"I was the one that killed them," Long Chen said in front of everyone.
He had long ago realized that the Elders wanted to kill them for whatever reason they could find, what he hadn't thought was that they would have a person who would be able to see through lies.
He was already prepared for the fight that was about to ensue as soon as the Heavenly Slaughter Sect's Elder said his first word to stop Manxiang Li from leaving.
He didn't react in all this time as he was waiting to see how Manxiang Li would respond, but it was good. He managed to see that even after all that, Manxiang Li didn't betray him, but even if he had betrayed him, Long Chen wouldn't have worried.
He was prepared to go through a battle with Elders as soon as he had killed the Disciples inside the Divine Heaven Sect.
"You killed them all?" The Sect Master of the True Dao Sect asked.
