After taking a clear look at their surroundings, the monks quickly found people from their sects to gather together. Not long after Tong Yan stood firm, someone saw her and came over.
They are Shen Zhuangheng, Xiao Lou, and He Zhan who is supporting him.
In the secret realm, the two walked together, and later met He Zhaoyu, and a fight ensued. The opponent was outnumbered, and they were gradually outnumbered. Shen Zhuangheng, who was passing by by chance, rescued them.
During the fight, Xiao Lou took a knife for He Zhan and was seriously injured.
After the meeting, the two parties briefly understood each other's situation. At this time, the team of Mosha Sect was also assembled and ready to set off.
Shen Zhuangheng and Tong Yan are on different paths, so they will break up here and contact each other when they have time.
Just as she and her sect disciples were returning home, Tong Yan unexpectedly received a message. The content made her confused. When she first heard the message, she almost thought it was a prank played by her junior uncle.
Rong Yaoling's voice was a little low, as if she was suppressing something. She said, "Don't come back, leave quickly, hide, and never come back to the sect again."
There was no beginning or end to the sentence. Tong Yan really didn't understand what she meant. Why did she ask her not to go back? What had she done that was so serious that she couldn't even return to the sect?
"Uncle, did you send the message to the wrong person?" Tong Yan was confused and worried that she had sent the message to the wrong person, so she went back.
Although Chai Sheng's death was related to her, it could only be regarded as self-defense. In the end, there was a corpse as evidence that she was not the one who killed the person at all. With Shang Xun nearby, could she be afraid that Elder Chai and the others would fabricate it out of thin air and blame her for it? Convicted?
She knew very well that the master would not let her suffer for no reason, so she was not too worried about Chai Sheng's death. Besides, she was not wrong, so why should she be afraid.
People who have someone to rely on are always arrogant and confident.
However, after receiving a strange message from Rong Yaoling, Tong Yan inadvertently noticed that someone was staring at her vaguely. She looked quietly at the crowd of disciples, and finally determined that the target of suspicion was related to the Chai family. On the disciples.
Combined with what Rong Yaoling said, she guessed that it was probably Elder Chai who had made an attack, and the situation might not be good for her, so the junior uncle would quietly inform her and ask her not to go back.
This can also explain why the disciples of the Tongchai family were staring at him. They were probably ordered not to let her escape halfway.
At that time, Tong Yan didn't know that he had guessed correctly, but it was only half correct.
Tong Yan has walked on the road from the sect gate back to Luo Huafeng countless times. Even if he walked with his eyes closed, he would not go wrong.
As soon as she landed, she wanted to go home along the usual route, but someone in the square immediately blocked her after seeing her.
The visitor had a serious face and walked towards her with rapid steps. His eyes were locked on her the whole time, as if he was afraid that she would run away if she went slower, which inexplicably gave Tong Yan a sense of nervousness.
And his next words confirmed her hunch. "Uncle Tong, the sect master and the elders ask you to go to the main peak immediately."
main peak
The meeting hall was extremely quiet at the moment, and there was a suffocating tension surrounding the place. People on both sides stood quietly with their hands down, looking cautious, as if they didn't even dare to breathe too heavily, for fear of attracting the attention of the people above.
In the silent lobby, the footsteps slowly coming up the steps outside the lined door became louder and heavier.
As the voices of varying severity gradually approached, they entered the lobby, and finally stood in the middle. Everyone's tense nerves were finally temporarily relaxed.
Because the protagonist they had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, the few with the most power present had already turned all their attention to her, and there was no need to worry that they would distract themselves from her.
Tong Yan walked at the front and could best feel the feeling of being watched by all the people when he first came in.
But it felt bad at the moment. She couldn't tell what was in the sight of these people one by one. She just felt like there were countless malicious swords piercing her, causing her body to straighten subconsciously to resist.
The most obvious sight of Elder Chai on the right front was so sharp that it was impossible to ignore, and so ferocious that he wanted to devour her immediately.
Tong Yan pretended not to see him, bowed to Shang Xun in a polite manner, and then stood up straight.
After she finished speaking, the lobby was quiet for a while. This silence was beyond her expectation, and a sense of uneasiness arose spontaneously. At this time, an elder Yuan Ying spoke, which intensified her feeling.
He issued orders to his disciples with a tough attitude that would not allow him to refuse. He would not even spare an eye to Tong Yan during the process.
"Xiao Lou, come here."
The disciples who had led them had already returned to their positions. At this time, only Tong Yan and the four of them were standing in the middle of the hall. Suddenly, a voice sounded in the silence, and several people looked over at the same time.
Then Tong Yan looked at Xiao Lou He Zhan, and her eyes signaled He Zhan to send him over.
Now that the three courts are interrogating each other, what will happen to her will definitely not be a good thing. They have nothing to do with this matter, so it is better not to get involved.
He Zhan looked at Tong Yan with worried eyes, but did not disobey her order and silently led Xiao Lou to his master.
Huo Qizhi is Tong Yan's disciple. She is being tried here. As a disciple, it is not easy for her to stand aside and be a spectator who has nothing to do with her.
Tong Yan hesitated for a moment, then gave him a look and told him to go away, but Huo Qizhi seemed to have not seen it and ignored her meaning.
Huo Qizhi didn't leave, and Tong Yan couldn't tell whether he was angry or grateful.
Because from the time she entered until now, she found that Shang Xun at the top had never raised his head to look at her.
Haobai's face was slightly drooped, his eyelashes were half-opened, and his expression was unclear, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this time.
His strange attitude made Tong Yan uneasy, and then she looked at Rong Yaoling, who was standing below Shang Xun, trying to get some clues from her.
But she didn't expect Rong Yaoling's attitude to be even weirder. I had the impression that the little uncle liked to laugh. He sneered when he was serious, laughed when he was happy, laughed at jokes, and smiled bitterly when he was heartbroken. The cold look he had at this moment was the first time she had seen her in so many years.
Saw it once.
Tong Yan somehow remembered the message he received on the way home.
"Don't come back..."
Could this really be a warning from her junior uncle?
Because during her absence, something major happened to the sect related to her, which was more serious than Chai Sheng's death...
Tong Yan's heart became sinking as she thought about it, and her lack of clues made her anxious again.
She couldn't sit still and wait for death. She had to take the initiative to expose Chai Sheng's death to break the deadlock at the moment.
Otherwise, if you wait any longer, you will be defeated psychologically before the battle is fought.
Thinking this, Tong Yan immediately knelt down on one leg and explained the whole story of Chai Sheng and his men chasing him.
Huo Qizhi also promptly threw out the mummies of Chai Sheng and the other two, as well as two other bloody corpses, to support Tong Yan's words.
The evidence is conclusive, and there is no logic or any loopholes in the words. Even if Elder Chai does not believe that she was not the one who killed him, there is no way to deny these facts.
But it was clear that Tong Yan was not the one who killed her, so the Chai family would have let her go. Chai Sheng died because of her, and she was a stumbling block in their eyes. They had a rare chance to kill her, so how could they do it?
Because of the evidence, she was easily let go.
Especially, this is an opportunity gained at the expense of a future heir.
Elder Chai flew into a rage on the spot and scolded: "Nonsense, Chai Sheng has no enmity against you, so why should I kill you! Since he is already dead, no matter what you say, you can't tell whether you are right or not."
Tong Yan asked unceremoniously: "Then let me ask Elder Chai, he has no enmity with me, so why should I kill him?"
The two of them went back and forth and argued endlessly for a long time with no result, and the usually solemn meeting hall turned into a noisy vegetable market.
