187: Chapter 187 What does the killing by Shen Hetu have to do with me, Shen Xuansheng?
Just as the Second Prince was preparing to take action...
Spatial ripples spread out as Ru Lai arrived, bringing with him the Experts of Spirit Mountain.
"Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, Buddha Ru Lai?" Seeing Ru Lai, the Second Prince was somewhat surprised.
Ru Lai recognized the Second Prince at the same time and immediately stepped forward to say, "Second Prince, have you come this time to hold Shen Xuansheng accountable for his crimes?"
The Second Prince looked at Ru Lai with doubt.
"You..."
Ru Lai spoke with righteous indignation, "This seat learned that Shen Xuansheng has been wantonly slaughtering living beings in the Great Ling Dynasty. Such brutal methods are intolerable to my buddhist path. This seat has come today to represent all living beings in the world and hold Shen Xuansheng accountable!"
He had no choice.
The development of the Eastern buddhist path was far too fast compared to their Western Heaven Spirit Mountain. Especially for his own Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, whenever they tried to recruit Disciples, the first thing people would ask was: Are you those people who stole the dao lineage of the Eastern Spirit Mountain?
Could anyone stand that?
In any case, Ru Lai couldn't stand it. Furthermore, in Ru Lai's current calculations, he had to suppress the Eastern Spirit Mountain. Otherwise, once the White Tiger Realm opened, how would he have any chance of gathering the White Tiger Clan?
The White Tiger Clan was a vital combat force for the future of Spirit Mountain—at least, that was what Ru Lai believed.
Most importantly, the entrance to the White Tiger Realm was in the West!
Ru Lai could not let this opportunity pass.
Therefore, before the White Tiger Realm opened, he had to ruin Shen Xuansheng's reputation or suppress him!
Hearing this.
The Second Prince's eyes widened. "Western Heaven Spirit Mountain is indeed compassionate."
"Today, this prince intends to question that Shen Xuansheng. If you want to destroy a dynasty, then destroy it, but why slaughter its people? Moreover, many items in that Great Ling Dynasty belong to my Great Night Imperial Dynasty; he must return them!"
Ru Lai nodded quickly. "What the Second Prince says is absolutely correct. Items of the Great Night Imperial Dynasty should naturally be returned to their original owner!"
"Why don't we hold him accountable together?"
The Second Prince replied, "Good!"
Just as Ru Lai and the Second Prince were about to speak, the area around the Jiesheng Sect suddenly turned into a world of fire. Two streaks of flames swept through. Seeing this, Ru Lai and the Second Prince immediately blocked them.
Boom!
The Immortal Essence Magic Power of both men was instantly shattered.
They retreated ten thousand feet away in a pathetic state.
Within the flames.
Shen Xuansheng and Jiu Ling slowly walked out.
"Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"
Seeing Jiu Ling, the expressions of Ru Lai and the Second Prince changed.
"Ru Lai?"
Shen Xuansheng saw Ru Lai, then his gaze fell upon the Second Prince. "Young Master Gong, who is this?"
He didn't know the Second Prince, but he knew Gong Fengyu.
Gong Fengyu immediately replied, "Young Sect Master Shen, this is His Highness Ye Hao, the Second Prince of my Great Night Imperial Dynasty!"
Ye Hao straightened his clothes, becoming arrogant once more. He glanced at Shen Xuansheng and said indifferently, "Shen Xuansheng, this prince is already aware of your slaughter in the Great Ling Dynasty."
"What is your crime?"
"You destroyed the Great Ling Dynasty and even seized the treasures of my Great Night Imperial Dynasty. Hand the items over obediently and follow me to the Great Night Imperial Dynasty to plead for forgiveness!"
Hearing Ye Hao's words, Shen Xuansheng looked at Gong Fengyu, seemingly asking if what he said was true.
Gong Fengyu's lips twitched, and he shrugged his shoulders.
Shen Xuansheng understood instantly.
This fellow was quite the... Second Prince!
"Ru Lai, what did you come to the Jiesheng Sect for? Do you have a death wish? Do you want me to send you on your way?" Shen Xuansheng asked.
Ru Lai snorted coldly and said loudly, "Shen Xuansheng, you slaughtered the inhabitants of two consecutive cities in the Great Ling Dynasty. Such behavior brings wrath from the heavens and resentment from the people. My Buddha is compassionate. Today, this seat represents all living beings to ask you: are you not afraid of being plagued by Karmic Obstruction?"
"How is such behavior any different from a demon?"
Shen Xuansheng finally understood.
These two... were sick in the head!
The Second Prince's arrival was somewhat understandable, but Ru Lai being in such a hurry surely meant there was some other trickery involved.
Shen Xuansheng looked at Ru Lai, and suddenly seemed to think of something.
A smile played on his lips.
"So that's how it is!"
At this moment, the auras of countless Experts descended from the surroundings. Clearly, these two had other backup plans.
Seeing the arrival of Experts from various factions, Ru Lai's confidence surged.
That's right.
He was the one who called them. These people included Experts from ancient families and people from various Imperial Dynasties. Most importantly, these people came from all over.
"What happened?"
"The Young Sect Master slaughtered the people of two cities?"
"When did this happen?"
"It's unlikely. The Young Sect Master isn't that kind of person."
The news could no longer be hidden.
Meanwhile.
In the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty.
Emperor Zhou and the other emperors turned their gazes toward the Night Emperor, as if asking if this was really his son.
The Night Emperor's face was as dark as still water.
If he could, he would go and kill this rebellious son right now!
"Hehe, Night Emperor, it seems you've raised a fine son!" Emperor Zhou said with a chuckle. "With a figure like the Second Prince in the Great Night Imperial Dynasty, why worry about it not flourishing?"
"A subordinate Imperial Dynasty was just destroyed, and he immediately goes to hold someone accountable."
"What a great way to win over the people's hearts!"
The other emperors couldn't help but say, "Night Emperor, my sons are not as good as yours!"
"What a pity. Why don't I have such a good son?"
"Tsk tsk, going directly to the Jiesheng Sect to demand justice. Night Emperor, would you dare to do that yourself?"
"Don't say that. Back in the Chaos Sea, the Night Emperor's life was saved by the Jiesheng Sect Master."
"Is your news outdated? When the Huangshan Sect was wiped out, the Night Emperor actually attacked the Jiesheng Sect. The Night Emperor's strength is beyond us!"
Night Emperor: "...!"
Damn it!
Will every single one of you die if you don't act all sarcastic and cynical?
In front of the Jiesheng Sect.
Shen Xuansheng waved his hand. "Ru Lai, Second Prince, you say it was the Great Qin Dynasty that destroyed the Great Ling Dynasty, and that the Emperor of Qin ordered the killings and the slaughter. But I'm curious."
"If it was clearly done by the Emperor of Qin, why are you looking for me?"
Shen Xuansheng asked, "Ru Lai, tell me, what is the name of the Emperor of Qin?"
Ru Lai replied, "The Emperor of Qin is Shen Hetu!"
The Second Prince also nodded. "That's right, Shen Hetu!"
Shen Xuansheng's eyes widened. "Exactly. Shen Hetu killed those people, so what does that have to do with me, Shen Xuansheng?"
"Ru Lai, tell me, what is my name?"
"Second Prince, as the Crown Prince of the Great Night Imperial Dynasty, you are also someone who carries Luck. Do I have the Luck of Great Qin on me?"
Ru Lai immediately said, "Shen Xuansheng, don't try to fool this seat. Do you really think I don't know that you and Shen Hetu are the same person?"
The Second Prince looked at Shen Xuansheng and shook his head. "Indeed, you do not have the Luck of Great Qin on you."
Shen Xuansheng looked at Ru Lai speechlessly. "Ru Lai, do you even understand? If Shen Hetu and I were the same person, and Shen Hetu is the ruler of Great Qin, then I should also be the ruler of Great Qin. If I am the ruler of Great Qin but have no Luck on me, are you saying the Second Prince is blind?"
The Second Prince immediately turned to look at Ru Lai. "Hmph, Ru Lai, he has no Luck power on him; he is not a member of a Destiny Dynasty!"
"Furthermore, he is Shen Xuansheng, not the Emperor of Qin, Shen Hetu!"
Ru Lai: "???"
Shen Xuansheng cupped his hands. "The Second Prince has a Wisdom Eye. I wonder who told the Second Prince that I was the one who did it?"
The Second Prince nodded. "It was someone from the Yang Family."
Ru Lai: "...!"
"Young Sect Master Shen, I apologize. This prince was mistaken," the Second Prince apologized.
Shen Xuansheng said, "It's fine. It's understandable that the Second Prince was momentarily unobservant and deceived by others. The Second Prince has the Great Night Imperial Dynasty at heart; this is the sign of a true emperor!"
Second Prince Ye Hao immediately laughed. "Young Sect Master Shen is right!"
Ru Lai roared at once, "Shen Hetu is Shen Xuansheng's Clone!"
Second Prince Ye Hao retorted, "Ru Lai, stop making a scene. Even if it were a Clone, it would still carry the Luck of Great Qin. Do you really think my Great Night Imperial Dynasty's Qi-Observation Technique is fake?"
"He is Shen Xuansheng of the Jiesheng Sect, not the Emperor of Qin, Shen Hetu!"
"You don't even know you've been tricked!" Ye Hao said disdainfully. "You fool!"
Ru Lai: "???"
