Chapter 1048: The Anti-Traitor Conference (Twenty-eight)

As the old saying goes, "A thousand-mile embankment can be breached by an ant hole. A hundred-foot-tall room can be burned down by a spark of fire."

For a man of the underworld who values ​​reputation and credibility more than his life, the ambiguous relationship between Qingfeng and Yun Zhuiyue alone is enough to destroy the glorious image of "keeping one's word" and "doing things within the rules" that he has worked hard to build up over decades.

Qingfeng should never, ever use Yun Zhuiyue's "double-edged sword" to build a bridge for himself.

Qingfeng had always been extremely cautious about this fatal hidden danger. According to his original idea, he would never easily reveal Yun Zhuiyue's trump card unless it was absolutely necessary. This was also the reason why he only mentioned Qin Wei when he nominated a witness just now, but did not mention Yun Zhuiyue at all.

What I am afraid of is adding unnecessary details and creating unnecessary variables.

But Qingfeng never expected that before he made up his mind to drag Yun Zhuiyue into the water, he would take the initiative to tear off the "fig leaf" and jump out to stand up and cheer for him.

Qingfeng believed that Yun Zhuiyue would not want to make her relationship with him public because of Xiao Zhirou's feelings. Therefore, when Yun Zhuiyue stepped forward without warning, Qingfeng was inevitably caught off guard, and was confused and unable to sort out the pros and cons in a short period of time.

The funny thing is that before Qingfeng could figure out the situation, Gu Ri and Gu Yue, who claimed to be confident, had already joined forces with Yun Zhui Yue, dragging the hesitant Qingfeng into an embarrassing situation from which there was no turning back.

At that time, Qingfeng would be slapping himself in the face if he wanted to regret it. In addition, Yun Zhuiyue's pretentious "bargaining" and Teng Sanshi, Xiao Zhirou and others' serious "righteous indignation" made Qingfeng in a dilemma. The uneasy Qingfeng believed it and unknowingly stepped on Yun Zhuiyue's pirate ship. From then on, he had no chance to retreat unscathed. He could only go all the way to the end, and finally ended up in an embarrassing situation of being unable to get off the tiger.

As the saying goes, "A wise man makes many plans, but he is bound to make mistakes." Qingfeng was very shrewd and wanted to use Yun Zhuiyue to save a trick for himself, but he was too clever for his own good. Instead of playing with Yun Zhuiyue, he was left speechless by his tricks.

Qingfeng was so ashamed and angry that he shot himself in the foot, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At this moment, Qingfeng knew that no matter how he argued, he could not reverse the situation that was almost certain to happen, and it was even more impossible to dispel the doubts in everyone's minds.

After all, everyone had witnessed how well he and Yun Zhuiyue hit it off, and to go back on his word at the last minute... was truly embarrassing.

"Ha ha……"

Just as Xie Xuan, Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku, Xue Huzi and others were relentless and chasing after them, Qingfeng who was in the center of the vortex suddenly laughed towards the sky, which made everyone with different thoughts startled and look astonished.

"Well, well, well! You are such a fake and treacherous Yun Zhuiyue. I never thought that even I could be fooled by you." Qingfeng forced a smile, but his words were not sincere. "Just for a woman you can never get, you are willing to abandon your own safety and the future of the sect. I admire you! I really admire you!"

"So, you admit that you colluded with Saint Master Yun in advance?" Xunzhen waited for an opportunity to ask.

"So what? As the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world, I have the greater good in mind. Not only do I forgive the notorious Yun Zhuiyue, but I also give him a chance to turn from evil to good. What's the problem?" Qingfeng sneered nonchalantly, "It's a pity that Yun Zhuiyue has lost all conscience and is stubborn. He doesn't know how to cherish the opportunity I gave him. He is determined to collude with Liu Xunyi, Xie Xuan, Teng Sanshi, and Xiao Zhirou, and seek his own death..."

"Qingfeng!" Teng Sanshi glared at him and rebuked him harshly, "You are about to die, do you think anyone will believe your nonsense? I advise you to take the initiative to admit your guilt, surrender yourself, and stop resisting in vain."

"I should be the one giving you this!" Qing Feng straightened his face and said in a deep voice, "In the final analysis, you are all birds of a feather. No matter how many schemes and tricks you come up with, you cannot erase the fact that you are colluding with foreign races. Do you think you can confuse people with your eloquence? Do you think you can ruin my show by being clever? Do you really think all heroes in the world are blind?"

Having said this, Qingfeng ignored the people who were looking at each other in bewilderment and walked directly to Xuanming, Yin Baimei, Zhonglimu and Tang Yuan. He bowed his hands and asked righteously, "It is useless to say more now. The four of you are willing to take the lead and set an example for the heroes of the world, and lend a hand to me to catch these traitors who are colluding with foreign countries? Protect our Central Plains martial arts world from being harassed by foreign races? Defend our Chinese orthodoxy from being persecuted by barbarians?"

"This……"

Don't be fooled by Qingfeng's high-sounding words. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qingfeng's actions are already extremely angry and even desperate. He wants to take advantage of the fact that he still has a little prestige and mobilize all the forces he can mobilize. Under the banner of "Leader of the Martial Arts World", in the name of "punishing evil and eliminating evil", he will fight Liu Xunyi and his gang to the death.

After all, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation will be for Qingfeng.

Once all the heroes in the world believe the "instigation" of Liu Xunyi and his gang, causing Qingfeng to lose his position as the leader of the martial arts world, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.

Although this is a gamble concerning life and death, and the outcome is unknown, and although Qingfeng is extremely reluctant to resort to this desperate measure, and even more unwilling to risk his own life in a fight with them, but at least... now he still has the strength to fight, and still has a chance to turn defeat into victory, so as not to end up in disgrace and wait for death.

Qingfeng thought clearly that the worst outcome today was death. But at least he could go down in history, earn a good reputation for himself, and leave Wudang with a chance to prosper forever.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can command the heroes as the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world and launch a crusade against Liu Xunyi and his gang to "defend justice, punish evil and eliminate evil."

The four words "legitimate" are the fundamental reason why Xie Xuan tried his best to stop Liu Xunyi from acting on impulse and tried every means to compete with Qingfeng in wits and courage.

Qingfeng originally thought that Qin Wei and Yun Zhuiyue could prove Liu Xunyi's "unforgivable crime", but unexpectedly the situation changed again and again, not only did he lose his advantage, but he also showed his declining trend.

At this moment, Qingfeng has little chance to "laugh last". If he continues to hesitate and try to "convince others with reason", the next step... he is likely to lose his last bargaining chip. By then, even if he wants to fight to the death, he will probably be powerless.

As for the last bargaining chip held by Qingfeng, it was nothing more than the ambiguous relationship between Liu Xunyi and Shao Qin Wang.

The most important thing is that Xunzhen, who is so close to him, is the key reason why Qingfeng forces Liu Xunyi to fight with him desperately, and it is also the biggest excuse for him to launch an attack.

It has to be said that in this "Anti-Traitor Conference", both sides were tit-for-tat and used many surprising tactics, which caused the balance of victory to swing left and right and also caused the situation on the Bluestone Square to change again and again. By this point, everyone was exhausted and tired.

Similarly, it was not easy for Liu Xunyi, Xunzhen, Xie Xuan, Teng Sanshi, Xiao Zhirou, and Yun Zhuiyue to force Qingfeng to this point with all their efforts.

The two sides had fierce conflicts repeatedly during their exchanges, which almost led to major changes, but were ultimately restrained by their own reason.

At this moment, Qingfeng, who had fallen into the trap, finally couldn't bear it anymore, so after repeated weighing, he decided to be the first to break this window paper, willing to risk everything to fight Liu Xunyi to the death.

Victory or defeat depends on this one move.

However, although Qingfeng was determined to put life and death aside, his "allies", Xuanming, Yin Baimei, Zhongli Mu and Tang Yuan were in a dilemma and could not decide what to do.

They were not afraid of death, but they were deeply dissatisfied with Qingfeng's repeated concealment.

After all, being used by others is a very unpleasant feeling. Ordinary people would still feel resentful about it, let alone Xuanming and Yin Baimei, who are powerful and in charge of a region?
As if seeing Xuanming and the others' hesitation, Qingfeng frowned and asked again: "Why? Are you afraid? Don't you dare to be enemies with these martial arts scums?"

"Alliance Leader Qingfeng, it's not that we don't obey orders, but there are still many doubts in today's argument. The real cause of death of Alliance Leader Luo has not yet been found out. If we rashly provoke a fight... isn't it a bit hasty?"

"Let's put aside Tian Jin's death. The evidence of their secret collusion with the Young Qin King is irrefutable and there is no way to argue." Qing Feng pointed at Xun Zhen in the distance and said without turning his head, "Xun Zhen is the Young Qin King's confidant. Everyone knows this. Just now, Xie Xuan has personally admitted that he was secretly in contact with the Young Qin King, and Liu Xunyi even openly defended Xun Zhen. You all heard all of this clearly. Could it be that... seeing that the traitors are so numerous and powerful, you feel cowardly and deliberately point fingers here and there, pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

Being teased by Qingfeng in public, Xuanming and the others all felt offended and their old faces turned red.

"What the leader of the Qingfeng Alliance said is very true! Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. We will never kill an innocent person by mistake, nor will we let a traitor go." Gu Ri echoed in a deep voice, "Just now, Xie Xuan wanted to take the blame and die to atone for his crime... Great! If he is really sincere, he can kill the Xunzhen demon girl immediately, and then draw his sword and commit suicide. If so, we believe that Liu Xunyi was deceived and colluded with the young Qin King out of confusion. As for his crime of 'colluding with foreign races and plotting against the law'... we can temporarily not investigate him, how about it?"

"This……"

"I've known for a long time that you were just playing tricks and deceiving the world." Seeing Xie Xuan evasive, Gu Yue couldn't help but sneer, and then took the opportunity to instigate everyone, "Everyone, now you should see clearly who is the upright gentleman and who is the hypocritical villain?"

"you……"

"If making friends with the Young King of Qin means colluding with foreign races and plotting evil, then you will sentence me to the death penalty, and I'm afraid that those who should 'die to atone for their sins' today... are far more than just Xie Xuan and Liu Xunyi."

Before Liu Xunyi could open his mouth to refute, a burst of teasing laughter suddenly came from the air.

Then, a white shadow passed over everyone's head at lightning speed, accompanied by bursts of exclamations. The person suddenly appeared and hovered strangely above the bluestone square, swaying like willow catkins, and slowly fell into the tense square.

"This person seems to look familiar?"

"Yes, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

"I remember now! Two years ago on the top of Mount Hua, this man competed with Alliance Leader Luo and Jinwu for the throne of the leader of the martial arts world."

"Yes! This boy is young and alone, but he can fight against a group of heroes. He showed his prowess at the martial arts conference and amazed everyone."

"I don't know what you are talking about..."

"The most outstanding young man in the martial arts world today, the proud son of heaven who has always been ranked first on the Dragon Elephant Ranking... Wu Shuang."
