The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

But no matter what these people think.

Xiao Jianxin finished speaking.

His gaze stayed on the tutor for a moment, then he strode forward and left.

"This, this, this...this is too arrogant!"

"Indeed, I believe this boy has a rebellious nature and will definitely be a hidden danger to our Great Dragon Dynasty in the future!"

"Everyone, to prevent trouble before it happens, why don't we go forward and capture these traitors, so that we don't have to wait any longer and have more trouble?"

"Yes! Caught him! Thrown into the dungeon and interrogated strictly... Caught him, caught him..."

After someone started shouting, the guards followed suit, united as one.

I don't know.

The person who had earlier started to fan the flames was hiding behind the excited crowd, with an evil smile on his face.

"quiet."

Lu Zheng stopped him in a deep voice.

Like pouring a basin of cold water on a pile of firewood, the sound gradually weakened until it was extinguished...

He swept his eyes over the crowd, his mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of contempt, he said sarcastically:

"I am old, but I am not stupid."

"You think this little trick... can be hidden from my eyes?"

Boom——

Lu Zheng's body was surrounded by surging energy, a strong wind was blowing, and his white hair was standing on end. He did not look like a well-instructed teacher, but more like a warrior who had returned to his prime, with a solemn expression and a majestic aura without anger.

The evil cultivator hiding in the crowd thought something was wrong and planned to use the guards as cover to quietly change his position.

But then he moved his right foot.

An old, emotionless voice immediately emerged in my mind:

【So...it's you.】

In an instant, it was as if a heavy rock fell, pressing down on the evil cultivator's chest, making him feel stuffy and almost suffocated.

His knees bent unconsciously and he knelt down on the spot.

"Cough cough..."

The evil cultivator knelt on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You old bastard, you cheated me?!"

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations. No one had ever thought that the enemy's minions had infiltrated the interior.

Many people showed regret on their faces, looking at the evil cultivator with a look of disappointment, feeling both unwilling and ashamed and angry.

This man's name is Li Er. He is a very kind-hearted person. Not only is he kind and generous in his daily life, often helping others solve their problems, he is also a well-known filial son.

Every time he received his military pay, Li Er would save a portion and send it to his wife and mother at home...

Even last night they were drinking together, joking with each other and chatting about life.

But his real identity is actually an evil cultivator!

It’s hateful, really hateful. Not only did I betray the trust of my brothers, but I also deceived their feelings.

Evil cultivators...deserve to die a thousand times, and their death is not a pity!

"Li Er, you bastard, have you ever been treated badly in the palace?"

"How could you go against the grain and allow yourself to degenerate!"

Some people burst into tears and denounced their former friend.

"I joined the army when I was young. When I was very young, my whole family was brutally murdered by evil cultivators. We were left homeless..."

Another person stood up, shaking with anger, looking at Li Er with eyes full of resentment, and roared:

"You said you have an 80-year-old mother, a wife, and a daughter at home. I understand your life is difficult, so I'm asking the higher-ups to give you 10% of my monthly salary."

"This is how you repay me?!"

The voices grew louder and louder, and the guards who knew Li Er well began to accuse him of wrongdoing, but no one begged for mercy for him.

In the eyes of these people...

Evil cultivators can never be forgiven!

Li Er remained silent and did not resist. He just knelt on the cold ground and endured the curses of the crowd.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Zheng stood in front of Li Er, looking down at him.

A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Li Er's mouth. He raised his head and smiled miserably, yet also brilliantly.

"I was already a dying man, and I deserved to be in this state."

"I only regret that I wasn't able to be filial to you by your bedside, and that I failed to live up to the kindness of my relatives and friends, but... I have absolutely no regrets!"

Lu Zheng had a sensitive sense of smell and soon noticed something was wrong. He immediately took action and sealed Li Er's acupoints from a distance, but he was one step too slow.

He could only watch helplessly as the black energy invaded Li Er.

"You are the one who poisoned His Highness!"

Lu Zheng recognized the poison as the "Hundred Apertures Heart-Eating Gu" that Ji Xiaqing had been infected with before, and he couldn't help but feel furious.

"Haha, everyone is responsible for their own actions."

Li Er's expression became hideous due to pain, his skin was festering and bleeding, it was very scary, but in his eyes, there was a sense of relief that he was about to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

He was filled with tears and blood, and his smile was uglier than his cry:

"I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry, daughter... I'm sorry, young master, it's me... I'm sorry... you..."

Soon Li Er's body melted into a pool of blood. He died an untimely death without leaving anything behind.

Puffs of blinding hot smoke rose from the bloodstains.

Such a living person just disappeared from the face of the earth and died right under everyone's noses.

The most important thing is that they did "nothing", and Li Er showed no signs of resistance from beginning to end.

Just like that, dead...

In a hidden corner on the second floor of Zuiyuexuan, the man who witnessed the whole process showed no emotion on his face.

He hid in the shadows, staring at the pool of blood in silence for a long time, then turned around and left silently.

"Clean up here."

Lu Zheng left this sentence.

When he turned around to check on Ji Xiaqing, a gentle and elegant man in white came towards him.

"Master, you have changed a lot."

Ying Yucheng looked at Lu Zheng, who had now become a stranger to him, and sighed sincerely.

However, there was more sighing in his tone.

"Are you trying to say that what I did was wrong?"

Lu Zheng's old face was full of the vicissitudes of time, and he looked at Ying Yucheng with a dim look in his eyes.

"If you think so, then I can't help it."

Ying Yucheng spread his hands outward, looking helpless.

Lu Zheng snorted coldly, but due to his status as an elder, he did not bother with Ying Yucheng, a junior.

He said calmly:

"How's it going? Didn't you fall flat on your face?"

"Uncle Master, I'm tired too."

Ying Yucheng sighed, rubbed his temples, and said with a headache:

"Teaching in the academy is tiring enough, and now I'm given the title of 'Guest Elder'."

"I'm just a humble teacher. If I keep going through all this fighting and killing, I'll eventually break down!"

"Stop it."

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't think I don't know. You behaved like this in Liyang Academy as well."

"You're always slacking off, skipping classes, and being nowhere to be found. Why do you think the dean wanted to place you in the Righteous Alliance?"

"Of course it's to increase extra income~"

Ying Yucheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

"He's hundreds of years old, and he's so dishonest!"

Lu Zheng's eyes twitched slightly, but he had no way to deal with Ying Yucheng, so he shook his head and said:

"You've arrived just in time. Come with me to see how His Highness is doing... By the way!"

"Do you have any plans to accept a disciple at the moment?"
