Buzz!

The Righteous Alliance experts had originally believed that Ji Andu was speaking nonsense and was trying to frame Young Master Qingyang out of envy for the closeness of his relationship with Song Youran. But now that they thought about it, they truly did not know where this Young Master Qingyang had been throughout the battle. He had seemingly disappeared like a puff of steam.

At this moment, even Ouyang Changheng, who had firmly supported Wang Chong, unconsciously shot a glance at him.

Wang Chong said nothing, his expression calm. He did not attempt to retort as he waited for Ji Andu to finish.

”Not only that, it's one thing if Young Master Qingyang doesn't help us, but do all of you know where I found him at the fiercest moments of the battle? At the base of the mountain! I found him at the base of the mountain. That Young Master Qingyang of yours was getting ready to secretly flee this place!” Ji Andu coldly said, his voice oozing with disdain.

Bang!

The crowd fell into an uproar. However, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting remained unmoved.

”How could this be?”

The Righteous Alliance experts began to whisper amongst themselves, shooting glances that were different from before at Wang Chong.

”Hmph, that's not the end of it. Did none of you notice that when these people first arrived, they seemed to charge straight up the mountain with a definite goal, but when it seemed like they couldn't find their target, they began to fight with us? Do you need me to explain to you what might be worth searching for in our Righteous Alliance?”

Ji Andu broadly grinned. He stared viciously at Wang Chong, his intentions clear.

Whoosh!

For a moment, all fell silent, save for the sound of the gusting wind. Everyone stared at 'Young Master Qingyang', an invisible tension building up in the air.

At this time, only three people had retained their composure. One was Righteous Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi, the second was Righteous Alliance Vice Lord Xie Guangting, and the last was none other than the center of attention, Wang Chong.

”Are you done?” Wang Chong said indifferently as he walked forward with his hands behind his back. These three words immediately had everyone waiting with bated breath. His expression was composed, and even though all the experts of the Righteous Alliance surrounded him, he showed no fear. When he heard that Song Yuanyi had invited him, Wang Chong had already guessed at what was going on.

There was no such thing as a free banquet. Whether it was Ji Andu, Song Yuanyi, or the vice alliance lord, all of them were difficult customers. The first would find every way to make trouble for him while the other two had succeeded in entrapping the Demonic Emperor Old Man at his peak. From this, one could easily see how shrewd they had to be.

These people had been suspicious of him from the very start, and recent events had probably only increased their suspicion. If he answered poorly, all the Righteous Alliance experts surrounding him would attack.

It seemed like Song Yuanyi was choosing to stand by the wayside or even speak up on his behalf. But Wang Chong was sure that if he didn't step up, the Righteous Alliance Lord would strike more swiftly and viciously than anyone else here!

”It seems like Protector Ji's bias toward me has already reached an irreconcilable level! With just a few groundless accusations, you wish to push me into the abyss! Truly a completely unscrupulous fellow!”

Wang Chong shot a glance at Ji Andu, who felt his heart jolt in ill foreboding.

”Hmph, I'd like to see what arguments you can make!” Ji Andu coldly sneered.

”On my first day in the Righteous Alliance, Protector Ji misunderstood me to have designs on Miss Song and wanted to attack me, but Miss Song stopped him. Then, he started to doubt that I was the real Young Master Qingyang. Even now, when the alliance was under attack and everyone was bitterly fighting, Protector Ji was not thinking about ways to deal with the men in black, but ran all the way to the base of the mountain to find me! I thoroughly appreciate Protector Ji's heartfelt concern!”

Wang Chong glanced at Ji Andu and smirked.

Thump!

Ji Andu felt his heart thump once more, his face instantly paling.

The expression in the eyes of the Righteous Alliance Elders and disciples also shifted. In this battle, the Righteous Alliance had sustained serious losses, with six to seven hundred disciples entering their eternal sleep. When Ji Andu, a Protector of the Righteous Alliance, was needed the most, he had run off to search for Young Master Qingyang. There was no denying this.

”Don't speak nonsense! The entire mountain was covered in enemies. I had rushed there at the time to reinforce the area!” Ji Andu harshly said.

The expressions of the others remained doubtful. Saying anything more at this time was pointless. There was no question that Ji Andu was targeting Young Master Qingyang, and the explanation he gave now was a feeble and unconvincing one.

”Heh, whether that's right or wrong, I won't say. I'm sure everyone understands,” Wang Chong said.

”Don't try your word tricks here! You didn't appear once during this night raid, much less command the Righteous Alliance disciples in dealing with the men in black. When something abnormal happens, there's always an evildoer behind it. While everyone else was fighting with the men in black, you were hiding around, even trying to escape off the mountain! If you say that these people weren't coming for you, then who were they coming for? And the elders of the alliance can all serve as witnesses. You can't escape this charge!” Ji Andu coldly shot back, his demeanor imposing and showing no intent of letting Wang Chong go.

”Heheh, I must thank Protector for saying this.”
