Wei continued: "Based on what Ao Feng said, I said that I can understand your desire to protect your fellow sect members. Taishu Xun, Taishu Li, I can give you one more chance. As long as you confess truthfully, as long as you can atone for your crimes, I can represent the Misty Pavilion to pardon you. "
"Don't be in a hurry to reply. Let me finish first. Before you answer, I hope you can think about it carefully. Before you answer, I have to remind you that the Misty Pavilion has everything in the world. The Misty Pavilion has all the torture methods in the world. The Misty Pavilion has enough methods to make anyone tell the truth! "
"Of course, the Misty Pavilion is not an unreasonable place. We do not want to use torture at will, nor do we want innocent people to suffer for no reason. Taking a step back, it would be troublesome for everyone. But if both of you insist, and neither of you can produce any evidence, the Misty Pavilion has no choice but to use tough methods to make those who should tell the truth speak the truth. "
Hearing this, Ao Feng's mood could be imagined. He was going to suffer for nothing. In his heart, he was cursing Niu Youdao to die a horrible death.
"Taishu Xun, Taishu Li, do you understand what I mean? No one can keep their mouth shut under the torture methods of the Misty Pavilion. If you tell the truth now, it will atone for your crimes. I will pardon you. I will not go back on what I have promised in front of everyone. If you resist to the end and the truth is pried out, even if you can escape death, you will not be spared. "
"The important thing is that you are disciples of the Cloud Weapon Sect. I don't think you want to drag the whole sect down with you. As long as you two are fine, it will be Taishu Shan Cheng's personal behavior. It has nothing to do with the whole sect. I will only punish Taishu Shan Cheng. If you insist to the end, once we find out that the three of you conspired together, the whole Cloud Weapon Sect will be implicated. The Misty Pavilion will wipe the entire Cloud Weapon Sect off the face of the cultivation world. We will massacre the entire Taishu Family as a warning to others! "
"You are disciples of the Cloud Weapon Sect and the Taishu Family. I don't think you want to drag the whole family down with you, right? What to do, what to do, what to do, this is your last chance. Listen up, this is your last chance. There will not be a second time. I will not talk nonsense with you anymore. The life and death of the Cloud Weapon Sect and the Taishu Family are in your hands. How to answer is very important. This is an opportunity that will not come again. Think carefully before you speak! "
Although Ding Wei's words appeared to be hypothetical, he was still biased towards Ao Feng. It was not that he was speaking on Ao Feng's behalf. Rather, he felt that there was no need for Ao Feng to lie. Instead, he noticed that something was amiss with the reactions of the three cultivators from the Cloudforge Sect.
These words silenced the entire place. The members of the various sects were almost as quiet as cicadas in winter, a bit frightened.
Ding Wei had already said it in front of everyone. Once it was verified, he would wipe the Cloud Weapon Sect off the face of the cultivation world and massacre the entire Taishu Family.
Whether it was a threat or not, everyone knew that it was unlikely that Ding Wei would go back on his words. If it was verified, Ding Wei, who was in charge of the Misty Pavilion, had the ability to do it. He could command the whole world to kill them, and the Taishu Family would face a catastrophe.
Some people were secretly looking forward to it, especially the sects of Qi and Wei. They could not wait for the Misty Pavilion to destroy the Cloud Weapon Sect to get rid of the threat to the two countries.
Cold sweat had already appeared on Taishu Shan Cheng's back. It was from fear. He could understand how vicious Ding Wei was. Not only did he kill people, but he also killed their hearts!
Not only was he threatening the two disciples to let them know the serious consequences, but he was also giving them a way out. Selling out Taishu Shan Cheng was not a betrayal of the sect, but a protection of the sect. Not only were they not traitors, but they were also meritorious in protecting the sect, and did not have to suffer from torture.
It was not difficult to make a choice! Taishu Shan Cheng was so scared that he did not dare to speak. He stared at the two disciples nervously.
Niu Youdao took another look at Ding Wei, who was high up in the air. He was secretly shocked. This person was sent by the Dayuan Holy Land to be in charge of the Misty Pavilion. He was indeed not ordinary.
Previously, he thought that as long as the three of them died, the Misty Pavilion would have to spend a lot of effort. However, it was none of his business. If Ao Feng wanted to live, he had to die.
Now it seemed that he had underestimated Ding Wei. There was no need to continue tormenting him in the future. With just a few words, the two disciples of the Cloud Weapon Sect would not be able to withstand it.
Tai-shu Xun and Tai-shu Li's palms were full of sweat. They were conflicted and hesitant. Their will to fight to the death was instantly destroyed in the face of Ding Wei's words!
The hesitation at this time had already revealed some clues to a certain extent. Many people were secretly shocked. Could it be that Taishu Shan Cheng had really robbed others?
Some sects did not find it strange that the Cloud Weapon Sect would do such a thing. The Cloud Weapon Sect had always been arrogant in the cultivation world. However, they did not expect that they would dare to be so arrogant to the Sage Realm.
Ao Feng, who sensed the abnormality, was secretly surprised. Could it be that what Niu Youdao said was true? These three had really killed people and robbed them?
The scene was silent. Everyone was staring at the reaction of the two disciples of the Cloud Weapon Sect.
In the howling mountain wind, Ding Wei stood with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the people below indifferently and waited quietly.
After a while, Ding Wei spoke again, "Alright, it seems that no one is willing to tell the truth. I gave you a chance, but you don't want it. Then don't blame me. Men, take Ao Feng and the three disciples of the Cloud Weapon Sect away. Interrogate them separately and pry open their mouths! "
"Yes!" One of the attendants of the Misty Pavilion cupped his hands and accepted the order.
"Master!" Tai-shu Xun suddenly shouted.
Ding Wei raised his hand and stopped his subordinates from arresting them. He asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Tai-shu Xun looked at Tai-shu Li with a pained expression. Tai-shu Li swallowed his saliva and slowly turned around. He said to Tai-shu Shan Cheng with difficulty, "Sixth Uncle, I'm sorry! We … we … we are doing this for the good of the sect … "
Before he finished, how could Tai-shu Shan Cheng not know what they meant? Instantly, his eyes widened and he flew into a rage in front of everyone. He pointed at the two and shouted, "Bastards, I have treated you well. How can the Tai-shu family have such cowards like you!"
He was filled with hatred. He wanted to tell them that there was nothing to be afraid of. As long as they endured the interrogation and refused to speak, it would be fine.
However, he also knew that this was only his own wishful thinking.
Since things had come to this, he was ready to throw caution to the wind. After he finished cursing, he did not say another word and flashed away. He fled on the spot. Obviously, he was not willing to sit and wait for death.
