Tantai Mingyue said calmly, "Tianxu has indeed nurtured me, and I have always carried out the tasks Tianxu entrusted to me."
"Over these years, I have also continuously brought glory to Tianxu."
"Therefore, I have never wronged Tianxu, much less anyone else."
As she spoke, her tone shifted. "But there is one thing you may have gotten wrong."
"It is true that I, Tantai Mingyue, am a disciple of Tianxu, but that does not mean I will act against my conscience."
"You..." Chen Tianyuan's fury flared even higher.
What did she mean, she would not act against her conscience? For the greater good of one's faction, what could one not do?
This was simply utter nonsense, utter nonsense!!!
Just then, Xuanyuan Hongshan spoke again. "For now, I will assume you are right about all that. But those who died were not only Zhan Yuan Haoyu from my Lineage. There were also people from the Jiang Clan, the Feng Clan, and the Mo Clan."
"If things truly happened as you said, if Xiao Yu and the Primordial Era Beings had set a trap to kill all of you, then why were the ones who died precisely those from Xiao Yu's team?"
"Yet not a single person from your two teams died. What kind of protection is that? What kind of savior is that?"
"Do you really think we are fools? Do you think this explanation holds water?"
At those words, everyone's eyes flickered, and their hearts gave a jolt.
What Xuanyuan Hongshan had said was indeed a loophole.
If Murong Qingcheng could not explain it, then everything would fall apart.
Zhan Yuan Hongshan could even claim that Murong Qingcheng and the others had stood by and watched them die.
That way, Xuanyuan Hongshan could also use this to divert everyone's attention.
