Panicked!
Utterly panicked!
"Wang Jiujiu" was completely flustered, like a cornered dog!
The deaths of the "Eight Great Fierce Generals" had plunged "Wang Jiujiu" into an extremely passive position.
Now, almost everyone was convinced that he had dispatched the "Eight Great Fierce Generals" to murder the "Eastern Eighth Quasi-Saint Son"!
An emissary from the "Great New Dynasty" sending people to murder a quasi-saint son of the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" was no longer a simple "personal vendetta." It had escalated into a conflict between the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" and the "Great New Dynasty."
If mishandled, this could lead to a full-scale war between the two major powers!
Such consequences were absolutely unbearable for "Wang Jiujiu"!
What to do, what to do, what to do?
At this critical juncture, "Wang Jiujiu" steeled his heart and decided to "deny everything."
"I didn't, I'm not... I never thought of murdering the Eastern Eighth Quasi-Saint Son. I can swear to the heavens, if there's even half a falsehood, may lightning strike me!"
"Wang Jiujiu" swore an oath.
Whether it was the heavens being too accommodating or not, a dry thunderclap suddenly boomed from the clear sky.
The lightning ripped through the heavens. Although it didn't actually strike "Wang Jiujiu," it startled him greatly.
Seeing this, everyone became even more convinced that "Wang Jiujiu" was lying. He must have dispatched the "Eight Great Fierce Generals" to ambush and murder the "Eastern Eighth Quasi-Saint Son"!
"Wang Jiujiu, what do you have to say for yourself now? Even the heavens can't stand it and want to strike you down with lightning!"
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
The eyes of the assembled "Three Immortals Sword Sect cultivators" towards "Wang Jiujiu" became more and more unfriendly.
"Wang Jiujiu" gritted his teeth and continued to deny it.
"The thunder just now proves my innocence! If the heavens truly wanted to punish me, that bolt of lightning should have struck me! Since it didn't strike me, it means I am innocent!"
This line of "twisted logic" clearly failed to convince anyone.
"Wang Jiujiu, you think you can fool us with such words? Do you take us for fools?"
The gazes of the "Three Immortals Sword Sect" were filled with killing intent. They were on the verge of erupting into a fierce assault against "Wang Jiujiu."
War was imminent!
"Wang Jiujiu" was sweating profusely, his clothes nearly drenched.
At this point, he had no other good options. He could only try to muddy the waters and drag the "Dragon Knight Merchant Guild" down with him.
"Everyone, calm down, don't be fooled. This is all a conspiracy by the Dragon Knight Merchant Guild. Have you forgotten? The Dragon Knight Merchant Guild is the most loyal dog of the Neon, and all of Neon's schemes involve the Dragon Knight Merchant Guild. The three Mirage Pearls have records of this!"
As soon as he said this, everyone frowned.
It was true!
According to the records in the three "Mirage Pearls," the "Dragon Knight Merchant Guild" had been involved in all the schemes of the "Neon Quasi-Saint Son"... Could the killing of the "Eight Great Fierce Generals" also be part of a conspiracy?
For a moment, everyone's attention shifted to Qian Duoduo and his group, significantly reducing the pressure on "Wang Jiujiu."
However, before "Wang Jiujiu" could even catch his breath, a sudden turn of events occurred.
The sect master of "Yingzhou Sword Sect," True Lord Tian Zhao, stepped forward.
His gaze was sharp, fixed on the three "Mirage Pearls."
"There's something wrong with the footage recorded by these Mirage Pearls!"
When it came to understanding and using "Mirage Pearls," the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" was professional, and True Lord Tian Zhao was a professional among professionals.
From the very beginning, he had noticed anomalies in the footage recorded by the three "Mirage Pearls." Now, the problem seemed to be growing larger...
As he spoke, "True Lord Tian Zhao" waved his hand and unleashed a spiritual incantation.
The incantation landed on the three "Mirage Pearls." The images broadcast by the "Mirage Pearls" flickered and then miraculously changed.
Qian Duoduo disappeared from the screen, replaced by "Wang Jiujiu"!
Everyone watched, shocked and enraged!
Damn it!
So, it wasn't Qian Duoduo who was involved in the "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" conspiracy all along, but "Wang Jiujiu"!
All eyes turned back to "Wang Jiujiu" once more, this time with even greater ferocity and anger.
Come on, how do you explain this?
It's over, it's over, I'm doomed!
"Wang Jiujiu" had no explanation whatsoever!
He couldn't explain it at all!
Because the footage recorded in the three "Mirage Pearls" was all true. He, "Wang Jiujiu," had indeed been involved in the "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" conspiracy from start to finish.
Not only had he participated, but he had also "offered suggestions and advice," providing the "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" with many "vile ideas"!
Now that the "truth was out," "Wang Jiujiu" had no defense.
"Wang Jiujiu" was in a state of utter panic. He looked towards Fairy Wu Kong opposite him for help.
He conveyed his plea frantically with his eyes.
"Fairy, save me!"
At the same time, "Wang Jiujiu's" eyes also held a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction.
"Fairy, what are you doing? Didn't you say your PS technique was absolutely reliable and safe? How was it exposed now?"
In "Wang Jiujiu's" mind, he and "Fairy Wu Kong" were in the same boat. A large part of his actions had been at the instigation of "Fairy Wu Kong."
If he were to fall into misfortune, "Fairy Wu Kong" would surely not fare any better.
Therefore, "Fairy Wu Kong" absolutely would not stand by and watch. She would save him at all costs!
As it turned out, the naive "Wang Jiujiu" had once again assumed too much.
"Fairy Wu Kong" completely ignored "Wang Jiujiu's" pleading gaze.
Who are you? Do I know you?
Damn it!
"Wang Jiujiu" was about to explode with anger.
Woman, you can't just discard me after using me! Bah, this matter hasn't even succeeded yet, so it's not "discarding me after using me." In any case, you can't abandon me!
"Wang Jiujiu" gritted his teeth, preparing to drag "Fairy Wu Kong" down with him.
There was no way he was going to shoulder this mess alone!
Just as "Wang Jiujiu" was about to speak, a sharp glint flashed in "Fairy Wu Kong's" beautiful eyes, and she spoke first.
"Sect Master, esteemed elders, this Wang Jiujiu has harassed me several times, even suggesting we join forces to eliminate Neon and the Eastern Eighth and have him take their place to control the Yingzhou Sword Sect. I rejected him every time. To be safe, I specifically used a Mirage Pearl to record his hideous face!"
Saying this, "Fairy Wu Kong" produced a "Mirage Pearl."
She unleashed a spiritual incantation, directly activating the "Mirage Pearl." A flood of images was broadcast, all related to "Wang Jiujiu."
"Hehehehe, this time the Eastern Eighth is finished, Neon will be finished, and the Dragon Knight Merchant Guild will also be finished. I will be the final winner! Wu Kong, when the time comes, I will become the Saint Son of the Yingzhou Sword Sect, and you will be the Saintess. Together, we will control the Yingzhou Sword Sect!"
"Hahahaha, after I control the Yingzhou Sword Sect, I will request my father to dispatch a large number of imperial experts to completely control Three Immortals Island!"
