I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Chapter 41: Survive in Desperate Situation and Save Allies

"Last words? No, I still have a lot to say, but not to you." Lei Yi's lips curled up into a mocking smile, his eyes looking directly at Killer Xiao, as if he could see through the darkness in his heart, "Don't you want to know who is behind all this?"

Killer Xiao's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "At this point, do you think spreading rumors can change anything?"

"Someone has to make the final decision on what's right and wrong," Lei Yi said firmly, not intimidated by Killer Xiao's threats. "Master Lu is a man of integrity. I believe he won't listen to one side of the story."

"Master Lu?" Killer Xiao frowned slightly, a flicker of uneasiness flashing through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it. "Do you think you can get away with this by removing him?"

Lei Yi ignored Killer Xiao's taunts and turned to look at Dongfang Liuli, his eyes filled with trust and pleading. Dongfang Liuli nodded slightly, and in a flash, disappeared into the night.

Killer Xiao wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Lei Yi, "You'd better pray that everything you do can stand the test."

……

Qingyun Sect, located on the top of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, is like a fairyland.

Dongfang Liuli, with his superb martial arts skills, quietly sneaked into the Qingyun Sect and found Sect Master Lu who was meditating.

"Lei Yi?" Upon hearing Dongfang Liuli's words, Sect Leader Lu frowned, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. "He's in danger right now, and I don't want to be implicated by him."

Dongfang Liuli told Master Lu in detail about Lei Yi's situation and speculation.

After listening to this, Sect Leader Lu was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You said Lei Yi was framed? How is that possible! What he did was witnessed by everyone, and the evidence is irrefutable!"

"Seeing isn't always believing, especially with other lives at stake." Dongfang Liuli's tone was calm, yet powerful. "Lei Yi said he can produce evidence to prove his innocence and who is behind all this."

Sect Leader Lu's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little shaken.

Seeing this, Dongfang Liuli continued, "I know what you're worried about, but please believe that Lei Yi wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. He's risking his life to reveal the truth. Isn't it worth giving him a chance?"

Sect Leader Lu took a deep breath, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "I can meet him, but if he can't produce convincing evidence..."

"He will." Dongfang Liuli said firmly.

It was late at night and Lei Yi was taken to a secret room.

In the secret room, there was only dim candlelight and the serious face of Master Lu.

"Lei Yi, you disappoint me." Sect Leader Lu said in a heavy tone, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Lei Yi took a deep breath. He knew this was his last chance. "Master Lu, I know you have many misunderstandings about me, but I can explain. This is all a conspiracy against the Qingyun Sect, and I am just a pawn they are using to frame you..."

"What a joke!" Sect Leader Lu slammed the table and shouted angrily, "The evidence is irrefutable, and you're still trying to argue! Do you think I'll believe such absurdity..."

"What if I say," Lei Yi interrupted Master Lu, his tone firm, "I have evidence?"

He took out a cloth bag from his bosom and slowly opened it. Inside were several letters and some small change.

"What is this?" Sect Leader Lu frowned and asked in confusion.

“These…” Lei Yi paused, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, “These are…” “These…” Lei Yi paused, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, “These are the secret letters and evidences I collected from the several small sects that were wiped out.”

He pushed the cloth bag in front of Sect Leader Lu. "At first, I thought it was just a simple revenge killing, so I didn't report it. But later I found out that it was more than that. The contents of these letters all point to a mysterious organization, and the martial arts styles of those destroyed sects are very similar to those of Killer Xiao."

Sect Leader Lu picked up the letters, carefully examining them one by one, his expression growing increasingly solemn. The handwriting on the letters was scribbled, yet the contents were shocking. The references to "eliminating dissidents" and "controlling Qingyun" all pointed to a terrifying conspiracy. And the evidence, though humble, was just a few pieces of silver, each one bore a tiny "cloud" character, clearly originating from the same source.

"This money comes from a bank in the west of the city, and the boss behind this bank is none other than..." Lei Yi paused, his tone heavy, "None other than Killer Xiao!"

Sect Leader Lu suddenly raised his head, a gleam in his eyes, "Are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true!" Lei Yi said firmly, "When I first discovered these clues, I became suspicious and secretly investigated Killer Xiao. Who knew he would strike first, forge evidence, and beat me to this point!"

Sect Leader Lu remained silent, reflecting on the events of the recent period. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lei Yi's words were not nonsense. Killer Xiao had only been a member of the Qingyun Sect for a short time, but he had quickly gained Lei Yi's trust. Now that he thought about it, there might be something else going on.

"If all this is true," Sect Leader Lu said, his gaze sharp as a torch, his tone tinged with chill, "then what is Killer Xiao's motive? Why did he frame you and put the blame on the Qingyun Sect?"

Lei Yi took a deep breath and said slowly, "His goal is probably not just the Qingyun Sect, but the entire martial arts world..."

He told Master Lu all his speculations and analysis without reservation. From the killer Xiao's deliberate approach, to his covert efforts to win over other sects, to how he sowed discord and framed loyal and honest people, every step was closely linked and thrilling.

The more Sect Leader Lu listened, the more terrified he became. Although he didn't want to believe it, Lei Yi's analysis and the evidence forced him to confront this terrifying possibility. If what Lei Yi said was true, then Killer Xiao's ambition was truly chilling.

"boom!"

At this moment, the door of the secret room was suddenly kicked open from outside...

"Who?!" Sect Leader Lu stood up suddenly, the true energy surging in his hands, and shouted sternly.

A tall, burly figure walked in from the doorway, a sinister grin on his face. It was none other than Xiao's trusted henchman, Zhao Hu, known as "Bloody Knife." Behind him followed four or five other men in black, each with a fierce look on their faces and blades in hand, clearly well prepared.

"Hey, isn't this Sect Leader Lu?" Zhao Hu gave a forced smile and bowed, his eyes scanning the secret room greedily. "What a coincidence, we actually ran into each other here."

"Zhao Hu, what are you doing here?" Sect Leader Lu asked in a deep voice, with a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Zhao Hu didn't answer, but sneered and turned his gaze to Lei Yi, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Master Lei, my master invites you. Please come with us."

Lei Yi's heart sank, knowing that today's situation would be difficult to resolve peacefully. He glanced at Sect Leader Lu beside him and saw that his eyes were also filled with solemnity. He knew that if he fell into the hands of Killer Xiao, he would be doomed.

"Want to catch me? Well, let's see if you have the ability!" Lei Yi took a deep breath and decided to give it a try. He flashed and pounced on Zhao Hu like a cheetah. At the same time, with a flick of his wrist, several silver needles shot out at the man in black behind him with a sound of breaking through the air.

"You're looking for death!" Zhao Hu roared, waving his broadsword and slashing forward. Lei Yi dodged sideways and struck Zhao Hu in the chest with a backhanded palm, sending him back several steps.

"Master Lu, be careful! These people were sent by Killer Xiao. His real purpose..." Lei Yi loudly reminded Master Lu while dealing with Zhao Hu and others.

Although Sect Leader Lu's martial arts skills weren't as good as Lei Yi's, he was no ordinary warrior. He drew his sword and pushed back the charging black-clad man. His gaze flicked back and forth between Lei Yi and Zhao Hu, a thousand thoughts racing through his mind.

Lei Yi's martial arts were fierce and brutal, completely different from his previous appearances. The ruthlessness in his eyes, in particular, struck Master Lu as both unfamiliar and familiar. He suddenly remembered that when Lei Yi was rising to fame in the martial arts world, he was also known for his ruthlessness and decisiveness. However, for some unknown reason, his temperament changed drastically, and he became indecisive.

"Could it be that he was just pretending?" This thought occurred to Sect Leader Lu, but he quickly dismissed it. If Lei Yi was truly acting, his acting skills were far too good, and there was no need for him to act so convincingly.

"Bang!" Lei Yi repelled Zhao Hu with a single palm strike, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Although he had fought with all his might, two fists were no match for four, and he gradually fell into disadvantage.

"Mr. Lei, you'd better surrender to avoid physical pain." Zhao Hu said with a grin, his eyes full of contempt.

"It won't be that easy to catch me!" Lei Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with determination. He took a deep breath and was about to fight to the death when he suddenly saw a jade pendant hanging from Zhao Hu's waist. The jade pendant was engraved with a lifelike cloud pattern, exactly the same as the one on the silver he had given to Master Lu!

"Master Lu, look carefully at the jade pendant on his waist, but..." Lei Yi pointed at Zhao Hu, his voice trembling with excitement.

However, before he could finish his words, Zhao Hu's expression suddenly changed. He pounced on Lei Yi and roared, "Shut up!"

Zhao Hu's sudden action startled Sect Leader Lu. He had already been touched by Lei Yi's words, and now seeing Zhao Hu so nervous about the jade pendant, he was even more convinced that Lei Yi's words were true.

"Wait!" Sect Leader Lu shouted, and with a flash of his body, he stood in front of Zhao Hu and asked sternly, "Zhao Hu, why are you so nervous? What secret does this jade pendant hold?"

Zhao Hu's expression shifted, a flicker of panic in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "Master Lu, what do you mean? This is just a gift from my master. How can it be a secret?"

"A reward?" Lei Yi covered his chest with his hands, a sneer on his face. "If it really is a reward, why are you so panicked? Could it be that you're afraid I'll expose your master's true identity?!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Zhao Hu was so angry that he swung his knife at Lei Yi, but was stopped by Sect Leader Lu.

"Enough!" Sect Master Lu shouted angrily, staring at Zhao Hu with a piercing gaze. "There must be something fishy going on today! I want to see what your master is plotting!"

After that, he ignored Zhao Hu and turned to look at Lei Yi. He asked in a deep voice, "Master Lei, is what you said before true?"

Lei Yi took a deep breath, knowing this was the key to turning the situation around. He endured the pain, looked directly into Master Lu's eyes, and said word by word, "Master Lu, I guarantee with my life that everything I say is true! Killer Xiao is not as simple as he appears to be. He is secretly colluding with..."

Lei Yi's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present. Zhao Hu and the others' faces changed drastically. They tried to step forward to stop him, but were forced back by the pressure released by Sect Leader Lu.

As Sect Leader Lu listened to Lei Yi's story, his brow furrowed ever deeper. While he didn't completely believe Lei Yi, his suspicions grew deeper and deeper. He knew that Killer Xiao was no good, and now it seemed that Lei Yi's words were not groundless.

"Mr. Lei, do you have any evidence for what you said?" asked Sect Leader Lu in a deep voice.

Lei Yi smiled faintly. He knew that Master Lu didn't completely disbelieve him, but simply needed more solid evidence. He looked around, his eyes landing on a box in the corner of the secret room, a glint in his eyes.

"Master Lu, please look!" Lei Yi pointed at the box and said slowly, "Inside this box is the evidence I want to give you!"
