Free Web NovelChapter 1432: Chapter 106: Willing to Let Ten Thousand Die for One Person
Fu Dongxu spoke as he walked towards the Ancient Demon Cave.
But in the blink of an eye, Wen Yanyu rushed ahead and got in front of him.
"The sacrifices of our ancestors will never be forgotten, and the younger generation must maintain their conduct, lest they shame our forebears!"
Blocking Fu Dongxu’s path, Wen Yanyu slightly turned his body: "I think it would still be better to let General Zhongshan enter first. It’s inappropriate to don shoes among the melons, or adjust your hat under a plum tree. What do you gentlemen think?"
Fu Dongxu also stopped, smiling: "General Zhongshan is highly respected; of course, we trust him."
Zhao Xuenyang, hiding Jiang Wang in the Ancient Demon Cave, was indeed something others hadn’t thought of, though they could easily deduce the logic behind it. Those who distrusted Zhuang Gaoxian were not limited to just the Six Friends of Jing Tian.
Of course, according to Jing Country’s narrative, this would only be seen as Zhao Xuenyang’s brilliant and brave idea.
In Fu Dongxu’s view, Zhao Xuenyang would definitely not be involved with demons, so he truly had no intention to play tricks in front of so many True People, as long as the people of Qi Country didn’t go in first, it wasn’t a big issue.
Zhongshan Yanwen’s identity, status, and stance made him the most detached among the eight True People present.
At this time, he glanced around, confirmed that none of the remaining True People objected, and then stepped forward, landing directly into the Ancient Demon Cave beneath the lava lake.
Taking charge as was right.
In the pitch-black Ancient Demon Cave, the small, old man formed Zhongshan Yanwen landed and shortly after, the other True People also descended one after another.
For a moment... silence.
All eight True People of the age unleashed their Divine Senses, nearly "bursting" this abandoned Ancient Demon Cave.
The Divine Senses swirled like an ocean tide, sweeping through the place.
No trace could escape their eyes.
Zhao Xuenyang and Jiang Wang indeed entered here and stayed for a period.
But now, the cave was empty...
And it was indeed true that demonic qi appeared here, with traces of a Demon Race intervention!
Have both the Tianjiao encountered trouble?
And does it truly involve the Demon Race?!
Fu Dongxu abruptly turned: "Do you still dare say Jiang Wang has no involvement with demons?"
"Ridiculous!" Wen Yanyu was furious: "Whose decision was it to come to the Ancient Demon Cave, who led it? Is your mind unaware, Fu Dongxu? Who are you trying to blame with your own mess? Since demonic traces were found, who should bear the responsibility? If Jiang Wang falls into the hands of the Demon Race because of this, Qi Country will not remain silent! You should first consider how to explain your Jing Country Tianjiao communicating with demons!"
As Zhao Xuenyang’s master, Cang Shen remained silent.
He merely walked silently to the center of the cave, closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
And the yellow-faced old monk also quietly approached a millstone-like boulder. free𝑤ebnovel.com
At the moment when Qi and Jing’s True People were at odds, with tension ready to erupt.
The irritable Cang Shen and the foul-mouthed Ku Jue unexpectedly remained silent.
Ku Jue’s withered fingers lightly wiped the stone, observing the dark brown residue...
It’s Jiang Wang’s blood.
"He was here, pierced through the abdomen by demonic power."
The old monk’s voice was somewhat hoarse: "His organs are destroyed..."
He began to laugh.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
It was a deeply uncomfortable laugh.
When the laughter ceased abruptly, he turned sharply by the millstone-like boulder, glaring at Fu Dongxu with murky eyes, grinning sinisterly: "The one accused of communicating with demons by the Mirror World Platform seems to have been killed by demons?"
Fu Dongxu remained expressionless.
He could feel the old monk’s intent to kill, but didn’t care.
"Xuenyang..." the tall Cang Shen now spoke with a voice stripped of its usual anger: "Fought here. Against a True Demon."
The Divine Realm Zhao Xuenyang, fighting a True Demon, the result is self-evident... no one, no matter how confident in Zhao Xuenyang, would think he could escape from a True Demon.
Zhao Xuenyang’s traces vanished completely, confirming that result... freёwebnovel.com
"How could there be a True Demon here?" Zhongshan Yanwen frowned: "These demon cave passages were completely severed back in the Ancient Era. The sole current passage lies deep in the Border Wilderness... This is a very serious issue! If we don’t find the cause, who among us can sleep peacefully?!"
"Isn’t it obvious?" Wen Yanyu said grimly: "Naturally, someone at least an adept True Person or stronger, is doing the guiding, providing a beacon, smoothing over the rules of the world, and bringing demons into the world!"
Zhongshan Yanwen nodded: "This is the most probable explanation..."
They did not know that blood puppets, True Demons existed, nor did they know True Demon Song Wanxi was the first and last "product" created by Zhuang Chenggan; never before, perhaps never again.
Because of the Puppet Master’s connection with the current world, the Blood Puppet True Demons faced significantly fewer worldly obstacles than other True Demons. Therefore, they did not need to smooth over the rules of the world.
No one could have thought that a Neifu Cultivator could summon a True Demon.
"So who is this person?" Shi Mingcheng glared ferociously at Qiu Tie.
Qiu Tie retorted, glaring back without backing down: "Who the hell knows who it is?! Who knows if it’s your Qi Country’s dirty tactics, secretly undermining our Jing country’s Tianjiao?"
"It was you who accused Jiang Wang of communicating with demons, you who secretly captured him, you who lost him. And now you accuse us of harming your Jing Country Tianjiao?"
Wen Yanyu, usually so gentle, was now red-faced with anger, pointing at Qiu Tie: "This matter needs an explanation! We are willing to go to war for this!"
"True Person Wen, watch your words!" Ji Yanyue was icy-faced: "Those are not words for you to say, nor are they decisions you can make alone. Angry threats of war, can they truly be wise counsel! I understand your feelings, but you shouldn’t speak out of turn!"
"Out of turn? Ha!" Wen Yanyu laughed angrily, sweeping his sleeve, shouting: "Jing Country should wake from its dream of sole dominance! I say this just once, mark my words! Falsely accusing our Yellow River Leader of communicating with demons, capturing our Daqi Tianjiao with despicable means, claiming to hold a public trial, yet he goes missing, his fate unknown! And you, with such arrogant attitudes, rude beyond measure, Jing Country has gone to the utmost in insulting Daqi! Today, if you cannot give an explanation, we of Daqi will demand one through war! I speak in the name of the Great Qi Administrative Hall’s Imperial Court Adviser, and make this declaration. Let heaven and earth bear witness, may sun and moon observe together!"
Shi Mingcheng clenched his teeth: "Great Qi Military Affairs Hall Shi Mingcheng, supports this declaration!"
Having probed this far, and with Shi Mingcheng echoing, it was beyond mere words of anger.
Emperor Jiang Shu of Qi had given them greater authority than one might have imagined.
Previously at the Nine Towns Bridge, Shi Mingcheng had claimed to Pei Xinghe, "People of Qi would die by thousands for one man," it was true!
But even more crucial...
Emperor Qi, having granted Wen Yanyu and Shi Mingcheng the authority to start a war, indicated that Qi Country was indeed truly prepared for war!
This was something Ji Yanyue hadn’t anticipated!
Qi Country’s determination and confidence aside, Jing Country itself was not afraid of Qi Country’s war threats.
But at this moment, they hadn’t obtained the equivalent permissions. National war, especially with a powerhouse like Qi Country, isn’t decided with a mere casual decision.
Ji Yanyue and Qiu Tie exchanged a glance, then both turned their gaze towards Fu Dongxu.
Among the four True People of Jing Country present, in terms of official ranks, Fu Dongxu was the most representative of Jing Country to speak in such contexts.
Of course, there’s a hidden aspect...
Zhao Xuenyang was now missing, his status unknown. If there had to be an explanation for Jiang Wang’s case, it could only come from the Mirror World Platform.
And the one who propelled the case of Jiang Wang communicating with demons happened to be this Mirror World Platform Leader before them!
