All eyes in the room turned to Suan Tianxing.
Swearing an oath to the heavens was no joke in this world.
If Suan Tianxing lied while swearing such an oath, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Suan Tianxing was well aware of this.
His expression froze on his face.
If he swore to the heavens that the person in the image wasn’t him, he would undoubtedly suffer the backlash of the heavenly laws.
But if he admitted that it was him...
Judging by the current attitude of the Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples...
They would surely brand him as a demonic entity!
This... was a dead end!
Suan Tianxing’s breathing quickened slightly as he covered his face.
He looked at his most trusted companions and pleaded, “Everyone... I’m really not a demonic entity...”
Zhang Hu snorted coldly, “Suan Tianxing, stop trying to deceive us. Just do as Mr. Qin said.”
“If you want to prove your innocence, swear an oath to the heavens!”
The junior sister also nodded tearfully, “Senior brother, please swear to the heavens that it’s not you.”
This... this is me!!
How can I swear to the heavens?!
Suan Tianxing realized that his fellow disciples, who had always respected him, were now looking at him with suspicion.
Defeated, Suan Tianxing hung his head like a deflated balloon and admitted, “It’s me...”
“!!!”
Everyone was stunned.
He just admitted it?
Qin Luo pressed further, “It’s said that the Celestial Master’s Heavenly Eye is an inherited treasure. Where is yours?”
Suan Tianxing shuddered and looked up sharply at Qin Luo.
You... don’t you know why my Heavenly Eye is gone??
Unable to defend himself, he opened his mouth but could only lower his head again, “I... can’t open it...”
“!!!”
Everyone was shocked once more.
Qin Luo continued, “Then, was it you who set up the cruise ship’s formation?”
Everyone had seen Suan Tianxing setting up the formation.
No matter how he tried to explain, it was futile. He had no choice but to admit, “It was me...”
Suan Tianxing raised his head and emphasized, “But I swear, that formation wasn’t a sacrificial array!!! It was just a regular demon-exorcising formation!”
As soon as he finished speaking...
Buzz!!
A crimson formation enveloped the entire cruise ship!!
A powerful pulling force surged from the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
This is...
“A sacrificial array!!”
“Suan Tianxing is trying to sacrifice all of us!!”
Everyone turned to Suan Tianxing in panic and anger.
Suan Tianxing was stunned.
He quickly looked up at the strange demonic entity in the sky and shouted, “You altered the formation! Stop!! Stop right now!!”
“Demonic entity! If you continue to frame me, the Old Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain will never let you go!!”
The Old Heavenly Master?!
Xiong Ha’s eyes flickered.
Having been around for so long, he naturally knew about the living legend of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
But!
Right now, he just wanted to survive and had no fear of Suan Tianxing.
Moreover...
Xiong Ha swallowed hard.
Let’s not forget that Suan Tianxing had lost a flame to him earlier.
If not now, then when?!
With that thought, Xiong Ha angrily waved the banner and cursed, “Suan Tianxing! Stop acting! It’s too late for Dragon Tiger Mountain now!”
“After devouring everyone on this ship, we’ll go somewhere else and live it up!!”
These words enraged everyone.
But some disciples who still believed in Suan Tianxing cried out, “Senior brother, please destroy the demonic entity!”
“If you defeat it, we’ll take you to the Old Heavenly Master to settle this.”
Suan Tianxing was about to respond when...
Suddenly!
A wave of dizziness hit him.
His pupils contracted. Oh no!!
This is... demonic energy!!
But even without my Heavenly Eye, I shouldn’t be possessed by demonic energy!
When did it...
Ah! That’s right!
Suan Tianxing suddenly remembered Zhang Tianquan patting his shoulder earlier.
It was... back then?!
But by the time he realized it, it was already too late.
In front of everyone...
After Xiong Ha’s accusations...
Suan Tianxing’s earlier anger and despair vanished, replaced by a resigned shrug, “Tsk, what a pity...”
He glanced around at the stunned crowd and grinned, “I was planning to stay hidden in Dragon Tiger Mountain, teaming up with disciples to exorcise demons while quietly making a few disappear.”
“But now... I’ll just have to... taste you all first!”
As he spoke...
A surge of demonic energy erupted from Suan Tianxing’s body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
His eyes turned crimson as he slowly rose into the air, standing beside Xiong Ha.
With his hands behind his back, he looked down arrogantly at the shocked crowd in the banquet hall, “The sacrificial array has been activated. No one can stop me now!”
“Not even the Old Heavenly Master!”
Everyone: !!!
All eyes widened in shock.
The new Celestial Master...
Was truly... a demonic entity!!!
Qin Luo stood below, looking up at the now-demonic Suan Tianxing.
He raised his hand and shouted righteously, “Demonic entity! For your own selfish desires, you infiltrated Dragon Tiger Mountain!”
“How many disciples have died because of you?!”
Zhang Hu, upon hearing this, suddenly recalled that Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples often died during demon-exorcising missions.
They had always assumed it was because the demons were too strong and the disciples too weak.
But now...
Could it be?!
Zhang Hu and the other Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples looked up in shock at the arrogant Suan Tianxing, “You monster! You monster!!”
“Those disciples... were all killed by you!!”
Why would I kill my own fellow disciples?!
Inside, Suan Tianxing screamed in panic and despair.
Let me out! Let me out!!
The demonic energy had taken advantage of his weakened state. Without his Heavenly Eye, he couldn’t quickly expel the possession!
On the surface, Suan Tianxing sneered, “So what if I did?”
“They were just ants, destined to die.”
“And you probably don’t know this, but many on this ship are already being refined by me!”
As he spoke...
He raised his hand.
Streams of black demonic energy surged from the bodies of most people present!
Including Zhang Tianquan!!
Thud!
Su Muwan tossed Zhang Tianquan aside.
He collapsed to the ground, his body emitting black smoke.
Seizing the moment, she slithered over to Qin Luo and poked his side, whispering in confusion, “Qin Luo, what’s going on?”
What’s happening?
Why did everyone go from wanting to kill her to wanting to kill Suan Tianxing?
She knew Suan Tianxing wasn’t a demonic entity!
He was a top-tier figure in her past life!
How could he possibly be a demonic entity?
Qin Luo turned his head slightly and whispered back, “Don’t worry, Miss. The show’s just getting started.”
“You’ll need to step in later.”
Su Muwan: ???
She blinked in confusion.
Just getting started??
Su Muwan glanced at Suan Tianxing.
This... won’t it be over in a few moves?
