Chapter 1401 - 1401 1387 Harbouring Ulterior Motives

Chapter 1401: Chapter 1387: Harbouring Ulterior Motives Chapter 1401: Chapter 1387: Harbouring Ulterior Motives “As for whether my father is the murderer, I have already cleared him of suspicion. Unless you are pretending to be foolish, there’s no need for me to prove who the killer is, because Sect Leader Xiong has already proven who the killer is during your alliance meeting. Besides my father, there is only one person who could have done this,” Ren Haotian said.

All eyes turned to Su Zhanze.

Chen Yu shouted, “This is a conspiracy! They are trying to divide us. Alliance Leader, let’s go to war with them without any more words.”

Before Lou Xuancheng could even speak, Ren Haotian took the lead and said, “Right, there is another matter concerning Liu Yunzhi. Some say it was my father who killed him, but I must clear my father’s name. Because the person who killed Liu Yunzhi is someone else, I cannot let my father be wrongly accused.” He then called to someone behind him and soon brought out a man who was formerly a follower of Liu Yunzhi, known as Little Qi.

Ren Haotian continued, “This person was an assistant to Liu Yunzhi. On the day Liu Yunzhi was murdered, he was right behind him and saw clearly who killed Liu Yunzhi.”

Pointing to Wan Shajiang, Little Qi said, “It was Wan Shajiang who did it.”

One of Wan Shajiang’s followers, Zhu Sheng, retorted, “You brat, we’re all from Qingxuan City, don’t slander others.”

Little Qi exclaimed, “I’m not slandering anyone! That day, I was right behind Liu Yunzhi, and I saw with my own eyes Wan Shajiang stab Liu Yunzhi to death.”

Zhu Sheng argued, “If you saw it was Wan Shajiang who killed Liu Yunzhi at that time, why didn’t you say something then?”

“Because Wan Shajiang threatened me, told me to say I didn’t see anything, and promised benefits in the future. Liu Yunzhi was already dead, and I didn’t know what to do at the moment, perhaps out of panic, and I agreed.”

Ren Haotian asked, “Then why didn’t Wan Shajiang kill you too, to prevent any risk of the truth coming out?”

Little Qi replied, “I think he definitely wanted to kill me at that time, but after Liu Yunzhi died, all the disciples rushed over, and as the thick smoke dissipated, there was no more cover, and everyone’s eyes were wide open, so he didn’t have the chance to strike. In fact, it proved he wanted me dead. Afterward, I didn’t get the important position he had promised. I felt excluded and worried he would kill me to silence me. Once I identified Ren Xiongbei as Liu Yunzhi’s murderer, he had a reason to eliminate me.

But because of my caution, I avoided that fate. If it wasn’t for his treatment of me, I might have kept it hidden forever. But the guy, having killed Liu Yunzhi and become the Sect Leader, wanted to silence me. If I don’t speak out today, perhaps no one will ever know the truth.”

Wan Shajiang was furious, shouting, “You’re talking nonsense, it’s all a plot by the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Ren Haotian scoffed and said, “Don’t make a scene. If it weren’t for your attempts to throw the blame onto my father and me, I wouldn’t have been so determined to uncover the truth. You forced my hand; I cannot let my father suffer wrongful accusations.”

Longhun again clapped his hands, remarking, “What a great show, one act more exciting than the last.”

Wan Shajiang called out, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s resentful because I didn’t agree to make him the Vice Sect Leader, and it’s pure defamation. This is a conspiracy.”

“Nonsense! I swear, I saw this man kill the former Sect Leader with my own eyes, and he even told me to claim that I saw Ren Xiongbei do it. As soon as the former Sect Leader died, he became the new Sect Leader. That’s his motive for killing Liu Yunzhi,” said Little Qi.

“You bastard!”

Ren Haotian changed the subject, not willing to let Xiong Shuobo off the hook, this man who had been most ferocious in the killing, “Sect Leader Xiong, you claim to have taken revenge for Fang Ziren, but according to my deduction, Fang Ziren died by your hand.”

“You’re spouting nonsense; on what basis do you accuse me?” Xiong Shuobo roared, looking toward Gu Xueyun in the distance.

Ren Haotian said, “You claimed to be avenging Fang Ziren, but in reality, you came for the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. Later, you feared that since Gu Xueyun had found a divine doctor who might cure Fang Ziren, who had deviated from his cultivation, Fang Ziren might become an obstacle to you once he recovered. After all, he was the former Sect Leader, and it wasn’t clear who would be listened to in the future. So your motive is quite apparent.”

Xiong Shuobo, seeing no evidence presented, sneered and said, “You really talk nonsense. But the people of Heavenly City won’t listen to your baseless accusations.”

“This is where it gets strange. Even if Fang Ziren had gone mad, it doesn’t necessarily mean he would jump into a pond to commit suicide. Who has ever heard of a madman drowning themselves? Moreover, he died the day before Gu Xueyun brought back the divine doctor, drowned in your Heavenly City. There are not many who could commit such an act in Heavenly City, and the one with the strongest motive is you. By killing him, you ended all troubles.”

Seeing Ren Haotian without evidence, Xiong Shuobo laughed and said, “You really know how to talk nonsense, but we of Heavenly City surely won’t take your wild accusations seriously.”

“Nonsense, I suspect you as well, along with Gu Xueyun. What a coincidence that you just happen to be here. You’re right, I indeed don’t have evidence that you drowned Fang Ziren, but I do have evidence that you wanted to kill Fang Ziren,” Ren Haotian would never let these guys off the hook easily.

“Evidence that I wanted to kill Fang Ziren?” Xiong Shuobo began to feel scared.

Ren Haotian had someone brought forward and asked, “You certainly know who this guy is, right?”

How could he not know the person who was brought out? It was none other than his subordinate, Wang Qing, who followed him every day. After finding out that Fang Ziren might become normal again, Wang Qing analyzed that if Fang Ziren recovered, his Sect Leader position might be threatened. Even if he managed to keep it, Fang Ziren’s presence would greatly diminish his power. He then plotted to kill Fang Ziren, and so he dispatched Wang Qing to help carry out the murder.

Sometime later, nobody knew what happened, but Wang Qing disappeared.

It turned out he had overestimated Wang Qing’s ability. Even though Fang Ziren had fallen into demonic cultivation, he still retained his strength. When they surrounded Fang Ziren, they failed to succeed.

Xiong Shuobo was astonished; how could Wang Qing be accompanying Ren Haotian? He exclaimed, “Wang Qing, you can’t slander me just because Ren Haotian is coercing you.”

Ren Haotian laughed and said, “Don’t worry, your dog is still quite loyal to you.” He glanced around and continued, “I’m sure everyone is dying to know what happened, so let me tell you. It was a stroke of luck. This guy, leading a group, was planning to kill Fang Ziren in the woods, and I happened to come across them. Of course, I recognized this fellow as he was the one who had followed the current Sect Leader Xiong to seek revenge against us, and he was the most ferocious one.

What puzzled me was why this guy wanted to kill Fang Ziren. Later, with my help, the crazed Fang Ziren managed to escape, but he still couldn’t avoid a tragic fate. After capturing him and a few of his men, I finally learned the whole story. It was actually Xiong Shuobo who was worried about Fang Ziren returning to normal, unsure of what to do. Understandable fears, I suppose. Would you like to hear what they have to say?”

Xiong Shuobo shouted, “They’ve been intimidated by you. To save their own lives, they would say whatever you want. Don’t expect to frame me just like that.”

At that moment, Gu Xueyun didn’t say a single word.

“Hey, believe it or not, that’s up to you. All of you guys are up to no good; not a single one of you is decent. My father and I are innocent, but no matter how we explain it, nobody believes us. This bunch only wants to get their hands on the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, not even giving my father and I a chance to explain. We’ve already told them it was Su Zhanze who did it, yet they still plot against us.”

“We never plotted against you; at most, it was a misunderstanding,” Xiong Shuobo said.

“A misunderstanding? Not a single one of you is worth a damn. You think Demon Palace City is home to the good guys? Bullshit. We begged them to help us, but they didn’t lift a finger,”

Hu Nanyue said, “We truly didn’t receive your message in time.”

Ren Haotian snorted and said, “Who knows! Everyone then thought my father and I were the killers and wanted to keep their distance for fear of getting implicated. I can understand, but it just shows that none of them are worth a damn. In such an Immortal Demon World, to dare accuse me of betrayal. If I hadn’t sought refuge with the Dragon Slaying Clan, I wouldn’t even be alive to clear my father’s name.

At your alliance assembly, Sect Leader Xiong, you’ve already made it clear that Su Zhanze is the culprit. Did any of you ever think of clearing my deceased father’s name?”

“Don’t spout nonsense here; don’t think we don’t know what you’re up to. Your goal is to divide us, to make us crumble, and we won’t fall for your drivel,” Su Zhanze was the one speaking.

Ren Haotian looked at Su Zhanze and said, “You shameless wretch, I confess that the Paper Kite Island incident was indeed for revenge, which I dare to admit. Can you say the same? You should be thanking that monkey. If it weren’t for him, you’d be dead by now. However, not only are you ungrateful, but you also want him dead.”

These words reached Guo Yuqing, who was in the distance.

“Stop spouting nonsense,” Su Zhanze called out.

“Really? Because you knew they were on the Dragon Clan’s ship. Meng Xiuluo asked you for help, yet instead of rescuing them, you blew up his ship. Tell me if I’m wrong.”

Guo Yuqing looked at Su Zhanze.

“However, at that time, they didn’t die. They were just stranded on Slaughter Island, which is enough to show what kind of person you truly are,” Ren Haotian continued.

Su Zhanze shouted, “Alliance Leader, they’re trying to splinter us. Don’t hesitate any longer; let’s have a decisive battle with them. Stop listening to his nonsense. It’s all just blather.”
