Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

"Shen heard everything from below just now." Having said this, he could face the person opposite him openly and replied with a smile, "What Elder Bai said is true. We are only interested in an identity. As for whether Mu Yunzhong is the descendant of Nangong Xiu or not, and whether he wants to be our master, it is not important to anyone."

Zhao Liyang laughed angrily and was so angry that he almost lost his temper on the spot.

Wei Tianqing stood up and said, "Shen Zhui, do you know what you are talking about? If you are just a pawn being used by others, Jiuxiao Xian Pavilion can help you, but if you are the mastermind, where will the Cangyu Sect that raised you be placed?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhui just looked up and saw the master who had raised him for more than 20 years. He smiled with a complicated look, "Although Shen has been expelled from the sect, if the three major sects want to hold him accountable, Shen will not feel lonely even if he leaves."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"ungrateful."

"Disrespecting the teacher and destroying the ancestors."

"It's simply outrageous."

Even Yu Tianyi was pointing at him in anger, almost speechless, "Traitor! How has the Cang Yu Sect ever treated you unfairly? Do you want to put the Cang Yu Sect in such a situation?"

"How have I treated her unfairly?" Shen Zhui also laughed, but his eyes became level. "You clearly promised me that you would marry my junior sister to me and pass on the Cang Yu Sect to me, but what happened? I have devoted all my efforts to the Cang Yu Sect for so many years, but a marriage contract helped her and Junior Brother Mo to be together. Master, what do you think of me?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience. It turned out that this was his motive.

Because of a woman.

Jiang Tingwan looked at the person opposite her who had an expressionless face but said these words firmly, and her eyes became red unconsciously.

He took all the blame on himself.

He used this reason to distance himself from everyone.

He saved the Cangyu Sect and also protected Mu Yunzhong.

He was the only victim of this turmoil.

She suddenly became angry and turned to look at those people who were his fellow disciples. After hearing the reason, the so-called junior sisters and brothers burst into tears. His master also covered his head in pain, looking extremely regretful and in pain.

"Why?" she asked him sadly.

"This is the only thing I can decide." He replied in a voice that only Jiang Tingwan and Mu Yunzhong could hear, "Mu Yunzhong, I envy you, so it's enough for me to die here."

His words were undoubtedly telling Mu Yunzhong not to say anything.

"So, you admit that this matter was planned by you and Wen Bushian alone?" Su Ming asked again to confirm.

Shen Zhui turned around and said, "Yes."

Su Ming took a deep breath and pronounced a sentence to the crowd: "Shen Zhui, the abandoned disciple of Cang Yu Sect, colluded with the evil spirits and disrupted the trial meeting, causing hundreds of disciples to die in Wuji Abyss. His crime is unforgivable. Therefore, 49 soul-destroying nails will be used to pierce his flesh and bones as a warning to others."

As the name suggests, the Soul-Stirring Nail can destroy the soul and crush the bones. If one cannot withstand this punishment, the deceased will not be reborn.

Shen Zhui opened his arms, and the chains wrapped around his hands and feet grew rapidly, directly hanging him in the air.

Jiang Tingwan and Mu Yun were finally pulled off the interrogation table by a force.

The elder in charge of the punishment waved his sword from the stage, and two or three soul-stirring nails instantly penetrated into Shen Zhui's body, but he didn't make a sound.

Jiang Tingwan's eyes were wet. She was about to rush forward when she was stopped by the law enforcement disciple. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that she was also selfish, and she couldn't say it out loud because Mu Yunzhong knew about it.

But he could even protect Mu Yunzhong, so how could he betray his master?

He was determined to be the only sacrifice.

She couldn't save him, so she could only hope that he would get rid of his principles and tell the truth. Even if Mu Yunzhong was implicated, she would not blame him.

The elder who enforced the law deliberately dragged out the punishment for a long time, obviously intending to let everyone see Shen Zhui's end.

Those soul-stirring and bone-breaking silver nails pierced into Shen Zhui's body, but did not bring about any screams of pain, as if they had just pierced a walking corpse.

Suddenly, a long cry was heard in the distant sky. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant green bird appeared in the sky, heading towards Shen Zhui.

But before it got close, it crashed into an invisible barrier. Shen Zhui saw it, whistled a whistle that only the bluebird could understand, and a flash of blue appeared in his eyes.

The bluebird in the sky circled above Shen Zhui's head, wailing in pain, just when everyone thought it was about to leave.

The blue bird swooped down and hit the barrier again, wailing sadly, over and over again without stopping.

"Go!"

Shen Zhui, who had been hit by more than thirty soul-stirring nails without making a sound, roared loudly.

But the blue bird still persisted in crashing into the powerful barrier, and was covered in blood.

Such a scene moved many disciples of the immortal sects who regarded monsters as aliens. They had never seen monsters protecting their masters in this way.

Bluebird's behavior interfered with the punishment. Under Pei Xuanzhi's instruction, Su Ming and Xun Zhe attacked Bluebird together. Just when everyone thought the trouble was about to be resolved.

The blue sword light that suddenly appeared moved quickly, not only blocking an attack for Blue Bird, but also breaking through the barrier and cutting off the chains that bound Shen Zhui.

When Jiang Tingwan reacted, Mu Yun had already rescued Shen Zhui and threw him to Qingniao.

And when everyone was about to catch up, a strong sword energy swept across the entire square, blocking everyone's way.

Mu Yun finally stood in front of everyone, as if he was going to die, and said word by word:

"I am the young master of Wuchen Palace, I am the master of Sanshi Dao, and I am also the one who conspired with Wen Bumian. Shen Zhui is just a chess piece to open the seal of the five elements."

He acknowledged all his identities and preserved Shen Zhui's loyalty to the Cangyu Sect.

He walked in front of Jiang Tingwan again.

"This matter was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with anyone in the Sanyuan Sect. As long as the sect is not implicated, I, Mu Yunzhong, will let you deal with it."

He put down Yu Xiao in his hand and calmly accepted the punishment. Jiang Tingwan was shocked by Mu Yun's behavior. When everything was settled, her heart suddenly became calm at that moment.

Even Meng Ziyuan and others standing by were shocked, especially when they heard that he would let them do whatever they wanted as long as it didn't involve the sect, their mood became even more complicated.

Everyone was shocked at Mu Yunzhong's strength, but after they reacted, some people still spoke up.

"Master Cang, did you hear that? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

Cang Shuzi, who was asked, sat in his seat with a serious look, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. Obviously, at this time, the Sanyuan Sect should have cut ties with the Cangyu Sect decisively.

But after the negotiations just now, the leader of the Sanyuan Sect did not seem to have this intention, but he couldn't just go against everyone.

Just when everyone was thinking this, Pei Xuanzhi's voice came, "If this matter only involved Sanyuan Sect, it could be handed over to Sect Master Cang to handle it. But unfortunately, this boy is hiding a secret that concerns all immortal sects."
