Chapter 122 - 118 Disappointment
Ji Xue also noticed Li Fan, who stepped forward. Her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of surprise—why was he here too?
Was he here for the Yun Meng Swamp trial?
Huang Xiong swept his gaze over the crowd and recognized the group of Bai Lu Academy disciples. He clasped his hands and said, "I am Huang Xiong. This man wearing a mask infiltrated the Demon Hunting Team to murder and steal the Demon Core. And now, he dares to turn the tables and slander us."
"Utter nonsense." Dai Long rebuked coldly, glaring at Huang Xiong. He said, "I study at Bai Lu Academy. I came to Yun Meng Swamp to slay demons for the trial. If I needed a Demon Core, I would kill demons myself—not steal yours. You led the Demon Hunting Team to ambush us as we hunted demons, killing my companions and injuring me. And now, you have the audacity to make false accusations?"
"Senior brothers, please execute these two on the spot."
The members of Bai Lu Academy fixed their gaze on Huang Xiong. The man stood tall and imposing like a fiendish brute, holding an iron cudgel still stained with blood.
By comparison, they were inclined to trust Dai Long, who was a fellow academy disciple.
At this moment, the rest of the Demon Hunting Team stepped forward. Each wore a palpable aura of ferocity, their bodies still stained with blood from wiping out the ambushing team earlier.
When they spotted the Bai Lu Academy disciples, they hesitated for a moment.
Soon, they realized—the masked man was a Bai Lu Academy student?
"Senior brothers, look! These are the ones who attacked and surrounded us. The blood on them proves what they’ve done. These villains must not be spared." Dai Long exclaimed indignantly.
