"We're not fools. There are only you and the Grand Elder here. If you didn't kill the Grand Elder, who else could it be?"
"Indeed, I saw it coming a while ago. This kid is definitely up to no good; he always acts suspiciously! His sudden visit to see the Grand Elder is certainly ill-intentioned!"
"The Grand Elder died just like that in my Red Peak Gang. You must give us, the members, an explanation."
"For the esteemed Elder to die before our very eyes is an act we will never allow to end!"
"To come up with such an idea to shirk responsibility? It's not that easy; it's incredibly naive!"
Faced with the accusations from the Red Peak Gang disciples, He Buxian was utterly speechless. These people were convinced that he had cruelly murdered the Grand Elder, and even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name.
"I advise you to think this through. If I really knew what had happened, would we be in this sorry state now?"
"Didn't any of you feel that chaotic energy that invaded my body just now? Are you all blind?"
"I was just controlled, I don't know why, I suddenly couldn't move, and everything in front of me turned into a white blur. Before I could react, I heard a sound coming from in front of me, and when I looked up, I saw the Grand Elder like this."
"How could I possibly kill the Grand Elder, a friend of such great age despite the age gap?"
"The Grand Elder seemed to want to say something to me earlier, but before he could even open his mouth, everything changed. I'm also puzzled by the current situation!"
After speaking at length, He Buxian looked anxious.
After all, he was furious that the Red Peak Gang members who rushed over after hearing the commotion had directly accused him of "murdering the Grand Elder."
However, as a disciple of the Primordial Hall, even though He Buxian's mind was in disarray, he had not completely lost the ability to think.
He could sense that the chaotic energy from just now might have had a huge impact on the situation!
Where did that chaotic energy come from, and why did it suddenly take control of me?
In the Three Thousand Immortal Realms, there are countless cultivators with abilities surpassing his, but those who can easily subdue him in an instant are extremely rare.
And it's not just rare; it's practically unheard of!
The chaotic power had even tried to invade his spiritual sea, but fortunately, with the help of the Hongmeng Token and He Buxian's own valiant resistance, the chaotic power was prevented from succeeding.
During this confrontation, He Buxian could sense that this power was very unfamiliar, as if he had never encountered it before.
If that's the case, then it definitely can't be someone I know.
After all, he didn't know the source of this power!
The Red Peak Gang cultivators seemed to have never imagined that, despite such "conclusive evidence," He Buxian could still remain calm and claim that he hadn't done anything.
With one side pressing the issue aggressively and the other filled with rage, the atmosphere seemed to fall into an extremely tense silence.
He Buxian was naturally furious. The Grand Elder's death was inexplicable, and as his close friend despite the age difference, how could he not be saddened?
But seeing these members of the Red Peak Gang blaming him without even asking any questions, He Buxian was utterly speechless.
He initially intended to explain calmly, but unfortunately, the enraged members of the Red Peak Gang wouldn't listen to a word he said.
In their view, no matter what He Buxian said, it was nothing but sophistry.
After all, the scene he just described was simply too unbelievable. How could a living, breathing person like the Grand Elder suddenly turn into stone out of thin air?
Moreover, isn't He Buxian from the Primordial Hall? If they remember correctly, what is the most abundant thing in the Primordial Hall? That's right, it's Origin Techniques!
Putting aside other things, just consider the source techniques that the senior sister of the Primordial Hall used when she fought against a powerful expert; there were already more than a dozen of them.
Ordinary cultivators have no idea about the wonders of Source Techniques; there's no guarantee that some Source Technique might possess such abilities.
So, it's highly likely that He Buxian used Origin Technique to ambush their Grand Elder!
"Stop talking nonsense. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
"There are only you and the Grand Elder here; there is no one else."
"What is this primordial chaos you speak of? Why haven't we sensed it at all?"
"That's strange. Why can't we see it, but you can? So, do you have any evidence to prove that what you're saying is true?"
"If you have nothing to offer, how can you expect us to believe your empty words?"
"I think this kid is just guilty and deliberately making excuses."
"So what if the Primordial Hall is powerful? I think our Red Peak Gang is no less formidable. This kid came to our Red Sun Immortal Realm, and he still has to beg us for favors. I think the Primordial Hall is nothing special!"
"Murderer, you are a complete and utter murderer!"
"There were only two people in total, besides you, it was the Grand Elder. Could it be that the Grand Elder committed suicide?"
Faced with a barrage of questions, He Buxian was thrown into disarray, and his spirit trembled slightly.
"Fellow Daoists, I've said it several times already, I really didn't kill the Grand Elder."
"And haven't you all considered this: you keep saying I killed the Grand Elder, but what was my motive for killing him? What benefit would I gain from killing him?"
"If I really did kill them, then I could have wiped you all out and fought my way out of here. With your strength, do you think you could be a match for me?"
"If I really did it, why would I bother explaining myself to you all here!"
However, to He Buxian's dismay, his words were not accepted by the members of the Red Peak Gang. Seeing that He Buxian was determined to deny everything, the disciples became enraged and attacked him.
"Fellow Daoists, let's stop this criminal for now and question him carefully about how he murdered the Grand Elder, his motives, and his intentions!"
Upon hearing this, the Red Peak Gang disciples were immediately filled with heroic spirit and shouted on the spot, "That's definitely how it should be!"
Looking at the indignant mob with broken sticks, He Buxian was furious. Did these guys really think he was a punching bag, that they could just attack him like that?
Why don't these guys understand why the Red Peak Gang's Grand Elder treats him like an honored guest? It's all because of his strength and his connection to the Primordial Hall.
