Chapter 1026: The Anti-Traitor Conference (VI)
"hiss!"
Xie Xuan's words were like a bolt from the blue, immediately causing a storm among the crowd.
As one of the seven heroes of the Xianwang Mansion, Yan Bugui has always been regarded by the world as Luo Tianjin's confidant. Even though his status is not as high as Xie Xuan, it is almost the same.
Now, Xie Xuan actually exposed the scandal of Yan Bugui assassinating Luo Tianjin in public. To those who did not know the truth, Xie Xuan's move was tantamount to "madness". Not only was it unexpected, but it was also full of strange things, and even gave people a feeling of a quarrel between brothers.
"Thank you, Lord. This is a serious matter. I advise you to think twice before speaking." Tang Yuan hesitated, "Yan Bugui is a disciple of the Xianwang Mansion and the most trusted right-hand man of Lord Luo. How could she possibly assassinate him? What good would this do for her?"
"What Manager Tang said makes sense!" Zhong Limu carefully probed, "Is it possible that...Palace Master Xie and Yan Bugui have some private feud?"
"What? Don't you believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but... I dare not believe it." Jin Fuyu reminded meaningfully, "It has been more than a year since Alliance Leader Luo was murdered. During this period, Palace Leader Xie and Yan Bugui have been living in peace under the same roof. If she had tried to assassinate Alliance Leader Luo, how could Palace Leader Xie have let her live until today?"
"That's right!" Lu Tingxiang echoed, "As the saying goes, 'Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods.' Since Lord Xie insisted that Yan Bugui assassinated Lord Luo, can you produce evidence?"
"According to Palace Master Xie, could it be that Yan Bugui and Liu Xunyi are birds of a feather?" Zuo Hongxuan looked suspicious. "Palace Master Xie, we are not nitpicking, it is really... the crime you have charged Yan Bugui with is too shocking. Moreover, Yan Bugui is dead, and there is no evidence. If you can't produce any real evidence, and can't explain the numerous doubts, then the heroes of the world will... have wild imaginations."
"Thank you, Lord. Most of the people present are righteous people who are shocked by good and hate evil. You don't have to hide anything. You can just speak frankly and explain the whole story. This will save everyone from guessing and some people with ulterior motives from... taking advantage of the situation." Teng Sanshi's eyes were bright and his voice was as loud as a bell. "As for right and wrong... you don't have to say much. I believe that heroes in the world will make their own judgments. If it is confirmed that Yan Bugui really assassinated Alliance Leader Luo, her fate today is her own fault and she deserves to die. But if you are vague and can't explain the cause and effect... I believe that Alliance Leader Qingfeng and everyone present will not let it go and will definitely seek justice for her."
Teng Sanshi's words seemed to be righteous, but in fact, he was secretly urging Xie Xuan to make a concerted effort. Using the wild geese not returning as a clue, he could draw out Ling Xiaoxiao and Qingfeng behind her.
"What Patriarch Teng said is absolutely true..."
"Thank you, Lord!" Qing Feng's voice suddenly sounded, his tone intriguing, "You must think carefully. If you can't produce solid evidence and convince the heroes of the world, I, as the leader of the martial arts world... will never show favoritism."
"I……"
"Hehe... If there is irrefutable evidence that proves that the main culprit who murdered Alliance Leader Luo was not Liu Xunyi, but someone else, I hope Alliance Leader Qingfeng can also be upright and never, never, never show favoritism."
Before Xie Xuan could respond, a burst of silver bell-like laughter suddenly rang out from the crowd who were whispering to each other.
Then, under the heavy protection of Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, Xun Budao and other Western Region masters, as well as Yan Shun, Lei Zhen, Hong Si and other "Western Law Martial Masters", Xunzhen walked through the bustling crowd like a moon surrounded by stars, and strode into the bluestone square.
"She...she is Xunzhen!"
Upon seeing Xunzhen, the depressed and exhausted Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly changed. She struggled to get up from the chair again, pointed at Xunzhen who was neither humble nor arrogant, and said sternly: "They are all Liu Xunyi's accomplices, quickly take them down!"
"As ordered..."
"Let me see who dares?"
Xie Xuan shouted, and immediately frightened all the disciples of Xianwang Mansion, led by Su Tang and Luo Qi. They stood there in a daze, looking at Xie Xuan, whose face was as gloomy as water, and then at Ling Xiaoxiao, who was furious, and for a moment they were hesitant and in a dilemma.
When Ling Xiaoxiao revealed Xunzhen's identity, Jin Fuyu's eyes changed quietly. However, before the indignant Song Yu and Leng Yiyi came forward to "ask for a fight", he waved his hand without hesitation to stop them: "Xunzhen knew that her appearance would become the target of public criticism, but she still dared to show up in broad daylight. I think... they must be well prepared. You should wait and see what happens, and no one should act rashly."
"But she once set fire to the Golden Sword Dock..."
"One thing is one thing, and we can slowly settle our grievances with Xunzhen in the future. But we are not the protagonists of today's 'Eradication of Traitors Conference', so don't rush to be in the limelight, or you will be used by others."
"Master, please understand!"
After hearing Jin Fuyu's explanation, Song Yu and Leng Yiyi gradually calmed down, and at the same time cast admiring glances at Jin Fuyu who remained calm.
"Master Xie, don't you think you are going too far?" Seeing Xie Xuan openly defending Xunzhen, Gu Yue was furious and rebuked him without reservation, "Everyone knows that Xunzhen and Liu Xunyi are in cahoots with each other, and she is the murderer who massacred the Gan family. She dared to show up here in a swaggering manner, which is a great provocation to the Central Plains martial arts world and heroes all over the world. This woman's hands are stained with the blood of martial arts heroes, and everyone in the world has the right to kill her. How dare you protect her without permission?"
"To be honest, Xunzhen is a guest invited by Xie."
Xie Xuan's words once again caused an uproar.
"Xunzhen... is your guest?" Yin Baimei was stunned. "Master Xie, did I hear you right? She is..." "Master Xie must have his own reasons for inviting Xunzhen here. Why don't we listen to his explanation?" Qin Ku pouted and said, "You are talking nonsense here and there, which will only make us more confused the more we listen."
"Master Qin, most of the people here are veterans in the martial arts world. How can you say anything?" Tang Yuan was slightly displeased.
"Don't misunderstand, Manager Tang. I have no other intentions. I just want to know the truth." Qin Ku did not argue with Tang Yuan. Instead, he incited others with a playful smile, "I believe that everyone is as confused as I am by the current situation. I can't tell who is a good person and who is a traitor."
Zheng Songren smiled contemptuously and said teasingly: "At this point, if Lord Qin still can't tell the good guys from the bad guys, I can only say... you are blind."
"What the hell did you say?" Seeing Qin Ku being humiliated, Qin Dahu glared and retorted without any courtesy, "Who do you think you are? How dare you disrespect my master?"
"Don't be angry if we hit your weak spot." Zhang Songyi sneered, "After Qin Ming's death, the Hexi Qin family has lost its talent. Anyone can be the master..."
"Bastard!"
"Snapped!"
This time, before the Qin disciples could get angry, Gu Ri took the lead in expressing his opinion. He shouted loudly, followed by a heavy slap on the face of the outspoken Zhang Songyi, making him dizzy and seeing stars.
"Palace Master Qin is the leader of a sect. How can you be disrespectful and speak rudely?" Gu Ri first scolded Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi, and then bowed to Qin Ku, who was smiling but not smiling. "The Wudang disciples are disrespectful and speak rudely because I didn't discipline them strictly and indulged them too much. I hope that Palace Master Qin will not bear grudges. I will apologize on their behalf!"
Gu Ri's action was not a sincere apology, but he did not want to tarnish the reputation of Qingfeng and Wudang in front of heroes all over the world.
After all, Qingfeng is the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world. If even the Wudang disciples have no rules and regulations, how can he convince other sects?
"All right!"
Teng Sanshi waved his hand impatiently and said loudly: "The 'Eradication of Traitors Conference' is not a farce. We don't have the time or interest to watch you guys argue. Now..."
Having said that, Teng Sanshi glanced past the stern Qingfeng and directly at the indignant Xie Xuan, saying righteously: "It is time for Lord Xie to give a clear explanation to the heroes of the world. Why did you kill Yan Bugui? Why do you say that she is the murderer who murdered Lord Luo? Why did Xunzhen... become your guest?"
Teng Sanshi took advantage of the situation, which not only enabled him to demonstrate his fairness, but also to smoothly hand over the right to speak to Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan sorted out his thoughts and walked slowly to Liu Xunyi. His angry expression slowly turned into bitterness, and his cold eyes gradually turned into sadness. He said word by word: "In fact, the real murderer who murdered Alliance Leader Luo... was not Liu Xunyi. From the beginning to the end, he was wronged... Miss Xunzhen only saved Liu Xunyi from danger again and again because she was entrusted by others."
"Entrusted by someone? Who?"
"I!"
"what?"
Xie Xuan's stone caused a huge uproar, making the curious crowd cover their faces in shock.
"Liu Xunyi was wrongly accused? How... is this possible?"
"Liu Xunyi was a spy planted by the court in the Xianwang Mansion. Later, he was sent by the court to escort the bride to Mobei. These are facts that are obvious to all. How could he be wronged?"
"If Liu Xunyi is not the real murderer of Alliance Leader Luo, then... who is it? Could it be Yan Bugui?"
"If it was Yan Bugui, why didn't Palace Master Xie kill him earlier or later, but today?"
"Madam Luo once personally confirmed that Liu Xunyi was the culprit... No! No! I remember that on the day of the great funeral of Alliance Leader Luo, not only did Madam Luo confirm Liu Xunyi's crime, but even Palace Master Xie personally admitted it. Why did he suddenly change his words today?"
……
For a time, all kinds of doubts came one after another from all directions, endlessly.
"The reason why I suddenly changed my words is not because I am fickle and go back on my words. It is because I... endured humiliation and lived a hard life." Xie Xuan was extremely sad, and his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, but his tone was unprecedentedly firm. "In fact, the death of Alliance Leader Luo... There is a huge conspiracy behind it. The scope of this matter is far beyond your imagination, and it is not something that Xie can change alone. If Xie had not chosen to endure and Choosing to live in disgrace, choosing to serve the thieves... I simply could not possibly live to this day, let alone reveal the truth and avenge Lord Luo... It has been eighteen months since the Lord of the Palace was murdered. I have been suffering all the time, accumulating strength all the time, and waiting for the opportunity all the time... It is for today! When the phoenixes gather and the heroes gather, I will reveal the real culprit who murdered Lord Luo in front of all the heroes of the world. Reward the good and punish the evil, cleanse the filth and promote the good, return the Central Plains martial arts world to a peaceful world, and sweep the world away!"
