Chapter 1698 He admitted it!
Chen Shujinwa, Ya Ya, and the other two were all panicked.
The scene was in an uproar.
All the guests' eyes were focused on Mingchuan and the three children, filled with shock, doubt, and scrutiny!
Ye Chuhan immediately wanted to rush up to speak up for Mingchuan, but Su Hongzhen stopped him and shook his head.
"Don't worry, Mingchuan needs to handle this himself."
Ye Chuhan could only grit his teeth and endure it!
At this moment, Su Hao and Luo Yang were also extremely anxious. Su Hao couldn't help but step forward: "Sect Master! There may be more to this than meets the eye. They are just children..."
"Shut up!" Su Hongzhen interrupted sharply, glaring at Su Hao. "The evidence is conclusive. What other secrets could there be? Are you going to protect this fraudster?!"
Luo Yang also panicked: "Sect Master, at least... at least don't scare the child!"
He saw that Ya Ya was about to cry, and Jin Wa was trying to hold back but her face was pale. Chen Shu pursed his lips, his body trembling slightly, and he couldn't bear it.
"Children?" Su Hongzhen sneered. "They are now disciples of the Wanchuan Sect, accomplices of the Mingchuan traitors! Why should we pity them!"
With a dark expression, Mingchuan stood firmly in front of Jinwa, Yaya, and Chen Shu, completely protecting them behind him.
He first turned his head slightly and whispered to the children behind him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then, he slowly turned around to face Su Hongzhen's aggressive gaze, which seemed to want to devour him alive, as well as the complicated gazes of all the guests in the room.
He didn't immediately refute or panic. He simply looked at Su Hongzhen with his deep eyes, as if he were looking at a clown jumping around.
This silent response infuriated Su Hongzhen more than any harsh words.
"Mingchuan! What else do you have to say?!" Su Hongzhen stepped forward, his imposing manner almost spitting on Mingchuan's face. "Caught red-handed! Do you still want to deny it?!"
"Gentlemen!" He turned to the guests again, waving his arms, "What right do these villains who betray their masters, steal sect resources, and deceive people by impersonating others have to establish a sect and lead the masses?! Today, my Qingcheng Yufa Sect will stand here to seek justice for our sect's unjustly deceased Holy Son Su Yuze and for the losses our sect has suffered!"
Behind him, the elders and disciples of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect began to clamor, drawing their swords and blades, their spiritual light flashing, as if they were about to fight at the slightest provocation.
The atmosphere instantly became tense!
Many guests frowned and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Sect Master Ye's expression also darkened, and he slightly raised his hand, signaling his disciples to be on guard.
Ye Chuhan was so anxious that she scratched her head, but was stopped by her father's stern gaze.
Jin Man had also arrived beside Ming Chuan at some point, gently waving her fan, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent as she coldly surveyed the Qingcheng Yufa Sect members.
Ji Zhou, A Xiong, and other disciples of the Battle Hall quietly surrounded them, locking their auras onto the other party.
At this critical moment, Mingchuan suddenly smiled.
"Yes, you're right, I, Mingchuan, am Cang Ziang!"
A short sentence, but like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a stormy sea!
"What?!" someone exclaimed.
"He...he admitted it?!"
"The Mingchuan Sect Master is really Cang Zi'ang?!"
Even Su Hongzhen was stunned. He had anticipated Mingchuan's denials, sophistry, and even his anger and physical violence, but he had not expected the other party to admit it so readily.
But then, he was overwhelmed with ecstasy!
He admitted it! He admitted it! Now let's see how he'll maintain his foothold in the Spirit Realm!
Su Hongzhen couldn't help but laugh loudly, his laughter filled with the smug satisfaction of triumph and the sinister glint of impending victory.
"Hahaha! Did you all hear that? He admitted it! He admitted that he is Cang Zi'ang! He admitted that he infiltrated my Qingcheng Yufa Sect and committed petty theft, deceiving his master and betraying his ancestors! How can someone of such character be worthy of being the leader of a sect?"
"The Myriad Rivers Sect? They think they can return all rivers to their origin? How laughable! You're nothing but a den of thieves, a haven of filth and malice!"
The Qingcheng Yufa Sect members behind him were also filled with indignation, glaring at Mingchuan as if they wanted to devour this traitor alive.
The guests were buzzing with discussion, their eyes filled with shock, disappointment, and wariness as they looked at Mingchuan. Even some who had previously held a favorable view of the Wanchuan Sect were now wavering.
Su Hao and Luo Yang frowned, at a loss for words, and could only distance themselves from Ming Chuan.
"That's not how it is!" Amidst the almost one-sided public pressure, a voice, though childish, rang out loudly!
It's Chen Shu!
He had stepped out from behind Mingchuan without anyone noticing, his small body trembling slightly with excitement, but his eyes shone with an astonishing light. He looked fearlessly into Su Hongzhen's eyes and at all the questioning gazes, and loudly proclaimed:
“Brother Mingchuan… no, Elder Cang never did anything to betray the sect when he was in the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect!”
Jinwa also mustered up her courage, pulled Yaya to stand next to Chen Shu, and shouted with her neck stiffened, "That's right! Brother Mingchuan helped the sect win the competition before! He used his own soul to open the secret realm gate for the Qingcheng Yufa Sect! He also guided many senior brothers and sisters in their cultivation!"
Although Ya Ya was scared, she whispered but firmly, "Brother Mingchuan... is a good person!"
The three children's abrupt defenses seemed so weak in the face of the clamor and accusations of the adult world, yet they were like a few drops of water thrown into boiling oil, creating ripples in a different way.
Su Hongzhen sneered: "You little brat, you've been so bewitched by him, yet you still dare to spout nonsense!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, Sect Leader Su knows best in his heart," Mingchuan finally spoke again.
His voice remained calm, yet possessed a peculiar penetrating power that overwhelmed the noise of the scene.
He didn't look at the furious Su Hongzhen, but instead slowly swept his gaze across all the guests present, those who came from all sides of the Spirit Realm, some with curiosity, some with scrutiny, and some with hostility.
"Gentlemen," Mingchuan's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, "Sect Leader Su repeatedly accuses me, Cang Zi'ang, of infiltrating the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect and committing petty theft, treason, and patricide. Well then, I'd like to ask—"
His gaze suddenly sharpened, like a drawn sword piercing straight at Su Hongzhen:
"What exactly did I, Cang Zi'ang, do wrong during my time at the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect? Was it that I failed to win glory for the sect? Or that I failed to acquire resources for the sect? Or that I failed to wholeheartedly guide my fellow disciples and improve the sect's strength?"
With each question he asked, he took a step forward, his demeanor not domineering, but rather carrying a confident and self-assured air.
"In the previous sect competition, who helped Qingcheng Yufa Sect overcome all others and win first place? Who sacrificed their divine soul to open the gate to the secret realm for Qingcheng Yufa Sect?!"
"And who brought back ancient heritage and rare resources to enrich the sect's treasury?"
"When sect disciples encounter obstacles in their cultivation, who generously offers guidance and helps them break through their bottlenecks? Su Hao, Luo Yang, and many other Qingcheng Yufa Sect disciples present, tell me, have I ever held back anything? Have I ever harbored any ill intentions towards you?!"
