Immortal Venerable's Order
Chapter 425 - 419 Slander

Chapter 425: Chapter 419 Slander

Wu Xu smiled faintly.

"Gudu Mohan, I think you misunderstand. I did not harm Master Jiang; rather, she deliberately sought to harm me."

"Heh heh!"

Gudu Mohan sneered, "Daoist Wu Xu, then what is your intention in coming to the Taoist Immortal Sect to seek my deceased friend, Yan Rufeng?"

Wu Xu sneered disdainfully.

"As I said before, Master Yan has been reborn. When I learned she was in trouble, I came here to find and protect her."

"An old friend with the Immortal Venerable Body needs your protection? And besides, how can you be sure that Brother Yan has been reborn?"

"Ha ha."

Wu Xu laughed, "It’s so amusing. The news of Master Yan’s rebirth was spread from your Taoist Immortal Sect. You have never stopped hunting her since then, yet now you’re asking me how I found out. This is utterly absurd!"

"Even if that is so, it is a matter for our Taoist Immortal Sect. What does it have to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me!"

Wu Xu squinted his eyes and smiled, "Ten years ago, Yan Rufeng, the number one in the Immortal Domain, died fighting the Demon Clan. Now, she has been reborn, and instead of welcoming her back with honors, you accuse her of colluding with the Demon Clan. This is the so-called ’righteous’ action of your Taoist Immortal Sect."

"So what?"

Wu Xu said slowly, "Heaven has virtues of good life. Our Western Buddha Country cannot bear the injustice done to Master Yan, so I have come here to guide her to become a Buddha!"

Upon hearing this, Gudu Mohan, with his hands behind his back, frowned deeply. His chiseled face showed no emotion, like being brushed by a cold wind.

"Yun Jiuge, come out."

Yun Jiuge trembled, thinking to himself, "Why is he calling me?"

Yun Jiuge dared not delay and hurriedly stepped forward, cupping his hands, "I don’t know why Emperor Gudu is calling me?"

Gudu Mohan said plainly, "Yun Jiuge, if I remember correctly, you were the one who announced Yan Rufeng’s rebirth half a year ago, correct?"

Yun Jiuge bowed his head and said, "The news of Yan Rufeng’s rebirth was indeed announced by me, but..."

"But what?"

Gudu Mohan’s sharp eyes emitted a chilling light.

Yun Jiuge felt a chill down his spine.

"Replying to Emperor Gudu, I also heard it from others."

"Hmph, heard it from others, you say!"

Gudu Mohan sneered.

"Yun Jiuge, then tell me, where did you hear that Yan Rufeng was colluding with the Demon Clan ten years ago?"

Yun Jiuge looked at Yuanfa Sect Master Tang Jinke.

Tang Jinke, who had been paying close attention, was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

However, the next moment, Tang Jinke angrily thought to himself, "Yun Jiuge, if you dare say it, I won’t let you off."

"Yun Jiuge, why are you silent?"

Gudu Mohan’s voice rang out again.

Yun Jiuge bowed and said, "The news of Emperor Yan’s rebirth and his collusion with the Demon Clan ten years ago was told to me by Yuanfa Immortal Sect Master Tang Jinke."

Tang Jinke was shocked and shouted, "Yun Jiuge, you’re slandering me! I only told you about Emperor Yan’s rebirth, when did I say he colluded with the Demon Clan?"

"Heh heh!"

Yun Jiuge sneered, "Sect Master Tang, don’t deny it. Here, I have the Communication Immortal Sword you sent me as evidence."

"Swoosh～"

A flash of light appeared, and a Communication Immortal Sword appeared in Yun Jiuge’s hand.

"Everyone, this Communication Immortal Sword in my hand is signed by Tang Jinke. If you don’t believe it, you can use your Divine Sense to check it."

Everyone began to extend their Divine Senses to inspect it, including Tang Jinke.

After investigating, everyone grew angry and restless.

Someone shouted in anger, "Tang Jinke, Emperor Yan treated your Yuanfa Sect kindly in life, yet you repay his kindness with betrayal!"

A furious roar came from the crowd, "Tang Jinke, if you don’t give us an explanation today, don’t think about leaving Wanhua Valley."

Tang Jinke felt his limbs go weak, and his mind buzzed.

"No, I did not slander Emperor Yan."

"If you didn’t, then what about the Communication Immortal Sword?"

"Yes, Tang Jinke, please come out and explain to us..."

Faced with everyone’s questions, Tang Jinke found himself unable to defend himself.

Seeing this, Yun Jiuge revealed a sinister smile and then shouted sternly, "Tang Jinke, stop trying to argue. The evidence proves that you are the main culprit in slandering Emperor Yan."

In the Immortal World, those who are deemed Immortal Venerables have great merits and are revered by all Immortals. The name of an Immortal Venerable cannot be tarnished by anyone.

Slandering a deceased Immortal Venerable is a major taboo in the Immortal Domain, and the punishment can range from being banished to the Land of No Boundary to having one’s cultivation abolished.

Tang Jinke knew the consequences of slandering Yan Rufeng. The evidence provided by Yun Jiuge made it impossible for Tang Jinke to clear his name.

Angry and resentful, Tang Jinke could only let out a roar of frustration.

"Yun Jiuge, I don’t know what secret technique you’ve used to alter the Communication Immortal Sword’s contents, but even if I die, I’ll take you with me!"

Lights flashed, and the wind surged.

"Zheng～"

The sound of a sword resonated through the heavens and earth.

A top-grade Immortal Sword, glowing with golden light, appeared in Tang Jinke’s hand.

"Mad! Tang Jinke, you are like a mad dog!"

Yun Jiuge stepped back, and a blue-glowing Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.

"Sect Master Tang, restrain yourself."

Mo Qianchou shouted and leaped in front of Tang Jinke.

"Master Mo, do you intend to stop me from killing Yun Jiuge?"

Mo Qianchou, expressionless with one hand behind his back, said calmly, "Sect Master Tang, the battle from ten years ago indeed seems suspicious. Do not act rashly before investigating thoroughly."

"Heh heh!"

"Master Mo, the fact that Tang Jinke slandered my dear friend Yan Rufeng by colluding with the Demon Clan is already established. What more is there to investigate?"

Gudu Mohan’s body trembled, emanating an intimidating aura as he stood before Mo Qianchou.

Mo Qianchou shouted angrily, "Gudu Mohan, what are you planning to do?"

"What am I planning to do."

Gudu Mohan said coldly, "Master Mo, do you not know how to deal with someone who slanders a deceased Immortal Venerable?"

A glint of light flashed in Mo Qianchou’s eyes.

"You plan to deal with Tang Jinke?"

"What do you think?"

"You..."

"I what?"

Gudu Mohan, with his hands behind his back, exuded a natural majesty and said indifferently, "Master Mo, do you also believe my dear friend Yan Rufeng colluded with the Demon Clan?"

Mo Qianchou was rendered speechless.

Tang Jinke took two steps forward and cupped his hands to Mo Qianchou, "Master Mo, please don’t interfere in this matter. If I, Tang Jinke, die, you can take over the Yuanfa Immortal Sect."

"Sect Master Tang..."

Tang Jinke ignored Mo Qianchou and walked straight towards Yun Jiuge.

Yun Jiuge, not to be outdone, raised his sword towards Tang Jinke.

"Slandering a deceased Immortal Venerable, death with no mercy."
