Chapter 91

~7 min read 1,290 words

Following Hong Zun’s finger, everyone saw something that didn't even look like a creature, stumbling out of the pile of corpses.

Its entire body was covered in black shoe prints, and its face was deformed. Let alone human powerhouses like Qi Xiong, even the Demon Kings were stunned.

"What the hell is that?"

"Holy sh*t, Black Tiger..."

The Blood Tiger Demon King was the first to recognize it and roared as it rushed over, supporting the Black Tiger Demon King, who was about to fall to the ground, its eyes filled with concern.

"Black Tiger, what happened to you? Are you alright? Answer me!"

It asked anxiously, but the Black Tiger Demon King was dizzy and confused, unable to regain its senses for a while.

Plus, Blood Tiger’s constant roaring beside it only made its head buzz.

"Stop shouting!"

It finally managed to recover, feeling as if its whole body had fallen apart. If it hadn't been a Demon King, it probably wouldn't have woken up.

Looking at Blood Tiger supporting it, Black Tiger felt a wave of gratitude. Truly a good brother.

But then it saw Hong Zun in the sky, and a flash of anger crossed its eyes. It shouted,

"Hong Zun..."

The Black Tiger Demon King naturally couldn't forget what happened before it fainted, but before it could speak, Hong Zun shouted first,

"What a Black Tiger! You intended to harm my Dao One Sect disciples, provoke a war between humans and demons, and destroy the agreement between the two races. What else do you have to say for yourself?"

It had wanted to get back at him, but hearing Hong Zun’s words, Black Tiger was completely bewildered and roared subconsciously,

"I didn't! Don't frame me!"

When the f*ck did I want to kill your Dao One Sect disciples? Hearing this, the other Demon Kings also spoke up one after another.

"Exactly! Just because you say so, it’s true? What evidence do you have?"

"Empty words! This is all one-sided talk from your human race."

"Produce evidence!"

Facing the cold shouts of the Demon Kings, Hong Zun sneered.

"You want evidence? Fine, I’ll give it to you."

Saying this, Hong Zun turned to look at Black Tiger and asked in a deep voice,

"Black Tiger, I ask you, why were you here?"

At this moment, Black Tiger had regained consciousness, but its brain was still foggy. Hearing this, it didn't think much and replied,

"I was originally heading to Flying Eagle Ravine to find Blood Tiger. Who knew I would meet you on the way..."

It explained the situation, thinking it had explained it clearly. But who knew, hearing this, Hong Zun sneered and looked at everyone present.

"Does anyone believe such a clumsy lie? This wouldn't even fool a three-year-old."

"In fact, Black Tiger found out that my Sword Peak disciples would be heading to the coastal camp for a shift change today, so it deliberately blocked the path, intending to intercept and kill my Sword Peak disciples."

"The purpose is self-evident: it wanted to provoke a war between the two races."

"Just imagine, if I hadn't followed today, my Sword Peak disciples would surely have been slaughtered, and a war between the two races would have inevitably broken out."

"Therefore, Black Tiger’s actions were malicious, sowing discord."

"It is not only an enemy of our human race but also a traitor to your demon race, surely hiding unspeakable secrets. I suggest handing it over to my Dao One Sect for strict interrogation."

After he finished speaking, Black Tiger was stunned. When the f*ck did I want to provoke a war between humans and demons?

And, you can say what you want about the human race, but when did I want to betray the demon race?

Looking at Hong Zun with fury, Black Tiger screamed in anger,

"He’s lying! He’s slandering me! He’s slandering me... *cough cough*..."

Because of the excitement, it pulled on its wounds and spat out more blood.

Facing Black Tiger’s anger, Hong Zun drank his wine unhurriedly and said calmly,

"Look, it’s anxious. This is the reaction of someone whose truth has been exposed by me. Black Tiger’s wolfish ambition is now clear to all. It has betrayed your demon race. Are you still going to be foolishly kept in the dark by it?"

The calmer Hong Zun was, the angrier Black Tiger became. Even Blood Tiger couldn't help but say,

"Hong Zun, stop sowing discord here."

"Sowing discord? Heh, then let me ask you, why would this Black Tiger appear on the path my Sword Peak disciples were bound to take?"

"Didn't it just say it was a coincidence?"

"A coincidence? Then in that case, if I go for a stroll around your Tiger Ridge tomorrow, is that also a coincidence?"

"This..."

Blood Tiger was speechless. Hong Zun continued,

"There are no such coincidences in this world. I tell you, Black Tiger appeared there with a clear purpose, and its target was my Sword Peak disciples."

"This was not a coincidence at all, but a premeditated, planned operation."

"It was Black Tiger openly violating the agreement between the two races."

Hearing more and more, Blood Tiger hurriedly retorted,

"If that were true, why would Black Tiger call for my help?"

Hearing this, Hong Zun looked at the Blood Tiger Demon King as if it were an idiot and said,

"I wouldn't believe you if you said your brain was fine. I already said it: if it weren't for me, Black Tiger would have succeeded. It didn't expect me to appear, which caused its plan to fail, and it couldn't defeat me, which is why it called for help."

"The matter is very clear, and I have given you the evidence you wanted. So, this matter should be for your demon race to give us an explanation."

Saying this, Hong Zun turned and roared at the Demon Kings.

After this performance, Qi Xiong, Bai Hua, and the powerhouses of the major sects all had strange looks in their eyes.

Only Shi Song had a look of wisdom that saw through everything, feeling as if everyone was drunk while he alone was sober.

Isn't this the same situation as the last time with the Luoxia Sect?

But last time it was Hong Zun’s disciple Xu Jie who spoke, and now the master has stepped in personally.

I previously thought, how does Xu Jie have such a way with words, and every point is reasonable, leaving people with no way to refute?

Now it seems the source has been found. Truly, like master, like disciple. And compared to Xu Jie, Hong Zun is clearly more sharp and seasoned.

Your master is still your master after all.

The Demon Kings were left speechless by Hong Zun, and Black Tiger was so angry it spat out mouthfuls of blood. Seeing this, Hong Zun didn't forget to add,

"Look, I was right, wasn't I? Black Tiger is speechless and spitting blood out of shame. This is the best evidence."

???

"I’m f*cking spitting blood because I’m injured! Shame your mother!"

The other Demon Kings also had black lines on their foreheads, but they clearly wouldn't give in just like that. A Demon King immediately spoke up,

"Hong Zun, stop making unreasonable trouble. This is still your one-sided talk. If you have the ability, produce substantial evidence."

They were dead set on evidence, but just as the words fell, shouts from many Sword Peak disciples came from below.

"I can testify!"

"That’s right, the Peak Master is right. It was the Black Tiger Demon King, it was him!"

The disciples spoke one after another, filled with righteous indignation, all pointing their fingers at the Black Tiger Demon King.
