"The incident occurred on Yuqing Mountain, and Yuqing Mountain will definitely provide an explanation!"
The Heavenly God of Enforcement cupped his fists, his expression somewhat grim. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen.
If something happened on Yuqing Mountain, he, the Heavenly God of Enforcement, bore significant responsibility.
"What use is it to investigate clearly? It must be the disciples of your Yuqing Mountain!" Bei Mo said coldly, "You must give us an explanation!"
"You can't say that. Who knows if it was you who administered the poison!" Qi Tiancheng said coldly, "If you want to frame Yuqing Mountain, and if that's truly the case, even before the Divine Clan, we will argue our case!"
"Good for you, Qi Tiancheng, to dare say such words! You're truly a thief crying 'stop thief'!" Bei Mo cursed, "He is a disciple of Yuqing Mountain. We would never harm him!"
"Who can say for sure!" Qi Tiancheng's voice was indifferent but carried a certain aura, as if everything was not as simple as it seemed in his eyes.
"Heavenly God of Enforcement, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" The Nine-Foot Heavenly God frowned. This matter concerned the reputation of Qingyun Mountain, and as a Heavenly God of Qingyun Mountain, he naturally would not stand by and do nothing.
"Nine-Foot Heavenly God, rest assured, I must investigate this matter clearly!" The Heavenly God of Enforcement nodded solemnly. "However, I ask for some time. My Yuqing Mountain would never rashly administer poison. There must be some misunderstanding involved!"
"What a joke! The person died right on your Yuqing Mountain, and the Heavenly God of Enforcement says such things. Are you trying to shirk responsibility!" Bei Mo said coldly, "If this matter reaches the ears of the Divine Clan, you will also be held accountable. At that time, our Qingyun Mountain will never let Yuqing Mountain off easily!"
"You don't really think our Yuqing Mountain fears your Qingyun Mountain?" Qi Tiancheng was not polite and carried a cold demeanor. Bei Mo's words were too arrogant, completely disregarding the Heavenly God of Enforcement. How could he not be angered?
"If that's the case, then there's no need to investigate. Let's just go to war!" Bei Mo's words were somewhat extreme and filled with anger. Today, he had lost face on Yuqing Mountain, and now that he had a chance to regain it, how could he easily let it go?
The Heavenly God of Enforcement did not say much more. He approached the Great Peng and observed it carefully for a moment. Only then did he discover that the Great Peng had indeed died from poisoning.
"It's actually the Poison of the Other Shore!" His eyes were filled with gravity, and the Heavenly God of Enforcement frowned deeper. Under normal circumstances, the Other Shore Flower only existed in the Northern Abyss, meaning this Poison of the Other Shore should belong to the Northern Abyss. In the Divine Realm, the poison of the Other Shore Flower was extremely potent, especially for the Divine Clan, causing fatal harm. The disciples of Qingyun Mountain were merely in the Entering Divinity realm, and they were simply unable to withstand the poison of the Other Shore Flower.
"How could this be!" The Nine-Foot Heavenly God frowned. "Could it be that on your Yuqing Mountain, someone has a connection with the Northern Abyss? Otherwise, how could there be the Poison of the Other Shore!" Many Heavenly Gods frowned, taking this matter even more seriously. After all, the poison of the Other Shore Flower was not merely about the death of one disciple, but it concerned the entire situation. If spies from the Northern Abyss had truly infiltrated the Divine Clan's territory, it would not be a good thing for the entire Divine Clan.
"Isn't Junior Brother Lu on good terms with Tianlong?" A disciple from Yuqing Mountain spoke up, looking even more puzzled. "Tianlong went to the Northern Abyss, could it be..."
"Don't you spout nonsense!" Shen Canghai cast a glance, frowning at the same time. He did not wish for anything to happen to Lu Fan, especially at such a critical juncture. Furthermore, in his opinion, it could not be Lu Fan's doing, as there was no basis for it.
"So, in your Yuqing Mountain, there are people from the Northern Abyss!" Bei Mo's eyes turned sharp, and he said coldly, "No matter how you explain this, you probably can't explain it away!"
"Northern Abyss spies!" The Nine-Foot Heavenly God also became cold. If that were indeed the case, he would have to seek justice for this matter.
"Absolutely impossible!" The Heavenly God of Enforcement spoke earnestly, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I ask the fellow Daoists of Qingyun Mountain to return first. Once the matter is investigated clearly, I will definitely provide an explanation."
"We can return, but he must be held as a hostage by our Qingyun Mountain!" The Yunshui Heavenly God looked at Lu Fan. "We just heard clearly that this person is colluding with the Northern Abyss. If we return so easily, I'm afraid your Yuqing Mountain will fabricate facts!"
"What a joke! If I were truly a spy of the Northern Abyss, why would I poison the disciples of Qingyun Mountain?" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "Is his status more important than mine? Or are the Heavenly Gods of Qingyun Mountain worthless?"
"What do you mean by that!" Bei Mo's eyes instantly became sharp, and he said coldly, "Are you implying something about my Heavenly God? Or are you intentionally making an enemy of Qingyun Mountain!"
"Say whatever you want. Things have reached this point, and it's probably not that simple!" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "So, the people from Qingyun Mountain don't need to rush off. I suspect this matter is related to the people of Qingyun Mountain!"
Facing these words, the disciples of Qingyun Mountain were even more enraged. Lu Fan's words were a blatant suspicion, making it unacceptable to them.
"I truly didn't expect you to say such things!" The Nine-Foot Heavenly God said coldly. "I really didn't expect a disciple from Yuqing Mountain to be so arrogant!"
"A junior lacks propriety. Nine-Foot Heavenly God, please don't take it to heart!" The Heavenly God of Enforcement quickly appeased him. A disciple of Qingyun Mountain dying in Yuqing Mountain was a matter of great importance, and even he dared not be too rash, lest it cause a conflict between the two major mountain sects, which might also incur the blame of the Divine Clan.
"I've already said it: if you want to investigate this matter, let him be held as a hostage first!" The Yunshui Heavenly God's voice was cold. "Otherwise, our Qingyun Mountain will never give up, and we will definitely pursue this matter to the end!"
"This..." The Heavenly Gods of Yuqing Mountain frowned. They also understood that this matter was no small matter, but they were unwilling to let Lu Fan be held as a hostage.
"What, it seems you are unwilling?" The Yunshui Heavenly God sneered. "If that's the case, then I will report this matter to the Divine Lord and let the Divine Lord decide!"
"Yunshui Heavenly God, why be so aggressive!" The Heavenly God of Enforcement frowned. "I will provide an explanation for this matter, but it needs to be investigated one by one. You are so impatient, could it be that there is some hidden truth within?"
"The Heavenly God of Enforcement is good at shifting the blame!" The Yunshui Heavenly God sneered. "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I will report this matter to the Divine Lord as soon as possible and have him preside over justice!"
After speaking, the Yunshui Heavenly God turned and left in a huff. The disciples of Qingyun Mountain also followed closely behind, appearing equally enraged. After all, a disciple of Qingyun Mountain dying inexplicably on Yuqing Mountain naturally led to suspicion.
