When the voice of Immortal Venerable Taihua reached the ears of the immortals in Tianhua Palace, it immediately aroused their resentment.

What's wrong with this Immortal Venerable Taihua? They're all packing their things, so why is he summoning them at this time?

The most important thing right now isn't to pack your things quickly? Just tell them what needs to be said via telepathy.

Sending them to the council hall is a complete waste of time.

Despite their displeasure, the immortals of Tianhua Palace still went to the council hall, including Immortal Venerable Tianfeng.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng had a vague sense of unease, but he comforted himself, thinking that even if Immortal Venerable Chenlan suspected him of doing it, he could deny it, since Lu Chen had seen that it was Immortal Venerable Chenlan who had made the move.

If Tianhua Palace were to defend Immortal Venerable Chenlan, it would offend Lu Chen instead.

Soon, the immortal venerables gathered in the council hall. One immortal venerable said with dissatisfaction, "Palace Master, we are busy moving things. If you have something to say, you can just send us a message. There is no need to make us come all this way."

The Tianhua Palace is very large, and each Immortal Venerable is responsible for a wide area. Moreover, the Immortal Venerables gather at the locations of the Immortal Gates of the Tianhua Palace, which are all some distance away, so it takes some time to get there.

Running around like this repeatedly will naturally displease some of the immortals.

Immortal Venerable Taihua glanced at the immortals present. When he saw that Immortal Venerable Tianfeng was also among them, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had been worried that Immortal Venerable Tianfeng would flee Tianhua Palace immediately if things were exposed.

If Celestial Venerable Tianfeng escapes from Tianhua Palace, it will not be so easy to get rid of him. After all, he is a Celestial Venerable. If he hides, it will not be easy for others to find him. Moreover, if he goes directly to Blood Eagle Palace, Tianhua Palace will be even more helpless against him.

Immortal Venerable Taihua spoke directly: "Just now, an Immortal Venerable found Lu Chen and killed Fellow Daoist Lu's clone, attempting to incite Immortal Emperor Xiyue's dissatisfaction with Tianhua Palace and prevent Tianhua Palace from relocating to the Eastern Region. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Lu is righteous and did not hold it against us."

"But the fact that this person dared to attack Lu Chen means that he doesn't want Tianhua Palace to leave the Southern Region. Considering that the relocation of Tianhua Palace to the Eastern Region was leaked in advance, this person is very likely the one who leaked the information. He has probably already betrayed Tianhua Palace and become a lackey of the Evil Immortal."

Upon hearing Taihua Immortal Venerable's words, the immortals present exchanged glances. Those immortals who were closer to Lu Chen's residence had indeed felt a surge of power fluctuations just now, but they had not thought of it in that direction.

The Tianhua Palace is already in such a terrible situation, yet someone still dares to attack Lu Chen, the Daoist partner of Xiyue Immortal Emperor. If Lu Chen were to whisper in Xiyue Immortal Emperor's ear, not only would he be unable to go to the Eastern Region, but if Xiyue Immortal Emperor were to demand an explanation from Lu Chen, the Tianhua Palace could be destroyed prematurely.

At this moment, a Celestial Venerable stepped forward and said, "Who dares to be so bold! Do they intend to destroy the Heavenly Splendor Palace!"

Another immortal venerable said angrily, "Palace Master, who is this person? I will never let this person go!"

Immortal Venerable Taihua's words instantly ignited the anger of the Immortal Venerables of Tianhua Palace.

Tianfeng Immortal Venerable stood in the corner with a dark face. Although he felt a little uneasy, he firmly believed that Taihua Immortal Venerable would not suspect him.

No one could see through the disguise of the Transformation Mirror. He had used the Transformation Mirror in front of the Star River Immortal Venerable before, and even the Star River Immortal Venerable could not see through his true identity, let alone Lu Chen.

Just when Celestial Venerable Tianfeng was confident that he wouldn't be recognized, Celestial Venerable Taihua suddenly looked at him.

When he saw that Immortal Venerable Taihua was suddenly looking at him, Immortal Venerable Tianfeng's heart skipped a beat.

The Immortal Venerable's mental fortitude was remarkably strong; both were shrewd individuals who had lived for billions of years. When Immortal Venerable Taihua looked over, Immortal Venerable Tianfeng was already preparing how to deal with Taihua's question. When he attacked Lu Chen, he had considered that Immortal Venerable Taihua would definitely seek out Immortal Venerable Chenlan, and that Immortal Venerable Chenlan, in order to clear himself of suspicion, might reveal that he had gone to see him.

After regaining his composure, Celestial Venerable Tianfeng was preparing to address Celestial Venerable Taihua's questions when Celestial Venerable Taihua suddenly asked, "Elder Tianfeng, why did you attack Fellow Daoist Lu?"

Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Taihua's words, all the Immortal Venerables in the hall turned their gazes toward Immortal Venerable Tianfeng.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng was stunned for a moment. He thought Immortal Venerable Taihua would tell him about Immortal Venerable Chenlan's attack on Lu Chen and then ask him some questions. But Immortal Venerable Taihua immediately assumed that he was the one who did it.

Heavenly Wind Immortal Venerable said with a dark face, "Palace Master, what do you mean by this? When did I ever do such a thing?"

At this moment, a Celestial Venerable stepped forward and said, "Palace Master, isn't there some misunderstanding? How could Elder Tianfeng betray Tianhua Palace?"

It should be noted that Celestial Venerable Tianfeng is a staunch supporter of the resistance against the Blood Eagle Palace. If he were to betray the Heavenly Flower Palace and prevent it from leaving the Southern Region, he would be the first to suffer when the Blood Eagle Palace comes to settle scores.

Anyone could be a traitor, but the one least likely to be a traitor is Celestial Venerable Tianfeng.

Immortal Venerable Taihua said coldly, "Elder Tianfeng, do you think that just because Fellow Daoist Lu's avatar is dead, he doesn't know who attacked him?"

At this point, Immortal Venerable Taihua looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, who attacked you just now?"

Lu Chen looked at Immortal Venerable Tianfeng and said, "It is indeed Immortal Venerable Tianfeng."

Celestial Venerable Tianfeng was somewhat confused. Why didn't Lu Chen reveal that he had impersonated Celestial Venerable Chenlan, but instead immediately assumed that it was him who had done it?
How could Lu Chen possibly recognize him?

After regaining his senses, Celestial Venerable Tianfeng shouted, "Lu Chen, don't make false accusations! When did I ever attack you?"

"We can go to the place where Lu Chen used to live and see if there are any remnants of that immortal's aura left at the scene."

Taihua Immortal Venerable said calmly, "I just went there. You are very clever. You knew to clean up the scene before leaving, leaving not a trace of immortal energy. It's just a pity that you don't know that Lu Chen's avatar and main body are always connected in terms of divine sense."

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng was dumbfounded. What did Immortal Venerable Taihua mean by this? Did he admit that he was the one who attacked Lu Chen?
When he left, there was still a strong martial intent in the place where Lu Chen lived. Moreover, he was not stupid. How could he not know that there was a connection between Lu Chen's clone and the main body? That's why he said some nonsense to Lu Chen before he made his move.

As a result, Lu Chen immediately assumed that he had done it, without even needing to go through the reasoning process.

Although it was indeed him who did it, he impersonated Immortal Venerable Chenlan. They have to tell them the truth, right?
Immortal Venerable Tianfeng was in a very awkward situation. He couldn't reveal that Immortal Venerable Chenlan had attacked Lu Chen. If he did, it would be an admission of guilt, and everyone would immediately know that he was the one who did it.

But if he didn't say it, Lu Chen would insist that he was the one who did it.

Immortal Venerable Tianfeng then said to the other Immortal Venerables, "Don't believe Lu Chen, everyone. He's clearly trying to sow discord..."

Before Celestial Venerable Tianfeng could say anything more, Celestial Venerable Chenlan sighed and said, "Elder Tianfeng, I personally saw you go to Lu Chen's residence earlier." (End of Chapter)
