Sowing discord

As soon as Xiao Feng said this, the atmosphere at the scene instantly froze.

The confidants looked at Sun Yuanjie with suspicious eyes.

The confidants all knew that Sun Yuanjie usually could not stand Xuanyuan Jian.

Even within the Tianyi Sect, one often heard Sun Yuanjie reprimanding Xuanyuan Jian.

It was just that Sun Yuanjie never went too far with his words.

However, the reason Xuanyuan Jian went missing was indeed because he was not with Sun Yuanjie.

Even if Sun Yuanjie deliberately omitted this matter in the messages he sent back, the confidants knew in their hearts that if Xuanyuan Jian could not be found, Sun Yuanjie would indeed bear the primary responsibility.

"Furthermore, your Young Sect Leader told me that Sun Yuanjie has always coveted his position. Sun Yuanjie believes that since he is the Senior Brother of the Tianyi Sect and the eldest disciple of the Tianyi Sect Master, he deserves it."

"If it weren't for the fact that Xuanyuan Jian is the biological son of the Tianyi Sect Master, it would never have been his turn to sit in that Young Sect Leader position. That position should have belonged to Sun Yuanjie, and Sun Yuanjie usually thinks so himself. Is that true or false?"

At such a critical juncture, Xiao Feng actually turned the tables and asked the confidants about the internal situation of the Tianyi Sect.

The confidants naturally did not want to air their dirty laundry in public, so they glanced at Sun Yuanjie beside them and did not answer Xiao Feng's question.

The confidant replied coldly: "Don't even think about wasting time here. Hurry up and confess honestly, where exactly have you hidden our Young Sect Leader!"

Xiao Feng put on an anxious expression: "The questions I asked you are precisely to help you find your Young Sect Leader. You only need to tell me if what I just asked is true or false!"

The confidant spoke impatiently: "So what if it's true? Are you trying to say that he harmed our Young Sect Leader?"

The confidant was originally just mocking Xiao Feng's clumsy tactic of stalling for time.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Xiao Feng actually nodded solemnly and then said: "I already know Xuanyuan Jian's true identity."

"And I know that if I were to lay a hand on him, it would inevitably bring the enmity of the Tianyi Sect upon me. Why would I want to cause such big trouble for myself?"

"It's not like you don't know the current situation of the Ming Cult. There is no need for me to provoke such an opponent for the Ming Cult. Besides, I do not deny that we did indeed have a great battle in that Mountain Forest."

"But after your Young Sect Leader and his followers realized they couldn't defeat us, they used a diversionary tactic and left. Naturally, I couldn't go after them, so I returned directly to the Ming Cult."

"Since your Senior Brother can describe Xuanyuan Jian's situation in such detail, is there a possibility that he found the injured Xuanyuan Jian, killed him, and then framed me for it?"

"In battle, swords have no eyes. Your Young Sect Leader was indeed injured, but I did not pursue him, and there are no other Sects near our Ming Cult."

"Even if Xuanyuan Jian was truly injured, he must have the Magical Artifact given to him by his father. Unless it was someone he completely trusted, the Magical Artifacts he possessed would be enough to ensure his safety."

Although Xiao Feng's back was still being pressed by Sun Yuanjie's long sword.

Yet, when Xiao Feng said these words, he was not at all worried that Sun Yuanjie would kill him in a fit of rage.

Moreover, upon careful consideration, the situation Xiao Feng described was not impossible.

"Since you came to find me, you must know my situation in the Ming Cult. I have no need to offend the Tianyi Sect, let alone bring disaster upon the Ming Cult."

"If Xuanyuan Jian were really in my hands, or if I had really killed him, before I knew his true identity, could I really have hidden my tracks in front of him without revealing any flaws?"

"He didn't find your Young Sect Leader in the Ming Cult, nor did he find any of your Young Sect Leader's Magical Artifacts here. Isn't that enough to prove that your Young Sect Leader never fell into my hands at all?"

"He brought you here, making you mistakenly believe that I was the one who acted against your Young Sect Leader, isn't that just trying to use your hands to kill me? He wants me to die at your hands and make me bear the crime of harming your Young Sect Leader."

"Killing your Young Sect Leader brings me no benefits other than offending the Tianyi Sect. But if he kills your Young Sect Leader, no one in the entire Tianyi Sect can compete with him for the position of Young Sect Leader anymore! Who is the beneficiary? Don't you understand?"

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he quickly used his movement technique to shift himself between Sun Yuanjie and the confidants.

Seeing Xiao Feng escape from his subordinates, Sun Yuanjie immediately prepared to strike.

However, the confidant blocked Sun Yuanjie's move.

"Sun Yuanjie, is what Xiao Feng said true?" The confidant looked at Sun Yuanjie with cold eyes.

Sun Yuanjie's status and position were indeed somewhat awkward.

They did not deny that Sun Yuanjie was indeed exceptionally talented and was indeed more suitable than Xuanyuan Jian to sit in the position of Young Sect Leader.

But since the Tianyi Sect Master had not given the Young Sect Leader position to Sun Yuanjie, Sun Yuanjie had no right to compete for it.

If Sun Yuanjie had really killed Xuanyuan Jian to obtain the Tianyi Sect, they must pass this information back to the Tianyi Sect.

They must let the Sect Master know about Sun Yuanjie's wild ambitions.

Sun Yuanjie naturally saw that the looks these confidants were giving him had changed.

Sun Yuanjie was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

He had gone to such great lengths, and it was not easy to capture Xiao Feng, but in the end, Xiao Feng had managed to persuade these idiots with just a few words!

Sun Yuanjie explained: "I usually have some unpleasantries with the Young Sect Leader, but it is impossible for me to act against him. Don't be fooled by this guy; he is cunning, this must be his trick."

"He is sowing discord. I have other tasks assigned to me by the Sect Master, and I did leave the Young Sect Leader behind in order to complete that task as quickly as possible. I also regret that I failed to protect the Young Sect Leader well."

"But now is not the time for us to have internal conflict. We must quickly ask him for the whereabouts of the Young Sect Leader, instead of being provoked by his words into killing each other!"

Sun Yuanjie's words made the suspicion in the confidants' hearts fade slightly.

But Sun Yuanjie also had suspicious points and motives to act, so the confidants no longer trusted Sun Yuanjie as much as before.

After glaring fiercely at Sun Yuanjie, they had made up their minds.

Once they returned safely this time, they would definitely tell the Sect Master about this matter.

Sun Yuanjie was a person with wild ambitions.

The Sect Master must prepare early.

Sun Yuanjie naturally saw the meaning in the confidant's eyes. He could not control himself, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

If Xuanyuan Jian was truly dead, then everyone present, except for him, must die.

Xiao Feng must die, and these confidants must also die.

Sun Yuanjie had been by the Tianyi Sect Master's side for so many years, so he naturally knew what kind of person the Tianyi Sect Master was.

Xiao Feng's words would definitely make the Tianyi Sect Master suspect him.

If he wanted to sit in the position of Young Sect Leader, he absolutely could not have any stains.

Only if everyone here died would this matter not be pinned on him.

Otherwise, once these confidants went back and spouted nonsense, his days in the Tianyi Sect would become even more difficult. He must not be soft-hearted.
