Chapter 1101

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "I followed Gong Sun Yao into the Heavenly Crystal War Star; he held the internal structure diagram of the Heavenly Crystal War Star, knowing its ingress and egress passages like the back of his hand… He said, he said…"

This person is eloquent; in just a few words, he made Gong Sun Yao's performance on the Heavenly Crystal War Star crystal clear.

For a moment, the countless soldiers of the human populace gathered here all shuddered.

Gong Sun Yao's performance was also overly perfect, from the moment Wa Island was invaded, his performance was link after link, tight as a drum, extremely strict; every step was that meticulous, that perfect.

The only shortcoming was that he failed to truly capture the Heavenly Crystal War Star.

If he had truly smoothly completed the final step, seized the Heavenly Crystal War Star, and, according to the pact revealed by Crystal Nine, taken control of the entire Heavenly Crystal War Star… then Gong Sun Yao would now have the qualifications to stand before all the high-ranking humans and command them to lift him onto the human emperor's throne.

Link after link, the design is now so meticulous, so perfect.

Precisely because it is too perfect… it seems false.

There's definitely something fishy going on here.

Sorting out what happened after Wa Island was invaded, the truth seems right before our eyes—who benefited the most? Only Gong Sun Yao!

And who could, behind the scenes, have orchestrated this whole affair so perfectly—only Gong Sun Yao's mother, Wa Qing er!

Besides her, who could collude with the demons to invade Wa Island?

Besides her, who could scheme against the senior matriarchs, leaving them dead without any power to resist?

Besides her, who could tamper in the Ancestral Spirit Space, causing so many Wa Island matriarchs who wanted to communicate with the Ancestral Spirit Space to borrow strength against the demons to end up dead and wounded in disarray?

Besides her, who could know of the existence of the Hidden Dragon Army, and moreover just happen to have gathered the Wa Imperial Order, enabling Gong Sun Yao to issue commands to the Hidden Dragon Army?

If it weren't for these young talents of the Hidden Dragon Army still having brains, not being blindly obedient fools, once the Hidden Dragon Army joined forces with these exalted experts of the Gong Sun clan, the entirety of the human populace combined would absolutely not be a match for them.

Moreover, once Gong Sun Yao's battle plan succeeds and he grasps the Heavenly Crystal War Star in his hand, it will be truly unstoppable, and no one will be able to oppose his will any further.

Who among those capable of becoming the high-ranking leaders of the human populace, the heads of the great clans, the elders of the great tribes, could be a fool?

Even if Wu Tie had not produced concrete evidence, the information revealed before our eyes is enough for the human populace's high-ranking officials to reach a 'free conviction,' nearly wholeheartedly believing—Qing Ning is Wa Qing, the Gong Sun Yao family harbors nefarious intentions!

A white-haired old man, the current chief of the Youxiong tribe, clapped heavily and exclaimed: "Good, good, good, Gong Sun Yao, you young brat, how dare you harbor such malicious intent? What do you and your family intend? What exactly does the Gong Sun clan plan to do?"

Gong Sun Yao gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Gong Sun Jun was away pursuing Qing Ning's whereabouts, not by his side.

Gong Sun Yao, after all, is young; who would have thought he would end up in such a sorry predicament?

Wu Tie had practically laid concrete evidence before everyone; how could he refute it? But no matter how he refuted, the azure-colored figure in the light-shadow images released by Crystal Nine, with its gestures, movements, and speech traits, was clearly his mother Wa Qing.

Although their appearances differ, the Qing Ning in the light-shadow images looks more alluring and eerie, yet… anyone who knows her will recognize it—this is Wa Qing, she hasn't gotten away!

Behind Gong Sun Yao, more than sixty percent of the Gong Sun clan's elders and warrior leaders silently withdrew backward.

They bowed deeply to the chief of the Youxiong tribe, then formed ranks and entered the Youxiong clan's battle formation.

They are direct descendants of the Gong Sun clan, but they are not die-hard loyalists of the Gong Sun Jun household; their bloodline stems from the Youxiong clan, making them part of the human populace… they would not bury alongside a scheming, suspected troublemaker who harbors ambitions to chaos the human populace.

"Wu Tie, what crime could there be to add to me… you are slandering, slandering… you brought the extraterrestrial demons here just to frame me!" Gong Sun Yao screamed hoarsely: "You want to vie for the human emperor's throne… you, you, you… shameless, vile, base!"

"You say I wanted to control the Demonic War Star, so why did you end up getting it?" Gong Sun Yao's mind was in utter chaos; he could only cling stubbornly and resist to the end.

Otherwise… he could not even imagine the consequences.

He heard the rustle of those Gong Sun clan elders and warriors leaving; over the years, Gong Sun Jun had painstakingly rallied sixty percent of the clan's fighting strength, and they just 'shamelessly' abandoned him.

Gong Sun Yao really wanted to point at those elders' faces and curse them out—do you still have any shame? You relied on my family's power to get the chance to become exalted masters; you've taken everything and, after pulling up your pants, you don't even acknowledge people anymore.

Wu Tie burst out laughing: "Human emperor's throne? I, Wu Tie… I swear to heaven, I never once thought of becoming a human emperor."

Shaking his head, Wu Tie coldly snorted: "Don't even mention the human emperor; I never even thought of being the lord of Wuguo… if someone could take over, someone who could let me leave with peace of mind, I'd rather bring my beloved and family to find a lovely place with clear waters and green mountains to live peacefully."

"The constant fighting, I'm weary of it." Wu Tie said earnestly: "Having slain so many extraterrestrial demons, so many monsters and ghouls—even though they are our mortal enemies—I am weary, fatigued, exhausted… I just want to enjoy leisurely ease, to live in peace and contentment."

"So, Gong Sun Yao, don't impose your ideals on me!" Wu Tie shook his head: "I have no interest in the human emperor's throne… especially one obtained through intrigue and deceit—could that truly be a true human emperor?"

A flash of lightning streaked, carrying the fleet that had retreated with Ji Bai Jie, and also bringing back over a thousand heaven-court high-ranking officials possessing exalted strength, directly tearing through space and teleporting back.

In his fleet just now, he had carried countless human civilians he had plundered; he feared the human populace's great army would snatch those civilians back, so he hurriedly led his great army away.

Once the fleet had fled far enough, the fearless Ji Bai Jie, panting with excitement, again brought his retinue of experts rushing back.

He happened to hear Wu Tie's last two words, and Ji Bai Jie exclaimed excitedly: "Martial King, you don't wish to contend for the human emperor's throne; this brat Gong Sun Yao has heinous crimes, utterly unqualified… ha, why not let this venerable self seize the human emperor's position—wouldn't that bring peace under heaven?"

Ji Bai Jie raised his head, puffed his chest, and strode forward with dragon-like steps and tiger-like vigor toward Wu Tie.

"Martial King, what do you think? We are also acquainted through conflict… given my Ji Bai Jie's virtue and capability, a mere human emperor's throne would surely befit me, wouldn't it?"

Wu Tie's mouth twitched; he pointed at Gong Sun Yao and sneered coldly: "First let's sort out this brat's family affairs, then we'll talk."

Ji Bai Jie raised his eyebrows, burst into extreme excitement, and laughed: "Fine, this venerable self will beat him until he speaks the truth!"
