The young man with only his soul left standing empty, his appearance stayed at the moment of being possessed, still masculine and handsome.
People in Zixiao Palace were in a state of excitement, and the elders were so shocked that they could not sit still.
"Senior Brother Yuan!" Yang Xiangtian shouted.
Wen Rujin was in disbelief: "Junior Brother Yuan..."
When she was young, she was often entrusted by her master to take care of Mei Zizhen. She studied with Yuan Daotong together, and her friendship was much deeper than others.
Everyone else was excited in their own way.
Bai Mengjin didn't look at anyone, only paying attention to Ling Yungao in the middle.
Hearing Yuan Daotong's name, Ling Yungao froze. His blood-stained pupils narrowed and he stared at Yuan Daotong.
"Sect Master, you should be familiar with this person, right?" Bai Mengjin glanced over, "Your most beloved senior brother, he saved your life when you were chased by a water monster, and he worked hard to help you borrow magic weapons during your competition. Don't you
When he followed the master's orders to hunt for treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, he was not afraid of life and death to find you. But you pushed him into the abyss, turned him into a monster that lost his mind, and locked him in the Xuanbing Prison for three hundred years..."
She smiled slightly and said coldly: "Speaking of which, Uncle Mei's cultivation was originally intended to be passed on to Master Yuan, but you deceived him. If you hadn't acquired this cultivation, you wouldn't have been able to transform into a god.
Not as high as the sect leader. Your outstanding achievements for half your life are all due to Uncle Yuan."
Ling Yungao moved his lips and said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about! Don't slander me!"
"Is it really a slander?" Bai Mengjin turned around, "Uncle Yuan, what do you think?"
Yuan Daotong slowly raised his head, his expression pale and numb.
"Junior brother Ling, long time no see." He obviously hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was dull, "I didn't expect you to become the sect leader, I'm really surprised."
"..." Ling Yungao did not respond.
Yuan Daotong smiled softly, with hatred in his eyes: "You killed my master, killed so many of my fellow disciples, and caused me to become a demon. Can you feel at ease in this position of sect leader?!"
Ling Yungao said nothing.
"It seems that you are not guilty at all," Yuan Daotong sneered, full of hatred, "Forget it, today I will tell everyone all the good things you have done!"
"Junior Brother Yuan." Wen Rujin called.
Yuan Daotong turned around and said softly: "Senior sister, it's great to see you again."
Meeting his eyes, Wen Rujin felt sour in her heart: "So you were wronged? You didn't kill Master Mei and your fellow disciples, but you suffered in the Xuanbing Prison for so many years!"
"Of course." Yuan Daotong said firmly, "I did not betray Master, nor did I harm my junior brothers and sisters! Back then..."
He slowly recounted what happened three hundred years ago, from the time he entered Yuanzhou City to the time he lost his mind after being cast a secret spell by Old Master Ling.
"...I can't remember what happened after that. Everyone knows that when I returned to the sect, I had already become a demon. I couldn't remember who I was, and I couldn't recognize anyone. After entering the Xuanbing Prison, I fought with the demons. Fortunately, I
She survived. Later, when Master Nephew Bai came, I tried to take her away, but in the end..."
Yuan Daotong smiled: "Maybe God can't bear to see such a villain occupying a high position. My demonic body died, and my demonic nature was stripped away by Master Nephew Bai. The remaining soul restored my sanity, letting the truth of that year come to light."
Understand this!"
He stared intently at the person tied to the pillar: "Ling Yun Gao, don't you still recognize me?"
Most of the elders believed it. After Ying Shaoguang laid out the doubts in the dossier, and then Yuan Daotong told the truth, everything was clearly sorted out.
It's not that Yuan Daotong entered the Treasure Pavilion to eliminate demons, but Ling Yungao left the same sect because of treasures. Therefore, the demon who feeds on evil thoughts and desires was attracted and released his clone.
In order to protect his junior brothers and sisters, Yuan Daotong was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Because of his unwillingness, he ate a demon heart alive!
The version he told is obviously more reasonable than the one compiled by Ling Yungao, and all the doubts have been answered.
Some of the soft-hearted elders had tears in their eyes. Putting it in Yuan Daotong's place, his experience was too tragic!
In a ghost place like Xuanbing Prison, he not only had to endure the pain of freezing, but also had to fight with the demons. It was not easy to survive! From the beginning to the end, he did nothing wrong and only defended his junior brothers and sisters.
Heart.
Xin Tingxue covered her heart and whispered with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry to Senior Sister Mei for letting her beloved disciple suffer this injustice!"
Hua Wusheng patted her arm and said softly: "Me too. I know that Senior Sister Mei taught the skills to that kid, but I believe it so much."
Wen Rujin calmed down, turned to Ling Yungao, and asked coldly: "Junior brother Ling, what else do you have to say?"
Ling Yungao snorted coldly: "That's a bunch of nonsense!"
Wen Rujin narrowed her eyes: "So you don't recognize it?"
Ling Yungao sneered: "What do I have to recognize? He hates me to the core. Wouldn't it be surprising if he made up any words to frame me?"
"Junior Brother Ling!" Wen Rujin said in a deep voice, "Uncle Mei treated you well back then! Junior Brother Yuan even loved and protected you in every way. Do you really not care about affection at all?"
Ling Yungao smiled half-heartedly: "Sister, what you said is interesting! Between me and Senior Brother Yuan, why do you believe Senior Brother Yuan or not me?"
"Just because of your poor character!" Yuan Songqiao said coldly, "You can even harm a disciple who regards you as your own daughter. You have already been obsessed with interests. What is there for others to believe?"
"That's just a one-sided statement." Ling Yun raised his head and said, "The old sect master personally investigated this matter back then. Don't you believe the old sect master?!"
When he said this, even Venerable Kumu, who usually didn't like to interrupt, was irritated and shouted: "Don't insult the old sect master! That's why he trusted Senior Sister Mei and was deceived by you! You have done this evil thing and you still have to bear the responsibility."
Put it on others?"
Ling Yungao still looked fearless: "What evil deeds have I done? Do you have any evidence? Just pick out a few sentences from the file, make up some so-called experiences, and say it's the truth? My identification was made by Senior Brother Yuan
It is reasonable for him to hate me after being punished, and he will certainly not let it go if he has the opportunity to harm me. How can you be sure that what he said is true?"
He looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, which made the elders furious, but they couldn't think of anything to say in defense.
Indeed, Yuan Daotong's words are only isolated evidence, and there is no other way to verify it, so it cannot be regarded as ironclad evidence. Moreover, Yuanzhou City has long since ceased to exist, and it is impossible to conduct an on-site inspection now.
"So, you all insist on your own opinions, and no one has evidence." Wen Rujin said slowly, "You said that Junior Brother Yuan was slandering, but you can't prove that what you said is true."
Ling Yungao was about to continue, but Bai Mengjin intervened: "Who said Master Yuan has no evidence?"
The elders looked over.
Wen Rujin asked expectantly: "Senior Nephew Bai, do you still have any evidence to submit?"
Bai Mengjin nodded: "Uncle Wen, elders, I have a second witness here!"
