Chapter 13589: False Charge
At this moment, a warrior sitting on the right suddenly leaned forward slightly, cleared his throat and said, "As for the attitude of Zhaixing Tower, it is actually very clear.
They don't care about Ling Xiao's life or death. Zhaixing Tower has made it clear that whether Ling Xiao lives or dies has nothing to do with them.
We are here only for Ling Xiao's body, even his corpse after death. As for the legendary Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, we are not interested in it at all."
When this man spoke loudly, his voice was loud and confident, booming through the hall.
The speaker was Chen Mo. He was tall and straight, with short black hair standing up, a resolute and stern face, and a gleam in his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
He was wearing a black suit with silver patterns embroidered on it and a black belt tied around his waist, which made him look even more heroic. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and explained the matter in an unquestionable tone.
After the Holy Hall Messenger heard this, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly, still speaking indifferently: "Okay, in this case, then hand over Ling Xiao's sister Ling Bi and his fiancée Xiao Lianzhu to the Demon Tower.
The Demon Tower is very good at setting traps and plotting conspiracies. Let them set up the traps carefully. We don't have to worry about Ling Xiao not taking the bait. Once he falls into the trap, we can get what we want smoothly."
His voice was cold and calm, as if everything was under his control.
Hearing this, Yu Zhengqi's thick eyebrows were instantly furrowed tightly together, and a barely perceptible trace of worry and thought flashed across his face.
Then, he straightened his robes, walked towards the Holy Temple Messenger opposite with steady steps, and said respectfully and anxiously: "Holy Messenger, may I have a word with you? The matter here is of great importance and should not be mentioned here."
"Okay!" The Holy Temple envoy nodded gently. As the Holy Temple's representative in this area, he was still quite partial to the Righteousness Hall in his heart. After all, the Righteousness Hall had long been a loyal vassal of the Holy Temple.
He thought that Yu Zhengqi's request must be for important matters to discuss, so he did not hesitate too much.
The two quietly moved to a corner of the hall. Yu Zhengqi waved his hand, and a faint light instantly enveloped the surroundings. A transparent soundproof cover quietly took shape, completely isolating the noise from the outside world.
Only after making sure that no one else would eavesdrop did Yu Zhengqi lower his voice and said solemnly:
"Holy Envoy, we in the Righteousness Hall have come up with a plan after careful discussion. We intend to use Ling Bi, Xiao Lianzhu, and Meng Haoqing as the cauldrons and use this opportunity to enhance the strength of the Three Righteous Sons.
These three people have unique blood and aura, which complement the Three Righteous Sons. If used properly, the strength of the Three Righteous Sons will surely be improved to a higher level and make more contributions to the Holy Hall.
Therefore, regarding the candidates to be handed over to the Demon Tower this time, we can only hand over those from the Demon Suppression Mansion, and Ling Bi and the other two cannot be handed over no matter what."
After a pause, Yu Zhengqi showed a sly smile on his face and continued, "But the Holy Envoy doesn't need to worry about this. Ling Xiao is a man of temperament, and he values friendship and loyalty to the extreme.
Whether it was Zhang Ruochen, Bai Yan, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Soul, or even anyone else who had a slight friendship with him, he would not give up easily.
We can make a clever plan and use this to make him think that Ling Bi and others are on the list to be handed in. He will definitely be fooled and rush to rescue us, and then we can capture him in one fell swoop."
The Holy Temple envoy at the side narrowed his eyes slightly and was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his heart. Although he was worried about the uncertainty of the plan, he also knew that what Zhengqitang said was not completely unreasonable.
After a long time, he slowly nodded, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty, and said: "Okay, let's do as you say. Hand over all the geniuses from the Demon Suppression Mansion to the Demon Tower.
However, I have to be frank with you. If this plan fails, you must hand over Ling Bi and the other three.
I don't care about the Three Righteous Sons, I only follow the will of the Holy Hall. The Holy Hall wants Ling Xiao to die and to obtain the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword. Anyone who stands in the way of this goal must give in to the Holy Hall."
Yu Zhengqi hurriedly lowered his head, nodded repeatedly, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Holy Envoy! We will do our best to complete this matter and will not disappoint the Holy Envoy and the Holy Church."
However, when he raised his head, a hint of reluctance flashed across his eyes. He knew in his heart that although the Righteousness Hall seemed to be powerful, in the eyes of the Holy Hall, it was just a chess piece that could be used at any time, and could even be abandoned at any time.
But the order from the temple was like the irresistible power of heaven. Even though he was unwilling, he dared not disobey in the slightest.
At that time, Zhang Ruochen, Bai Sha, Bai Yan, Tianhun Saintess and other disciples were practicing hard in the training place of Zhengqi Hall, hoping that they could continue to climb on the road of immortal chivalry.
However, the Righteousness Hall announced that Zhang Ruochen and his group had colluded with the Demonic Cultivators. This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly exploding inside and outside the Righteousness Hall. The usually peaceful place of cultivation suddenly became tense, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Soon, the stewards of the Righteousness Hall came with a group of aggressive disciples. They looked stern, with suspicion and hostility in their eyes, and surrounded Zhang Ruochen and the others.
"Zhang Ruochen, you have been accused of colluding with the devil. Now the evidence is solid. Zhengqi Hall cannot tolerate people like you who harm the righteous path!" A deacon shouted loudly, his voice like a bell, echoing in the training field.
Zhang Ruochen and the others were shocked. Before they could explain, the steward waved his hand and all the disciples rushed forward and tied them up.
Not long after, they were officially expelled from the Zhengqi Hall on the charge of colluding with the devil, and were then handed over to Chongxuan to be taken away.
Chongxuan had a smug look on his face, as if he had accomplished an important mission. He led Zhang Ruochen and the others away gradually, and the dust they raised seemed to be another curtain closing on this farce.
However, behind the complicated situation of Zhengqitang, there is a group of mysterious figures hiding very deeply. Momo, Weiwei, Mu Qingping, Xueying and others among the thirteen demons of Zhenmo Mansion have never had any public contact with Lingxiao since they joined Zhengqitang.
They were like shadows hidden in the darkness, low-key and silent. On weekdays, while other disciples were busy practicing and socializing, they just quietly practiced at their own pace.
No one knew they were from the Demon Suppression Mansion. They seemed to be in two completely different worlds from Zhang Ruochen and the others, with no intersection at all. All of this was due to Ling Xiao's orders. (End of this chapter)
