Chapter 155 – The Fiend Loses His Composure, Going on a Killing Spree!

“You are not the Sword God at all!”

High above the canyon, Li Zixuan raised her sword, black hair flowing in the wind as sunlight poured down upon her, making her appear divine.

Simultaneously, she kept retreating, securing an escape route while remaining ready to withdraw at any moment.

Having come here, she had already prepared a complete exit strategy.

As her words fell.

The “Sword God’s” expression drastically changed!

Had this little girl seen through him?

Impossible!

How could I have revealed any flaws?!

The Black-Robed Man narrowed his slender eyes, suppressing the shock in his heart, and sharply retorted:

“Little girl, do you realize what you’re saying? Cease your nonsense here and stop disturbing everyone’s minds!”

No sooner had he spoken than others in Sword God Valley erupted into uproar upon hearing this.

“What does this mean? Is this Sword God fake?”

“Such words shouldn’t be spoken carelessly! Don’t anger the Sword God!”

“Exactly, if Sword God becomes displeased, we’ll be in trouble…”

“That young lady seems to be from Jianghai!”

For a moment.

The crowd below buzzed with discussion, having exploded into chaos, creating a tangled cacophony throughout Sword God Valley.

Regarding the sudden appearance of Li Zixuan, everyone maintained a skeptical attitude. A minority tried to speak up and calm the crowd, but their words were drowned out by the arguments before they could even be voiced.

Amid the commotion.

“Everyone, don’t be deceived!”

An aged voice resounded through the valley!

The sound waves rolled forth with majestic momentum, overwhelming the noisy uproar.

Elder Li, dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, slowly emerged from the crowd and declared clearly:

“This person is not Sword God Senior! I guarantee this with my personal integrity!”

As his words fell.

Those around him quickly stepped aside, creating a large empty space. Lin Mofeng stood by his side, dispelling the array formation that had concealed their identities.

Hum!

The array inscriptions glowed and dispersed.

Their original appearances were revealed.

When the surrounding citizens focused their gaze and clearly saw Elder Li and Lin Mofeng’s faces, they erupted again, bursting into even more tumultuous arguments!

“It’s Elder Li! Elder Li actually came too!”

“When did this happen? Why didn’t I see him earlier!?”

“His Grandmaster disciple is here too!”

“…”

People looked at each other, both surprised and delighted, gazing at one another while sinking into deep confusion.

“Everyone, please remain calm and composed,”

Elder Li spoke again, his voice once more overriding the arguments throughout the valley.

Though he didn’t know what basis Li Zixuan had for her claim, given her relationship with the Sword God, there must be reasonable grounds!

And as her teacher.

In this critical moment, he must support her choice no matter what!

Elder Li looked up at the black-robed figure in the sky and continued speaking loudly: “I guarantee with my personal integrity that this Jianghai Sword God’s identity is suspicious. Everyone, please be careful to distinguish the truth!”

As he spoke, he looked up toward Li Zixuan in the sky, his eyes revealing worried concern.

His words fell.

The nearby spectators erupted in astonishment!

“Even Elder Li says so…”

“Could it be that this Sword God really has problems?”

“Now that you mention it, upon careful thought, this Sword God’s presence… does feel different from before!?”

“Yes, it’s all too sudden…”

Humans are inherently creatures of blind conformity, easily influenced by others and prone to follow the crowd, which creates situations where rumors spread rapidly.

But ultimately, rumors stop with the wise.Moreover, Elder Li was already highly respected and had students everywhere, enjoying great prestige in Jianghai City.

As soon as he spoke,

many citizens began to hesitate, falling into uncertainty. The blindly foolish crowd quieted down, and the fervent atmosphere that had just surged was instantly extinguished by more than half.

“Nonsense!”

High above, the Black-Robed Man scanned the crowd below, observing their changing expressions, and immediately grew irritated.

It must be known,

these people were a crucial part of his manipulation of public opinion.

The situation he had painstakingly cultivated could not be allowed to be ruined like this!

“I must find a way to steer them back!”

With this thought,

the Black-Robed Man channeled a secret technique and raised his voice again, manipulating the emotions of others in the valley.

“How could I possibly be an imposter?!”

“Do not spout nonsense! I, the Sword God, have finally emerged from seclusion to bring peace to Jianghai City, and now you dare question me?!”

“If a crisis descends in the future, every single one of you will bear the blame as sinners of history!”

As his words fell, the hidden secret technique

instantly ignited the emotions on the scene.

Boom!

The citizens erupted like a tidal wave.

The previously quiet crowd boiled over once again!

The weight of this moral burden was simply too heavy.

Regardless of the truth, everyone had come to welcome the Sword God and enjoy the spectacle—no one wanted to shoulder such a terrible accusation.

The stability Elder Li had just restored was thrown into chaos in an instant.

The scene descended into uproar, with confusion written on every face.

Just then!

A second voice rang out to calm the crowd!

“I can also vouch for my shimei!”

Lin Mofeng stepped forward from the crowd, pressing his tongue against the roof of his mouth as he directly countered with a secret technique:

“This Jianghai Sword God’s identity is questionable. Everyone, be careful to discern the truth and do not be deceived by him.”

As he spoke,

Lin Mofeng’s voice rose and fell rhythmically, like a spring breeze gently brushing against their faces.

Hum!

The two Grandmaster-level secret techniques clashed, neutralizing each other and dissipating into nothingness in an instant.

The next moment,

the brows of all the citizens relaxed.

Their anxious and restless hearts gradually calmed.

Seeing the crowd stabilize,

Lin Mofeng let out a sigh of relief, his gaze fixed intently on the Black-Robed Man above, watching his every move. His right hand rested on his sword hilt, ready to engage at any moment.

“Everyone, please think carefully—when has the Jianghai Sword God ever demanded material wealth from you?”

Li Zixuan spoke up at this moment, staring directly at the Black-Robed Man as she calmly stated, “Every time he took action, he never sought anything in return.”

“But now, this person not only wants to consume your offerings but also demands your faith in return… What will he ask of you next?”

“Build a shrine? Establish a temple?”

With each word Li Zixuan uttered, she reawakened the memories of the Jianghai Sword God among the citizens below.

Scenes from the past resurfaced.

“This person is nothing but a fraudulent imposter, all show and no substance.”

As her final word fell, the citizens united in shared indignation, their gazes toward the Black-Robed Man now filled with utter disgust and contempt.

The Black-Robed Man’s face darkened menacingly, as thick clouds gathered heavily in the sky, pressing down like an impending storm.

“How dare you question me?!”

Boom!

Thunder roared in fury, echoing throughout the entire Sword Valley!

………….

Library, first-floor men’s restroom.

Splash~

The faucet gurgled softly.

Qin Yang washed his hands, dried them under the hand dryer, and slowly walked out the door.

He hadn’t gone far.Li Qinghe, who had been waiting by the restroom entrance, came running over with her phone.

“Master, you’re finally out!”

She said anxiously, hurriedly handing over the phone while fumbling to open the live stream. “Something terrible has happened! They’re fighting at Sword God Valley!”

As she spoke, she panicked, “Zixuan-mei is in danger!”
