Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 98 The Truth
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. The tribesmen and leaders who came to watch the battle in the Western Miao Alliance could not believe their ears. Many people sat on the ground as if their backbones were taken away, muttering to themselves: "We lost, the undefeated legend of our Miao region has actually been defeated!"

Some even refused to accept the result directly, "I don't believe it! How could Yu Lao lose? This must be fake."

Among them, the Rongge tribe leader, Youlang, reacted most violently. He shouted loudly, "There must be something wrong! We didn't see the last move of Yu Lao and Tian Que Gu Ming just now. Who knows if someone intervened? Where is the Miao King? Where is the Miao King? We want a rematch!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Cangqiong said, despite his injuries, "It is true that I lost this battle, you don't have to be like this. Besides, after this battle, I have decided to retire. The Miao King has also shown you that he is capable of protecting the Miao area. You don't have to act under my banner anymore." After saying that, Yu Cangqiong walked out of the training ground without looking back, and retired with his niece Yunxiu.

Hearing Yu Cangkong's words before he left, the angry people in the Western Miao Alliance were suddenly speechless.

They dared to disobey the orders of the Miao Jiang royal court because they had Yu Cangqiong backing them up. Now that his backer has retired and said he would no longer be involved in Miao Jiang affairs, everyone has lost their confidence.

Chief Rongge shouted in the crowd: "Even if you want to retire, shouldn't Miaojiang give an explanation for the assassination of Chief Feiyan just now?" Under his deliberate guidance, the people of the Western Miao Alliance were outraged, and the tribal leaders who were still unwilling to give up the power in their hands reacted and began to incite the crowd.

"Youlang, you are inciting everyone here. Do you disagree with the result of the martial arts duel just now?" The speaker was Linghan, the leader of the Owl Feather tribe who was seriously injured because the Miao King blocked the arrow.

She was accompanied by the Miao King, the royal guards and other guards.

She was seen walking in front of the Western Miao Alliance with the help of the Miao King's guards, and loudly scolded You Lang who had just provoked them. At this time, the Miao King was ordering his imperial doctors and guards to help the Hanque King (Tianque Guming), who had just fought a big battle, to rest and recuperate.

When Chief Rongge saw Linghan, his momentum immediately dropped, but he still avoided the main point and pretended to be concerned about Linghan's injury and said, "Ah, it turns out to be Chief Xiaoyu. Why are you coming here instead of recuperating in the inner chamber?"

Ben Yin's hot temper made Ling Han seem particularly calm at this moment. He directly exposed the plan of the Rongge tribe leader and retorted: "Youlang, are you trying to change the subject? The result of this battle has been announced. We must abide by the previous agreement, accept the Mofeng policy promoted by the Miao King, and hand over the military power. What? Do you want to break the contract?"

But You Lang replied: "I don't mean to break the contract, but the leader of Feiyan tribe was assassinated in front of the Miao palace, and the murderer is unknown. We dare not give up the military power, fearing that something unexpected will happen."

Then he pretended to beg the Miao king and said, "Please give us justice, otherwise we dare not carry out this agreement!"

The many tribal leaders who followed Chief Rongge secretly admired his quick wit and followed suit, saying, "Your Majesty, please give us some justice, otherwise we dare not make this appointment!"

Some people even directly accused him, "Linghan, you are originally a member of the Western Miao Alliance. Someone in my alliance was assassinated, but you didn't think about finding the murderer and avenging him. Instead, you are helping the Miao King. What's the reason?"

"Yes, yes! Chief Owl Feather, you should stand on our side."

"Youlang, you guys!" Facing the crowd instigated by the Rongge tribe leader, Linghan was speechless for a moment.

"Thank you, Chief Xiaoyu, for your righteous words. Please be patient and leave this matter to me." It was the Miao King Cangyue Guming who had just dealt with the aftermath of the duel and came here to deal with the aftermath of the assassination.

Ling rarely saw this, so he stepped back and said to the minister, "It's the king."

When Youlang saw the Miao King coming, he pretended to beg and said, "We are here to see the king. Please find out the truth about the murder of the Feiyan tribe leader to reassure the tribesmen!"

Cangyue Guming avoided the main point and said: "The tribe leaders in the audience called me Your Majesty, it seems that everyone recognizes the result of this martial arts duel."

"We dare not care about the result of the duel, but we were in front of the palace when the Feiyan tribe leader was killed. We hope that the king will give us justice, otherwise we will never dare to give up our military power." The implication is that they are willing to abide by the bet, but they need military power to protect themselves because the Feiyan tribe leader was killed. Many tribe leaders in the Western Miao tribe also used this as an excuse to be unwilling to give up their power. At this time, a powerful voice came in, "Since the tribe leaders want the murderer,."

Cangyue Guming recognized the man at a glance and said, "I didn't expect the commander to come here."

The people who came were none other than the two pillars of Miaojiang, who commanded the most elite troops in Miaojiang, the commander of the Iron Army Guard, Tieqi Qiuyi.

When the people of Ximiao saw Tieqi coming here to ask for clothes, they were frightened by his power and kept silent.

Unexpectedly, Tieqi came to the Miao king and said something shocking, "Your Majesty, I, Tieqi, have come to you to plead guilty."

Cang Yue Gu Ming said indifferently: "Commander, your words are too serious. You have worked hard and made great contributions. How can you be guilty?"

"Reporting to the king, it was my failure in guarding our outer periphery that led to the assassination of Your Majesty and the leader of the Feiyan tribe, intending to destroy the internal unity of our Miao territory. This is the evidence I have obtained." Tieqi Qiuyi said as he handed the letter that he had prepared long ago to Cangyue Guming.

After Cangyue Guming read the letters carefully, he handed them to Youlang and said, "Yes! These letters are indeed related to the assassination. Please read them and circulate them to everyone, Chief Rongge."

After reading the letter, Youlang was shocked and said, "How could this be possible?"

This attracted the Xi Miao people to come forward and take the letter from him to read it. After reading it, they were all shocked and said, "How could this be! The leader of the Feiyan tribe actually dared to hire a killer to kill the king."

"More than that! Look at the contents of this letter. It says that he actually colluded with the Devil Sword Sect and wanted to kill the king and everyone present with a hidden fire bomb."

(Only a few clan leaders and high-ranking officials in the Western Miao Alliance were connected with the Magic Sword Sect. The Magic Sword Sect sent only some generals led by Si Quan, as well as the Three Yin Witches who could summon the Magic Nightmare Army at any time and some guards to support them. The marching method was mainly stealth. The vast majority of the Western Miao tribesmen did not know that the Magic Sword Sect was supporting them.)
Seeing that everyone was shaken by his letters, You Lang said, "Everyone, wait a minute! This matter has not been concluded yet. We cannot judge whether the leader of the Feiyan clan has joined the Demon Sword Sect just by looking at the letters in front of us. Moreover, if he really joined the Demon Sword Sect, why was he killed by the Demon Sword Sect?"

Linghan, who had been silent until now, spoke up at this moment: "That's because he is no longer of any value to the Demon Sword Sect. When the Demon Sword Sect failed to kill the Miao King, they changed their target to him, hoping to cause the Western Miao people to misunderstand the royal court. And I accidentally saw through his plan with the Demon Sword Sect, and I despise his actions."

"That being said, it is indeed possible."

"Yes. Look, Chief Owl Feather, who should have been the most opposed to Mo Feng's policies, saved the king today. He must be disgusted by being associated with the Devil Sword Path."

"Makes sense."

Seeing that Chief Xiaoyu was so supportive of the Miao King and that the Western Miao people had been persuaded by him, Youlang pretended to be angry and said, "Linghan! You.!"
