The great roc circled the skies of Dragon Order City, causing a huge panic. Then, it stopped above Yan Li and the others. The rain within a radius of over five kilometers was cut off. Tens of thousands of sword cultivators could be seen standing on their flying swords, with Feng Jiu in the center. Thunder of the Nine Heavens was beneath his feet. Between the clouds and dragons, tens of thousands of branches extended out, connecting the flying swords of tens of thousands of sword cultivators, allowing them to fly. Zhao Gongling and Yu Huatian stood on either side of Feng Jiu, looking down coldly.
The sword-lights of different colors but of the same origin reflected Luo Fangshuo's pale face. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Yan Li did not flee.
"Eldest apprentice-brother, junior apprentice-brother Yan is innocent. This is a trap!" Luo Fangshuo hurriedly ran to the courtyard, kneeling before Feng Jiu and begging, "For the sake of Little Sword, Peak Lord, please spare him!"
"Yan Li, come out and die!" Zhao Gongling, who was standing next to Feng Jiu, let out a fierce shout. He was about thirty years old, with a curly beard and peach blossom eyes. The might of the leader of the First Division was like the suppression of the Mountains and Seas. Within Dragon Order City, he anxiously announced the order, like a decree from the gods.
Li Xiang Jun's palms were sweaty as she secretly pinched the Heaven of Linglong. Seeing Yan Li stand up and walk out, she hurriedly pulled him back, "Young Master, don't go!" She bit her lip and shook her head, staring at Yan Li, "Just treat it as if it's for us, alright?"
Yan Li hugged the beauty lightly, "I'm going because of you. Everyone dies, and everything can be solved. " After saying so, he let go and walked to the courtyard, cupping his fists towards the sky, "Eldest apprentice-brother, senior apprentice-brother Yu, senior apprentice-brother Zhao, I, Yan Li, have a lowly life, and my death is not to be regretted. But you should at least let me know why you all came here with such murderous intent."
Zhao Gongling shouted, "You dog, still playing dumb. Xu Longxiang has exposed all your two-faced actions. With the Shadow Sphere as evidence, you can't deny it even if you want to. You finally have some sense of responsibility. You didn't listen to that sinner, Luo Fangshuo, and escaped alone. Otherwise, everyone related to you will all die! Men, capture Luo Fangshuo and bring him back to the Disciplinary Council for interrogation! "
Luo Fangshuo was scared silly, paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
"Wait!" Yan Li moved to stop him. "I don't think I'm guilty. Why should I run away? Brother Luo must have committed the crime of informing on me, but if I'm innocent, doesn't that mean he's not guilty? Let me guess how Xu Longxiang is going to frame me. He is such a despicable and shameless idiot who can't tell right from wrong. He must have accused me of killing a fellow disciple. That's why Eldest Martial Brother is so angry. But a criminal in court still has a chance to defend himself. Dare I ask Eldest Martial Brother, don't I, Yan Li, even have a chance to defend myself? "
"Eldest Senior Brother, this bastard has a glib tongue. You mustn't be bewitched by him!" Zhao Gongling quickly advised.
Yu Huatian waved his feather fan and said with a smile, "Seeing that he didn't run away, what's wrong with listening to him and saying a few words? Do you think you can distort the truth with just a few words?"
Deep in Feng Jiu's heart, he also didn't want Yan Li to be the murderer. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Speak."
Yan Li gestured for Li Xiang Jun to support Luo Fangshuo to the back. Then he said, "Eldest Martial Brother didn't refute me, so I guess I'm right. If I really killed a fellow disciple, a life for a life is a matter of course. To make Eldest Martial Brother so angry, the situation must be very disadvantageous to me. But what if I'm innocent? Today, I can offer my life with both hands. But if the truth is revealed in the future, Eldest Martial Brother will live in self-blame for the rest of his life. This is what I don't want to see. "
Zhao Gongling sneered and said, "Listen, this bastard has a lot of knowledge in his words.
In order to advance, he 'pretends' to think for others, but in fact, he's fighting for a chance to live. Do you believe it? In any case, I don't believe it! Eldest Martial Brother, what are you hesitating for? Let me take his head and bring it back as a sacrifice to Senior Martial Brother Lei! "
Yu Huatian slowly touched the sword at his waist. "Yan Li, if you can't prove your innocence, then forgive me for offending you."
The biting cold murderous aura turned into a strong wind and attacked Yan Li, loosening his hair bun. A strand of hair fell down, coincidentally dyed with frost. Under the reflection of the sword light, it was indescribably vicissitudes of life.
Feng Jiu suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked Zhao Gongling and Yu Huatian. "Listen to him!"
"Eldest Martial Brother!" The two looked at Feng Jiu in astonishment. Feng Jiu softly spat out a word with an unclear intonation. "My words don't work?" The two felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly lowered their heads. "Understood."
Yan Li said, "I hope to get a chance to confront Xu Longxiang face to face!"
Zhao Gongling shuddered and said angrily, "You dog, you're dreaming! If the Yu and Chi Tribes can't get your head back, I, Zhao Gongling, won't be able to stay in the Immortal Realm anymore! "
Yu Huatian also frowned. "Yan Li, I've already said that if you can't prove your innocence, we won't let you go."
"Eldest Martial Brother!" The three of them looked at Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu stared at Yan Li for a long time and suddenly said, "I'll ask you this once. Did you kill Lei Yan?"
"No!" Yan Li's heart shook and he blurted out. He guessed that an important member of his sect had died, but he didn't expect it to be the leader of the Thunder Tribe. He then thought about how Feng Jiu didn't bring any members of the Thunder Tribe to the Immortal Realm because he wanted to give him a chance to speak. Clearly, he wasn't really blinded by the murderous intent. This trust was very heavy.
"Bring him back and interrogate the seven tribes together!" Feng Jiu made the final decision.
Zhao Gongling was stunned. "Eldest Martial Brother, are you confused? We came to the Immortal Realm to kill people, not to capture people! If we can't get Yan Li's head back, will the people of the Thunder Tribe let us go? "
Feng Jiu just stared at Zhao Gongling coldly. Zhao Gongling immediately shuddered and gritted his teeth. "Fine. You are the eldest martial brother. You have the final say. But I don't care what happens next!"
Under Feng Jiu's order, Yan Li and Luo Fangshuo were escorted back to the Court Of Sword to be interrogated by the seven tribes together.
A large number of disciples gathered outside the square of the Heavenly Sword Peak, especially the members of the Thunder Tribe. After knowing that Feng Jiu brought back a living person instead of a head, they all felt cheated. But they weren't qualified to enter the Hall of Law Enforcement, so they couldn't question Feng Jiu face to face. Thus, the seeds of dissatisfaction were sown.
The Great Hall of the Heavenly Sword Peak had been changed into the Hall of Law Enforcement. Feng Jiu and Yang Qiusheng sat at the head of the table. Regardless of seniority, as the acting leader, it was not strange that Feng Jiu sat at the same level as the Dean of the Hall of Law Enforcement. The other five Chiefs sat on the left and right respectively. The acting Peak Lord of the Cangjian Peak was Cao Zijun, but he was imprisoned by the Hall of Law Enforcement, so he couldn't be here. In addition, some people who were qualified to observe in the hall stood behind their chairs, such as Chang Maochun, the Elder of the Training Institute. Although the Heavenly Sword Peak was the leader of the seven tribes, the Elders were not qualified to sit with the Chiefs.
The atmosphere was solemn, but malice was everywhere. Yan Li felt it when he stepped into the hall. Seeing the old man beside Feng Jiu, he knew that he must be Yang Qiusheng. They saluted one by one. When it was Ye Qinglan's turn, he paused and tried to see something from her expression.
But Ye Qinglan's expression showed nothing. She just nodded to him slightly. Yan Li couldn't feel any kindness from her, so he didn't know what it meant. He was not familiar with the other Chiefs, so he had nothing to say. Then he saw Yu Qiuyu, who stood beside Chang Maochun and also nodded to him. Yan Li knew that it was a positive nod, so the coldness in his heart was slightly reduced.
"On my way here, I saw white silk everywhere, so I knew that Senior Brother Lei had died. I also heard something about the process." He broke the silence first.
"Shut up!" Chang Maochun shouted, "This is the Hall of Law Enforcement. The Dean didn't say anything. Who gave you the chance to speak?"
Yang Qiusheng said with a smile, "Everyone has the right to speak, which can't be taken away. I heard that you want to confront Long Xiang face to face? In front of the acting headmaster and the Chiefs, just say what you want to say. As long as you are innocent, I will help you. "
Xu Longxiang came out with a crutch and stared at Yan Li with hatred. "Murderer, how dare you show up!"
Yan Li squinted at him and didn't pay attention to him anymore. "Senior Brother Lei went to the Mortal World to carry out the order of the Hall of Law Enforcement to clean up the sect, but was stopped by the First Brother, so he went back. The First Brother stayed in the Dragon Order City for one night, but arrived seven days earlier than them. I have a question. Except for the two days of purchasing, why was Senior Brother Xu late for at least five days? What did you do in these five days? "
Xu Longxiang said coldly, "I was seriously injured by you, so I had to find a place to recuperate. It took me five days to move. Then I found a boat full of people and collected the body! You didn't expect me to be alive, did you? Here is the evidence of your murder, and you still dare to come back to confront me. You are asking to be humiliated! " As he said this, he took out the Shadow Sphere and injected his vital Qi into it. The image of Yan Li's murder appeared vaguely. Although it only lasted for two breaths, the faces of Yan Li and Lei Yan were clearly shown.
It was the first time the five Chiefs saw it. They looked at each other with different expressions, but didn't say anything.
Yan Li took out a few masks and gave them to Feng Jiu and the others. They took the masks and put them on their faces. Suddenly, there were many Yan Li's in the Hall of Law Enforcement. "The person who took the photos was very smart. He let people recognize me, but didn't let people identify me carefully. These masks can't prove that I am innocent, but at least there is a possibility that I was framed."
Xu Longxiang said, "This is obviously an excuse you made up long ago."
Yan Li said, "It could also be evidence that you made up long ago."
Xu Longxiang was furious. He limped forward and grabbed Yan Li's collar. "What reason do I have to harm Senior Brother Lei? He took good care of me, and I treated him like a real brother. How could I harm my own brother? But you are different! "
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
Xu Longxiang laughed fiercely. "Let me tell you how you are different! Although I was the one who captured your little maidservant, and I was also the one who threatened you, Senior Brother Lei sat back and did nothing. You thought that he was an accomplice. After that, the little maidservant was taken hostage by Jiang Mingcheng, and you were threatened to stab yourself a few times. You transferred all your resentment to us. You hated us, so you brought people to the Nine Heavens Hanging River to kill us! You two-faced bastard, you still dare to clamor to confront me! "
Yang Qiusheng said, "If that's the case, you did have a motive to kill. However, I was the one who gave the order to clean up the sect. Yan Li, if you really killed because of this, you killed the wrong person. "
