Chapter 146
All the councilors of the Star Nexus Pavilion noticed Li Yang.
This young Nature Department seems Heavenly Fortune Bearer to stir up a storm within the Star Nexus Pavilion.
The debate about the Blue Crystal Realm Domain will never reach a conclusion.
Wang Gexiao insisted that he had misjudged the intelligence, so there was nothing Marquis of Wind Pavilion could do.
In particular, Wang Gexiao cunningly dispatched the Star Combat Division. If there were still his confidants in the Spirit Division, then the Star Combat Division was merely acting on orders.
Their orders were to protect the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.
These can all withstand mental scrutiny.
As for the Spirit Division, even with Wang Gexiao's confidants, it would be difficult to screen them out.
It's not realistic to conduct psychological probing on each of them individually.
Moreover, these confidants may not actually know anything; they are merely following orders.
Seeing that the time was right, Marquis of Wind Pavilion snorted coldly and changed the subject, "Wang Gexiao, your intelligence is ridiculously wrong! How could it be the Blue Crystal Realm Domain? How could it be the place where all the Nature Department beings gather?"
Upon hearing this, the Star Nexus Pavilion fell silent instantly, and Wang Gexiao's back visibly tensed.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion pressed his advantage. "You say the intelligence was wrong, but you actually had every motive to encircle and annihilate the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, because you wanted to kill Li Yang, and kill all the Nature Department beings in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain!"
None of the Xingshu councilors present expected that Marquis of Wind Pavilion would be so blunt and confrontational. This neutral marquis, who was known for his pragmatism and self-preservation, would actually say such a thing.
There were also members of the Shen Family in the Star Nexus Pavilion, and even Ninth-Grade Supreme was present.
At this moment, they couldn't help but raise their eyes, looking at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion with undisguised surprise.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion glanced at them indifferently, and they quickly lowered their heads, offering no objection. They were only thinking in their minds how to help Marquis of Wind Pavilion next.
The Wang Family in the pavilion were startled and all looked at Marquis of Mirror Bamboo sitting in the main seat.
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's expression was also grim. He pursed his thin lips, his voice sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth. "Marquis of Wind Pavilion, my son's heart is with Huaxia, and he would never want to kill his fellow disciples!"
Marquis of Wind Pavilion was exceptionally fierce, and he immediately retorted, "How could he not? Twenty-eight years ago, he dared to summon Divine Descent to slaughter the entire Nature Department. How could he possibly let these young people who want to avenge their ancestors of the Nature Department go unpunished now!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Not to mention others, even Li Yaowan and Li Yang felt their hearts pounding.
The phrase even popped into Li Yaowan's mind. "A dog that bites doesn't bark."
Although the wording was inappropriate, it was strangely fitting for the occasion.
Who would have thought that Marquis of Wind Pavilion, who always dealt with people in a tactful and diplomatic manner, would be so fierce and courageous, spouting explosive remarks?
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo slammed his hand on the armrest, turned around and glared angrily at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "Marquis of Wind Pavilion, without any evidence, do not make baseless accusations!"
Marquis of Wind Pavilion stared directly at Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, showing no sign of backing down, and said, "Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, if you don't believe me, then why don't you conduct a mental examination of Wang Gexiao, and you'll know whether what I said is true or false."
Throughout the Star Nexus Pavilion, including the pillars of the Shen Family, no one could help but feel as if their ancestor had been possessed!
Is this really Marquis of Wind Pavilion?
Is Marquis of Wind Pavilion trying to scare everyone present to death?
Li Yaowan and Li Yang's breathing also became lighter. They hadn't expected that Marquis of Wind Pavilion, who had become their partner, would be so brave and domineering!
When Li Yang thought about how Marquis of Wind Pavilion was Shen Binghua's ancestor, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it made sense.
It must be said that Marquis of Wind Pavilion's domineering and forceful nature was very effective.
She caught the Wang Family completely off guard, leaving even Marquis of Mirror Bamboo speechless for a long time.
Wang Gexiao reacted the fastest, immediately saying, "Marquis, I don't know where you heard this, but to ruin a Peak Eighth Grade spirit master because of such nonsense, isn't that a bit too frivolous!"
Upon hearing this, the Wang Family's councilors reacted quickly, and one of them immediately stood up and said, "Marquis of Wind Pavilion, our patriarch is a Half-Step Supreme. If we were to conduct a spiritual probe on him, his Origin Soul would be damaged, causing his cultivation level to plummet! How can our Huaxia Heavenly Palace lose a Half-Step Supreme because of such rumors!"
The Wang Family's councilors spoke up in unison, seizing on this point to gradually steer the narrative in favor of the idea that Marquis of Wind Pavilion, having been instigated, was willing to sacrifice a Half-Step Supreme.
They were practically saying, "Has Marquis of Wind Pavilion become senile?"
The Shen Family really wanted to support their ancestor.
But their ancestor was behaving very strangely today; every word he uttered was unexpected, and they had no idea how to respond.
Then look at Li Yaowan sitting quietly, and Li Yang standing behind her.
Several members of the Shen Family couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of bewitching potion did Li Yang use on our ancestor? Or did Li Yaowan develop some terrifying elixir? Has our ancestor's mind been controlled?"
They would rather believe such an outrageous possibility than believe that Marquis of Wind Pavilion said these words in a completely rational state.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion snorted coldly and turned to look at Li Yang: "Don't you have a witness? Let him come over."
Witness?
Upon hearing these two words, everyone was startled again.
The Shen Family finally understood and gradually caught up with the Marquis of Wind Pavilion's pace.
They knew that Marquis of Wind Pavilion was siding with the Nature Department and trying to bring down Wang Gexiao.
Although they didn't know why Marquis of Wind Pavilion suddenly wanted to do this, the entire Shen Family shared Marquis of Wind Pavilion's fate, and they had to support her.
Although Wang Gexiao's expression remained unchanged, he already had a vague guess in his heart.
So that's how it is. No wonder Li Yang dared to try and win over Marquis of Wind Pavilion.
She found Lu Yanbie.
Lu Yanbie, who was on the run, was always a thorn in Wang Gexiao's side.
For the past twenty-eight years, Wang Gexiao has never given up hunting him down.
Unexpectedly, this Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer, protected by Heavenly Fortune, escaped his pursuit time and time again.
Wang Gexiao resented Heavenly Fortune Bearer.
Why are they born with such Heavenly Fortune?!
Why is it that those who are blessed with Heavenly Fortune have such a smooth path in their cultivation?
What's even more ridiculous is that because their Heavenly Fortune is too strong, they become vessels for the Divine Venerable Realm, causing the destruction of their entire race.
So, is this Heavenly Fortune a blessing or a curse?
Wang Gexiao harbored a deep-seated loathing for the so-called Heavenly Fortune!
Standing beside Li Yaowan, Li Yang bowed to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and said, "Thank you, Marquis, for upholding justice for the Nature Department! Twenty-eight years ago, someone used Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer to activate Divine Descent, attracting the Divine Exalt Daowu of the Upper Three Realms, which led to the Nature Department soldiers' tragic death at the Greedy Wolf Transit Point!"
Immediately, a member of the Wang Family spoke up, "This matter was thoroughly investigated twenty-eight years ago. The Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer you mentioned is Lu Yanbie, right? He also underwent a mental examination by the Twelve Marquises of the Star Nexus... Are you trying to say that the mental examination back then was fake?"
Li Yang said, "The mental probing is accurate, but it can be biased."
At this moment, Lu Yanbie, who was wearing a hood, stepped out from behind Li Yang.
Twenty-eight years later, Lu Yanbie returned to the Star Nexus Pavilion, stood in the same place, and faced the same interrogation.
Last time, he was terrified and, under the torment of mental probing, was in a daze and couldn't speak clearly at all.
But now his voice was clear and resonant. "Twenty-eight years ago, I awoke from Divine Descent and met Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, who wanted to kill me to silence me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Star Nexus Pavilion erupted in another uproar.
The Wang Family members, their faces flushed, stood up and said, "Shameless brat, how dare you implicate a marquis! Who gave you permission to do this!"
Their words were clearly directed at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion, suggesting that he was attempting to overthrow Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, which was why he instructed Lu Yanbie utter such treasonous words.
Lu Yanbie voice, "I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe me, you can conduct another mental examination on me!"
"Do you think mental probing is so easy? Besides, you've already experienced it once. Even if you're Heavenly Fortune Bearer, you can forget about continuing your cultivation if it happens again!"
Lu Yanbie declared fearlessly, "Even if I die here, I will reveal the truth of what happened back then!"
Lu Yanbie, don't be afraid of death.
He is willing to undergo another mental examination.
It doesn't matter if I become a useless person!
He'd had enough of hiding for 2,800 years.
I would rather die for one who truly understands me.
He was willing to dedicate himself to Li Yang!
However, Li Yang wouldn't sacrifice Lu Yanbie. She stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Lu can't withstand a second mental probe, but Patriarch Wang Family can."
The Wang Family erupted in anger again, with many even standing up to accuse Li Yang of being arrogant and rude.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion shouted sternly, "This matter is of utmost importance! If this is not thoroughly investigated, the Huaxia Heavenly Palace will never have peace!"
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo suddenly turned to look at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion didn't look at Marquis of Mirror Bamboo; he stared at Wang Gexiao and said, "For the sake of your father's innocence, are you willing to undergo a mental examination?"
Marquis of Mirror Bamboo suddenly stood up. "Nonsense!"
Li Yang stepped forward and said, "The Nature Department risked their lives to launch a night raid on Fenglie Main City in order to protect Huaxia. They fought with all their might and returned victorious, but they died tragically at the Greedy Wolf Transit Point!"
"It's only because someone within Huaxia used Divine Descent to point out the coordinates to Daowu!"
"If this traitor is not brought to justice, who among the future soldiers of Huaxia will dare to fight to the death for Huaxia!"
Chapter 146
Li Yang's words were truly thought-provoking.
In fact, everyone present understood what she was saying.
Like the Emperor's New Clothes, no one dared to expose this ridiculous illusion.
At this moment, Li Yang, like a child revealing the truth, used his youthful and clear voice to expose the gloom that had been hidden in people's hearts for 28 years to the Sun.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "Li Yang is right. If we cannot give an explanation to the brave and fallen Nature Department, who will dare to fight to the death for Huaxia in the future!"
At this point, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's face twitched, his cheeks bulged as he clenched his teeth, and the veins on his neck stood out.
