The Heavenly Sword Hall was not far from the Technique Inheritance Courtyard. When Chang Maochun of the Star House got the news, he was treating Xu Longshou's injuries. For this disciple whose real name had been destroyed, he had racked his brains, but he could not change his fate and recast his real name. There was no precedent for him to recast his real name. Now, he was just barely keeping his life.
After some exercise, Xu Longshou's complexion recovered a little, and his crooked neck straightened a little. He did not look so scary.
"Yan Li, that little bastard, is really sinister. He hid a first-class sword master and hurt you like this!" Chang Maochun gritted his teeth and sat down. He took the fragrant tea offered by his disciple. The mist of the tea reflected a ferocious face. This face was no longer young. The wrinkles on his forehead and crow's feet were very deep. However, it also symbolized his deep-rooted position in the Court Of Sword.
"Master, I'm in so much pain … Everyone looks at me like they're looking at a monster. Even my parents don't dare to recognize me …" Xu Longshou hugged Chang Maochun's knees and knelt down. He cried bitterly, "Master, I'd rather die … just die …"
"Bastard," Chang Maochun scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is your brain eaten by a dog? If you die, that little bastard will only clap his hands and celebrate. You don't even want to take revenge. Why should I take you in? If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have brought you out of your home. You're a disgrace to me! "
Seeing Xu Longshou's tears, Chang Maochun seemed to feel sorry for him. He softened his tone a little, "That bastard is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. Not only him, but everyone is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself and when you'll die. You used to have a third-class real name. Countless people fawned over you. Now that you've tasted the feeling of falling into the abyss, you should know that it's not easy to climb back up. But if you climb back up, Long Shou, if you climb back up, nothing in this world can stop you! Long Shou, remember, as long as you don't die, you will definitely find an opportunity. Master will never let you close your eyes like this! "
Xu Longshou was once again injected with vitality, and the breath in his heart rose. His face gradually became ferocious. "Yes, disciple will remember. Disciple wants him dead, and he must die a horrible death!"
"That's right." Chang Maochun said with a gratified smile, "But we can't be anxious. He has a first-class sword master, which is no small matter. We can't leave anything behind, or Su Xiaojian will fight us to the death. When that evil creature goes crazy, he won't even recognize his own family. There's no need for us to confront him head-on. "
"I will live well and see how he dies!" Xu Longshou gritted his teeth.
"Good. As my disciple, that's what you should do."
"Elder, Elder, bad news!"
A disciple hurriedly ran in to report, "The disciples of Kunlun are here, saying that they want to invite Yan Li to the Demon-Buster Conference with them. The Sect Master is wary of Su Beike and did not insist on it. I'm afraid he's about to be persuaded."
"What?" Chang Maochun suddenly stood up.
Xu Longshou was shaken off, and he sat on the ground. Stunned, he gritted his teeth and said, "This won't do, Master. He is a first-class sword master, just like Bai Kongxue back then. If he goes to Guangwei Forest and obtains the Great White Sword Sutra, he will be even harder to deal with!"
Chang Maochun looked at the reporting disciple and said, "Did Long Hua send you?"
"Yes," the disciple said.
"Have you informed the Law Enforcement Bureau?" Chang Maochun asked.
"On the way here, I've already sent someone," the disciple said.
Chang Maochun nodded and said, "Good, you've done well. Go and invite Xia Xiangkun to the Heavenly Sword Hall immediately. I'll be there shortly."
"Yes." The disciple left immediately.
Xu Longshou was puzzled. "Master, why didn't you bring Xia Xiangkun out earlier?"
"It's a good chance to teach you a lesson," Chang Maochun said lightly. "Hit a snake where it hurts, or it will bite you back. If you had brought Xia Xiangkun out earlier, he would have been imprisoned for a few more years. He had originally wanted to grab hold of his fatal weakness, only letting him out when Su Xiaojian was unable to protect him, dealing the final fatal blow. Now, however, he had no choice but to use it in advance. You wait here. "
… …
The Heavenly Sword Hall.
"Over ten thousand?" Guan Shanhai's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yan Li did it?"
"Yes," Xu Longhua said.
Liumu Bingjian said, "Why didn't senior apprentice-brother Xu mention this earlier? If I hadn't come to invite him, would this matter have been concealed?"
"That's right," Guan Shanhai said unhappily, "Over ten thousand lives are not livestock. You dare to hide this from me?"
Xu Longhua cupped his fists and lowered his head, "Alright, Chief knows that this matter is still being investigated. It is of great importance and must be investigated thoroughly before I dare to report it to Chief. Apart from that, many recent cases of sects being massacred in the Human Realm are also related to junior apprentice-brother Yan, but no evidence has been found yet. "
Liumu Bingjian couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said to Ye Qinglan, "Chief Ye, I didn't know that the Court Of Sword is also in charge of murder cases in the Human Realm."
"I didn't know either," Ye Qinglan said lightly.
Xu Longhua said, "Since it was done by a disciple of our sect, even if it is not related, it has become important. Moreover, the Nine Greats are responsible for maintaining the peace and stability of the Three Realms. The Court Of Sword cannot absolve itself from the blame if the Human Realm is in turmoil …" He looked at Liumu Bingjian, "Lady Bingjian, your Kunlun Sect cannot stay out of this matter either."
"That makes sense," Liumu Bingjian nodded in agreement.
Xu Longhua then retracted his gaze and continued to say to Guan Shanhai, "Junior apprentice-brother Yan has carried so many lives on his back. He is no different from those demons of the Devil Realm. If we send him to the Devil Sweeping Conference, I'm afraid it will be very inappropriate."
Ye Qinglan said, "You said that he killed over ten thousand people? Do you have any evidence? "
"There is a survivor in the Tianyi Sword Pavilion," Xu Longhua said, "His name is Xia Xiangkun. He is a distant relative of my master. It was he who came to us to complain about the injustice. Why don't we invite junior apprentice-brother Yan and Xia Xiangkun to come here and testify? "
Guan Shanhai looked at Ye Qinglan and said, "Junior apprentice-sister Lan, what do you think?"
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and said, "Senior apprentice-brother, why ask me? You decide."
"Then let's bring them here and ask them," Guan Shanhai said.
Soon, the two parties were brought to the Heavenly Sword Palace and stood down.
Chang Maochun led Xia Xiangkun and cupped his fists to Guan Shanhai, saying, "Leader, Xiangkun is related to me. Seriously speaking, I am his distant uncle. So, no matter what, I have to do justice for him."
Xia Xiangkun glanced at Yan Li who was a few steps away, took two steps forward and knelt down. Half of his body was prostrated on the ground, and he said in a trembling voice, "I, Xia Xiangkun, pay my respects to True Monarch Shanhai … I beg …" When he said the word "beg", he couldn't help crying, "This man … Yan Shifang, he killed all the people in the Tianyi Sword Pavilion … True Monarch, please avenge the ten thousand people who died tragically …"
His hair was disheveled, and many strands of silver could be seen peeking out from the darkness. His entire body was trembling, and one could clearly feel the deep pain of a fifty year old man who had lost his loved ones.
Yan Li bowed to Guan Shanhai, and his eyes fell on Liumu Bingjian vaguely. The latter shook her head with a bitter smile, indicating that she didn't know why things had developed to this point. Hearing Xia Xiangkun's words, his expression was very calm, and he stood there quietly without saying a word.
Guan Shanhai looked at Yan Li and then at Xia Xiangkun on the ground, saying, "Xia Xiangkun, just tell me how Yan Li slaughtered your Tianyi Sword Pavilion and why he did it. If what you said is true, I will not be partial to anyone."
Xia Xiangkun cried for a while and calmed down. Then he straightened up and said slowly. "Yes. What happened was truly unexpected by this lowly one. That was before Yan Shifang had joined the Sword Court. He went to the Heavenly Capital to attend the examination and got into an argument with my son, Xia Wanli. When he was verifying his identity, he actually … "
He patted his chest with his fist as if he couldn't breathe. After a while, he continued in a voice full of hatred and pain, "He used his real name to make Wanli fall from a high place. He couldn't even keep his body intact …"
Xu Longhua secretly clenched his teeth and stared at Yan Li coldly, "That's right. This Junior Brother Yan of mine is used to oppressing people with his real name. My younger brother only played a joke on him, and he was destroyed by him. If it weren't for my master using his True Essence to cleanse his bones every day, he would have long lost his human form, and wouldn't have the courage to continue living."
Ye Qinglan laughed disdainfully and said, "You asked for it. How dare you say that?"
"Well, what's the point of saying this?" Guan Shanhai glanced at Xu Longhua unhappily and said to Xia Xiangkun, "Go on."
Xia Xiangkun continued, "The imperial court didn't dare to offend the Court Of Sword and insisted that it was within the rules. But I had no way to reason with him … Later, I heard that Yan Shifang had passed the Four Levels. I thought the Court Of Sword wouldn't punish him for the life of a nonentity. Besides, there were other disciples in the Sword Pavilion, so I didn't dare to take the risk and had to swallow my anger. But I didn't expect that he wouldn't let me go …"
His eyes were full of hatred and he stared at Yan Li, saying, "Several months ago, he came to the Tianyi Sword Pavilion with Yan Shiyi and insisted that I colluded with the Damned Gang to deal with Swallow Dock. I lost my beloved son and haven't stepped out of the Sword Pavilion for more than a year. But he came to bully me. As the Sect Master, I couldn't bear it anymore and fought with them … Later, I couldn't defeat Yan Shiyi, he …"
Pointing at Yan Li, he gnashed his teeth and said word by word, "He ordered people to kill everyone in the Tianyi Sword Pavilion, including the old, the weak, the women, and the children!"
"Yan Li," Guan Shanhai slapped the armrest of the rosewood chair and said angrily, "Is what he said true?"
Yan Li cupped his hands to Guan Shanhai and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xia Xiangkun, "If any of what I said is false, I'll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Bang!
Suddenly, there was another louder slap on the armrest, which rumbled in the hall. In an instant, everything in the hall seemed to be injected with a soul and began to buzz.
Xu Longhua only felt that there were countless sharp lights flowing around him, and his hair stood on end. He couldn't help but change his expression.
Guan Shanhai looked at Ye Qinglan in surprise, "Junior Sister Lan, what are you doing?"
The vehemence on Xia Xiangkun's face disappeared, and he looked at Ye Qinglan with fear.
Ye Qinglan said expressionlessly, "Even if we have to go to court, we should give both parties time to make their statements. Xia Xiangkun, do you want us to skip the interrogation and directly convict Yan Li?"
