The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1434

Chapter 1434: Chapter 1430: Mistaken Identity Incident? Chapter 1434: Chapter 1430: Mistaken Identity Incident? Shen Luo remained deaf to the sounds around him, simply giving Cheng Yaojin, Yuan Tiangang, and Fairy Qinglian before him a respectful bow, paying no attention to Blue-haired Lion King and Yang Jian, nor to the reactions of the crowd below, as he walked over to the only chair on the opposite side and calmly sat down.

When they saw Hu Bugui across from them, both of them had a momentary blank stare, and then they nodded to each other as a form of greeting.

The people present were instantly stunned, and the voices of doubt and accusation immediately quietened down.

Not one among them was a fool–they saw that Shen Luo's action had not been stopped by anyone, indicating his extraordinary identity, only deepening their curiosity and confusion.

“Everyone, please calm down. This Friend Shen is here today representing Mount Fangcun to confront Lion Camel Ridge, Demon King Fort, Pansi Cave, and Lingbo City. He is representing Bodhi Ancestor,” Cheng Yaojin stood up, walked forward, and clarified for the crowd.

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of those on the stage remained unchanged, obviously having been aware beforehand, while those below inevitably stirred, speculating about Shen Luo's identity, suggesting he must be the direct disciple of Bodhi Ancestor, even his most favored closed-door disciple.

However, Cheng Yaojin did not further elaborate on any other identity of Shen Luo.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of this conference is to guide the harmony in the Three Realms and join forces for the peace of all clans. However, previously there was a shocking occurrence that disturbed the peace, which surely you are all aware of–the attack on Mount Fangcun,” said Cheng Yaojin, clearing his throat.

At this sound, the crowd fell silent again.

“I know there have been all sorts of rumors and gossip about this matter in the Three Realms, but today I want to set the record straight, revisit the whole story from start to finish, and inform everyone in detail,” Cheng Yaojin continued.

“Right,” immediately responded those sects below that had once received favors from Mount Fangcun.

“Please, be fair and just, and must give justice back to Mount Fangcun,” someone else echoed.

Members of the Demon Race and Demon Clan sects, however, kept their mouths shut, not making any sounds.

“Regarding this matter…” Following this, Cheng Yaojin began to recount what led to the Mount Fangcun incident.

As Shen Luo listened by the side, the more he heard, the more he felt that something was amiss.

Under Cheng Yaojin's narration, the extermination campaign, led by those four major sects and many other smaller ones, turned into a farcical event due to various misunderstandings.

In this event, Lion Camel Ridge and Pansi Cave were still to blame, and Demon King Fort and Lingbo City were secondarily responsible, but the combined efforts of the Demon and Demon Clans to open the Seal of Divine Demon Well was simply omitted and not mentioned at all.

Shen Luo couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly, his hands clenching the armrests of his chair as his veins began to appear on the back of his hands.

Just as he was about to interrupt and speak out against what he was hearing, the voice of National Master Yuan Tiangang suddenly sounded in his Sea of Knowledge.

“Friend Shen, do not get angry. We have discussed this matter with Mount Fangcun, and they have agreed,” Yuan Tiangang's tone was unhurried.

“They agreed? The ancestors aren't senile, how could they agree to something like this?” Shen Luo did not believe it at all.

He even suspected that this was the reason why nobody from Mount Fangcun had come to the conference, leaving him to take their place.

“Don't worry, the sanctions against the offending sects will not be light, but we cannot punish them with the accusation of reopening the Divine Demon Well, as that could easily exacerbate the conflicts between the clans, which is not what we all want to see right now,” Yuan Tiangang continued communicating telepathically.

Hearing this, Shen Luo said nothing, falling into contemplation.

Yuan Tiangang didn't say much else.

“Has the Bodhi Ancestor really agreed to this?” A moment later, Shen Luo transmitted his voice to ask.

“What, you don't trust my words either?” Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

Shen Luo paused, then didn't say anything else, which could be considered as his tacit agreement.

“King of Demons, Immortal Bingbing, Yang Jian, Blue-haired Lion King, do any of you have objections to the account of the entire incident?” After finishing his statement, Cheng Yaojin faced Yang Jian and the others and asked.

“None.” Yang Jian replied without any hesitation, speaking first.

His tone was straightforward and crisp, without even attempting any excuse such as being misled or duped.

“Although I am the Cave Master of Pansi Cave and hold the position of a Sect Leader, I was truly unaware of this matter. It was my senior sister, Flower Ten Women, who acted on her own, causing deep suffering to the fellow Sects, and for that, I am deeply ashamed,” Immortal Bingbing said, her eyes full of shame.

“None.” The Blue-haired Lion King's face was ashen as he simply said.

He was aware of the attack on Mount Fangcun and had also agreed to it, solely because his two sworn brothers had assured him with certainty that the matter was instigated by the Heavenly Palace and that there would be no hidden dangers.

Who would have expected that the current situation would end up with the Heavenly Palace acting all high and mighty in judgment, while they had become the ones being penalized?

“This matter was due to my failure to strictly govern my subordinates, and normally there should be no objections, but if you were to say that the responsibility lies only with our few Sects, then perhaps that would be somewhat unfair, wouldn't it?” King of Demons stood up and spoke slowly.

“Oh, what do you mean by that?” Cheng Yaojin asked, frowning slightly.

“Our Demon Clan lineage had already pledged allegiance to the Immortal Clan long ago. Without the Immortal Clan's instructions, we wouldn't have the gall to do such a thing. Isn't that right?” King of Demons continued calmly.

Hearing this, many among the listeners frowned, but no one responded out loud, all adopting a wait-and-see stance.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and serious.

“Are you implying that my Heavenly Palace has ordered you to attack Mount Fangcun?” Li Jing's voice resounded, and instantly his majestic presence burst forth, a formidable oppressive force sweeping across the Four Directions.

Shen Luo's figure swayed slightly but quickly steadied himself.

“There's no need for Heavenly King Li to rush to apply pressure with your position of power. This extended Conference is meant to be a discussion based on reason, not a contest of brute strength. Moreover, I didn't necessarily say that it was commanded by the Heavenly Palace; I only mentioned that the responsibility should not be entirely ours to bear,” King of Demons responded without fear, his voice laced with cold laughter.

“In that case, according to your view, what should be done?” Li Jing asked, his eyebrows lifting.

“The cause of the Mount Fangcun incident, I believe all of you are quite aware. They have been widely recruiting disciples from all directions within the Three Realms, regardless of whether they are from the Human Race, Immortal Clan, Demon Clan, or Demon Race, always open to newcomers. This has greatly disrupted the rules of all races, and their ambition to dominate the Three Realms is clear for all to see. Coupled with the Bodhi Ancestor's formidable cultivation level and his possession of the powerful treasure, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he has become a source of concern for all Sects in the Three Realms. What our Sects did was merely to respond to the will of the people of the Three Realms,” King of Demons spread his hands and said.

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar like a stone thrown into a pond, creating a stir.

The noise from below grew louder immediately, filled with some fierce and angry cursing.

Shen Luo's brow furrowed tightly, and one hand clenched unconsciously.

He had known before coming here that this Conference was not going to end well, and that trouble was likely to arise; he just hadn't expected it to come this quickly.
