"Meng Xiuyuan, what do you mean?!"

In just an instant, the Yitian Sword in Master Miejie's hand was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Meng Xiuyuan's throat from a distance of three feet.

The disciples of the Emei Sect behind her, seeing their head master acting like this, also pulled out their swords one by one, consciously changed their positions, and surrounded Meng Xiuyuan with the Emei Sword Formation.

Facing the cold sword, Meng Xiuyuan's expression was as usual, he only smiled slightly and did not answer.

It seems to be waiting for something.

When the experts from the remaining four factions around saw this situation, they were very confused.

Although they were in awe of Meng Xiuyuan's martial arts skills and did not act impulsively like Emei, they were still deeply puzzled by Meng Xiuyuan's behavior.

"Meng Shaoxia, is it possible that you want to imitate the overlord of Western Chu and do that 'burning the cauldron and sinking the boat'?

But, it’s not necessary…”

He Taichong looked at the collapsed secret passage with a very ugly face.

"Yes, Meng Shaoxia.

We listened to your suggestion, stayed day and night, and finally sneaked up to the top of the bright dome. It can be said that we suffered a lot.

Now it seems that the sneak attack is about to succeed, but you still insist on howling, exposing our whereabouts.

Why, you feel that what happened before has lost face, and you want to use this to show that your Wudang is upright?"

Guan Neng, one of the five elders of Kongtong, echoed and asked Meng Xiuyuan in a strange way.

When the two of them said these words, they expressed the attitude of the Kunlun and Kongtong factions, which caused the disciples behind them to talk about it, and they looked at Meng Xiuyuan with a sense of dissatisfaction.

"Everything about breaking a boat or being aboveboard is just fart.

Haven’t you guys noticed that we have fallen into his trap?”

At this time, Extinction could not help but curse:

"This little thief has obviously colluded with the Demon Sect secretly. He has been trying his best for many days to lure us to the top of the light and let the Demon Sect's people surround and kill us.

The roar he made just now was obviously a tip-off to the Demon Sect!"

Hearing Master Miejie's scolding, everyone present was shocked.

Looking around, I saw that the square was surrounded by steep cliffs. Apart from the destroyed secret passage, there was only a narrow mountain path in the distance as an entry and exit route. It was a good place for catching turtles in a urn.

However, everyone present was not sure about this. They did not want to speak out and be the first to offend Meng Xiuyuan, but they also wanted to know what was going on.

Therefore, most people remained silent at this time.

Only the two elders of Huashan thought about what happened in Butterfly Valley and took the initiative to explain for him:

"Master, please calm down first. We have just arrived at the top of the light and have not yet fought against the demon sect. We should not start an internal strife among ourselves first.

The Wudang Clan and Meng Shaoxia are both well-known and are the pillars of the righteous martial arts in our Central Plains. How could they collude with the Demonic Cult?

Furthermore, if this is true, then we should have been surrounded by the Demon Cult and shot to death by random arrows. How can we stand here and talk properly?

Our top priority at this time is to quickly find those demons and fight to the death, instead of staying here and wasting time with each other!"

Jiejie was not angry when he heard this and snorted coldly and said:

"He, a disciple of the Wudang Sect, married a demon sect witch, recognized the murderer Xie Xun as his adopted brother, and sheltered them for more than ten years.

Colluding with the Demon Cult might have been done a long time ago.

The same thing happened along the way. He had obviously captured the demon sect's demons, but he had let them all go.

Isn't it obvious enough?

As for why the Demon Cult members haven’t appeared yet, there must be some communication error between them, or there is a deeper conspiracy involved..."

Just as she was halfway through her words, she suddenly heard a loud and deafening curse in the distance, interrupting her:

"Kill the old nun, don't put gold on your face anymore.

If we want to deal with you in Emei, there is no need for any conspiracy or tricks.

I, Yin Tianzheng, am enough!"

Following the sound, the White-browed Eagle King was seen flying out from the mountain path in the distance, followed by Yang Xiao, Wu Sanren and other high-level officials of the Ming Cult.

Most of the top combat forces that Mingjiao currently has are gathered here.

However, the number of other Mingjiao disciples following him was not too large. There were only about a hundred people, which was far less than the number of the six major sects. They were obviously at a disadvantage.

Obviously, the Mingjiao was still caught off guard and did not bother to dispatch its men to protect Guangmingding.

Seeing this situation, the masters of the five sects in the Central Plains looked slightly relieved, and they also understood that Meng Xiuyuan did not secretly collude with people from the Ming Cult to frame them, as Miejie said.

So everyone turned to Meng Xiuyuan. Although they didn't want to apologize, they still wanted to say a few soft words. After all, when they start fighting later, Meng Xiuyuan is still the top expert on their side.

But what people didn't expect was that Meng Xiuyuan's behavior once again exceeded their expectations.

He suddenly jumped up, floating over the heads of the Emei disciples surrounding him like a phantom in the breeze, and ran towards the Ming Cult member.

Many disciples of the Mingjiao were shocked when they saw a person suddenly jumping out from the other side. They couldn't help but draw their weapons, bows and arrows, and prepared to intercept Meng Xiuyuan. However, when the top leaders of the Mingjiao saw this, they didn't react at all. Instead, they stopped their subordinates.

As expected, Meng Xiuyuan had no intention of taking action against the Mingjiao. Instead, he flew to the center of the square, about the same distance from the people on both sides, and stood still.

"Eagle King, Yang Zuoshi, Master Bubu, long time no see."

Meng Xiuyuan slightly cupped his hands and bowed politely to the Ming Jiao Fang.

"I've met Meng Shaoxia." The three of them also bowed to Meng Xiuyuan, without any sign of tenseness as enemies.

Seeing such a situation, everyone from the five sects of the Central Plains felt their hearts pounding again, secretly thinking that something was wrong. Master Jue could not help but be angry, and was the first to stand up and shout:

"Meng Xiuyuan, you have indeed colluded with the Demon Cult, and now you don't even cover it up.

Why don't you just stand in the demon sect's team, and I, Emei, will kill you more today!"

Meng Xiuyuan laughed when he heard Miejie's arrogance, and did not get angry with her. He only looked at both sides, and then said loudly:

"Everyone, since you are both here now, I won't go around in circles.

First of all, I would like to state my position. I am not in any camp regarding the six major factions’ siege on Guangmingding today.

The reason why we led the six major sects from the secret passage to Guangmingding was to reduce friction between the two sides and reduce the number of deaths.

And the reason why I have to speak from the top of this light is to bring everyone together so that I can explain the truth at once."

When both parties present heard what Meng Xiuyuan said, they suddenly realized. Only then did they understand why Meng Xiuyuan acted so strangely.

"Meng Shaoxia, you want to help our Ming Cult make peace with the Central Plains sects, right..."

Yin Tianzheng asked Meng Xiuyuan as usual, but shook his head slightly, obviously not very optimistic about Meng Xiuyuan's idea.

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, several questioning and mocking voices sounded from both sides.

"Hey, that kid from the Wudang Clan, if someone calls you Meng Shaoxia, you really think of yourself as a person, right..."

Zhou Dian, one of the Wusan people, has always been eccentric and speechless. Now seeing Meng Xiuyuan being so prominent, he felt very dissatisfied. Regardless of the obstruction of the monk beside him, he pointed at Meng Xiuyuan and spat Xingzi wildly:

“You, the so-called ‘respectable’ people from the Central Plains, are you worthy of making peace with our Mingjiao?

Invading my main altar of Guangmingding and breaking into the secret passage of our religion are unforgivable capital crimes.

You want to expose it with just a few words?"

At the same time, Master Kong Zhi, the leader of the five factions in the Central Plains, also spoke:

"Meng Shaoxia, I understand that you are related by marriage to Wudang and the Sky Eagle Sect, so you are in a dilemma between them.

But our sect has killed and injured many people at the hands of the Demon Cult in the past, and owes an ocean-deep blood debt, but it is not that easy for you to resolve it."

As soon as Kong Zhi said this, Zong Weixia from the Kongtong sect immediately echoed:

"Master Kongzhi is absolutely right, Meng Shaoxia, you'd better stop being such a good person.

Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about Xie Xun, the golden-haired lion king of the Demon Sect, how many murders has he committed by himself?

We, the Kongtong sect, are going to the Bright Summit this time just to seek justice from the Demon Sect, and we will never give up halfway!"

Although the five elders of Kongtong have always had little status among the six factions of the coalition, Zong Weixia's words spoke to everyone's hearts and received a unanimous response, causing everyone to nod in agreement.

Meng Xiu saw this scene and did not argue with them. He just continued to speak loudly:

"You have misunderstood, I am not pretending to be a good person, I must let you put aside your hatred.

Although I do know some of the twists and turns, and I understand that this time the six sects besieged Mingjiao, they were actually instigated by traitors, and there was a huge misunderstanding.

But these can be left aside for the time being.

What I really want to say is..."

As he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan raised his finger and pointed at both camps, his expression gradually becoming serious:

"Everyone present here, except for the two of them, Shu Bu and Peng Yingyu, is not worthy of being called a hero.

I, Meng Xiuyuan, look down on you!"

As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said this, Mingjiao and the five major sects were in an uproar.

Even though there were many people who were angry and secretly yelled and cursed while hiding in the crowd, there were also many people who were confused and didn't understand why Meng Xiuyuan suddenly said such words.
