Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"What is it?"

The White-Browed Venerable's eyebrows twitched slightly as he turned towards the Empty Sword.

Chang Wen also looked at Kong Jian, wondering what the old man was up to.

"We humbly request that Your Excellency uphold justice for our Taixu Sword Sect."

Kong Jian didn't hesitate and went straight to the point:

"Chang Wen, with his peak Tribulation Transcending cultivation, killed a fourth-level Mahayana cultivator. This is unprecedented in history. How could it happen in reality?"

"Considering that Chang Wen was sent back by the demon race's high-ranking officials before entering Zhenmo Peak, I suspect that Chang Wen may be secretly colluding with the demon race. If this is not investigated quickly, he will surely cause trouble in the Northern Wilderness and even disrupt the peace of the Imperial Continent. I urge Your Excellency to investigate thoroughly."

The White-Browed Venerable was slightly taken aback. "There is indeed something strange about this matter, but it's unlikely that Chang Wen is colluding with the demons. If he were truly colluding, he would have done so secretly and discreetly, not easily discovered. Why would he openly associate with the demons?"

Everyone agreed.

Chang Wen's heart stirred slightly. He hadn't expected the White-Browed Venerable to speak up for him, and his goodwill towards him increased a little.

Kong Jian refused to give up and continued:

"Chang Wen is the foremost talent in the Northern Wilderness, and his stance is extremely crucial to us. Even if there's only a sliver of a possibility, we must take it seriously. If Chang Wen had absolutely no connection to the Demon Clan, why would the Demon Clan's higher-ups personally send him out?"

"I have my own judgment on this matter, you don't need to bring it up again."

The White-Browed Venerable probably knew the whole story, but he didn't explain it to Kong Jian.

Kong Jian's expression remained unchanged, then his gaze shifted to Jiang Daolin at the Holy Alliance:

"It is long known that the Holy Alliance and the Demon Race are sworn enemies. Now that Chang Wen has colluded with the Demon Race, the Sky Patrol Division refuses to give us an explanation. We urge the Holy Alliance to take action, investigate Chang Wen's background, and restore peace to our Northern Wilderness."

At this point, Kong Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he was no longer needed.

Jiang Daolin stood with one hand behind his back, glancing at the empty sword. "Don't worry, senior. Our Holy Alliance will not let anyone who might be connected to the demons go unpunished."

He looked at Chang Wen and said, "Young friend, please explain the whole story so that everyone can hear what really happened."

"If you don't explain, I'm afraid no one will be at ease."

Although the tone was ordinary, it was not difficult to hear the natural command in his voice.

Everyone looked at Chang Wen, wanting to hear his explanation. This was still necessary.

"Chang Wen, just tell us the truth. We'll take care of everything for you."

Lin Baoding and other peak masters transmitted their voices to Chang Wen.

This matter must be explained clearly in front of everyone, otherwise Chang Wen will definitely suffer countless public pressures in the future and will find it difficult to move forward.

Chang Wen nodded, and his voice carried:

"Everyone, after entering the Demon Suppression Platform, I learned by chance about the Demon Clan's five-hundred-year plan. They want to destroy the Demon Suppression Peak Formation, which I believe is obvious to all of you, so I will not say more."

"Having learned of their plan, I naturally had to find a way to sabotage it and ensure the safety of my Haoran disciples."

All the disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect looked at Chang Wen with fanaticism in their eyes.

Regardless of whether Chang Wen is human or demon, he is the senior disciple of their sect in their hearts.

They don't recognize copyright, they only recognize IP.

Chang Wen continued without pausing, "In the process of destroying the array's core, I forged a deep grudge with the Three Demons of the Northern Wilderness."

"Everyone saw what happened next."

"In order to activate the great formation as usual, the three demons of the Northern Wilderness personally repaired the formation's core and then descended upon Demon Suppression Peak."

"At that time, I seized the opportunity to destroy its core, which stopped the formation from operating."

The cultivators from the Northern Wilderness showed gratitude in their eyes.

If it weren't for Chang Wen, they might have perished along with the Demon-Suppressing Peak Formation.

"And then?"

Jiang Daolin remained expressionless and continued to ask.

"After that, I was captured by the Great Demon."

Chang Wen responded as usual, "They anticipated that I would make a move when their formation was activated, so they sent people to wait at the formation's core well in advance. As soon as I destroyed the core, they captured me."

"After capturing me, they didn't kill me. Instead, they safely sent me back to Zhenmo Peak, intending to subject me to public opinion and use the human race to kill me."

Jiang Daolin's eyes flickered slightly. "You mean the demons captured you but didn't kill you, and now they want us to kill you? Don't you think... that's a bit redundant?"

"I don't know. If you're so capable, you can go to the Demon Suppression Platform and ask them what they think."

Chang Wen spoke calmly.

"So you mean you can't completely prove that you didn't collude with the demons?"

Jiang Daolin remained expressionless and spoke directly, as if it were a pronouncement from the heavens.

"The innocent are innocent; why should I need to prove it?"

Chang Wen's face showed a hint of displeasure. "If you really want to accuse me, then produce evidence of my collusion with the demons. Otherwise, don't waste my time here."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Jiang Daolin stood there, stunned.

The hundreds of millions of cultivators present all stared wide-eyed.

No, Chang Wen even dares to defy important figures in the Holy Alliance?

"Young and impetuous."

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Daolin's eyes, which he concealed well. Smiling, he surveyed his surroundings and slowly began, "Fellow Daoists of the Northern Wilderness, do you know why I have come here?"

After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he looked at Chang Wen again and said, "It's because of him."

"Twenty-seven years ago, the head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion of our Holy Alliance deduced the star orbit, and a star fell on the map of the Northern Wilderness."

"This star is neither one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions nor one of the Three Enclosures. The celestial signs indicate that demonic energy has broken free of its seal, and a great demon has descended upon the world."

The demonic energy has broken free of its seal, and a great demon has descended upon the world!

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Jiang Daolin's meaning was crystal clear: he was saying that Chang Wen would become a scourge to the world.

That's quite a big hat.

Under the spotlight.

Chang Wen frowned slightly. "What does the matter predicted by your Holy Alliance have to do with me?"

"I understand how you feel right now, but please don't get agitated."

Jiang Daolin slowly opened his mouth and continued, "When the prophecy appeared, our Holy Alliance had already discussed that as long as no demonic signs appeared in the Northern Wilderness, our Holy Alliance would definitely not interfere with the life and death of others because of a prophecy. But now, we have no choice but to take action."

Chang Wen looked directly at Jiang Daolin and said, "Give me a reason why you have no choice but to take action."

Everyone looked at Jiang Daolin.

Jiang Daolin concealed his emotions once again and took out a photo stone as usual.

"I was thinking that if you had a better attitude, I might have let you off the hook and taken you back to the Holy Alliance to be properly disciplined. But since you insist on doing this, then I will reveal your secret to the public."

After saying that, he poured a wisp of spiritual energy into the recording stone.

A massive screen of true essence, thousands of feet in size, appeared in the public eye and was clearly visible to all the cultivators present.

The content playing inside successfully stunned them into standing still.

Chang Wen's heart also involuntarily jumped.

The content in the image is not fake; it is the real footage of him switching back and forth between the human and demon races when he entered the Demon Suppression Platform!

"Holy shit..."

Chang Wen realized that this was a big deal.
