Chapter 1027: The Anti-Traitor Conference (Part )

"This……"

Seeing Xie Xuan beating his chest and stamping his feet, shouting at the top of his lungs due to his great grief and anger, everyone present looked at each other in confusion, at a loss as to what to do.

"That..." Qin Ku shook his big head, pretending to be confused and looking around, and said loudly, "Didn't Lord Xie just say... to endure humiliation and live a life of ease, and to serve a thief? This... Qin has been wandering around the world since he was young, and he can't read a single word. He has only read one volume of books. He really doesn't understand what "endure humiliation and live a life of ease" and "serve a thief" mean? I wonder if any elder with knowledge can help me explain what "endure humiliation and live a life of ease" and "serve a thief" mean? "

"hiss!"

Qin Ku pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. He seemed to be acting crazy and stupid, but he turned everyone's attention from Xie Xuan and Yan Bugui to Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao.

Those who could sit here were not fools. Facing Xie Xuan's insinuations, they all understood what was going on tacitly.

Enduring humiliation and living in seclusion, isn't that referring to the nearly one and a half years that Xie Xuan spent in the Xianwang Mansion? He was already the lord of the Xianwang Mansion, and he served the thief. Apart from Luo Tianjin's widow and the current leader of the martial arts world, who else was worthy of his "serving"?
"Palace Lord Xie's words are indeed sensational, but since it concerns the real cause of Luo's death, we have to treat it with caution. Moreover, Palace Lord Xie's lies for no reason...seems to do him no good. Therefore, I assume that Palace Lord Xie's words are true, and there is another hidden story behind Luo's death. But I don't know...what exactly is the huge conspiracy you are talking about?" Jin Fuyu knew that Xie Xuan was targeting Qingfeng and his daughter, but he still pretended to force him to make it clear, "What you said about 'huge involvement, wide involvement, and deep impact'...is it implying that the real cause of Luo's death is related to some 'big shots' in the martial arts world? I am very curious, what kind of 'big shots' are they that even Palace Lord Xie dare not challenge openly? He has to avoid their sharp edge and endure humiliation to survive. Could it be...that these 'big shots' can reverse right and wrong in the Central Plains martial arts world and cover the sky with one hand?"

When Jin Fu Yu said the last sentence, he cast a puzzled look at Qing Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

"This……"

Jin Fu Yu's bold speculation sounds very different to different people.

The Qingfeng faction was very angry at Jin Fuyu's "meddling", but due to the current occasion and Jin Fuyu's identity, they could only secretly be displeased and pretend nothing had happened on the surface.

For Xiao Zhirou, Teng Sanshi and others, Jin Fuyu's words were undoubtedly more beneficial to them in the confusing situation. However, they did not thank Jin Fuyu for his scheming, but became more cautious instead.

Xunzhen, in particular, had begun to wonder how much Jin Fuyu knew about Liu Xunyi, how he knew it, and what his real intentions were.
As for the others, they were undoubtedly becoming more and more confused about the current situation and the delicate relationship between Xie Xuan, Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku, Qingfeng and Jin Fuyu, who were like enemies and friends, and close yet distant.

Gradually, some people with delicate minds began to detect clues in the ever-changing situation and the secretive conversations between Xie Xuan and Jin Fuyu. At the same time, they also slowly realized that this "Eradication of Traitors Conference"... seemed to be completely different from the "Eradication of Traitors Conference" they imagined.

"People in the underworld don't mind small matters, so feel free to speak your mind!"

Seeing that Qin Ku and Jin Fuyu's words were becoming more and more obscure, Qingfeng and Xie Xuan's reactions were becoming more and more weird, and the atmosphere on the field was becoming more and more depressing, Teng Sanshi once again used his deep and high voice to wake everyone from their thoughts: "If the real murderer of Alliance Leader Luo is not Liu Xunyi, then who is the mastermind behind the scenes? Yan Bugui...whose minion is it?"

"She is……"

"Wait a minute!" Before Xie Xuan could answer, Qingfeng, with an expressionless face, suddenly interrupted him, "Master Xie, do you have any real evidence for what you just said? Why do I think it is... pure nonsense? If Liu Xunyi is not the murderer who murdered Tianjin, why is he hiding here and there? Why doesn't he come out and explain himself to the heroes of the world? Does he not trust the heroes of the world? Or... is there something he is hiding? You said that you instructed Xunzhen to help Liu Xunyi escape danger. Does that mean... that you were secretly leaking our plan to hunt down Liu Xunyi? You have been secretly helping Liu Xunyi avoid the pursuit of various forces? In other words, you are the one who supports him behind the scenes to oppose the Central Plains martial arts world? Openly provoking the heroes of the world?"

"So that's how it is!" Gu Yue pretended to be enlightened, and echoed Qing Feng in a sarcastic tone, "Before today, I have always been puzzled. How could a little Liu Xunyi escape the joint killing of various forces again and again? It turns out that it's not that he is lucky, nor that we didn't try our best, but that someone secretly tipped off, causing us to toss in vain."

Gu Yue's words were both sarcastic and inciting. They resonated with many people who had participated in the pursuit of Liu Xunyi but returned in vain, and thus became angry and cast resentful glances at Xie Xuan.

What's worse, some people even started cursing and hurling insults at Xie Xuan.

"Not bad!"

Xie Xuan ignored the chattering crowd and stared at Qing Feng, who had a cold and arrogant face, and said word by word: "From the beginning to the end, I was the one who helped Liu Xunyi escape behind the scenes. It's not that he didn't want to stand up and clear his name, but he was killed as soon as he showed up, and he had no chance to prove his innocence to the heroes of the world. I helped him, not to go against the Central Plains martial arts world, nor to provoke the heroes of the world, but... to prevent someone from abusing power for personal gain and killing people to silence them."

"hiss!"

Finally, Xie Xuan pointed his spearhead directly at Qingfeng. His words, as sharp as a sword, immediately shut up the whispering people and made the noisy streets as silent as death.

"Master Xie...what do you mean?" Teng Sanshi suppressed his inner excitement and asked in the calmest voice possible, "What do you mean by 'murdering to silence witnesses'? What do you mean by 'abuse of power for personal gain'? Do you know who you are accusing?" "Of course I know! Because the mastermind behind Yan Bugui, the main culprit who murdered Alliance Leader Luo, the despicable villain who framed Liu Xunyi...is none other than our highly respected Wulin Alliance Leader, Qingfeng! And of course, there is also his precious daughter... the vicious Ling Xiaoxiao who murdered her own husband!"

"This……"

Xie Xuan's shout, which was almost like a roar, made tens of thousands of people in the martial arts world feel timid and terrified.

Especially the disciples of Prince Xian’s Palace, they were all stunned and looked ashen.

This is such shocking news that for people who don’t know the truth, the word can no longer be used to describe it as “surprising”, it’s simply “horrifying”.

Qingfeng, the upright leader of the martial arts world, the head of the Wudang sect with great age and honor, the upright senior in the martial arts world, the leader of all underworld with both grace and power... turned out to be a cruel and despicable person who murdered his beloved disciple, killed his son-in-law, and usurped the position of the leader of the martial arts world? Was he such a despicable and shameless person?
Who can believe such a bizarre theory? Who dares to believe it?

"How dare you, Xie Xuan!" Qing Feng was furious when Xie Xuan exposed his ugly face in public. The bulging veins on his wrinkled forehead were clearly visible. "Don't slander me without any evidence! What good will it do you to slander me?"

"Slander? Humph!" Xie Xuan sneered repeatedly, looking at Qingfeng with more contempt, "Do you dare to swear to heaven on your eighteen generations of ancestors and all future generations that you are upright and have a clear conscience?"

"you……"

"You don't dare, but I do!"

After saying this, Xie Xuan knelt on the ground with a plop in front of everyone, raised his hand and swore, every word was sonorous: "I, Xie Xuan, swear to heaven that if I have wronged Qingfeng and his daughter, or have any disloyalty to the deceased leader Luo, my ancestors will not rest in peace in the underworld, and my descendants will be thieves and prostitutes for generations, and will never stand up again!"

"hiss!"

Seeing Xie Xuan swear such a cruel oath in front of everyone, the people who were originally half-believing, half-doubting or even dismissive began to waver, and their eyes towards Qingfeng, who was hesitant to speak, became more intriguing.

"Xie Xuan, you..."

"Leader of the Qingfeng Alliance!"

Before Qingfeng could finish his words, Teng Sanshi stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Now, Palace Master Xie swears to heaven that you and Ling Xiaoxiao are the real murderers who murdered Alliance Master Luo. Do you... admit it?"

"Teng Sanshi, don't take advantage of someone's misfortune and add insult to injury!" Qingfeng said angrily, "What Xie Xuan said is completely false. How can I admit it? Are you getting old and confused..."

"Well then!" Teng Sanshi interrupted Qingfeng's explanation without any hesitation, and asked with a hint of meaning, "Do you dare to follow the example of Lord Xie and swear a poisonous oath in front of all the heroes in the world?"

"This is just nonsense!" Qingfeng was angry and his tone became more and more hostile. "As the leader of the Central Plains Wulin, how can I be led by the nose by a treacherous villain who deliberately framed me? I have made countless friends and enemies in my life. If every enemy is like Xie Xuan, and always asks me to swear an oath, then I don't have to do anything all year round, and I swear from dawn to dusk every day. Isn't it a big joke? The authority of the leader of the Central Plains Wulin is given by heroes and heroes all over the world. How can I be provoked by these crazy people?"

"What Alliance Leader Qingfeng said is correct!" After hesitating for a long time, Yin Baimei finally stepped forward and said, "We cannot accuse Alliance Leader Qingfeng of being a hypocritical traitor who deceives the world and steals the reputation based on the one-sided words of Palace Leader Xie. Chief Teng, Alliance Leader Qingfeng is still the leader of the Central Plains Wulin. I hope you can correct your attitude and words and don't rush to make a conclusion."

"Thank you, Master Yin, for reminding me. I was just reckless." Although Teng Sanshi took the initiative to admit his fault, his tone did not show any guilt, but became more and more powerful. "The purpose of today's 'Eradication of Traitors' meeting is to avenge Luo. We originally thought that Liu Xunyi was the murderer of Luo, but now it seems that... things are not as simple as we imagined. Master Yin is right. We can't just slander Qingfeng based on the one-sided words of Master Xie. Similarly, we can't judge Master Xie as lying because of the 'one-sided words' of Master Qingfeng. Both of them are well-known 'big shots' in the martial arts world, and they were the closest people to Luo when he was alive. More importantly, they were both in the Xianwang Mansion on the night when Luo was killed. At present, the two of them have such a big difference in their opinions on the cause of Luo's death, which is really unbelievable. However, since they each stick to their own words and speak with certainty, it is clear that there must be another hidden story. It is impossible for an event that has already happened to have two completely different explanations. In other words, one of them... must be lying."

"I also want to know which bastard killed my good brother. If I find out, I will skin him alive!" Xue Huzi said angrily, "However, since this matter involves our Wulin leader, it is not appropriate to let him preside over justice. I propose that Wulin Vice Leader Teng Sanshi take charge of the situation until... the real cause of Luo's death is revealed, or Qingfeng is completely cleared of suspicion. As for the explanation of Qingfeng and Madam Luo on Luo's death, I believe that all heroes in the world are already familiar with it. Now, we should listen to the explanation of the cause and effect from Palace Master Xie."

"Listen to both sides and you will understand. I agree!" The reversal of the situation made Qin Ku dance with joy and excitement. He couldn't help but express his opinion first, "Thank you, Lord. I hope you can tell us clearly what happened in the Xianwang Mansion on the seventh night of the twelfth lunar month two years ago?"
