Chapter 392 Ambiguity Helps Break the Dilemma
Chapter 392 Ambiguity Helps Break the Dilemma
My heart was pounding so hard, like a drumbeat, it almost shattered my eardrums.
The contents of the jade slip were like a sharp thorn, piercing my heart and causing waves of pain to spread.
I tried my best to remain calm and not let my emotions show, but my fingers holding the jade slip trembled uncontrollably.
Damn Mo Yun!
I could almost feel his cold gaze, coiling around me like a venomous snake, trying to devour me.
The faint, cold smile playing on his lips only fueled my anger.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.
Now is not the time to break off relations. I need more evidence to shut him up completely!
"Mo Yun, do you have anything else to say?" I tried to speak calmly, but my voice trembled slightly.
He smiled dismissively, his tone full of sarcasm: "Fairy Xiao Yao, are you trying to change the subject? Whether your so-called reforms are for the Immortal Realm or for your own sect, only you know the answer."
His words were like a bomb, causing an uproar in the conference room.
The once quiet scene became noisy again.
Some members who had initially been persuaded by me began to waver again under Mo Yun's influence, questioning my motives.
"Yes, Fairy Xiao Yao, how do we know if what you're saying is true?"
"Elder Mo Yun is right. Your sect's recent actions are indeed somewhat suspicious."
"Do you really want to control the entire Immortal Realm?"
The doubts came one after another, surging like a tide, almost drowning me.
I felt like I was having trouble breathing, and it felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, making it hard for me to breathe.
I tried my best to control my emotions, telling myself over and over again to calm down, to calm down!
However, those doubts, like sharp needles, pierced my nerves, almost driving me to the brink of collapse.
I looked at True Lord Ziyang, hoping he would say something fair, but he just sat there silently, his face expressionless.
His silence was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing my last glimmer of hope.
I know that he still has reservations about me and about the changes to the Immortal Sect.
Fairy Feiyu looked at me with concern, wanting to speak up for me, but her voice sounded so powerless amidst the strong opposition.
I smiled gratefully at her, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and then slowly began to speak: "Everyone, I know you all have doubts about the changes in the Immortal Sect, which is normal. However, I hope you can believe that everything we are doing is for the future of the Immortal Realm. Elder Mo Yun just said that our Immortal Sect wants to control the entire Immortal Realm, which is utter nonsense!"
My voice wasn't loud, but it was full of power and stood out clearly in the noisy conference room.
I looked around, meeting everyone's gaze firmly, trying to make them feel my sincerity.
"Elder Mo Yun, you have been questioning our motives. So I would like to ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that we want to control the Immortal Realm? Is your so-called evidence as flimsy as your previous lies?" My tone became sharp, directly hitting Mo Yun's sore spot.
His expression changed slightly, and he sneered, saying, "Fairy Xiao Yao, you are just making excuses! Your so-called reforms are nothing but for your own selfish interests, and have nothing to do with the Immortal Realm!"
"Personal gain? Mo Yun, do you dare look me in the eye and say that again?" I walked towards him step by step, my tone icy and my gaze like a knife.
He instinctively took a step back, his eyes darting around, avoiding my gaze.
I sneered inwardly.
Just as I was about to continue my pursuit, suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open again...
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat!
Just when I felt I was about to be cornered by that old fox Mo Yun, that familiar scent, carrying a faint fragrance of ambergris, instantly enveloped me.
It's Wen Chen!
At that moment, I felt as if time had stood still.
All the noise disappeared, and all that remained in my eyes was his incomparably handsome face.
He walked against the light, like a god descending from the heavens, carrying endless gentleness and power.
He walked up to me, and without saying anything more, he simply took my hand gently.
His palms were large and warm, dry and strong, like a flame, instantly dispelling the coldness and fear in my heart.
I could feel the warmth of his palm, which traveled through my skin and into my heart, warming my soul.
In that instant, all the tension, anxiety, and unease melted away like ice and snow.
His eyes were gentle yet firm, as if telling me, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
My heart started beating faster, thump-thump-thump, like a deer's heart pounding wildly.
My cheeks started to burn, and a surge of heat welled up in my heart.
I looked up at him, and he was looking at me too.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world consisted of just the two of us.
An indescribable, ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, sweet and wonderful.
"Don't panic, fairy. I believe in you." Wen Chen's voice was deep and magnetic, like a beautiful melody, gently plucking at my heartstrings.
His words were worth a thousand. His trust gave me boundless strength and courage.
Mo Yun's face instantly turned ashen.
He glared fiercely at Wen Chen. He probably hadn't expected Wen Chen to appear at such a crucial moment, and to support him so openly.
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open again.
The person who came in this time was Lingxin.
She looked hurried, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and clutched a scroll tightly in her hands.
"Fairy Xiao Yao, I...I've found the evidence!" Ling Xin said breathlessly. Although her voice was not loud, it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
All eyes were on Lingxin.
Ling Xin took a deep breath to calm her agitated emotions, and then said, "I've discovered that Elder Mo Yun has been secretly spreading rumors, sowing discord, and deliberately creating conflicts within the alliance. He's the one who orchestrated all of this!"
As she spoke, Lingxin handed the scroll in her hand to True Lord Ziyang.
Ziyang Zhenjun took the scroll and examined it carefully.
His expression grew increasingly serious, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
There was an uproar in the conference room.
"What? Elder Mo Yun actually did such a thing?"
"How outrageous! He actually dared to sow discord and undermine the unity of the alliance!"
"You can never truly know a person's heart just by looking at their face! I never imagined Elder Moyun would be this kind of person!"
Mo Yun's face turned ashen.
Cold sweat dripped incessantly from his forehead, and his body began to tremble slightly.
He knew that he was finished.
The situation reversed instantly!
I looked at Mo Yun's distorted face and sneered inwardly.
Humph, you want to fight with me?
You're still too green!
I turned to look at Lingxin; she's truly my lucky star!
It always surprises me when I need it most.
Wen Chen's hand was still tightly holding mine.
I could feel that his palms were slightly sweaty.
I know he's worried about me too.
I turned around, smiled slightly at Wen Chen, and told him with my eyes, "Don't worry, everything is under my control."
Just then, True Lord Ziyang slowly raised his head, his gaze sharp as an eagle's, shooting straight at Mo Yun.
"Mo Yun, do you have anything else to say?" Zi Yang Zhenjun's voice was cold and majestic, like a sharp sword pointing straight at Mo Yun's heart.
Mo Yun's body jolted violently, and his face turned even paler.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
As I looked at the information Lingxin brought, my doubts grew, and I felt that things couldn't be that simple.
"There's probably more to this story than meets the eye..."
