Chapter 1209: Capture Nan Xiao

Nan Yun’ao wiped his tears and said, "I received the Breaking Formation Communication Talisman sent back by Nangong, and according to the Master Cultivation Alliance regulations, I immediately brought some resources to the Dragon Team, hoping to ransom Nangong.

But Nan Xiao, fearing that Nangong would return home and expose his conspiracy, persuaded the Dragon Chief, even offering double resources just to prevent the Dragon Chief from releasing my Gonggong.

Supreme Elder, Great Elder, Second Elder, Gonggong is still suffering in the mortal world’s Dragon Team dungeon. I earnestly request everyone to come forward and rescue my Gonggong!"

The Great Elder and Second Elder comforted Nan Yun’ao, "Don’t worry, we’ll go out immediately, capture Nan Xiao to hold him accountable, and rescue Nangong. Isn’t that right, Supreme Elder?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

However, the Supreme Elder frowned and asked, "That child Nan Xiao has been entirely focused on cultivation within the sect for over a decade and hasn’t made many friends. Where would he get Demon Cultivator friends?

Moreover, I recall that the Demon Cultivator Qiu Chunshan who escaped from our family was Nangong’s friend, was he not?

The reason Nan Xiao left the Immortal Sect this time was that Qiu Chunshan, who used our Nangong Family Members to dispel the Cold Poison and was hunted by our Nan Family, only managed to escape from the sect, which gave Nan Xiao the chance to pursue him outside the sect right?

He was pursuing Demon Cultivators. How could he have colluded with them?"

Inwardly, Nan Yun’ao cursed the old man’s shrewdness, but outwardly wore an expression of despair: "I don’t know how he so quickly colluded with a Demon Cultivator. But one thing is certain: when Nangong was fighting the Demon Cultivator, Nan Xiao’s attack wasn’t aimed at the Demon Cultivator, but at Nangong.

And when the Dragon Chief shattered Nangong Dantian, although he didn’t act, he also didn’t stop it. I swear, these two points are true. If there’s any falsehood, may my Heart Demon invade and devour my soul to death."

Nan Yun’ao knew it was easy to convince the Great Elder and the Second Elder, but difficult to convince the Supreme Elder, so he made this oath.

In any case, it’s true that Nan Xiao attacked Nangong. During the fight between Nangong and the Demon Cultivator, Nan Xiao indeed did not assault the Demon Cultivator and instead targeted Nangong. That’s because, at that time, the Demon Cultivator had already been knocked unconscious by Xiao Li, and Nangong’s full-force strike was intended to obliterate the Dragon Team squad.

Nan Xiao’s single attack was only to rescue, not to kill.

And when the Dragon Chief shattered Nangong’s Dantian, it’s true that Nan Xiao didn’t stop it, because he wasn’t present at the scene.

When someone mentions that no one stopped some action, people instinctively think the person was present. Nan Yun’ao’s words took advantage of this assumption, making it seem to everyone like Nan Xiao was present but didn’t intervene, ignoring the possibility that Nan Xiao wasn’t on the scene.

Moreover, since Nan Yun’ao made a Heart Demon Oath, both the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Supreme Elder believed his words.

Furthermore, when a person whose words comprise eight lies out of ten makes an oath on two true statements, others are likely to believe those true statements along with the eight false ones.

What’s more, these two truths were dressed up and did not reflect the actual situation.

As a result, even though Nan Yun’ao was distorting the truth, the Heavenly Elder, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder all believed him.

"Supreme Elder, Great Elder, Second Elder, you must save Gonggong; he really is being wronged. It’s Nan Xiao, he is the one trying to harm Gonggong!"
