Chapter 502 Vow not to give up
"This this……"

Tang Yuan looked at the head in the wooden box in disbelief. His throat tightened for a moment and he was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Everyone, these are the heads of Ren Wuya and Qinggui Banner Master Huyanba." Luo Tianjin said solemnly, "Last night, Liu Xunyi sneaked into the Jade Dragon Palace and killed Ren Wuya when he was seriously injured, thus eliminating the trouble for the martial arts world forever. As for the other disciples of the Jade Dragon Palace, they were all wiped out at dawn today."

After that, a "squeaking" sound came from the sidelines. Everyone hurried to look and saw more than a dozen disciples of the Xianwang Mansion pushing wheelbarrows in an orderly manner, slowly walking to the top of Mount Huashan. On the carts were piled corpses with blood still stained.

Among them are Dong Xiaoer’s brother, Yulong Hall Master Dong Yuan, and Yushu Hall Master Yang Huai.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became extremely solemn. Everyone looked at each other in silence.

"Now that Ren Wuya is dead, the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace is leaderless, and this is a good opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop." Luo Tianjin continued, "However, God is merciful, and there are many disciples in the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace. Killing them all may be against the will of God. Since the culprit has passed away, it is estimated that the other disciples are not guilty of death. Therefore, Luo intends to show leniency to those stragglers and issue a disbandment order in the name of the leader of the Central Plains Wulin, ordering the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace to disband within one month, and the remaining disciples must not do anything that harms the heaven and earth in the future, otherwise they will be punished with a heavier crime and will be killed without mercy. If they encounter stubborn and stubborn people who resist, they will also be killed without mercy."

Luo Tianjin's words were full of emotion and attracted many people to agree with him.

"Lord Luo is really good at taking advantage of others." Qin Ming said indignantly, "We haven't acknowledged you as the leader of the martial arts world, but you want to issue a disbandment order in the name of the leader. Aren't you a little impatient?"

"Palace Master Qin is wrong!"

After finding out the ins and outs of Luo Tianjin's friendship with Ren Wuya, Yin Baimei changed his mind and immediately made up his mind to support Luo Tianjin's words and deeds to the death, so he was the first to refute: "Now that Ren Wuya is dead, Lord Luo did not shy away from the axe, did not refuse fire and water, endured humiliation, and acted on behalf of heaven. In the end, he eliminated a great harm for the Central Plains martial arts world, and his contribution is great. Such a brave, knowledgeable, courageous and resourceful hero, a real hero, isn't he worthy of being the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world?"

"Master Yin is really good at dealing with people and knows how to act according to circumstances." Qin Ming said sarcastically, "Why didn't you defend Palace Master Luo yesterday? Today, Qin only raised a few questions, but Palace Master Luo was not annoyed yet, but Master Yin was furious first."

Qin Ming's words caused laughter from everyone around him.

"Master Qin, is it possible that the death of 'Cripple Swordsman' has made you too sad and confused?" Seeing Qin Ming's rude words, Yin Hefeng, the second elder of Kunlun Sect, immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Be careful of what you say!"

"Humph! A bunch of sycophants, do you think Qin is afraid of you?"

"you……"

"enough!"

Seeing that the conflict between Qin Ming and Kunlun Sect was getting worse, Luo Tianjin hurriedly stopped them and said, "Palace Master Qin is right. Since I am standing here, I have to accept the questioning of the heroes of the world. As long as I have not passed the test of 'virtue', I am not the leader of the martial arts world. Thank you, Sect Master Yin, for your righteous words. I appreciate it!"

After that, Luo Tianjin cast a stern gaze towards Qin Ming and said, "Palace Master Qin, if you have any advice, please speak frankly!"

"I don't deserve your advice, but I have two doubts. I would like to ask Lord Luo to give me some advice." Qin Ming said in a sarcastic tone, "First, although Ren Wuya's death is a fact, the cause of death is questionable. According to Lord Luo, you are trying to get rid of harm to the martial arts world, so you used the strategy of 'using a false pretext to destroy Guo' to play Ren Wuya in the palm of your hand. But in Qin Ming's opinion, Ren Wuya is cunning and sly, how could he be easily fooled? Therefore, I think..."

At this point, Qin Ming hesitated to speak. Luo Tianjin naturally understood what he meant. He was disdainful in his heart, but pretended to be indifferent on the surface and asked, "What do you think, Lord Qin?"

"Qin is just guessing. Whether it's right or wrong, I hope Lord Luo won't mind."

"Don't worry, as long as I dare to stand here, I will accept all doubts."

"Well!" Qin Ming smiled sinisterly, and said, "I think... the real cause of Ren Wuya's death is not as fair and aboveboard as Lord Luo explained, but there is another conspiracy. Perhaps... after you used Ren Wuya, you put away the bow after the bird is dead, and then you killed him to silence him."

"hiss!"

Qin Ming's words were so sharp that they immediately caused a burst of exclamations.

Little do people know that although "punishing evil and eliminating evil" and "silencing witnesses" have the same result, their essence and meaning are very different.

If it was the former, Luo Tianjin would undoubtedly be a hero. But if it was the latter, Luo Tianjin would become a despicable villain.

Everyone present knew this, but not everyone was like Qin Ming, who dared to expose Luo Tianjin's sinister intentions.

"Ha ha……"

However, facing the crowd full of doubts, Luo Tianjin did not get angry but laughed instead, and even pretended to be helpless and shook his head bitterly, and then asked Qin Ming: "Palace Master Qin said that there are two doubts. The first one has been mentioned. I wonder what the second one is?"

"My second concern is, are the rules of the martial arts conference applied equally to everyone? Or are they made based on the circumstances?"

Xu Qingnian frowned, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and he interrupted, "I will answer this question on behalf of Palace Master Luo. The rules of the martial arts conference are to treat everyone equally, and there will be no favoritism."

"Really?" Qin Ming pretended to be confused and asked, "Since we treat everyone equally, then Lord Luo should also be punished for violating the rules of the martial arts conference, right?"

"It's natural."

"Excuse me for being blunt." Qin Ming continued, "According to the rules of the martial arts conference, no one is allowed to fight privately on Huashan Mountain during these three days. Violators will be immediately disqualified and expelled from Huashan Mountain. Is that right or not?"

"Yes!"

"Last night, Lord Luo sent people to assassinate Ren Wuya and to siege the disciples of Yulong Palace. Does this count as a violation of the rule of 'no private fighting'?"

"This……"

Qin Ming's words not only left Xu Qingnian speechless, but also shocked the people around him.

"In order to ensure the fairness and strictness of the martial arts conference, Qin Ming means..." Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, Qin Ming suddenly raised his voice and said righteously, "Immediately cancel Luo Tianjin's qualification to participate in the conference and expel him from Huashan!"

"Hiss!" The successive accidents made everyone dizzy and caught off guard.

"Qin Ming!" Yan Bugui said coldly, "You are obviously looking for trouble on purpose!"

"Qin is just abiding by the rules of the martial arts conference. I have no intention of targeting anyone!" Qin Ming said coldly, "If Lord Luo can be an exception, I have nothing to say..."

"Rules are rules, and no one can make exceptions!"

Before Qin Ming finished speaking, Qingfeng's voice suddenly rang out, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

Hearing this, Qin Ming could not help but hesitate, and said: "Master Qingfeng and Lord Luo are close relatives, the Taoist master is able to see the big picture and consider the overall situation, and is willing to sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice. Qin admires him..."

"and many more!"

Qing Feng waved his hand to interrupt Qin Ming's flattery and said calmly: "What the Qin Mansion Master said is right. If someone breaks the rules, he should be punished, but he cannot be punished randomly. There should be a perpetrator of the injustice and an owner of the debt, right?"

"This……"

Seeing Qingfeng suddenly change the subject, Qin Ming and Tang Yuan were surprised and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"I will answer the two questions raised by Palace Master Qin for Palace Master Luo, because these two issues are closely related to me." Qingfeng said calmly, "First, Palace Master Qin suspected the real reason for Ren Wuya's death. I can testify for Palace Master Luo that he had indeed planned to implement the strategy of 'destroying Guo by pretending to attack' Ren Wuya. I not only knew about it in advance, but also Wudang sent three elders to help Liu Xunyi hold back Huyan Ba ​​and Dong Xiaoer during the assassination last night. Among them, Huyan Ba ​​died at the hands of Wudang."

"Wow!"

Qingfeng's words were plain, but his remarks were shocking, leaving everyone speechless with astonishment.

"Since Taoist Qingfeng has come forward to testify, we naturally believe that what Donor Luo said is true." Xuanming nodded slowly, "Besides, what Donor Qin said is just speculation, without any real evidence, so we cannot use this to suppress Donor Luo's righteous act of risking his life."

"That's right!" Someone echoed, "Lord Luo endured humiliation and lived to eliminate harm for the martial arts world. If we continue to doubt him, wouldn't it be disheartening?"

"That makes sense!" Someone else echoed, "Ren Wuya is dead, and this was witnessed by all the heroes in the world. In my opinion, no matter what the origin of Lord Luo's actions was, he ultimately did a great thing for the Central Plains martial arts community, and he deserves praise from all the righteous men in the world!"

"There is a saying that goes 'A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried'. Some people only know how to talk and sow discord, hoping that the world will not be in chaos. They have no ability to punish evil and promote good. Lord Luo, don't worry about it. We are convinced by you!"

For a moment, the heroes were indignant, and calls for help came one after another, which moved Luo Tianjin deeply. He bowed and expressed his gratitude to people from all directions repeatedly.

On the other hand, Qin Ming and Tang Yuan were blatantly ridiculed, and their faces were gloomy and they were extremely angry.

"But Palace Master Luo has never said that he would attack Ren Wuya during the martial arts conference. Therefore, Palace Master Qin's second doubt also has a reasonable solution." Qingfeng said loudly, "Last night, anyone who participated in the private fight will be disqualified from participating in the martial arts conference and will be expelled from Huashan as soon as possible."

After saying that, Qingfeng suddenly turned around, his shrewd old eyes flickered, staring at Liu Xunyi, whose life was hanging by a thread, with deep meaning, and asked, "Liu Xunyi, did you assassinate Ren Wuya last night under someone's orders?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Xunyi shook his head slowly and said weakly: "Before going up the mountain, the Palace Master only told me to wait for an opportunity but did not let me take action last night. I... acted on my own initiative..."

"Then the other Jade Dragon Palace disciples..."

"I was arbitrary and led people to kill without telling the Lord of the Palace." Before Tang Yuan could ask, Yan Bugui said firmly, "Please ask Elder Xu to cancel my qualification to attend the meeting, and beg the Lord of the Palace to punish me!"

"I am also aware of this, and I am willing to lead all the Wudang people to withdraw from the martial arts conference!"

Qingfeng took the initiative to accept the punishment, so as to avoid being gossiped about and pointed at by others.

In no time, most of the people around Luo Tianjin admitted their crimes and accepted their punishments. When asked, they all said they acted on their own initiative.

Only Luo Tianjin himself was picked cleanly, without a speck of dust.

This kind of pretentious nonsense, which is all in unison, naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of heroes all over the world.

Unfortunately, Luo Tianjin was already very popular at this time, so everyone was willing to turn a blind eye to his mistakes.

Furthermore, there was no evidence to prove that Luo Tianjin was directly involved in the fight last night, so Jin Fuyu and others knew that they were conspiring to act, but they could do nothing about it and could only be secretly angry.

For a moment, there was silence all around, everyone had their own thoughts, and the world was solemn.

"I wonder if anyone else has doubts about me? Please ask me directly!"

Luo Tianjin resolved the difficulties posed by Tang Yuan and Qin Ming one after another, not only turning danger into safety, but also taking the opportunity to win people's hearts. Seeing the general trend and the popular support, he couldn't help but feel proud, and his face became more calm and confident.

"There is one more thing, ahem..."

Suddenly, Jin Fuyu, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said, "Please ask Palace Master Luo to explain it clearly to the heroes of the world, so that no one will say anything about it in the future."

Seeing Jin Fuyu speak, Luo Tianjin's eyes suddenly changed. He suppressed his anxiety and said to himself, "What was supposed to come... finally came."

With this in mind, Luo Tianjin calmed down and said seriously, "I'd like to hear your advice!"

"If you say that Lord Luo and Ren Wuya were just playing around yesterday, I don't know what's going on today, ahem..." Jin Fuyu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said faintly, "Are you and Valley Master Xiao in love, or... having an affair without a matchmaker?"
