Lifting a Rock to Drop on Your Own Foot
The scene in front of them seemed to have a mysterious power that caused the crowd to hold their breaths. Their minds went blank until the sound of something breaking through the air broke the silence.
At this moment, numerous figures flew out from the Lingxiao Martial Mansion. These people wore long black robes and were all disciples of the Enforcement Hall. When they saw the scene before them, they all revealed shocked expressions.
Behind the Enforcement Hall disciples, an old man slowly walked forward.
When the disciples of the Lingxiao Martial Mansion saw this old man, their pupils trembled slightly, as if they had seen something terrifying. They all lowered their heads resentfully, not daring to look directly at him.
This old man was called Heartless Tie, the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. He held the highest authority in the Lingxiao Martial Mansion.
He swept his gaze across the surroundings. When he saw the corpses in the deep pit, his two sword-like eyebrows suddenly rose, causing the atmosphere of the entire space to freeze.
"Elder Tie, all of this was caused by Chu Xingyun. This madman, not only did he kill my brother, he also killed Elder Xiao Ting. Please capture him quickly, or else the entire Lingxiao Martial Mansion will be turned upside down!" Seeing Heartless Tie's arrival, a trace of hope rose in Li Chen's heart.
"He killed Li Yi and Xiao Ting?" Heartless Tie's gaze sharpened.
Just now, he had felt a fierce battle in the Lingxiao Martial Mansion and immediately rushed over with his men, thinking that it was an earth spirit realm cultivator fighting.
Who would have thought that Li Chen would say that the one who attacked was this skinny youth in front of him, who was only at the third layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm. Moreover, this youth had killed both Li Yi and Xiao Ting.
"Li Yi's cultivation had already reached the eighth layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and Xiao Ting had even stepped into the earth spirit realm. This kid killed two people in a row? What kind of joke is this? " Heartless Tie didn't believe it at all, but he could feel the wild aura emanating from Chu Xingyun's body. It was almost exactly the same as the scene of ten thousand beasts galloping forward.
Taking a deep breath, Heartless Iron threw all distracting thoughts to the back of his mind. He stared at Chu Xingyun and asked coldly, "Chu Xingyun, is what Li Chen said earlier true? Did you kill Li Yi and Xiao Ting?"
"That's right. I killed both of them." Chu Xingyun did not refute and directly confessed.
"Why did you kill the two of them?" Heartless Tie asked again. Although his face was expressionless, his heart was surging with shock.
Chu Xingyun shrugged his shoulders. His tone was very casual. "I made an agreement with Li Yi to fight to the death. After I won, I killed Li Yi on the spot. Xiao Ting flew into a rage and directly attacked me, so I killed him as well."
"How dare you!"
Heartless Tie angrily shouted, "The sect's rules state that killing is strictly prohibited in the Martial House. Chu Xingyun, you've got guts. Not only did you kill Li Yi, you even killed Xiao Ting, an elder of the Martial House. In your eyes, are there any rules?"
"Elder Tie, you've misunderstood. The reason why Chu Xingyun attacked Li Yi and Xiao Ting was because …" Yang Feng stepped forward, wanting to defend Chu Xingyun. However, before he could finish, Chu Xingyun reached out and interrupted him.
Chu Xingyun took a step forward, directly facing Heartless Tie's ice-cold face. He laughed and said, "A few days ago, in the Misty Forest, Li Chen gathered the other disciples and tried every possible means to kill me. I retaliated, but I was injured by Li Yi and was cursed by him. At that time, did the two of them obey the rules?"
"After that, Li Chen and Li Yi attacked me again. They even gathered the disciples of the Dreamy Cloud Martial House to kill me, forcing me into a dangerous situation again. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to survive. After I returned to the Lingxiao Martial House, I challenged Li Yi as a core disciple and killed him. May I ask, what did I do wrong?"
"Xiao Ting used his status as an elder to pressure me. Moreover, he joined forces with Gu Qingsong to force me to submit. In the face of danger, I defended myself and killed him. How is that wrong? Could it be that I should have stood there without moving and allowed him to kill me?"
Said Chu Xing Yun coldly. He slowly explained everything that had happened. Every word he said was clear and firm. His words entered the ears of the crowd and Tie Wu Xin's ears. Their hearts were pounding.
"Nonsense, when did I try to kill you?!" Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Li Chen panicked even more. He was unwilling to admit these facts and even said that Chu Xingyun was full of nonsense.
"I have no enmity with you. The reason why I attacked just now was to help Elder Xiao stop the chaos. I had no other intentions!"
Gu Qingsong also opened his mouth and pushed all the blame onto the dead Xiao Ting. He rolled his eyes and changed the topic, "Moreover, I can guarantee with my honor that the disciples of the Dreamy Cloud Martial House did not attack you in the Misty Forest. During the entire process, I was watching Shui Qianyue and Luo Sheng. They were busy, how could they join forces with Li Chen to deal with you?"
"Oh? Is that so? "
Chu Xingyun heard Gu Qingsong's rebuttal and suddenly grinned. He asked in return, "From the beginning to the end, I didn't say that the people who joined forces with Li Chen were Shui Qianyue and Luo Sheng, right?"
Thump!
Gu Qingsong's heart fiercely twitched. His entire face turned pale and his limbs trembled.
When the surrounding crowd heard Chu Xingyun's words and saw Gu Qingsong's strange appearance, their eyes flickered. They had all sensed that something was wrong.
"Someone shot himself in the foot. This is truly an eye-opener." Yang Feng mocked, not concealing the disdain in the slightest.
Actually, Gu Qingsong was not a stupid person. As the Dreamy Cloud Martial House's Training Elder, his status was high and he was naturally shrewd.
However, the scenes that had appeared before him today were simply too shocking. Especially Chu Xingyun's sword strike, the galloping of ten thousand beasts, and the burning of the void. It had already surpassed the limits of what his heart could endure, causing his mind to be in chaos.
In such a situation, he was simply unable to think. As soon as he spoke, Chu Xingyun grasped a huge flaw in his words.
"If Elder Tie still does not believe the conversation just now, it's fine. The scene that day was witnessed by many new disciples. You can ask any of them and you will know the truth."
Chu Xingyun's gaze once again landed on Tie Wuxin. His expression was still indifferent as he said with a faint smile, "However, I still suggest that the Law Enforcement Hall carefully investigate. After all, this matter involves two great martial houses. If it is hastily settled, I'm afraid that the Law Enforcement Hall's prestige will be destroyed in the future."
"You …" Tie Wuxin was instantly flustered. This Chu Xingyun actually dared to threaten him in a roundabout way!
However, Chu Xingyun's words were also reasonable.
