Chapter 13681 They have a backer
"You're talking nonsense!" Yu Zhengqi was furious when he heard what Xiao Yihang said. His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and his face was twisted with anger. "That day I clearly gave you the Black Sky Sword of the Demon Lord, but you actually denied it." Of course, the high priest had taught him to say this beforehand.

The high priest is well aware of the power of public opinion. He distorts right and wrong in order to make Zhaixing Tower a target of public criticism, and take advantage of other forces' coveting of the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword to destroy Zhaixing Tower.

As Yu Zhengqi spoke, he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his words would work and encourage the surrounding forces to attack the Zhaixing Tower in order to complete the task assigned by the high priest.

Xiao Yihang's expression was originally quite calm, but the moment he realized that the restriction he had left in Yu Zhengqi's body had been broken, his face suddenly darkened, like the dark clouds before a storm.

His eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's as he stared at Yu Zhengqi closely. The aura around him fluctuated slightly as an invisible pressure spread towards Yu Zhengqi.

"My Zhaixing Tower and your Zhengqi Hall have never interfered with each other and have no grudges against each other. Why do you want to slander us like this?" He asked, his voice low and powerful, echoing in the airspace like a huge bell, with a hint of anger and confusion.

"Slander you? I'm just telling the truth. If it weren't for the adults in the temple upholding justice this time, I wouldn't dare to tell the truth." Yu Zhengqi's heart tightened, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and responded coldly.

At this moment, everything the high priest had told him flashed through his mind quickly, and he knew that he could not reveal the slightest flaw.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing a guilty yet tough look, and met Xiao Yihang's gaze, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart:
Saying that he has no grudges against Zhaixing Tower? This is ridiculous! Zhaixing Tower used his identity to destroy the Demon Tower in an attempt to divert the blame. Although the conspiracy was later discovered and failed, if it succeeded, Yu Zhengqi would have died without a burial place. Can this be considered as having no grudges? Xiao Yihang really can lie with his eyes open!

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Yihang laughed with his head raised. His laughter was hearty yet a bit sarcastic, and it echoed in the air around them.

After he finished laughing, his eyes were like torches, he slowly scanned the many figures hiding in the dark around him, and said loudly: "In this case, I don't need to waste my breath to explain anything. I only have one sentence for those who are hiding in the dark, listen carefully, the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword is not in the hands of my Zhaixing Tower. In my opinion, it is very likely that it has fallen into the hands of the Holy Hall.

If you blindly become the enemy of Zhaixing Tower, you will not only gain nothing, but also become a pawn of others and be used by them completely. Having said this, it is up to you whether you believe it or not. "

As he spoke, he crossed his arms over his chest, his posture straight, his eyes revealing a calm and confident look, as if he was declaring to the world the innocence of Zhaixing Tower.

After saying this, Xiao Yihang turned his gaze to the First Knight. There was no fear in his eyes, but a hint of provocation: "As for your Holy Hall, if you have any ability, just use it. I am not a soft persimmon in Zhaixing Tower, and I am not afraid of the Holy Hall."

As he spoke, the spiritual power in his body quietly circulated, and a faint light emanated from his body. He exuded a faint aura of breaking and then standing up, as if to show everyone in the holy hall that even against the powerful holy hall, Zhaixing Tower had the strength to fight.

The first knight looked at Xiao Yihang, shook his head gently, and a faint smile appeared on his face, with a hint of contempt and disdain in that smile.

"It seems that, just as the high priest said, your building has found a backer. Although we don't know who this person is at the moment, in this world, those who dare to openly oppose the Holy Church will eventually end up, and you in the Star Picking Building know best what will happen."

As the First Knight spoke, he raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, as if he saw the tragic destruction of the Zhaixing Tower in the future.

The golden armor on his body became more and more dazzling under the sunlight, and the runes on the armor flashed with mysterious light, as if indicating the supreme authority and powerful strength of the temple, and the warning to the Star-Picking Tower was beyond words.

When Xiao Yihang heard the First Knight's threatening words, a sneer instantly appeared on his face. This smile was like frost in the cold winter, revealing bone-chilling coldness and disdain.

"Stop talking nonsense. If the Holy Hall really has the ability to destroy our Zhaixing Tower, then just come at me." As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, his eyes full of pride, and the aura around him surged slightly, showing the Zhaixing Tower's unyielding momentum.

"We in Zhaixing Tower respect the supreme majesty of the Holy Temple Headquarters, but you are just a small town of the Holy Temple. It is far from enough to make us afraid!"

Xiao Yihang's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the airspace like a huge bell, announcing the tough attitude of Zhaixing Tower to everyone in the temple.

After saying these powerful words, Xiao Yihang turned around gracefully, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his steps steady and resolute, without the slightest hesitation or retreat, leaving the First Knight and Yu Zhengqi with a lonely and proud back, as if to show them that Zhaixing Tower could deal with any threat calmly.

The First Knight looked at Xiao Yihang's departing back and was silent for a moment. His brows were furrowed, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He was surprised by Xiao Yihang's tough attitude, and also puzzled about the confidence of Zhaixing Tower.

Then, he also sneered, with a hint of sarcasm and unwillingness in his laughter, and turned away as well. His steps were still neat and powerful, and the golden armor on his body gleamed in the sunlight, but at this moment, he felt a little more uncertain about the upcoming conflict.

……

The Yu family's ancestral land was quiet and simple. Tall pines and cypresses swayed gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds. The chief priest sat quietly on an ancient boulder, holding a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand.

He stroked his beard gently, with a meaningful smile on his face: "This Zhaixing Tower is so confident, it seems that they really have invited some external help."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry and curiosity in his eyes, "But I really can't figure out which force has the courage to openly be the enemy of our temple!" The high priest's voice was low and calm, but it seemed to carry a magical power that could see through everything, and it slowly echoed in this quiet valley.

"I really can't think of it." The first knight stood aside, also frowning, his expression full of thought.

He shook his head slightly, with a hint of confusion in his tone, "Logically speaking, even if there are enemies of our Holy Hall, they would usually only do some small tricks behind our backs and attack us, and would never stand up so blatantly to support Zhaixing Tower."
