Chapter 91

~7 min read 1,337 words

Following Hong Zun's finger, everyone saw only something that looked like nothing at all, wobbling as it walked out of the pile of corpses.

His whole body was covered in dark shoe prints, his face deformed; not to mention Qi Xiong and the other human experts, even all the Demon Kings present were stunned.

"What the hell is this?"

"Holy shit, Black Tiger..........."

It was the Xuehu Yaowang who first recognized him, roaring as he rushed over and grabbed the Heihu Yaowang about to fall to the ground, his eyes full of concern.

"Black Tiger, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Answer me."

He asked anxiously, while the Heihu Yaowang felt dizzy and confused, unable to regain his senses for a moment.

Moreover, the Xuehu Yaowang kept shouting loudly beside him, making his head buzz even more.

"Don't shout."

After great effort he finally came to, feeling as if his whole body were falling apart; if he weren't a Demon King, he probably wouldn't have woken up at all.

Seeing the Xuehu Yaowang supporting him beside him, the Heihu Yaowang's eyes showed a hint of gratitude—truly a good brother.

But then he saw Hong Zun above in the sky, his eyes flashing with anger as he shouted loudly.

"Hong Zun..........."

Naturally the Heihu Yaowang could not forget what had happened before he passed out, but before he could speak, Hong Zun angrily shouted first.

"What a fine Black Tiger, you intend to harm my Dao Yi Sect disciples, provoke a war between humans and demons, break the interracial agreement—what do you have to say for yourself?"

He had wanted to regain face, but hearing Hong Zun's words, the Heihu Yaowang was dumbfounded and instinctively roared.

"I didn't do it; don't frame me."

"Damn it, when did I ever want to kill your Dao Yi Sect disciples?" Upon hearing this, the other Demon Kings also spoke up.

"Not bad, you say it is, so what's the evidence?"

"Empty words, this is just your human side of the story."

"Produce the evidence."

Facing the cold shouts of the Demon Kings, Hong Zun gave a cold smile.

"Want evidence? Fine, I'll give it to you."

Saying this, Hong Zun turned his head to look at the Heihu Yaowang and asked in a deep voice.

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

At this moment the Heihu Yaowang had regained consciousness, though his mind was still foggy; hearing this, he replied without thinking.

"I was originally heading to Feiying Jian to look for Xuehu, but who knew I'd run into you halfway..."

After he finished explaining, he thought he had made it clear, but who knew that hearing this, Hong Zun gave a cold laugh and looked at those present, saying.

"Such a crude lie—do you all believe it? This is a lie that even a three‑year‑old wouldn't believe."

"In fact, the Heihu Yaowang had learned that my Divine Sword Peak disciples would be going to Jinhai Yingdi for a rotation today, so he deliberately blocked the halfway point, intending to assassinate my Divine Sword Peak disciples."

"His purpose is obvious: to provoke a war between the two races."

"Just imagine, if I hadn't been following today, my Divine Sword Peak's many disciples would surely have been slaughtered to the last, and then a war between the races would inevitably break out."

"Therefore, the Heihu Yaowang's actions conceal malicious intent, sowing discord."

"He is not only an enemy of our human race, but also a traitor within your demon race, surely hiding some shameful secret; I suggest handing him over to my Dao Yi Sect for my Dao Yi Sect to interrogate him severely."

After saying all that, the Heihu Yaowang was stunned, thinking, "Damn, when did I ever want to start a war between humans and demons?"

Besides, you say it's about your human side, but when did I ever want to betray the demon race?

Glaring angrily at Hong Zun, the Heihu Yaowang shouted in rage.

"He's talking nonsense, he's slandering me, he's slandering me.............. cough cough.........."

Because of his agitation, he even pulled at his wound and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Facing the Heihu Yaowang's anger, Hong Zun unhurriedly took a sip of wine and said calmly.

"Look, he's flustered—this is the reaction to my having hit the truth; the Heihu Yaowang's wolfish ambition is now obvious, he has already betrayed your demon race—do you still want to be foolishly kept in the dark by him?"

The calmer Hong Zun became, the more furious the Heihu Yaowang grew, to the point that even the Xuehu Yaowang couldn't help but speak.

"Hong Zun, stop sowing discord here."

"Sowing discord? Hah, then I ask you, how did this Black Tiger just happen to appear on the essential route of my Divine Sword Peak disciples?"

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

"A coincidence? If that's the case, then tomorrow when I go strolling around your Huling, that would also be a coincidence?"

"This............."

The Xuehu Yaowang had nothing to say in response, and Hong Zun continued.

"How could there be so many coincidences in this world? I tell you, the Heihu Yaowang's appearance there was entirely purposeful, targeting my Divine Sword Peak disciples."

"This is absolutely not a coincidence, but a premeditated, planned operation."

"It is the Heihu Yaowang openly breaking the interracial agreement."

The more he listened, the more wrong it sounded, and the Xuehu Yaowang hurriedly retorted.

"If that were really the case, why would the Heihu Yaowang come to me for help?"

Hearing this, Hong Zun looked at the Xuehu Yaowang with a blank, foolish expression and said.

"Saying you have a brain problem, you still don't believe me, but I already said just now that if it weren't for me, the Heihu Yaowang would have succeeded; he didn't expect me to show up, causing his plan to fall short, and being no match for me, that's why he came begging for help."

"The matter is already clear; I've given you the evidence you wanted, so this affair ought to be settled by your demon race giving us an explanation."

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

After all this, beside him Qi Xiong, Baihua, and the strong ones of the various sects all had a strange look flash in their eyes.

Only Shi Song's eyes showed a hint of penetrating wisdom, giving him the feeling that while everyone else was drunk, he alone remained sober.

"Damn, isn't this just like what happened last time with the Luo Xia Sect?"

However, last time it was Hong Zun's disciple Xu Jie who spoke; now it's his master personally stepping into the fray.

Earlier I already felt that Xu Jie's speech was so methodical, and every sentence made sense, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Now it seems the source has been found; indeed, like master, like disciple. Compared to Xu Jie, Hong Zun is clearly sharper and more seasoned.

After all, your master is still your master.

The demon kings were left speechless by Hong Zun's words, and Heihu Yaowang was so angry he spat out a mouthful of blood; seeing this, Hong Zun didn't forget to add another line.

"Look, I'm not wrong, right? Heihu Yaowang is already speechless, spitting blood out of shame—this is the best evidence."

????

"Damn it, I'm spitting blood from injury, out of shame, damn it!"

The other Demon Kings also had a black line, but they obviously wouldn't just admit defeat like that; immediately a Demon King spoke up.

"Hong Zun, stop meddling unreasonably; this is still just your one-sided statement. If you have the ability, produce substantive evidence."

Clinging to the demand for evidence, just as his words fell, shouts from many Divine Sword Peak disciples came from below.

"I'll prove it."

"That's right, the Peak Master is correct; it's the Heihu Yaowang, him."

The disciples, each filled with righteous indignation, spoke, their accusations all pointing at Heihu Yaowang.
