Hearing the words of the sect leader, not only Murong Ziyun was confused, but everyone was stunned for an instant, as if they had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
Murong Xuan walked down the steps step by step and walked down to Chase Lu, and he said in a deep voice: "You must all be confused in your hearts, why Lu Chen killed Elder Xu Zongtang and defected overnight, but now after returning, I didn't blame him!
"
Lu Chen fell into silence. He and his master discussed this matter together back then, so the only person who knew the truth about this matter was his master.
Faced with the excitement of everyone in Jianzong, it was useless for him to explain too much because no one would believe him.
At this time, he could only rely on his master to tell everyone the truth. He believed that his master would return his innocence.
Upon hearing the sect leader's questioning, everyone looked confused and puzzled.
Shangguan Qingyun said in shock: "Are the rumors outside true?"
"That's right!" Murong Xuan glanced at Shangguan Qingyun with a smile, then at Lu Chen, and then said loudly to everyone: "This matter is not what you think, in fact, Lu Chen did not do anything treasonous at all back then.
, all this is just an illusion!"
"Sect Master, please tell me the truth and give my master justice!" Yuan Hao walked to the middle of the hall and said seriously, his eyes staring at Lu Chen with a cold and stern look.
Murong Xuan said loudly: "Okay, then I will tell you the truth!"
He glanced at everyone in the hall with burning eyes, gritted his teeth and shouted: "The reason Lu Chen killed Xu Zongtang back then was because Elder Xu was not from our Sword Sect at all. He was actually a spy sent by Qisha who assassinated Wushuang Sword back then.
Saint Lu Zhenxuan and Xu Zongtang are among the culprits!"
"What, Xu Zongtang is a spy?"
"How can this be!"
"How could my master be a spy? Master, please don't tell lies!"
Hearing the sect master's explanation, it was like a bolt of lightning flashed across the hall. Everyone's expressions froze and their eyes were dull, causing an uproar for a moment. It turned out that this was the truth back then.
At this time, they suddenly discovered that they had wrongly blamed Lu Chen and confused right and wrong.
The most excited person among them was Yuan Hao, who simply did not believe that this so-called truth was actually like this.
Xu Zongtang was his master, and he regarded him as his own son all his life. He had loved Yuan Hao very much since he was a child. His feelings were so deep, how could he accept such a truth.
"You're lying, huh!" Murong Xuan looked at Yuan Hao with cold eyes, then took out a blood-stained letter from his arms and said loudly: "If you don't believe it, just read this letter! This is your master's letter back then.
After being killed by Lu Chen, I found it from his arms. I knew that this day would come sooner or later, so I kept it carefully!"
As he said that, he threw the blood-stained letter on Yuan Hao's face. Yuan Hao took the letter with trembling hands, opened it, and glanced at those sensitive words. In the blink of an eye, large beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Qu Qingyang in the crowd said with excitement: "Look, I knew it was like this. You didn't believe anything you said at the beginning. You must have mistakenly blamed a good person!"
"Hmm, I really didn't expect that the truth would be like this! We all wrongly blamed Lu Chen." Han Wenqing was also so excited that he nodded.
Song Lianzhou looked suspicious and said: "Sect Master, since it was Lu Chen who killed Xu Zongtang, why did he defect to the sect privately, causing everyone to mistakenly think that he became a traitor!"
"Because Lu Chen wants revenge, Seven Kills is a very mysterious organization. After he killed Xu Zongtang, he concluded that the Seven Kills organization is not a fixed force. They hide their names, lurk among major forces, monitor the world's forces, and reach a certain level.
An unknown purpose!" Murong Xuan said with a serious expression.
Xu Lan, the first elder of the Suzaku Academy, said suddenly: "Lu Chen wanted to take revenge, but he was afraid that he would offend the major forces and cause trouble to the sect, so he left the Sword Sect privately!"
"Junior Sister Xu Lan is very thoughtful and can guess right!" Murong Xuan said with a smile.
Uncle Yu said in a deep voice: "Since the sect master knows this matter, then Lu Chen probably got your permission when he defected to the Sword Sect!"
"Yes, when Lu Chen and Xu Zongtang were fighting fiercely in the back mountain, I was the only one who discovered it! This matter was also a decision he and I made together." Murong Xuan nodded in response.
When everyone heard the sect leader's explanation, their originally angry expressions changed dramatically in an instant.
Xu Lan stepped forward and helped Lu Chen up. Her originally indifferent eyes instantly became extremely soft. She felt ashamed and said, "My child, you are suffering. Get up! I want to take care of you for everyone in Jianzong."
No, everyone has wrongly blamed you."
"I brought all this on myself and I deserve to bear it!" Lu Chen smiled lightly, and his whole body seemed to be in high spirits.
Murong Xuan looked around and said in an excited voice: "I can responsibly tell you that Lu Chen has always been a member of our Sword Sect. His father is the unparalleled swordsman Lu Zhenxuan. He has been serving our Sword Sect for generations. Do you think he
Will he be a traitor?"
"Who dares to say that he is a traitor to the Sword Sect? I am incompatible with him!" Qu Qingyang jumped out from the crowd and shouted excitedly.
"Lu Chen, you bastard, you hid so many things from everyone!" Murong Ziyun suddenly rushed to the crowd and hugged Lu Chen. Tears slid down his delicate cheeks uncontrollably, like an avalanche, hysterical.
burst into tears.
It was so hard for Lu Chen to hide it from her! Why was she so stupid? She never chose to believe Lu Chen from the beginning.
It was she who missed Lu Chen. She was wrong, so wrong, and her heart was filled with regret and shame.
Chase Lu's body froze, he didn't know where to put his hands, and his numb expression revealed a relieved smile.
Murong Xuan said in a somewhat depressed tone: "Lu Chen has been scorned and insulted by others because he has been called a traitor. Do you know how much he has endured? Do you know how much he has paid for the Sword Sect?"
"No one knows, because you don't understand the truth of this matter at all!"
Tang Xuan, Yue Xiu, Liu Yue, Han Wenqing, Teng Qinglei and other former partners looked at Lu Chen with complicated eyes, feeling inexplicably sad in their hearts.
When Lu Chen left the Sword Sect and traveled around the world, not only did he not receive any help from the Sword Sect, he was also insulted and hunted down by everyone in the Sword Sect.
He has been wandering around for these years, living a miserable life every day. No one knows how he managed to survive and how much injustice he suffered.
He has been silently contributing to the Sword Sect, but he has not been recognized by anyone, let alone the rewards he deserves. On the contrary, he has encountered everyone's hostility and scorn.
To move forward with a heavy load, to be willing to carry everything, and to be an unknown hero, such a great mind and courage.
What kind of magnanimity should one have to achieve this step? In the whole world, I am afraid that Lu Chen is the only person with an open mind.
At this moment, everyone's originally hostile gaze on Lu Chen changed drastically in an instant, and they couldn't help but respect him!
The high-spirited and talented genius of the past is back!
He walked through the endless darkness, from the abyss of revenge, to the dawn step by step.
"Lu Chen, Jian Zong is in trouble, you came back at the right time!" Shangguan Qingyun looked at Lu Chen with great joy.
Lu Chen's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said loudly: "I will live and die with Jian Zong!"
When everyone in the hall heard this, they all roared in unison, their expressions full of excitement and excitement.
"Live and die with the Sword Sect!"
"Live and die with the Sword Sect!"
"Live and die with the Sword Sect!"
.......
Lu Chen's return encouraged the Sword Sect's gloomy atmosphere.
Lu Chen's low shout instantly ignited everyone's passion and hope, and the momentum quickly rose, uniting everyone's originally broken hearts.
"Lu Chen, this time Wanshou Mountain has launched a large-scale attack on Jianzong, with many soldiers and generals, and the attack is fierce. Jianzong is in a very bad situation!" Murong Xuan said seriously.
Lu Chen snorted coldly and said energetically: "Master, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain came for me. I came back just to clean up the mess. The things that happened back then should be settled!"
"Oh, are you sure?" Murong Xuan's eyes lit up when Lu Chen said this.
Lu Chen smiled: "50% sure!"
"Okay, very good. You didn't disappoint me, master. I will take a gamble with you this time!" Murong Xuan patted Lu Chen on the shoulder hard, his eyes filled with relief.
"Something bad happened to the sect leader!"
At this moment, a panicked shout rang out from outside the hall, and then a Sword Sect disciple ran in in a panic.
Murong Xuan frowned and said, "What's going on? You're in such a panic!"
"Reporting to the sect leader, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain has led its army to Wolong Town!" The Sword Sect disciple said with a pale face.
"What, you're moving so fast!" Murong Xuan's expression changed dramatically.
Lu Chen on the side immediately shouted: "Let's go and fight with Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!"
With that said, he took the lead and walked out! Everyone in the hall seemed to have heard some kind of order, and they all rallied and ran out.
"Fire Qilin, follow me into battle to kill the enemy!" Lu Chen shouted, and a terrifying monster crawling on the square suddenly woke up.
"Roar!" It opened its eyes, raised its head and roared, shaking the heaven and earth.
Seeing the terrifying monster covered in flames, a group of senior members of the Sword Sect were immediately startled, their eyes filled with shock.
The terrifying coercion radiated away, causing everyone to feel a strong sense of oppression. What kind of monster was this? It was so ferocious and terrifying.
"This is?" Murong Xuan asked in surprise.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "My mount, Fire Qilin!"
"Is this the legendary beast, the Fire Qilin?" Murong Xuan was shocked when he heard this.
Since the birth of the fire unicorn, it has only appeared two or three times in the land of Kyushu. It contains pure blood of divine beasts and is a rare and peak existence among monster beasts. He did not expect that his disciples could conquer such divine beasts. It was incredible.
.
"Well, with it, our chances of winning are even better!" Lu Chen laughed loudly, and Fire Qilin quickly ran over, as well-behaved as a pet, and went straight down the mountain with him.
Looking at Lu Chen's powerful figure, Murong Xuan suddenly had an illusion and realized that this disciple's back was becoming more and more unpredictable.
Murong Xuan took a deep breath and felt a surge of pride in his chest. Maybe it would be Lu Chen who could really turn the situation around this time.
