"Prince Gong, please tell me first?" City Lord Tai'a chuckled. Since he wanted to make peace, he didn't want to take sides. After all, he couldn't afford to offend either side.
Gong Wuji snorted coldly: "Jiuyang Tianzong deliberately found trouble from the beginning to influence our Immortal Heavenly Capital to search for Jiang Chen's little thief. What happened later was even more inexplicable. I, Gong, killed some of their true disciples. That's nonsense, Gong.
I have killed countless people in my life. If I really want to kill him, there is really nothing I dare not admit. But I have never seen this true disciple, so how can I kill him?"
When Gong Wuji said this, he became very angry.
City Lord Tai'a smiled and looked at Elder Hao of Jiuyang Tianzong: "Elder Hao, you said that King Gong killed your true disciple of Jiuyang Tianzong, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Elder Hao said angrily, pointing behind Gong Wuji, "That sword is the evidence. That sword is called the Sea-Floating Sword. It is the natal weapon of Cao Jin, a true disciple of my Jiuyang Tianzong sect. A human sword cannot
Once the person is separated from the sword, either the person dies or the sword is destroyed."
"Moreover, Cao Jin's Soul Lamp was broken, and now his Sea-Overturning Sword is in the hands of Gong Wuji. He also admitted that he got the sword through murder. If he wasn't the murderer, who else could he be?"
Elder Hao was so angry that he had the urge to continue taking action if he disagreed.
When the Lord of Tai'a City heard what he said, it was a bit difficult to handle. What Elder Hao said was reasonable and well-founded.
Gong Wuji was furious: "This sword is not mine at all."
Elder Hao sneered: "Just now you admitted that it was yours, but now you don't dare to admit it? This sword was just sent by your disciple, right? You said that you forgot it in the Red Cauldron Central Domain and didn't get it back. This always means
Isn’t it fake?”
Gong Wuji was extremely angry. Faintly, he felt that he seemed to be being fooled. Not only was he being fooled, but everyone present was being fooled.
However, because of his face, he didn't bother to explain anything at this time. If he kept explaining at this time, people would think that Gong Wuji was afraid of Jiuyang Tianzong.
His eyes turned cold immediately, and he turned around and said, "Call that Zhao Neng over."
Soon, Zhao Neng was called over. He thought Gong Wuji wanted to praise him and promote him.
"Master Dharma King, disciple Zhao Neng..."
Gong Wuji was annoyed and waved his hand: "Who asked you to send this sword?"
Zhao Neng thought for a while and said truthfully: "It's a disciple of a sect in the Central Red Cauldron Region. I don't remember which sect he is from. He said that he was entrusted by the Red Cauldron Emperor to return the sword. Return it.
He said that it must be delivered to His Majesty the King of Dharma, and also said that he wanted me to greet His Majesty the King of Dharma on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor Chiding."
"What does the person delivering the sword look like?" someone next to Gong Wuji asked.
Zhao Neng scratched his head and felt a little nervous. He was not a fool, and he also realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the sword.
However, if he is asked to describe a person, how can he describe it?
For a moment, I was stunned, but I couldn't describe it. I stammered: "I only know that this guy said that this sword is very important..."
"Why didn't he send it himself?"
Zhao Neng said with a mournful face: "He said there is martial law here. He is a low-level sect disciple and is not qualified to come in. So he entrusted me to send him here."
The more Gong Wuji listened, the more frustrated he became, and he shouted, "Get out of here!"
He knew that Zhao Neng had been tricked. Moreover, the person who tricked him obviously did it on purpose. He saw this opportunity and deliberately wanted to cause a big fight between the two sects.
Now it seems that the opponent's move is very insidious, but it is very effective.
Zhao Neng was so frightened that he walked away dejectedly with a pale face.
The Lord of Tai'a City smiled bitterly and said: "You two, why do I feel that someone is deliberately planning this to provoke a big fight between you?"
Elder Hao was not a fool. Judging from Gong Wuji's expression, he also vaguely felt that there might be an inside story behind this matter.
Thinking about it carefully, if it was really Gong Wuji who killed Cao Jin, he had no reason not to cover up the fact. How could he take out the sword and show it to others? Or even forget it in the middle of the Red Cauldron?
All of this, if you think about it carefully, seems to be unjustifiable.
However, despite this, Elder Hao did not completely dispel his doubts. Although this kind of thing is suspicious, it may not completely rule out Gong Wuji's suspicion.
Suddenly, a sect leader from the Central Red Cauldron Territory asked: "Elder Hao, I would like to ask, when was your sect Cao Jin's natal soul lamp extinguished?"
Elder Hao didn't even bother to answer these questions, but someone from Jiuyang Tianzong answered them on his behalf.
As soon as this date was mentioned, everyone in the Red Cauldron Central Territory smiled bitterly.
"Elder Hao, if you say so, Mr. Gong of your sect was really not killed by Mr. Gong. Obviously, Mr. Gong came to our Red Cauldron Central Territory and then to the Wanxiang Territory after something happened to Mr. Cao. This date is not at all
sorry."
Elder Hao thought about it carefully and felt that this day was not right.
It should be said that Jiuyang Tianzong also has many informants in the Wanxiang Territory. If a powerful person like Gong Wuji appears in the Wanxiang Territory, there will be no news.
At this time, the Lord of Tai'a City said: "Elder Hao, it is obvious that this matter is highly artificial. Zhao Neng also said just now that it was a sword given to him by a disciple of the sect. People from various sects in the Central Red Cauldron Territory,
Just call them all together and let Zhao Neng recognize him. If there is such a person, he can be recognized at once. If there is no such person, it proves that someone has faked his name."
This method has also been recognized by neutral people.
"Yes, this method is feasible."
The Red Cauldron Central Territory side is also very cooperative. They are not cooperating with Jiuyang Tianzong, but they are cooperating with Immortal Heavenly Capital. They don't want Gong Wuji to be suspected by the people of Jiuyang Tianzong.
From their standpoint, they don’t even want to be enemies with Jiuyang Tianzong.
Therefore, they hope that Mr. Gong Wuji can clear away the suspicion.
Although there were many people brought by the various sects in the Red Cauldron Central Territory, they stood there one by one. Zhao Neng looked around three or four times and shook his head: "There is no such person."
The Lord of Tai'a City asked seriously: "Are you sure all of your sects are here?"
"They're all here, not a single one is missing." All the sect leaders said.
The Lord of Tai'a City glanced at Elder Hao: "Elder Hao, this matter is basically certain. You have all been tricked."
Elder Hao actually believed 90% of it so far. However, it was obviously impossible for him to surrender at this time. He walked up to Gong Wuji angrily.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the sword."
Gong Wuji was furious: "Why? You fall out when you say it? You do it when you say it? Everything belongs to you. Now, do you still have the nerve to ask me for a sword?"
"The sword belongs to our Jiuyang Tianzong, and it is only right to take it back to our Jiuyang Tianzong." Elder Hao also responded tit for tat, not feeling that his request was excessive at all.
"Fart! You provoked a fight for no reason, causing heavy casualties to our Immortal Heavenly Sect. You just want to take the sword back without saying anything? Do you really think Gong is easy to talk to?" Gong Wuji obviously had no intention of letting it go.
Elder Hao smiled coldly: "Where are you going? Another fight?"
Gong Wuji was furious: "Aren't you afraid?"
The Lord of Tai'a City hurriedly said: "You two, stay, stay! Since we know that someone is cheating on this matter, if you continue to fight, it will be painful for relatives and quick for enemies. Give me a piece of cake, and let's talk about it.
. Elder Hao, you took action without asking clearly. You should give King Gong an apology. King Gong, since the sword belongs to Jiuyang Tianzong, there is no harm in returning it to them."
The Lord of Tai'a City actually doesn't want to be the Peacemaker, but if he causes trouble and kills in his territory, he shouldn't be the Peacemaker, let alone others.
Therefore, he had to bite the bullet and mediate.
Gong Wuji said coldly: "Apologise first."
"Return the sword first." Elder Hao was also unambiguous.
The two were tit for tat, and at this point, it was obvious that there was only a battle of spirits left.
At this moment, people kept coming from the outside to report: "Master Gong, the casual cultivators rushed out of the city. At least two-thirds of the hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators have left."
"Master Gong, at least more than half of the people we monitored are gone..."
Bad news kept coming, and Gong Wuji's expression became increasingly ugly. This time, he was not only fooled, but also thoroughly fooled.
Suddenly, a face appeared in Gong Wuji's mind.
Jiang Chen!
Although he didn't know who the person who delivered the sword was, he immediately thought of Jiang Chen. He disguised himself as a disciple of the sect in the Red Cauldron Central Region, coaxed that idiot Zhao Neng around, and then brought this disaster to the people.
The sword was delivered and put into his own hands, triggering this bloody incident.
For a moment, Gong Wuji only felt that his throat was sweet and there was a rush of old blood, and he almost couldn't help but spit it out.
There is no doubt that I have been tricked by Jiang Chen again!
Li ignored Elder Hao on the other side and walked directly out with the elite of Immortal Capital.
"How many of those people under surveillance have left?" Gong Wuji asked with a dark face.
"Sir, there are more than 400 pairs of two-person teams that were plucked from the casual cultivators before. There are more than 200 pairs that left. However, more than 100 pairs have been chased back by our people. They are still there.
There are hundreds of pairs left, and although they have gone far away, most of them have been chased by people."
Gong Wuji's face was dark: "How many couples are heading towards Liuli King's City?"
"There are seven pairs in total."
Gong Wuji nodded: "Focus on tracking these seven pairs. If you catch any pair, bring them to me. If you encounter resistance or lose contact, you must report them!"
"Everyone is here, chase in the direction of Liuli King City!" Gong Wuji is also a person who can take things up and let them go. At this moment, his main conflict is still with Jiang Chen.
The grievances with Jiuyang Tianzong cannot be discussed and can only be put aside for now.
He had a strong premonition that Jiang Chen must have been to Tai'a City, and the sword must have been sent by Jiang Chen. Thinking of this, Gong Wuji was filled with rage.
Gong Wuji had been teased by Jiang Chen more than once, which made Gong Wuji's imperial dignity feel deeply offended.
Among the seven pairs of people on the route to Liuli King City, Jiang Chen must be among them!
Gong Wuji is almost 100% sure of this.
"Jiang Chen, let's see how you escape this time! You think you are smart, but you don't know that you have been marked by my Immortal Heavenly Capital with an immortal mark. If you want to escape from me, you are just dreaming!"
Gong Wuji gritted his teeth and shot his eyes in the direction of the Liuli Royal City with a sinister look, his brows filled with murderous intent.
The continuous setbacks and continuous plotting by Jiang Chen had made Gong Wuji completely hairy.
