Chapter 1111 - 1066: A Clear Conscience
The characteristic force field of [Oneness with All Creation] had already covered the surroundings, and Jiang could sense that Zhou and the others were not lying.
So now it was his turn to have some difficulty accepting the situation.
He, of course, knew about the turmoil at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters five years ago. However, the incident was quickly quelled, and the results were merely a change of the Dharma Transmitters in charge of administration. There were no casualties.
His main duty was to maintain the security and stability of the Xuanhuang World, so he did not intervene.
From his perspective, as long as the operations of the Immortal Alliance were not affected, it didn’t matter who was in charge.
After all, those guys in the Dharma Transmitter Council were not much different from each other.
However, if remnants of the Mystic Sky Sect had infiltrated the Dharma Transmitter Council and were secretly plotting something that might endanger the Xuanhuang World,
then the nature of the situation would be completely different.
Heavenly Sovereign had entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of overseeing the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Now, such a significant oversight had occurred, it was definitely his dereliction of duty!
"I will thoroughly investigate this matter," he assured Zhou, Huang, and Wei with a serious expression.
"There’s no time to delay, please come with me back to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters."
As he spoke, Jiang looked towards the Fairy Puppet Li Fan, "This fellow Daoist should also come along. If it weren’t for your reminder, I might still be kept in the dark."
Being just a puppet body, Li Fan naturally had nothing to fear and immediately agreed.
Dharma Transmitter Jiang gently waved his hand, creating a space tunnel out of thin air that led to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, and he was the first to enter.
Feeling the long-missed but familiar aura on the other side of the tunnel, Dharma Transmitter Zhou and the others all had complex expressions.
After taking a deep breath, they entered one after another.
Just as Fairy Puppet Li Fan arrived at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, he heard three distant bell tolls coming from the horizon.
"The Grand Bell of the Dharma Transmitter. The bell tolls three times, spreading across Xuanhuang. No matter where one is located, no matter whether they wish it or not, upon hearing this bell, all Dharma Transmitters must return to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters within a day."
"It’s been a long time since I’ve heard it," said Dharma Transmitter Wei somewhat emotionally.
Zhou and Huang also looked equally nostalgic.
The Immortal Alliance Headquarters went into a state of emergency lockdown, allowing entry but no exit.
In the deepest part of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, a circular assembly field appeared out of nothingness.
One by one, the Dharma Transmitters arrived at the venue, their expressions solemn.
Although they did not know the reason for Jiang’s summoning, since the great bell had rung, it must be a significant matter.
As the number of attendees increased, faint discussions gradually started to emerge in the venue.
"Huh? Even Hua has come? Since she immersed herself in her own created paradise, Small World, I haven’t seen her in probably over a thousand years?"
"Forget about Hua. Even those few who were banished, like Zhou and the others, have returned."
"When was the last time we had such a lively gathering?"
...
Once all the surviving Dharma Transmitters of the Xuanhuang World had assembled, the conference officially began.
There were a total of twenty-eight, including Dharma Transmitter Jiang.
Additionally, with the inclusion of Fairy Puppet Li Fan, there were a total of twenty-nine participants in the conference.
Li Fan secretly glanced at Dharma Transmitter Feng, also known as Morubin.
Interestingly, he showed no fear.
Even on seeing Li Fan appear, he did not show any panic or surprise, but instead nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"Interesting," Li Fan thought with a cold chuckle, responding with a nod as well.
Dharma Transmitter Jiang was concise and to the point, explaining to everyone the possibility that a Mystical Sky Sect Law King might have infiltrated.
This immediately caused a stir among the Dharma Transmitters.
"Mystic Sky Sect? Weren’t they annihilated long ago when we started our uprising? Have they been lingering all these years?"
"This... to be able to soul snatch without triggering Heavenly Sovereign’s forbidden formation, isn’t that a bit too alarmist?"
"Fascinating, truly fascinating. An ideal toy indeed, heh heh heh..."
The reactions of the crowd varied.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Dharma Transmitter Zhou then took out the mini puppet that Li Fan had given him, which was continuously operating the Mystic Sky Sect Technique.
Humming sounds...
As soon as the mini puppet appeared, it reacted immediately.
It seemed like a living creature, its eyes suddenly wide open, staring straight at the four people in the assembly, including Dharma Transmitter Feng.
"Previously, only three Dharma Transmitters sensed something. Has another one been soul-snatched in such a short time?" Zhou was both shocked and furious in his heart.
"Everyone, this is the evidence!" Zhou then loudly said, briefly explaining the operating principle of the mini puppet.
Gazes locked on Feng and the other three.
Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s expression was grim, "You..."
Before he could finish his questioning, Feng interrupted him, "I disagree with Zhou’s statement."
"Techniques, they don’t prove anything."
"The Mystic Sky Sect Technique is a heritage of the Immortal World. I was fortunate to obtain a few scrolls and, charmed by them, began to cultivate from then on. What is wrong with that?"
"After cultivating, I discovered that it was indeed extraordinary. Therefore, I shared the remaining techniques with my brothers."
"Is there also a mistake in that?"
Feng declared resoundingly.
He looked around, his gaze piercing, showing no embarrassment from having his conspiracy exposed, "Brothers, ask yourselves, if the Immortal Family Cultivation Method was before you, would you resist the urge to cultivate?"
"I suspect very few could manage that."
With these words, the hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.
The numerous Dharma Transmitters, after pondering for a moment, indeed felt there was merit in Dharma Transmitter Feng’s words.
Yes, what is wrong with the technique, after all?
Merely based on the cultivation method, how could one be convicted?
In that case, among those present Dharma Transmitters, probably few were completely innocent.
Even Dharma Transmitter Jiang found himself lost in thought.
"As for the accusations of being soul-snatched by Mystic Sky Sect demons and intending harm towards the Immortal Alliance..."
After a brief quiet, Dharma Transmitter Feng once again spoke fervently, "I am willing to voluntarily undergo the examination of [Dharma Transmitter’s Oath] to demonstrate that I have not forgotten my original intention."
He declared decisively.
"I am willing as well."
"My heart remains unchanged."
The other three Dharma Transmitters detected with the aura of the Mystic Sky Sect also successively spoke out bravely.
Li Fan and Dharma Transmitter Zhou exchanged glances, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Yet now the arrow was on the bow, they had to shoot.
Under Jiang’s leadership, the examination of the Dharma Transmitter’s Oath officially began.
In the circular conference hall, all the Dharma Transmitters were with eyes slightly closed, muttering words.
Above the Void, it seemed as if the figures of numerous sacrificed, fallen Dharma Transmitters appeared.
Densely packed, almost occupying the entire space of the hall.
Dharma Transmitter Feng, standing resolute in the center of the circular hall, under the countless gazes, remained immovable.
"I, Dharma Transmitter Feng."
"My original intention to save Xuan Huang from devastation and disaster has never changed."
"It is so now, and will be in the future."
He first summarized, then continued to speak earnestly, equally expressing his feelings.
What do you think?
