As streaks of white light descended from the sky on the Demon Prisoner Island, the disciples participating in the Demon Subduing Trial were teleported out one by one.
Outside, Sacrifice Square.
Sect Master Wu Zong and the six peak masters were all still in their original seats, especially Wu Daozi's unexpected temporary attendance this time, which caused the onlookers in the square to not dare to leave prematurely.
One after another, figures stepped out from the portals on all sides of the sacrificial altar, and then returned to their respective camp areas.
The last few people who walked out were the eight disciples who performed best in this demon-conquering trial.
He Gu was the first to walk out.
Seeing the sun again, looking at the familiar scenery around him, and breathing in the fresh and warm air that was different from the dull and cold air in the Demon Prison Island, he couldn't help but feel a little disturbed.
If Master were here, he would probably be satisfied with my performance...
The penultimate senior sister was teleported out, and she naturally walked to He Gu's side.
He whispered goodbye: "Brother, remember our agreement. From now on, my sister will come to see you when she has time. You must also come to see your sister when you have time."
After saying that, he returned to his usual dignified and elegant posture outside, and walked towards Wu Wufeng's camp with a smile and a wave.
Like stars over the moon, many female disciples of Wuxin Peak welcomed back the gentle senior sister they were proud of.
This kind of scene is also happening in other five peaks.
He Gu was absent-minded and did not take the senior sister's words to heart, so he returned to his place at Wugou Peak alone.
He was the only one standing alone in such a large place, feeling a little lost for no reason.
Before the trial, he was standing here alone, and he had felt this way before.
The reason has never changed. It is not because I am envious of the excitement of other peaks, but because I am concerned that the people who are supposed to come do not come.
Looking at the empty seats on the high platform, he looked a little wary.
Although he has made up his mind to take the initiative to approach his master in the future, he still has a lot of thoughts on how to break through the current deadlock between the two.
If Leng Qingzhu didn't even give him a face, then he would have absolutely no way to start.
As Jiang Lintian, who was the last to come out, returned to the Wuqing Peak camp, the open stone steps on both sides of the altar slowly closed up, and the four portals were isolated.
Soon, the news that a demon from the Six Paths Realm appeared in this trial reached the ears of all Wu Zong senior officials.
Wu Daozi's voice is like the sound of bells and cauldrons, which will definitely improve the performance of the disciples of various peaks and several chief disciples.
He specifically singled out Jiang Lintian, who was responsible for taking the lead in the incident, and gave him a healing elixir on the spot as an encouragement.
As for He Gu's "taking advantage of the fire" at that time, Wu Daozi did not mention it, and he simply ignored the part of the robbery drug that was reported.
Then he expressed his deep regret for the few disciples who unfortunately failed to return.
Everyone understands the cruelty of cultivating immortality, and they all realized it when they embarked on this heaven-defying road, so it is not too sad at this time.
Moreover, under the dangerous conditions where demons from the Six Paths Realm appeared, this session was able to maintain a survival rate similar to that of previous sessions, which is already a great blessing among misfortunes.
The trial is not just playing house. In the future, the environment will only get worse.
If you can't even adapt to this, don't expect to be able to grow up to be independent in the future.
At the altar, the great elder said a bunch of words of encouragement as usual, and then officially announced that this demon-killing conference was officially over.
Just when everyone was about to leave the table, someone from Jiang Lintian's side came up to him and reported in a low voice some situations during the trial.
Listening to the man's words, Jiang Lintian frowned at first, and then his eyes moved slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and unconsciously gave the person reporting the signal a wink.
Immediately, three people stepped out of the Wuqing Peak camp and walked a few feet forward quickly.
These three people were the three senior brothers who were sent by Jiang Lintian to Cai Lan during the trial.
One of them saluted towards the high platform and shouted loudly: "To the sect master, this disciple has something to reveal!"
Seeing that it was his disciple in the peak, Mr. Zhu didn't say anything and silently paid attention.
Jiang Lintian is in charge of the Wuqing Peak, so he is not worried about other disciples messing around.
Wu Daozi was a little surprised, but without putting on any airs, he agreed with a kind smile.
The other five peak masters also sat back down, looking at the three Wuqing Peak disciples below with great interest, and from time to time looking at the area where Wugou Peak belonged.
Naturally, they didn't know what these three disciples wanted to say. It was just that they had made a scene a few months ago, which left a deep impression on them.
When the disciples present saw that something else was about to happen, they all stopped.
Seeing the identities of those three people, He Gu suddenly felt uneasy and had some vague suspicions.
As he was leaving the scene in a hurry, he felt someone coming towards him from behind.
The next moment, his suspicion was indeed fulfilled.
With the permission of the sect leader, the disciple in charge of speaking immediately said in a deep voice: "My peak disciple Cai Lan was attacked and assassinated to death during the trial. The culprit was not a demon, but a fellow disciple!"
After hearing this, the whole audience was in an uproar, and they immediately speculated who did it.
Many people quickly linked the suspected target to He Gu for many reasons, including the brotherly relationship between Cai Lan and Cai Qing.
The elder who had not left the altar coughed and raised his hand to suppress the noise.
Since the three disciples from Qingqing Peak came forward to mention this matter, everyone expected that they would have a follow-up, so they calmed down and continued to look at the three people in the field.
The great elder took over the task of presiding at the right time and said to the three disciples below: "You continue."
The disciple in the middle stretched out a finger, and then suddenly pointed at the empty square area.
The object he was referring to was obviously He Gu, who was alone.
At the same time, he said something shocking: "That person is none other than the only disciple of Wugou Peak who participated in the trial, why bother!"
Then the disciple explained in detail how he first discovered that the man in black robe was He Gu, the brief confrontation between Cai Lan and He Gu when the valley incident occurred, and the most critical evidence.
"The three of us immediately set off and rushed over after receiving a call for help from Junior Brother Cai Lan. When we arrived outside the cave, I witnessed a man in black robes fleeing the scene.
In the entire central area, He Gu was the only one who had ever dressed up like this. Besides, he and Cai Lan had many conflicts to begin with, so he could only be the most suspicious person.
Junior Brother Cai Qing was killed in the Tianyin Forest because of a conflict with He Gu. Now his brother Cai Lan was also killed on the Demon Prison Island.
All signs indicate that the murderer of the black-robed man is He Gu of Wugou Peak."
The disciple knelt down on one knee as he spoke, and the two people next to him also knelt down on one knee.
The three people bowed to the high platform and asked in unison: "Please also ask the sect master to make the decision for the deceased disciple Cai Lan, find out the matter, and severely punish the murderer!"
They didn't dare to mention the fact that the elixir in the valley was taken away. After all, the elixir on the Demon Prison Island was only for the capable.
It's fine to use it to criticize He Gu on weekdays, but it's completely unnecessary to say it to Master Wu Zong and several peak leaders. Instead, it will appear that they are incompetent and unreasonable.
The crime of killing fellow students is different. Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, it doesn't cost them much to try.
In fact, the three of them didn't care at all about Cai Lan's death, and this move was just to please Jiang Lintian.
By the way, I also want to give Jiang Lintian an explanation. After all, they were entrusted by Jiang Lintian to assist and protect Cai Lan. Now that Cai Lan has been killed, they are somewhat responsible.
The disciples present felt happy when they found out what the person involved was doing.
They don't even care about the truth and the final outcome of the matter. They stay out of the matter and just watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.
They were the best at adding insult to injury, and they all responded with righteous words and asked Wu Daozi to uphold justice for the three people.
No matter what, their long-cherished wish is about to become a demonic obstacle.
Not to mention the disciples of Qingqing Peak, when they heard that He Gu had brutalized his fellow disciples in the peak, the crowd was instantly furious.
If it weren't for the pressure from the leader, Jiang Lintian, he would definitely have to go to He Guwei at this moment.
On the contrary, Wuxinfeng was much quieter, and the senior sister found a reason to tell them to be honest and not allow them to get involved.
She only heard about the last turmoil between Wuqing Peak and Wugou Peak afterward, and no one was watching at the scene at the time. It was that time when she heard about He Gu that she paid attention to him.
In order to find a suitable pet, she had gone through all the disciples of Wu Zong, but this fish that slipped through the net caused such a big trouble, which made her pay attention to such a number one person again.
When a younger brother is in trouble, of course a sister has to help. She doesn't care who is right or wrong.
My brother is always right!
She did whatever came to her mind, and the senior sister immediately sent a message to Peak Master Wu Wuxin on the high platform, her master.
"Master, this He Gu is the younger brother I just recognized. You have to help my apprentice and make sure he is fine!"
Peak Master Wu Wu was quite surprised. He Gu, who had been ordinary in the past, suddenly became conspicuous during this time.
Even his picky and picky disciple fell in love with him and even took the initiative to plead for him.
This matter is big if it is big or small if it is small, so there is no need for her to come forward for the time being.
"Let's take a look first. This is just one theory, and the matter is still unclear. Don't worry, this little guy has a special status. Except for Jiang Ling, a woman who acts without scruples, other senior officials will not do anything to him easily."
The senior sister felt a little relieved after hearing this.
The leader of Qingqing Peak did not change his expression and remained calm, making it difficult for people to see his attitude.
The other four peak masters also remained silent.
In the crowd of deacons at the side, the beautiful woman clenched her jade hands tightly, her fingertips turned white.
The plump red lips were pursed tightly, and the dignified jade face was full of deep worry.
In the middle of the high platform, the kind smile on Wu Daozi's face became even wider.
He seemed to be very interested in what was happening in front of him and was looking forward to how things would develop next.
