144: Chapter 144 Ineffective Struggle! Why? The Heavenly Demon's Choice!

"Explanation?"

"What explanation do I need to give you? Are you even qualified to teach me how to act!?"

Lu Qingyun stared at Elder Wu Shuo calmly, the spittle from his words spraying directly onto his face.

Because of his tall stature, he was currently looking down on Elder Wu Shuo from a position of superiority!

Although his cultivation level was an entire major realm lower than Elder Wu Shuo's.

At this moment, however, the status between the two seemed to have been reversed!

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

[Talent: Heart-Inducing (Can manipulate the emotions of living beings)]

Under the influence of a fluctuation that no one had noticed, after seeing Lu Qingyun's posture and hearing his response, Elder Wu Shuo's expression became excited at a speed visible to the naked eye, his face suffused with an unnatural flush.

As if he had caught some incriminating evidence, his voice suddenly became louder!

"You have a guilty conscience!"

"You dare not respond to me directly; it must be because you are an undercover agent lurking in my Heavenly Demon Sect! That is why you didn't kill the students and teachers of Jingdu Martial Arts University, but instead were incomparably ruthless to my Heavenly Demon Sect disciples!"

"Hahaha! What qualifications do you have to achieve the position of Holy Son!? The people I worked so hard to cultivate were easily killed by you!"

"At that time, did you ever think that you would have a day like this too!"

Elder Wu Shuo's appearance at this moment was as if his reason had been completely incinerated by the fire of jealousy!

A series of gazes also fell upon him as a result.

The White-bearded Old Man clearly looked full of disappointment, and he shook his head.

And this scene, seen by Elder Wu Shuo, was mistaken for the reason that the White-bearded Old Man was disappointed in Lu Qingyun, making the joy on his face even stronger.

Only...

Not only did Lu Qingyun not show any panic at having his identity exposed.

Instead, like everyone else, he looked at him with the gaze one would use for a mentally disabled person.

Leng Qianmo said abruptly: "Let alone whether any force would be stupid enough to send such a good seedling as an undercover agent, even if it were true, Lu Qingyun has already cultivated the Heavenly Demon Arts to an extremely profound level..."

He did not continue, but everyone knew.

After cultivating the Heavenly Demon Arts, whether you truly believe in the Heavenly Demon or not, you will eventually become a true believer!

"So what!?"

"The incident is not without exceptions; isn't that Natural Demon Seed named Mu Susu an example!"

Elder Wu Shuo was still unconvinced.

A certain emotion in his heart was constantly influencing him, causing the gaze he cast at Lu Qingyun to carry an irrepressible anger!

A kind of... urge to tear the person in front of him to shreds!

"I won't argue with you anymore. Whether it's true... we'll know once we capture you and interrogate you!"

To everyone's surprise, Elder Wu Shuo chose to attack directly at this moment!

Because he was closest to Lu Qingyun, and many people hadn't even reacted, Elder Wu Shuo's arm had already pierced through Lu Qingyun's abdomen!

"Waa—!!"

A mouthful of old blood that had been brewing for a long time finally found an opportunity to be sprayed out!

The quantity was large and abundant, spraying very high.

It dyed the long table in front red and splattered onto the faces of many elders!

The scalding blood stimulated Elder Wu Shuo's arm, causing his emotions to gradually calm down a little.

It was also because of this that he realized what a stupid thing he had just done!

"Elder Wu Shuo! You are courting death!!"

Leng Qianmo's voice suddenly turned icy, like frost in the twelfth lunar month, piercing into the marrow!

Furthermore, it was not just him!

At the same time, all the elders, along with the White-bearded Old Man among them, also attacked together.

In an instant, they captured Elder Wu Shuo, who had not resisted!

"No... it's not that, that wasn't my original intention..."

After Elder Wu Shuo was suppressed on the ground, looking at his arm that had been stained red with blood, his eyes were filled with... bewilderment.

His memory of what had just happened was not blurred.

There were no traces of being manipulated.

His actions were entirely from his own heart!

But precisely because of this... even he himself found it hard to accept that he had actually acted so recklessly on such an occasion!

Directly attacking Lu Qingyun!

Was he crazy?

Thump—!

Lu Qingyun's body, like a loach, slid down softly without any support.

He opened his mouth, and blood continued to gush out.

His state was extremely miserable.

But the problem was...

Others might not know about that blow just now, but Elder Wu Shuo himself was very clear about it!

Although he had struck in anger, he had only added a portion of his Divine Intent power to it.

It could injure Lu Qingyun, but it definitely couldn't do this much damage.

And...

Why was this wound getting bigger and bigger, continuing to deteriorate even without contact!?

A dignified Sky-Walking Grandmaster, not even having this little self-healing ability.

This is pure nonsense!

"Cough, cough—! Master..."

Lu Qingyun's breath was weak, looking like he was about to die.

Leng Qianmo hurriedly stepped forward, took his hand, his eyes full of pain!

"Master is here!"

Immediately, Lu Qingyun's gaze turned to the White-bearded Old Man, and he continued to say in that voice that could stop breathing at any moment: "That position of Holy Son..."

"The position of Holy Son is definitely yours, my good disciple! Everything that old ugly monster Elder Wu Shuo said is just bullshit! Who among those present couldn't hear it!"

Leng Qianmo followed up very smoothly.

Only...

"The position of Holy Son..."

The White-bearded Old Man's eyes were complex, and he was silent for a moment.

He was struggling, wondering if it was appropriate to say it at this time.

After all, looking at this... it was quite lively.

Finally, he chose to announce it directly.

"To be precise, it should be... the position of Holy Maiden, held by Mu Susu."

Silence—

After he finished announcing, the whole scene was incomparably quiet.

Even Elder Wu Shuo on the ground stopped struggling, a flash of astonishment and surprise appearing in his eyes.

Leng Qianmo let go of Lu Qingyun's hand.

Lu Qingyun also wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and climbed back up.

The old woman on the side who had not moved from the beginning nodded at them, her face showing no surprise.

Obviously, she had known for a long time.

And Elder Wu Shuo, who was still being suppressed, heard this answer and slapped himself hard a few times!

"Why?"

Lu Qingyun spoke in a calm tone.

The reply he got was...

"All of this is the Heavenly Demon's choice!"
