Martial Master

"You all will naturally claim your innocence, but I, Piao Miao Palace, am equally innocent. The Deputy Palace Master of the Artifact Hall switched sides, and that is one example, for he knows the truth of the matter; he knows that his son, Master Mu Ye, was not killed by my Piao Miao Palace, which is why he has awakened to the truth."

Piao Miao Palace continued.

At the same time, the Deputy Palace Master of the Artifact Hall, Mu Xun, appeared and declared, "My son's death has nothing to do with Piao Miao Palace; he was secretly framed and falsely accused of being killed by Piao Miao Palace. I ask you all not to be blinded by the wicked."

As soon as Mu Xun appeared, he drew the wrath of the Xuanyuan Empire and the Ancient Square Sect, who condemned him for being ungrateful, turning his back at a critical moment, causing the death of the Ancient Square Sect Master, and severely injuring the Xuanyuan Emperor, spouting nonsense.

In fact, in this war, the Ancient Square Sect suffered the greatest losses, with even their sect master falling. The entire mountain gate had been shut tight, leaving only a few senior powerhouses in the sect to manage the situation, which was quite desolate.

"Don't be quick to believe the words of Piao Miao Palace. The members of the Demon Tribe can possess others, so Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun must have been possessed." A strong warrior who participated in the Ancient Yu Realm training spoke up, naming Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun as someone who might have been possessed.

This statement caused an uproar, with many feeling terrified. If the Demon Tribe could possess even Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun, a late-stage Martial God, that would be too frightening. "Ridiculous! Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun is the Deputy Palace Master of the Artifact Hall. If he were possessed, would there really be no one among the many powerful figures in the Artifact Hall who would know or notice? I ask the people of the Artifact Hall to come out and speak; who dares to say Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun has ever been possessed?"

Piao Miao Palace was even more aggressive, sneering repeatedly.

This made many commoners ponder and find it strange.

Indeed, even if the members of the Demon Tribe could possess martial artists from the Tianwu Continent, within the Artifact Hall, where strong figures were plentiful, whether a top-level powerhouse had been possessed would always leave some clues behind. How could there be no traces at all?

Moreover, Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun was a master craftsman; it would be even easier for others to uncover the signs.

But if Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun had not been possessed, why did he turn against us at such a critical moment, slaying Sikong Gu and seriously injuring the Xuanyuan Emperor?

This was inherently a paradox.

There must be some strange issues at play.

"Hmph! You insist that Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun has not been possessed; do you dare to let him come forward and confront this?" An elderly figure from the Ancient Square Sect shouted angrily. "You of the Ancient Square Sect, without asking for the truth, attacked my Piao Miao Palace, and now you dare to boast? Do you really think Piao Miao Palace can be bullied? As for letting Deputy Palace Master Mu Xun come out to confront, given his prior actions, I suspect you want to settle personal scores. The Ancient Square Sect is interpreting things wrongly and bullying the weak. My Piao Miao Palace oversees the Law Hall; how could we allow such a force to continue existing in the world? It must be eradicated soon."

This declaration shook the Martial Domain.

In this situation, Piao Miao Palace actually dared to be so arrogant; did they have some trump card?

The major forces were alarmed and became even more vigilant, not daring to act rashly.

"Too arrogant! Everyone, look! Piao Miao Palace has harmed the strong members of our major forces in the Ancient Yu Realm, and they are still so arrogant. We cannot allow them to continue unscathed; I ask you all to join forces and punish them severely, removing them from the Martial Domain."
