Boom boom boom!
Just as Taishi Jue was about to attack, an indescribably strong aura suddenly descended like thunder.
This aura was so strong that it felt like a mountain was pressing down on them. Everyone's bodies shook violently and they couldn't move at all.
From the entrance of the inner mansion, another group of people walked through the air.
There weren't many people in this group, only about 30 of them. There were males and females, young and old.
Su Mo turned his head around and his eyes instantly narrowed. These people were all instructors of the Shenwu Academy.
Instructor Mu Li and Grand Master Huo Yuan were among them. The leader of the group was a scholarly looking scholar. This man was none other than Estate Master Du of the Shenwu Academy.
In the blink of an eye, Estate Master Du had led a group of instructors to the scene and he stopped in the air above the crowd.
"You have gathered so many people, do you still care about the academy's rules?"
Estate Master Du coldly asked as his eyes swept across Su Mo, Gu Tian Yi, Taishi Jue and the rest.
Everyone fell silent. Now that the Estate Master had arrived, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to continue today.
"Taishi Jue, tell me, why are you doing this?" Estate Master Du's gaze fell upon Taishi Jue.
When Taishi Jue heard what Taishi Jue had said, he took a deep breath. He cupped his fists at the Estate Master and said, "Estate Master, Su Mo is inhumane. He has killed dozens of disciples of the Taishi Family Faction and destroyed our shop. He has killed more than 20 of our men.
Estate Master Du nodded his head slightly before he looked at Su Mo and asked, "Su Mo, is Taishi Jue's words true? If you have really committed such a heinous crime, I will not let you off! "
Estate Master Du stared at Su Mo. He was curious about how Su Mo had come back to life after being killed by Wu Lun, but he didn't ask about it.
Su Mo must have had the ability to survive if he was still alive. This was a private matter and he wouldn't ask about it.
Everyone's eyes instantly flashed. It seemed that Estate Master Du wouldn't side with anyone and was going to handle the matter impartially.
"Estate Master, I have indeed killed many people, but I have my reasons for doing so!" Su Mo was neither haughty nor humble as he cupped his fists towards Estate Master Du.
Su Mo respected the Estate Master. The last time Grand Priest Wu Lun came to Shenwu Academy, the Estate Master did not hand him over because he was worried about offending the Sorcerer Tribe.
Of course, this might also have something to do with Grand Master Huoyuan, but no matter what, he was a qualified Prefecture Head.
"What is the reason?" Estate Master Du asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, all the surrounding Shenwu Academy disciples were intrigued. They wanted to hear Su Mo's reason for doing so.
Gu Tian Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that Su Mo had a reason. Otherwise, if the Estate Leader punished Su Mo, he would not be able to save him.
Su Mo took in a deep breath as he stared at Estate Master Du and slowly said, "A month ago, Taishi Jue sent Ji Feng and nine other disciples to surround me in a small town in the south. I fought back and killed Ji Feng and the other disciples!"
"Some time ago, when I went out to train, Taishi Jue sent Mountain Demon to follow me. I saw through it and killed Mountain Demon."
"Two days ago, on my way back to the academy, Taishi Lin and 10 other martial artists tried to kill me again."
"Faced with an ambush, I couldn't sit still and wait for death. Thus, I killed the other 10 martial artists and chased after Taishi Lin."
"Taishi Lin was cunning and he escaped to Guan Ning City's Taishi Shop. He tried to use the Taishi Family martial artists in Taishi Shop to kill me!"
"However, they were not as strong as me and I killed them all."
"In the end, I chased after Taishi Lin all the way back to Shenwu Academy!"
Su Mo did not stop and told him everything that had happened in one breath.
Because he had searched Mountain Demon's memory, he knew the names of Ji Feng and the other disciples as well as Taishi Jue's plot.
The crowd was shocked. Taishi Jue had sent people to kill Su Mo multiple times but Su Mo had killed them all. This was too shocking!
"Nonsense!"
When Taishi Jue heard what Taishi Jue had said, he immediately yelled, "Estate Master, Su Mo is spouting nonsense. I have never sent anyone to kill him. Everything he has said is nonsense. This man is bloodthirsty and he loves to kill others for their treasures. Estate Master, you must not believe him!"
"That's right, Estate Master Du, I can testify that Su Mo is lying!"
Taishi Lin opened his mouth and said angrily, "10 disciples of the Taishi Family Faction and I were going to an ancient place to search for treasures. Who knew that we would meet Su Mo on the way. Without saying a word, Su Mo attacked us. The other 10 died and I was the only one who managed to escape!"
Taishi Lin was full of nonsense. He naturally wouldn't admit that he had gone to kill Su Mo. Although it would be embarrassing for him to admit that he had been chased by Su Mo, he couldn't care less about it now.
At that moment, no one knew who was lying between Su Mo, Taishi Jue, and Taishi Lin.
However, one of them was lying. That was a fact.
Estate Master Du's face was calm and expressionless. His gaze lingered on Su Mo for a while before it fell on Taishi Jue and Taishi Lin.
As an End Realm Martial Sage, no lies could escape his eyes and he knew what was going on.
However, even if he knew that Taishi Lin and Taishi Jue were lying, he couldn't punish them on the spot.
Firstly, Taishi Lin wasn't a disciple of Shenwu Academy. He was a member of the Taishi Family and it wouldn't be easy to deal with him.
Secondly, although Taishi Jue had sent people to kill Su Mo, he was the one who had suffered losses. If he was punished, the entire Taishi Family Faction would be unhappy.
As the Estate Master of Shenwu Academy, Estate Master Du's main task was to comfort the disciples and not to deepen the feud between the two factions.
After a moment of silence, Estate Master Du looked at Su Mo and Taishi Jue and said, "Today's matter ends here. I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Estate Master!"
"Estate Master!"
Right at that moment, Su Mo and Taishi Jue spoke at the same time as they cupped their fists towards Estate Master Du.
"What else do you have to say?" Estate Master Du asked.
Taishi Lin and Su Mo looked at each other and killing intent flashed across their eyes. Taishi Lin was the first to speak, "Su Mo has killed so many people from my faction. He has to pay the price today!"
Taishi Jue wasn't willing to let the matter rest. If he didn't kill Su Mo today, he wouldn't be able to quell the anger in his heart.
Estate Master Du nodded his head slightly before he looked at Su Mo and waited for him to speak.
"Estate Master, Taishi Jue has sent people to kill me time and time again. He has to pay the price as well!" Su Mo's eyes met Taishi Jue's and they were filled with killing intent.
The anger in Su Mo's heart wasn't any less than Taishi Jue's. No matter who it was, he wouldn't be able to take the matter lying down.
All the surrounding disciples were shocked. Taishi Jue and Su Mo were really stubborn. Even though Estate Master Du had spoken, the two of them still weren't willing to let the matter rest!
Su Mo and Taishi Jue stared intently at each other. Like a needle against an awn, neither of them wanted to back down.
