Chapter 653 Fanning the flames
Not long after, Hua Wudi indeed withdrew the Netherworld Sect's demon-killing team. The reason he gave was that the demons should not be angered, so as not to bring greater disasters to the Near Immortal Continent. Before, everyone was able to live in peace.
After withdrawing the team, Hua Wudi did not forget to accuse Rulong of having ulterior motives.
All parties were puzzled by the Netherworld Cult's move. They felt that the Netherworld Cult was too petty and had no sense of the overall situation.
Rulong took the opportunity to fan the flames, saying that there must be collusion between the Netherworld Cult and the Demon Clan, and that within the Shenzhou Alliance, it has been rumored since ancient times that there are close ties between the Netherworld Cult and the Demon Clan.
At this point, all the forces in the world were paying close attention to the reaction of the Netherworld Cult. After all, all the forces had heard about the unclear relationship between the Netherworld Cult and the demons.
Normally, in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, the Netherworld Cult would at least do some superficial work, such as taking some actions to show its position. However, surprisingly, the Netherworld Cult chose to remain silent, which undoubtedly made other forces more suspicious and wary of it.
Not long after, Rulong began to spread the news, claiming that there were rumors within the demon clan that the leader of the Netherworld Cult, Hua Wudi, had secretly formed an alliance with the demon clan and the Demon Emperor in an attempt to divide the world into three parts. However, due to some unexpected circumstances, this alliance plan was temporarily shelved.
As soon as this news came out, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, instantly causing an uproar in the world. All the forces that had originally been suspicious of the Netherworld Sect now pointed their spearheads directly at the Netherworld Sect and launched fierce questioning and accusations against it.
The Dog Qi Sect, Wolf Qi Sect, Eagle Qi Sect and other forces jumped out one after another, demanding that Hua Wudi explain what was going on and whether there was really an alliance with the demon clan and the Demon Emperor. Faced with such tremendous pressure, Hua Wudi was obviously a little exasperated.
Therefore, Hua Wudi decided to go to the Demon Lord in person to argue and ask for an explanation. He angrily broke into the Demon Lord's palace and questioned the Demon Lord face to face: "I have withdrawn my troops as agreed, why did you spread such news to betray my Netherworld Sect?"
The Demon Lord explained innocently, "I definitely didn't do this! How could I do such a thing? It's very likely that the Demon Emperor harbored hatred towards me, so he deliberately spread this rumor to frame you."
Hua Wudi's anger did not subside after hearing the words of the Demon Lord. He retorted: "The Demon Emperor and I have no grudges or hatred. Why would he come to provoke me for no reason?"
The Demon Lord said with a gloomy face: "There is no doubt that he is deliberately trying to sow discord between you and me. This is extremely disadvantageous to me."
Hua Wudi pondered in his heart that he also couldn't be sure whether it was the Demon Lord or the Demon Emperor who spread the rumor, but things had come to this point, in order to make up for this mistake as much as possible, he decided to start a fierce battle with the Demon Lord so that everyone in the world would know that he had fought with the Demon Lord.
However, it was obviously not enough to quell the anger of the major forces just by pretending, so they fought extremely hard and even started real fights, causing both sides to suffer a certain degree of damage.
They chose a mountain forest to fight, and the energy around them surged violently like surging waves, as if to destroy the entire world. A scarlet light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Demon Lord, and the magic sword in his hand swung out instantly, and a black sword energy rushed towards Hua Wudi like lightning.
Facing this fierce attack, Hua Wudi snorted coldly, and his footwork instantly became erratic. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he easily avoided the attack of the black sword energy. At the same time, he slapped out with his backhand, and this palm contained extremely powerful spiritual power. Under the pressure of this powerful force, the surrounding air made a crackling sound.
