"Then in the future, Jinzu Court, or perhaps not just Jinzu Court... but the whole Buddha Gate?"
As soon as these words were uttered, all eyes instantly turned towards Wu Ji.
On the one-hundred-day celebration of the Town Northern City King's son, representatives from Wuhua Palace appeared on the King's invitation list, making everything self-evident...
Ling Xu, who still possessed the discipline of cultivating both body and spirit, stared coldly at Mo Li and continued, "Miss Mo Li, do you understand the consequences of what you're saying?"
With a faint smile, Mo Li, toying with the Longsword in her hands, replied, "I'm not clear about the consequences, but to my knowledge, a few days ago, Elder Ling Xu had a dispute with Ji Tongzhi as well as so rather special cultivators outside Northern Border Pass with Queen Lin. I wonder if you erged victorious or defeated?"
Ling Xu raised his eyebrows and, brandishing the implent in his hand, said, "Where did Miss Mo Li hear that?"
Mo Li took a step forward and said calmly, "The Elder only needs to tell , did this matter occur?"
Before Ling Xu could answer, Abbot Wu Wei spoke up, "A few days ago, Elder Ling Xu indeed was not at Wuhua Palace; so have seen Elder Ling Xu at North Zhi Mountain, not far from Northern Border Pass."
Ling Xu's expression changed slightly. He huffed, "So what if it's true? What about it?"
Mo Li laughed and said, "Since you've seemingly acknowledged it, then everything is easy to handle. I just want to ask Elder Ling Xu, why, as a person from Wuhua Palace, did you appear at North Zhi Mountain outside Northern Border Pass?"
Ling Xu's heart jolted. He'd already guessed Mo Li's intentions, but it was too late. Caught between a rock and a hard place, he had no choice but to answer, "Is Miss Mo Li not allowing this old man to visit North Zhi Mountain?"
Mo Li shook her head and said, "Of course not. I was just wondering why, when Ji Tongzhi attacked Northern Border Pass, Elder Ling Xu happened to appear there? If this is a coincidence, isn't it a bit too coincidental? The South Emperor is currently in the Western Wasteland. It's not hard to investigate this matter. Previously, I ntioned that there are so special cultivators around Elder Ling Xu."
Ling Xu fell silent.
Mo Li paused for a mont. Her gaze sharpened instantly as she swept over Ling Xu, then she stared straight at the Town Northern City King!
"Since Elder Ling Xu has nothing to say, it's fortunate that the Town Northern City King is also present at this mont."
The Town Northern City King's eyes narrowed slightly. With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked up at Mo Li in the sky, wondering what she was about to say.
"Since Elder Ling Xu does not wish to speak, then today I shall take it that Elder Ling Xu has tacitly admitted to this matter. So, I want to ask... Ji Beiwang!!"
Previously, Mo Li had spoken eloquently and unhurriedly, giving off the serene feeling of calm spring water. But she suddenly bellowed the na of the Town Northern City King, her voice abruptly intensifying like thunder from a clear sky, silencing all the cultivators in the courtyard.
Only then did everyone realize that Mo Li's true target, all along, had been the Town Northern City King!
"Why would you, the venerable Town Northern City King of Dongfeng Ancient Country, allow the South Emperor to direct your actions? Have you forgotten that while this land is indeed ruled by Ji Nanjue, how much of it was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of your father, the Supre Emperor?!"
Mo Li took another step forward, her Longsword humming and trembling in her hand!
The snow filling the skies suddenly froze in mid-air.
She took another step forward and declared in a deep voice, "Ling Xu! The South Emperor conspires with West Wilderness Cultivators, swallowing our Twenty-One Provinces! What more do you have to say? You've seduced Ji Tongzhi and puppeteered Ji Pingsheng! And now you seek to delude Ji Beiwang as well?! With only the corner of Town Northern City left to the Eastern Country, isn't the world divided into four?! The people of the Twenty-One Provinces share a hatred with the Western Wasteland that is irreconcilable! Have you all forgotten the Cataclysm of Ten Thousand Clans from years past?! Who in this world is truly spouting nonsense? Who in this world truly harbors such rapacious ambition? Heaven and Earth are my witnesses! The sun and moon shine clearly upon this! The common people are suffering, the populace is in dire straits—who is responsible for all this?! Do the Twenty-One Provinces wish to endure another calamity born of such blood and hatred, like the one a thousand years ago?!"
