Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

239- Backers Have All Come

If Shen Yujue really used his Hardened Body Stage cultivation to fight against him, the result would be unknown, but Lin Xuanzhi knew that his chances of winning weren’t high. After all, the suppression from a higher cultivation level couldn’t be resisted so easily, let alone the large gap between his and Shen Yujue’s cultivation levels.

Although Shen Yujue was praised, he reacted as if his reverse scale had been triggered, exclaiming angrily, “You scoundrel, how dare you so freely talk nonsense about my Shen family’s fortune? Who gave you the courage?”

As an old ghost who had been wandering around for a thousand years, Lin Xuanzhi naturally wouldn’t bother with arguing with Shen Yujue, so he only said, “Regarding Shen Er’s matter, I will demand an explanation from you even if all of you didn’t find me first.”

Shen Yujue suppressed his murderous intent and, with extreme difficulty, restrained his sword that was already trembling nonstop while giving out ringing sounds. He glared at Lin Xuanzhi in rage. “Changgeng has always been gentle and courteous to people, he never quarrels with anyone. He’s already told me that in the Pill Limit Mysterious Land, all of you tried to take his life because you wanted to rob away the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire in his hands. You even used evil Yin arts. If it wasn’t because he ran away fast enough, right now, he wouldn’t have lost only an arm!”

Lin Xuanzhi understood when he heard this. Contrary to expectations, he held a wisp of admiration for Shen Changgeng now — he could immediately think of a method to flip truth and lies and get away scot-free while suffering from the pain of losing an arm. Not everyone could have this kind of mental fortitude.

Yan Tianhen objected with a dark expression, “Don’t tell me that whatever he says is the truth? He was clearly the one who took advantage of the fire to rob people, but he was too weak and suffered retribution as a result. Why is this our fault now?”

“Nonsense!” A Shen family elder slapped the table and stood up. “If you want to slander my Shen family’s people, you have to produce evidence!”

Yan Tianhen faced him, “You must provide evidence as well if you want to frame my Lin family’s people!”

Yan Tianhen had never been one to suffer losses in verbal arguments, and now that he had Lin Xuanzhi as his backing, even more so, he wouldn’t stand to suffer even a little loss when arguing.

However, not suffering losses meant that, at the same time, you couldn’t obtain any benefits either.

Both sides stuck to their own versions of the events and both claimed that the other party wasn’t anything good.

The Shen family naturally wouldn’t let this matter rest. Finally, that Shen family elder with a white beard spoke, “Young Sect Master Ren, even if these kids made some unreasonable decisions, don’t tell me that you don’t know who exactly owns this Pill Limit Mysterious Land? Back then, my Shen family agreed to open the Pill Limit Mysterious Land to Sky Peak Sect’s disciples because we were giving the Sect Master face. Furthermore, my Shen family already has an agreement with the Sect master that no matter who obtained the Sacred Fire in the Pill Limit Mysterious Land, it will belong to my Shen family in the end.”

Ren Fuyao couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He naturally knew about this, but he’d never expected that anyone would be able to obtain the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire. Moreover, the Shen family had already stated, very clearly, that only they knew the location of the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire, and that it was impossible for others to find it. Thus, Ren Fuyao had never even considered the possibility of other people taking away the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire.
