Supreme Demon God

Chapter 189: Eat Bad Results

"The Green Mountain's Four Ghosts are dead?"

"What's the situation just now? Was that thing really the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld?"

"How can Wu Jue know so clearly, is it possible that he has also practiced the Hundred Ghosts Avenue Art?"

"The Green Mountain's Four Ghosts that even the elders of our Seraphic Sword Sect could not deal with... I didn't expect them to be killed like this."

"By the way, the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts have been locked up in the Demon Vanquishing Tower for five hundred years, how did they escape?"

...

The members of the Seraphic Sword Sect who were still there started talking in low voices.

Zhong Ruhao also wanted to know how Mo Xiu knew everything about the Hundred Ghosts Avenue Art and the Underworld. However, Green Mountain's Four Ghosts failed in their actions. Not only did they fail to kill Mo Xiu, but also implicated him. Now, he was no longer suitable to continue to stay, otherwise, someone might point the finger at him.

With a sullen face, he turned around and wanted to leave. But before a step could even be taken, the voice of two people rang almost at the same time, "Hold on!"

Among the two speaking, one was Mo Xiu, and the other was former Sect Master Ji Linyuan.

Zhong Ruhao frowned slightly, stopped, turned around to look at Mo Xiu, and then at Ji Linyuan without saying a word.

Mo Xiu had originally planned to take the initiative to attack, but it seemed that Ji Linyuan didn't plan to let go of this opportunity either. In that case, he didn't mind giving Ji Linyuan the opportunity to take the initiative to attack.

Ji Linyuan nodded towards Mo Xiu, then turned to look at Zhong Ruhao, "Uncle Zhong, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

"Explanation?" Zhong Ruhao looked at him. "Why should I explain to you? And what do you want me to explain?"

"The reason why the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts escaped from the Demon Vanquishing Tower, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?" Ji Linyuan said coldly.

Zhong Ruhao's face changed, and he said angrily, "Ji Linyuan, don't spit on people randomly! I personally participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts and personally captured them into the Demon Vanquishing Tower. Many brothers and sisters died because of this. I hate them so badly; I even want to kill them with my own hands, how can I release them?"

"Then why did the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts come directly to Sky Origin Peak after they came out of the Demon Vanquishing Tower, and they still wanted to kill Wu Jue and Xing Yuyan at that?" Ji Linyuan questioned.

"How would I know this?"

Zhong Ruhao looked indignant, "I still want to know how Wu Jue learned about the situation in the Underworld. Could it be because I thought Wu Jue deserved to die before, you want to push the responsibility for the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts to escape from the Demon Vanquishing Tower on my head? It's ridiculous! According to you, can I also think that Wu Jue is a spy sent by the Underworld to the Profound Sky Continent?"

"You know I didn't mean that," Ji Linyuan's tone became weaker.

"That's what you mean!" Zhong Ruhao's tone was still strong. "Ji Linyuan, let me tell you, I still treat you as my nephew, so I don't want to do anything to you. Otherwise, you will be blamed for framing others for no reason!"

Ji Linyuan certainly didn't think Zhong Ruhao could do it.

He was silent for a while before a direct showdown, "Do you dare to swear to Heavenly Dao that the escape of the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts from the Demon Vanquishing Tower has nothing to do with you?"

"Originally, it has nothing to do with me, why should I swear to the Heavenly Dao?" Zhong Ruhao was not easily agitated.

Upon seeing this, Ji Linyuan was even more convinced in his heart. Although there was no evidence, he still said, "You dare not!"

"It's not a question of dare or not dare, but it has nothing to do with me. Why should I do that kind of thing?" Zhong Ruhao glared at Ji Linyuan. "If you have evidence that I did it, then I don't mind if you stand up and accuse me, I can also swear to the Heavenly Dao as you said, but if there is no evidence at all, I dare not to mess around with it..."

As he said, he snorted, "I'm sorry for not being able to accompany you!"

Ji Linyuan naturally didn't want to let Zhong Ruhao go like this, but it was not easy for him to produce evidence in a short time. After all, this was not a conspiracy he had been brewing for a long time, so it was impossible to grasp the evidence.

As he was thinking about how to keep Zhong Ruhao, he promptly heard Mo Xiu say, "Who said there is no evidence?"

Zhong Ruhao was taken aback for a moment, looked at Mo Xiu, and said with a sneer, "What? Still want to give false testimony?"

Mo Xiu could see that Zhong Ruhao was going to get by under false pretenses.

Although he could also have a good talk with Zhong Ruhao, it didn't make any sense.

He raised his hand and waved, a light curtain appeared above everyone's heads.

Everyone looked up. There was an image above the light curtain. A black shadow slipped out of the Boundless Hall, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, sneaking into the forbidden area, passing through the heavy fog, and entering the Demon Vanquishing Tower. Not long after, the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts rushed out and laughed loudly.

The image ended here, the light curtain disappeared, but everyone was very stunned.

On the one hand, they were surprised by Mo Xiu's method, and on the other hand, they were surprised at the content of the image.

Before, some people really thought that the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts had rushed out of the Demon Vanquishing Tower by themselves. But now, they found out that something was wrong. It was ultimately someone who deliberately released Green Mountain's Four Ghosts...

Everyone looked at Zhong Ruhao. Some of them looked at him because of Ji Linyuan's accusation just now, while others knew about Zhong Ruhao's situation. The method in the image was clearly Zhong Ruhao's concealment technique Dark Night Stealing Art.

As for the authenticity of the image, no one had ever doubted it. Let alone what Mo Xiu's method was, the image that had been clearly recorded couldn't be wrong.

Zhong Ruhao's face was very ugly, he couldn't figure out how Mo Xiu got this image.

Obviously, he had been monitored by Mo Xiu, but he hadn't noticed it from beginning to end.

What was more frightening was that he didn't know whether Mo Xiu had any other evidence. Since even this kind of image could be obtained, who knew if Mo Xiu had more definite evidence?

With a sharp change in his mind, he roared, "Wu Jue! As a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect, you have used the wicked sorcery to monitor every move of the Divine Sword Peak. Have you ever really taken the majesty of the sect into your eyes?"

"What? You're anxious?" Mo Xiu glanced at Zhong Ruhao.

Zhong Ruhao snorted coldly, thinking about how to excuse himself, but he heard Ji Linyuan say loudly, "Uncle Zhong, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else can you say?"

"The evidence is conclusive? Joke! The image just now can only prove that the Green Mountain's Four Ghosts were indeed released from the Demon Vanquishing Tower by someone from our sect, but it does not prove that that person is me!" Zhong Ruhao forcefully defended himself.

Ji Linyuan: "Really? But that's clearly the Dark Night Stealing Art. Only you have practiced it in the entire Seraphic Sword Sect, and only you can easily open the Demon Town Tower to enter it."

"Who said that the Dark Night Stealing Art was only practiced by me?"

Zhong Ruhao curled his lips and turned around and shouted, "Liao Sixian!"

Liao Sixian was the master of Xian Dongyang who died in the hands of Mo Xiu, one of the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect, and a direct disciple of Zhong Ruhao.

After Zhong Ruhao left the seclusion, Liao Sixian, as a disciple, naturally stood on his side and could be said to be his hardcore supporter.

Hearing the call, Liao Sixian didn't think much about it. He stepped forward quickly, came to Zhong Ruhao's side, and asked, "Master, what's your order?"

Zhong Ruhao: "The Dark Night Stealing Art was once taught to you by me, but you said that you could not practice, however, you secretly practiced it successfully?"

"Master, you have never taught the Dark Night Stealing Art to me!" Liao Sixian said in depression.

"Dare to quibble!?"

Zhong Ruhao snorted coldly, and when he raised his hand, he slapped Liao Sixian on the forehead.

Liao Sixian never thought that Zhong Ruhao would be this ruthless against him, and when he discovered something was wrong and wanted to defend, it was too late. Moreover, his cultivation base was only in the Early-stage of the Sea Core Realm, Zhong Ruhao was a great expert, so even if he wanted to prevent it, he couldn't prevent it.

"Boom!"

After a shock, blood spattered and Liao Sixian was paralyzed and fell to the ground feebly.

Everyone was stunned, never expected that Zhong Ruhao would beat Liao Sixian ruthlessly.

That was Zhong Ruhao's personal disciple, how could Zhong Ruhao do it to his disciple?

"There can be no mistake. The person who released Green Mountain's Four Ghosts from the Demon Vanquishing Tower is Liao Sixian. Now, I have killed the rebel Liao Sixian, which is an explanation for everyone."

Zhong Ruhao's face was very ugly. After speaking, he looked around, his eyes finally fell on Ji Linyuan, and said coldly, "Now you should be satisfied, right?"

Ji Linyuan knew what Zhong Ruhao meant. If he still insisted on thoroughly exposing the matter, Zhong Ruhai wouldn't mind making things big and fighting against each other directly.

Originally, Ji Linyuan never thought of relying on this matter to completely defeat Zhong Ruhao. After all, Zhong Ruhao was also one of the three supreme elders. He was now also the acting Sect Master. There were still many people in the Seraphic Sword Sect who supported him. It was impossible to knock him down with this.

Zhong Ruhao killed his apprentice with his own hands, which was considered to be self-sufficient. He couldn't go forward anymore, otherwise, the internal contradictions would break out. By then, those sides would hurt greatly. It would not benefit both parties and the Seraphic Sword Sect.

After experiencing this incident, presumably the elders and deacons who supported Zhong Ruhao's side would also change their camps. When the new Sect Master was elected, perhaps he could regain power and bring the three elders back together.

Thinking of this, he nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong, for your explanation."

Zhong Ruhao gave a cold snort before he turned around and walked away.

Some deacons and elders who supported Zhong Ruhao's side followed suit, leaving only those who supported Ji Linyuan.

After finally returning to Divine Sword Peak, Zhong Ruhao couldn't help it anymore, and a huge boulder was instantly shattered with a slap.

"Wu Jue! Ji Linyuan! Damn you!" Zhong Ruhao said angrily.

"Senior Brother Zhong, what you did just now was a bit reckless," said Bai Lizhi on the side.

"You don't understand, if I didn't kill a significant person, they wouldn't give up," Zhong Ruhao said.

Shan Yuanze was a little worried, "With Nephew Liao's death, they are willing to give up temporarily, but the facts must've been guessed by everyone. It is estimated that after this incident, many people will turn to Ji Linyuan."

Zhong Ruhao was silent for a while before he took a deep breath, then he raised his hand and said, "It's okay, let them be proud of it for a while. The people from the major sects will come to the door soon, I want to see how they will deal with it!"
