Chapter 709: Chapter 708: Do You Dare to Swear?
Long Zhan’s aura was exceptionally terrifying, no less formidable than Xiang Batian.
The Dragon Clan itself was very powerful, far superior to other races.
On the side of the human race, only those with the Supreme Physique would be able to contend with Long Zhan.
But Long Zhan was different from other races; his body contained true dragon blood, making him even more formidable.
Stronger than the bodies of other Dragon Clan members, he could hold his own against Xiang Batian.
This time, Long Zhan was truly angered.
If it were just a matter between the two sides, he might not have acted.
But it was different if the Demon God Temple intervened.
Moreover, all that remained of the Mang Jiao Clan were these people before him; the rest had been annihilated, essentially severing the root of the Mang Jiao Clan.
It could almost be said that the Mang Jiao Clan had been wiped out, and Long Zhan would definitely not stand idly by as an ancient race was extinguished.
And it was the Origin Sect Master from the Demon God Temple who had made the move.
Under all these conditions, this ancient race’s overlord would absolutely not stay out of it; he was about to enter the fray if the humans did not provide an explanation.
This would lead to a great war between the Myriad Tribes and the human race.
Looking at the situation before him, Tongtian the Elder felt a great headache, although he knew the Origin Sect Master wanted to destroy the Demon God Temple.
But he had not anticipated that the Origin Sect Master would actually target the Mang Jiao Clan, making it apparent that the situation was indeed true.
With the wisdom of Tongtian the Elder, he certainly understood what the Origin Sect Master intended to do.
"Truly foolish!"
Tongtian the Elder felt helpless inside; he had already warned the Origin Sect Master before, yet he still went ahead and did it.
"Yuanchu, what is this about, explain yourself."
This time, Tongtian the Elder would not be siding with the Origin Sect Master.
You can only rely on yourself now.
This!
The Origin Sect Master was suddenly at a loss, looking at Long Zhan seething with anger, and the Mang Jiao Clan becoming frenzied.
He suddenly felt immense pressure.
It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him; damn it, how did these guys know it was me?
I clearly concealed my appearance, how could they have known?
The Origin Sect Master inwardly cried out in anger.
He simply could not understand; his secret technique should have been impenetrable.
Why could the Demon God Temple know of it?
Even the Devil Temple Token he used was from another force, not the one from the Yuanchu Sect.
He couldn’t admit it, he absolutely couldn’t admit it this time.
Otherwise, the Yuanchu Sect would definitely face extinction.
The frenzied Mang Jiao Clan would certainly spare no concerns for their lives when striking against the Yuanchu Sect, and the ancient races would join in too.
Because they were indeed at fault in this matter.
By that time, the outcome would be severe, and the tragic events of tens of thousands of years ago would recur.
The current human race was not prepared for war, and Tongtian the Elder had no such intentions either.
After thinking for a moment, the Origin Sect Master forced himself to calm down, then said with a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with me, you are framing me, or is this a deliberate scheme by your Demon God Temple?"
As soon as these words came out, the leader of the Mang Jiao Clan immediately showed disdain and said angrily, "According to you, the Demon God Temple, without any benefit, just wants to target us?"
"And if you have no connection with the Demon God Temple, why would they frame you? Although I don’t like the Demon God Temple either, I know that they don’t deliberately target anyone unless someone invites them."
"Now, our Mang Jiao Clan has no dealings with the Demon God Temple; why would they want to kill us, why frame you?"
The Mang Jiao Clan Leader directly lashed out at the Origin Sect Master.
This speech made the members of the Demon God Temple feel embarrassed. It seemed they too had principles.
But it seemed the Mang Jiao Clan Leader was right; without any benefits, they wouldn’t take action.
"I’ve said no, I, the Origin Sect Master, never lie. Mang Jiao, if you want to use this opportunity to make a move against me, you can absolutely bring it into the open!"
"Moreover, the destruction of your Mang Jiao Clan has nothing to do with me. If you are angry, just go find the Demon God Temple yourself."
At this point, the Origin Sect Master looked coldly at Xiang Batian: "Heh heh, I don’t know why you’re framing me like this, but if you say it’s me, bring out the evidence."
He definitely couldn’t admit to it now, otherwise he wouldn’t stand a chance.
Now, he could only stubbornly deny everything and take a gamble.
The Demon God Temple had no evidence; he didn’t believe that with his own methods, the Demon God Temple could bring out any evidence against him.
Although he felt uneasy after being recognized by the Demon God Temple, at least he couldn’t admit it.
"Heh heh, you deny it?"
Xiang Batian watched the Origin Sect Master with a cold gaze.
"That’s right, it wasn’t me!"
The Origin Sect Master continued to stubbornly deny everything.
Without wasting words, Xiang Batian made a gesture, and an image appeared in the void.
It showed the Origin Sect Master meeting with Liu Zheng.
The image showed the Origin Sect Master returning to the Yuanchu Sect and his avatar entering his body after leaving.
Seeing this image, the Origin Sect Master’s face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "This image is fake, it can’t be real."
"Heh heh, if it’s fake, then do you dare to swear an oath to the Great Dao? Do you dare to swear?"
Xiang Batian said with disdain.
The Origin Sect Master immediately panicked.
Swearing an oath to the Great Dao was not to be taken lightly; violating it would result in severe backlash from the rules, with serious consequences.
In more severe cases, it could lead directly to death.
And no matter what realm you were in, the outcome would be the same.
Facing this direct request from Xiang Batian, the Origin Sect Master was now in a panic.
It really was he who had asked the Demon God Temple to take action, and if he swore now, he would definitely suffer a backlash.
This was akin to telling everyone that he was the one who had asked the Demon God Temple to act.
Without a doubt, the Origin Sect Master now had no way out; admission or denial had become irrelevant.
Even if he told everyone it wasn’t him, but then swore and suffered backlash, anyone could see the truth.
Under the gaze of all the powerful beings present, the Origin Sect Master, sweating profusely, still gritted his teeth and said, "This matter wasn’t done by me, there is no need for me to swear an oath."
All he could do now was stubbornly hold on. Besides, even if he confessed the truth, the human side would still support him.
Upon his words, Long Zhan’s eyes grew even colder.
Tongtian Elder sighed softly.
Xiang Batian reached out his hand toward the Origin Sect Master and said sternly, "Then it’s very simple, a soul search will reveal whether you’ve done it or not."
The immense palm and the powerful pressure changed the expressions of all the strong ones present, even the Quasi-Emperors felt a sense of trepidation.
