Chapter 522 - 522 522 An Apology is Not Enough

Chapter 522: Chapter 522: An Apology is Not Enough Chapter 522: Chapter 522: An Apology is Not Enough Hmm?

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

Besides eyewitnesses, what other solid evidence could there be in this matter?

He pondered.

Jiang Fan suddenly realized the existence of something, and his face changed!

His heart kept sinking.

Damn it!

How could he have forgotten about that!

This was irrefutable evidence!

Jin Zhongming sneered and turned to bow to Lei Zhenhai, saying,

“Sect Master Lei, is the Sky Monitoring Crystal still intact?”

Everyone then remembered.

Before the battle.

Lei Zhenhai had thrown a Sky Monitoring Crystal into the sky.

It would record the entire battlefield, capturing every corner.

The initial purpose was to facilitate the tallying of the enemies slain by the elders and disciples to establish their merit ranks.

Now, it had become the crucial evidence for Jin Zhongming to convict Jiang Fan!

Xie Liushu and a few other disciples who knew the truth felt their hearts sink.

It’s over!

As long as the Sky Monitoring Crystal is retrieved and the previous recordings are reviewed, Jiang Fan wouldn’t be able to escape his fate.

It would be difficult for him to deny anything.

The only hope was that the Sky Monitoring Crystal had been damaged during the battle.

If it was damaged, Jiang Fan could still escape the conviction.

If otherwise…

“Of course, it’s intact!” Lei Zhenhai glanced sideways at Jiang Fan with a faint smile.

He took out the perfectly intact Sky Monitoring Crystal from his sleeve.

“Not only is it intact, but it also fully recorded every detail on the battlefield.”

“Check whatever you want, see for yourself!”

He casually tossed the Sky Monitoring Crystal to Jin Zhongming.

The latter hurriedly caught it, as if holding Jiang Fan’s fatal weakness, a twisted grin spreading across his face.

“Jiang Fan, your death is near!”

Jin Zhongming shook the Sky Monitoring Crystal, laughing coldly.

“Weren’t you overpowering me on the merit leaderboard?”

“Weren’t you very impressive in the Sky-breaking Canyon?”

“Weren’t you constantly achieving mighty feats on the battlefield?”

“Now, keep jumping around!”

“Why aren’t you acting all mighty?”

“Today, I will make sure you suffer eternally!”

“I will make you kneel and beg for mercy!”

“Zhongming!”

Kong Yuanba shouted urgently, “Stop wasting words with him!”

“Show the evidence to everyone!”

“Let them all see if I’m unreasonable!”

“Anyone who dares to stand in my way, don’t blame me, Kong Yuanba, for initiating a sect war!!!”

His cold and stern words shook the hearts of the other sect elders.

If it was indeed confirmed that Jiang Fan was the murderer of Tie Bubai,

Then, it would be a blood feud between the Giant Sect and the Green Cloud Sect.

They really couldn’t interfere anymore.

Qiu Shengnan silently lamented, calculating everything, but how had they forgotten about the Sky Monitoring Crystal?

Now, Jiang Fan seemed to have no way out.

With Kong Yuanba’s overbearing nature, he would never let Jiang Fan go.

Jin Zhongming also sneered as he activated the Sky Monitoring Crystal.

Dynamic scenes were projected into the sky, showing a bird’s eye view of the battlefield, recording the battle.

From them throwing torches to tossing rolling logs, to the lower ice surface being melted away.

Finally, to Demon Moon using Dead Corpse Poison Bees to cause chaos among the Boundary Mountain guards.

The Dead Corpse Army successfully climbed onto the upper ice surface.

They were about to charge towards the Boundary Mountain Peak.

Jin Zhongming sneered, “Everyone, open your eyes wide.”

“See if it’s as I said, Jiang Fan used a Purple Sword to cut the ice layer!”

Xie Liushu and the others sighed secretly.

They clearly remembered, Jiang Fan drew his sword the next moment.

Li Qingfeng, Wen Hongyao, and Zhao Wuji exchanged glances.

Killing intent surged in their eyes simultaneously.

No need for illusions.

Prepare for a tough battle!

Jiang Fan sighed secretly again, once more silently urging the butterfly hairpin.

It seemed,

He had to face Kong Yuanba head-on in a battle.

He just didn’t know if Lei Zhenhai would join Kong Yuanba’s side.

Seeing how he cooperated with Jin Zhongming and handed over the Sky Monitoring Crystal,

he was likely supporting Kong Yuanba.

So when the battle started, the situation would be particularly unfavorable for the Green Cloud Sect.

But as Li Qingfeng said,

If the Giant Sect wanted to kill someone from the Green Cloud Sect, they should be prepared to pay a huge price!

To say the least, Jiang Fan would try his best to kill Jin Zhongming!

Even if he was to die, he would drag someone significant with him!

Jin Zhongming sneered,

already envisioning the extremely tragic death of Jiang Fan!

Kong Yuanba sneered even more.

He wouldn’t give Li Qingfeng the opportunity to kill Jin Zhongming again.

Later, the first to be killed would be Li Qingfeng.

Then he would finally deal with the brat Jiang Fan!

As he thought so.

The scene continued forward.

But at the critical moment.

Jiang Fan took out a Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain and smashed it onto the ice.

The upper ice surface, along with a large portion of the Dead Corpse Army, slid down the mountain like an avalanche, resolving the crisis.

Eh?

The ready-to-fight Jiang Fan was stunned.

Xie Liushu and the other disciples were also stunned.

Kong Yuanba stood still.

He shot a piercing glance at Jin Zhongming, “Where is the Purple Sword you mentioned?”

“Didn’t you say he cut the ice layer with a Purple Sword?”

“Where is the sword?”

Jin Zhongming was also stunned, saying, “No, that’s not right!”

“Before using that mountain, he first cut the ice layer with a Purple Sword.”

“The scene is missing a piece, the most crucial piece!”

“Sect Master Lei, what is going on?”

He directed his gaze at Lei Zhenhai.

Lei Zhenhai’s gaze turned cold and he said in a deep voice, “What do you mean?”

“Are you suggesting that this sect tampered with the Sky Monitoring Crystal?”

Jin Zhongming dared not offend Lei Zhenhai.

He hurriedly waved his hands, “No, no, I mean, is there a problem with the Sky Monitoring Crystal?”

Lei Zhenhai and Jiang Fan hadn’t been on friendly terms.

So there was no need for him to cover up for Jiang Fan, right?

The only possibility was that there was a problem with the Sky Monitoring Crystal.

Lei Zhenhai snorted, “Why don’t you consider that there might be a problem with your eyes?”

“No one else saw it, the Sky Monitoring Crystal didn’t capture it, only you saw it!”

“Your perspective is truly unique!”

Uh—

How could this be?

The ready-to-fight trio of Li Qingfeng were also stunned.

Then they burst into laughter in rage,

“Ha! Jin Zhongming, you’re something else!”

“Fabricating things that never happened!”

“If not for the Sky Monitoring Crystal proving our disciple’s innocence, wouldn’t we have been wrongfully killed by your Giant Sect on this Boundary Mountain?”

“Kong Yuanba! You allowed your disciple to falsely accuse and harm others, deliberately plotting against a war hero of the Boundary Mountain battle!”

“I will report you to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, make sure you face the consequences!”

“Outrageous!”

This time, it was Kong Yuanba who found himself in a tight spot.

He had believed Jin Zhongming’s certainty without second thought.

Who would have thought it was a misunderstanding?

Leading him to bear the reputation of harming a war hero.

Thinking of this,

he viciously slapped Jin Zhongming, “You rascal!”

“Were you blind? How could you speak without confirming?”

“Apologize to Jiang Fan immediately!”

Jin Zhongming’s face burned hotly.

As a proud genius, he had always been Kong Yuanba’s pride.

Today, he received a solid slap from him.

It was an unprecedented humiliation.

He gritted his teeth slightly and insisted, “I did not see it wrong!”

Smack—

His response was another slap from Kong Yuanba, “Still being stubborn?”

“Apologize right away!”

Shifting blame was the only way for Kong Yuanba to step down.

Albeit at the expense of Jin Zhongming.

At that moment, Jin Zhongming hated Jiang Fan deeply, and also resented Kong Yuanba.

Clearly, he did it for the Giant Sect.

But instead, he was slapped in the face and forced to kneel!

Fine!

He would remember this grudge!

Enduring immense humiliation, he said, “I’m sorry, Junior Brother Jiang!”

“I was mistaken.”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.

Murderous intent flowed in his eyes.

To be honest, he would rather Jin Zhongming remained stubborn and unyielding.

This kind of Jin Zhongming posed no threat to him.

In contrast, a Jin Zhongming who could endure and adapt aroused his killing intent.

Such a person, who could endure humiliation today, would repay tenfold or a hundredfold when in power!

It was best to root him out!

But unfortunately, in front of Kong Yuanba, he had to suppress this thought.

With indifference, he said, “Sect Master Kong, this is the second time you’ve wronged me.”

“Could it be that the price I asked for the last time was too light, that you think you can escalate your actions?”

“If I don’t get a satisfactory explanation today, I will report today’s events to Vice Pavilion Master Gu and Vice Pavilion Master You!”

Kong Yuanba had just threatened him with violence.

Now he thought a simple apology from his disciple would suffice?

How could it be so easy?
