The other one had a bald head and wore a patched kasaya. He looked just like a monk.
The last one wore a gorgeous palace dress. She had a graceful figure and carried a great immortal sword on her back. She walked over in the air.
None of these people were to be trifled with. Just one look was enough to see how powerful they were. It was enough to make one's heart tremble.
"We welcome the representatives of the Poison Sect."
Gu Shanhe, Gu Shanqing, Family Head Zhao, Family Head Lin and the others cupped their fists and greeted respectfully.
Xiao Yang, Chen Zhifu, Li Qinghe, Lan Jiaoye and the others cupped their fists as well.
Elder Lei nodded and smiled. He said with relief, "We already know about what happened in Flame City. The Li Family is deranged and everyone has the right to punish them. The Poison Sect will not allow such a family to exist to prevent them from harming others."
The Sword Pavilion Elder was a fairy-like woman with a cold temperament. She opened her red lips and said, "All of you, step back. We have seen what you have done. Leave the rest of the Li family to us."
Elder Buddha was a bald monk. He smiled casually like a Maitreya Buddha. He put his palms together and asked everyone to step back. He saw Xiao Yang from the corner of his eyes and his eyes lit up. He asked Xiao Yang to stay.
"Benefactor Xiao Yang, how have you been?" Elder Fo greeted Xiao Yang. Previously, he had met the Rank 5 evil cultivator, Yao Ruo Mo. If it wasn't for Xiao Yang's help, Elder Fo wouldn't be here today.
Xiao Yang was on guard. He smiled and said, "Is Li Xingzong your disciple? I remember you said that you were going back to recuperate. Then you will probably send a disciple to preside over the Martial Sun City Championship. "
He killed Li Xingzong. If Elder Buddha wanted to avenge Li Xingzong, Xiao Yang would be in big trouble. He had to be careful.
Furthermore, Xiao Yang had also sensed that Elder Buddha's cultivation had increased by one level and had reached the sixth level of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. This was terrifying. At the very least, Xiao Yang did not think that he was a match for Elder Buddha. Elder Buddha must have profited from his misfortune.
"That's right, Li Xingzong is my apprentice," said Elder Buddha, not bothering to conceal anything. After explaining the matter, he looked over at Xiao Yang with an enigmatic smile. "That's right. Li Xingzong is my apprentice."
Xiao Yang couldn't help but narrow his eyes and become even more vigilant.
Lan Jiaoye, Li Qinghe, and Chen Zhifu were all insiders. After hearing the conversation, they all used their movement techniques and instantly arrived beside Xiao Yang to confront the Buddhist Pavilion Elder. They would not allow Xiao Yang to be hurt. Moreover, Li Xingzong's death was entirely his own fault. They could not blame Xiao Yang at all.
Following the movement of Lan Jiaoye and the other two, Gu Shanhe, Gu Qianqian, Gu Shanqing, and the others also sensed that something was amiss. They all unleashed their cultivation and rushed over to stand in front of Xiao Yang.
Gu Shanhe explained to Elder Buddha, "My Lords, Xiao Yang and the others have contributed greatly this time. If it weren't for him, countless girls would have been killed and their innocence would not have been restored. The evil Li Family would not have been exposed and hundreds of victims would not have been rescued. Please make a wise decision, my Lords."
In addition, Patriarch Zhao, Patriarch Qian, and the other Patriarchs hesitated for a while before they came forward and explained, "My Lords, Xiao Yang's contribution cannot go unnoticed. Please don't misunderstand!"
The rest of the practitioners and warriors also explained for Xiao Yang, expressing that Xiao Yang was innocent.
From the Happy Red Courtyard, more than a hundred victims walked out and knelt on the ground, expressing their gratitude to Xiao Yang. Then, they pleaded for Xiao Yang.
In addition, from the Zhao Family Mansion, more than a dozen victims walked out and knelt on the ground to plead for Xiao Yang.
From the Lin Family, Ye Family, Sun Family, and more than ten other families' residences, batches of rescued women also walked out to plead for Xiao Yang.
Other than that, from other residences, teahouses, taverns, inns, and other places, many women also walked out to plead for Xiao Yang.
In fact, many of the citizens of Flame City knelt on the ground and begged for mercy for Xiao Yang when they learned of the story of how Xiao Yang had risked his life to save someone and how he had dared to start a war with the Li Family.
These scenes appeared in Xiao Yang's eyes, and he was greatly moved. His heart felt warm, and he felt that everything he had done was worth it.
Lan Jiaoye, Li Qinghe, Chen Zhifu, Gu Shanhe, and the others also revealed smiles. Good people will always be rewarded. Look, so many people approved of him.
When Elder Fo, Elder Jian, and Elder Lei saw this scene, their hearts trembled and their pupils constricted. Although their cultivations were profound and unfathomable, they did not have Xiao Yang's ability to make so many citizens plead for him. This was not something that could be done with cultivation, but with morals and character.
They all sensed that Xiao Yang was not ordinary. Light flickered in their eyes as they fell into deep thought.
If they remembered correctly, Xiao Yang was also someone chosen by the Poison Sect. If they could pull Xiao Yang into their camp, they would be like a tiger that had grown wings. After all, who wouldn't want more talents?
Xiao Yang released the terrifying cultivation of a fourth level Martial Ancestor. A powerful aura enveloped the entire place, and an enormous pressure pressed down on everyone.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yang in confusion.
Then, they heard Xiao Yang say, "Everyone, if it's for the sake of Xiao Yang, please rise."
Everyone was puzzled, but they still did not rise. They did not know what Xiao Yang meant by this.
Xiao Yang continued in a clear voice, "A few days ago, Elder Fo and I met. I killed his disciple, Li Xingzong. Li Xingzong was a person who only cared about profit and could not distinguish right from wrong. During the Hegemony Contest, he attempted to collude with the Wang Family Head to frame me. It was more like he wanted to monopolize the quota to the Poison Sect, so I killed him. I don't think I did anything wrong. Since I did nothing wrong, why should I plead with Elder Fo?"
Everyone felt relieved.
One by one, they stood firmly in Xiao Yang's camp.
Xiao Yang did nothing wrong. The one at fault was Li Xingzong, so Xiao Yang could not be blamed.
If they pleaded on Xiao Yang's behalf, wouldn't they be saying that Xiao Yang was in the wrong?
Xiao Yang continued, "Does a selfish villain like Li Xingzong have the right to preside over the Hegemony Contest? Does he have the right to pick out outstanding disciples for the Poison Sect? So I want to ask Elder Fo, what cards are you playing? What intentions do you have? Why did you raise such a disciple and let him humiliate Martial Sun City? Are you delusional enough to blame me for this? "
Everyone felt that Xiao Yang's words made sense.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.
Li Xingzong deserved to die, so Elder Fo naturally could not escape responsibility.
Thus, Elder Fo had no right to criticize Xiao Yang, the victim. In fact, he should be comforting Xiao Yang.
No one said a word. All eyes fell on Elder Fo. Although they were silent, their dissatisfaction and pleas for justice were clear to see.
Elder Fo couldn't help but laugh.
Setting aside Xiao Yang's kindness, he was well aware of Li Xingzong's character.
He had only wanted to bluff Xiao Yang and see if Xiao Yang would react. He hadn't expected everyone to turn serious.
