Chapter 59: Lies Exposed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the Dao Seeking Square, the expressions of everyone became more and more splendid. They saw that Li Yu had once again entered the Divine Weapon Rankings.
Seeing that the Great Demon Shi Potian’s Scarlet Copper Hammer was in Li Yu’s possession, they could not be more stunned, especially when they remembered what Ye Qiu had just said.
They felt that an unimaginable possibility was about to be proven true.
“Shi Potian was killed by Li Yu?” Elder Cangshan, Elder Qingxuan, and the others looked at each other with shocked expressions.
They looked at the confident Ye Qiu.
Was Ye Qiu telling the truth?
They had all seen the terrifying rift at Stone Devil Mountain.
It was a terrifying rift that had been slashed open by a sword.
The crack in the Wolf King’s camp resulted from the same person.
If the Tiger Soul Saber was in Li Yu’s hand was a coincidence. Li Yu’s having the Scarlet Copper Hammer seemed to explain everything.
Everyone’s gaze gathered on Elder Jinyang. Su Mu frowned as well. He looked at Elder Jin Yang, hoping for an explanation.
However, how could the current Elder Jinyang still have the cheek to speak? It was as if he had eaten a fly, and his expression was as ugly as it could be.
His face flushed red, and he felt even more guilty.
He really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He wanted to explode on the spot and turn into ashes. He did not want to face everyone’s overbearing gazes.
He really hated the ridiculous idea his sect master had thought of, fabricating that the patriarch was a mysterious expert.
Now, this lie was probably going to be exposed. The Five Elements Sect had tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. They would be utterly humiliated and despised by the world.
“How could it be Li Yu!” Elder Jin Yang was simply complaining endlessly in his heart.
They never imagined that the mysterious expert was Li Yu?
If it was really a mysterious expert in seclusion, no one would recognize him even if he was exposed. It would be easy for them to cover up the lie.
However, it was all over now.
“Perfected Jinyang, give us an explanation!” Elder Cangshan looked at Perfected Jinyang with disdain and questioned.
He naturally looked down on such shameless acts of impersonating others for the sake of the sect’s benefits.
Such behavior would be despised by the world.
He did not expect the Five Elements Sect to be that pathetic.
“That’s right. We should know that the person who killed the greater demon Shi Potian is the same person who killed the Wolf King. The Wolf King and Shi Potian’s magic treasures are in the hands of Li Yu. What’s going on? Did your patriarch give it to Li Yu!” Elder Qingxuan questioned with a cold smile.
Previously, it was rumored that the Five Elements Sect’s patriarch was a mysterious expert who had allowed the Five Elements Sect to gain both fame and fortune.
Today, they were about to become the main character of this recruitment event.
However, Elder Qingxuan did not expect that the Five Elements Sect was lying.
He wanted to see how the Five Elements Sect would clean up this mess.
“Hmph, that’s right. Is your patriarch Li Yu’s master? Could it be that the Qingyun Sect is the new sect your patriarch founded?”
“So your patriarch not only took Zhu Xiaotian as his disciple, but he also took in Li Yu? He’s a little biased, though. Why did he give Li Yu his magic treasures?”
“That’s right. Did you give all the wealth of the Netherworld Demon Sect to Li Yu?” The members of the other sects attacked with questions as well.
They said all the lines that they could think of that Perfected Jin Yang might want to use, leaving him speechless for a moment.
After all, the immoral conduct of the Five Elements Sect was infuriating and despicable.
“Seniors, my Qingyun Sect’s sect master is a peerless expert from the Divine Firmament Holy Land. He’s not the Five Elements Sect’s patriarch!” Ye Qiu cupped his hands and announced.
“Divine Firmament Holy Land?” Everyone raised their eyebrows as they revealed looks of surprise.
The Divine Firmament Holy Land was one of the seven Holy Lands and was an absolute behemoth. It was also where the top geniuses and experts of the world gathered.
Even if all the sects of the Great Xia Dynasty were combined, they were not even a tenth of that Holy Land.
Since the Qingyun Sect’s sect master came from the Divine Firmament Holy Land, it was no wonder that he could teach a monstrous genius like Li Yu.
He also helped Ye Qiu to break through in a short period of time.
Even so, isn’t Li Yu a little too powerful?
“Senior Jinyang, was the Wolf King really not killed by your sect’s patriarch?” Su Mu frowned as he looked at Perfected Jinyang.
He felt as if his feelings had been cheated, and he was furious.
“Little child, isn’t it obvious? The Five Elements Sect is lying! You should stay away from such an immoral sect!”
“That’s right, such behavior is despised by the world!”
“Yeah, why don’t you reconsider? Our Great Sky Dao Sect isn’t a bad choice!”
“Everyone, don’t make it sound so awful. We were also deceived. That fellow who claimed to be our Five Elements Sect’s patriarch might be a cheat!” Elder Jin Yang stammered.
He really could not recover anymore. The truth was already clear as day.
All he could do now was to quickly shift the blame. Otherwise, his sect’s reputation would probably be utterly destroyed.
“Hahaha, you people can’t even tell if your patriarch is real or fake. Your Five Elements Sect is really silly!”
“You must have been blinded by benefits!”
“Or is it that you never thought of checking his identity!”
“I think you guys did it on purpose. You can’t even differentiate between a cheat and an ancestor. Your sect is really making me laugh my head off!”
“When our patriarch disappeared back then, the sect master was only a youth. How could he remember so clearly? It was normal for him to mistake the person. At the time, the sect master was probably too happy and did not think much about it! Before we knew it, we were also deceived by that fellow who impersonated the patriarch!” Perfected Jinyang was still trying his best to explain.
“Hmph, since when did you guys become the victims!”
“Yes! He claimed that he was severely injured after destroying the Netherworld Demon Sect. Our sect used a lot of spirit herbs to treat our patriarch’s injuries too!” Perfected Golden Yang continued to make up lies.
At this point, he could only try his best to restore the sect’s reputation. Otherwise, the Five Elements Sect would probably be rejected by the world.
“Alright, stop finding excuses. If your Five Elements Sect’s strength had half of your ability to lie, you would have become the number one sect in the Great Xia Dynasty!”
“Agreed! If the truth hadn’t been revealed through the Heavenly Dao Rankings today, everyone in the world would probably get deceived by you people the entire time and treat that imaginary ancestor of yours as a hero!”
“That’s right. In that case, Li Yu is the true hero. He silently killed Shi Potian, the Wolf King Tharman, and eliminated trouble for our Great Xia Dynasty. After that, he left without a word. He has never talked or bragged about it to anyone. He has never thought of letting the world be grateful to him.
“On the other hand, your Five Elements Sect doesn’t even check if that so-called patriarch is real or not. Instead, you publicize it as if you’re afraid that the world will never know! It’s easy to judge who’s better!”
“Compared to Li Yu, your sect is really unworthy of the title of hero!”
“That’s right. To think that we believed that your Five Elements Sect was a righteous sect. I didn’t expect that your Five Elements Sect was really so shameless.”
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and they criticized to vent the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Many of them were here for the Five Elements Sect today, and they treated the Five Elements Sect as the heroes of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Five Elements Sect have disappointed them immensely and cheated their feelings.
How could they not be angry?
