One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

He surveyed the entire room, his tone becoming incredibly tragic, as if he were about to face execution:

"Both of my virtuous brothers are over a hundred years old. The good reputation they have built up throughout their lives must not be ruined in their later years!"

"If you take Ma Xianhong away today, you'll never be able to clear your name of this 'coveting the Eight Extraordinary Skills' label, no matter how hard you try!"

Zhang Tianyi took a deep breath and patted his chest sharply:

"Therefore! To prove the innocence of my two virtuous brothers! To protect your noble character!"

"I, the Daoist priest, will take the blame for you all, and bear this infamy!!!"

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone's jaws nearly dropped to the floor.

Two crocodile tears even welled up in Zhang Tianyi's eyes, and his voice was firm and powerful:

"If I don't go to hell, who will?!"

"This Ma Xianhong will be taken away by the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain today! Take him back to the mountain and keep a close watch on him. Make him clean the toilets every day to atone for his sins!"

"Let the whole world see that Elder Wang and Elder Lü have absolutely no intention of coveting the Eight Extraordinary Techniques!!!"

Everyone in the venue was stunned by Zhang Tianyi's words.

Just when most people hadn't yet figured out this logic, which was comparable to a Sichuan opera face-changing act plus a brain teaser.

In the corner of the auditorium.

Suddenly, a very shrill and infectious wail erupted!

"Waaaaah! So touching! Absolutely so touching!"

Three men, all ugly and wearing thick gold chains around their necks, were seen hugging each other and crying their hearts out.

Zhang Cai wiped away his tears and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"What is this?!"

"These are the pillars of the righteous path!"

"To protect the reputation of the Ten Elders, Master Tian Shu was willing to bear the infamy himself! What a noble act of righteousness!"

Guan Bao and Di Dou immediately followed the rhythm, waving their arms wildly to set the pace:

"The righteousness of Master Tian Shu!!!"

"The real person is the one everyone hopes for!!!"

"Elder Wang and Elder Lü are of noble character! True Master Tian Shu sacrificed himself for others! This is truly a blessing for our world of extraordinary beings!!!"

Under the guidance of the super professional atmosphere-building team at Xiaotaoyuan.

The "actors" in the audience who had long been bribed by Zhang Chulan began to exert their efforts.

"A truly righteous person!!!"

"Longhu Mountain is awesome!!!"

This kind of emotion is contagious.

In addition, most of the people in the audience already had little affection for the Wang and Lü families.

Now that someone has stepped forward to pry this piece of fat meat out of their mouths, everyone is overjoyed!

As a result, more and more people joined in the call.

In less than half a minute, the entire Wukesong Arena was in an uproar!

Thousands of people stood up simultaneously, tears welling in their eyes (from trying not to laugh), clapping wildly and shouting in unison:

"Master Tian Shu is truly righteous! We support Longhu Mountain in taking Ma Xianhong away!"

"Prove the innocence of Elder Wang and Elder Lü!"

The sound was so loud it almost blew the roof off the stadium.

In the private room on the second floor.

Zhang Chulan watched this scene through his binoculars and laughed so hard he rolled on the ground.

"Hahaha! Oh no, I can't take it anymore!"

"Those guys from Xiaotaoyuan have really improved their acting skills! We have to give them extra chicken legs when we get back!"

……

And on the high platform at this moment.

Wang Ai and Lü Ci were completely dumbfounded.

The two old hands, whose combined age was nearly two hundred, stood rooted to the spot like two wooden stakes.

They heard thousands of people chanting that they were "of noble character" and "did not covet the eight extraordinary skills".

Looking into Zhang Tianyi's eyes, he had a tragic expression that said, "I'm doing this all for your own good."

The two felt as if a whole piece of raw ginger had been stuffed into their throats, both spicy and choking.

A mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest, unable to be spit out or swallowed.

"A real...real person...this...how could I possibly trouble you like this..."

Wang Ai's hand holding the cane was trembling, and her nails were scratching themselves until they turned white.

He made a final attempt to persuade them: "Let us handle this man..."

"Xiao Wang! Stop talking!"

Zhang Tianyi grabbed Wang Ai's hand and squeezed it tightly, his face full of emotion:

"I understand! I understand everything!"

"I know you feel sorry for me! But for your innocence, I will not suffer any injustice!"

After speaking, Zhang Tianyi didn't give them a chance to speak. He picked up the microphone and silenced the entire room once again.

"Everyone! Besides taking the blame, I, Daoist Master, have something else to do today!"

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand, "The Wang family and the Lü family have contributed money and effort to hold this conference. We cannot let them down with such dedication!"

"boom!"

Zhang Tianyi patted the pouch at his waist.

In an instant, dozens of top-tier magical artifacts radiating rich Qi appeared—the Heart-Protecting Mirror, the Evil-Slaying Blade, the Flowing Light Shield…

It fell with a clatter at Wang Ai and Lü Ci's feet, piling up into a small mountain.

"These are all high-grade magical artifacts, crafted using divine technology and seized in Biyou Village!"

Zhang Tianyi waved his hand and announced with great pride:

"Today! I, Daoist, have made the decision! I will donate all these magical artifacts to the Wang and Lü families free of charge as a security subsidy for this conference!"

"Let's give a round of applause to these two selfless gentlemen!!!"

"Whoa!!!"

The applause from the audience was thunderous.

"The real person is so magnanimous!"

"Old Wang Lü truly deserves his reputation!"

Listening to the deafening applause, and looking at the pile of magical artifacts at his feet—which, while not bad, were utterly insignificant compared to the core technology of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements—he was left speechless.

Wang Ai and Lü Ci were in utter despair.

This is the ultimate, open conspiracy!

This is truly killing someone by destroying their spirit!

They are now being roasted over a fire by thousands of people, and praised as "saints" who do not covet the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

The ritual implements were also placed under their feet.

They have no choice but to take this hush money!

If they continue to cling to Ma Xianhong at this point, it would be tantamount to admitting in front of the whole world that their previous "justice" was all bullshit, and that they themselves are hypocrites who covet the Eight Extraordinary Techniques!

They can't afford to lose face like this.

Wang Ai and Lü Ci exchanged a glance.

The eyes of the two old foxes were bloodshot.

Wrong!

I've never felt so frustrated in my life!

Finally, Lü Ci took a deep breath, forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"Since...since the real person is so considerate of our reputation..."

"Then, regarding Ma Xianhong, we'll have to trouble Longhu Mountain to take care of him."

Wang Ai was so angry that her hands trembled. She could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger, managing to utter a few words with difficulty:

"Thank you for the magic weapon, Master."

"Oh, don't be so polite! We're all family!"

Zhang Tianyi patted the two men on the shoulders with satisfaction, then waved his hand and shouted to the NaDuTong employees below the stage:

"Men! Pack this serious criminal up and send him back to Xishan Manor!"

Alright!!!

Zhang Chulan, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't wait any longer and led his men onto the stage.

They pushed and dragged Ma Xianhong, who was still in a malfunctioning state, down the stairs.
