Chapter 1033: The Anti-Traitor Conference (Thirteen)
"This……"

"At this point, I, Xie, have nothing to hide. I admit that when Alliance Leader Luo was alive, he did secretly collude with the Young King of Qin with the intention of...rebellion. The reason why I kept silent just now is similar to Qingfeng's. It is to protect Alliance Leader Luo's face and to prevent the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion from being implicated." Xie Xuan looked around at the people with different expressions and sighed meaningfully, "However, the conspiracy to rebel has long disappeared with the death of Alliance Leader Luo. I, Xie, have neither the heart to inherit the hegemony nor the ambition to conquer the world, nor the courage to betray my ancestors. . Since the murder of Alliance Leader Luo, I have been enduring humiliation and living in seclusion. I have no time to take care of myself, so how can I protect Liu Xunyi who is wandering outside? Moreover, Ling Xiaoxiao is jealous of Valley Leader Xiao and has secretly sent people to monitor the actions of Jueqing Valley and Xiangxi Teng Clan. I don't want to expose Liu Xunyi's life experience in advance, so I dare not contact them. As a last resort, Xie can only rely on the power of the Young Qin King to protect Liu Xunyi, hoping that he can be vindicated one day, and in the future he can legitimately continue the incense of the Luo family to comfort the soul of Alliance Leader Luo in heaven."

"What a pretentious thing to say!"

Looking at Xie Xuan's sad expression, everyone around him hesitated. However, Gu Yue couldn't help but sneer and teased: "Xie Xuan, if you really value friendship and loyalty, why would you team up with Xunzhen to massacre the Gan family? In order to conceal your tracks and worry that the Gan family would leak the news, you turned evil for your kindness and killed people to silence them. Isn't this just ungrateful? It's worse than a beast! Everyone, Xie Xuan can kill his benefactor. His evil heart, mean behavior, treacherous words, and meanness are enough to see. Such a hypocritical, hypocritical, and hypocritical hypocrite, how can we believe what he says?"

"That's right!" Yin Baimei agreed in a deep voice, "No matter what the reason is, we cannot kill innocent people. Is it that Liu Xunyi's life is life, but the lives of more than a hundred people in the Gan family are not lives?"

"This……"

Xie Xuan felt nervous when Yin Baimei hit his soft spot.

He was not ashamed of Luo Tianjin, Liu Xunyi, Xunzhen, or himself, except for the Gan family in Luzhou... Xie Xuan always felt deeply guilty. In the face of the cruel facts, no matter how eloquent he was, he could not find any excuse to shirk responsibility.

Seeing Xie Xuan speechless, Qingfeng, Gu Ri and Gu Yue couldn't help but show pride. At the same time, Xuanming, Yin Baimei, Zhongli Mu and Tang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

"First, you secretly colluded with the young king of Qin, then conspired with Xunzhen to protect Liu Xunyi, and then used the Gan family to fool the heroes of the world. In the end, the bow was put away after the birds were all gone, and the dogs were cooked after the rabbits died. You boasted that your evil plan succeeded and was flawless, but you didn't know that the net of heaven is long and will eventually expose your true colors." Gu Ri said righteously, "Xie Xuan, in the face of the mountain of evidence, let's see how you can quibble?"

"I……"

"The Gan family's affairs have nothing to do with the Palace Master!" Seeing Xie Xuan's confusion and hesitation, Murong Bai spoke hastily in a hurry, "The Palace Master only learned about the Gan family's misfortune after the fact, and by then the matter was already settled..."

"Wait a minute!" Jin Fuyu's eyes lit up as if he was intrigued by Murong Bai's explanation, and he asked thoughtfully, "So, the extermination of the Gan family was not the intention of Palace Master Xie? But... it was Xunzhen's own decision?"

"This..." Murong Bai was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"If that's the case, Jin has a plan that can prove Lord Xie's innocence and convince the heroes of the world."

"Oh?" Teng Sanshi frowned and asked suspiciously, "What does Master Jinwu have to say?"

"In a nutshell, Lord Xie will personally execute Xunzhen in front of all the heroes in the world to avenge the innocent Gan family."

"hiss!"

As soon as Jin Fu Yu said this, there was an immediate exclamation of surprise.

"That's right!" Lu Tingxiang nodded seriously, "Palace Master Xie keeps saying that he has no intention of joining the Young Qin King. If that's the case, killing the Young Qin King's confidant with your own hands is undoubtedly the most powerful proof. As the saying goes, 'the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid.' As long as Palace Master Xie kills Xunzhen in public, the 'misunderstanding' of the leader of the Qingfeng Alliance will be gone, and the doubts of the heroes of the world about you will also be broken. This method is very clever, killing two birds with one stone, why wouldn't Palace Master Xie do it?"

"This……"

Murong Bai never expected that a word he said in the heat of the moment would be used as a handle by Jin Fuyu and Lu Tingxiang to push Xie Xuan and Xunzhen from "allies" in the same boat to "enemies" who are irreconcilable.

At this moment, Xie Xuan and Murong Bai were not the only ones who were worried. Qingfeng and Xuanming were also worried.

If Xie Xuan "kills the goose that lays the golden eggs", Xun will be killed on the spot. Liu Xunyi and the young king of Qin are indeed enemies, but the advantage Qingfeng gained by using Yuan Xiao and Huan'er will also be wasted.

Once the charge of "surrendering to the enemy and treason" cannot be established, the heroes of the world will inevitably feel sympathy for Xie Xuan and Liu Xunyi. At that time, the situation will become very unfavorable to Qingfeng.

"Xie Xuan, don't listen to slander and burn bridges after crossing the river." Seeing Xie Xuan hesitated, Abaolu glared at him and said angrily, "Don't forget who helped you take care of Liu Xunyi when you were in danger? And who helped you to create the situation today, giving you the opportunity to expose the true face of Qingfeng and his daughter and avenge Luo Tianjin?"

"It cannot be denied that you did have some favors for Liu Xunyi and Xie Xuan, but... the persecution of the Gan family in Luzhou was indeed heinous." Yun Zhuiyue took advantage of every opportunity to instigate, "In the beginning, you slaughtered the Gan family for the sake of the 'overall situation'. Today, Xie Xuan killed you... also for the sake of the 'overall situation'." Seeing that the usually taciturn Yun Zhuiyue suddenly attacked Xunzhen, Teng Sanshi, Xiao Zhirou, Qin Ku, and Xue Huzi were all stunned.

They wanted to speak out to stop him, but then they thought about the current situation and the situation of Liu Xunyi and Xie Xuan. They all felt abrupt and conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, no one stood up to speak for Xunzhen.

It seems that in the hearts of Teng Sanshi, Xiao Zhirou, Qin Ku and Xue Huzi, Liu Xunyi's innocence and honor are far more important than Xunzhen's life and death.

Moreover, the whole thing was exposed because Yuan Xiao defected. Yuan Xiao was a man appointed by Xunzhen, so Xunzhen could not escape the blame for his subordinates' mistakes.

In addition, there is a more hidden reason.

In the minds of Xiao Zhirou, Teng Sanshi and others, Xunzhen took it upon herself to recommend Liu Xunyi as the deputy leader of the "Western Law Wuzong", which was against the rules. In addition, they were all very smart people, and they knew that Xunzhen wanted to use Liu Xunyi to win over the Central Plains sect to serve the young Qin King, so they were very dissatisfied with her "ulterior motives".

Xunzhen calculated every step and never regarded them as his true "one of his own". They also had their own selfish intentions and never regarded Xunzhen as their true "one of their own".

Because of this, when Jin Fuyu, who was watching the fire from the other side, pointed out a way for them to "turn decay into magic", it not only gave Yun Zhuiyue the opportunity to help the Mongols alienate the relationship between Shao Qin Wang and Liu Xunyi, but also made Xiao Zhirou, Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku, Xue Huzi and others waver in their thinking. Even Xie Xuan, who was at the center of the vortex... was somewhat hesitant.

"What do you mean by that, Lord Yun?" Xiao Yang asked unhappily, "Are you instigating Lord Xie to repay us with evil? Are you deliberately making him act unkindly and unjustly?"

"Isn't what you did to the Gan family... repaying kindness with enmity? Isn't it unkind and unjust?" Yun Zhuiyue remained calm and asked instead of answering, "Besides, the Young King of Qin is full of evil intentions and has always been eyeing the Central Plains covetously. He even encouraged Luo Tianjin to plot a rebellion before. For such a foreign tyrant who wants to interfere in the Central Plains martial arts world and occupy the land and mountains of the Han people all the time, why should we be kind to him?"

"Saint Lord Yun's words are very poignant!" Someone in the crowd who hated foreigners couldn't help but respond loudly, "There's a saying that goes 'repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?' Now you want to shit on our necks, and you want us to talk about some bullshit benevolence and righteousness with you? What a joke!"

"Although we are not well-educated, we are not fools who can be manipulated by others. Young King Qin sent people to rescue Liu Xunyi, nominated him as the deputy leader of the 'Western Law Martial Sect', and helped Lord Xie deal with Lord Qingfeng and Madam Luo... How could he not ask for something in return? What is his intention? Everyone knows it well."

"I now even suspect that the conflict between Palace Master Xie and Leader Qingfeng was instigated by that evil woman Xunzhen!"

"Thank you, Lord. If you want to prove that you are not the same as the Young King of Qin, kill Xunzhen immediately to prove your innocence."

"That's right! As long as Lord Xie is willing to kill Xunzhen and Liu Xunyi is willing to give up the position of deputy leader of the Xilu Wuzong, we will believe that you are innocent."

……

For a moment, the crowd was outraged and shouts were heard from all directions.

All kinds of people said all kinds of things, one after another, in an endless stream. Not only did Xie Xuan not expect it, but Qingfeng was also surprised.

The sudden change in the situation caught Hong Si, Lei Zhen and Yan Shun off guard. They quickly gathered their men and formed a pincer attack to protect Xunzhen in the middle to prevent the enthusiastic crowd from attacking them.

Looking at Xunzhen who was gradually becoming the target of public criticism, he turned a deaf ear to the condemnations from all around him, and stared at Xie Xuan who was looking around with his beautiful eyes full of brilliance without blinking.

"Damn it! I've said long ago that the Han people are simply unreliable!" Abaolu's right hand subconsciously reached for the hilt of the knife. He looked around cautiously and cursed with gritted teeth, "We tried our best to help Liu Xunyi 'regain his life'. In the end, Xie Xuan refused to say a single 'fair word' for us. If we had known this, we shouldn't have agreed to help him in the first place, and we shouldn't have risked showing up today. Now we are surrounded by a group of 'tigers and wolves'. If anything happens to you, how can I explain to King Shao Qin..."

"If we don't go to the scene in person, don't see it with our own eyes, don't hear it with our own ears, we will never know who is reliable and who is not reliable?" Xunzhen's reaction was far less panicked than Abaolu's. She looked at everyone calmly and answered slowly and in a low voice, "In fact, I had anticipated the current situation. Even if Yuan Xiao hadn't made trouble, this disaster was inevitable. This is also the reason why I was reluctant to explain to Xie Xuan that the Luzhou Gan family was 'exterminated'. I wanted to take this opportunity to test their bottom line... and Liu Xunyi's."
