Silence suddenly fell in front of the gate of Zhijian Hall.
Ma Yingjie's body was trembling faintly.
He looked at the four disciples who had their heads lowered, with complex expressions surging between their brows.
Chu Qingxiao looked at him and asked, "Master Lu, do you need me to continue talking?"
Ma Yingjie's body trembled. He raised his head and glanced at Chu Qingxiao, then looked at the four disciples again: "Why?"
he asked with a trembling voice.
He didn't quite understand why these four disciples would betray him.
These four people were all his disciples, and he treated them very well. Especially after Lu Huan left, he even bluntly told the four of them that when he was a century old, everything he had left would belong to them.
of.
This is already considered the ultimate act of benevolence and righteousness.
He didn't understand why even so, some of these people would choose to betray him.
And if this were not the case, it would not be possible to explain why Chu Qingxiao could know all the details of what happened the night before.
"Lord Lu, there is no need to embarrass them..."
"You can lie to yourself and say that if Lu Huan hadn't done that when he was dealing with the foreign gods in Ningzhou, everyone would have died."
"But you can't fool everyone. There are always people who understand that Lu Huan was the murderer who killed Xu Chenchen!"
"You should be glad that not all of your disciples are as heartless as you and your father. Some of them still have consciences, so they are willing to expose your crimes to Governor Lu!" Chu Qingxiao said calmly.
"Expose me!?" Ma Yingjie smiled bitterly, then he stared at the four disciples and asked, "Come! Let me see, which one of you is so upright and upright?"
At this moment, through the Shura Realm, Chu Qingxiao could clearly feel the real murderous intention surrounding Ma Yingjie.
His heart moved, and he looked at the man named Li among the four disciples.
Immediately, Chu Qingxiao opened his mouth and said: "Senior Brother Li, now that the matter has come to an end, you should stop hiding it."
The disciple surnamed Li was shocked when he heard this, and at that moment, the aura lingering on his body was deliberately taken away.
He quickly raised his head and wanted to explain.
But before the words were spoken, Ma Yingying had already arrived in front of him.
"Master..." Just as he was about to say something, Ma Yingjie's face suddenly turned ferocious, and a hand came up and pinched his neck.
His body was lifted high, and the pressure in his throat made it difficult for him to breathe. The words that reached his mouth were tightly choked in his throat, and he could no longer spit them out.
He felt the breath of death coming towards him and overwhelming him.
A huge sense of fear also enveloped him.
Lu Sandao on the side raised his eyebrows, and in a flash he came to Ma Yingying. She struck out with a palm, but the seemingly light palm wind was packed with huge force.
Ma Yingjie's face suddenly turned pale, his body retreated several feet, and he fell directly from the steps in front of the Zhijian Hall Mansion, falling heavily to the ground.
"Mr. Lu, in front of me, do you also want to kill people and silence them?" Lu Sandao asked.
Her face no longer looked drunk, but instead bursts of anger filled her face.
Ma Yingjie stood up in embarrassment, blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth.
"It's my fault that I don't know people well enough to raise such a wolf cub!" He ignored Lu Sandao's words, but stared at the disciple named Li with vicious eyes.
At this moment, the disciple was enveloped by the aura inspired by Lu Sandao, and was unable to move on the spot, but his pale face was full of fear.
"Guys, you have also seen that Ma Yingjie is not a kind person. He is the same to Zhu Renzhao and the same to you. Now that I have mastered the testimony of Senior Brother Li, if you are willing to come forward to testify now and make up for your mistakes, you can at least save one life.
, Otherwise, a dead end awaits you!" Chu Qingxiao stepped forward at this moment and looked at the other three disciples.
Lu Sandao squinted his eyes and retracted the energy that fell on the three people.
The three of them were finally liberated. They looked up at their pale companions, and then at Ma Yingjie who had climbed up from the ground with a pale body.
Although they had no way to speak just now, they felt clearly what was happening around them.
They heard what Chu Qingxiao told about what happened the night before, and coupled with the attitude of the talented man Lu Haocun towards the disciple surnamed Li, these people also realized that the disciple surnamed Li had already told the story as Chu Qingxiao said.
Tell the whole story to Lu Sandao.
When things got to this point, they felt that there was no room for turning back.
According to Tianxuan Mountain's sect rules, killing fellow disciples is a serious matter that can lead to beheading. They were so panicked at the moment that they could no longer care about anything else and knelt down one after another at this moment.
"It's all what Ma Yingying ordered us to do!"
"It was he who asked us to kill Zhu Renzhao and dump his body in the alleys of the city!"
"His son killed Zhu Renzhao's wife. A few days ago, he heard that Zhu Renzhao told his son the truth. He suspected that Zhu Renzhao and Zhu Quan had killed his son, so he tortured Zhu Renzhao in every possible way the night before..."
The three of them were panicking, and in order to survive, they began to tell the story of what happened that day.
When the people around him heard this, they also looked horrified.
Before that, they had inquired about each other, learned about Zhu Renzhao's murder, and also understood Zhu Renzhao's identity.
But now I heard about the various methods used by Ma Yingying and others to torture Zhu Renzhao that night, which was already shocking.
Seeing his disciple like this, Ma Yingjie knew that the matter was completely exposed. He stood frozen on the spot and paused for a long time. The next moment, he suddenly looked indignant.
"yes!"
"I killed Zhu Renzhao!"
"But...he killed my son! Blood must be paid with blood! What's wrong with that!" He roared loudly, with reluctance written all over his face.
"first."
"He couldn't have killed your son." Chu Qingxiao looked at Ma Yingjie at this moment and said in a deep voice.
Ma Yingjie was stunned. Chu Qingxiao had mentioned this before. He just thought it was a lie told by the other party to force him to submit.
But this matter has been exposed, and Chu Qingxiao certainly doesn't have to lie to him anymore. He also realized that Chu Qingxiao seemed to really know some truths that he didn't know.
"Impossible! He admitted it himself!"
"If he hadn't killed him, how could he have known that my Huan'er didn't wear a spiritual sword that night, and how could he have admitted..." Ma Yingjie said this, but his face suddenly turned ugly as if he suddenly thought of something.
He thought about how Zhu Renzhao had been trying to shift the blame to Zhu Quan and Mingjingtai since he met him that night, but at the last moment, he suddenly mentioned that Lu Huan was not wearing a spiritual sword when he died.
At that time, Ma Yingjie thought he had discovered a flaw. Driven by hatred, he regarded this small flaw as the result of Skynet's carelessness.
Now that I think about it, with Zhu Renzhao's temperament that he could grovel and beg for his life for his own son, how could he put the blame on his own son?
He was lying to himself from the beginning!
This is all his plan!
He used his own life to take the blame for others!
In his eyes, the lame man, who was despicable, pitiable, and not even worth mentioning, played him around.
Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie's face once again showed a ferocious look: "Back then...I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let him go!"
He said to himself rather regretfully.
"Master Lu, please don't put too much emphasis on your own face. You are not soft-hearted. You just look down on people like Zhu Renzhao from the bottom of your heart."
"Do you think people like them should be submissive and should be trampled under your feet and allowed to be bullied by you?"
"But the fact is that if you take off the glorious coat of a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, there is no difference between you and him." Chu Qingxiao said coldly.
"You are not nobler than him, and he is not an ant that you can trample on!"
"Your son was not killed by him, but by you."
"The condescension you taught your son laid the foundation for his death! And now, you have to pay the price for your evil deeds!"
"A few years ago, you protected Lu Huan and coerced Zhu Renzhao."
"The day before yesterday, you abused lynching, beat Zhu Renzhao into a trap, and killed him at the same time!"
"Whether it is according to the laws of Dayu or the rules of Tianxuan Mountain, Ma Yingjie will not regret your death!"
After Chu Qingxiao said this, he stepped forward, and the Linyuan sword behind him suddenly unsheathed.
Under the palm of Lu Sandao just now, Ma Yingjie's meridians had been cut off. Facing the approaching Chu Qingxiao, he couldn't muster the slightest strength to resist.
Moreover, the murder of Zhu Renzhao had been exposed, and he knew that he had no chance of surviving.
But he still felt unwilling. He already knew who was the real culprit who killed his son - the only person who could make Zhu Renzhao deliberately deceive him was obviously Zhu Renzhao's son Zhu Quan!
He still had many old friends on Qingquan Peak. Even if he died, as long as he passed on this news, his old friends might find a way to help him avenge his revenge. With this idea in mind, he opened his mouth and wanted to say
something.
But how could Chu Qingxiao not know what he was thinking? At this moment, he had already arrived in front of him. The Linyuan Sword in his hand was suddenly thrust out and pierced into Ma Yingjie's chest.
The severe pain and the rapid withdrawal of life made Ma Yingjie's words come to his mouth, but he could not spit them out no matter what.
His eyes were full of unwillingness and despair, and just before his consciousness was about to completely dissipate, Chu Qingxiao leaned into his ear and whispered.
"Tell Mr. Lu another secret."
"Actually...no one betrays you."
"If you could trust your disciples a little more, I wouldn't be able to do anything against you."
Ma Yingjie's heart trembled. He used his last bit of strength to look at the disciple surnamed Li, only to see him slumped on the spot with a lifeless look on his face, his face full of fear and astonishment.
Obviously, he didn't know about all this.
But if no one betrayed him, how did Chu Qingxiao know everything about that night?
This question came to Ma Yingjie's mind at the last moment of his life, but he no longer had the energy to think about it anymore.
With despair and unwillingness, with confusion and annoyance.
His head finally drooped heavily, and there was no longer any life left.
…
There was deathly silence outside the gate of Zhijian Hall.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in astonishment, seeing that the little-known young man could actually kill a deacon of Tianxuan Mountain in public.
But after a brief moment of astonishment, the crowd burst into cheers.
They are all outer sect and handyman disciples in Tianxuan City.
In this Tianxuan City, people being bullied by the inner sect often happen.
But most of the time, they dare not speak out.
They naturally sympathized with Zhu Renzhao's experience.
In the corner of the crowd, a man wearing a white mask was also looking at the scene on the field. The eyes behind his mask flashed with deep light. At the moment when the cheers broke out, he seemed to be watching with emotion.
Looking around, among the crowd, there were thin golden light spots, pouring out from their bodies, as if they were about to rush towards Chu Qingxiao on the stage.
The man wearing the mask moved his hands under the cuffs slightly to form a strange handprint. The next moment, those surging golden light spots seemed to have received some kind of summons. At this time, they turned around the dock and poured in.
inside his body.
The Qi around him became a bit more majestic with the influx of these light and electricity...
