“Who would believe that you’re not the murderer?!”
Dongfang Xiagui was certain that Mo Xiao was the murderer. Therefore, no matter what, Mo Xiao was guilty.
Mo Xiao removed his right leg from his left leg. He sat upright and looked at Dongfang Xiagui. He said solemnly, “I can understand Patriarch Dongfang’s anger, but I didn’t lie. The last time I saw Brother Dongfang was indeed in the Central Pagoda. But the moment we entered the Central Pagoda, we were teleported to different worlds. Like everyone else, I didn’t know that Brother Dongfang had already died until today.”
Mo Xiao leaned back slightly and placed his hands on his abdomen. He said, “Whether you believe it or not, I didn’t kill Dongfang Sile.”
After listening to Mo Xiao and Dongfang Sile’s confrontation, Sheng Lingfeng and the other vice presidents didn’t say anything.
All kinds of evidence pointed to Mo Xiao, but Mo Xiao indeed had no motive. For a moment, they couldn’t make up their minds.
Just as Lin Jiansheng thought that this conversation was about to end, Xuanyuan Shen, who had never spoken, suddenly asked Mo Xiao, “Grand State Master, you said that you went to the Divination Continent to travel. You went there for two hundred years. May I ask if anyone can testify to this?”
The other vice presidents raised their heads and looked at Xuanyuan Shen in surprise.
Sheng Lingfeng asked Xuanyuan Shen, “Xuanyuan Shen, what do you mean?”
Mo Xiao suddenly looked up at Xuanyuan Shen. His gaze was deep and filled with probing and consideration, as if he wanted to see through Xuanyuan Shen’s soul.
Xuanyuan Shen had always been a little afraid of Mo Xiao. He didn’t dare to look Mo Xiao in the eye as he said with a smile, “Grand State Master, don’t be angry. I just suddenly thought of this after hearing the conversation between the Grand State Master and the Dongfang family head.” Xuanyuan Shen seemed to be a little afraid of Mo Xiao. His voice was soft, as if he would suffer revenge if he spoke too loudly.
However, after Xuanyuan Shen’s reminder, Dongfang Xiagui instantly had an idea.
“That’s right! Patriarch Xuanyuan is right!” Dongfang Xiagui patted his thigh excitedly. He was like a police officer who had suddenly discovered new evidence and was a little excited.
Dongfang Xiagui said quickly and logically, “Grand State Master, you said that after you parted with my great-grandfather, you went to the Upper World’s Divination Continent through the Central Pagoda. But anyone who has been to the Upper World knows that the Beast Tamers of our small world can’t go to whichever Great World they want.”
“The stronger a Beast Tamer is, the higher the level they can go in the Great World. The Divination Continent is one of the ten Great Worlds. So far, only you have been to the Holy Spirit Continent! In other words, other than you, no one has really been to the Divination Continent. Therefore, whether you have been to the Divination Continent or not, and how long you have been there, only you know. No one can testify!”
“I believe you’ve been to the Upper World, but I suspect you’ve never been to the Divination Continent. Perhaps you went to the same world as my great-grandfather!”
“Oh, right!” Dongfang Xiagui thought of another legend related to Mo Xiao. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Mo Xiao’s face.
After being seriously injured by the Blood Peacock Su Xuanye, Mo Xiao’s eyebrows had lost color overnight and had yet to recover.
Dongfang Xiagui stared at Mo Xiao’s white eyebrows and said, “According to what I know, before you went to the Great World to travel, you were a Prime Emperor. How did you become a Prime Master now? If I’m not mistaken, you were seriously injured when you were traveling in the Great World, right?”
Mo Xiao’s fingers, which had been quietly pressed against his abdomen, suddenly moved slightly.
Dongfang Xiagui noticed Mo Xiao’s small actions and thought that Mo Xiao felt apprehensive since he had guessed all the facts correctly.
Dongfang Xiagui suddenly clenched his fists. He gritted his teeth and asked with a distorted expression, “Mo Xiao, did you kill my great-grandfather because you were injured and your cultivation level fell drastically?”
“You asked me earlier to say your motive for killing. Isn’t this your motive for killing?!”
When Dongfang Xiagui asked this, the conference room suddenly fell silent.
