Chapter 273: Mo Tianheng, the Embarrassing Spectacle

Zi Xuan True Person's voice was cutting and decisive, and everyone was stunned.

Jiang Feng's complexion changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect Zi Xuan to speak falsehood with her eyes open, plainly trying to shield Mo Tianheng's brothers.

But after only a moment of stunned silence, he understood the reason.

Earlier, in the Wu Zun Inheritance site, he had to remove Zi Xuan's clothing to heal her injuries in order to save someone.

Zi Xuan is proud and very concerned with face; such a thing is a tremendous humiliation for her, and even death would not make her willing to admit it publicly.

Moreover, Elder Zi Xuan of the Qingxiao Sect has attained Grandmaster Eighth Rank.

And the Mo Family brothers at most reach Grandmaster Sixth Rank.

An Eighth Rank Elder being successfully ambushed by two Sixth Rank Cultivators would be a massive disgrace if spread.

Naturally, she refused to admit she fell into the Mo Family brothers' hands, and she also refused to mention the episode where Jiang Feng healed her, so she chose to conceal the truth and help Mo Tianheng cover up.

Having figured this out, Jiang Feng was left with only a Cold Smile.

This woman truly has no brain; for the sake of so‑called face, she is even willing to let the real culprit who almost killed her go free, even at the cost of falsely incriminating herself.

On the other side, Mo Tianheng heard Zi Xuan's words and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

He sprang up from the Ground, brushed dust from his body, could not even wipe the blood from his forehead, and said smugly.

"Did you hear that! Elder Zi Xuan said she has never encountered our brothers! Jiang Feng, why don't you admit you committed murder?"

He still doesn't know why Zi Xuan would help him, but regardless, Zi Xuan's words are the best evidence, directly clearing him of the suspicion of scheming against fellow cultivators, and instead pointing all blame at Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, you killed my elder brother out of greed! The evidence is now conclusive; what more can you say?"

Ye Jinghong's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

He originally intended to protect Jiang Feng, but now Zi Xuan publicly denies being attacked by the Mo Family brothers, effectively cutting off Jiang Feng's retreat.

If Jiang Feng really killed Mo Tianbao, even if he wanted to protect him, he couldn't sway the crowd and would have to give the Mo Family an explanation.

Just as Ye Jinghong was extremely troubled, a steady voice suddenly rang out.

"Ye Tianren, please listen to me for a moment!"

The crowd looked toward the voice and saw Miao Linfeng step forward.

She bowed her hands to Ye Jinghong and began to speak slowly.

"Although Mr. Jiang indeed killed Mo Tianbao, both sides now each hold their own version, and no one has concrete evidence of who ambushed whom first."

She paused briefly, then shifted her tone.

"But there is one thing everyone knows: Mr. Jiang, within the Wu Zun Inheritance site, truly killed the Tiancan Daoist! He preserved the Wu Zun Inheritance, prevented it from falling into the hands of evil cultivators, and even saved us all! On that basis, Yitian Pavilion believes in Mr. Jiang's character; he could never have killed Mo Tianbao without cause!"

Miao Linfeng's words made everyone present nod in agreement.

"I also believe Jiang Feng!"

Lin Qinghan stepped forward, his gaze serious.

As a Qingxiao Sect Saintess, I believe Jiang Feng is certainly not the type who, out of greed, indiscriminately kills the innocent!

"Qinghan!"

Zi Xuan did not expect her own disciple‑nephew to stand on Jiang Feng's side, and she opened her mouth with sudden anger.

And Lin Qinghan turned his gaze toward Zi Xuan True Person, his eyes carrying a hint of interrogation.

In her view, Jiang Feng would never lie; the liar… could only be her own master‑uncle!

Zi Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable under Lin Qinghan's stare, subconsciously averted her gaze, pretending not to see his eyes.

"And me!"

Long Bad Dao strode out, patting his chest.

"I don't know the temperament of the Mo Family, but my brother Jiang Feng is definitely not a petty man who acts out of greed! I, as the Young Master of the Long Family, guarantee that Jiang Feng did nothing wrong!"

"We also believe Mr. Jiang!"

The Long Family Grand Elder, accompanied by several Long Family youths, stepped forward and bowed their hands to Ye Jinghong.

"We, the Long Family, are willing to believe Mr. Jiang!"

Immediately after, Qin Kuo Dong also stepped forward.

"Ye Tianren, I still insist on my view: it must have been the Mo Family brothers who first ambushed Mr. Jiang! Mo Tianheng is lying! The Qin Family also believes Mr. Jiang!"

Mo Tianheng watched this scene, his face turning green, trembling with anger.

"Fine, fine, fine!" Mo Tianheng pointed at the crowd, shouting furiously.

"You all are just trying to please Jiang Feng, aren't you? It's because he possesses the Wu Zun Inheritance and his future is boundless, right? You bunch of opportunistic petty men! You have no sense of justice!"

Ye Jinghong was already impatient, and Mo Tianheng's outburst made his expression even colder.

He let out a cold snort.

"Mo Tianheng, stop causing trouble here! I ask you, if you can produce evidence that Jiang Feng acted out of greed and deliberately killed Mo Tianbao, I, Ye Jinghong, would even risk offending the Wu Zun Inheritance today, and would certainly give your Mo Family an answer!"

"But do you have evidence?"

Ye Jinghong stepped forward, his Heavenly Human Realm aura subtly released, and a powerful pressure enveloped Mo Tianheng.

Mo Tianheng's legs went weak from Ye Jinghong's pressure, and his complexion turned pale instantly.

Where does he have any evidence?

Facing Ye Jinghong's overwhelming aura, Mo Tianheng was completely cowed, retreating several steps and daring not to meet Ye Jinghong's gaze.

Yet he remained resentful, gritting his teeth, glaring viciously at Jiang Feng.

"Since that's the case, I will report this to the Mo Family Ancestral Elder! Jiang Feng, you wait for me; my Mo Family will not let this go!"

Having said that, Mo Tianheng dared not linger, turned, and fled down the Mountain, looking dejected.

The crowd, seeing Mo Tianheng's embarrassed back, all showed contemptuous expressions.

And Zi Xuan True Person watched Mo Tianheng's back, her gaze slightly cold, a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.

She helped Mo Tianheng only to save her own face, and it does not mean she has forgotten the hatred the Mo Family brothers harbored against her!

Ye Jinghong looked toward the direction where Mo Tianheng vanished and let out a cold snort.

He turned his head toward Jiang Feng, and his expression eased considerably.

"Little madman, I'm sorry you were wronged. Mo Tianheng is just a petty man; don't measure yourself against him. With us here, the Mo Family wouldn't dare trouble you lightly."

"Thank you, Uncle Ye."

Jiang Feng, however, didn't mind and made a small bow to Ye Jinghong.

He had never taken Mo Tianheng's threat seriously; even if the Mo Family had the name Mo Fusheng, they still might not be able to deal with him.

Liu Tianzhou stepped forward and patted Jiang Feng's Shoulders.

"Junior Brother, well done! No matter what happens, Senior Brother will support you. If the Mo Family truly dares to cause trouble, our Lingnan Sword Sect will never stand by idly."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Jiang Feng smiled, and a faint warmth rose in his heart.

Qin Kuo Hai also stepped forward and said flattering words.

"Mr. Jiang, if you ever need anything in the future, just speak up; the Qin Family will definitely give our all!"

Jiang Feng bowed his hands one by one to the crowd.

"Thank you all for your trust and support; Jiang Feng is deeply grateful."

Just as the crowd's laughter and chatter filled the air, an immensely powerful aura suddenly surged from afar, pressing in like Mount Tai bearing down, enveloping the entire sheer Cliff.

Everyone couldn't help but look up, and when Jiang Feng finally saw the newcomer, his smile turned completely cold.

How dare these old bitches actually show up?
