"That's it …" Xu Longxiang spat out all the fabricated words and breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Yang Qiusheng's sudden arrival and Feng Jiu's strong pressure, he might have really spat out the truth. At that time, he would have been doomed eternally. All this was thanks to the foresight of his master, Chang Maochun. He looked at Chang Maochun gratefully.
Chang Maochun just nodded slightly. Although his expression didn't change, it showed his approval.
No one noticed the subtle tacit understanding between the master and the disciple. Yang Qiusheng continued to ask, "If what you said is true, this Yan Li claimed to be a real villain in the interview, but I didn't expect that he would say one thing in front of him and another behind his back. Calling him a villain is an insult to the word villain. He is even worse than a hypocrite, which is despicable. But Longxiang, can you swear that everything you said is true? Can you take all the responsibility for it? "
Xu Longxiang's heart trembled. He didn't understand why Yang Qiusheng wanted to complicate the issue at this time. Originally, he didn't need to swear an oath, but now that he said it, if he didn't swear, then the excuse he made up just now would be completely untenable. Looking into Yang Qiusheng's eyes, he quickly understood the deeper meaning behind it. If he swore an oath, then even if there were any problems in the future, it would have nothing to do with Yang Qiusheng. He cursed the old fox in his heart, but there was no other way. He immediately said sternly, "I swear that everything I said is true, and I am willing to bear all the responsibility!"
Yang Qiusheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the crowd, "The suspicious points of the matter are clear. With the Shadow-Retaining Ball, it is irrefutable evidence. As the dean of the Law Enforcement Institution, I can't just sit back and do nothing. The articles will be added later. Now I order all members of the Thunder, Rain, and Red Tribes to go to the Mortal World immediately, destroy Swallow Fort, and bring back Yan Li's head to pay tribute to Flamy's soul in heaven!"
"Yes!" The people in the square were frantically mobilized.
Except for the war with the Devil Clan, the four armies of the Tianjian Peak had never been mobilized at the same time. If the three armies went to the Mortal World, it would definitely be a situation where they would fight to the death.
"Wait!"
Under the Sword Realm, everyone's movements became difficult.
"Eldest Senior Brother?" They looked at Feng Jiu in shock.
Xu Longxiang asked in a sharp voice, "Eldest Senior Brother, you still want to protect that bastard Yan Li at this time?" Following his question, everyone's eyes were filled with doubt. What Wu Qi was worried about had happened.
Among the four divisions of Heaven, Thunder, Rain, and Red, only the Heaven Division was directly under Feng Jiu, and they never doubted his orders. If the members of the Heaven Division were present at this moment, the atmosphere against Feng Jiu would not be so intense, so that Xu Longxiang's question could lead people to the wrong side.
Chang Maochun was amazed by Yang Qiusheng's wrist. He didn't show it on the surface, but he was secretly on guard.
"Do you believe me?" Feng Jiu said slowly in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at each other, and someone in the class stood out and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, you are a magnanimous person, love your fellow sect members, have a fair heart, and are moral. After so many years, we have all seen it with our own eyes. If you want to say whether we believe you or not, we definitely believe you." Everyone looked over and saw that the one who spoke was the leader of the Rain Division, Yu Huatian.
Yu Huatian still looked flashy, wearing a white feather satin robe. He was obviously a sword cultivator, but he was waving a feather fan there. His tone was very serious, "However, if you still want to protect Yan Li, then you are in the wrong. You have to consider the feelings of the Thunder Division, right? If you want us to believe you, then please give us a reason that can convince us.
Let's do it. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded and looked at Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu raised his head so that no one could see his eyes, "When Lei Yan entered the sect, he was already twenty-seven years old. In his eyes, I was just a child, but he never looked down on me or belittled me. When I was not mature enough, he gave me great support. We killed demons together, cleaned the hunting grounds together, drank wine and ate meat together, and talked about life and ideals. I told him that the person I admired the most was Master. I wanted to be like Master, to turn the Court Of Sword into a big family that could shelter you all from the wind and rain. I wanted to unite everyone together, and not let anyone bully or look down on us. He told me that he would always be by my side to support me … Most of the time, he was the one taking care of me. Who do you think would be the most sad when he died?"
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Everyone's eyes were red. Many of the Thunder Division's members started to cry.
Chang Maochun said anxiously, "Little Nine, what's the use of saying this now? Lei Yan can't come back to life. It's more important to arrange for the Lower Bound to kill the traitor! "
"Elder Chang, let's listen to Eldest Senior Brother." Yu Huatian sighed. "Lei Yan is dead. Eldest Senior Brother must be the most sad one. We all know that sometimes, they are as close as real brothers."
"Eldest Senior Brother, tell us what to do. We will listen to you!"
"Please give us the order, Eldest Senior Brother!"
Feng Jiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "At least let me avenge Lei Yan with my own hands! Now, in the name of the Acting Headmaster, the Thunder Division will stay to take care of Lei Yan's funeral. All the members of the Rain Division and the Red Division will follow me to the Lower Bound! Yu Huatian, Zhao Gongling, you have one hour to prepare. We will set up the 'Nine Heavens Flying Star Formation'! "
"Yes."
"Long live Eldest Senior Brother!" The crowd was excited, and their cheers spread like a tsunami.
On the other hand, Cao Zigu, who was watching from the side, had a terrible look on his face. He hurriedly ran back and said to the people of Cangjian Peak who were still eating hotpot, "Bad news, bad news. Eldest Senior Brother is going to bring the Rain Division and the Red Division to the Lower Bound to kill Yan Li!"
"What?" Cao Zijun jumped up as if his butt was on fire. "Brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would Little Jiu do such a thing? "
Cao Zigu immediately told them about Lei Yan's death, Xu Longxiang's testimony, and the Shadow Sphere. Everyone looked at him with pale faces. They couldn't believe it and were speechless.
"That's impossible! Yan Li isn't such a vicious person! " Cao Zijun murmured, "Lei Yan didn't have a deep grudge with him, and Little Jiu arrived on time that night. Yan Li isn't the kind of person who would say one thing to someone's face and another behind their back!"
Lu Fengxin said sternly, "How do you know he isn't? What if he is? It's not like the Peak Lord didn't judge the wrong person. With the Shadow Sphere, it's already irrefutable evidence. This time, no one can save him! "
Luo Fangshuo's face paled. "'Nine Heavens Flying Stars' is equivalent to the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword. It's much faster than a ship. We definitely won't be able to notify them in time. What should we do?"
"What should we do?" Lu Fengxin's fiery temper was ignited. She slammed the table and stood up. "You haven't learned anything after so many years. Are you stupid? That bastard is one thing in front of us and another behind our backs. It's just a little offense, and he's already harboring hatred in his heart. He's killing a fellow disciple. The Peak Lord died for nothing, the Cangjian Peak suffered for nothing, and all our years of hard work has gone to waste! You're still asking what should we do? Let him die earlier! "
"What if he isn't?" No one expected that it was Su Xiaorong who said that.
"Xiao Rong, are you alright?" Lu Fengxin used her hand to feel Su Xiaorong's temperature. "That bastard indirectly killed the Peak Lord. Don't you hate him at all?"
Su Xiaorong pushed Lu Fengxin's hand away and said seriously, "That's a different matter. Before the investigation is completed, it's irresponsible of Elder Lu to say something like this. I don't care about Yan Li's character. There's still something fishy about the truth. That's all. "
Lu Fengxin said, "What else is fishy about it?"
Su Xiaorong said, "Yan Li is a meticulous person. After killing someone, he would never leave the corpse for others to investigate. If I were him, I would chop up the corpse and throw it into the sea to feed the fishes. The chance of Xu Longxiang escaping alive is very small. But he did. Don't you have any doubts?"
Hearing the woman who calmly said 'chop up the corpse and feed it to the fishes', everyone broke out in cold sweat.
"That's right!" Cao Zijun clapped his hands and said, "Yan Li even destroyed the Five Elements Court. How could he be so stupid as to leave the corpse for others to investigate?"
Cao Zigu said excitedly, "Haven't there been a lot of Junior Brother Yan's masks appearing in the Pugilistic World recently? Someone must be trying to frame him! I'll go find Senior Brother now! "
"No!" Huang Chengyan hurriedly pulled him back, "Senior Brother's mind has been clouded by his killing intent. Senior Brother Lei's death is a very deep wound. This is only our subjective deduction. There is no way we can use our suspicions as evidence. If you go find him like this, you will definitely suffer. Moreover, with the Disciplinary Court's interference, our Cangjian Peak still has a stain on our name. If we don't handle this properly, we will lose everything. We must think of a way to help Junior Brother Yan."
"What way?" Cao Zigu was extremely anxious, "Little Yan, tell us quickly. What way?"
Huang Chengyan racked his brains and thought for a while. Then, he smiled bitterly, "I can't think of anything right now …"
Just as everyone was at their wits' end, Su Xiaorong suddenly said, "I have an idea. It just depends on whether you are willing or not."
"Tell us quickly!" Luo Fangshuo was also very anxious, urging Su Xiaorong. Everyone looked at her, and she said, "Little Jiu can't think right now, so let's give him time to calm down. We'll send someone to the Lower Domain to inform Yan Li, so that he can hide first. It'll be best if we can find the real killer of Lei Yan. Although the 'Nine Heavens Flying Star Formation' can carry tens of thousands of people, its speed should be slightly slower than Ah Bu's. "
Everyone turned to look at Abu. Abu whimpered, "Leave it to me."
"No way!" Cao Zigu said anxiously, "That Yang Qiusheng is afraid that we will go down to the Lower Worlds and tell on him. He has sent people from the Heavenly Division to seal the mountain. Ah Bu alone will not be able to break through!"
Su Xiaorong said, "So it depends on whether you are willing to open a path for Yan Li."
"You mean to force our way through the formation?" Huang Chengyan was surprised.
"That won't do!" Lu Fengxin objected decisively. "I don't agree. Do you know the consequences of openly defying the Disciplinary Court? At least we will be locked in the Sword Prison for ten years. If we all become prisoners, Cangjian Peak will only exist in name! I will never agree to this! "
The room fell silent.
After a long time, Cao Zijun said to Su Xiaorong, "What about you, Xiao Rong? What do you think? Are you going to entrust the future of Cangjian Peak to the fact that Yan Li did not kill anyone? Or give up … "
