Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Chapter 571: Chapter 565: The Strong (Combined Two-in-One)_2

Their presence, set against everyone else, became somewhat glaring.

"Gu Jinlai."

At this moment, Immortal Wu Zhong could not help but speak out, "Learning is endless, the proficient are teachers, faced with the pioneer of your cultivation path, a supreme powerhouse far superior to you, why do you not bow?"

"Heh, when Venerable Xuan Tian drew his sword a few months ago, I didn’t see you lowering your head in submission either," Gu Jinlai said.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Wu Zhong’s face suddenly changed.

He had already been defeated by the Devas Realm Venerable Xuan Tian, and even had the Divine Weapon World Sword taken from him. Encountering Venerable Xuan Tian at Lingxiao Palace, who had already broken through to the Saint Realm, he knew he would undoubtedly die if the fight continued and fled in panic; this scene...

Had become the greatest humiliation of his life.

Now that Gu Jinlai had reopened this wound, it immediately enraged Wu Zhong to fury, "Gu Jinlai... you... how dare you! I knew there must be collusion between Lingxiao Palace and Venerable Xuan Tian, otherwise, how could he present the World Sword, which belongs to Sanqing Hall, to Lingxiao Palace, and help you target our Sanqing Hall!?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuan’s gaze instantly fell on Gu Jinlai.

Not just him, even the True Immortal turned their gaze towards the people of Lingxiao Palace.

They came from the Immortal Country.

But the Immortal Country, since half a year ago, had focused all its energy on the battle at the Blood Moat Demon Abyss, with almost all human and material resources poured into this meat grinder.

They were still paying attention to the Holy Dynasty, which only had the battle power of six True Immortals, but the degree of attention had diminished.

It can also be said that Jin Haoran was no longer in charge; his task was only to collect Spirit Crystals.

So he did not have much of a reaction to "Gu Jinlai."

At most, he felt...

"Devas Qian, daring to defy the True Immortals of Immortal Country?"

Jin Haoran chuckled and turned his gaze to Lin Yuan, "Your territory, will you handle this?"

Lin Yuan nodded. He stepped forward, with the aura of a top-level Void Immortal beginning to rise gradually, "Gu Jinlai? Wunian mentioned you in his transmission, a new emerging leader who rose rapidly in less than a decade? Just now, Wu Zhong said there is collusion between Lingxiao Palace and Venerable Xuan Tian? Is this true?"

"Abyss Lord, one must not accept Immortal Wunian’s words at face value..."

Jiang Chongshan immediately spoke out.

"And who might you be?"

Lin Yuan directly interrupted Jiang Chongshan.

"He is the current Emperor Daqian, Jiang Chongshan," said Immortal Wu Zhong by the side.

"The current Emperor Daqian?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Jiang Chongshan, "Has the Daqian Royal Family fallen to such depths?"

After a moment, he waved his hand, "Step back, I do not wish to waste words on a junior like you."

He looked at Gu Jinlai, "I just want to know, is there any truth to the collusion between Lingxiao Palace and Venerable Xuan Tian? Or perhaps, that Venerable Xuan Tian isn’t the murderer of Master Wushi?"

"It’s absolutely true that Venerable Xuan Tian assassinated Senior Brother Wushi by despicable means; everyone here can testify to that," Immortal Wunian declared loudly, and after speaking, he glanced around at the crowd. No one rebutted his statement.

Even Lingxiao Palace and Jiang Chongshan’s group were no exception.

Immortal Wunian continued, "The reason Venerable Xuan Tian could assassinate Senior Brother Wushi was all because of Xuan Yue. After the incident, Xuan Yue was taken away from Sanqing Hall by Xuan Tian and was hidden by Lingxiao Palace. Although Xuan Yue himself may have been wronged, before we could investigate the truth, he had become a member of Lingxiao Palace and even took charge of the World Sword, becoming the biggest beneficiary. It’s hard for us not to suspect Lingxiao Palace’s involvement in this matter."

Having said that, he added loudly, "Moreover, a few months ago, when we descended upon Lingxiao Palace intending to demand an explanation, Venerable Xuan Tian reappeared and forced back our people from Sanqing Hall! I think everyone can see clearly whether Lingxiao Palace collaborated with Venerable Xuan Tian or not!"

"That’s nonsense!"

Xuan Yue, standing behind Gu Jinlai, couldn’t help but step forward, urgently saying, "At that time, it really was because you went too far, Big Brother Venerable Xuan Tian... Venerable Xuan Tian took action to uphold justice because he couldn’t bear to watch any longer!"

"What a ’Big Brother Venerable Xuan Tian,’ what an ’upholding justice because he couldn’t bear to watch!’ Xuan Yue, is this how you treat your mentor who saw you as a disciple?" Immortal Wunian shouted, "Everyone, in fact, based on the recent information leaked by Lingxiao Palace about Gu Jinlai obtaining a Heavenly Dragon, I’ve had new suspicions. The Heavenly Dragon, a Beast Taming with the battle power of the Earthly True Immortal Realm, if exposed one or two years ago, other than my Senior Brother Wushi, who could stand against it? Even now, if the Abyss Lord had not received my message and come rushing over, tell me, if Gu Jinlai intended to rely on the power of the Heavenly Dragon to sweep through Qiantian... who in the world today could stand in his way!?"

As these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed simultaneously.

Even the expression of Emperor Master Tai Yuan standing beside Jiang Chongshan showed a trace of concern.

Although they knew the truth about Venerable Xuan Tian’s assassination of Master Wushi and understood Immortal Wunian’s words were baseless, if Gu Jinlai truly intended to use the power of the Heavenly Dragon to sweep through Qiantian...

Who could resist?

The answer was...

None!

"Gu Jinlai, is that so? Won’t you give me an explanation?"

Lin Yuan’s gaze turned somewhat stern as it fell upon Gu Jinlai’s hands.

"Explanation," Gu Jinlai chuckled lightly, "There is a saying, it takes but one mouth to spread rumors, and broken legs to refute them. He has only conjectures, shouldn’t the one who suspects provide the proof?"

"It seems you wish to avoid answering?"

Lin Yuan reached out, and a layer of golden scales shone on his hand, "Or perhaps... you plan to be obstinate?"

"Don’t you want to know why, even though I have obtained a Heavenly Dragon, I still did not bring it with me at this crucial moment?"
