Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1711

Chapter 1711: Chapter 868: As for This Princess_2

Facing the joint accusation and overwhelming anger of the two divine sects, Shen Wuguang’s face was ashen, yet he maintained his composure, commanding his martial artists to form a defensive stance, and argued loudly with humiliation and anger in his voice.

"Absurd! Utter nonsense! I, as the City Lord, have never met Gu Sheng, how could there be collusion between us?! Clearly, this is Gu Sheng’s act of framing me out of spite on his deathbed, intending to sow discord and make our Southern Border Divine Sect fight amongst ourselves! How could you fall for such a treacherous plot?!"

Both sides were armed with words and held their ground, the confrontation intensifying, with True Qi fluctuations subtly clashing, and a battle on the verge of breaking out.

At this tense moment, a pale purple tunneling light shot in from afar like a meteor, landing in front of the Purple Mist Divine Sect’s team in an instant. As the light dissipated, it revealed the heroic figure of Nangong Yuexia.

She was clad in light armor, surrounded by a purple mist-like True Qi, her aura steady and powerful, fully displaying the martial prowess of an elder of her generation.

Her arrival instantly drew the attention of everyone present.

The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire Divine Sect looked sharply at Nangong Yuexia, his tone questioning.

"Elder Nangong, you came at the right time! Your Purple Mist Divine Sect’s Shen Wuguang colluded with Gu Sheng, harming the elders of our Heavenly Fire Divine Sect and the young talents of the Longevity Divine Sect. Your Purple Mist Divine Sect must give an explanation for this matter! If you insist on shielding him, do not blame us for finding you complicit in the crime!"

Facing the questioning, Nangong Yuexia showed no sign of panic; instead, she pondered as if carefully considering.

She turned her gaze to the grim-faced Shen Wuguang and asked calmly.

"Lord Shen, is what the Heavenly Fire Elder said true? Did you really have any collusion with Gu Sheng?"

Shen Wuguang, seeing her demeanor, felt even angrier and gritted his teeth.

"Nangong Yuexia! Stop pretending here! I already told you, it was the slanderous framing by the villain Gu Sheng on his deathbed!"

"Oh? Framing?"

Nangong Yuexia narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a trace of cold light flashed, and she pursued further.

"Why did Gu Sheng not frame someone else, but specifically target you, Lord Shen? Could it be... there is indeed some unknown connection between you and him?"

"You!"

Shen Wuguang was momentarily at a loss for words from her questioning, then became angry and retorted.

"Nangong Yuexia, stop spitting venomous lies! I think you’re eager to see me wronged so you can easily gain control of Xiaguang City!"

Nangong Yuexia’s gaze suddenly turned cold, her tone becoming more severe.

"Lord Shen, mind your words! Gu Sheng is the public enemy of our Southern Border Divine Sect. This matter concerns the reputation and survival of my Purple Mist Divine Sect. How could I let personal interest undermine the greater goal?

I just find it peculiar. Gu Sheng was meticulous and cautious. Without inside help or support, would he dare to be so brazen and infiltrate this dragon’s den and tiger’s lair of a secret realm? Lord Shen, your suspicion... is indeed the greatest."

Her words, seemingly fair, actually pointed to Shen Wuguang, implying internal assistance and heavy suspicion.

Shen Wuguang was trembling with rage, about to argue back.

It was at this moment, another somewhat hurried purple tunneling light swiftly came from behind the Purple Mist Divine Sect’s ranks! A disciple in Moon Hall attire landed staggeringly with a panicked look, holding up a faintly glowing crystal, his voice filled with grief and urgency as he shouted.

"Elder! Lord Shen! Esteemed seniors! I have an important report! A senior brother from our Moon Hall previously discovered clues about Gu Sheng’s disguised identity. Before he could report to the hall, he was... brutally murdered! I risked my life to retrieve this memory crystal stone he left, which records the last scene he saw before his murder!"

The moment these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

All eyes instantly focused on the memory crystal in that disciple’s hands.

Not daring to delay, the disciple immediately activated his True Qi to trigger the memory crystal.
