Chapter 2389 - 98:
Although Immortal Lord Zi Yi and Immortal Lord Yan Chui did not see Demonic Lord Du Dao throw anything, they instantly believed what the Four Heavens Sword Monarch said.
Others might not know, but they are aware that Demonic Lord Du Dao is a traitor to the Human Clan, colluding with the Alien Race.
However, they can’t help the Four Heavens Sword Monarch in this situation.
If they help the Four Heavens Sword Monarch and make everyone believe in the Four Heavens Sword Monarch, then the Four Heavens Sword Monarch won’t die, and how will they obtain Demonic Lord Du Dao’s corpse?
Without Demonic Lord Du Dao’s corpse, how can they claim credit?
On the contrary, as long as the Four Heavens Sword Monarch dies, they have a great chance to obtain Demonic Lord Du Dao’s corpse. After all, they were initially with Demonic Lord Du Dao, and they can fully claim that, as the first ones to see Demonic Lord Du Dao, his death is a heavy loss and regret for them, and they want to return Demonic Lord Du Dao’s corpse to his Great Teaching, thus getting the corpse naturally in their hands.
So, despite knowing full well that the Four Heavens Sword Monarch is not lying, they must make the Four Heavens Sword Monarch die!
Immortal Lord Zi Yi had a fleeting thought and suddenly spoke, "You say so much, but do you have any evidence? Now that Taoist Du Dao is dead, you can naturally say anything you want.
Besides, under normal circumstances, it should have been Vast Universe Immortal Monarch and Taoist Du Dao exploring together. Why did you suddenly insist on going with Taoist Du Dao? Was it at that moment you wanted to eliminate Taoist Du Dao?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the surrounding people changed.
Immortal Lord Yun Huo exclaimed, "Yes, why did you insist on going with Taoist Du Dao? You must have known Taoist Du Dao had some treasure, so you wanted to kill Taoist Du Dao and take his treasure for yourself?"
"Treasure?" Cao Zhen shook his head with a light laugh, "This is my first time meeting Demonic Lord Du Dao, how could I know what treasure he has? Besides, although I am a Loose Cultivator, I once had a great encounter and am not interested in his treasures.
As for whether what I said is true, we can check his Heaven and Earth Ring and find out."
As Cao Zhen spoke, he wielded his Sharp Sword to draw a circle in front of him.
The surrounding people were taken aback upon seeing his sword-waving action and hurriedly retreated.
Cao Zhen cut down a section of wild grass in front of him to get a better view, then planted the Sharp Sword directly into the ground, indicating that he had no intention of attacking anyone, and helplessly said, "I was just cutting grass."
Saying this, he stretched out the hand without the Heaven and Earth Ring and said, "You all can see, I don’t have a Heaven and Earth Ring on this hand, and as you’ve seen before, Taoist Du Dao isn’t dead. You also watched me the entire way; I didn’t make any moves or stuff anything into Taoist Du Dao’s Heaven and Earth Ring."
The crowd nodded upon hearing this. They were afraid the Four Heavens Sword Monarch might attack them, so they kept a close watch on the Four Heavens Sword Monarch and were certain he hadn’t done anything suspicious.
The reason Cao Zhen wanted to kill Demonic Lord Du Dao in front of everyone was for this exact reason. If he had killed Demonic Lord Du Dao early on and returned with the corpse, anything in the opponent’s Heaven and Earth Ring would be assumed he put there to frame Demonic Lord Du Dao. But now...
"So everyone, everything in his Heaven and Earth Ring is his. Let’s check it out,"
As he spoke, Cao Zhen reached into Demonic Lord Du Dao’s Heaven and Earth Ring and pulled out items. Instantly, herbs, bottles of pills, and various resources were pulled out.
The more he pulled out, the more peculiar the crowd’s expressions became.
This Demonic Lord Du Dao owning seven Immortal Palaces has many resources, which is expected, yet the amount seems excessive. Especially there are many corpses among these resources, from various clans, including even the Human Clan’s.
Of course, the majority are corpses from the Insect Clan.
Cao Zhen pointed at these corpses, "Now, it’s certain that there’s an issue with him, right? Those are indeed from the Insect Clan, and among the races, only the Insect Clan’s queen requires so many corpses, especially when the majority are from the Insect Clan."
Sword Lord Hua Yu immediately nodded and said, "What Four Skies Fellow said is reasonable, if he wasn’t colluding with the Insect Clan, why would he collect so many corpses?"
Cao Zhen instantly gave Sword Lord Hua Yu a approving look, a good person indeed. Later, when there’s time, I must properly teach you some Swordsmanship.
Yet beside him, Immortal Lord Yun Huo’s voice rang again: "Not quite, if you put it that way, Four Heavens Sword Monarch, you have also been collecting various corpses, how do you explain that?"
Cao Zhen was stunned, he had indeed been collecting corpses, and they were indeed for the Insect Clan’s queen, but the issue was, the Insect Clan’s queen was his prisoner and puppet, which was decidedly different.
But he couldn’t explain this.
Unexpectedly, he couldn’t clear the suspicion against him due to the corpses he collected on the road.
Cao Zhen thought and defended himself: "Well... the issue is, his corpses include those of the Human Clan. I haven’t collected any Human Clan corpses."
"That may be because you didn’t have the opportunity to get Human Clan corpses." Suddenly, Linghu Gudu’s voice rang out.
