Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, the room suddenly fell silent. After a long moment, Huo Zhixian spoke coldly, "Very well. Let us set this aside for now. Zhang Yan, are you aware that there is a disciple in the sect accusing you of colluding with the Three Pools Lake Demon?"
Zhang Yan froze for a moment, then burst into laughter as though he had just heard the most absurd joke. He said, "I am a True Disciple of this sect, walking the Great Dao of enlightenment. Why would I collude with demons? Do you seriously take stock in such claims, Senior Brothers? Could it be that the desire in your cultivation practice has clouded your minds?"
This feeble excuse of throwing filth upon him was so clumsy that Zhang Yan could not help but sneer at it.
