Chapter 277 Others Are So Kind
Chapter 277: Blaming Others Unfairly
While Miao Renlong explained, he dodged and defended against Ao Mo's attacks.
Seeing them fighting again, Fu Hu quickly intervened.
He didn't want to see evidence pointing to someone from the Western State Alliance attacking the Sea Monster Race. If that were the case, the Western State Alliance would become very passive.
Moreover, what Miao Renlong said made sense. The Wanling Cave was indeed skilled in using Gu, but that didn't necessarily mean that anyone with Gu was responsible for the incident.
It would be too unjust to kill Miao Renlong based solely on these grounds.
With Fu Hu speaking up first, Long Yi couldn't stay out of it either. After all, when dealing with external matters, the Human Alliance should act as one.
He casually added a few words.
Seeing this, the Western Emperor also knew that it wouldn't be easy to pin the blame on Miao Renlong. The two humans would protect him.
But at this point, they were getting closer and closer to the truth. The Western Emperor was really worried that all the truth would be exposed by the strange Daoist Zhen Shan.
She could only seize every opportunity to shift the blame.
"Just now, Master Zhen Shan said that he sensed a familiar aura at the scene, which means that the murderer is very likely among the three of you. If it wasn't someone from the Wanling Cave, could it be one of you? Or perhaps all of you were involved, which is why you're so desperate to defend each other?"
The Western Emperor's attempt to shift the blame was quite clever, and Ao Mo, who already trusted the Western Emperor's intelligence, found her reasoning to be sound.
He already had a negative impression of the Human Alliance, and now that he learned that they might have united against him, he certainly wouldn't accept being bullied like this.
Although the other side had one more person, Ao Mo had no intention of giving up.
It's just a bluff.
Who doesn't know how to bluff?
"Are you trying to provoke a war with my Sea Monster Race by treating me like this?"
Ao Mo made up his mind. If these people didn't give him an explanation today, he would never let it go.
He would retaliate!
The three members of the Human Alliance felt a headache. They had already provided an explanation, and they weren't biased towards anyone. They just wanted the situation to follow a basic logic.
However, the Black Emperor couldn't be reasoned with, and the Western Emperor had ulterior motives.
Of course, only Long Yi knew why the Western Emperor had ulterior motives. The other two thought she was just being unreasonable, like the Black Emperor.
They couldn't communicate with these barbarians.
And they had already said everything that needed to be said. They couldn't let Miao Renlong be wrongly accused in this situation, nor could they beg for mercy from the Sea Monster Race.
Everyone had their dignity and couldn't afford to lose face.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Seeing this, the Western Emperor felt more at ease.
Fight, fight fiercely!
It would be best to skip the investigation and trigger a war between the two races.
This way, although it would also harm the Western Emperor's interests, it would ensure that her conspiracy wouldn't be discovered.
Although she was deeply saddened by the losses caused by the closure of the waterway in the past few days, it wouldn't be a big deal if she could solve the problem with money.
As the big shots were about to clash, the silent Daoist Zhen Shan, who had been watching from the sidelines, wouldn't let them fight. Although Ao Mo's anger was already strong enough, his hatred hadn't reached its peak.
Don't be fooled by his angry appearance now. In fact, his hatred towards Miao Renlong wasn't stable yet.
Relying solely on the Gu worms wasn't enough to determine that Miao Renlong was responsible for everything.
Ao Mo was just being led by the Western Emperor, and subconsciously, he still had doubts.
In this state, it was impossible for him to desperately kill Miao Renlong.
So, the real show was about to begin.
"Before you rush into a fight, why don't we find out who the Gu worms belong to? We can trace the caster, right?"
The tense crowd: "..."
At this moment, they all seemed foolish.
Miao Renlong looked at Zhen Shan with a slightly friendlier gaze. Only someone who had been wrongly accused would understand how unjust it felt.
He believed that Zhen Shan's proposal could help prove his innocence, but he didn't know that Zhang Chi was just waiting for his hatred to reach its peak and for Ao Mo's anger to explode.
Miao Renlong's attitude became slightly friendlier, but only slightly. He still blamed Zhen Shan. If it weren't for his nonsense, Ao Mo wouldn't have targeted him, and he wouldn't have had to dodge so miserably just now.
He was already quite old, and it was embarrassing to be in such a state in front of his peers. He would settle this account later.
Under everyone's anticipation, Zi Mian performed a secret technique.
In fact, there was nothing.
Tracing the owner through the beast pet was also a common practice in the Immortal Cultivation World. The owner would usually leave a slave mark inside the beast pet, which indicated the presence of soul power.
With this soul power, it was natural to trace the owner.
But the theory is simple, yet the operation is particularly difficult.
Firstly, the power of the soul will gradually disappear over time, and it may not be possible to capture the residual soul power.
Furthermore, the soul power attached to the slave seal is generally weak, and to capture such weak soul power, one's own soul must be particularly sensitive.
This cannot be achieved simply by having a strong Divine Soul power; the sensitivity of the soul is unrelated to the strength of the soul.
For example, some people may not have strong abilities, but they can discern goodwill from malice, which is a manifestation of soul sensitivity.
On the other hand, there are also many like Ao Mo, who are powerful but are easily deceived without any awareness.
After meeting these two conditions, finding a target is like finding a needle in a haystack.
After the soul power is recorded, finding a matching target can only be done by searching through the vast sea of people. Only when a corresponding target is found can it be considered a success.
This is similar to Zhang Chi's fingerprint matching in his past life. Finding fingerprints at the crime scene does not mean the case is solved. In the vast sea of people, it is not easy to find a suspect for a successful match.
Even with technological means, successful matching is not easy, let alone manual identification.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi doesn't know anything about soul capturing methods, but Zi Mian does have this ability, although she is too lazy to capture souls.
It was agreed that it would be a secret method, so it naturally couldn't be the same as others.
Moreover, she is not investigating a case, but guiding her gaze to where it should go.
This is Zhang Chi's old trick, creating a process with the answer, a reasonable process with a correct answer, so no one can question it.
When Zhen Shan proposed using a secret method, Ao Mo naturally agreed.
At this moment, the five people present no longer felt that Zhen Shan was malicious and arrogant. They only felt that Zhen Shan was a really good person, and working overtime without extra pay was a good thing.
Only Western Emperor was a little reluctant, but in front of everyone, she had to hand over the gu worms.
She hoped that things would settle down quickly, but currently there were no clues pointing to her, so she didn't need to act in a hurry.
Zi Mian's puppet took the body of the gu worm, and the power of the soul surged out from her hand, giving the appearance of using a secret method.
Of course, in the eyes of the big shots, she had only activated her Divine Soul power for a moment.
This is not surprising. Secret methods that outsiders can understand are often not very powerful. This means that the principles of the secret method are very simple. Since the principles are simple, anyone can learn them with a little effort. How can it be called a secret method?
Zhang Chi relied on this common sense to create a convincing illusion.
From beginning to end, he didn't have a single secret method, but made people believe without a doubt.
The next thing was simple. Led by the Zhen Shan puppet, the group arrived in Dragon City.
"The owner of the gu worm is nearby. Keep your aura restrained. If they escape, I won't take responsibility. This is also my last intervention. Whether you can find your daughter or not depends on fate.
Human effort can only account for three parts, the remaining seven parts can only be left to heaven."
The Zhen Shan puppet spoke these words upon arriving in Dragon City, and everyone understood.
He has already done a very conscientious job in calculating like this.
If it were Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, they wouldn't have such thoughtful service, and they couldn't ask for much more.
Moreover, this statement is not wrong. How can human power compete with the heavens? If there is a three-point achievement, it is already considered good.
Even Ao Mo wouldn't have any complaints about him, let alone others.
Western Emperor also felt slightly relieved. This gu worm couldn't possibly be hers, and if Zhen Shan made his final move, it definitely wouldn't involve her.
She could finally feel at ease.
Since that's the case, it wouldn't be bad to make friends with Zhen Shan.
The more friends, the more paths. It wouldn't hurt to make friends with someone like Zhen Shan.
But the timing is not right now. Let's finish the important matters first!
The target of Zhen Shan's puppet is very clear. She is going to find Miao Feng.
When she finds Miao Feng, Miao Feng will have no defense.
The gu worm is indeed his, even if Wan Ling Ku doesn't believe it, finding someone else with relevant abilities to verify, the gu worm still belongs to Miao Feng.
Also, Miao Feng ate the tentacle meat, and he is strong and vigorous. This is a fact, there should still be remnants of the food aura in his body.
Zhang Chi can leave no aura because he has the Innate breathing technique, his body is like a furnace, and Ao Yue's aura was long ago devoured.
Moreover, under Zi Mian's observation, Miao Feng is quite thrifty, unwilling to eat a whole plate of food, and still retains many pieces of evidence on his body.
I wonder if Ao Mo will have a brain hemorrhage when she sees that plate of stir-fried squid tentacles.
In fact, Zhang Chi still has some reluctance in his heart. Although he is ruthless, he doesn't really like to manipulate other people's emotions, whether it's the affection between parents and children or the love between lovers, he doesn't want to exploit them.
But many times, he has no choice.
A person cannot be too naive, they can't let themselves suffer for the sake of morality, right?
Miao Feng is still in the Spring Garden at this moment, a place of pleasure in Dragon City.
Since experiencing the pleasure of being strong and vigorous, he is a bit reluctant to leave.
And he discovered that after eating that thing, if he has intimate relations with a woman, his physique will also improve significantly. Who can resist such benefits?
Being able to enjoy and strengthen one's body, can that be called being petty?
That's called cultivation!
When Zi Mian and his men found Miao Feng, Miao Feng was in the midst of a battle, and it happened to be the final moment. At the moment of the volcanic eruption, Ao Mo also sensed that familiar aura.
"Yue'er, my Yue'er..."
