C780 He Was Talking Nonsense
When the three of them heard that, they paused again. Furthermore, they were the powerhouses of the sect. When they spoke, they naturally wanted to beautify the actions of the sect. This was practically something that they had gotten used to, but they had never thought that... Lin Cheng did not give them any face at all.
Although it was extremely awkward, the three of them didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Lin Cheng. Just now, Lin Cheng had already revealed his killing intent towards them. Although they had explained it to him, Lin Cheng seemed to have already flipped the page over, but they knew that Lin Cheng was actually waiting to investigate in the future. If they found out that what they said was not true, they would probably cause trouble for them.
Furthermore, with Lin Cheng's Cultivation Level, there was no need for him to wait for the results of the investigation. Even if he killed the three of them now, the most he could do was to offend the sect behind them. But even so, what could he do?
When Lin Cheng was still a Divine Ability Stage Cultivation Level, he dared to fight Ming Danjing and so many other experts by himself, let alone now that Lin Cheng was a mighty figure.
Even if their status in the sect wasn't low, the sect wouldn't risk their lives against a mighty expert just because of them.
They knew this too well.
Therefore, the three of them were extremely honest and didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. They could only answer Lin Cheng's question honestly.
"Fellow Taoist Lin, it's not like all the major sects have never tried to suppress the devil, but they all failed in the end."
The purple-robed Male Cultivator said, "After Ming Danjing from the Formless Immortal Sect of Southern Domain came, she had summoned the experts of Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou more than once. They wanted to discuss how to deal with the devil together. But in fact, before that, the various sects have already tried, and they've all sent out top level experts."
"Oh?"
Lin Cheng looked at him with some doubt, "You sects still have this kind of courage?"
Facing Lin Cheng's sarcasm, the three of them could only smile bitterly, but did not dare to refute.
The thin Male Cultivator said, "The sects in Dongzhou have offended the Fellow Taoist before, so the Fellow Taoist doesn't trust us. This was very normal, but the Fellow Taoist could think about it. Since the establishment of the major sects in Dongzhou, there have been experts taking turns guarding the Devil-suppressing Cliff. I think the Fellow Taoist must have heard of this before."
Lin Cheng did not say anything, he just listened quietly.
But in fact, he knew that what Male Cultivator said was right. In the past, there was indeed a powerful sect guarding Devil-suppressing Cliff.
Although he didn't know if they had been guarding the ___ since the day the major sects were founded, it was true. Lin Cheng had heard about this from Zou Qingqi. At that time, Lin Cheng was merely an Incarnation Stage Junior Cultivator. Zou Qingqi had no reason to lie to him about this matter.
"When the Fellow Taoist guarding the Devil-suppressing Cliff found out about the anomaly, they immediately reported it to their sect. At the same time, they are also trying to find a way to suppress the Great Devil and completely dispel the idea of breaking through."
"Unfortunately, their strength wasn't enough, even if the Great Devil was just a little stupid at that time. However, no one knew how long they had been accumulating their strength. Furthermore... The Imperial Tripod in Devil-suppressing Cliff was too powerful, and it wasn't something they could control."
"After learning about the situation in Devil-suppressing Cliff, all the major sects have started to pay attention to it. They have sent their experts there. I heard that Sect Master has also gone there to investigate. But in the end, he still couldn't suppress Great Devil. It was precisely because of this that... It was only because of this that today's disaster occurred."
The three of them narrated the situation that they had come to understand. Whether it was the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou or the major sects, after discovering the unstable situation in the Devil-suppressing Cliff of the Dongzhou, however, because the devil was too powerful... Their strength wasn't enough to suppress the devil, which was why the devil broke through the suppression in the end. It managed to escape.
Lin Cheng listened and didn't argue with them. He also stopped Green Snake who wanted to speak.
Green Snake looked at the three of them. In his heart, he was very indignant and disdainful. In her opinion, these three were talking nonsense, or even inverting the truth.
How was the situation in Devil-suppressing Cliff? During the period before the Great Devil broke through and suppressed them, green Snake didn't know what kind of response those sects had made. However, there was one thing that she was very clear about, and that was... These sects must have a way to stop the Great Devil from breaking through and suppressing it. Or rather... They had a way to limit the Great Devil, and no matter what, they could delay the Great Devil from escaping.
Otherwise, the experts of these sects wouldn't have discussed the matter of dealing with the devil together with the Heavenly Star Sect. Ming Danjing wouldn't have come from Southern Domain to gather the sects of Dongzhou. She was afraid that she wouldn't even dare to set foot in the Dongzhou.
Just from this point alone, Green Snake was sure that these three people were lying and talking nonsense.
The sects of the Dongzhou must have some reason to prevent them from taking action against that devil.
Perhaps it was because if they wanted to deal with that devil, they would have to pay a huge price. Or perhaps they were worried that the others would take advantage of the situation when they were fighting with their lives on the line, and would take the opportunity to develop and strengthen themselves. Maybe it was for some other reason.
However, no matter what the reason was, at the very least, these sects didn't make a move when they could deal with the Great Devil. That was why the Great Devil had escaped from Devil-suppressing Cliff.
Fortunately, the Great Devil didn't start a massacre after escaping. For some unknown reason, it had founded the Celestial Devil Sect. If the Great Devil really started a massacre as soon as he escaped, or if it was as they had guessed, the Great Devil had traveled across the Prefecture Boundary to other provinces, and had rescued all the Great Devils that were suppressed in those provinces.
At that time, it would be the joint attack of a few Great Devils. The consequences of that would be enough to make one's scalp go numb. It was imaginable how terrifying it would be.
Even though this kind of terrifying scene had yet to happen, however, no one could guarantee that it wouldn't happen in the future. What if the devil found out that it couldn't achieve its goal of establishing the Celestial Devil Sect? Then, it would head to another province to rescue the other devils. When that time came... The major sects in Dongzhou would be the sinners of billions of lives. They would never be able to redeem themselves even if they died a hundred times!
With that, how could Green Snake give these three good looks?!
These three people were also very uncomfortable under Green Snake's contemptuous gaze. However, they were helpless. They could only shift their gaze away and not look at Green Snake. They could only pretend that Green Snake did not exist.
"No matter what you did in the past, now that the great devil has escaped, furthermore, you have established the Celestial Devil Sect. I want to know what you plan to do next." Lin Cheng didn't have much of a reaction, nor did he look at them with disdain. He just asked calmly.
