Chapter 312: Chapter 226: The Situation Reverses!_2

At that critical moment, when everyone was accusing Li Ping’an of shamelessness, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, seeing that Li Ping’an had repeatedly mentioned that this Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was Xie Wenren of Flame Cloud Sect.

He believed that at such a time, Li Ping’an would definitely not make a rash assertion. After all, he had already torn his face with Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect Taishi Bao, Head of Yanyue Sect Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, and Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao.

He might as well give Li Ping’an a hand once again.

"Gentlemen, please hear me out!"

The head of Immeasurable Sect immediately stood up and addressed everyone:

"I think there’s no harm in seeing the face of this Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao. After all, Li Ping’an can’t run away. It’s just a slight delay, but what if what Li Ping’an said is true?"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen shouted loudly:

"Impossible! Xie Wenren has already been expelled from our sect! That useless person could never be so strong!"

"Taishu Senior Brother, I think you’ve really been bewitched by Li Ping’an!"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, glared at Taishu Yiqing unhappily and said:

"Everyone can see he is just Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, and even if not, he definitely can’t be Xie Wenren from Flame Cloud Sect!"

"Uncle Master Taishu, what kind of magic potion did Li Ping’an feed you?"

Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, not daring to offend Head of Immeasurable Sect Taishu Yiqing, could only patiently try to persuade him:

"Uncle Master Taishu, things have come to this point, and you’re still speaking for Li Ping’an! Forget it!"

"Let’s quickly deal with Li Ping’an first!"

"Li Ping’an is Li Ping’an, and Nangong Zhidao is Nangong Zhidao, we should treat them separately!"

"Let’s deal with Li Ping’an first, then we can talk about Nangong Zhidao’s issue later!"

Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and other sect leaders were still focusing their fire on Li Ping’an, only by killing Li Ping’an, who had invisibly disrupted their plans, would they be able to carry out their conspiracy of securing the positions in The Four Great Noble Paths and Imperial Court Offering.

"Li Ping’an! Unleash a strand of Sword Qi! Quick!"

Wang Tianran urgently finished speaking in Li Ping’an’s mind and then reapplied the Concentration Technique on Xie Wenren who was disguised as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

Just when Xie Wenren, who was disguised as Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, was immobilized again, Li Ping’an suddenly swung his sword at him.

Multicolored Sword Qi shot out, bursting forth with tremendous strength, and instantly aimed toward the face of Xie Wenren, who was disguised as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

"Using that move again?"

The Kumarajiva in his left shoulder immediately freed Xie Wenren, who was disguised as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, from the Concentration Technique, and by the time Xie Wenren could move again, countless Sword Qis flew past him just as he leapt into the air.

"Still trying to use that move to kill me? Li Ping’an, you’re really ridiculous..."

As Xie Wenren, who was disguised as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, was speaking, he suddenly saw the Sword Qi fired by Li Ping’an, and although it didn’t harm his flesh, it had directly chopped off his sideburns and bangs during his attempt to dodge.

Meaning, his true face was now exposed as he was in a state of disheveled hair!

As soon as he landed steadily, it drew many exclamations of astonishment!

"Master! He really is Xie Wenren!"

"Master! How could he possibly be Xie Wenren?"

"Master! Could it be that after being expelled by our Junior Uncle he switched schools?"

"Master! Even if he switched schools and joined the Orthodox Zhengyi, how could he possibly have improved so much in such a short time?"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Senior Brothers Jiao Chujun, the second, third, and fourth Senior Brothers were all dumbfounded upon seeing the true face of Xie Wenren.

"He... He is really Xie Wenren!"

Now Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen finally understood that Li Ping’an’s words were not false, but this was something he could not accept!

That the weakest and most inept disciple of Flame Cloud Sect had become so powerful in such a short time was telling everybody that he, the sect leader, was incompetent!

At that moment, his shock lingered for a long time!

"What... what exactly is going on here?"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, immediately turned his head to look towards the shocked Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen:

"Senior Brother Zhuge, how could things have developed to this point? What exactly is going on with Xie Wenren? I’m completely baffled by this."

Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect also questioned:

"Uncle-master Zhuge, this situation has become very difficult, if you don’t clarify this to these people, I can’t speak on your behalf either..."

"I didn’t expect that what Li Ping’an said was true..."

Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and other sect leaders were instantly dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, but they understood that the situation was about to change again.

"Just as I thought..."

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, was shocked that Li Ping’an had long exposed the true identity of the person posing as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao. However, now was not the time for him to speculate how Li Ping’an knew, he only wanted to make Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen unable to clear his name!

"Senior Brother Zhuge, so you had planned everything from the start, and yet you claimed you hadn’t placed your own sect disciples!"

"It seems you want to monopolize all the positions in The Four Great Noble Paths, is that it?"

Following the prompt from the Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, the other cultivators refocused their hostility towards Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen:

"Sect Master Zhuge, at this point, don’t you owe us an explanation!"

"Sect Master Zhuge, what exactly is going on here?"

"Sect Master Zhuge, you internally decided on the positions for The Four Great Noble Paths and the Imperial Court Offering positions, and yet you still openly cheat here?"

"Sect Master Zhuge, are you trying to use the disciple you placed in Zhengyi Temple to snatch the positions of The Four Great Noble Paths?"

"Sect Master Zhuge, you don’t really want to dominate alone, do you?"

"Exactly, exactly, we don’t even know how much money the Imperial Court Offering is, who knows how much you would give us!"

"Sect Master Zhuge, we don’t want to target you, but you must clarify this matter!"

"Yes, yes, yes! You keep doing this, you are treating all the Taoist sects under heaven like they are your playthings!"

"Sect Master Zhuge..."

Facing the questioning of the cultivators, Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen finally recovered from the shock. He glared at Li Ping’an, then squinted at Xie Wenren, who he once looked down upon, and questioned:

"Are you Xie Wenren? You certainly look like him, but how can I be sure that this face of yours isn’t someone else’s?"

"..."

Forced to reveal his true face, Xie Wenren felt extremely embarrassed. Suddenly, he dared not face the stern teacher who once despised him. But thinking about the hardships and injustices he had suffered over the years, he suddenly felt that none of it mattered anymore. Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen was just a petty man!

"Yes! I am a disciple of the Flame Cloud Sect, Xie Wenren!"

At this moment, Xie Wenren no longer posed as Orthodox Zhengyi Temple’s Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, and didn’t bother to explain anything further, but straightforwardly admitted it in public.

With Xie Wenren’s honest admission, this directly placed Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen completely at the center of controversy!

"Sect Master Zhuge, Xie Wenren has admitted it himself, what do you have to say now, huh?"

After Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, finished speaking sarcastically, he waited for what Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen had to say.

"Sect Master Zhuge, you must clarify this matter to us!"

"Sect Master Zhuge, aren’t you being too excessive?"

"Sect Master Zhuge, are you treating us like fools?"

Facing the accusations from the cultivators, Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen’s face turned purplish-green. For a moment, he really didn’t know how to explain such a bizarre and strange occurrence.
