Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2284: Chapter 2285: Sophistry

”Indeed, at that time, everyone could see the situation clearly. If I hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid he would have met a deadly fate, and thus, there would have been no witnesses.”

After Tao Yuyu finished speaking, Pan Su chimed in agreement.

Behind him, those so-called witnesses, although feeling something was amiss, saw that Lin Chen indeed had an overwhelming aura of dark energy, just as Pan Su had described.

”So according to you, everything was orchestrated by Lin Chen? But how do you explain Lin Chen’s predicament when his true form was seized, and what about the conspiracy Tao Yuyu mentioned?”

Before Pan Su left, Chen Lin naturally discussed with Liu Qinghan, questioning the figure returning from the spiritual realm.

Their replies were truthful, recounting the events concerning Tao Yuyu in the spiritual realm without exaggeration or falsehood.

Thus, before questioning Tao Yuyu, these details were already noted in their minds.

”Elder Chen’s words are correct, but at that moment, my consciousness was invaded, everything I said and did was not of my own will.”

”Furthermore, Lin Chen’s underground palace may also be part of a scheme. Haven’t you considered how strange his origins are? His physique is astonishing, like Lu Kang, practicing a cultivation technique typical of demonic sects - it’s too coincidental.”

”And since his arrival, has the sect known a day of peace? Various signs indicate that Lin Chen is not a simple person.”

Tao Yuyu’s words plunged everyone present into thought.

Lin Chen’s strange origins were undeniable, suddenly joining the sect without any cultivation of spiritual energy.

Even though many sects exist purely for body cultivation, not just demonic sects, Lin Chen’s formidable physique, yet no cultivation, is suspicious.

Plus, Lin Chen’s presence in the sect seemed to coincide with the occurrence of all these events.

This introspection on-site, although insufficient to alter everyone’s perspective, planted a seed of doubt in their minds - which was enough for Tao Yuyu.

”Misleading the crowd!”

Chen Lin’s hands trembled slightly with anger due to Tao Yuyu’s actions; with Chen Jie yet uncertain to awaken, Tao Yuyu’s excessive argumentation seemed to Chen Lin to be a distortion of fact.

”How is it distorting facts? Earlier, you accused my disciple of being a demonic sect infiltrator, and I said nothing. Now everything clearly points to Lin Chen – it can’t be mere slander.”

Pan Su spoke softly, fixing his gaze on Chen Lin, sparking a fiery challenge between their eyes.

With a key figure missing, the truth was hard to decipher.

And Chen Lin, already aggrieved because of Chen Jie, was incited even more by Pan Su, making him stand with a desire to fight.

”What, unwilling to believe the truth and wishing to silence by murder?”

Pan Su sneered, converted his earlier frustration into anger, having long been displeased with Chen Lin.

Should Chen Lin strike first, Pan Su would surely retaliate, as Chen Lin is no match for Pan Su in terms of strength.

”The earlier witnesses have returned to rest; Pan Su and Tao Yuyu will remain, and the others depart. I will make my own decisions.”

Liu Qinghan finally spoke, seemingly exhausted; he gently rubbed his temples in fatigue.

Indeed, he was tired, and the arguments only added to his headache.

”But Sect Master...”

Chen Lin was alarmed, turning to speak once more to Liu Qinghan.

”Enough, withdraw!”

Liu Qinghan’s tone carried an anger, his words gaining weight. His gaze projected a beam difficult to refuse.

Under this gaze, Chen Lin’s heart sank slightly, though unwilling, he knew Liu Qinghan’s decision was unchangeable.

Angrily, he picked up Chen Jie and moved toward the hall exit, shooting a hateful glance at the two before leaving.

Despite this, Tao Yuyu and Pan Su showed little fear, Tao Yuyu even appeared grateful.

”Jie’er, if the Sect Master is unjust, I will seek justice for you!”

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, his playful demeanor replaced with solemnity. Holding Chen Jie, he walked farther toward his dwelling.

Once everyone departed, Liu Qinghan tapped his chair, eyeing Tao Yuyu thoughtfully.

Under this gaze, Tao Yuyu appeared nervous again, but comforted himself, believing no major flaws in his words.

”Do you think your tricks can deceive me?”

Seeming to read through Tao Yuyu, Liu Qinghan spoke softly.

He hadn’t believed a word of Tao Yuyu but refrained from dealing with him due to the presence of Pan Su.

”Sect Master, my disciple may be mischievous, but he will not betray his master!” Pan Su insisted stubbornly.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qinghan sighed.

Were it not for Pan Su, Liu Qinghan’s temperament would have thrown Tao Yuyu into the water prison without much talk.

This reservation was not due to Pan Su’s strength or power but because of Lu Qiming’s words.

If Lu Kang’s power restored, only the sect’s Holy Artifact could counter him.

The sect’s sacred item was not found within the sect but was held by Pan Su.

This was Liu Qinghan’s apprehension, knowing Pan Su’s extreme protectiveness from earlier when Lin Chen eliminated Azure Dragon members.

Thus, Liu Qinghan couldn’t rush to convict Tao Yuyu, fearing Pan Su’s unpredictable actions.

Otherwise, Liu Qinghan wouldn’t have tasked Pan Su with finding Tao Yuyu’s whereabouts.

”Seems, after all this, it’s time to change an elder.”

So Liu Qinghan thought to himself, clearly displeased with Pan Su.
