Chapter 127: If I Don’t Train Her to Be a Dog, I’ll Write My Name Backwards!
The long wind was bleak, blood energy pervaded the air, yet Zhao Wutian’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
It was as if he had been completely erased; even Zhou Tong could not find a trace of him.
“Something feels off.”
Zhou Tong furrowed his brow.
The opponent not only had the source of the Demonic Race within them but also the Great Formation protecting them; it was absolutely impossible for them to perish in just one strike.
More importantly, as the array master, if he died, the Great Formation would immediately collapse.
Yet the Array of Lively Stillness was still functioning, turning the Imperial Capital into a prison, allowing only outside people to enter, while those inside could not escape!
“Everyone be careful; the situation is not over. Please stay alert and do not stray from your companions.”
Qian Miaoyu noticed Zhou Tong’s grave expression and called out to those below.
Upon hearing this, many faces that were previously filled with delight were soon replaced with deep concern.
“What a load of nonsense!”
Just then, a discordant voice rang out.
The speaker was none other than Mo Liushu.
She had previously been severely punished by You Jingfeng, her face bruised and battered, and even her spatial ring had exploded, scattering spiritual stones everywhere.
But in just a moment, she had restored herself through the use of pills.
Now, holding a scepter, she looked rather imposing.
“Everyone, do not be gullible to someone’s alarmist rhetoric. We can see clearly that the thief has already been killed, so what danger could possibly remain?”
As she gazed at Zhou Tong high in the sky, the corner of Mo Liushu’s mouth curled up in a cold smirk.
For some unknown reason, she had long grown accustomed to seeing that familiar face fall to the ground, struggling desperately, suffering for survival.
Now, seeing him so high and in the spotlight, made her extremely displeased.
It was as if something was about to slip out of her control, no longer solely hers.
Even if he merely resembled Zhou Tong, she would not allow that situation to occur.
“What do you mean by that? Is it possible that our Guest Senior, a distinguished Sage, would lie to us?”
Immediately, someone expressed their dissatisfaction and confrontationally pushed back.
“Hmph… that’s hard to say. You know a person’s face but not their heart; in the world of practitioners, the only one you can trust is yourself!”
Mo Liushu relentlessly continued, arguing with reason: “The Great Formation is still in operation; it might just be that someone took over, wanting to continue refining us!”
Upon hearing this, gasps of horror echoed as more people began to raise their heads in terror, uncertainly looking at Zhou Tong.
After Mo Liushu’s words, some immediately wavered, unable to suppress the fear rising within.
That was an opportunity to achieve the Great Dao; could even a Sage guarantee they would not be tempted?
“A load of nonsense!”
More people erupted in anger, pointing accusatory fingers at Mo Liushu.
“The Guest Senior just fought bravely to save us, and you only dare to hide below, trembling with fear. What right do you have to speak ill of him?”
“That’s right, you don’t even qualify to be compared to the Guest Senior; you’re not worth even a single hair of his!”
Hearing this, a murderous intent surged in Mo Liushu’s eyes.
To say she was inferior to the owner of that face was a tremendous humiliation to her.
Soon, she forced a cold smile and said indifferently, “Perhaps this was his plan from the very beginning, letting Zhao Wutian take the lead, then replacing him through deception to ultimately achieve his goal!”
“If it wasn’t so, who could explain why the Great Formation is still functioning? Among us, the one most knowledgeable about the array is this Guest Senior!”
As her words left her lips, others found themselves unable to refute her; her skill at slandering was commendable, and the Guest Senior was simply unable to prove his innocence.
Sure enough, some truly began to believe her claims, glaring at Zhou Tong with doubt written all over their faces.
“Guest Senior, do you have any proof to demonstrate your innocence?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong smiled and shook his head.
“You truly cannot prove your innocence, which means you were never clean to begin with.”
Down below, Tang Qi also stepped forward, condemning Zhou Tong loudly.
The thought of having this person attacked by the crowd and trapped in a vortex of self-evidence excited him to the point of trembling.
Since he could not surpass the other, he would simply ruin him!
“Everyone… I eliminated Zhao Wutian solely to kill the Demonic Race; as for protecting you, that was just incidental!”
Zhou Tong said nonchalantly, “If you choose to trust me, stay close; otherwise, the consequences are yours to bear!”
At these words, an idiot stood up immediately.
“Hmph! Still dare to speak big here. We don’t believe you; do you think you can’t survive without us?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, this group of top-tier fools began to jump around, abandoning their companions, racing out of the Imperial Capital.
Before long, there was a loud bang as they crashed into the barrier.
Even more terrifying was that a blood-colored whirlwind immediately appeared in the void, enveloping them.
“No!!”
Just before their deaths, the few shouted in despair, and then they turned into a mist of blood, drifting in the air.
This scene made everyone tremble; even Mo Liushu could not help but have her pupils constrict.
She knew the Guest Senior was not lying; those who slandered others understood just how wronged they were better than those who were actually wronged!
Even so, she was determined to go down this dark path.
“You have a cruel heart; these people only questioned you, and you used the Great Formation to kill them. Do you have any shred of conscience…”
“Enough, Master!”
Chen Ling’er looked at Mo Liushu, her eyes filled with disappointment.
“Master, you’ve changed. I am so disappointed in you!”
This was something she had said countless times to Zhou Tong, yet now, it was aimed at Mo Liushu.
“You dare to question me…”
Mo Liushu’s eyes widened; she never expected Chen Ling’er would also dare to stab her in the back.
“Get out of my sight, and take that waste beside you with you. Since you don’t understand the importance of respecting your master, I see no need to protect you!”
She looked down at Lian Hanxing and Chen Ling’er, knowing that if the two left her side in this environment, they would surely perish in that bloodlight.
This was also her old trick, using death to threaten her disciples to force them to submit, but unfortunately, she had never succeeded.
“We’re leaving!”
Lian Hanxing held Chen Ling’er and moved closer to the Zhou Tong in the sky.
Rather than feeling sad, Chen Ling’er grew somewhat delighted as she looked toward Zhou Tong’s approaching figure.
“Go on, you will soon regret this!”
Mo Liushu remained calm; she thought she had already weathered the Three Calamities and Four Trials and no longer needed to rely on Zhou Tong, so she showed a bit of recklessness.
Sure enough, just as the two were about to leave, a streak of blood light shot toward them, aiming to spill their blood.
“Disperse!”
Zhou Tong acted swiftly, raising his hand to disperse it, allowing the two to reach him safely.
“Did everyone see? Everything is under his control; only those who obey him qualify to live!”
Mo Liushu continued her tirade.
“Stubborn as a mule, she must be taught a lesson!”
Lian Hanxing felt anger rise within her, casting a glance at Zhou Tong, seeking his opinion.
Upon seeing Zhou Tong slightly nod, Lian Hanxing finally smiled and reached for the red string on her wrist.
This time, if she didn’t train Mo Liushu to be a dog, she would write her name backwards!
