Wang Zhan's aggressiveness was something that even the other elders couldn't stand.
Chen Xuanfeng frowned slightly.
Chen Xuanfeng knew why Wang Zhan was targeting Huangfu Longdou.
It was nothing more than because of that trash grandson of his and Huangfu Longdou's enmity.
But Wang Zhan had gone too far.
Just as he was about to speak, Huangfu Longdou took the lead and sneered, "What will you do if I am a spy?"
Wang Zhan raised his eyebrows and immediately replied, "You'll be killed on the spot if you are a spy, of course!
"But since you've rendered meritorious service to the Heavenly Sword Sect today, I'll just expel you from the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Huangfu Longdou laughed out loud when he heard this, "So, I have to thank you?"
"Of course," Wang Zhan said surely. "It's already a great favor for me not to kill you if you are a spy. Of course, you have to thank me!"
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Longdou didn't panic at all. He said indifferently, "Elder Wang's words are reasonable. All of this is to protect the reputation of the sect."
Wang Zhan thought that Huangfu Longdou was at his wit's end. He could only admit it and leave the Heavenly Sword Sect to spare his life.
He said proudly, "Since that's the case, tell me the truth quickly so that you won't suffer any more physical pain."
Huangfu Longdou nodded, but he changed the topic, "But what if I'm not a spy?
"The Heavenly Sword Sect is a reputable sect and one of the four great sects in the greenlands. You can't just slander your disciples without any proof, can you?"
Wang Zhan was temporarily speechless with what Huangfu Longdou said and hurriedly asked, "What do you want?"
"What do I want?" Huangfu Longdou smiled and said, "Since you said that you'll expel me from the Heavenly Sword Sect if I'm a spy."
"If that's the case, will Elder Wang leave the Heavenly Sword Sect as well if I'm not a spy?"
Wang Zhan was so shocked that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly upon hearing that.
Why was Huangfu Longdou so certain?
Was he planning to tell the truth about that so-called immortal in the mountains?
No, he wanted to overthrow Wang Zhan just based on this alone?
It wouldn't be that easy!
Wang Zhan sneered and said, "If you can prove that you're not a spy, then I, Wang Zhan, will leave the Heavenly Sword Sect from today onwards and never come back."
The other elders remained silent upon hearing Wang Zhan's promise.
Everyone had seen how was Wang Zhan usually.
Initially, everyone could understand he was a little protective of his grandson. They all turned a blind eye and did not ask much.
But it was indeed a little too much at that moment.
Huangfu Longdou was a great contributor to the Heavenly Sword Sect that day, yet Wang Zhan wanted to force Huangfu Longdou to death for his selfish desires.
Everyone couldn't bear to watch such actions.
It was only because of Wang Zhan's status as an elder that they hadn't spoken up for Huangfu Longdou.
Everyone turned their gazes towards Huangfu Longdou now that Wang Zhan had spoken up.
To be honest, the other elders were also curious. How exactly did Huangfu Longdou intend to prove his innocence?
Even Chen Xuanfeng's guess was the same as Wang Zhan's.
At this point, perhaps only the mountain immortal Huangfu Longdou mentioned could prove his innocence.
However, Wang Zhan had already thought of a way out for himself.
"Don't say that you want to invite that mountain immortal who taught you a cultivation technique."
"Even if you invite him, can you prove that the so-called mountain immortal isn't someone from another sect?"
The other elders finally understood upon hearing that.
No wonder Wang Zhan dared to boast like that. It turned out that he had already thought of a backup plan.
As a result, everyone thought that Huangfu Longdou was at his wit's end.
However, Huangfu Longdou smiled and asked in return, "When did I say that I would invite him here?"
Everyone was slightly stunned upon hearing that, while Wang Zhan was shocked.
"What do you mean? Don't you intend to prove your innocence?"
Wang Zhan hurriedly said. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and sneered.
"I think you intend to confess, right? Well, it's good that you admit it now. It would save my time."
Huangfu Longdou only had one way left, which was to admit it.
Huangfu Longdou, on the other hand, still had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he didn't panic at all.
That made Wang Zhan feel more and more uneasy.
Could it be that this little baldy had other ways to prove his innocence?
Impossible!
It still couldn't prove that the immortal wasn't from another sect even if he invited that immortal.
There was no loophole in his guess!
Yes, Huangfu Longdou had no way to explain it clearly.
He was going to be expelled!
The self-comforting thought in his heart could not stop the panic in Wang Zhan's heart.
That was because Huangfu Longdou was too calm.
He was so calm that it was as if he was not worried at all.
What method did he have to prove his innocence?
Not only Wang Zhan but the other elders also had the same question in their minds.
Chen Xuanfeng had the same thought too.
He looked at Huangfu Longdou quietly and did not say a word.
He quietly waited for what Huangfu Longdou would say next.
He had also made a plan in his heart at the same time.
Chen Xuanfeng would do everything he could to protect Huangfu Longdou if Huangfu Longdou invited that immortal, even if Wang Zhan insisted on pestering him.
He couldn't let Wang Zhan force Huangfu Longdou away just like that!
...
Huangfu Longdou finally spoke just as everyone was silently waiting for what would happen next.
"When did I say that inviting the immortal would prove my innocence?"
The corner of Wang Zhan's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then how are you going to prove it?"
"How?" Huangfu Longdou smiled and asked back, "Why do I have to prove it?"
"What do you mean?"The uneasiness in Wang Zhan's heart grew stronger.
"Since you said that I'm a spy, shouldn't you be the one to show the evidence?"
Huangfu Longdou stared at Wang Zhan and said word by word, "Since you said that I'm a spy, then please tell me, have you ever heard of any sect that uses Body-Refining Techniques to deal with Qi-Refining Techniques?
"If no sect in the world has this technique, can it prove that I, Huangfu Longdou, am not a spy from another sect?"
Chen Xuanfeng's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Smart!
Wang Zhan should be able to tell which sect send Huangfu Longdou to be a spy since he said that Huangfu Longdou was a spy.
It could prove that Huangfu Longdou was not from another sect if no sect had such a technique!
At the same time, Wang Zhan's claim that immortals could also be from another sect fell apart.
"This..." Wang Zhan didn't expect Huangfu Longdou to say that, and he was speechless for a moment.
However, Huangfu Longdou didn't have the slightest intention of letting Wang Zhan go. He immediately took a step forward and said, "Elder Wang, No... Wang Zhan!
"I'm afraid you'll have to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect a step ahead of me today!"
The situation where Wang Zhan had been pressuring Huangfu Longdou had changed!
The situation had changed!
