246 Go Ahead

“Those resources belong to us, the seven great sects. It’s not your place to meddle in it. You’re really bold!”

“To put it bluntly, you’re just an elder of a small sect. Do you think that you can overstep your position just because you made a great contribution in the secret realm and saved a lot of people?”

These people were talking one after another, and those who didn’t know would think that Ye Xuan had committed an unforgivable crime.

Shen Changling’s face turned red with anger. He was about to argue, but he was stopped by He Jiantian, who hinted that he should not act rashly.

“Don’t worry, Ye Xuan has a way.”

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s expression was extremely calm in the face of these people’s accusations. He didn’t refute it at all.

“How is it? Are you feeling guilty and can’t speak?”

“I was just thinking where were you when Changping was attacked by the beast tide? What were you doing when the city was on the verge of collapse?”

The two questions left everyone speechless and silent.

“You’re quite impressive now.”

The sarcastic words made the aggressive sects, especially those from the Misty Illusory Manor, changed their expressions.

“Don’t tell me that all the credit goes to you alone! It’s not like we didn’t send people.”

The people of the Misty Illusory Manor had to hold it in for a long time before they could say such a thing without any confidence.

Shen Changling finally couldn’t help but say, “All the credit is indeed Elder Ye’s. Didn’t your disciples tell you that the matter had already been resolved by the time they arrived?”

Although those disciples had said it, their wording was more tactful. After all, they had rushed to Changping after many difficulties and dangers but were told that the matter had been resolved. It felt like they were just doing nothing.

The people from the Dao Seeking Sect were still unconvinced, “Maybe he colluded with the demonic beasts, which is why he was able to deal with it. Otherwise, how could he deal with it alone?”

Shen Changling rolled his eyes, “You can’t do it, but that doesn’t mean Elder Ye can’t. Have you forgotten what happened in the secret realm? How many disciples were saved by Elder Ye Xuan?”

Everyone was speechless again.

He Jiantian and Mo Jianming took the initiative to express their stands, “We don’t believe that Elder Ye would do such a thing.”

The expressions on the faces of the other members of the Sword Sect also explained everything.

Although there were many sects present, there were only a few who had opinions of Ye Xuan, and others were just fence-sitters.

After all, some sects owed Ye Xuan a favor and still remembered what happened in the secret realm.

“That’s also reasonable. We don’t believe that Elder Ye colluded with demonic beasts either. Elder Ye isn’t that kind of person.”

“If Ye Xuan was disloyal to us, he would have already taken action back in the secret realm. I heard that it was all thanks to Elder Ye that Changping was able to survive the beast tide this time.”

“I heard about it too. The scale of the beast tide is quite large. There are more than 10,000 demonic beasts. Changping can’t deal with them alone.”

“Moreover, since those demonic beasts hate the humans so much, they wouldn’t easily collude with humans.”

The crowd chimed in one after another, and the direction of public opinion was in Ye Xuan’s favor.

The people from the Misty Illusory Manor and the Dao Seeking Sect looked at each other. Their expressions were somewhat ugly.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. Maybe he hid it too well in the past, so we didn’t find out. Or maybe we didn’t offer him any attractive conditions.”

He Jiantian couldn’t bear to see these people slandering him. “Don’t tell me that you’re trying to frame Elder Ye because you’re holding a grudge against him for what happened in the past. Show me the evidence if you can.”

“What evidence do you need? Isn’t that treaty the best evidence?”

At this moment, the meeting hall could be said to be even busier than a market. A portion of them supported Ye Xuan with the Sword Sect in the lead, while the other portion was led by the Dao Seeking Sect and the Misty Illusory Manor. They firmly believed that Ye Xuan was colluding with the demonic beasts and had ulterior motives.

It was said that his purpose was to harm the interests of the human race. Those who didn’t know would think that Ye Xuan was unpardonable.

The two sides went back and forth, but Ye Xuan, who was the center of public opinion, was extremely calm. He just watched them quarrel quietly.

“Since you say that the treaty is unreasonable, then you can tear it up and send people to negotiate with those demonic beasts again.”

As soon as the remarks were made, the entire place fell silent.

Ye Xuan then added, “By the way, I’d like to remind you that the strength of that flood dragon is unfathomable. There are also a few demons in the peak of the sun rank with it. I’m afraid a dozen grand elders won’t be able to deal with them.”

They had already received information about these demonic beasts. However, they had never seen Qian Yuan’s true strength. Thus, it was inevitable that some people would look down on it.

“Don’t try to scare us. So what if it’s a flood dragon? It’s not a real dragon. We’re not afraid of your goading.”

“Then go ahead, no one is stopping you. Instead of condemning me here, it’s better for you to re-establish the treaty with the demonic beasts. In any case, you can do whatever you want. I have no objections.”

They probably didn’t expect Ye Xuan to have such an attitude.

They thought that Ye Xuan would explain himself. Who would have thought that he would directly throw the blame on them? It was completely different from what they had imagined. He didn’t respond to their words at all, which made them unable to slander him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What? Weren’t you all talking so energetically just now? Why are you all so silent now? Do you all not dare to do it?”

Ye Xuan’s sharp words made those people feel guilty for a moment.
