In front of the mourning hall, it was the most unexpected and unexpected turn of events.
As soon as Ji Fengming finished her words, the crowd burst into an uproar. Even though the audience was used to being shocked today, they were still stunned by her words.
Mu Zixuan, who was in the center of the storm, was even more so. Seeing that Ji Fengming's halberd was pointing forward, and the person she was pointing at was him, Mu Zixuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heart was filled with astonishment.
"How could this be? Why? Which part went wrong? " Mu Zixuan forced himself to calm down, but the questions kept popping up, making it impossible for him to think calmly. He could only force himself to be calm and delay, "Brother Ji, why do you say that?"
His words had also aroused the doubts of all the sects present. As the leader of the Righteous Sky Alliance, Mu Zixuan had to give a reasonable explanation since Ji Fengming had publicly pointed him out. Therefore, Ji Fengming gave him an explanation, saying, "I didn't tell the Sword Sovereign that my master was at the Golden Whip Crag. I told you that I told the Sword Sovereign that my master was at the Golden Whip Crag. But in fact, I told the Sword Sovereign that my master was at the Picking Clouds Ridge. My master's real location was not at the Morning Sun Peak, nor at the Golden Whip Crag, nor at the Picking Clouds Ridge, but in the Cave of Qingxi Cliff! So, when the Six Realms of Evil Destruction appeared at the Golden Whip Crag, the one who was exposed was not the Sword Emperor, but you! "
The words that sounded like a tongue twister left everyone confused. Only those with a sharp mind could understand, and their hearts were already filled with shock. Soon after, they whispered to each other, passing it on verbally, explaining it to others.
But in Mu Zixuan's ears, it was like thunder. He led Ji Fengming to release false information to the Sword Emperor, but he didn't expect that he was also the target of Ji Fengming's test! One location, two probes, three deceptions, and actually forced him into a perilous situation where he was besieged on all sides.
Seeing that the situation had reversed, all the sects who understood the situation cast their suspicious gazes on him, as if they were facing a great enemy. Mu Zixuan suddenly realized that she had already fallen into the encirclement of all the sects, and the killing formation that she had meticulously prepared for the Sword Emperor had actually been repaid on her. As long as he couldn't give an explanation, his crime of murdering Wei Wushuang would be confirmed. The sects that were originally loyal to him would turn around and attack him instead.
Cold sweat seeped out from the top of his head, but it was evaporated by the restless true energy. Mu Zixuan's heart sank to the bottom of an abyss. All the doubts she had just now turned into nothing. She smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Ji, so you've been suspicious of me for a long time."
Ji Fengming glanced sideways and said, "Ever since the day my master was petrified, I have been suspicious of everyone, including myself."
"Is that so? But — "But Mu Zixuan didn't give up. He was a determined person after all. The more desperate the situation was, the more unwilling he was to give up! Even if he fell into the abyss, he would do his best to grab onto a life-saving straw. Even if he was in a sorry state, he would still struggle to climb out.
Knowing where his flaw was, Mu Zixuan immediately put in all his effort. The great danger forced his brain to work like never before. He pieced together all his past memories and tried to find a glimmer of hope to turn the situation around. Finally, he found it!
"But there's still a flaw in Brother Ji's testimony!" Mu Zixuan's eyes flashed, and she once again regained her composure.
Seeing him calm down so quickly, Ji Fengming said coldly, "Oh, you still have something to say?"
"Brother Ji, don't forget that when you were testing me, I was guarding the Celestial Master Cave for you. Why was I guarding it?" Mu Zixuan pointed a finger at Chu Bainiu. "Because Chu Bainiu was refining medicine in the cave. He could have heard everything you said to me at that time!"
Chu Bainiu did not expect to be criticized again. He immediately shouted angrily, "Nonsense! I was wholeheartedly refining medicine at that time. How could I be distracted at such a critical moment? Moreover, the stone path inside the cave is long and winding. I was the furthest inside, and you were at the door. How could I have heard anything? "
Mu Zixuan sneered and said mockingly, "Wholeheartedly refining medicine? That's not necessarily true. You said that you were already threatened and destined to kill Wei Wushuang. Was there still a need to focus on refining medicine? Since you didn't need to worry about refining medicine, isn't it normal to eavesdrop? "
"Nonsense! I didn't eavesdrop!" Chu Bainiu's face turned red as he loudly argued.
But Mu Zixuan ignored him. After recovering from his initial shock, he had now resumed his aggressive posture. "Of course, it's more likely that you were never threatened from the beginning. You said you had no choice but to use this as an excuse to reduce your punishment. From the beginning, you were Six Paths Evil Destroyer's accomplice!
"You were sent by Six Paths Evil Destroyer to kill the petrified Sect Leader Wei in the name of healing! But that day, after you heard Brother Ji's conversation with me, you came up with another evil plan. So you sent a message to Six Paths Evil Destroyer, asking him to cooperate and attack the Golden Whip Cliff, in order to confirm our suspicions about Senior Sword Emperor and cause internal strife between us. That way, we could eliminate both the Dao Fan and Sword Emperor in one fell swoop. What a good plan!
"But I didn't expect Brother Ji's words to have a hidden meaning. You sent a message to Six Paths Evil Destroyer to attack the Golden Whip Cliff, but in the end, I was wronged because of my ignorance!" Mu Zixuan said one sentence after another. At this point, he bowed to Yue Cangqiong and said with a face full of shame, "Senior Sword Emperor, I was disrespectful just now and was fooled by evil people. Please forgive me!"
Mu Zixuan, who had been targeting Yue Cangqiong just now, actually lowered his head and apologized to Sword Emperor in order to clear his name.
He couldn't suppress Yue Cangqiong in the first place. Now that he had lowered his head in front of everyone, it would be difficult for him to raise his head in front of Sword Emperor in the future.
But he had to go all out!
As long as he could get through this, he didn't care how embarrassing and embarrassing he was!
Yue Cangqiong, who had been watching the show, was now full of mockery. "Alliance Leader, you're the one who said I'm a traitor, and you're also the one who said I was framed. You've really said all the good and bad things!"
Mu Zixuan could only lower his head and bear Yue Cangqiong's sarcasm. At this time, Chu Bainiu said loudly, "That's right. Just now, you framed Sword Emperor, and now you want to frame me. Do you think anyone will believe you?"
Chu Bainiu wasn't as quick-witted as Mu Zixuan. Just now, under Mu Zixuan's rapid barrage of words, he had no chance to interject. Now, he had the chance to say what he had been holding back.
But Mu Zixuan let out a long laugh, as if she had been waiting for him to say this. She stared at Chu Bainiu and said, "Then let's see who everyone will believe. I originally wanted to hide it for you, but now there's no need to hide it anymore. Chu Bainiu, let me ask you, the Animal Path can only transplant the bodies of wild beasts for their own use. In recent years, they have developed a method to transplant the bodies of beasts from the Demon Clan, which greatly increases their combat power. And this method of transplant came from your research, right? "
"Yes, but …" Chu Bainiu was a straightforward person, so he said yes. But when he wanted to say more, he was already interrupted by Mu Zixuan.
"The outside world has been saying that you were imprisoned in the Animal Path before you came to Qing City. But in fact, not only did the Animal Path not imprison you, they even treated you with great respect. You stayed in the Animal Path of your own accord, right?"
"Yes, but I …"
But Mu Zixuan still didn't wait for him to finish and said, "You and the Beast Path's Path Master, Wanshou Chun, are also friends in private, and you've even saved his life before. Moreover, you've even exchanged medical knowledge with each other, am I right?"
"Yes!" Chu Bainiu roared, not allowing Mu Zixuan to continue questioning him. "But what do you know? Do you know how precious the Animal Path's limb transplant technique is, and how unique it is? If it can be researched a step further and applied to medicine, then it will be a great achievement that will benefit the people of the world! "
Chu Bainiu sacrificed his life for the Path of Healing. In his understanding, the battle between humans and demons was just a waste of precious lives, while the research of medical knowledge was immortal as life changed. A change in medical knowledge would affect hundreds of generations and thousands of lives. Compared to this, what was the battle between the good and the evil? That was what he thought, and that was what he said. He even looked at the crowd, hoping to gain approval from the spectating sects. However, he only received suspicious gazes. Those gazes were previously on Yue Cang Qiong, then moved to Mu Zixuan, and now, they were all focused on him.
Mu Zixuan smiled. Chu Bainiu's ambition might be lofty, but … it was too lofty. The spectating sects did not care about how their medical knowledge would benefit the people of the world. They only cared that just now, Chu Bainiu had personally admitted that he had a close relationship with the Animal Path of the Six Paths of Evil Destruction.
The situation had changed once again!
So, Mu Zixuan sneered, "What a good 'benefit the people of the world'! At first, we also believed your words, thinking that you were a benevolent doctor. So, not only did we not pursue your actions in the Animal Path, we even helped you cover it up. We only told the public that you were imprisoned by the Animal Path, and were only rescued half a year ago. But what about you? How did you repay us with your benevolent doctor's heart? "
Seeing that the sects were being incited again, Mu Zixuan, who had already gained the upper hand, turned to look at Ji Fengming and said, "Birdsong, how about it? Do you believe this' Benevolent Doctor 'who killed your Shizun, or me?"
Ji Fengming was also touched when he heard 'Birdsong', a title that only existed between the two of them. His eyelids drooped, as if the past was flashing in his mind. He finally sighed and said, "You and I knew each other when we were young, and we became bosom friends. We went through life and death together. If I have to choose, I will naturally believe you."
"But —" Just as Mu Zixuan was about to sigh in relief, Ji Fengming changed the topic.
"I believe him!" A clear voice suddenly sounded, continuing Ji Fengming's words. At the same time, there was an earth-shattering explosion!
The coffin in the mourning hall spun into the air before it suddenly exploded, causing bits of wood to scatter in all directions. Under the astounded gazes of all present, a peerless and graceful figure descended from the sky and appeared once more in the mortal world!
