The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1218

Chapter 1218: Chapter 1215: The Grievance of Chen Chapter 1218: Chapter 1215: The Grievance of Chen “Heavenly fire bestowed, the legacy unbroken, this moment has its part, two bodies with one heart.”

The Blue-haired Lion King chanted the verse and stepped forward, raising his hand as if it were a knife, and gently drawing it across a golden fire basin engraved with a barbaric lion, an elephant head, and a Large peng. Instantly, a bunch of flames separated from within the basin.

The Six-tusked Elephant King took a step ahead, positioned himself to the left of the Lion King, and the Golden Wings Large peng hurriedly followed, arriving on the right side, flipping his hand to produce a silver cup container, apparently intending to collect the flames that had been separated.

Just as the Golden Wings Large peng came forward, one of the demon generals from behind stepped out of the crowd, and it was Xiong Ran!

“Not good, he's going to make a move,” Fu Donglai's heart tightened.

“Don't rush, your Master's cultivation level is profound, Xiong Ran alone can't harm him. The situation is unclear now, hold back for the moment,” Shen Luo saw him about to move and quickly grabbed him, transmitting his voice to him.

Fu Donglai paused, seemingly hesitant.

But at that moment, Xiong Ran's Storage Ring suddenly flashed, as if he intended to draw out some Magical Treasure.

“No, we can't wait any longer.”

Ignoring Shen Luo's advice, Fu Donglai shook off his grasp, his body instantly transforming into a whirlwind soaring up to the High Platform.

Before everyone could react, they saw that he had already taken his Standing Position, seizing Xiong Ran's wrist.

Confused about what had just happened, the demons below cried out in shock.

The Blue-haired Lion King turned his head to look and saw that it was Fu Donglai who had taken Xiong Ran hostage, with a fierce fury flaring in his eyes and a powerful Breath erupting from his body instantaneously.

“Fu Donglai, you dare to come back?” the Lion King roared angrily, the sound shaking the mountain forest.

The Surroundings demons, hearing this, quaked with fear, those with lower cultivation levels nearly unable to keep their balance.

“Donglai…”

The Golden Wings Large peng momentarily forgot about receiving the flame and looked towards his once disciple with surprise on his face.

The Six-tusked Elephant King was even more furious, ignoring Xiong Ran's life or death, raising a palm about to strike down at Fu Donglai.

“The disciple is wrongly accused,” Fu Donglai shouted loudly.

The Six-tusked Elephant King turned a deaf ear, still boldly bringing down his palm.

“Stop!” The Golden Wings Large peng hurriedly called out to stop him.

The Six-tusked Elephant King showed no sign of halting his action, his palm about to land on Fu Donglai's forehead.

At that moment, a flash of Moonlight flickered around the Sacrificial Platform, and another figure darted up, grabbing Fu Donglai by the shoulder from the side and pulling him back to dodge.

The Six-tusked Elephant King's palm heavily fell, but just narrowly missed Fu Donglai and instead struck Xiong Ran's shoulder.

A sound of bones cracking was heard as Xiong Ran's shoulder collapsed and one arm drooped down, obviously broken and severely injured.

“Ah…”

He let out a miserable cry from his mouth.

“Who dares to cause trouble on my Lion Camel Ridge?” the Blue-haired Lion King roared angrily, looking towards Shen Luo.

He quickly recognized that the person before him was the human cultivator who was on good terms with Fu Donglai, his eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.

“Junior Shen Luo,” Shen Luo said forthrightly.

He did not mention his sect or the Great Tang Dynasty Government, merely introducing himself simply.

“You have the nerve to interfere in the matters of our Demon Clan, are you tired of living?” the Blue-haired Lion King frowned and said.

“The affairs of the Demon Clan are naturally something I would prefer not to meddle in, but how could I stand idly by when Fu Donglai fell victim to a set-up?” Shen Luo said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

“He is a traitor of the Demon Clan; this matter has been conclusively resolved. How dare you–ah…” Xiong Ran had just started speaking when his words were cut short by a scream of agony.

Fu Donglai twisted his arm behind his back with one hand while the other clutched his neck, a sharp claw on the thumb protruding like an awl against an important acupoint on his neck, already piercing the skin slightly.

Under that sharp claw, a needle condensed from mana was piercing through the lung lobe, stabbing Xiong Ran's heart.

“Donglai, do not act rashly,” Golden Wings Large Peng suddenly spoke up with a shout.

His expression was stern, clearly dissatisfied with Fu Donglai and another person interrupting the branch ritual.

“Master, I would never behave so rudely if it weren't absolutely necessary. I have a grave injustice to report…”

“Whatever you have to say can wait until after the ritual is over,” Golden Wings Large Peng decisively shouted to stop him.

“Master, this matter is of great importance and cannot wait any longer. Please hear me out…” Fu Donglai insisted, defying his Master's orders through clenched teeth.

“Elder Brother Fu,” Shen Luo called out loudly.

Fu Donglai's words were immediately interrupted, and he looked towards Shen Luo with some surprise, only to see him wink almost imperceptibly.

Though puzzled in his heart, he quickly caught on and ceased speaking.

“Fellow Great Kings, since Fu Donglai suffers from an unjust accusation, causing rifts among you, wouldn't you like to know who the real instigator is?” Shen Luo took over from Fu Donglai and continued.

“What do you know?” the Blue-haired Lion King asked sharply with a chilling voice.

“Bold human, stop spouting nonsense,” the Six-tusked Elephant King bellowed angrily.

Golden Wings Large Peng's expression also showed a slight change; he folded his hands into his sleeves and looked at Shen Luo with knitted brows.

Shen Luo noted the reactions of the others but showed no concern as he spoke directly,

“It is him, the three-headed fire lion, Xiong Ran!”

At this bold declaration, not only were the Blue-haired Lion King and the others stunned on the spot, but even Fu Donglai was slow to react.

However, he quickly understood.

Because of his impulsive action, he had failed to wait for the unexpected turn of events and had lost the opportunity to obtain evidence of the Six-tusked Elephant King and Blue-haired Lion King joining forces against Golden Wings Large Peng.

Therefore, they could only accuse Xiong Ran at this time, unable to reveal the entire truth.

Nevertheless, Fu Donglai felt it was worth it as long as he could save his Master. Once he was cleared of suspicion, he could tell the entire truth to Golden Wings Large Peng, which would be more credible by then.

“You say he is the instigator, but do you have evidence?” the Blue-haired Lion King asked, his expression darkening even further as he spoke word by word.

“If I present evidence, can it clear Elder Brother Fu of his charges and allow for the strict punishment of the true culprit?” Shen Luo asked.

“As long as you present solid proof, we will certainly not condone the actions, but if you cannot produce it and are merely making baseless accusations, I will ensure you pay a heavy price,” the Blue-haired Lion King said coldly.

“Big Brother, humans are not trustworthy,” the Six-tusked Elephant King advised from the side.

The Blue-haired Lion King looked towards the three-headed fire lion, his gaze filled with both inquiry and hesitation.

“Master, do not listen to their attempts to sow discord; I am innocent…” Xiong Ran hastily cried out.

“You dare claim innocence? You dare say that the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle is not in your Storage Ring right now?” Shen Luo shouted accusingly.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ran's face turned pale, but he quickly retorted,

“The Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle has clearly been stolen by Fu Donglai. You are framing me as the thief when it's you who are the culprits, intentionally framing me.”
