Chapter 1400 - 1400 1386 The Truth

Chapter 1400: Chapter 1386: The Truth Chapter 1400: Chapter 1386: The Truth The people from the Immortal Demon Realm were in the west, led by Lou Xuancheng, with Su Zhanze carrying the Dragon Slayer Sword right beside him. The sun had just begun to rise, failing to dispel the surrounding mist, and droplets of water still clung to the leaves, as if a significant rain had just fallen the night before. The assembled forces of the Immortal Demon Realm were essentially all present here.

In the east, led by Longhun, he always appeared as though he had just returned from hell, clad in a long, dark robe, his eyes filled with a murderous aura, playing with a black, soul-like energy in his hands.

Ren Haotian stood right by his side, followed by the new Death Army brought by Longhun.

Today was the day they had agreed upon for their decisive battle.

Both sides were somewhat impatient.

Upon seeing Ren Haotian, Chen Yu was the most agitated and exclaimed, “You traitor of the Immortal City Sect, you’re indeed still alive.”

Ren Haotian scoffed coldly, “So, now I’ve become a traitor to the Immortal City Sect!”

“Conspiring with the Dragon Slaying Clan, scheming on Paper Kite Island, plotting against our Immortal City Sect, if you’re not a traitor, then what are you? Don’t think we don’t know that you learned of our trip to the thirty-six islands through Qiao Haoyu, that dead pig, and secretly exposed our whereabouts. That fat pig is already in prison and will never turn over a new leaf.”

It turned out Ren Haotian had promised Qiao Haoyu benefits. Since Su Zhanze’s return, Qiao Haoyu had been greatly affected, suffering from Su Zhanze’s constant ostracism and feeling awful, realizing he would gradually be pushed out of the Immortal City Sect.

Ren Haotian told Qiao Haoyu that he would definitely expose Su Zhanze’s true face and help him deal with Su Zhanze, even revealing his plan of how he would deal with Su Zhanze. Qiao Haoyu felt it was to his advantage; if Su Zhanze really died on the thirty-six islands, then he would definitely have a chance to become the new Sect Leader. With Su Zhanze likely dead, Yuan Jingxing would absolutely not be able to compete with him; thus, he decided to cooperate with Ren Haotian and secretly arrange for people to infiltrate Su Zhanze’s ranks. It was through these people that Ren Haotian learned of Su Zhanze’s departure from the Immortal Demon Realm to the thirty-six islands and then to Paper Kite Island.

Later on, they secretly lured the people of the thirty-six islands to Paper Kite Island, leading to the mysterious encirclement of the Immortal City Sect on Paper Kite Island afterward.

Since the incident at Paper Kite Island, Su Zhanze began to suspect that there was a problem with the people around him. After a few more suspicious incidents, he was determined to find out who was leaking their movements. Sure enough, after employing a tactic to draw out the snake from its hole, he found the mole and eventually traced it back to Qiao Haoyu.

“That dead fatso, I don’t care about him.” Ren Haotian said coldly.

“So you admit it, it was he who helped you, exposing our whereabouts, leading to the incident at Paper Kite Island.” Chen Yu continued, “You, such a culprit plotting against the Immortal City Sect, still dare to say you’re not a traitor.”

“You should thank Ye Chen, if it weren’t for him, you would have been wiped out and wouldn’t be here talking to me.”

“What a cruel fellow, committing such acts, yet so brazen.”

“I admit my own deeds; do you dare admit yours?”

Longhun had already promised Ren Haotian an opportunity to expose those hypocrites’ true faces.

Ren Haotian had to expose them and let everyone know how hypocritical they were.

“Because of your father’s death, you want to frame us, right?” Chen Yu had to seize the initiative and countercharge.

“Su Zhanze, you hypocritical scoundrel, today I must ensure your complete downfall.” Ren Haotian pointed his finger accusingly.

Su Zhanze seemed not to waste too many words with this man and said, “Today is the day of the great battle, not a war of words. We’d better fight quickly and determine the winner.” As he spoke, he glanced at Lou Xuancheng and Xiong Shuobo in the distance; they were the responsibles, and the battle would start with their command.

Longhun was not in a hurry and said, “No rush, I also want to hear how you hypocrites conduct yourselves. I believe many people want to know whether the matter with Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei was your doing. It seems that Sect Leader Xiong is especially keen to find out.” He, of course, knew about the last time Xiong Shuobo strenuously proved that the incident with Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei was Su Zhanze’s doing.

Longhun also hoped to expose their true faces, letting everyone realize that the Immortal Demon Realm was merely a pretentious force of justice, to disband their morale and split them apart.

Chen Yu laughed, “Heh, the last time Xiong Shuobo’s accusations against us were purely for his personal agenda, without any witnesses. Is that also considered evidence?”

Ren Haotian said, “No evidence, you say? Today I will bring out the witness. I know you all are looking for a woman, but she is in my hands. The person Su Zhanze desperately wanted to kill, yet I saved her.” He then called out, “Bring her here.”

The woman was none other than Lin Ruoqin, who had switched the packages on the day of Ren Xiongbei’s death.

“How is she in the hands of Ren Haotian?” Su Zhanze glared at Chen Yu, who was also stunned.

Chen Yu lowered her head.

Ren Haotian was unusually quiet as he asked, “Tell me who exactly instructed you to tamper with my father’s luggage? Were they here today? Just tell us the truth. We will protect you today; no one will be able to kill you.”

Lin Ruoqin had assisted Su Zhanze, only to end up being hunted by him, nearly dying at the hands of the Immortal City Sect. Knowing that the Immortal City Sect was out to kill her and realizing she might never have another chance to speak out, she pointed at Su Zhanze, who wore a mask, and Chen Yu, and said, “It was that guy wearing the mask, and the executioner to his left.”

“Tell us what happened exactly,” Ren Haotian said.

Lin Ruoqin explained, “Just a few days before the switch, these two approached me to carry out a task for them. They said if I agreed, they would instantly redeem me from the brothel. At first, I didn’t know what they intended to do. Redeeming me would require a significant sum of silver, but I was desperate to leave. Everyone knows that people like us in the brothel only mix youth with beauty, which fades with time, and at my age, the good days won’t last long. They also promised me a sum of silver.”

“After I made sure it wasn’t about killing someone, I agreed to their request. Only later did I find out that your father was the target. Honestly, I harbored a deep resentment against your father for always failing to keep his promise to redeem me.”

“They asked me to find your father, and that’s when I learned he was nearby. Following their instructions, I met with your father and then they had me drug him, insisting it wasn’t poison. After drugging him, that night I switched out the book in his luggage as they had asked,” she continued.

“Wait a minute, what kind of book was in his luggage? Was it one book or two?”

“It was one red book. There was something written on the cover, but I was in such a hurry I didn’t look closely. But I swear, it was a red book—I can take an oath on that.”

“What did you switch in? Was it one book or two?”

Lin Ruoqin replied, “I took out the Red Volume, and that guy took it. I waited a while, and soon he reappeared with two books for me, one red and one black, instructing me to put them in the luggage. I didn’t think too much of it and just did as they said, switched the luggage, and hurried off.”

“So that’s what happened.”

“You wouldn’t just pick someone at random to pin your father’s doing on us, would you? Who here would believe this woman’s words, thinking we are here to listen to a story?” Chen Yu said with a cold laugh.

“Pick someone at random? You could check whose courtyard that was—isn’t she the owner? I believe that wouldn’t be too difficult, and neither would verifying her identity.”

“Even if she is Lin Ruoqin, it doesn’t prove that what she’s saying is a result of your coercion, intending to throw dirt on us. It won’t be that easy.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoqin raised her voice and said, “I swear to heaven, everything I’ve said is true. If even one word is a lie, may lightning strike me down and may I be condemned to the 18 levels of hell, to never rest in peace.”

Ren Haotian smiled and said, “A woman has spoken to this extent; do you dare to take an oath like hers, declaring that the deed wasn’t yours?”

Chen Yu was left speechless.

“If you dare to take such an oath, even if the matter regarding Fang Ziren wasn’t our doing, my father and I would accept it.”

The room fell silent at that moment.

Su Zhanze then said, “I didn’t come here to wag tongues with you, Alliance Leader. Let’s just start the battle.”

“How admirable. Even at this point, you think we are merely wagging tongues. You really are shameless. It serves you right to wear a mask,” Ren Haotian retorted.

“You…”

Continuing, Ren Haotian said, “You idiots didn’t even stop to think. If we really were the ones who drove Fang Ziren mad and killed more than a hundred of his men, knowing that Xiong Shuobo had escaped and holding both volumes of the Secret Manual, why would we not leave immediately but instead stay in the town to wine and dine, waiting for you all to catch us? Even if we were foolish, after committing such an act and leaving survivors, why would my father take the Secret Manual to drink with a woman? Such an unreliable act couldn’t possibly be the work of someone who managed to outsmart the Heavenly City Sect with his intellect.”

Xiong Shuobo looked at Ren Haotian, thinking the young man was right. If they knew they had been exposed and even left a survivor in the woods, why hadn’t they fled at once? It didn’t make sense, which suggested that this deed might not have been perpetrated by Ren and his son.

“If you had any brains at all, you would suspect there’s a problem here. But you fools are only focused on the Secret Manual. Not a single one of you is up to any good.”

Longhun, from a distance, began clapping and praised, “Brilliant! It’s simply splendid, beyond all doubt!”
