I Don't Want To Defy The Heavens - Chapter 507
Chapter 507: The Alliance Makes A Move
Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige’s hearts were beating quickly.
The commander had actually asked them that.
That could only mean that the commander knew something, otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have asked that.
“We are not related at all.” Zhu Daoshen replied.
Wu Zhige raged, “Does commander think that we have something to do with him?”
Their retort seemed really guilty and weak.
The other nine-star generals in the meeting room were stunned when they heard the commander’s question. They were all filled with disbelief.
He was obviously trying to get at something.
A general stepped out and said, “Commander, is there a misunderstanding? We can talk nonsense but…”
This general mocked the two of them and said that they were already old and wanted them to give up their titles of the strongest nine-star generals.
Who knew that he would actually speak up for Zhu Daoshen?
Such a reasonable person…
He knew that for the Alliance to become stronger and stronger, they had to stay united. The strongest nine-star generals had to support it, otherwise, it would become disasterous.
“Right, General Zhu and General Wu have done so much for the Alliance, so how can they be maligned just like that.”
Many nine-star generals stepped out.
They didn’t gloat or strike them while they were down. To reach such a position, none of them were fools. If one thought that just by defeating a stronger general they could take over, then they wouldn’t be able to maintain that position.
The main reason was that the Alliance had too many enemies.
The enemies they faced were really strong too.
The commander raised his hand and told everyone to keep silent.
“General Zhu, General Wu, let me ask you for the last time. Do you have anything you would like to say to me.” The commander looked at the two of them with a cold gaze.
“No.” Zhu Daoshen said firmly.
“Good. Since that is the case, then look at this. I just got this, I think the two of you must take a look at it.” The commander’s face was dark and sunken and he passed a piece of equipment to the people beside him.
Very quickly, videos were shown in the meeting hall.
There were scenes of Lin Fan and Zhu Daoshen together.
The two sides seemed closed to each other and both of them attacked Heaven Covering Demon Sect. The entire process was being recorded down.
When Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige saw this, their heads instantly exploded.
How was that possible?
The first thing the two of them thought was that Lin Fan had conned them. But that was impossible. The kid didn’t have the chance. But who did it?
Who was able to record it all down without them noticing?
That could only mean that the person had been following them and moreover they weren’t able to notice.
This…
The noisy meeting hall suddenly quietened down.
Those nine-star generals who were talking on behalf of Zhu Daoshen kept silent. They could only look curiously at Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige and hope that they could give a reason.
Even if it was an unbelievable reason, they would choose to believe it.
“Who did it? Who could be so despicable.” Wu Zhige couldn’t help but roar. He didn’t expect someone to follow them and video them.
Wu Zhige looked at everyone and realized that their gazes had changed. For some reason, he felt like his heart was blocked.
Panic.
He panicked a little.
The commander said, “Do you have anything to tell me?”
“General, Wu Zhige and I have never betrayed the Alliance and have not colluded with the enemy.” Zhu Daoshen said solemnly.
He knew that someone was trying to drag them down.
But he didn’t know who that person was.
“Commander, I have given up everything for the Alliance. Now that someone videoed this, I don’t want to explain as it would only be an insult to me. Let me as the commander, do you believe me?” Zhu Daoshen asked.
The commander looked at Zhu Daoshen and kept silent. He really wanted to believe what Zhu Daoshen said but the evidence showed everything. If he didn’t give a reason, then how could he make him believe him?
“I do but tell me what happened. Why would the two of you head to Heaven Covering Demon Sect along with him. Don’t you know that the war between the four alliances is beneficial for us. Now that you’ve attracted the Evil Alliance’s attention, you should know what we are going to face next.”
The commander really didn’t dare believe that the two strongest nine-star generals would help Lin Fan suppress Heaven Covering Demon Sect.
They even let Heaven Covering Demon Sect find out about them.
Even if they had some intelligence, they would know the consequences of that matter.
What he didn’t know was that the Alliance nine-star generals had placed huge pressure on the two of them.
They only had one thought in their hearts.
It was to prove to everyone that they hadn’t grown old.
Zhu Daoshen said, “Commander, we can’t speak of the exact situation but we can swear that we are loyal to the Alliance and wouldn’t collude with the natives. As for exposing our identity, Lin Fan conned us.”
Wu Zhige kept silent.
He knew that at such a time, it was better to let Zhu Daoshen handle it.
After all, this person knew how to speak better than him.
With the evidence right there, he wouldn’t believe a normal person or any other nine-star general. But since they were Wu Zhige and Zhu Daoshen he knew that the two of them wouldn’t betray the Alliance.
He knew that the person who sent the equipment to them wanted the Alliance to deal with the two of them.
As long as one was a bit smart, one could see that.
At that moment, someone spoke up.
“Although there is evidence, I believe the two nine-star generals.”
“Me too.”
“Not any outsider can deal with our Alliance nine-star generals.”
“The two nine star generals have entered the Alliance when they were 14. Now that decades have passed, they have done so much for the Alliance. How can we suspect them like this?”
“Right, the Alliance was able to suppress Ocean Emperor Island and Hell Mountain not because of strength but because of trust. Now, at this crucial moment, obviously, the enemy will want to sow discord.”
Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige were stunned. He didn’t expect that at this moment, they wouldn’t strike them when they were down and would believe them instead.
This touched Zhu Daoshen and Wu Zhige.
Everyone nodded their heads and thanked them for their trust.
Suddenly, a nine-star general exclaimed, “Not good commander. Someone posted this on the Alliance’s platform and there has been 100 million streams. I think the entire Alliance has watched it.”
“What?” The commander was shocked. He got up and his expression was filled with disbelief, “Quick…”
“Forget it, we can’t stop them.”
The commander fell down powerlessly into his chair and frowned, “Someone wants the two of you to die.”
The nine-star generals in the meetin hall all felt that something was wrong.
Although the Alliance had no strength, the power of words was really terrifying.
Even more terrifying were the mid and lower tiers of society.
They built up the Alliance and if they realized that the Alliance hadn’t punished the two strongest nine-star generals, it would be a huge blow for them.
They would think that the Alliance higher ups weren’t safe and there were enemy spies.
If one didn’t care about it, no one could predict what was going to happen next.
In the outside world, one didn’t even need to say much.
The development of things was far more terrifying than they had expected.
“What is going on? Damn! General Zhu and General Wu actually colluded with the native. This is impossible, right?”
“What is impossible? The video is already here, so how could it be fake?”
“That old thief Zhu and old thief Wu, the Alliance Headquarters has to give us an explanation.”
Not only were normal people hollering, but even people from the schools were filled with doubt.
After all, these two were the two strongest nine-star generals from the Alliance.
Since such a thing happened in the higher ups of the Alliance, how could they trust the Alliance Headquarters?
On that day, the outside world was in chaos. The Alliance had its biggest uproar in history.
Maybe someone organised it or maybe the Alliance civilians started it themselves.
But that was enough to show how much this matter influenced the Alliance.
The nine-star generals in the meeting hall kept silent for a long while and they discussed for a long time too.
If they didn’t handle this properly, it would be really problematic.
“Commander, we were the ones who caused this, so we are willing to take responsibility. Please take back our title of strongest nine-star general.” Zhu Daoshen knew that it was hard to turn back, so it was better if they made the civilians satisfied. Then, the Alliance Headquarters’s trust would be affected and their attacks towards the natives would be badly affected.
“I really regret all this.” Wu Zhige was furious. If they didn’t work with that kid, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.
Not only was he regretting it, but so was Zhu Daoshen.
Their own honor and pride dealt such a huge blow to the Alliance Headquarters. That was just a stupid act.
The commander looked at the two of them.
All of a sudden, he didn’t know what to say.
“Okay then, the current situation is too complicated but don’t worry, we will solve this. As for who released it, we will find him. The person has to be from Alliance to be so familiar with the platform.” The commander said.
This was something he was most worried about.
With everything added together, one could guess that the one who released the video was from Alliance. Moreover, he wasn’t weak, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to take a video of them so easily.
After all, it was really difficult to video two of the strongest nine star generals without attracting attention.
The next day, the Alliance Headquarters released news.
They didn’t say that Zhu Daoshen had betrayed the Alliance but removed their titles. At the same time, they said that they had investigated and the outcome would be released after further work is done.
Of course, such an outcome naturally wouldn’t satisfy everyone but at least it could calm down many civilians.
Hell Mountain.
Evil God Zhen Ming stayed in his own room and looked at the latest news. He was expressionless and only his eyes shone brightly. He was filled with rage and hatred
