Chapter 872: Chapter 864: Entrapment by All Sides (Part 3)

“But before that, if any of you start a war over this matter, don’t blame the Sword God Temple for being ruthless.

Immediately, everyone responded in agreement.

The Sword Ancestor was also deeply saddened. He knew that the thirty-six sects of the Sword Dao were already in chaos, but he was aware that the Demon Clan had undoubtedly plunged into turmoil as well.

Because not a single genius from the Demon Clan returned alive.

If they weren’t in chaos, it would be impossible.

But as for now, there was no other way; they had to first investigate this matter thoroughly. As of now, whether Ye Fan really defected or not, it’s truly difficult to say.

Under the Sword God Temple’s accusations, the thirty-six sects of the Sword Dao began to retreat.

Within the Sword God Temple, four great experts were gathered together because, for them, the situation was indeed chaotic beyond belief.

At this moment, the Sword Saint spoke: “The King of Heaven’s character, talent, and potential have all been tested by us. Could it be that we old folks misjudged this time? Impossible!”

Then the Sword Immortal said: “The truth is probably far from simple. Firstly, why did the King of Heaven kill Lu Nianzong? Also, since he already succeeded in his plot, why eliminate all the Demon Geniuses?

“This is the most intriguing part!”

Then the Sword Emperor spoke: “In my opinion, he was most likely framed. Otherwise, if he had the strength to kill the Demon Kings even when they joined forces,

“why not do it quietly instead of causing such a huge conflict, making both the Sword Dao and Demon Path unable to accept him!”

“Exactly, if he had split the spoils unequally and then killed several Demon Kings, I wouldn’t have believed it!”

The Sword Saint also spoke.

After a moment of silence, the Sword Ancestor then said: “I think none of you have hit the mark; I have a more accurate analysis!”

Everyone looked at the Sword Ancestor.

The Sword Ancestor said: “If it was truly because of unequal division of spoils, and he killed so many Demon Kings, then he should have killed the only remaining Sword Dao Genius as well”!

“If this were the case, the truth would never surface, and he wouldn’t bear such infamy, but he didn’t kill these twenty people!

“According to the survivors, he only killed two Sword Dao geniuses, one was Lu Nianzong, and the other was also from the Heavenly Void Sword Sect!”

“The others are all well and alive!

“So, this is the most crucial point for breaking the impasse.”

Hearing this, the three immediately snapped back. Yes, this indeed is the breaking point. If he intended to eliminate all Sword Dao Geniuses,

why not kill them all?

After this point was analyzed, all four Sword Dao experts started to come around; from now on, it seemed Ye Fan was most likely framed.

The reason he didn’t kill the Sword Dao Geniuses wasn’t because he had a conscience, but because he wouldn’t kill innocent people; even if it meant bearing a crime himself, he wouldn’t kill indiscriminately.

He killed the Demon Geniuses and those Demon Kings just to prove he hadn’t defected.

But why did he consort with the Red Demon King, which left the four great Sword Dao experts puzzled, ruining the conclusion they had finally pieced together.

What else could they say? They could only admit that the situation was becoming even more complicated.

“Forget it, it’s exhausting to think so much. If he hasn’t joined the Demon Path, it proves he’s innocent. If he joined, it proves he’s indeed a traitor!”

“As long as he returns one day, I will always regard him as my disciple!”

The Sword Immortal said angrily.

Then he took a sip of wine, and the big Sword Dao experts knew that the Sword Immortal was beginning to drink heavily again, but his analysis and speculation were correct.

If Ye Fan really joined the Demon Path, the news wouldn’t be long before it surfaces. If Ye Fan didn’t join, there’s no doubt he was definitely framed.

But then the Sword Ancestor said: “I know his character; he won’t return!

“Why?”

The three asked in puzzlement.

“Because if he returns now, he’ll make it difficult for us and the Infinite Sword Sect, even if he could explain everything!”

“He never likes to make things difficult for others; that’s what I admire about him. But I know that one day, he’ll return!”

With the Sword Ancestor’s words, the three were left completely dejected. After all, Ye Fan was the disciple they had painstakingly supported, and now it’s come to this.

Such a situation was indeed not what they wanted.

At this moment, the Sword Emperor angrily said: “It’s really disheartening to have finally received such a potential disciple, only for this to happen!”

“Speaking of which, it’s partly our fault; if we had stopped the rumors from the beginning, such a conflict wouldn’t have happened!”

They knew of Ye Fan’s potential; the ability to casually kill three Demon Kings combined—such talent, once developed, would surely signal the decline of the Demon Clan.

Then the Sword Saint said: “There’s no use complaining now; we should reprimand these Sword Sects, otherwise, they’ll truly cause chaos in the Sword Dao.”

“Exactly, especially the Heavenly Void Sword Sect. I believe the King of Heaven killed Lu Nianzong not only because of conflict; the Heavenly Void Sword Sect is too arrogant.

The Sword Emperor said. “We should discuss this among ourselves, reprimand them while sending people to find the King of Heaven. Once a disciple, always a disciple!”

“Alright!”

The four reached a consensus.

Immediately, they began to establish new rules while sending Sword Masters to gather information about Ye Fan, determined to uncover the truth behind this matter.
