Prehistoric: Beginning with Foolish Old Man Moving the Mountains
Chapter 1099: War of Faith
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall. Feng Yue's face instantly turned pale. He widened his eyes in disbelief, and his body swayed as if he would fall down at any time.
The disciples of Wendao Sect were also stunned. They stepped forward and wanted to defend Feng Yue, but were stopped by the city lord's stern look.
"Lord City Lord, there are still many doubts in this matter. How can we conclude that Feng Yue is the murderer based on one side's statement?"
An elder from the Wen Dao Sect stood up, his tone filled with anxiety and reluctance.
The city lord snorted coldly, and scanned the entire place with a sharp gaze:
"This mayor is handling the case with discretion. Feng Yue's behavior, plus the various clues left at the scene, all point to him as the murderer. As for the doubts you mentioned, they are just excuses for you not wanting to accept the truth."
Everyone in Wendao Sect was shocked and puzzled by this result.
How could there be conclusive evidence without any evidence? Their fellow disciples, out of kindness, collected the body for Wang Wu, but were actually considered the murderer. This really chilled them.
"City Lord, although the Sword Sect is a small sect, we are also part of the power under the jurisdiction of the Danqing Heavenly Palace. You judged the case in such a way and took human life lightly. I will definitely report to the Heavenly Palace and report you!"
The elder of the Wen Dao Sect was enraged. He stepped forward and spoke fiercely.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words of the elder of the Sword-Asking Sect, the City Lord's face darkened: "Are you reporting this to me? It seems that this was not done by Feng Yue alone. The Sword-Asking Sect collectively killed Wang Wu, probably because Wang Wu discovered the Sword-Asking Sect's secret that cannot be seen by others. This City Lord knows that the Sword-Asking Sect secretly defected to the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon, and wanted to cooperate with the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon to overthrow the rule of the Heavenly Palace."
This city lord is a puppet of Nüba. It is not uncommon for human beings to have "groundless" things.
Now, she could imitate those corrupt officials and cruel officials with ease and without any difficulty.
After hearing what the city lord said, all the disciples of Wendao Sect became angry.
They have already seen that the city lord is lying with open eyes and he doesn't care about the truth at all.
"All disciples of the Sword-Asking Sect, do not care about the orders of this dog city lord. Follow me and fight your way out of the city lord's mansion, and find the sect to take charge for us."
The elder of the Wen Dao Sect took the lead in attacking, and a blade of light tore through the void, dominating the world and killing many city lords' guards on the spot.
During this process, the city lord pretended that there was a problem with his practice. He was unable to resist the attack from the elder of the Sword Sect and was repelled by the sword energy.
Whoosh whoosh!
In full view of everyone, the elder of the Wen Dao Sect and his disciples rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as they go out, they spread what happened in the City Lord's Mansion throughout the city.
The monks in the city were stunned when they learned about the city lord's way of solving cases. When they saw the corpse of a fellow monk, they would collect it at will. This was seeing injustice and helping others. But according to the city lord, only murderers would collect corpses.
They couldn't understand what kind of logic this was, which went against the most basic principles. The city lord's words denied the existence of kindness, as if everything in the world had to be measured by interests.
Ever since the "Feng Yue" incident, the originally peaceful and harmonious Yuanxu world has gradually gone downhill, with all kinds of bizarre events popping up one after another.
The reason why this turmoil has intensified is that some monks are profit-driven and regard the "Feng Yue" incident as a rare "opportunity". They have followed suit and used all kinds of insidious means to fully demonstrate the bad behavior of "repaying kindness with enmity".
At first, such dirty things mostly happened between competing sects and forces, but as time went on, this unhealthy trend quietly penetrated into fellow brothers and even the same bloodline, and family affection and morality seemed so fragile in the face of interests.
The act of "doing justice" has quietly degenerated in this world and gradually become a derogatory term. Once someone dares to stand up and practice justice, he will be labeled as "stupid" and regarded as an alien.
Many powerful people in the Yuanxu world were busy calculating the major forces in the prehistoric world, so they only gave a superficial and downplayed treatment to the "Feng Yue" incident and imposed insignificant punishment on the city lord involved.
Now, faced with the chain reaction caused by the incident, they are all heartbroken and regret not having imposed severe punishment to serve as a warning to others.
However, when these powerful people finally realized the seriousness of the problem and tried to remedy it, they found it was too late. In the context of "kindness" being marginalized and even regarded as a taboo, the basic trust between people was as fragile as a sand castle and quickly collapsed.
What is even more worrying is that the far-reaching layout of Wuji Daozun and other behind-the-scenes driving forces has just begun.
Just as the powerful people in the Yuanxu world were dealing with the turmoil of the "city lords", a shocking news swept across the entire Yuanxu world like a storm overnight, and no corner was spared.
The content of this news is: Daozu Yuanxu and the Yuanxu saints have made a decision. They plan to plunder all the resources of the Yuanxu world, lead their huge group of forces, and escape into the depths of chaos.
When this news first reached everyone, they were all shocked and couldn't believe it.
For a long time, Taoist Yuanxu and other saints have been thinking about the common people and it seems that they cannot do such a thing as abandoning them and fleeing alone.
However, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Wuji Daozun and others acted quickly, revealing the so-called "conclusive evidence".
Daoist Ancestor Yuanxu and the other saints did intend to evacuate, and the forces under their command were quietly carrying out a large-scale secret evacuation preparation. All of this was discovered by Daoist Lord Qingyuan who had been investigating the whereabouts of the four origins.
With these real evidences, Wuji Daozun and others only need to fabricate some non-existent evidence and distort the facts, and the false will become true.
As these true and false evidence surfaced one by one, all living beings in Yuanxu seemed to be in the middle of a sudden storm, and their hearts were suffering an unprecedented shock.
The once unwavering faith quickly collapsed like a sand castle blown away by a strong wind, leaving behind only a heart full of doubt, anger and despair.
All living beings began to question whether Yuanxu Daozu and the saints, who were once revered as gods, were really as selfless and great as they had shown.
Those legends about saints working for the welfare of mankind now seem so pale and powerless, as if they were just a gorgeous cloak to cover up the truth.
Wuji Daozun and others took the opportunity to fan the flames, using the negative emotions of the people to further fabricate various cases and create various evidences. The lies they carefully woven quickly spread amid the panic and anxiety of the people and became an unshakable "fact".
Faced with such a situation, the powerful beings in Yuanxu World finally realized what a terrible opponent they had encountered.
They quickly convened a meeting to deal with this war without gunpowder.
