Chapter 87: No More Face (First Order Request)
"Brother Manjusri."

Wang Mo got off his mount, bowed to the Taoist Manjusri, and said solemnly, "Please tell us what happened that day, Brother Dao."

His tone was polite and his words were chosen carefully.

Li Xingba, who was standing by, could not help but frown secretly when he saw this, and said in a voice transmission: "Our apprentice was most likely killed by him. Why are you still being so polite to him, brother? People will think we are afraid of him!"

At the side, the second brother Yang Sen, who had not spoken a word, said, "Fourth brother, please don't say too much. The eldest brother has his own opinion on this matter."

He wore a lotus seed headband, a black robe, a face like the bottom of a pot, a beard like cinnabar, two long and thick yellow eyebrows, and rode an extremely majestic Suanni, looking very majestic.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingba said in a somewhat unhappy voice: "Even so, it still makes people feel very unhappy!"

Gao Youqian also transmitted his message: "Although the Taoist Manjusri is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, we have more people and more power. If we really fight, we will not be inferior to him!
Now that Big Brother is showing weakness, it has brought shame to our Jie Sect!"

He and Li Xingba both have hot tempers, and they are used to being domineering in the East China Sea. Seeing the old boss Wang Mo showing weakness to Manjusri Taoist, he is naturally very unhappy!

Taoist Manjusri looked at Wang Mo and was slightly surprised.

This Demon King is the leader of the Four Saints of Jiulong Island. He has the deepest Taoism and the highest realm, but he is also the most cautious. He does not look like a disciple of Jiejiao at all!
It’s not that he is prejudiced against the disciples of Jiejiao.

Rather, the disciples of Jiejiao are generally recognized as arrogant and rude in the prehistoric world. Many of them are used to relying on the reputation of Jiejiao to bully others and have no idea what restraint is.

Just like Li Xingba before, he grabbed Li Jing and his wife directly after a disagreement, completely disregarding the fact that doing so might hurt the many guests in the general's mansion.

It can be said that in his eyes, these lives are nothing at all!
Many disciples of Jiejiao have no distinction between good and evil. They extract people's souls to make elixirs and weapons, use people to test poisons, and use them as targets to practice magic. Even cannibalism for fun is common in Jiejiao!
The law of the jungle is fully demonstrated among the disciples of Jiejiao.

Of course, these are basically outer disciples.

He is the kind of person who has the name of Jiejiao and occasionally has the opportunity to listen to the saints' preaching, but he cannot enter the hall.

However, there are also some elites among the outer disciples who are not only highly skilled in Taoism, but also understand the rules and know when to advance and retreat.

For example, Wang Mo is this kind of person.

He knew very well that the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect all had great magical powers and were not easy to provoke, so if it was not necessary, he was not willing to conflict with Manjusri Bodhisattva.

Manjusri Taoist was also able to understand what the other party meant.

After a brief thought, he said truthfully: "I did go to Youhun Pass that day, but when I arrived, your disciple had already been reduced to ashes..."

Yang Ling nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Taoist Manjusri is right, that was the situation at the time!"

Taoist Manjusri's face turned dark and he almost couldn't help but take action.

Clearly what he said was the truth, but for some reason after Yang Ling said that, it seemed as if he was lying!
Even the looks that the Four Saints of Nine Dragon Island gave him seemed increasingly strange.

This feeling made him quite uncomfortable!

He was now gradually able to understand why Jade Ding Zhenren could break through his defenses time and time again.

Anyone would be overwhelmed if they met a guy who doesn't play by the rules!
After listening to what Manjusri Taoist and Yang Ling said, the Four Saints of Jiulong Island communicated with each other using the art of soul transmission, and then Wang Mo stepped forward and said, "Brother Manjusri Taoist, did our disciple really die from the backlash of the resentful spirit?"

Taoist Manjusri frowned slightly.

He could see that Wang Mo had no intention of pursuing the matter further, and this sentence was equivalent to giving him a way out.

As long as he nodded, whether he killed General Xu or not, the matter would be over and both sides could get away with it.

If he had really killed General Xu, at this moment, Taoist Manjusri would have said "you are tactful" in his heart, and then happily walked down the stairs.

But he wasn't the one who killed General Xu!
Why should he take this step?
Besides, if he took this opportunity, wouldn't Yang Ling also follow suit and back off the ladder?
This was something he didn't want to see.

But now the Four Saints of Kowloon Island clearly doubt him even more!

These disciples of Jiejiao are really stupid!
He was just General Xu, so he could just kill him. Why should he hide it? Taoist Wenshu felt depressed.

He doesn't have much choice now.

At this point, even if he asked Li Jing and his wife to come out and testify for him, the Four Saints of Jiulong Island would probably not believe it in their hearts.

Therefore, the best way at the moment is to smooth things over and arrange a death for General Xu that everyone can accept - death by the backlash of the vengeful spirit.

Taoist Manjusri thought for a moment, but in the end he was too lazy to argue with them anymore, and said calmly: "Yes, I saw this with my own eyes."

"Right, that is it!"

Yang Ling also gave his affirmation.

Taoist Manjusri's eyes turned slightly cold, and the anger in his heart grew stronger.

If he hadn't been suspected of "silencing the witness" by taking action at this moment, I'm afraid he would have been unable to control himself and taken action long ago!
When Jade Ding Zhenren set up this trap, he was also involved. Unexpectedly, he was the one who broke the trap for Yang Ling in the end!

It's like shooting yourself in the foot.

Feeling very depressed!

Gao Youqian and Li Xingba, two of the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, also felt aggrieved.

In their opinion, Manjusri Taoist was most likely the murderer who killed their disciple, but their eldest brother Wang Mo took the initiative to give him a way out.

Isn't this destroying your own prestige and boosting the ambitions of others?
If this gets out, wouldn't it bring shame to their Jie Sect?

The more Li Xingba thought about it, the angrier he became. However, he also knew that he could not be a match for Taoist Manjusri on his own, so he could only shift his gaze away from Taoist Manjusri and turn to look at Yang Ling not far away, with a hideous sneer on his face.

If I can’t deal with Manjusri Taoist, the Golden Immortal of the Chan School, can I not deal with you?
Thinking of this, he waved his sleeves and stretched out his right hand again, which turned into a giant palm that covered the sky and the sun, and grabbed towards Yang Ling.

At the same time, he shouted, "Boy, you haven't been punished for kicking me just now!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Mo frowned slightly, but did not say anything to stop him.

He knew that his fourth brother was resentful and it would be a good thing for him to vent it out.

Seeing Li Xingba swinging his giant palm with a strong wind towards him, Yang Ling felt calm.

He practiced the "Xing" secret slowly and his body became erratic.

Just when Li Xingba's giant palm was about to touch him, Yang Ling's body shook and disappeared like a shadow, and his real body had already arrived in the distance.

With a playful smile on his face, he laughed loudly and said, "Yang has long heard that Jiejiao is the greatest sect in the prehistoric world where thousands of immortals come to pay homage, and that all the disciples in the sect are bold and straightforward, with great magical powers. I didn't expect to be greatly disappointed when I saw them today!
How dare you call yourselves holy? You know the murderer is right in front of you and you dare not take action. Instead, you keep attacking an innocent person like me!

It is really admirable that you bully the weak and fear the strong - you disciples of Jiejiao really have no shame at all!"

"presumptuous!"

"you wanna die!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingba and Gao Youqian's faces turned pale, and the anger in their hearts erupted like a volcano, almost burning their rationality to ashes.

Yang Ling's words undoubtedly hit their sore spot, making them feel extremely humiliated and lose all face.

Without any hesitation, the two men urged their mounts and rushed towards Yang Ling, vowing to tear the guy who insulted them into pieces!
Although Wang Mo and Yang Sen did not move, their faces were so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of them.

Originally, they and Manjusri Taoist still had a way out, and neither side would lose face, but now Yang Ling's words were equivalent to directly destroying all their superficial efforts!
Apart from anything else, at least the label of bullying the weak and fearing the strong will definitely be pinned on their heads.
