141: Chapter 141 A Close Call, the Xiao Family

Dead silence!

Absolute dead silence!

On the mountain gate square, the atmosphere instantly froze. Everyone's expression turned strange as they looked at the eloquent Jian Wuchen.

Wang Yun's face was full of gloom as he looked at the calm Jian Wuchen. Such words implied that the perpetrator behind the deep pit that day was Hun Tiandi.

Even Old Monster Yan, who was walking through the air, was stunned by Jian Wuchen's words.

"Is Jian Wuchen a core disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion?"

"At this moment, Old Monster Yan also concluded that the mysterious person who killed Ling Yuan and the others was the composed youth before him..."

Old Monster Yan sneered and said, "The Yun Tian Sword Talisman is the key to proving your innocence. Hand it over."

Wang Yun still found it hard to imagine that a teenage boy, even with the help of a sword talisman, could kill a Dou King expert.

At that time, many experts from various factions were present and died on the spot.

It was truly somewhat absurd.

Jian Wuchen's words seemed just but were actually extremely laughable. With his status, he wouldn't say such absurd things for no reason.

"Wuchen, have you thought this through? This matter is of great importance..." Wang Yun looked at Jian Wuchen with a serious tone.

"What this disciple says is no lie." Jian Wuchen bowed respectfully, but as he lowered his head, a faint smile flickered at the corner of his mouth.

It vanished in an instant as he roared in his heart, "Yun Tian, let's see if you die this time. Last time, that waste Ling Yuan failed to kill you and died by your hand instead. Let's see how you escape this time!"

Everyone present focused their gaze on Hun Tiandi. If it were true, then this youth named Yun Tian was truly extraordinary.

Elder Nie Yun murmured, "Is it possible that Yun Tian has been hiding his strength, and what he's showing now is just the tip of the iceberg?"

At this moment, Hun Tiandi looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and chuckled, "Senior Yan, I am also deeply saddened by the death of the Starfall Pavilion elder and disciples. But how could I, a mere Great Dou Master, casually kill a Dou King expert like Elder Li?"

"A year ago, I was in Cangyun Town and hadn't joined the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. Wherever your Starfall Pavilion's young master was killed, that debt shouldn't be pinned on me."

"When I entered the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the Pavilion Master once bestowed two sword talismans upon me. However, during my year of training outside, they were used at Qifeng Mountain to fend off powerful enemies..."

"A month ago, Ling Yuan and his party were killed. Where did you get the information that I was the killer? Over the past year, there have been dozens of frictions between the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and the Starfall Pavilion. I suspect your Starfall Pavilion is deliberately slandering and provoking me to achieve some goal, using it as an excuse to start a war between the two pavilions."

"And the evidence you speak of is just Senior Brother Jian's one-sided story. Besides, I'm not even close to him. To try and label me a murderer based on that, don't you think it's too laughable, Senior?"

Old Monster Yan looked coldly at the calm Hun Tiandi, naturally knowing there was no substantial evidence.

Unless Ling Yuan and his group came back to life and testified in person.

However, this grand excursion to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was personally ordered by Pavilion Master You Quan; it wasn't up to him to decide.

"Today, no matter what, I must capture Yun Tian and bring him back to the Starfall Pavilion," Old Monster Yan whispered.

After Hun Tiandi's questioning, a strange silence fell over the mountain gate square.

Swoosh...

Suddenly, several streaks of light sped from a distance. Dou Qi wings fluttered, and the violent energy of heaven and earth surged, carrying a towering gale toward the crowd.

The light dissipated to reveal a group of people. Hun Tiandi looked up, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

"Jun Yao greets the seniors..." The newcomer was indeed Tang Junyao. She bowed slightly, her beautiful eyes scanning the surroundings.

Beside her was Mr. Shui Xing, whom he had met once before. He gently fanned himself with a feather fan, looking on calmly.

Old Monster Yan's gaze suddenly shifted to Tang Junyao. He said solemnly, "Miss Jun Yao, you were also present that day. Did you see if the person who killed Ling Yuan was the youth named Yun Tian before us?"

Facing such an inquiry, Tang Junyao did not answer immediately. Her beautiful eyes fixed on the handsome face, constantly sizing him up.

With Tang Junyao's appearance, everyone on the square looked at her.

The smile in the depths of Jian Wuchen's eyes was hard to suppress. That day, while chasing the Tianxuan Crown Prince, besides the people from the Starfall Pavilion, Tang Junyao from the Burning Flame Valley was also present.

After a long while, Tang Junyao withdrew her gaze and said, "Senior Yan, the youth who killed Ling Yuan that day used a blue longsword. As for that person's name... it was Yun Tian."

Hearing Tang Junyao's words, the faces of Wang Yun, Elder Nie Yun, and the others changed drastically.

Yun Tian?

Wasn't that the name of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's Yun Tian? Could the killer really be him?

At this moment, Jian Wuchen was ecstatic.

At this moment, Hun Tiandi's face darkened completely.

At this moment, everyone's eyes gathered on the youth in green robes. The deathly silent square erupted into a massive uproar.

Hun Tiandi took a deep look at Tang Junyao. He suddenly took a step forward, immediately drawing the attention of the Starfall Pavilion elders. Dou Qi swirled around him, ready to explode into an earth-shattering strike at any moment.

Old Monster Yan said coldly, "It's you, Yun Tian! This cannot be faked."

"There are countless people named Yun Tian on the continent. Could it be that anyone named Yun Tian is the killer of Ling Yuan?"

Hun Tiandi said playfully.

Hearing the youth's provocative words, Old Monster Yan's face turned completely cold. Hun Tiandi also let himself go; today's matter would not be easily resolved.

He said coldly, "Please bring out real evidence, Senior. It's better not to blindly trust others. Your Starfall Pavilion is powerful, but doing this damages the Starfall Pavilion's prestige."

"Since that's the case, Mr. Yun Tian, please come with this old man to the Starfall Pavilion. You can stay as a guest until the matter is cleared up."

Old Monster Yan shouted coldly and waved his sleeve. The Dou King experts behind him lunged toward Yun Tian.

They wanted Yun Tian.

Wang Yun's figure flickered, Dou Qi surging. He instantly blocked the way in front of Yun Tian. Without a word, both sides began to fight.

"Come here!" Old Monster Yan suddenly attacked. The void distorted, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Hun Tiandi's expression changed. Just as he was about to take out the Human Puppet to block this lethal blow, the space behind him fluctuated, and an aged palm reached out from behind him.

It forcefully met Old Monster Yan's attack. A powerful surge of energy erupted, creating a tide between heaven and earth, knocking Old Monster Yan back in one go.

"Who is it?" Old Monster Yan barked sharply.

"Old Monster Yan, you dare try to seize a disciple of my Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion? Have you grown tired of living?" An aged voice came from deep within the mountain gate, followed by the appearance of an old figure out of thin air.

"Jian Liuxing, you're actually still alive?" Old Monster Yan looked at the old man before him in great shock.

Jian Liuxing was a ruthless man with peerless swordsmanship and immense strength. Rumor had it that his lifespan was nearly exhausted and he had already passed away.

At this point, both sides stopped fighting and pulled back.

Chirp...

In the distance, several figures flew over. A sky-shaking beast roar vibrated through the firmament. Wings carrying a fierce wind moved as fast as lightning, arriving before them in the blink of an eye.

"A Rank 6 Magic Beast, Luanfeng."

Covered in blue-green feathers with sharp claws, several figures on its back radiated powerful auras.

Hun Tiandi froze. On the back of the Luanfeng, he saw a beautiful figure. Dressed in a silver-white moon robe, with arched eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her black hair fell like a waterfall, her skin was like jade, and her slender figure exuded a noble aura.

"Yu Xiao?"

The peerless beauty with whom he had shared a night of pleasure. Behind her followed people with powerful auras.

"Miss Xiao Yuer of the Xiao Family?" Old Monster Yan said solemnly, staring at the woman atop the Luanfeng.
