Zhu Ziyue is such a smart person. She already knows this matter very well. The reason why she said this is just to resolve the crisis at hand.
As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses. No matter how talented and potential Jiang Tian is, it would be extremely unwise to confront Ling Jiuyuan head-on.
She took this step down just to give everyone a chance to take a step back.
This not only saves Ling Jiuyuan's face, but also allows Jiang Tian to escape danger, and avoids everyone's embarrassment. The cleverness of the idea is simply touching.
There is a subtle and strange atmosphere floating in the air. As long as no one dares to expose her, a crisis can be resolved, even if everyone is already aware of it and understands it tacitly.
However, in Ling Jiuyuan's eyes, Zhu Ziyue was obviously not important enough.
He frowned slightly, a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his words were shocking.
"I don't agree with you. No matter how stupid they are, they won't seek death on their own. Moreover, how can you explain the demon trapping talisman and the spirit attracting talisman? If they weren't from my hand, who would have given them to them?"
As soon as the words were heard, everyone was shocked in unison!
Zhu Ziyue's eyes turned cold, she didn't expect Ling Jiuyuan to react like this.
The steps she had painstakingly set down were smashed into pieces by the other party with just a few words. It seemed that Ling Jiuyuan had no intention of letting Jiang Tian go, and was determined to fight to the end.
He turned to look at Jiang Tian, only to find that he was still calm and composed, as if he didn't realize that he was already standing on the edge of the cliff. If he took another step forward, he would be faced with a mountain of swords and a sea of fire that could shatter him to pieces!
Why is this person so clueless?
She frowned, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Jiang Tian, are you mistaken? How come Luo Wei and Du Hang have the Demon Trap Talisman and the Spirit Attracting Talisman?" Zhu Ziyue asked eagerly, with a hint of resentment in her voice.
Ling Jiuyuan had a strange smile on his face and looked down at the two young men, wanting to see what kind of tricks they could come up with.
"How could it be? That's what they said personally, otherwise how would I know the power of the magic talisman?" Jiang Tian shook his head and smiled, extremely calm.
He glanced at Zhu Ziyue and smiled calmly at her, then looked at Ling Jiuyuan coldly, with firm and sharp eyes.
Zhu Ziyue's heart completely sank.
Ling Jiuyuan is scheming and scheming at every step. Jiang Tian knows the danger but is not afraid. In this situation, what else can she say and what can she do?
Zhu Ziyue shook her head and sighed, becoming speechless.
She can only hope that the college elder who brought them here will show up soon, and maybe he can stop the fight, otherwise Jiang Tian will definitely die!
However, the elder never showed up, and he didn't know what he was doing.
The atmosphere gradually fell into a stalemate, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
Chen Yu, Bai Tianshuo, Ma Dong, Han Peng and others all had gloomy smiles on their faces, eager to see Jiang Tian's fate.
…
Just when there was a stalemate at the entrance of the valley, a figure suddenly fell from the core area of Sword Soul Valley.
This is an old man with a deep aura, his beard and hair are all white, and he is covered in plain robes. He looks like an immortal.
He held a damaged ancient sword in his hand. The mottled sword was covered with rust, and it faintly exuded a distant and powerful sword intent, like a sleeping ancient giant beast.
The old man carried the ancient sword and landed in front of the dense forest in the core area. After landing, his expression changed.
"How could this happen?" His eyes narrowed and scanned the surroundings, and his sharp gaze made the void tremble!
Then he quickly walked into the cave, and when he arrived at the cave, his face became extremely deep.
"How is that possible?" The old man's eyes flashed with sternness, he shook his head and shouted coldly.
"I have spent so much effort to find the Burning Phoenix Ancient Sword. I expected it to be able to suppress the Cold Crystal Sword Marrow, but unexpectedly something like this happened!"
Looking at the messy grotto, the old man took a deep breath and looked extremely uneasy.
After a while, he walked out of the cave with the ancient sword in hand, glanced around him coldly, and swept forward.
…
"Jiang Tian, what else do you have to say?" Ling Jiuyuan exhaled slowly, as if the overall situation was decided.
This time, Su Wan, Luo Lan and Qiu Feng were not present. Who else could save Jiang Tian?
"I have made it very clear that you, Deputy Palace Master Ling, are behind everything. Your purpose is to kill me. Do you still need to doubt this matter?" Jiang Tian sneered and did not flinch.
Zhu Ziyue no longer knew what to say, she held her left hand tightly in her sleeve, frowned and sighed, her eyes slightly hesitant.
"Very good, bring out evidence to prove what you said, otherwise you know the consequences very well." Ling Jiuyuan smiled coldly, his eyes sharp.
Jiang Tian shook his head and smiled: "Deputy Palace Master Ling planned carefully, how could he leave any evidence?"
"Hahahaha, since there is no evidence, then you are slandering me! Jiang Tian, what crime do you deserve?" Ling Jiuyuan's face turned cold, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
Seeing Jiang Tian fall into his death step by step, being played by him, this feeling is so wonderful.
Even if he is a genius with extraordinary qualifications, even if his future achievements may be nothing in a million, even if he will grow into an unrivaled powerful man, he must survive first.
However, can he?
"Death penalty!" Jiang Tian smiled lightly, his eyes extremely cold.
"Hahahaha, it seems that you are very aware and it is not in vain for me to spend so much effort!" Ling Jiuyuan laughed more and more wildly, reaching the level of unscrupulousness.
Facing a dozen young disciples, even if they admitted what they had done, what could they do and what would they dare to say?
"No, I'm talking about you!" Jiang Tian smiled leisurely, his face full of sarcasm.
"As the deputy master of the Golden Palace and an elder of the academy, if you take revenge on a young disciple with such cruel and despicable methods, what is this but a capital crime?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Ziyue couldn't help but the corners of her eyes twitched, and her brows wrinkled tighter and tighter.
Chen Yu and others laughed more and more proudly. Jiang Tian thought he died too slowly!
"Jiang Tian, you killed a fellow sect member and also attacked me wantonly and slandered me. It's enough to kill me a hundred times!" Ling Jiuyuan's expression was cold, and murderous intent was everywhere around him.
"Isn't this exactly what you want?" Jiang Tian sneered.
"Good boy, if you are brave enough, you can go on your way!" Ling Jiuyuan flashed a ferocious expression and raised his palm to slap Jiang Tian.
boom!
The huge spiritual power palm print suddenly fell, the air was filled with mighty pressure, and the wind and clouds rolled back.
This palm was enough to crush Jiang Tian to pieces. Everyone did not want to be involved, let alone be buried with him. Their expressions changed drastically and they all dodged aside as quickly as possible.
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, the powerful pressure instantly overwhelmed Jiang Tian, causing the entire ground to shake!
Zhu Ziyue's face became extremely ugly. She secretly hated herself for not being decisive enough. If she had more courage, maybe things could turn around.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
Jiang Tian only has the strength of the eighth level of the Spirit Building Realm, how could he possibly withstand Ling Jiuyuan's terrifying blow?
