“You expect us to believe you just because you testify?”
“Do you even know who we are?”
“You dare come here to testify?”
“What kind of thing are you anyway?”
An elder of the Yu Heavenly Clan spoke with utter disdain.
After all, Granny Wish God was extremely mysterious. No one had ever seen her, so naturally they did not recognise her disciple either.
He assumed this old woman was simply part of Chu Feng’s group, which was why he spoke so rudely.
But although this elder did not know her background, Yu Hong and Yu Yin certainly did.
The moment the elder opened his mouth, both their faces turned pale with fright.
They knew full well that this old woman had a terrible temper. For their elder to speak to her like that, she would never let it pass lightly.
Most importantly, anger was now spreading through the Yu Heavenly Clan. Not only had that elder spoken, others were also itching to join in.
“Elder, she… she is the disciple of Granny Wish God.”
Seeing things were going badly, Yu Yin hurriedly explained to the elder.
Afraid that others might say more offensive words, he spoke very loudly.
“The disciple of Granny Wish God…”
Sure enough, once they learned she was actually Granny Wish God’s disciple, the elder’s face instantly drained of colour.
He was terrified. A man who usually looked down on everyone now dared not utter a single word, frightened that anything he said might offend her further.
At that moment, the Yu Heavenly Clan head was the first to break the silence.
“Outrageous! How dare you be rude to the disciple of Granny Wish God? Apologise at once!”
Yet even the clan head had lost his earlier domineering air. Instead of defending his elder, he ordered him to apologise.
“I’m sorry. I did not know you were the disciple of Granny Wish God. I was greatly offensive just now. Please forgive me.”
The elder hurriedly bowed in apology, his tongue trembling as he spoke.
But Granny Wish God’s disciple merely gave a light laugh before saying,
“Why should I forgive you just because you ask?”
“This…”
Everyone from the Yu Heavenly Clan was at a loss for words.
“Senior, it was indeed his fault earlier. How would you like to handle this?”
The Yu Heavenly Clan head asked.
“He spoke without restraint. Cut out his tongue and we’ll call it settled.”
The old woman replied.
“What? Cut out his tongue?”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone from the Yu Heavenly Clan turned ugly.
Even the people from the Cloudsky Immortal Sect, the All-Demon Sacred Palace, and the Long clan were shocked.
Although the elder’s words had been harsh, speaking out of ignorance was understandable.
To demand his tongue be cut out for a single mistake was far too tyrannical.
“What, you’re unwilling?”
“Must I invite my master out here?”
The old woman asked.
At those words, the faces of the Yu Heavenly Clan members grew even darker. Every person present, whether elder or disciple, felt enormous pressure.
For a moment, all eyes turned to the Yu Heavenly Clan head.
At this point, they could only follow his decision.
“Senior, he only…”
The clan head began, still hoping to plead for leniency.
“Clan Head.”
But at that moment, the elder suddenly spoke.
When he did, people noticed a sharp dagger had already appeared in his hand. He looked towards the old woman.
“Senior, I spoke without restraint and disrespected you. I deserve punishment.”
With that, he swung his sleeve. A flash of cold light passed.
Blood sprayed from his mouth.
He did not want to put the clan head in a difficult position, nor did he want the Yu Heavenly Clan to suffer. So he punished himself.
In truth, for a martial cultivator, this was merely a flesh wound, no great punishment.
But it was a matter of face.
From this alone, one could see the terrifying influence of Granny Wish God.
It was understandable. After all, she was someone even the Sacred Light Clan feared.
“Yu Hong, what about that Cosmos Sack?”
The old woman turned her gaze to Yu Hong.
The instant her eyes landed on him, his body shook with fear.
He had never imagined that Granny Wish God’s disciple would get involved in this matter.
Yet when he recalled how their elder had paid such a price for a single insult, he realised that during the trial, this old woman had actually been holding back.
Now that the trial was over, she was finally showing her true ruthless side.
Facing such a person, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.
“It… it was me lying. I did indeed give the Cosmos Sack to Chu Feng of my own accord.”
“But it wasn’t that simple. Chu Feng tricked me too.”
“We were struck by thunder punishment at the time. He said the formation he set up could save my life, so I asked him for help.”
“But in reality, that thunder punishment wouldn’t have killed anyone.”
Yu Hong said, full of grievance.
“Oh? So the thunder punishment wouldn’t take lives? Then I must have misjudged it.”
Chu Feng said.
“Stop pretending. How could you not have known?”
Yu Hong roared, pointing at Chu Feng.
But the moment he saw the old woman beside Chu Feng, he quickly fell silent and shifted his angry gaze away.
The old woman then turned to Yin Daifen.
“Yin Daifen, when you were in the same group as Chu Feng, did he bully you?”
She asked Yin Daifen.
“No… no he didn’t.”
“I’m sorry. I lied.”
Yin Daifen’s face was filled with remorse, and tears streamed from her beautiful eyes.
Yet the old woman had no intention of letting it go. She asked again, “Was there anything false in what Long Xiaoxiao said?”
“No, nothing false.”
Yin Daifen replied.
With that, the truth was clear.
Smiles appeared on the faces of the Long clan chief, Long Xiaoxiao’s mother, and Long Shengbu.
After all, Chu Feng was on their side. Now that the truth was revealed, his actions only brought them honour and no shame. Naturally they were delighted.
As for the Cloudsky Immortal Sect and the Yu Heavenly Clan, the forces that had come to condemn Chu Feng, their feelings grew complicated.
They had never expected Granny Wish God to stand up for him.
“Thank you, Senior, for restoring the truth.”
Long Xiaoxiao said to Granny Wish God’s disciple.
“Since you came to my Wish God Palace to undergo the trial, we are obliged to reveal what truly happened during it, so that no one misunderstands my Wish God Palace.”
“But there is no need for thanks. I came out to testify only because I did not want people thinking my Wish God Palace was biased towards you. I did not come to protect the two of you.”
“I have done what needed to be done. Fight or kill as you please. My Wish God Palace will not interfere.”
With those words, the old woman’s figure flickered and she vanished.
Not only did she disappear, a barrier also appeared across the vast heavens and earth.
The previously invisible barrier materialised briefly before rapidly fading again.
Soon, the barrier was completely gone.
“Not good.”
Seeing the barrier disappear, Chu Feng inwardly cried out in alarm.
Granny Wish God’s disciple had spoken the truth. She had not come to help him. If anything, she had come to make things worse for him.
In reality, all the major powers already knew the truth. The Yu Heavenly Clan and Cloudsky Immortal Sect simply refused to admit it. They just wanted to deal with Chu Feng.
But as long as the barrier remained, they could do nothing to him.
Now that the barrier was gone, the situation had completely changed.
