White Horse and the people around him were stunned to hear the conversation between the master and disciple.
Chester was a virtuous and upstanding person, yet his son honored Zhang Jue as his master.
At the same time, Darryl was staring at Neil blankly; he was speechless.
Then, Zhang Jue stared callously at White Horse and said coldly, "After you pretended to take refuge with me and secretly plotted to kill Chester, you fled back to the Eternal Life Sect and seized the opportunity to take the position as the Sect Master. Then, you took my Sky Breaking Axe."
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, a loud cry emerged unexpectedly from behind them! Immediately afterward, a figure flashed toward Darryl's back and slapped a palm attack on him!
White Horse was the first to react—he burst out laughing. "I got it now. It turns out that Darryl and Zhang Jue conspired with each other a long time ago."
Then, he looked around and addressed the crowd in a resonant tone. "Everyone, Zhang Jue is talking nonsense and slandering me for killing Sect Master Chester. In fact, his purpose is to save Darryl. We must stand united and not let him succeed."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard White Horse's statement.
Then, Weston said, "That made sense! Why would Chester's son honor Zhang Jue as his master if Darryl had not colluded with Zhang Jue? Everyone knows that Darryl and Chester are sworn brothers. After Chester's death, Darryl was like a father to that kid. How could he become Zhang Jue's disciple without Darryl's express permission?"
Wow!
Many people agreed with that theory; they nodded and applauded.
"That makes sense."
"In that case, we've done the right thing by trying Darryl in public. What a coincidence!"
Darryl was bewildered. 'F*ck! White Horse is too mean. He is blatantly making up stories. The last time I saw Neil was three years ago. How could I possibly tell him to take Zhang Jue as his master?'
"White Horse, go to hell!"
Suddenly, Neil roared and whizzed forward, hitting White Horse with a palm attack.
Neil was at a vibrant and spirited age; he could not tolerate White Horse's fabricated lies.
"Well, well, well! Come on up!"
