Chapter 137: 136. The Disciple’s Identity Shocks the Audience (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Phantom Twilight)
"So despicable!"
Miao Yin couldn’t help but mutter softly.
At this time, guided by Sun Wo’s words, curses began to emerge from the streets of Cangwu City and the windows of inns along its roads.
"Immortal Sect, get out of Cangwu City!"
"Never seen a sect as shameless as you."
"A sect can be inactive and can choose not to help us, but why deceive everyone? Fame-hungry scoundrels!"
...
The curses grew louder and more frequent, with some people even starting to throw things. The original residents of Cangwu City wanted to explain for Wen Ping, but their voices were like mosquito buzzes, unnoticed and unheard.
Qin Shan, although of the Profound Realm, had no choice but to dodge the items thrown by so many ordinary people and had no way to retaliate.
Acting to kill all these people?
No one could be so cruel, and even if they did, striking back only made the false accusations seem true.
Seeing the situation, Miao Yin quickly sought Wen Ping’s help, "Sect Leader Wen, what should we do now?"
Wen Ping pushed away the hand supporting him, then walked forward a few steps, allowing books and teacups to fall around him, before turning to Sun Wo and saying, "If you want to falsely accuse someone, what need is there for a pretext? If I am guilty, why not present the evidence? Is a report from a person claiming to know considered evidence?"
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, the middle-aged man standing to Sun Wo’s right raised his hand to stop the shouting and cursing from the people behind him, then said, "I’m Su Bubai from Huangli City, and the two people beside me are also stewards of the Hundred Sects Alliance in Huangli City, both are of the Profound Realm. If everyone here thinks that our three Profound Realm individuals have the time to come to Cangwu City to falsely accuse someone from a Starless Sect, then you’re overestimating yourself."
After speaking, Su Bubai let out a cold laugh in his heart.
He originally thought Wen Ping would not explain and directly start fighting, behaving rashly like a young man.
But this response from Wen Ping made him even happier. Wen Ping had neither strategy nor the courage to directly resist, making him waste the presence of the two Profound Realm followers.
As Su Bubai’s voice fell, the crowd began to curse again.
When Su Bubai once again stopped the noise, Wen Ping spoke, "Are you implying that identity serves as evidence?"
Su Bubai replied with a smile, "Of course."
"Alright then!" Wen Ping clapped his hands and, without turning back, shouted to the people behind him, "Huai Ye, come out, and tell everyone your identity!"
This statement by Wen Ping changed the expression on Sun Wo’s face. Upon hearing the name Huai Ye, he hurriedly whispered a reminder in Su Bubai’s ear, but Su Bubai disregarded it.
Because he did not connect it with the name Huaikong.
When Huai Ye walked to stand behind Wen Ping, the people on the streets of Cangwu City focused their gaze.
"Who’s this girl?"
"Probably a decoy."
...
Huai Ye then began to speak, "My name is Huai Ye, and my father is the Demon Chef Huaikong. I have two godfathers. The first—Huangli City’s City Lord, cultivator Luo He of the Middle Profound Realm. The second—Sect Leader of Qingkong Mountain, cultivator Wanli Qing of the Middle Profound Realm! My status isn’t high, just someone who travels around with my father."
Everyone knows about the City Lord of Huangli City, but ordinary people rarely know about Qingkong Mountain. In the cultivation realm, however, it is widely recognized as it stands alongside Flying Fish Island and Extreme Realm Mountain as one of the three giants of East Lake!
After Huai Ye spoke, the expressions of Su Bubai and others changed.
Before everyone could react, Wen Ping continued, "Gentlemen, do you truly believe I would dare to trick her out of money? Though if you want to claim her identity is fake, you may continue. Demon Chef Huaikong is right here in Cangwu City, perhaps on his way—surely you’ve heard of him..."
Su Bubai fell silent.
The spectators seeing Su Bubai speechless were taken aback, exchanging glances.
"Could it be? Judging by the Hundred Sects Alliance’s Profound Realm steward’s expression, is she really Demon Chef Huaikong’s daughter?"
"If that’s true, then surely the Immortal Sect wouldn’t be so foolish to risk annihilation just to swindle a Thousand Gold, right?"
"Obviously not! Haven’t you heard how powerful her godfathers are? The Hundred Sects Alliance is now facing the fallout of trying to manipulate the truth with identity."
The murmur of voices behind him made Su Bubai’s face darken, but he knew he had to persist; otherwise, the plan would fail entirely.
Su Bubai promptly responded, "So what? Nowadays thieves kill for even a Gold Coin. Perhaps some might dare do this for money."
Wen Ping smiled calmly, showing no hesitation, and immediately called out, "Qin Mo, tell everyone present who you are."
When Qin Mo realized it was his turn to make an impression, he quickly sprang forward, delightedly bypassing Wen Ping, and casually strolled before the Hundred Sects Alliance crowd.
Finally, he spoke casually, "Do you know who I am?"
"I don’t care who you are," Su Bubai responded impatiently, watching Qin Mo stroll by him. "The accusation against the Immortal Sect is real, time is of the essence, everyone with me to destroy this cultivation realm’s scourge from Cangwu City, from East Lake, and bring back a purified cultivation realm."
Whoosh!
Qin Mo swiftly raised his hand, taking out a Golden Order.
Inscribed — the words ’Flying Fish Island.’
Although it was just three simple words, the golden emblem made Su Bubai and others step back in shock, staring at Qin Mo in disbelief.
Flying Fish Island, Profound Realm uses the Black Order!
Island Master uses the Golden Order!
Of course, there is one exception: a decided future Island Master can also use the Golden Order.
"Impossible!"
"How could..."
Sun Wo and Su Bubai exclaimed subconsciously.
This scene, observed by the people on the streets of Cangwu City, sparked a new wave of discussion, with everyone staring at Qin Mo, faces full of doubt.
"Who is he?"
"Don’t know him?"
"Could he be Huaikong’s second son?"
Amidst the discussions and speculations, Qin Mo felt the stage set well, smiling as he spoke, "Qin Mo, eldest son of the Island Master of Flying Fish Island, heir of the Qin Family’s Clan Leader. I wonder if my identity clears the Immortal Sect’s name, or do you five from the Lower Profound Realm claim a status higher than mine?"
As Qin Mo spoke, before Su Bubai could respond, voices from the street reached his ears.
"The son of Flying Fish Island’s Island Master!"
"My gosh, this kind of person joined the Immortal Sect."
"Wouldn’t expect such a big..."
"Seeing this, how can I believe the Immortal Sect is a scamming sect now? The Hundred Sects Alliance wouldn’t dare deceive the Island Master’s son!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ping smiled, then said to Qin Mo, "Qin Mo, come back."
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
Intending to make a better impression, Qin Mo nodded and obediently retreated, pondering whether using Flame Skill now might be even cooler...
Qin Mo’s obedient retreat was witnessed by the crowd, turning Su Bubai’s complexion ghostly pale, rendering the bystanders speechless in confusion.
The son of Flying Fish Island’s Island Master truly responded to a summons like a disciple, promptly coming and going as called. This is something even the three chief stewards of the Hundred Sects Alliance in Huangli City couldn’t achieve, right?
Amidst the astonishment, Wen Ping stepped slowly to Su Bubai, then said, "If identity can serve as evidence, aren’t the identities of my two disciples sufficient?"
Su Bubai swallowed, turned his head to look around.
Listening to the voices behind leaning towards the Immortal Sect, he started to panic.
If he had known Huai Ye and Qin Mo had joined the Immortal Sect, he wouldn’t have resorted to this plan; now it seems he’s taken a turn for the worse!
Now, it seemed there was only one path left—force it through! Before everyone entirely believes the Immortal Sect is innocent.
