The expressions of many disciples and elders were different. They were all skeptical about Ling Xiao killing Huang Wuji. But now that it was really Long Aotian who killed Huang Wuji, it was bound to arouse the hostility of the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace.
Today's Temple of War God is in a precarious situation, and is no longer as powerful as it was a million years ago. It can be ranked among the twelve immortal holy places, but it is only at the bottom.
These years, we have been able to recuperate and recover only thanks to the alliance with the Jiuchong Imperial Palace and the Taishang Taoist Palace.
Therefore, the disciples of the Temple of War God were very aggrieved. Whenever they met disciples of the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace and the Supreme Taoist Palace, they would choose to give in, which made the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace more and more arrogant and domineering.
After all, the power of the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace is extremely terrifying, and it can be ranked among the top even among the twelve immortal holy places.
"Is it true that the only thing we can do in the War God Temple is to swallow our anger and sacrifice our own disciples?"
Seeing the reactions of Lei Qianjue, Xing Jun and others, many disciples felt sad in their hearts, as if they were grieving for the loss of their loved ones.
This is the Temple of the God of War. When will the people from the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace be able to show off their might here
When Ling Xiao saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel furious. This was the Temple of War God. This was the Temple of War God that the Red Dragon God of War would never forget. When had they become so spineless? All the blood in their hearts had been worn away. If this continued, what future would the Temple of War God have
I'm afraid that sooner or later he will fall from the twelve immortal holy places and be swallowed up by someone.
As a result, Ling Xiao's feeling towards the white-robed war god in the void also began to become somewhat disgusted.
The Temple of War has become what it is today, and as the Supreme God of War of the Temple of War, he must bear a great responsibility!
Ling Xiao stood up and sneered, "I didn't kill Huang Wuji! But to prove my innocence, I am willing to accept the questioning of the Holy Dao!"
"Long Aotian, you..."
Liu Wen Zheng suddenly became anxious and wanted to stop Ling Xiao, but was stopped by a look from Ling Xiao. For some reason, Liu Wen Zheng's heart suddenly calmed down. He believed that Ling Xiao would not make a meaningless sacrifice. It seemed that he would accept the Holy Way's questioning only when he was sure in his heart.
Zhan Tianxing, Lei Qianjue and the others were all a little surprised. According to their guess, it was most likely Ling Xiao who killed Huang Wuji. How could he dare to accept the questioning of the Holy Dao? Was there something they didn't know
"Very good! You are quite courageous. If it is proven that you did not kill Huang Wuji, I will not make it difficult for you! But if it is really you who killed Huang Wuji, don't blame me for being rude!"
Huang Tai glanced at Ling Xiao indifferently.
"I am willing to accept the Holy Way's questioning of my conscience, but I have one condition!"
Ling Xiao said coldly.
"What conditions?"
Huang Tai asked indifferently.
"This is my War God Temple, not your Nine-Layered Imperial Palace. I am a disciple of the War God Temple, not a disciple of the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace! This is not a place where you can come and go as you please! If you can prove that I killed Huang Wuji, then I am willing to accept your punishment! But if it is ultimately proved that I was not the one who killed Huang Wuji, I want you to apologize to me!"
Ling Xiao looked directly at Huang Tai and spoke, his eyes clear and his voice extremely passionate.
"Long Aotian, I think you are dreaming, right? Who do you think you are? How dare you ask the Emperor to apologize to you?"
A harsh voice was heard, and Zhan Tianxing's eyes were full of sarcasm.
“That’s right! How could the Emperor Sheng, a saint, apologize to you? Long Aotian, you’d better stop stalling! I think you killed Huang Wuji, so you’d better plead guilty and obey the law, and don’t destroy the relationship between my War God Temple and the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace!”
Lei Qianjue also sneered.
"shut up!"
Ling Xiao suddenly looked at Zhan Tianxing and Lei Qianjue, and scolded: "Left and right, the relationship between the War God Temple and the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace, right and left, the relationship between the War God Temple and the Nine-Layered Imperial Palace, are you still disciples of the War God Temple? Since when did my War God Temple have to rely on others to survive?"
"Where is your blood? Where is your pride? Where is your backbone?"
"I finally understand why the Temple of War God has weakened. It's not because of the catastrophe a million years ago, but because of you who bully the weak and flatter the strong, who only know how to bully your own people but kneel down to lick the scum of others. You have been kneeling for too long and have forgotten how to stand up and straighten your spine to be a human being!"
Boom!
Every time Ling Xiao spoke, he would take a step closer to Zhan Tianxing and Lei Qianjue. His voice was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the entire War God Temple. He was like an ancient sage who rebuked evil demons and upheld justice and truth. His whole body exuded an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura.
"We are the good men of the War God Temple. We don't need to please anyone! We kneel to the heaven, the earth, and our parents. Anyone who dares to make us kneel is our enemy and must be killed!"
"The spirit of our War God Temple is to fight against heaven and earth, and against all enemies that can be fought! Even if there are tens of thousands of people, we will go! If we lose this blood and our pride, even if the War God Temple exists, what is the difference between it and being destroyed?"
"I, Long Aotian, am a man of integrity and pride. I am ashamed to be associated with spineless people like you!"
Every word Ling Xiao spoke was majestic and passionate, with a vast force of heaven and earth wrapped around him, pressing down on Zhan Tianxing and Lei Qianjue, instantly making them tremble with fear and turn pale, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"well said!"
"I am a good man from the War God Temple. I am passionate and proud. I will not kneel to anyone!"
"Damn it! Anyone who insults our War God Temple will be killed without mercy!"
"… "
Many disciples and elders of the Temple of War God were excited by Ling Xiao's words. Their eyes became extremely bright, full of anger and fighting spirit, and they glared at Huang Tai, Zhan Tianxing, Lei Qianjue and others!
At this moment, it was as if the long-forgotten fighting heart of everyone had awakened, and the energy and blood of countless disciples and elders in the entire War God Temple surged and condensed into a blazing divine light, covering the heaven and earth.
"Junior Brother Long is right! We in the War God Temple would rather die standing than live on our knees!"
Tian Gang and the others were all excited, while King Xuan, Wang Lin, Min Rou and the others all had a hint of strangeness in their eyes when they looked at Ling Xiao.
"Good! Good! Good! Master, did you see that? You have a good disciple..."
Liu Wen Zheng was already in tears, his whole body was filled with excitement, and in a trance he seemed to see the shadow of Ling Xiao, the one who swept across the world invincible and suppressed the world millions of years ago. At this moment, the Red Dragon God of War and Ling Xiao seemed to have merged into one.
Everyone was in shock, and even the white-robed God of War had a complicated look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Xiao.
"This boy is able to mobilize the fighting spirit and martyrdom of everyone in the War God Temple. He must not be allowed to stay!"
Huang Tai's originally extremely indifferent expression finally changed.
There was a hint of deep fear in his eyes as he looked towards Ling Xiao, and even a hint of extremely hidden murderous intent!
