The Sect Master indicated that Bai Cai should not support him and slowly took two steps forward. Separated by those several dozen bright sword glows, he gazed at those once-familiar senior brothers, those somewhat familiar disciples, and those experts from the Longevity Sect and the Qiushan clan. The corners of his lips slowly perked up into a mocking smile.
"For ten thousand autumns."
"The confluence of the north and south."
"For the human world."
"To resist the demons."
These four words were spoken with a mocking smile, yet they were so bright and dignified. In this way, even the brightest and most dignified words or reasons should all be mocked. Because these were all excuses.
"Was it the Pope or the Divine Empress … that promised you these benefits?" The Sect Master's gaze slowly moved over Xiao Songgong and the two Discipline Hall elders, ultimately resting on the Qiushan clan head.
The Qiushan clan head slightly lowered his head in greeting, silently smiling. It was like he had no idea what sort of tense situation he was in.
"Yes, the confluence of the north and south, the unification of the human world, victory over the demons … these are all benefits, these are the benefits of killing Su Li. No matter how much you mock us, this is still a benefit."
Xiao Songgong looked at the Sect Master and said, "For the future of my Mount Li Sword Sect, for the well-being and happiness of the ten thousand families of the south, no matter how selfish you say we are, how can this benefit not be tempting?"
The Sect Master fell silent for a very long time. Suddenly, he raised his right hand and took out a sword from the several dozen streams of light.
This was the stream of light of the Myriad Sword Array, and only he could so casually perform this action.
Xiao Songgong said, "It seems that you still haven't thought it through."
The Sect Master replied, "Because I still haven't thought it through. You say that Junior Martial Uncle betrayed the sect, just where did this crime come from? Just like Liu'er and Bai Cai said, if you want to fabricate something, you should make up a more plausible story. "
The crowd turned to Xiao Songgong and the two Discipline Hall elders. Even the Qiushan clan head and that Guardian of unfathomable strength who had followed them up the mountain were the same. The summit was quiet for a very long time. Finally, the Discipline Hall elder said, "Su Li, he … has gone against the flow, always obstructing the confluence of the north and south. We suspect that he is colluding with the demons."
The Sect Master shook his head in speechlessness, then sighed, "Truly shameless."
The Qiushan clan head also couldn't help but shake his head, most likely feeling that this explanation was too nonsensical.
"Martial Uncle has fought with the demon experts for many years. Who knows how many demons have been killed by his sword. If it weren't for him, how could the demons be so well-behaved in the snowy plains all these years? Today, he is like a dragon swimming in the shallows, being trapped in Xunyang City by those despicable and shameless fellows precisely because he wanted to kill the Demon Military Advisor Black Robe, falling into the demons' encirclement and sustaining heavy injuries … "
The Sect Master looked at the Discipline Hall elder and said, "Those people of Xunyang City are very shameless, but you actually say that Martial Uncle is colluding with the demons. This has already surpassed the boundaries of shamelessness, reaching a level that is inhuman."
He said these words slowly and seriously, but his emotions were strong. The disciples of the various peaks also reacted intensely, throwing all sorts of filthy words at the main peak. It must be known that Su Li was not only their martial granduncle, but also the spirit and spirit of the entire Mount Li. He was the idol of all the young disciples, so how could they allow these elders to slander him?
Xiao Songgong sneered, "It's just an act."
The Sect Master yelled, "Senior Brother, if you don't have proof, just based on these words of yours, I can expel you from Mount Li."
Xiao Songgong stared into his eyes, a smile that was not a smile. "You really want proof? You must know that although that matter from back then is no longer brought up by anyone, the test paper from that year's blood test should still be hidden in the Li Palace. "
Hearing these words, the Sect Master's expression turned grave. "You … what matter are you referring to?"
Xiao Songgong sneered, "There has never been an absolute secret in this world. Did Su Li think that by killing all those people by the cold pool, he could conceal this matter?"
The Sect Master's gaze became extremely sharp as he yelled, "Shut your mouth! If you dare to act recklessly, don't blame me for shattering my sword heart and using the Myriad Sword Array to kill everyone on the mountain! "
Hearing these words, the people on the peaks of Mount Li couldn't help but shiver — such a powerful killing intent, such fierce methods. Could it be that this internal strife of Mount Li would ultimately lead to such a bitter conclusion? Just what was the secret that Xiao Songgong spoke of?
"Could it be that these disciples aren't disciples of Mount Li? Just because you wanted to conceal that secret, they all had to die?"
Xiao Songgong stared at him and sneered, "If you really used such a vicious method, I'd really like to see how you'll meet the ancestors of Mount Li after you die. I originally didn't want to expose this secret, but now that I've been forced by all of you, I have no choice but to tell the entire continent that Qi Jian is not only Su Li's daughter, she is also … "
He gazed at the dwelling behind the Sect Master and the several dozen disciples. Separated by that heavy door, he seemed to see the unconscious Qi Jian. He coldly yelled, "She is also the daughter of a Demon Princess!"
The Sect Master angrily yelled, "Shut your mouth!"
Xiao Songgong showed no fear. With disdain, he continued, "She is the daughter of Su Li and a Demon Princess!"
All the peaks of Mount Li were in an uproar, shouting and cursing incessantly. How could anyone believe this? And yet … Xiao Songgong's words still reverberated through the peaks of Mount Li. As he spoke, the voices of the peaks grew quieter and quieter.
"Back then, why did the Longevity Sect imprison that woman in the cold pool? Why did the elders have the confidence to demand that Su Li do such a great deed in order to atone for his crimes? Because Su Li had already committed a heinous crime. "
Xiao Songgong thought of that world-shaking event from ten-odd years ago and suddenly felt the wind on the mountains grow somewhat colder. "It's just that who could have imagined that Su Li would be so daring as to kill ten-odd elders of the Longevity Sect for the sake of a demon girl! Just how many experts did the human world lose because of this! You actually dare to say that he couldn't have colluded with the demons! "
The shouting and cursing suddenly stopped, and all the peaks of Mount Li fell deathly silent. Because everyone vaguely felt that this matter might be true, they were incomparably shocked. Even the head of the Qiushan clan and the Guardian couldn't help but raise their brows. Only that elder of the Longevity Sect was as calm as before, but his eyes flickered with cruelty and the pleasure of avenging a great vengeance. Presumably, he had long since known of this matter.
The Mount Li disciples gaped in speechlessness. Previously, when Xiao Songgong had revealed Qi Jian's past, everyone could still accept it. Because of their Martial Granduncle, they even felt a great deal of love, pity, and reverence for Qi Jian. But now, it was a completely different feeling. She was the daughter of a Demon Princess? Martial Granduncle actually had such a past with a Demon Princess …
After an unknown amount of time, a somewhat uneasy voice broke the silence. A Mount Li disciple standing in front of the dwelling looked at the Sect Master and asked in a trembling voice, "Martial Uncle Sect Master, this matter … is it true?"
