Chapter 1090: Chapter 587: War Alliance Venerable
"Currently, the War Alliance, the Star Sky Giant Beast Alliance, the Golden Crow Clan, and other major forces are all demanding a thorough investigation into this matter."
"Ming Wuya claims that you and the Wind Cloud Pride conspired with the Mechanical Mother, using the Heart of Space to set up a Great Array, slaughtering the geniuses of various races to extract bloodline Dao Rhyme to achieve Venerable status."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu’s expression remained unchanged, and he said, "He sure knows how to make up stories. Since becoming a member of the Netherworld Clan, it seems he’s lost his former grandeur, acting deceitfully, like a petty person."
Outside the Silent Abyss, space suddenly rippled.
A Communication Talisman pierced through the void, unfolding into a light screen before Jiang Shu.
On the screen was the resolute face of Zhan Feng, but now it carried an unusual seriousness.
"Brother Jiang, things are getting a bit troublesome."
Zhan Feng’s voice was very low, and his eyes were filled with barely concealed killing intent. The noise around him was quite chaotic, as if there was some argument going on.
"Now, beyond the Deep Space Sea, many Venerables from various races have stood up, demanding that we leave the Deep Space Sea to prove our innocence."
"Prove our innocence?"
Jiang Shu’s gaze turned slightly cold; he had no time to waste on such matters.
"What is the War Alliance’s stance?"
Zhan Feng gave a bitter smile and said, "Naturally, they stand on our side, but they can’t withstand the pressure from some other Venerables."
"The current situation is that even within the War Alliance, there are voices of dissent. You know, I and Zhan Yun, although newly emerged, have already affected the interests of many within the War Alliance."
On the other side of the light screen came the sound of a noisy quarrel, faintly audible with words like "must be severely punished" and "evidence is conclusive."
Zhan Feng hastily said, "Be careful of the Netherworld Clan," and then cut off the communication.
Yu Tianming didn’t show any sign of panic, and simply asked Jiang Shu, "Your Highness, should we go out?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu’s face carried a faint smile as he said, "There are still great opportunities in the Deep Space Sea that have yet to appear. Going out now would play right into the enemy’s hands."
"Besides, the pure are pure."
Those who were accused together were not only the strongest genius of the War Alliance, the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s direct descendant, but also that Ancestor of the Mechanical Clan. If the sky falls, these people would bear it for him, so he had no need to step out now.
Moreover, whether in the Cang Mang Domain or the Star Ruins Realm, strength is the fundamental of everything.
His top priority was always to improve himself, comprehending the Space Law.
Until he ascends to the Forget Realm and becomes a Venerable.
...
Deep Space Sea, Meteor Belt.
The contemporary prodigy of the Golden Crow Clan, Jin Yao, put away the Communication Talisman and sneered, "As expected, that Jiang Shu doesn’t even reply, so it seems there’s truth to this matter."
Beside him, a supreme genius from a powerful race frowned and said,
"Ming Wuya’s accusations are indeed suspicious. I’ve met Jiang Shu once; he doesn’t seem like the type to do such things."
Jiang Shu’s name had spread throughout the cosmic universe. This supreme genius had seen Jiang Shu once outside the Deep Space Sea, and though it was just a single encounter, he didn’t believe Jiang Shu would do such a thing. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"The evidence is in front of us, what more needs to be said?!"
Jin Yao suddenly turned, golden flames blazing on his wings,
"Three geniuses of my clan died in the Eye of the Void, with triangular marks of the Mechanical Clan on their chests!"
"You saw the footage, you know it’s not fake!"
A cultivator wrapped in a Star Robe walked over slowly; it was the current traveler of the Star Pavilion, Mo Tianji,
"But if Jiang Shu truly wanted to kill and seize treasures, why leave such obvious evidence?"
"Perhaps there’s more to this matter than meets the eye."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yao looked at Mo Tianji and sneered, "Brother Mo, everyone knows your Star Pavilion is on friendly terms with the War Alliance, so naturally, you’d defend Jiang Shu."
Mo Tianji was unfazed, gently shaking the Star Disc in his hand, laughing, "I’m just discussing the matter as it stands. Although there’s nothing wrong with the footage provided by Ming Wuya, I still feel something’s off."
A glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes as he continued,
"Don’t you find it strange, how Ming Wuya managed to leave the Eye of the Void alive? From what I know, he was supposed to be within the trap’s range as well."
"Most importantly, whether it’s Jiang Shu, the Wind Cloud Pride of the War Alliance, or that Mother of the Mechanical Clan, given enough time, achieving Venerable status is a certainty. Even becoming Saints seems like a notable possibility, so why take such a big risk to refine bloodline Dao Rhyme?"
The rest was unimportant, but Mo Tianji’s last sentence was the question everyone was pondering.
Indeed, why?
This statement made several surrounding cultivators fall into deep thought.
Another ancient oddity suddenly said, "Come to think of it, Ming Wuya and Zhan Feng have long-standing grudges..."
"Enough!"
Jin Yao interrupted harshly,
"Are you trying to absolve Zhan Feng and Jiang Shu?!"
"I don’t care about grudges; I only know that the geniuses of my clan cannot die in vain!"
"If Jiang Shu has a clear conscience, why doesn’t he dare to come out and confront us?"
Hearing this, someone immediately sneered and said, "Jin Yao, it seems you’re less interested in avenging your clan members and more in using this opportunity to eliminate Zhan Feng and Jiang Shu."
Amidst the escalating debate, a rift suddenly appeared in the distant space.
Three figures stepped out, led by one clad in Bronze Battle Armor, wielding a War Axe, exuding murderous intent.
It was Zhan Feng.
"Jin Yao, speak with evidence."
Zhan Feng’s voice was like a great bell, looking at Jin Yao with disdain,
"Jiang Shu is currently in secluded cultivation, comprehending the Space Law, and unable to respond for now."
"But I, Zhan Feng, guarantee with the honor of the War Alliance, he is definitely not the mastermind."
Zhan Yun followed closely, the Bronze Battle Axe in his hand slightly trembling, "Ming Wuya’s accusations are full of holes; everyone should think, if one truly intended to kill and seize treasures, who would be foolish enough to leave their own mark?"
