Chapter 1253 - 1253: We're Definitely Not Acquainted

The Demon Cultivator Daoist Venerables all doubted if they had heard incorrectly.

Did those words just now come from the Void Abyss Daoist Saint?

When did he become so patient?

Is this still the same ruthless figure who once made the Blood Demon Dao tremble and the demons bow their heads in fear?

Void Abyss didn't care what they thought.

He just kindly pointed to the Three-Eyed Tiger not far away.

"Are you really not in cahoots with him?"

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable immediately shook their heads like rattles.

"No!"

"Of course not!"

They weren't foolish.

The Three-Eyed Tiger had just killed so many people from the Blood Demon Dao, he was obviously doomed.

Since reasoning was going to happen, they certainly couldn't afford to associate themselves with him.

To avoid getting implicated and covered in blood.

The Three-Eyed Tiger on the side was deliberately grinning mischievously, making trouble.

"Who said we're not connected? We are clearly familiar, aren't you Qi Wu Daoist Venerable, from the Celestial Palace's Celestial Separation Army."

"And you, Qian Yan Daoist Venerable, aren't you from the Law Enforcement Department?"

"See, we're very familiar with each other, why pretend not to know?"

Exposing them like this, Qi Wu and Qian Yan were furious.

The two of them started jumping and cursing angrily.

"You tiger demon, when did we ever know you?"

"Familiar with you? Who do you think you are to associate with us?"

"Daoist Saint elder, please do not be deceived by this vile beast, he's deliberately dragging people down, with the most malicious intentions!"

Void Abyss didn't seem so easily fooled.

"Then how does he know you?"

Qi Wu and Qian Yan quickly racked their brains, making up excuses.

"It's like this, we accidentally got swept in here by the Gang Feng earlier, and ran into them."

"Then exchanged names."

"That's how this Tiger Demon accidentally learned our identity."

"There's actually no relationship at all."

"Yeah, if we knew he would do such an outrageous thing, how could we have spoken to him?"

"We would only distance ourselves from them!"

"No..."

Feeling that merely distancing themselves wasn't enough to show their firm attitude, and fearing it wouldn't satisfy the Daoist Saint, they added more.

"We'd strike at them immediately!"

"Eliminate this Tiger Demon and his mastermind in advance to prevent the Blood Demon Dao from suffering such severe losses!"

Their declaration made Fellow Daoist Fan Lei speechless alongside them.

Can't you two have some integrity?

I've seen teammates being sold out, but never as thoroughly and shamelessly as you two.

The Demonic Cultivators in the back weren't fools either.

By now it was clear, the two Daoist Venerables Qi Wu and Qian Yan were obviously in league with that Three-Eyed Tiger.

So they started laughing together.

"These are all your one-sided statements, who are you trying to fool?"

"You think we're that easy to deceive?"

"I see you two are not much different from us Demonic Cultivators, equally vile and shameless, hahaha..."

"Void Abyss Daoist Saint, I think they're in cahoots with that Tiger Demon, better eliminate them together."

Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable were sweating profusely out of anxiety.

The two even took vows directly to swear for their lives.

"I can swear on my life, I absolutely do not know that Tiger Demon well!"

"Yes, if I'm acquainted with that Tiger Demon, then may my Daoist Heart shatter, and die a sudden death!"

Void Abyss wasn't too pleased with this.

"Your lives are never in your own hands to begin with."

"You're right..."

Qi Wu and Qian Yan wiped off cold sweat, daring not to retort.

They could only change their vows.

"I swear on the reputation of the Celestial Palace, I absolutely do not know him well!"

"If I'm acquainted with him, then may I never reincarnate!"

This vow finally got a nod of approval from the Void Abyss Daoist Saint.

"It looks like you really aren't familiar with them."

"Yes, absolutely not!" Qi Wu and Qian Yan stated firmly.

"Not just that Tiger Demon, but you're not even familiar with that person next to him?" Void Abyss glanced at Jiang Cheng.

Qi Wu and Qian Yan spoke in unison.

"We completely don't know that person!"

"Really don't know him?"

Void Abyss smiled: "I observe this person, and he doesn't seem like an unknown nobody."

Qi Wu and Qian Yan shook their heads like rattles.

"Who knows who he is? We only know he's in league with that Tiger Demon!"

"Right, just look at him, he's not a good person either!"

"Alas!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger couldn't help but sigh.

These two really chose a narrow path instead of the wide open road.

And after hearing their statements, Void Abyss didn't make an immediate decision but waved his hand noncommittally.

"You two stand over there for now."

He pointed to a spot over thirty feet away from where Jiang Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger were.

Although not immediately released, which was a slight disappointment for Qi Wu and Qian Yan.

But not being sentenced to death, instead being placed to wait on the other side, delighted the two greatly.

In their view, the Daoist Saint believed they were not aligned with the Three-Eyed Tiger.

That's why he separated them into two groups.

Next, those on that side would surely be executed while those on their side would survive.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but show smug expressions.

At this moment, the Void Abyss Daoist Saint also approached Fellow Daoist Fan Lei with interest.

"What about you, are you familiar with them?"

Fellow Daoist Fan Lei glanced enviously at Qi Wu and Qian Yan not far away, although their act of selling out comrades was despicable, being placed over there certainly meant survival.

He gritted his teeth, considering selling out once.

But he couldn't quite put his pride aside.

So he could only tightly grasp the cigarette in his hand, take a deep breath, and muster courage.

"What does it matter if I know them or not?"

Void Abyss said meaningfully: "That makes a big difference, it determines life and death."

This already made his stance clear.

Whether you live or die depends on how well you know Jiang Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger.

On the other side, Qi Wu Daoist Venerable and Qian Yan Daoist Venerable almost couldn't help cheering.

Just now they were guessing, now it's basically an announcement that they'll survive, because they worked hard to prove they were not familiar with the 'culprits'.

The heavy stones hanging in their hearts finally settled.

Even got the leisure to send a message to Fellow Daoist Fan Lei, showing concern.

"Fellow Daoist Fan Lei, you need to be knowledgeable about the situation!"

"It's not that we're not helping you, it's just that you're too dull, we can't carry you..."

"Whether you survive or not depends on yourself."

Fellow Daoist Fan Lei looked at them with disdain, then slowly raised the cigarette in his hand, which gave him endless confidence.

Even against the Daoist Saint, so what?

With this magical 'Trust Incense Secret Treasure' as a backer, he could hold his fate in his own hands, so why seek pardon from others?

Thinking of this, he smiled coldly.

"I know them, but I'm not acquainted."

"What that Tiger Demon did, has nothing to do with me."

"But if you want to fight, I'm not afraid!"

At these words, Qi Wu and Qian Yan both burst into laughter.
