After learning what happened to Zhu Xiaoxiao and the others, Zhu Detong immediately gathered all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhu Clan to discuss countermeasures.
â Iâve said before that the murderer might not be a member of the Zhu Clan, but someone from another cultivation sect. Itâs very likely that heâs an enemy of our Hundred Poisons Sect and is here to sow discord. It seems like itâs true. â
Zhu Detong concluded with a worried expression.
However, after hearing his words, many Foundation Establishment cultivators had different opinions.
âGreat Elder, if the enemy really came from another cultivation sect, why didnât they attack our Zhu Clanâs Foundation Establishment cultivators as well? Why did they spare the lives of our Zhu Clanâs Foundation Establishment cultivators?â
â Youâre right. Since the murderer was ruthless to the Zhen Clanâs cultivators, if he came from another cultivation force, he wouldnât have let our Zhu Clanâs cultivators off. â
âOne killed and the other didnât. Itâs just that theyâre very similar in other aspects. This makes people suspicious.â
Zhu Detong sneered. â Isnât that easy to explain? Our Zhu Clan is obviously at a disadvantage now. If the murderer kills all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of our Zhu Clan, how can we resist the Zhen Clanâs attack? â
â What the murderer wants is for our Zhu Clan and Zhen Clan to fight until both sides are injured. It would be best if both sides perish together. That way, they would be able to take down the entire Hundred Poisons Sect effortlessly. They would not allow one clan to dominate and return to its original state. â
Many Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhu Clan looked at each other. They felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but there seemed to be no better explanation.
If the murderer was indeed a disciple of the Zhu Clan, why would he be so ruthless to his own family?
If not, how could these Foundation Establishment cultivators have survived?
How strange!
No matter what, it seemed to make sense.
â Kill! We must destroy Red Cloud Peak today! â
âZhu De Tong, you old bastard, come out and accept your death. Return the lives of our Zhen familyâs dead brothers and sisters.â
â Are all the idiots of the Zhu Clan hiding and not daring to come out? Theyâre letting a bunch of lianqi kids stand outside and die. â
Before the discussion could come to a conclusion, the Zhen Clanâs Foundation Establishment Realm experts began to curse and fight outside. Zhu De led the Zhu Clanâs Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators out of the room.
His gaze inadvertently fell on many of the clan cultivators wearing hats, bamboo hats, and other items.âTake off your hats and bamboo hats!â
These people were stunned. â No, itâs too embarrassing to take it off. We really canât take it off! â
âCompared to your own lives, losing a little face is nothing.â â Whatâs more, you have so many brothers and sisters with you. â Zhu Detong said angrily. â Youâll lose face for the Hundred Poisons Sectâs Zhu Clan, not for any of you. â
These people thought that there was nothing wrong with what he said. If it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Zhu Clan who had his face drawn or his hair tied into braids, the ones who would lose face would naturally be themselves.
But now, dozens of the Zhu Clanâs Foundation Establishment cultivators had been fooled, almost half of the Zhu Clanâs Foundation Establishment cultivators. As a result, no one would remember their individual Foundation Establishment cultivators. If they wanted to make a fool of themselves, they would make a fool of the entire Zhu Clan.
With this thought in mind, these Foundation Establishment cultivators all took off their hats and bamboo hats to avoid affecting the upcoming battle. After all, the lack of commonly used magic tools had already greatly reduced their combat strength. If they had hats and bamboo hats to block their vision, the upcoming battle would be even more difficult.
However, when this group of people arrived at the foot of the Red Cloud Peak, the entire battlefield fell silent.
This was the first time that the Qi Condensation cultivators of the Zhu Clan had seen their Foundation Establishment higher-ups in such a state. They were momentarily flabbergasted.
âWhatâs wrong with all the inner sect deacons? All of them have ghost faces, braids, and shaved headsâ¦Do you want to try a new style?â
âAlthough the new style is quite interesting, to be honest, itâs really ugly. I donât know why all the Foundation Establishment big shots have such strange thoughts.â
âHahaâ¦â
The cultivators of the Zhen Clan were furious and shouted at the cultivators of the Zhu Clan.
âZhu Detong, Zhu Qingfengâ¦Itâs one thing for you to kill our Zhen Clanâs cultivators in such an unpresentable manner, but now youâre even disguising yourselves to humiliate us. Youâre reminding us to remember the hatred of our dead brothers and sisters and mocking our incompetence, right?â
âThose damned Zhu Clan dogs. The ghost face technique and the braid technique on their facesâ¦Itâs exactly the same as the Foundation Establishment cultivator that died in our Zhen Clan. This matter is definitely the work of the Zhu Clan.â
âSeeing that you canât hide it anymore, you might as well expose it, right? Zhu Detong, Zhu Qingfengâ¦Today, we wonât rest until one of us dies!â
However, the Zhen Clan mistakenly thought that Zhu Xiaoxiao and the others had deliberately disguised themselves to humiliate the Zhen Clanâs disciples. Hearing the Zhen Clanâs words, Zhu Xiaoxiao and the others were furious.
âIdiots of the Zhen family, are you all out of your mind? Weâre so bored that weâd end up like this. This isnât our doing at all, but the enemies of other sects did this to us.â
âThe killing of the Zhen Clanâs Foundation Establishment cultivator was definitely not done by our Zhu Clan. Otherwise, the other party wouldnât have attacked our Zhu Clanâs cultivators. Your Zhen Clan is just making trouble.â
â Itâs obvious that the enemy is trying to sow discord. I wonder where your Zhen Clanâs brains are, to think that itâs our Zhu Clanâs doing. â
â The murderer also drew a ghost face on us and stole our storage rings and treasures. Weâre not much better off than your Zhen family. If you still had some brains, you wouldnât have continued fighting and would have joined forces with us to find the murderer. â
Hearing the Zhu Clanâs Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the Zhen Clanâs cultivators were all stunned. They were somewhat skeptical, but they were quickly suppressed by the Zhen Clanâs Grand Elder, Zhen Qiufeng.âIf you were also bullied by the murderer, why didnât you die? Instead, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of our Zhen Clan died.â
âI think this is just a farce that your Zhu Clan directed and acted out. You want to use this opportunity to get rid of the suspicion, but you donât want to kill your own Foundation Establishment cultivators to increase your capital. Not only did your actions not clear the suspicion, but it also confirmed that this was done by your Zhu Clan. What are you waiting for? Attack the Red Cloud Peak!â
