Chapter 987: Sword Sect Master
Zhao Ruhuang was very proud.
If Zhou Ran went to the Sword Sect to prove his innocence, he would surely die, but if he didn't go, the dirty water on him would never be washed off.
With just a few words, he forced Zhou Ran into a desperate situation.
Zhou Ran then raised his head and glanced at Zhao Ruhuang. There was a hint of drunkenness on his face, but his eyes were sharp and chilling.
"A clown, are you qualified to talk to me?"
As he spoke, a sword energy passed by.
The sword energy was so fierce and fast that even Zhao Ruhuang, the head of the Sword Sect, had no time to dodge.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Zhao Ruhuang's head exploded and he fell into a pool of blood.
The citizens of Jiuqu City all looked at Zhou Ran in disbelief.
The head of the Sword Sect testified against Zhou Ran, so he should at least explain a few words?
How could Zhao Ruhuang be killed in one move? Isn't it obvious that he is guilty?
Qu Yang was also at a loss. Of course, he did not believe Zhao Ruhuang's lies, and the citizens did not all believe them. If Zhou Ran explained a little, he would naturally speak for him.
But Zhou Ran's actions were beyond his expectations.
Zhou Ran ignored the strange looks of the crowd, he slowly stood up and came to the center of the banquet.
Everyone sensed the sharp and domineering aura of Zhou Ran, and no one dared to say a word.
Even Qu Yang, a strong man in the middle stage of Hedao, was shocked by Zhou Ran's momentum.
Zhou Ran looked around and then slowly spoke.
"The clear is clear, and the turbid is turbid! I, the champion, will not explain to others what I have done!"
These few words left the citizens of Jiuqu City speechless.
The champion of Jingguo was majestic, like a god descending from heaven. No one could refute whether what he said was right or wrong.
Qu Yang was so impressed by Zhou Ran's words that he came to Zhou Ran trembling with fear.
"Marquis of the Champion, I believe in you, please continue drinking!"
Zhou Ran smiled faintly, said nothing more, and went straight back to his seat.
A few days later, Ao Tian, the leader of the Sword Sect, learned about the news of Jiuqu City.
Not only did the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation fail, but it also killed the hall master Yin Tianjiao and several Sword Sect masters. Even the lobbyist Zhao Ruhuang who was sent to mediate died in Zhou Ran's hands.
This was intolerable for the Sword Sect.
"Marquis of the Champion of Jing Country? A mere person from the Western Territory dared to meddle in the affairs of the Sword Sect? This time, if I don't cut you into pieces, I'm not the leader of the Sword Sect!"
Ao Tian was furious, and no one from the other Sword Sect members dared to persuade him.
If anyone angered the leader at this time, he would be killed on the spot.
Suddenly, a black gas lingered above the Sword Sect's main hall.
Ao Tian saw the black gas and his face suddenly darkened.
"I'm going to the secret room, no one is allowed to follow me!"
After saying this, Ao Tian walked into the secret room of the Sword Sect.
The black gas followed him, and gradually gathered together, turning into a man in black.
The man in black had no fear when he saw Aotian, but said: "Aotian, why didn't you complete what I asked you to do?"
Aotian snorted coldly and said: "Lord of the Turbid Breath, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because I have a handle on you! You and the Sword Sect have been using each other. If you force the Sword Sect into a corner, don't blame the Sword Sect for turning its back on you! Besides, in order to kill Zhou Ran, the Sword Sect has already lost a hall master. Now that the Sword Sacrifice is imminent, the Sword Sect has no time to deal with you!"
Facing the exasperated Sword Sect Master,
Lord of the Turbid Breath had no intention of retreating, but just smiled faintly and said: "The dignified Sword Sect Master is just a puppet! Moreover, what the Sword Sect did was not even known to the Sword Sect disciples themselves. The so-called Sword Sacrifice was just a cover! The real purpose of the Sword Sacrifice was to..."
"Shut up!"
Lord of the Turbid Breath was interrupted by Aotian before he finished speaking.
Ao Tian looked at the Lord of Turbid Breath angrily. This person was invisible and unpredictable, and could not be killed at all.
Otherwise, if the Lord of Turbid Breath had pressed the Sword Sect aggressively, he would have killed him long ago.
It was precisely because of this that he, the dignified leader of the Sword Sect, was controlled by him. More importantly, the sects in the inner domain that were involved with the Lord of Turbid Breath were not just the Sword Sect.
"Lord of Turbid Breath, what are you going to do? Ten days later, it will be the Sword Sacrifice. The Sword Sacrifice is of great significance to the Sword Sect, and the Sword Sect can't spare any manpower! If you want the Sword Sect to send someone to kill Zhou Ran, I'm afraid it's difficult to comply!"
Ao Tian looked disdainful.
The Lord of Turbid Breath raised his lips slightly and said, "What if I tell you that the person who ruined the Sword Sect's plan is Zhou Ran?"
"What!" Ao Tian showed a surprised expression on his face, "How is this possible? Wasn't it the Champion Marquis of Jing Country who cracked the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation? According to intelligence, the Champion Marquis is a disciple of the Donghua Immortal, and his Taoist name is Qingfeng Jushi, but Zhou Ran is from the outside world, how can they be mentioned in the same breath?"
"That's exactly the fact." The Lord of Turbid Breath said again, "The person you want to kill and the person I want to kill are actually the same person! This person will definitely appear in Longyin Mountain in ten days. He and the Sword Sect have an irreconcilable hatred. At that time, either he will die or the Sword Sect will be destroyed!"
"Will he come to the Sword Festival?"
Ao Tian gritted his teeth. Zhou Ran not only stopped the Sword Sect's plan, but also killed many of the Sword Sect's disciples. He wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
But this guy was able to crack the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation effortlessly, so he was naturally not an ordinary person.
When the battle comes, it is really unknown who will win or lose.
The Lord of Turbid Breath saw Aotian's face full of sorrow and said, "Since our enemy is originally one person, I will naturally help the Sword Sect."
"Help? Are you so kind?"
Aotian did not believe the Lord of Turbid Breath.
The Lord of Turbid Breath stopped talking and stretched out his hand. A small black ball appeared in his hand. The small ball was actually made of turbid breath.
"What is this?" Aotian looked straight at the small ball.
"Aotian, this is the essence of my turbid breath. As long as you integrate the essence into the sword formation, the power of the sword formation will be increased a hundred times. At that time, killing Zhou Ran will only be a matter of a flip of the hand!"
Aotian was silent.
He did not know much about turbid breath, and knew that it was an ominous force, so he was quite repulsive to the Lord of Turbid Breath.
But the turbid breath essence given to him by the Lord of Turbid Breath contained endless power, and the Lord of the Sword Sect could not help but be tempted.
Aotian stretched out his hand and held the small ball in his hand. .
At this moment, Aotian's entire body was infected by the turbid breath.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Turbid Breath showed a satisfied expression on his face and said coldly: "Turbid breath can infect people's hearts. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot escape the control of desire! Zhou Ran, in ten days, Longyin Mountain will be your burial place!"
