Chapter 694: Shame on Myself (Part )

"Seventh Master!"

Just when Murong Bai made up his mind to kill Liu Xunyi, Xu Heng's voice suddenly rang out.

Before everyone could react, Xu Heng had already rushed to Liu Xunyi, knelt on the ground with a plop, bowed to Murong Bai, and said righteously: "Seventh Master, Black Fan... Liu Xunyi once saved my life. When the Palace Master was alive, he often taught us that people in the martial arts world should distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and compare merits and demerits. Xu Heng did not dare to ask Seventh Master to let him go, and even more did not dare to humiliate the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion and the Palace Master's heroic spirit in heaven, so I... I..."

Having said this, Xu Heng couldn't help but show a trace of conflict on his face, as if he had something to ask for but couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Xu Heng, what do you want to say?" Murong Bai was interrupted and felt unhappy. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "You have always been generous and straightforward. Why are you hesitant today?"

"Seventh Master, calm down. What I meant is... Liu Xunyi saved my life, and I have to repay him..."

"What do you mean? Do you want to protect Liu Xunyi? Have you forgotten that the mansion master was killed by him?"

"Xu Heng dare not protect the traitor who betrayed the Xianwang Mansion, and he will never forget Liu Xunyi's evil act of killing the mansion master." Xu Heng suppressed his inner entanglement and said intermittently, "But... I also can't forget that Liu Xunyi saved my life more than once. If he hadn't risked his life to save me again and again, Xu would have gone with Chen Yong and Tang Cong and become a dry bone in the grave."

"So what?" Murong Bai's eyes changed and he asked sternly, "Because he saved you, you want to save him too?"

"No! Liu Xunyi betrayed the Xianwang Mansion and killed the Lord of the Mansion. His evil deeds are unforgivable. I wish I could drink his blood, eat his flesh, and sleep on his skin, so how could I save him?" Xu Heng said with conviction, every word was sonorous, "But... I can't ignore his kindness in saving my life..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Murong Bai was angry and annoyed, and extremely impatient.

After much hesitation, Xu Heng finally made up his mind and resolutely asked, "I dare to ask Master Qi... to kill Xu first, and then kill Liu Xunyi!"

"what?"

Xu Heng's words immediately caused an uproar and shocked Murong Bai. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

"You..." Murong Bai swallowed hard and said in disbelief, "You want me to kill you first?"

"Yes!" Xu Heng said solemnly, "In this way, I can also be regarded as blocking a bullet for him, repaying his kindness in the past, and dying without regrets."

"And I!"

Ling Qing rushed forward and knelt with Xu Heng, pleading fearlessly: "Liu Xunyi also saved my life, I should also take a bullet for him!"

"Us too!" The Liao brothers looked at each other, and then without hesitation, they rushed forward with big strides.

"And I, too, have received Liu Xunyi's kindness!"

"Me too……"

Along with shouts, many disciples from the lower three sects came forward, lined up in a row, and knelt in front of Murong Bai, invisibly forming an extremely determined human wall for Liu Xunyi who would rather die than retreat.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel mixed emotions and tears filled his eyes.

He never thought that even though he had betrayed the Xianwang Mansion and killed their Lord, these people still remembered his kindness in the past and were even willing to sell their lives in order to repay him.

In contrast, his colleagues in the court and the "brothers" in the Tianji Pavilion, who always claimed that they had deep feelings for Liu Xunyi and would never leave him, now seemed particularly pitiful and ridiculous.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I deserve the punishment for my crime. How dare I expect to live..."

"Liu Xunyi, don't overestimate yourself." Xu Heng choked and said without looking back, "We are not saving you, but we don't want to owe you anything! You are a traitor to the Xianwang Mansion. It is the greatest shame of our lives to owe you a favor! If you die before us, we will owe you for the rest of our lives, how can we live happily? Today, the Seventh Master will kill us first, and you will be the next one. In this way, we can not only owe you nothing, but also avenge the Lord of the Mansion. Isn't it great?"

"you……"

Xu Heng's pride and stubbornness made Liu Xunyi heartbroken and unable to control her emotions.

"All of you, get out of the way!" Murong Bai was furious and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you trying to force me to let Liu Xunyi go?"

"We swear to heaven that we have no such intention!" Xu Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Seventh Master, just stab me to death with one shot, no need to show mercy, Xu Heng will die without regrets!"

"You bastard!" Murong Bai was furious. He kicked the defenseless Xu Heng hard, knocking him over. He pointed at his nose and shouted, "Xu Heng, as the leader of the Xianwang Mansion, not only do you not set an example for your disciples, but you pretend to be generous and take the lead in making trouble. Do you still have the master of the mansion in your heart? Do you still have rules in your eyes? You keep saying that Liu Xunyi has done you a favor, but what about the master of the mansion? Doesn't the master of the mansion have any favors to you? I brought you to Lin'an to avenge the shame of the three sects, not to let you play the game!"

"Seventh Master, we..."

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense!" Murong Bai waved his arm, the tip of the gun pressed against Xu Heng's chest, and said in a cold voice, "If you still admit that you are from the Xianwang Mansion, stand up immediately and don't say another word. If you are stubborn and insist on imitating Liu Xunyi to be a traitor, I will not show mercy to you!" "Seventh Master, I, Xu Heng, am a member of the Xianwang Mansion when I am alive, and I will be a ghost of the Xianwang Mansion when I die. Whether you admit it or not, I will never betray the Lord of the Mansion in this life!" Xu Heng's eyes were red, and he said word by word, "But kindness is kindness, and grudges are grudges. I can't erase the fact that he saved me because of Liu Xunyi's sins. Therefore, Seventh Master, go ahead and do it. After Xu dies, I will go to the underworld to explain it clearly to the Lord of the Mansion."

"Please take action, Seventh Master!" Ling Qing and the Liao brothers followed closely behind, closing their eyes tightly, willing to die rather than regret.

"you……"

Looking at the sad, angry and determined faces, Murong Bai was filled with shame and anger, his face turned blue, but he could do nothing.

Just now, what he said were just angry words. Right now, the Xianwang Mansion has not recovered from the catastrophe, there are disturbances in the martial arts world, and people are lurking around. The mansion is in need of people from top to bottom. How could he execute Xu Heng, Ling Qing and other pillars of the Xianwang Mansion just because of Liu Xunyi?
"Liu Xunyi, you are really capable!" Murong Bai laughed in anger, slowly retracted the silver spear, and said with a wry smile, "You are obviously harboring evil intentions and plotting ill, but you can still buy people's hearts and make the disciples in the mansion willingly die for you..."

Ling Qing looked bitter and explained: "Seventh Master, we are not..."

"Forget it!" Murong Bai seemed not to want to listen to their explanation, and waved his hands weakly, "The Palace Master has carefully cultivated you for many years, but in the end, it can't compare to Liu Xunyi's small favors. Oh, if the Palace Master knew about this in the afterlife... I'm sure he would be heartbroken."

"Seventh Master..."

"Liu Xunyi, your conspiracy succeeded once again." Murong Bai stared at the uneasy Liu Xunyi with complicated eyes, teasing, "You know very well that I can't kill them because of you, and I can't bypass them and kill you directly... Never mind, today they just saved your life, from now on, they owe you nothing. But next time, I will kill you!"

"Seventh Master..."

Xu Heng, Ling Qing and others suddenly raised their heads, their eyes filled with tears, not knowing what to say.

"Liu Xunyi, you...get out!"

"Seventh Master, don't be embarrassed!"

When Murong Bai was feeling disheartened, Liu Xunyi's voice suddenly rang out.

Under the astonished and suspicious gazes of Murong Bai, Xu Heng and others, Liu Xunyi actually drew his sword from its sheath and put it around his neck without thinking.

Seeing this scene, Xu Heng and Ling Qing were both shocked and shouted subconsciously: "Hei Zhishan, what are you doing..."

"No need to say more!" Liu Xunyi was relieved and said with a smile, "Being able to see your righteous act just now before dying, Liu Xunyi is very moved and deeply relieved. I will definitely smile in my grave. As for the favors and favors you owe me, you have already paid them all back to me at that moment. From now on, I owe you nothing, and you don't have to worry about it in the future."

"Black fan..." Ling Qing burst into tears, feeling extremely complicated.

"Now, it's my turn to repay the debt I owe to the Mansion Master." Liu Xunyi's eyes were filled with tears, but his tone was very happy, "After I die, please ask Master Qi to chop off my head and send it to the Mansion Master's grave for worship..."

"I will!" A flash of surprise passed through Murong Bai's mind. At this moment, his expression was solemn and his words were cold, but his voice could not hide a slight tremor.

"In this life, being able to join the Xianwang Mansion and make friends with the Mansion Master and all of you is the greatest blessing in my life!" Liu Xunyi laughed bitterly, "In the next life, Xunyi will work like a slave and repay the Mansion Master and all of you for your kindness!"

"The Black Fan..."

As soon as he finished speaking, amid the confused exclamations of the crowd, Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he slashed at his own throat with the sword in his right hand.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, a sharp force came down from the sky and hit Liu Xunyi's wrist squarely. The huge internal force made his palm numb, and his five fingers loosened slightly. The Wuji sword flew out of his hand uncontrollably, leaving a shocking bloody gash on his jaw.

"A man of honor stands between heaven and earth. If he does not think of striving for strength and lofty aspirations, but instead becomes listless and wishes to die, wouldn't he be ashamed of the heavens and earth? Ashamed of what he has learned in his life? Even more ashamed of his seven-foot-tall body?"

Accompanied by a burst of righteous teachings, an agile figure broke through the air and instantly flew over the archway on the corner of the street. Like a ghost, it left a trail of afterimages in the air and flew down beside Liu Xunyi in the blink of an eye.

He is eight feet tall, strong and upright, like a mountain, standing proudly.

Although it was just a back view, the familiar blood-shadow knife on his waist was enough for Liu Xunyi to identify this person. In an instant, his face was filled with surprise, joy, shame, and ashamed, and he was extremely stunned and shocked.

"Brother Su, why are you in Lin'an City?"
