Shen Luo turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him. He just clasped his fists and bowed to Cheng Yaojin, Yuan Tiangang, and the Qinglian Fairy. He did not look at the Green-haired Lion King, Yang Jian and others, nor did he pay attention to the reactions of the people below the stage. He walked to the only chair opposite and sat down calmly.
When they saw Hu Bugui on the opposite side, they were both stunned for a moment, and then nodded to each other as a greeting.
Everyone present was stunned, and the voices of questioning and accusation instantly became quieter.
There was no fool among them. Seeing that no one stepped forward to stop Shen Luo's behavior, they knew that his identity must be special, but the curiosity and doubt in their hearts became stronger.
"Everyone, please be patient. This Daoist Fellow Shen is here today on behalf of Fangcun Mountain to confront Lion Camel Ridge, Demon King Village, Pansi Cave and Lingbo City. He represents Patriarch Bodhi." Cheng Yaojin stood up and walked forward to clear up the confusion for everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone on the stage looked normal, obviously they had already known it in advance. There was another round of excitement in the audience, with everyone speculating about Shen Luo's identity, saying that he should be the direct descendant of Patriarch Bodhi, or even his most respected closed disciple.
However, Cheng Yaojin did not say anything about Shen Luo's other identities.
"Everyone, this Yanhe Conference is aimed at guiding the three realms to live in harmony and jointly promoting peace among all races. However, an event occurred previously that shocked the three realms and disrupted the peace. I'm sure you all know about it, and that was the siege of Fangcun Mountain." Cheng Yaojin cleared his throat and spoke.
Upon hearing the sound, everyone fell silent again.
"I know that there are all kinds of rumors flying around the Three Realms about this matter, and all kinds of gossip are spread with details, but today I want to get to the bottom of it, re-examine the cause and effect of this matter, and tell everyone in detail." Cheng Yaojin continued.
"Okay." The sects in the audience that had already received favors from Fangcun Mountain immediately responded.
"Please be objective and fair and give Fangcun Mountain justice." Someone responded.
Those people from the demon clan and monster clan kept their mouths shut and did not say a word.
"Speaking of this matter..." Then, Cheng Yaojin began to narrate the causes and consequences of the Fangcun Mountain incident.
Shen Luo listened at the side, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
According to Cheng Yaojin's description, this operation to wipe out the sects, led by the four major sects and in collaboration with many small and medium-sized sects, turned into a farce caused by various misunderstandings.
In this incident, Lion Camel Ridge and Pansi Cave still bear the main responsibility, while Demon King Village and Lingbo City bear secondary responsibility. As for the fact that the demon clan and the monster clan joined forces to try to open the seal of the Well of Gods and Demons, it was simply ignored.
Shen Luo couldn't help but frown, and gripped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.
Just when he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stand up and refute, the voice of the Imperial Master Yuan Tiangang suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, don't be angry. We have discussed this matter with Fangcun Mountain, and they agreed." Yuan Tiangang said in a calm tone.
"They agree? Our ancestors are not crazy, how could they agree to such a thing?" Shen Luo didn't believe it at all.
