Capítulo 1429: Chapter 1430: Chain of Schemes (1)
Long Zaitian’s face twitched imperceptibly, and he sneered, “What act is Miss An putting on? How exactly have I offended you that you’d bring this traitor to wreak havoc? Or is there some kind of mischief between the two of you?”
Chiang Yu’s face darkened, and his eyes instantly turned cold. “Long Zaitian, stop spouting nonsense! Over the years, I have been oppressed by you, watching you turn the Xuanqing Sect into a mess. Look around all Jinyin City, who doesn’t know that you, Grand Master Long, are ruthless, tyrannical, and dictatorial! Do you think that killing me will let you sleep easy? Impossible!”
“A traitor of the Xuanqing Sect dares to speak such nonsense. Miss An, it seems in his eyes, your authority is insufficient!” Long Zaitian began to sow discord, attempting to change the subject.
“Long Zaitian, you don’t need to try and stir up trouble between Xiao Qing and myself! Do you think everyone is as petty and narrow-minded as you?” Chiang Yu glared at Long Zaitian, speaking with articulate enunciation, “Back then, I was really blind to let you ascend to the position of Sect Leader! If I had known that the Old Sect Leader’s and the two young masters’ deaths were your doing, this beast, I would have had you dismembered by five horses to honor their spirits in heaven!”
The previously quiet banquet hall suddenly erupted, with everyone displaying looks of shock and disbelief, and the crowd began to murmur.
“Is it true? Was the Old Sect Leader’s death orchestrated by Sect Leader Long? That can’t be possible?!”
“Exactly! Sect Leader Long is the Old Sect Leader’s son, how could he do such a thing?”
“What son? Haven’t you heard? Seems like Sect Leader Long is the Old Sect Leader’s adopted son, not blood-related! Thinking this way, it’s actually not impossible. Never mind being an adopted son, even as a biological son, how many can resist the temptation of power!”
“Hey, you make a good point! It’s quite possible that the Old Sect Leader and his two sons were all killed by Sect Leader Long! In the martial world, such things aren’t surprising!”
“But there’s no evidence now, this is all just one side of Chiang Yu’s story! Maybe Long Zaitian will turn it around and accuse him of framing, wouldn’t that be interesting!”
The voices weren’t quiet, and Long Zaitian heard every word clearly, his face growing darker, as still as stagnant water.
“Chiang Yu, speak with evidence! I, Long Zaitian, have walked righteously and done justly, worthy of my father’s earnest teachings, and will not let you slander me like this! Come, seize this traitor for me! I want to see who dares to back him up letting him speak such nonsense!”
This seemed spoken to Chiang Yu, but Long Zaitian’s gaze remained fixed on An Yiqing, with a clear undertone of insinuation.
Faced with Long Zaitian’s murderous stare, An Yiqing chuckled lightly, showing no concern for him. She waved her hand gently, and An Zhifeng perceptively stepped out.
“Sect Leader Long, Uncle Chiang is now under my protection. If you want to apprehend him, you’ll have to ask for my permission first. But before that, I have some things I want everyone to see!”
An Zhifeng took a portable mini projector and a small hard drive from his bag, connecting the power supply.
Watching An Zhifeng’s actions, Long Zaitian’s eyelids twitched violently. As he saw the hard drive in the other’s hand, an increasingly bad feeling intensified in his heart.
Just as he was about to order someone to stop An Zhifeng, he was held down firmly by Zhang Yufeng and others, unable to move.
Under the curious gaze of the crowd, An Zhifeng swiftly set up the projector and then turned off the hall’s main lights.
The hall’s lighting dimmed instantly, a soft beam of light shot out from the projector, directly hitting the wall.
