He refused to believe that the death of a President Commander would not be enough to bring down Yang Chen.
It had to be said that Yu Gang's intentions were good, but the moment his words fell, the expressions of the surrounding Great Emperors changed dramatically—even Jueming Great Emperor was no exception.
Yang Chen had not expected Yu Gang to bite back at him first. He was so furious that he laughed instead. Before he could defend himself, several Deputy Commanders could no longer stand it.
"Several Great Emperors, we are deeply saddened by Commander Long's death, but Yu Gang. No matter how miraculous Yang might be, could he possibly have controlled the timing of the ambush by pinching Commander Long's death?"
"Yu Gang, before you say something like that, use your brain. How could Yang, stationed in the rear, have noticed the situation at the front?"
"Ridiculous."
Yu Gang had not expected his reputation to be this dreadful. He had wanted to slap a label on Yang Chen first, yet in the end, everyone turned their spearheads toward him.
What he did not know was that he himself had committed an enormous mistake.
Of all times, he should never have brought this matter up right after Yang Chen had been praised by several Great Emperors. Even if Long Xingyu's death truly had something to do with Yang Chen, the Great Emperors would never punish Yang Chen over it.
For one thing, comparing Long Xingyu's value to Yang Chen's, even a fool could see who outweighed whom.
Secondly, those Great Emperors had just praised Yang Chen. If they turned around and punished him, would they not be slapping their own faces?
The several Deputy Commanders could all see this clearly, so without another word, they chose to help Yang Chen.
