Chapter 1072 How Lightly Sworn Vows Change
"I was a homeless orphan back then, with no clothes to cover me and no food to fill my stomach. I struggled for my life every day, living in constant fear of death."
"Fortunately, after joining the ranks of the law-transmitters, my fate changed forever, and I truly understood the meaning of life."
The voice of the law-transmitter Feng echoed in the circular meeting hall, his face filled with nostalgia.
Next, Feng vividly described the fierce battles with the ten sects of the immortal path in the past, as well as the cautious hiding when the great disaster came. He also expressed his excitement when the Law-Transmitter Celestial appeared thousands of years later and rebuilt the Immortal Union on the wasteland of the immortal path.
His words seemed to transport the law-transmitters present back to that stirring era.
Finally, Law-Transmitter Feng stated firmly, "I, Feng Rui, will always be loyal to the Law-Transmitter Celestial and remain faithful to the Immortal Union forever."
"Throughout eternity, I will never waver!"
"Just like back then!"
Feng did not play any ambiguous word games but spoke directly.
In the empty circular hall, the countless figures of the predecessors all emitted a faint light, shining on Feng Rui.
Feng Rui stood proudly, accepting the scrutiny of everyone present as if it were the ultimate honor.
All the law-transmitters present, including Jiang, felt an inexplicable emotion.
They knew that Feng Rui had passed the test of the law-transmitter's oath.
Zhou, Wei, and Huang each gave a subtle glance at the solemn-looking Li Fan.
After Feng Rui returned to the center of the meeting hall, the law-transmitters applauded thunderously to show their respect and congratulations.
Next, the other law-transmitters who had been found to possess the techniques of the Xuantian Sect took turns to speak on the stage.
Without exception, they all successfully passed the inspection of the law-transmitter's oath.
"Friend, what is going on?"
"Could it be that you have been fabricating lies to deceive us all along?" Wei's expression was somewhat displeased as he questioned loudly in front of all the law-transmitters.
This statement seemed to be a case of shifting the blame rather than a reaction to being deceived.
Li Fan, the immortal puppet, remained impassive.
The situation in the circular meeting hall at this moment was indeed somewhat unexpected, and it was beyond his ability to handle. He was waiting for a decision from his true self.
Li Fan, who was remotely controlling the situation from the Lingshu Realm, thought for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal the image from the formation that had recorded the moment when Moru Bin possessed Feng Rui.
Because the other party could simply claim that the recorded image was fabricated and turn the situation around.
After all, Feng Rui had passed the test of the law-transmitter's oath, which had already validated his identity as a law-transmitter from a legal standpoint.
"Feng Rui is actually loyal to the law-transmission from the bottom of his heart…"
"In this situation, there are two possibilities."
"Either the Law-Transmitter Celestial is actually the Xuantian King. The Immortal Union and the Xuantian Sect are two sides of the same coin. Moru Bin can naturally reveal all this openly."
"Or…"
"Moru Bin has already left Feng Rui as a law-transmitter. If this is the case, the current Feng Rui is indeed a true law-transmitter."
"What is the truth?" Li Fan, the true self, thought anxiously, as scenes of past interactions with Moru Bin replayed in his mind.
Although it was all an act, the true intentions in some of Moru Bin's words were still difficult to conceal or change.
Li Fan suddenly made a decision.
"If I guess wrong, it's just a waste of an immortal puppet."
Without any psychological burden, Li Fan immediately gave the order.
In the circular meeting hall, the immortal puppet Li Fan, faced with the questioning gazes of the law-transmitters, did not offer an explanation.
Instead, he looked directly at Law-Transmitter Jiang and said, "I have something to say to you in private."
This statement immediately caused a commotion among those present.
Everyone was supposed to be brothers, so why should there be something that can only be said to Law-Transmitter Jiang?
The scene was in an uproar.
However, after looking at Li Fan's sincere expression, Jiang pondered for a while and eventually agreed to his condition with a nod.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang created a circular space in the center of the meeting hall.
The spirits of the heroes appeared outside the space, blocking any prying eyes.
Li Fan involuntarily entered the space.
"Now you can say what you need to. I am the only one who can hear you here," Law-Transmitter Jiang said calmly.
"How well do you know Feng Rui and the others?" Li Fan asked with a smile.
"I am aware of every move made by the law-transmitters within the Immortal Union. Every action they take and every resource they use are under my control. I simply choose to turn a blind eye. They are well aware of this," Law-Transmitter Jiang responded.
Li Fan then asked, "So, out of the twenty-seven present here today, besides you, how many were able to pass the law-transmitter's oath?"
"To think that Feng Rui and the others, four of them, were able to perfectly pass the oath test... Don't you find it strange?" Law-Transmitter Jiang fell silent.
At that moment, he understood that something was not right after Feng Rui and the others had publicly completed the oath verification. However, being confronted with this fact by someone else still left him feeling somewhat emotional.
After a moment of contemplation, Law-Transmitter Jiang responded, "Regardless, their public completion of the oath verification means that they are still qualified to hold the position of law-transmitters. Apart from the Celestial, no one can strip them of their authority."
"As for those who are causing trouble behind the scenes…"
"I will personally deal with them."
Li Fan immediately nodded, "I can assist you."
Law-Transmitter Jiang did not respond.
The circular space disappeared, leaving only Law-Transmitter Jiang in the center of the hall.
"Feng Rui and the others have been cleared of suspicion. They are still the most loyal law-transmitters of the Immortal Union!"
"Just like all of you!"
"As for the slanderous troublemaker, I have dealt with them."
Law-Transmitter Jiang proclaimed, bringing final resolution to the incident.
The law-transmitters responded with applause.
After some official statements, Law-Transmitter Jiang announced the end of the meeting.
The law-transmitters began to leave one after another.
However, Feng Rui and the others were asked by Law-Transmitter Jiang to stay behind, as he had some specific details to inquire about.
Naturally, Feng Rui and the others were forthcoming with every detail.
After learning about the events of recent times from their own mouths, Law-Transmitter Jiang nodded slightly and let them go.
The circular council chamber was now empty, with only him remaining.
It was at this moment that the figure of Li Fan slowly appeared.
