However, on the other side, Ling Tian looked very calm.
After all, he knew exactly what happened to Mu Chenxue.
At this moment, he raised his head and looked in the direction in front of him, feeling inexplicably more complicated emotions in his heart.
"Destined Fireworks Ox." Ling Tian shouted in his mind.
Immediately, the sacred bull escaped from the ground, and Ling Tian immediately rode on the destiny fireworks bull and left at high speed. At this moment, in the hidden place of the woods nearby, the spies also took action quickly.
Within an hour or two, the Xuanming Sect, the Ghost Sect, the Martial Arts Hall, and even the major sects all knew exactly what happened when Ling Tian pursued Mo Miaoli.
Moreover, even Mu Chenxue's affair with Mo Miaoli was spread out.
At this moment, when everyone in the Xuanming Sect was still thinking about what was going on, Ling Tian's figure appeared in front of them.
"Master, you, you are back."
Zhu Xingxiu stepped forward and bowed. The other disciples also bowed and saluted.
Ling Tian gave a cold hum and strode towards the main hall.
Gou Wenyao, Shen Wanqing, Qiu Zhenghe, Zhu Xingxiu and others hurriedly followed.
Just as Ling Tian was about to sit on the throne in the main hall, Gou Wenyao spoke immediately.
"Master, my junior sister is definitely not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding,"
Hearing this, Shen Wanqing also raised her hands in salute and said, "That's right. Junior Sister is loyal to Master and will never humiliate Master by doing such treasonous things as collaborating with the enemy."
"Disciple thinks so too." Zhu Xingxiu agreed.
"Master, me too." Qiu Zhenghe also expressed his stance quickly.
Ling Tian was indifferent, sitting calmly on the throne and looking at the four people in front of him.
They stared at Ling Tian blankly, not knowing what Ling Tian was thinking.
Is it hate? Is it anger? Still worried
There was no emotional change at all, and it felt like this incident didn't touch him at all.
"Xingxiu, you stay. Others, wait outside."
Hearing this, Zhu Xingxiu's expression changed slightly on the spot. Others also looked surprised.
What exactly is going on
Gou Wenyao, Shen Wanqing and Qiu Zhenghe all left with this look on their faces.
"What's wrong with Master? He looks mysterious." Qiu Zhenghe thought for a moment.
"Isn't Master always so mysterious?" Shen Wan gave Qiu Zhenghe a clear look.
"It's probably because there are other things. Otherwise, we wouldn't be waiting." Gou Wenyao guessed.
Qiu Zhenghe and Shen Wanqing nodded to each other and then waited aside.
In the main hall, Ling Tian stared at Zhu Xingxiu coldly. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Xingxiu hesitated when he spoke.
But he could still feel a strange and subtle atmosphere flowing.
"Evil disciple, what happened back then?" Ling Tian was suddenly furious. The whole person suddenly stood up from the throne.
"How long are you going to hide being a master?"
Hearing this, Zhu Xingxiu knelt on the ground.
A pair of confused and frightened eyes looked at Ling Tian.
"Teacher, master, this disciple doesn't understand. Master please make it clear."
"What did I do for my master back then? Why and how did I do it? And what is my identity as a master? You tell me one by one. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action."
Ding!
Zhu Xingxiu's heart suddenly became tense. It was like hearing some terrible bad news.
"Master, there must be some misunderstanding. Master, can't you recall what happened back then?"
Zhu Xingxiu knelt down and kowtowed, fearing that Ling Tianzhen would do something.
If he really took action, even a hundred of him would be no match for one of Ling Tian's fingers. So, that's all he can do.
"Tell me, what is the truth about what happened back then?" Ling Tian yelled again.
Zhu Xingxiu's whole body trembled, and he quickly spoke.
"Master, don't be anxious. Master, don't be angry. I will tell the master everything."
Zhu Xingxiu quietly calmed down when he saw Ling Tian slowly sitting back down.
"Master, it's not that my disciple deliberately concealed what happened back then. It's that he didn't know how to talk about it or where to start." Zhu Xingxiu looked embarrassed.
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression still extremely cold.
"Speak whatever comes to mind, tell the truth, don't think about hiding it as a teacher."
"Disciple didn't dare. Disciple never thought of hiding what happened to Master back then. It's just that when Master asked me about it, I really didn't know how to talk about it."
"Now is your last chance." Ling Tian didn't want to say anything else. Now it was up to Zhu Xingxiu to make his own choice.
After all, this sentence is straightforward enough.
"Disciple understands."
Zhu Xingxiu swallowed suddenly. Sweat slowly dripped from his forehead.
"Master, I want to ask you, did I really plan treason behind the scenes with the Witch Clan and Demon Clan back then?"
Ling Tian asked very directly. Even Zhu Xingxiu didn't expect Ling Tian to be so direct.
"No, I guarantee this with my life, absolutely not." Zhu Xingxiu said without thinking.
"No?" Ling Tian was a little doubtful.
Although Mo Miaoli was suspected of sowing discord at the time, the matter did not come out of nowhere. Therefore, Ling Tian felt that there must be something key in it that he could not remember at all.
"Really not. If my disciple told half a lie, he would definitely be struck by thunder and die badly." Zhu Xingxiu almost made an oath on the spot.
"I've heard that my master has the blood of the witches and demons flowing in his body. He was specially trained by them to be an important chess piece in conquering the Yuan Kingdom."
"Is this happening?" Zhu Xingxiu looked shocked.
But what shocked him was not Ling Tian's life experience, but who told him these things Ling Tian said.
"Did Mo Miaoli tell Master this?" Zhu Xingxiu asked thoughtfully.
"Yes. What is the truth? Tell me quickly." Ling Tian became a little impatient.
"Okay. If it's about these things, my disciple will know where to start."
Zhu Xingxiu finally found the reason why Ling Tian was like this.
Once you know the cause, you can prescribe the right medicine.
"Master's life experience is actually not just the combination of the two races of witches and demons, but the combination of the human race, the demon race, and the witch race."
Hearing this, Ling Tian was stunned.
"Master's father is an out-and-out member of the Yuan Kingdom, that is, the human race. But my mother is a descendant of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan."
"According to the investigation, Master's biological father and mother were people who loved each other and hoped that humans, demons and witches could coexist peacefully. They did the same, but after they got married, they were hunted down by the witches and demons from the human race. ”
"But Master was sent to a remote village in Yuan Kingdom and adopted by an ordinary family. As for Master's biological father and mother, they also disappeared during that time, and their life and death are unknown."
After hearing this, Ling Tian finally understood something. But the look on his face was serious.
"Continue." Ling Tian looked at Zhu Xingxiu coldly.
"This is Master's true life experience. The reason why the Witch Clan and Demon Clan formed assassination organizations such as Undercurrent and Spirit Snake is because Master gave them a sense of hope and hope. After all, Master has the blood of the three tribes flowing through him. blood."
"You mean that the appearance of the Undertide Spirit Snake is directly related to being a master?" Ling Tian confirmed.
"Yeah, I don't dare to tell lies. The predecessor of Undertide and Spirit Snake was called Chao Ling, and its appearance was established by Master."
"As expected." Ling Tian was not shocked at all after hearing this answer.
Because as early as after Mo Miaoli said those words to sow discord, he had already prepared the worst in his heart.
"However, according to the disciple's hundreds of years of investigation, the master's original intention in forming this organization was not for war."
"What's that for?" Ling Tian immediately asked.
"It's to cultivate opponents who can defeat you. It's just..." Zhu Xingxiu hesitated.
"It's just that as a teacher, he was taken advantage of by the evil people in the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, which caused a catastrophe."
Zhu Xingxiu did not answer, but bowed and saluted.
"So, the master was not actually involved in the war plan of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, and the master was completely unaware of it. According to the investigation, after the master discovered something fishy, he left and returned to the Yuan Kingdom."
"Then you founded the Xuanming Sect?" Ling Tian's memory lines began to connect clearly.
"That's right. Master also founded the Xuanming Sect during this time. The purpose is still the same. It is not to compete for fame and wealth, but to cultivate people who are more powerful than yourself and defeat yourself."
"However, the people of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan have never given up. They have tried every possible means to win over the Master and become their biggest and most powerful weapon in the chess game of war. But they have always been rejected by the Master, no matter how generous the conditions are."
"So, they are targeting the Master and the Xuanming Sect?" Ling Tian spoke again to confirm.
Zhu Xingxiu nodded: "That's right. So from the beginning, they have made various preparations. Regardless of whether the master agrees or not, they have already prepared strategies to deal with it."
"How did they do it? How did the teacher do it?"
Now that we have finally reached the critical point of the entire time, Ling Tian's heart begins to feel a little nervous.
"Master did not promise that they had done anything. However, they did many excessive things to Master and even the Xuanming Sect."
"Tell me more specifically."
Ling Tian really wanted to slap Zhu Xingxiu in the face, but he always said something off-key. And he said it so artistically and euphemistically, so he had time to guess and think.
Especially at this time, he just wanted to know the answer to the whole incident quickly.
"Master established the Xuanming Sect, and it was not developed towards the Demonic Sect from the beginning. The master wanted to cultivate more superior juniors. One is to let the juniors defeat him, and the other is to cultivate more outstanding talents for the world of martial arts."
"But the main reason why the Xuanming Sect turned into a demonic sect was because the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan were behind it and fanned the flames. They planned a series of incidents to isolate the Xuanming Sect."
Upon hearing this, many familiar memories flashed through Ling Tian's mind.
His memory of these things that were isolated by the world's sects was not confused or lost.
"Then what?"
"Then through various martial arts sects in the world, Xuanming Sect finally embarked on the road of demon sect. And it was also at this time that Master accepted us, these nine disciples, one after another."
"What is particularly coincidental is the appearance of Linmuxuan, Mo Miaoli, Gu Yuanqing, and Yuan Zimo. It was exactly when the Xuanming Sect was isolated and the master officially wanted to establish the status of the Xuanming Sect."
"Master, I remember this. Moreover, I remember that after the four of them entered the Xuanming Sect, they made rapid progress and their relationship was better than the others." Ling Tian responded.
"That's right. Because based on my disciple's investigations over the years, the identities of the four of them are extremely suspicious."
"What do you mean? Could it be that they are all descendants of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan?" Ling Tian had already thought of this.
It's just that I haven't had time to confirm it.
Now that Zhu Xingxiu has spoken, it is time to confirm with him seriously.
"Yes, Master. Regarding this information, the apprentice will prepare a book as soon as possible and give it to Master for review."
"Okay. Let's continue talking about the next thing."
"Yes!" Zhu Xingxiu bowed and continued to speak.
"From then on, the nine of us will act according to Master's instructions. It was okay at first, but later we found that there would always be some bad behavior. Not only the nine of us, but also the people below began to behave All kinds of bad deeds come."
"Master also made many regulations at that time. However, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan sent people to secretly interfere, and they were never able to get the Xuan Ming Sect back on the right path."
"In the end, it even developed in the direction of a cult, but it was at this time that the disciple suddenly received a letter."
"What letter?" Ling Tian frowned slightly, with some doubts in his eyes.
Zhu Xingxiu immediately bowed and saluted, looking like he was hesitating to speak. But after a while of silence, he finally spoke.
"It's a letter asking the disciples to split the Xuanming Sect."
