quarreling?

As soon as the words were finished, several people rushed in from the door in a hurry. They couldn't care less about being surprised when they saw Yue Qilan, and they were anxious to get in and take them out.

Zixi sat on the ground with her arms folded and stared at them.

"Mo Zixi, the elder said that if we don't take you out, we will be punished!" The leader gave an order, and several Xiaoyao disciples with livid faces came to pull him.

Chu Rui helped his forehead, and went to pick him up: "Okay, Zixi, let's go out with them."

Now that Chu Rui had already spoken, Zixi couldn't say anything more, he grabbed Chu Rui's arm and walked out of the room with him, asking in a low voice: "Chu Ruirui, what did that woman mean just now?" ? Have you sent rescuers?"

Chu Rui smiled without saying a word.

As one of the main peaks of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect, Wangjun Mountain has a very large scale of buildings. The bamboo buildings with dark blue eaves are lined up and hidden in the white clouds, solemn and quiet.

The interrogation stand was set up on the round platform outside the Qiankun Hall in Wangjun Mountain, surrounded by disciples of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect. The bluestone road below was piled up crookedly from the foot of the mountain. People saw him being brought up. A road diverged, and Zixi looked at this familiar scene, as if the scene from that year was still vivid in his memory.

The blade of the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

Mo Zixi's body fell backwards, and he chose to end his life.

This is the place where he accidentally injured the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect after the battle with Qin Zihuan back then. As if seeing the scene where he had died, Zixi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and the hand that grabbed Chu Rui unconsciously tightened some.

"Don't look." Sensing his nervousness, Chu Rui quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The scene in front of him came to an abrupt end.

Zixi's eyes were covered by his big hands, and her mood had gradually begun to calm down.

I thought that after dying so many times, I should be able to face death without any emotion, just like I was once Mo Ran, but I am no longer like this.

He began to fear death instinctively.

Not because of the real fear of death, the fear of life fading away, but because of the fear of leaving him and being alone again.

Since this life is inseparable from each other, it seems that only death can separate them.

Zixi told herself that no matter what, they could not let each other get close to death.

Whether it's himself or Chu Rui.

On the interrogation stand, a red dress stands out on the plain and elegant white high platform, facing the three people in front of her, forming a stark contrast, as if she alone is enough to cover the three people.

The aura directly crushed the people sitting and drinking tea behind him.

Zixi and Chu Rui were brought to the center of the interrogation platform, and they saw Nie Hongling who was a few meters away from them at a glance, and subconsciously waved at her: "Senior sister——"

Nie Hongling tossed her braids back, heard Zixi's cry, and snorted.

Seeing her stare, Zixi was still in high spirits, and was about to walk over when the strong man behind him kicked him on the knee, Zixi yelled in pain, and gave the strong man a look.

Chu Rui didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly pulled him to his knees.

Seeing how she was kneeling beside him, and seeing the cold expression on the face of the person behind her, Zixi couldn't help feeling disgusted with him, and said, "Chu Ruirui, don't we look like we are visiting the hall?" ah?"

The strong man behind him froze.

Chu Rui laughed out loud: "Just as long as you're happy."

Zixi glanced at the burly man's expression turning green and turning white, feeling extremely happy.

"Master Nie, your junior brother intends to protect the villain Mo Zixi, what else do you have to say?" One of the three elders on the stage finally spoke, and the sonorous and forceful voice came to Nie Hongling's word for word. ear.

She sneered and didn't answer.

Zhang Bing and the old man, who were drinking tea and watching a play behind them, saw the serious expressions of the people on the stage, and immediately started chatting in front of the three of them.

They just left him hanging out.

The elder was furious, and directly turned to Lin Zihe, the head of the side, and Xu Changan, the head of the Wangjun Mountain of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect, and said: "The evil that Mo Zixi did a few years ago is disgusting. I think that he deserves the death penalty!"

Xu Chang'an paused for a moment, and said: "Elder, this remark is wrong. Although Nephew Mo...killed his uncles, he also committed suicide to make amends. This is inappropriate...Chang Le will not agree of."

"But he colluded with Tianyin." The elder pointed to Zixi's nose: "It is because of collusion with Tianyin that he became like this, and he hurt Xuanqing and the others a few days ago. He has no regrets for such behavior!"

Xu Changan on the side listened to his words, scratched his long beard, and said in a calm manner: "Elder, please be safe and don't be impatient. According to what Changle said before he was alive, the Heavenly Forbidden Art on Nephew Mo's body is meant to be used in conjunction with all kinds of people." It refers to the fact that the demon lord was infected after the fight, and the former Qingfeng Hall Master can also testify that it is too impatient to conclude based on rumors alone."

The old man understood and nodded towards Xu Changan.

Upon hearing this, the elder had no choice but to sit down obediently, still saying, "Sect Leader, what is your opinion?"

Lin Zihe, who was originally looking at the group of people below indifferently, turned and slowly looked at Zixi, who was kneeling and staring at him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said, "Although Junior Brother Zixi...is infected with the forbidden technique because Tianyin taught Baizhi Because of the Demon King, but after he became infected with this technique, he did evil things, even killed his own masters and uncles, and later injured a group of disciples in Fengwu Mountain, so he is still on the list of villains in my Wangjun Mountain."

After a pause, he looked at Zixi with an abyss-like look in his eyes: "Since I'm still on the list of villains, I, Lin Zihe, as a member of Wangjun Mountain, naturally feel that this person should be punished."

There was an uproar from below.

"Finished?" Nie Hongling raised her eyes.

Although it was a light tone, it was enough to add the voices of countless people's discussions to the ears of the three people in front of them. The crowd finally fell silent, and Nie Hongling waved her hands: "It's a joke, the person I was living in was brought here for trial by you." , Do you really think you are the emperor's father?"

"I've said it so many times that I'm tired." She said, "Mo Zixi is already someone I sent, and Wang Junshan put him on the list of villains, which is against Fu Shengsheng."

"Why don't you send someone to get rid of him directly, instead of having a trial by the three masters?"

After listening to her words, everyone looked at the three people on the stage one after another, as if they were waiting for their answer.

Zixi leaned her head on Chu Rui's body and asked him, "Why?"

"The Xiaoyao Sword Sect used to deal with the villains in their sect like this. Lin Zihe valued the face of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect, but he couldn't restrain his desire for the power of forbidden arts."

Chu Rui answered him in a low voice: "Qin Zihuan is unreliable at Tianyin. He probably didn't want to bring you back at the beginning, but led you to Jueming Ridge to turn you into a real Tianyin soldier."

Turn him into the second Liu Changle.

The same is true for forcing Hua Ruo to develop the puppet technique as a high priest. With Hua Ruo's hand, he got rid of Qin Zihuan and successfully controlled Zixi. Then he happened to be seen by a group of Xiaoyao Sword Sect disciples who came and thought that Mo Zixi was hurting Zixi. His own senior brother.

In this way, even if Mo Zixi told the truth, a group of people would not believe it.

It's just that Hua Ruo, who thought he was in the palm of his hand, temporarily tampered with the method of blood sacrifice and became the master of the puppet art, which caught him by surprise.

Caught off guard, he was watched by a group of people from the Xiaoyao Sword Sect, so he had no choice but to take him back for 'trial', justifiably brought Mo Zixi back, and then convicted him, anyway, Mo Zixi lost his internal strength, so the two of them couldn't escape.

Thinking of this, Chu Rui finally understood the reason why Lin Zihe didn't kill him, because the last level of insanity is to kill his beloved, to the point of killing without blinking an eye.

It's really shocking to be so deliberate here.

Today... let's end this matter.

"Mo Zixi is a member of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect for a day, and he will be a member of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect forever." Lin Zihe's voice was still faint: "Master Nie... came to our Xiaoyao Sword Sect on purpose today to make a big fuss. how?"

Nie Hongling looked at him coldly: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement today, Master Lin, you came to rob me once in my life, and I will rob once today, so we're even."

After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "We who live in a free life don't have the turn to teach you a lesson."

Seeing that swords were about to be drawn and a big battle was imminent, Chu Rui, who had been kneeling beside Zixi silently, smiled and spoke to Nie Hongling.

"Senior sister, wait a minute."

Everyone looked at him one after another.

Chu Rui's current appearance is indeed a bit embarrassing. Originally, the white hem of his clothes was stained with blood at the Tianyin Altar. It looked shocking, but his eyes were still piercing.

"Master Lin." He said, with frost in his eyes: "I have some doubts about Master Lin sitting here to hear the trial. A few days ago, you went to Tianyin to arrest Zixi and me. Not too coincidental."

When Nie Hongling heard him speak, she took a scroll from Zhang Ping's hand and shook it open. It was densely written on it.

Everyone didn't understand her actions, so they heard Chu Rui say, "Master Lin, do you really think that Chu hasn't found anything in the past five years?"

Zixi looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Zihe narrowed his eyes: "Master Chu, it is not I, but Mo Zixi who is on trial today..."

"Yes." Chu Rui said: "But you have been against me, and I will accompany you to the end."

As soon as the words were finished, a breeze suddenly blew on the interrogation platform, and Zixi was surprised that her internal strength was slowly recovering. Seeing that Nie Hongling picked up the scroll, everyone raised their eyes and was about to read it.

"Tianyin... Xiaoyao... made a blood oath today." Nie Hongling raised her eyebrows, showing disdain in her eyes: "Master Lin, when did the Xiaoyao Sword Sect and Tianyin make a blood oath?"

The expressions of the three people in front of him were all different, and the elder was obviously taken aback: "Where did you get the thing that said that the head and Tianyin colluded, it must be a forgery."

"I didn't say that Sect Leader Lin colluded with Tianyin." Nie Hongling changed the subject and raised her eyes arrogantly: "The name here... seems to be you."

The people under the high stage broke out into an uproar.

"How is it possible?" The elder was obviously very angry. When Zixi heard about this plot of framing, she quickly laughed and stepped in: "Elder... it is obvious that someone betrayed you..."

"It must be fake! What do you have..."

"Wait a minute." Xu Changan pinched his forehead and walked down the high platform to look at the scroll in Nie Hongling's hand. The old man also raised his head to see what happened. A group of people studied for a while, and Xu Changan's eyes were obviously stained with anger: " Chang Yi, it's your handwriting... how do you explain it!"

The elder froze for a moment, then glanced at Lin Zihe.

Lin Zihe raised his eyes to look at him, smiled, and said to Xu Changan, "Master... such a scroll of Master Uncle's affairs can't show anything. Today is Junior Brother Zixi who is in charge of the trial."

"Can't we interrogate together?" Zixi smiled evilly: "Elder, so you and I are on the same team?"

"Who is with you?" The elder shouted and pointed at Lin Zihe: "I didn't expect..."

Lin Zihe raised his eyes, his eyes turned cold.

"Master Lin, your faction is really good at harboring all kinds of vicious people related to Tianyin." Nie Hongling smiled slightly, her tone full of sarcasm: "Isn't this comparable to my sect? Tianyin has a good relationship, now it seems that the Elder and Tianyin have a good relationship..."

sow discord.

"Chang Yi, don't you want to explain clearly?" Xu Chang'an asked him.

The crowd looked at him blankly.

"Who is the head of the Xiaoyao Sword Sect? What can I do if I'm just an elder?" The elder pointed at Lin Zihe: "He ordered me... I have no other choice!"

Zixi said in a clear voice: "Should I call you... Lin Zihe? Or senior brother?"

"Or the new leader of Tianyin Sect?" Chu Rui said indifferently.

Lin Zihe showed a embarrassed expression: "It's really..."

Hearing what he said, Chu Rui glanced at Nie Hongling. The senior sister understood and shook the scroll. There were indeed densely packed characters on it, but they were all ancient poems.

It's not a promise made by Xiaoyao and Tianyin at all.

The crowd broke out into an uproar again.

Chu Rui smiled: "Elder, if that's the case, do you still want to cover up Sect Master Lin?"

Such a tacit understanding of framing, he has only seen this pair of siblings make such a smooth flow, and it is still under the premise that Lin Zihe was tricked by Hua Ruo before, and he was seriously injured and could not directly kill the elder with a palm , Zixi couldn't help but want to make fun of Lin Zi and this pig teammate.

"Yes, the collusion between Tianyin and Xiaoyao was done by the head of the sect alone." The elder said slowly.

To be honest, the elder couldn't hold his breath when he was so framed and didn't know what other people were holding.

"I spent a lot of time finding out that Tianyin may have some dirty deals with Xiaoyao. Later, Tianyin's new faction rose up, and all those old faction people were slaughtered. There is no one in Tianyin who knows the truth." Chu Rui smiled. : "Every leader of Tianyin took office in the past, he would make a blood oath and imprint Tianyin's mark on himself..."

"If Sect Leader Lin is willing to prove his innocence." Chu Rui waved his hand, and still used the final trump card: "That would be great."

After a pause, Chu Rui said again: "Or... let's find out the high priest of Tianyin and confront him?"
