Confrontation in the Palace

As soon as this name was spoken, the expressions of the independent cultivators in the hall suddenly changed.

Some people have indeed never heard of summer, so they look confused.

Some people obviously knew who Xia Tian was, so they looked surprised.

There were also people who already knew what was happening, but could not show any abnormality on their faces and could only pretend to be confused, which looked quite funny.

Master Ren took in the expressions of these people one by one and had an idea in his mind.

"Which blessed place is Xia Tian from?" Monk Hai was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in confusion, "Why have I never heard of him?"

Several others followed suit, as if they had never heard of this person before.

Master Ren slowly explained: "Xia Tian's cultivation is higher than ours, but he is not a senior cultivator, but a miracle doctor."

"That's complete nonsense!" After hearing what Master Ren said, Zhao Xiangu was immediately furious and pointed at him and cursed: "I have heard of doctors who can heal people, animals, and even trees, but where in the world is there a miracle doctor who can heal spiritual veins? I'm afraid he is a charlatan!"

"Master Ren, your skill in changing the subject is so poor."

"Spiritual veins are ethereal things and have no substance. How can we cure them?"

"That's right, why don't you say he can heal the sky as well."

"I think you just made up a random person to fool us."

"Well, how about you invite this expert out for us to meet?"

Several representatives of the independent cultivators began to criticize Master Ren, and it seemed as if they were forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Master Ren became more and more certain of his judgment, but at the moment he really had no way to make Xia Tian show up. He also guessed that the Hidden Sect must have used some means to keep Xia Tian.

"Mr. Xia is on the mountain, but he may have some things to deal with, so he is not in the hall for the time being." Master Ren said slowly, "If you want to see him, I can introduce him to you after the Hidden Immortal Conference is over."

Monk Hai couldn't help but sneer: "Master Ren, what you said is too ridiculous. This is Zhongnan Mountain. What is more important than the Hidden Immortal Conference? I don't think this person exists. You are deliberately making fun of us!"

"Master Ren, you first cut our spiritual energy quota in half. It's fine as long as there is a legitimate reason. We are not unreasonable people." The handsome man folded his hands and said with a smile: "But since you attributed the reason for the spiritual energy quota being cut in half to this Xia Tian, ​​but you don't let us see him, and the reason is too far-fetched, it's hard for us not to be suspicious."

Ning Ruirui, who was at the back of the hall, couldn't hold her temper any longer and said, "Uncle Zhang, why don't we go out and testify for Master Ren?"

"No hurry." Zhang Mingtuo waved his hand nonchalantly, "Besides, there's no point in you doing this. They are determined to get away with this matter and force Master Ren to back down. If we go out to testify, they will ask us to prove ourselves first. This is too troublesome and unnecessary."

“But we can’t let them bully Master Ren like this.” Ning Ruirui said indignantly.

Zhang Mingtuo smiled and said, "You are still too naive. Even if you want to go out and testify, do you think you can go out?"

"Uncle Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Ning Ruirui looked at Zhang Mingtuo in confusion.

Zhang Mingtuo did not say anything, but just glanced at Shi Chun who was sitting beside him and was as quiet as a quail.

"Huh?" Ning Ruirui didn't understand what he meant, and then she felt something was wrong, because Shi Chun was too quiet. He had hardly spoken since he came to this room, which was completely inconsistent with her lively and outgoing personality.

"Since you have seen through me, I will not pretend anymore." Shi Chun sighed and raised her hand to wipe her face, revealing her true appearance. She was a cold-faced woman in her thirties. "You two better not move. I have filled the room with poisonous vines. If you dare to move, I will pierce you."

"Where's Shi Chun? What did you do to her?" Ning Ruirui raised her eyebrows, not afraid of the man's threat. "If she gets even a little bit hurt, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

"Haha, you have deep feelings for me?" The cold-faced woman chuckled. "But don't worry, I won't be able to deal with that little girl, someone will naturally stop her. Just don't act rashly, and I won't do anything to you!"

"It seems that you are really well prepared." Ning Ruirui's face was unchanged. She blamed herself for being so careless, and was also unhappy about the pervasive infiltration of the people from the Hidden Sect. "But, do you really think you can control the two of us by yourself?"

"Whether you can grasp it or not is not important." The cold-faced woman lit a cigarette for herself, took two puffs and slowly blew out smoke rings. She said calmly, "What's important is that I came prepared, but you were careless for a moment. That's enough."

There was a hint of threat in his words.

Obviously, when Zhang Mingtuo and Ning Ruirui focused their attention on the hall, this woman had already prepared her killing move. Although her cultivation might not be as good as Ning Ruirui's, she had the upper hand, and this was her confidence.

Ning Ruirui also knew that she had made a mistake and was trying to find a way to make up for it.

"Don't bother thinking about it." Zhang Mingtuo advised, "Just wait and see the show. It's almost time for the main character to appear."

Ning Ruirui remained silent and didn't say anything more.

"That's right." The cold-faced woman nodded, "People who know what's best for them always live longer."

At this time, the debate in the hall was becoming more and more intense.

"Okay, Master Ren, we don't have the patience to talk to you about whether Xia Tian is a miracle doctor or not." Monk Hai was very impatient. He stood up, walked to Master Ren, and said in a cold voice: "In short, the spiritual energy and elixirs must not be reduced, but doubled. This is what you owe us in Zhongnan Mountain."

Zhao Xiangu had a similar attitude, and was even more vicious: "Ren Daofang, I know what you are planning. You are just like the guy named Zhuo before, trying to annex us. Unfortunately, we are no longer the same as we were before. We will not fall for the same trick a second time."

"Alas, I was planning to have a good discussion with you, but you just kept making trouble." Master Ren was no longer able to suppress his anger. "I was too lazy to talk about the right and wrong of what happened two decades ago, but you put the blame on Chongyang Palace. It's really ridiculous."

"What a joke." Monk Hai retorted flatly, "That's right. The person was invited by your Chongyang Palace, and when the killing disaster started, your Chongyang Palace did not stop it. I'm afraid that your Chongyang Palace wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so that you can reap the benefits."

"Some of the people who died back then died, some escaped, and there are really few who are still alive today." Zhao Xiangu said calmly, "You Chongyang Palace want to take this opportunity to overturn the verdict, but I'm afraid it's impossible, because we are not dead yet."

"Zhao Xiangu, that's right." Master Ren smiled faintly, "Only those who were there back then know best. But were you and Master Hai really there back then?"

"Ren Daofang, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Xiangu found that she seemed to have said this sentence several times today, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Master Ren smiled faintly and suddenly waved his sleeves: "I was not present at the time, and all I know is what my master told me, which is indeed a bit one-sided. You claim to be present, but what you say is also a bit one-sided. How about this, I will ask someone else to come out and tell the story, and see if there is another version of what happened back then."

"What the hell are you doing?" Monk Hai was stunned, and found that the turn of events was somewhat different from what he expected. "We are discussing spiritual energy and elixirs now, what are you talking about!"

Master Ren waved his hand and said loudly to the scattered cultivators outside the hall: "Everyone here, some know about the great movement that happened two decades ago, some don't, and some only know a little... Today is a good opportunity, I will tell you about that matter from all aspects, and let everyone judge whether what happened back then was a big mistake made by Chongyang Palace."

Monk Hai and several other representatives of the independent cultivators in the hall couldn't help but change their expressions. They subconsciously wanted to stop Master Ren, but they couldn't find any strong reasons for a while.

The share of spiritual energy elixirs was originally caused by what happened back then. Now they want to readjust the share. So it is understandable that Chongyang Palace wants to sort out the responsibility for that incident back then.

"I want to see who you can find!" Monk Hai Da cursed angrily, "If we find that the person you are looking for has nothing to do with that incident, don't blame us for demolishing your Chongyang Palace."

"If I am lying, I will demolish the palace or exterminate the whole family. Please do as you wish." Master Ren seemed to have a plan in mind and said calmly, "Friends, please come out."

Not long after, five or six people suddenly walked out from the crowd outside the hall and walked into the hall together.

When the wandering cultivators in the hall saw these people, they couldn't help but show a puzzled look.

"Aren't you Taoist Priest Qiu from Anxin Temple?" Zhao Xiangu was puzzled by the white-haired old man. "I remember that you were seriously ill thirty years ago. You couldn't stand the light and your mind was not clear. Why did you fall out today?"

Taoist Priest Qiu chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Fairy Zhao. My illness has been cured by Divine Doctor Xia. I came here to talk about something at the invitation of Master Ren."

"You are not even a hundred years old, you know nothing about what happened back then!" The great monk Hai cursed without any mercy: "If your uncle Taoist Ge Gengfeng were still here, it would be almost the same."

"Although I don't know what happened back then, I have a handwritten letter from Uncle Ge in my hand, which contains the whole story of what happened back then." Taoist Priest Qiu took out a book from his arms, which was the thing in the blue cloth package that Ning Ruirui had sent.

"Zhuo Yuanfan, how old are you?" Monk Hai suddenly pointed at a young man in the crowd and yelled, "When that incident happened, I'm afraid your father wasn't even born yet. What does it have to do with you?"

Zhuo Yuanfan ignored the monk and simply bowed to Master Ren: "Wugong Mountain, I am Zhuo Yuanfan, the new master of Shengshou Sect. I am honored to meet Master Ren."

Master Ren said calmly, "This person is the descendant of the immortal cultivator who caused the great calamity in the immortal cultivation world back then."

"That's right. The so-called senior cultivator is the great-uncle of my Zhuo family." Zhuo Yuanfan said loudly: "I have evidence in my hand to prove that what happened back then was related to Chongyang Palace, but..."

Before he could finish his words, a figure suddenly stepped out from the crowd, raised his hand and hit Zhuo Yuanfan hard on the head.
