Chapter 1035: The Anti-Traitor Conference (XV)
"Young Master, this is the only way to save you from danger and clear your name..."
"When it comes to saving me from danger, who here can compare to Xunzhen?" Liu Xunyi interrupted Deng Quan nonchalantly, saying with a half-smile, "As for clearing my name... that's a huge joke."
"This……"
"Everything that happened today has made me see clearly the fickleness of human nature and the fickleness of the world." Liu Xunyi shook his head in frustration, and his cervical spine made a "crackling" sound, and then he laughed at himself and said sarcastically, "What do you mean innocent or not? Are you really debating about "innocence" in today's "Anti-Traitor Conference"? No! You are assessing the situation, you are weighing the pros and cons, you are forming cliques, you are seeking benefits and avoiding harm... Ha! What heroes in the world? What justice and human heart? They are all lies, empty words, nonsense, and jokes! You are arguing over and over, and what you are arguing about is nothing more than who can act more hypocritically, who is more high-sounding, and who knows more about hypocrisy... A group of people are obviously acting according to the situation, but no one is willing to break this window. Household paper. It is obviously "a swindler" and "in cahoots with the crowd", but they insist on using the hypocritical names of "punishing evil" and "doing justice for the heavens", deceiving themselves... Isn't it interesting? Dare to ask you, if I am not the child of Lord Luo and Lord Xiao, if I don't have the support of a famous sect, if no one stands up to argue for me today, if I am just a nobody without a sect, alone... what will happen? Will you still discuss whether I am innocent, whether I am innocent, and whether I am wronged? No! Definitely not! You will watch me being hacked to death with great interest, and then boast about upholding justice, and then hold a banquet and celebrate, and finally end up with a happy ending. "
Liu Xunyi's words were full of emotion, but also very bold. They made the people around him tremble with fear and smack their lips.
"Just two hours ago, before Second Master Xie stepped forward to seek justice for me, you all put your heads together and actively discussed ways to execute me. Some said cutting me into pieces, some said grinding my bones to dust, some said throwing me into a frying pan, some said leaving my body outside the city gates... Tsk tsk tsk tsk! The cold-blooded mind, the cruel means, the vicious words... It's simply the most despicable thing in the world. If I didn't know that you were heroes of the Central Plains martial arts world, I would have thought that I had strayed into a den of low-class bandits. May I ask you, at that time, have you ever thought about whether I was wronged and waiting for justice? Am I full of grievances? Is there any other hidden story behind the death of Alliance Leader Luo?" Liu Xunyi ignored everyone's reactions and fired at them. He vented the resentment that had accumulated deep in his heart in a string of words, "Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao were full of evil intentions and schemes, but you turned a blind eye. Jin Fuyu fanned the flames and killed someone with a borrowed knife, but you turned a deaf ear to it. Why? You may say that there is no evidence and you cannot make rash assumptions. Well, I dare to ask you, they said that I, Liu Xunyi, killed Luo Mengzhu, who saw it with your own eyes? They said that I was a traitor and sold out my country for glory, who saw it with your own eyes? Why don't you dare to make groundless accusations against Qingfeng and Jin Fuyu, but you can speak about me based on hearsay? Just now, Lord Xie 'unexpectedly' cried out for me and told me about the relationship between Luo Mengzhu and Xiao Guzhu... The origins of my crimes were made public, which led to the generous assistance of Clan Leader Teng, Palace Master Qin, Lord Yun, Gang Master Xue, and even the forces behind them. They were even willing to share the same hatred with me and openly "compete" with Qingfeng. At that time, why did no heroes in the world urge me to be put to death? Why did no one discuss the methods of executing me with relish? Why did the wind direction gradually change, trying to ask Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao for an explanation? From no one caring to Palace Master Xie speaking up for me, to the Xiangxi Teng Clan, the Hexi Qin Clan, the Jueqing Valley, and the Sanyi Gang successively joining the camp to fight against Qingfeng and his daughter, your attitudes and positions are constantly changing. So far, you have seen the 'damn' behind me. The mountain is already a behemoth, and the power of Qingfeng and his daughter is also not to be underestimated, so you never mention the real cause of Luo's death? You never mention whether the argument between Second Master Xie and Qingfeng is true or false? You even never mention the original intention of today's "anti-traitor meeting". Under Jin Fuyu's "kind reminder", you all pointed the spearhead at Xunzhen, whose identity is the most sensitive and whose strength is the weakest. You were filled with righteous indignation and forced Second Master Xie to use her as a scapegoat. The real purpose was not to prove anyone's innocence, but to shift the contradiction and give everyone a "peace of mind" step. In the final analysis, what you really care about is not who is more innocent, but... who is more powerful. "
Having said that, Liu Xunyi cast his sharp eyes straight at Xie Xuan, Murong Bai and Deng Quan, and said bluntly: "Not only outsiders have this thought, but you... also think so!"
"This……"
Liu Xunyi's sarcasm and ridicule made everyone with different thoughts pale with fear and look at each other in bewilderment.
"You may not agree with my point of view, but you cannot disagree with the facts in front of you." Liu Xunyi looked around, with a playful smile on his face, "At this moment, in this situation, I am speaking without restraint, wishing to name and ridicule all the heroes in the world, but none of you stood up to refute me. Why? It's not because you are open-minded, nor because you have compassion, nor because you know how to reflect. It's because you...'are afraid of the consequences', and don't want to and dare not offend Lord Xie, Lord Xiao, and Chief Teng because of me, a 'rat'... You are afraid that 'the tree that stands out in the forest' will attract 'storms', and thus follow in the footsteps of the Gan family in Luzhou."
"Liu Xunyi, don't be so ungrateful!" Zuo Hongxuan's face darkened and he said unhappily, "Do you know that the heroes of the world asked Xie Xuan to kill Xunzhen to prove his innocence, in the final analysis, it was to help you clear your name?"
"What stigma do you want to clear?" Liu Xunyi asked instead of answering, "Do you want me to kill a benefactor who has saved my life time and time again just for a 'false' stigma?"
"Liu Xunyi, you keep chattering here, making a lot of nonsense, it sounds like 'everyone is drunk but you are sober'. In fact, you are full of complaints and making nonsense." Yin Baimei said in a deep voice, "In the end, you just want to protect Xunzhen, and you dare to say that you are not colluding with the young king of Qin?"
"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something. Sect Leader Yin, what benefits did Qingfeng promise you that would make you help him harm me again and again?" Liu Xunyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his scrutinizing gaze made Yin Baimei feel uneasy. "Do you think I still care about the charges you have put on me? Do you think I am still foolishly asking you to clear my name? Do you think..."
At this point, Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and his tone immediately became sinister and terrifying: "Will I continue to endure you wantonly throwing dirty water on me?"
"you……"
"Liu Xunyi, are you crazy..."
"Xunzhen saved my life and gave me a new life. Her blood is still flowing in my body... If it weren't for Xunzhen, would I just wait for you to save me from danger? Wait for you to clear my name? Ha! I would have died a thousand or ten thousand times! Therefore, no matter who it is today? No matter what they think? No matter what their purpose is? Whoever dares to touch a hair of Xunzhen is my mortal enemy, and I will repay him tenfold or a hundredfold!" Liu Xunyi He glanced coldly at Qingfeng, Xuanming, Yin Baimei, Zhonglimu, Tang Yuan, Jin Fuyu, Lu Tingxiang, Zuo Hongxuan, Miaoan and others who all had gloomy faces, and said word by word in an unquestionable tone, "Do you think Xunzhen is helpless and can be bullied by others? Wrong! She is not alone today, nor is she fighting alone. Even though this is not the territory of the Young King of Qin, she has another 'backer' to rely on. Her backer... is me!"
“Crack… Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly condensed, and his wounded body instantly tensed up like iron. In an instant, the wrist-thick iron chains that were wrapped around him were broken by an invisible internal force. With a loud bang of metal cracking, the iron chain was broken into pieces, shattered into fist-sized iron filings, and scattered all over the ground.
"hiss!"
After being tortured for a long time, Liu Xunyi, who was obviously dying, suddenly became energetic and full of energy. Especially the scene where he broke free from the chains with his bare hands was really incredible and shocking.
Among the speechless crowd, the reactions of Qingfeng, Gu Ri and Gu Yue were the most exciting.
They were not surprised that Liu Xunyi turned a blind eye to the scars on his body, but they were surprised that Liu Xunyi had been fed a chronic poison by them, but looking at his current condition, he was not weak at all, but... became more powerful.
Those who knew thought that what they fed Liu Xun under his clothes was a poison that would corrode his flesh and rot his bones. Those who didn't know thought that what they fed Liu Xun under his clothes was the "Ten-in-one Pills" that would nourish his yin and strengthen his yang.
"This……"
"I didn't kill Lord Luo. It was all a conspiracy by Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao. I didn't surrender to the young king of Qin and become the deputy leader of the 'Xilu Wuzong', just to repay the life-saving grace. Those who are willing to believe in me, I am grateful. Those who don't want to believe in me, I won't force them. From now on, I will only do what I should do, what I want to do, and what I am willing to do... I will no longer look at anyone's face, nor will I pay attention to anyone's rumors. Those who have different aspirations and paths can regard me as a shameless traitor, and it doesn't matter if they slander and attack me in every way. At most, we will never have any contact with each other. But! Who dares to harbor evil intentions, deceive people, and try to step on me for fame and fortune... I, Liu Xunyi, will no longer swallow my anger, and I will not show mercy!"
After he finished speaking, a blue-black gust of wind rose from the ground and transformed into a lightning dragon that wreaked havoc around Liu Xunyi, forcing back anyone who tried to approach him.
Zhang Songyi, Liu Songli, Hu Songzhi and Ma Songxin overestimated their own abilities and tried to capture Liu Xunyi, but were immediately blown away by a strong and powerful energy. After falling to the ground, they could not help coughing violently and spitting blood.
At this moment, Liu Xunyi ignored everyone who were timid and stunned, ignored Qingfeng who had a livid face and cold eyes, ignored Xiao Zhirou who was in a trance and tears were streaming down her face, ignored Abaolu who was relieved and ecstatic, ignored Xie Xuan who had mixed feelings, ignored Xunzhen who had tears in his eyes and tightly pursed red lips... His eyes were firm, his steps were calm, he was strong but not arrogant, proud but not crazy.
With one step, the stone breaks into pieces and the ground cracks a foot...
With every move he made, he exuded the power of driving thunder and lightning, with an overwhelming force that made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts and their bodies tense up for no reason.
It is unknown whether the continuous humiliation made Liu Xunyi heartbroken, or whether the near-death experience made him as hard as stone, or whether the vicious internal force he cultivated in the Buried Dragon Pond had a subtle influence on him. Today's Liu Xunyi, both in his mind and in his aura, is very different from the past, even... like two different people.
Especially his flickering eyes, his neither humble nor arrogant words, and his attitude that is both good and evil, all of which make people shudder and feel chilled.
