Chapter 1325: Exposing the Lie
Upon seeing that it was an old acquaintance, Elder Duan, Ye Yun smiled subtly.
This Elder Duan has truly turned into a captain of the fire brigade.
Having crossed paths with him several times, he was even more familiar than Ling Tian.
Seeing Elder Duan, who was in the God Emperor Realm, suddenly appear, Pan Wu’s aura instantly weakened, and he no longer dared to be arrogant.
This was the territory of Sword Pavilion, and Elder Duan was a powerful figure in the God Emperor Realm. No matter how arrogant he was, he didn’t dare to challenge the authority of the Sword Pavilion’s elder.
"Elder Duan, you’re just in time..."
Ye Yun said with a smile.
Seeing Ye Yun’s smile, Elder Duan knew what was going on but couldn’t stop the twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Someone was going to be in trouble.
That unlucky person, naturally, was Pan Wu.
Earlier, in front of everyone, Pan Wu shamelessly claimed that he had passed the third layer of the Sword Array.
This behavior was truly excessive.
If not for the emergence of Ye Chen, a Sword Dao prodigy, the high-level members of the Sword Pavilion would have had some tolerance for a Sword Dao pride like Pan Wu and wouldn’t easily expose him.
But in comparison, Ye Chen’s position was evidently more important.
Ye Chen wanted to expose the lie.
Elder Duan appeared just in time, naturally standing by Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, if you have something to say, just say it."
Elder Duan took a deep breath and said with a smile.
Seeing Elder Duan being so courteous to Ye Chen, the onlookers of Sword Dao pride were all shocked and speechless.
Beside them, Jiang Lengyue’s beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Elder Duan, then at Ye Yun, and finally at Pan Wu, unsure of what she was thinking.
"Elder Duan, did I pause for a while by Pan Wu’s Sword Array just now?"
Ye Yun asked with an easy smile.
"Indeed."
Elder Duan nodded without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Pan Wu’s expression changed drastically, preparing to berate Ye Chen.
However, Ye Yun didn’t give him the chance and continued, "I saw with my own eyes that Pan Wu’s Sword Array had only one layer. Elder Duan, I wouldn’t be mistaken, right?"
"Not at all."
Elder Duan replied with a continued smile.
"Elder Duan, don’t listen to Ye Chen’s nonsense, how could he have appeared next to my Sword Array?!"
Pan Wu became anxious, unable to help defending himself.
"Pan Wu, Ye Chen was indeed next to your Sword Array at that time, but you couldn’t see the forest for the trees and didn’t notice..."
Elder Duan said casually.
"How... how is this possible?"
Pan Wu’s eyes widened in disbelief, shouting loudly, "Elder Duan, even though there were some people by the lakeside near me, there was absolutely no Ye Chen!"
Upon saying this,
He stared straight at Ye Yun and loudly questioned, "How did you appear beside me?"
"After breaking through the Sword Array, I found it boring, so I wandered over to your side..."
Ye Yun laughed heartily.
Pan Wu’s exasperated expression made him feel somewhat pleased.
Furrowing his brow, Pan Wu coldly questioned, "You despicable fellow, what were you scheming by lurking near my Sword Array?"
"Haha, nothing in particular!
I just felt that you loved to lie, so I made a point to see how many layers your Sword Array had, but who knew it was just one!"
Ye Yun laughed aloud.
Hearing this, laughter erupted all around.
Everyone seemed to understand.
Previously outside the Sword Array, besides Ye Chen’s appearance, this God Emperor Realm Elder Duan also appeared.
Therefore.
With such an important witness on the scene, Ye Chen’s words were true.
It was this Golden Sword God who was lying.
Thinking about such a powerful figure lying publicly, many Sword Dao pride found it unbelievable.
"Elder Duan!"
Pan Wu suddenly turned around, clasped his hands in respect, and said in a deep voice, "Ye Chen is only at the cultivation base of God Venerable Realm, how could he see through the mysteries of the Sword Array beside me? Please, Elder Duan, speak for me and reveal the truth of the third layer of the Sword Array to everyone!"
After finishing,
Pan Wu lowered his hands, his expression extremely stern, giving off an untouchable demeanor.
His gaze was fixed on Elder Duan, full of expectation in his eyes.
"Alas, this poor child, if it were someone else, I would help cover for you, but unfortunately, not today..."
Elder Duan looked at Pan Wu, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.
He coughed, clearing his throat, and said calmly, "In front of all these prideful talents, I can testify that every word Ye Chen said is true, and the Sword Array that ensnared Pan Wu indeed had only one layer."
These words were like a huge stone thrown into a lake, stirring up waves of shock.
Once everyone learned the truth, they were all rendered speechless with surprise.
Soon after, a shocking question emerged in everyone’s minds.
If the Golden Sword God’s Sword Array had only one layer, why did it take him so long to break through?
In theory.
The Golden Sword God and White-Clothed Sword God had similar strength, if it were truly a single-layer Sword Array, he should have come out long ago.
Why was he much later than the White-Clothed Sword God, Jiang Lengyue?
"Interesting..."
Originally feeling melancholic, Jiang Lengyue’s mood unfolded at this moment, revealing a charming smile.
Ye Chen vented for her and also exposed Pan Wu’s false facade.
In the Thousand Lakes Sword Array challenge, Jiang Lengyue triumphed over Pan Wu.
"Elder Duan..."
Pan Wu’s face was now ashen, he looked weakly at this God Emperor Realm elder of the Sword Pavilion, his body trembling, almost fainting.
In front of so many people, his disgrace was enormous.
He had never experienced such a shameful moment in his life.
With a sigh, Elder Duan looked at Pan Wu and advised sincerely, "Pan Wu, although you came out of the Thousand Lakes Sword Array later, you still succeeded in breaking through by force, earning a spot in the second round, so there’s no need to be too sorrowful..."
Pan Wu hung his head low, and after a long pause, he spoke nothing.
Seeing that Elder Duan was quite skilled at comforting, Ye Yun smiled subtly.
It seemed that Pan Wu was also valued by the higher-ups at Sword Pavilion.
If it weren’t for his outstanding performance, Ye Yun believed that even if he told the truth, Elder Duan would have covered for Pan Wu.
After finishing his words, Elder Duan left gracefully.
The square fell into a terrifying silence.
Many people looked at Pan Wu and dared not speak, only a few God King Stage Eight Sword Dao pride wore mocking smiles at the corners of their mouths.
They feared the Golden Sword God, but they didn’t.
In terms of strength.
They were on par with the Golden Sword God, some possibly even stronger.
Ye Yun returned to Jiang Lengyue’s side, who gave a charming and gentle smile.
"Thank you."
Jiang Lengyue said softly.
"It’s just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."
Ye Yun said nonchalantly, seeing a hard-to-define emotion in Jiang Lengyue’s eyes. He spread his hands, "Don’t think of repaying with your life, I can’t accept that kind of thanks!"
"Oh, get lost, who would marry you!"
Jiang Lengyue gave Ye Yun a sidelong glance, exuding endless charm.
"Haha!"
Ye Yun laughed twice.
This White-Clothed Sword God Jiang Lengyue truly was an interesting lady.
This journey to Sword Pavilion, with this little beauty by his side, Ye Yun believed he wouldn’t be too lonely.
After a moment.
Pan Wu lifted his head, his expression returned to normal.
He gazed nonchalantly at the light gate in the void, no longer concerning himself with Jiang Lengyue and Ye Chen in the distance.
Seeing this thick-skinned fellow, Ye Yun smiled.
Surely, this Pan Wu had come to hate him, and might retaliate harshly in the upcoming trials...
