Chapter 1640

"Nangong Wu! You indulge your son-in-law to commit crimes outside and harm the orthodox Taoist friends. What is your intention? Shouldn't you give some explanation?"

One of the elders of the Sword Sect began to question Nangong Wu. This elder and Nangong Wu had pursued Ling Feihong, the elder of the Lanxing Sect, who was Nangong Yue's mother.

Unfortunately, this elder tried his best but failed to catch up. Instead, Ling Feihong finally fell in love with the steely straight man Nangong Wu.

So this elder has always been resentful. Now, taking this good opportunity to beat the dog when it is down, he will naturally not let it go, and even began to be restless and want to do it.

He wanted to let Ling Feihong see how her lover could compare to him. After so many years, he was still just an elder of the outer hall in the Transformation Realm.

And he had already entered the Enlightenment Realm and was one of the elders of the inner hall!

Nangong Wu was very upset when someone pointed at his nose and scolded him in person, but he could only accept it.

So many big men from the sect gathered together, and this matter itself was his son-in-law's fault. After all, he didn't know the truth, so he could only suffer this loss in silence.

He felt bitter in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have asked his father to come to the meeting.

But since he was here, Nangong Wu could only pretend to be calm and said, "Please wait a moment. If you have anything to say, please talk slowly. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go in and talk together."

Nangong Wu was afraid that so many people present would damage the image of the Sword Sect, so he immediately invited everyone in.

Unexpectedly, Mo Wenqing didn't give him face at all, and said coldly: "There's no need to go in. We are all upright people, not like those despicable people in the Demon Sect. If you have anything to say, just say it under the clear sky. I'm afraid that if I enter your Sword Sect, I will end up like He Qing."

Nangong Wu was immediately embarrassed, but he was also angry. He replied in a muffled voice: "Master Mo, just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush. My Sword Sect is definitely not the kind of sect that bullies the weak at will. If you are afraid, just go back. At worst, I will accompany Master Mo to the Sword Sect in person. I'm not afraid of entering other people's mountain gates!"

As soon as these words came out, Mo Wenqing's face suddenly fell.

"Nangong Wu! What do you mean by this!"

The elder of the Sword Sect beside him could no longer bear it. When he was about to take action, a figure flew over from the bottom of the mountain.

"My fellow authentic colleagues, it is an honor to visit our Sword Sect."

Seeing the appearance of the visitor, Mo Wenqing and others immediately relaxed their attitudes, and the conflict disappeared in an instant.

Mo Wenqing forced out an ugly smile, bowed respectfully and said: "Senior Yuan, how are you?"

The visitor was Yuan Tianjian, the great elder of the Sword Sect.

Seeing him coming out, these bigwigs from various sects had to shrink their necks and behave properly.

Yuan Tianjian is the second strongest person in the Tianyan Sword Sect. Before he entered the Yuhua realm, countless strong people were afraid of him.

No one knows how strong Yuan Tianjian, who has reached the Yuhua realm, is really.

But it can be imagined that once the sword intent that has been suppressed for thousands of years breaks through the shackles in his heart, its strength will be increased exponentially.

Facing the politeness of everyone, Yuan Tianjian still had no expression on his face, and his white hair was like frost.

He scanned the whole audience, his eyes were indifferent and carried invisible deterrence.

Finally, his eyes fell on Mo Wenqing, and he slowly said, "Master Mo, I just heard that you and my Sword Sect had a dispute. What's the matter?"

Mo Wenqing collected his thoughts and said with a smile, "Senior Yuan misunderstood. There was no dispute. It was just a small misunderstanding."

Yuan Tianjian didn't care, but continued to ask, "Then why did you come to my Sword Sect in such a high-profile manner?"

Mo Wenqing laughed and said, "This is a long story. Senior Yuan, why don't we go in and talk about it?"

As he said that, Mo Wenqing was about to lift his legs and leave.

But Yuan Tianjian remained motionless, saying calmly: "No need, what I just heard from Sect Master Mo makes a lot of sense, we are all righteous cultivators, there is no need to hide, since Sect Master Mo brought so many people here, I think he also wants to handle things impartially, then let's do as you wish, let's talk here."

Yuan Tianjian was actually doing this for their own good, after all, if they went to the sect and made a scene, alarming Leng Feiyan, with her temper, it would be really difficult to end today.

Mo Wenqing didn't know what was good for him, thinking that Yuan Tianjian was deliberately turning his face away, and immediately put on the posture of a sect master, speaking in a low tone.

"Since Senior Yuan said so, that's fine. We came here to seek an explanation from the Sword Sect. He Qing, the Great Elder of our Sword Sect, was severely injured by your disciples Lin Jichen, Chu Tianhan, and Nangong Yue, and almost died on the spot. They also kidnapped Mo Kongfeng, a disciple of our Sword Sect's inner hall. So I came here specially this time to ask Senior Yuan why this happened?"

Yuan Tianjian looked calm, not even frowning.He said, "Master Mo should have heard that our disciple Li Mu's family died tragically on his wedding day. Lin Jichen and other disciples went down the mountain to find the real murderer. Why did they look for Mo Kongfeng? Doesn't Master Mo know?"

Mo Wenqing's heart skipped a beat, thinking, bad, has Mo Kongfeng's identity been exposed?

It shouldn't be. If it was exposed, the Sword Sect should have made it public long ago, and it wouldn't be so passive.

After all, he is a smart man. Mo Wenqing immediately smelled the flaw.

He determined that the other party didn't have any evidence.

Only He Qing and Mo Kongfeng knew the identity of Mo Kongfeng. Mo Kongfeng knew very well what the consequences would be if his identity was exposed, so he would never tell anyone.

Even if there are some evil magic such as spiritual secrets that can obtain memories, they are rare, and Lin Jichen and others are all righteous cultivators, and they definitely don't know these means.

So Mo Wenqing determined that the Sword Sect had no substantial evidence at all. As long as there was no evidence, his Sword Sect would be invincible!

So he simply stood up and turned the tables, saying, "Senior Yuan, please speak directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. Although our Jixiao Sword Sect is not as good as the Tianyan Sword Sect, we still firmly believe that justice is in the hearts of the people! If someone from our Sword Sect commits a crime, there is no need for you Sword Sect to do anything. I will punish him to convince everyone!"

Now it was Yuan Tianjian's turn to be silent. He really did not have any evidence. He simply believed in the character of Lin Jichen and Chu Tianhan.

He believed that Lin Jichen would not act without evidence. They must have discovered something when they approached He Qing and Mo Kongfeng, so he was so confident.

But now Mo Wenqing acted as if nothing had happened, and instead forced him into a corner. This was something Yuan Tianjian did not expect.

Yuan Tianjian had no choice but to say, "We are still investigating this matter, and we have been contacting the three of them. Unfortunately, there has been no reply. You can wait for a while. I believe there will be a result soon."

Yuan Tianjian started a delaying tactic, but how could Mo Wenqing be sent away so easily?
