As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the arena. Li Xuanji was the first to get angry and said with a fierce tone: "It really is you!"
Zhong Yan knelt heavily in front of Li Xunji, and said loudly: "The disciple has demonic energy in his body. When Beihuang was captured, the demon cultivator Cang Luan tried to coerce the disciple with a blood oath. The previous death of Elder Yunji and the disciple were indeed true. It has nothing to do with it, please look into it clearly.”
Li Xunji was still pondering, but the elder Li Xuanji on the side snorted coldly: "Death has no proof, so it's up to you to argue."
A voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Reporting to the sect master, when Elder Yunji died, Senior Brother Qin escaped. It was I who administered the medicine. At that time, Senior Brother did not have any demonic energy. Senior Brother only asked me a few days ago. Regarding the various blood oaths, please also ask the Sect Master to investigate!"
Zhong Yan raised his eyes and saw that it was Qingyou. He was looking at Zhong Yan with an anxious look on his face. Sure enough, adversity shows the truth, but it's not the right time to say this. Zhong Yan frowned lightly and gave Qingyou a wink, motioning him to stop making a sound.
Sure enough, Li Xuanji was even more angry when he heard the words, and shouted: "The head and the elders, the disciples in the hall must not speak falsely!"
These words used the cultivation base, like thunder, resounding in the arena. All the disciples fell silent for a moment. Li Xuanji turned his head to look at Zhong Yan: "Elder Jin Dan was killed, but the disciple of the contemplative stage escaped, but he doesn't remember the murderer's appearance. Is there such a coincidence in this world?"
Qingyou understood Zhong Yan's suggestion, gritted his teeth and stopped talking, wanting to withdraw from the crowd. Seeing his actions, Zhong Yan knew what was in his heart, and shouted, "Qingyou!"
When Qingyou heard the sound and hesitated for a while, and walked back to the position just now, Zhong Yan said in a low voice, "Don't look for anyone."
The elder stood a little far away and did not notice his small movements. Elder Wenji raised his hand to persuade Li Xuanji, who had stopped by the side, and stood up and said, "Qin Mingxi, it's not that we didn't give you the opportunity to explain. Let me first tell you that you are neither an elder nor a chief, so why did Cang Luan agree with him? Do you make a blood oath?"
Unfortunately, this problem happens to be Zhong Yan's dead end.
Not to mention that it is impossible for Zhong Yan to say that Cang Luan regarded him as Gu Xuanyan's Taoist companion in front of hundreds of disciples and three elders. Furthermore, Gu Xuanyan has a very high reputation in the sect, and he has the blue eyes of the sect and the elders. If this remark comes out, I don't know what will happen, and Gu Xuanyan's reputation doesn't know how it will be affected.
What's more, although Tong Ling never played again except for a soy sauce a long time ago. But anyway, it is also the real object of Gu Xuanyan in the original book. If rumors about yourself and Gu Xuanyan spread out, wouldn't it destroy other people's marriage
Thinking of this, Zhong Yan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
This feeling came from nowhere, and it was very subtle, as if there was a pool of water bubbling up in my heart. He thought that because of an inexplicable name of a Taoist companion, he was fed blood and took the blame, and he also had to consider Gu Xuanyan's reputation and target. It was a boundless love.
However, such a long silence became evidence of a guilty conscience in the eyes of others. Li Xuanji sneered and said, "If you explain and keep your mouth shut, how to convince people, is it just your own words?"
Zhong Yan kowtowed again, and said loudly: "I dare to swear to Lu Zu that the death of Elder Yunji has nothing to do with me, and I have never secretly colluded with the demon cultivator, otherwise my cultivation will be destroyed and I will never be able to ascend. ."
As soon as this oath came out, the disciples became commotion again. Some people sneered disdainfully: "The evidence is conclusive, and you dare to swear with shame." Others hesitated: "Dare to swear in the name of Lu Zu, maybe there is a hidden truth."
For a while, the voices of the whispers were endless, the elders on the stage looked at each other, and the head Li Xunji stepped forward and said, "Disciple is forbidden to speak."
The venue immediately quieted down. He looked at Zhong Yan and said loudly: "Since you swear in the name of Lu Zu, then Lu Zu will make the decision. If you can pass the test of the smoke sword, if you can pass its test, it will naturally mean that Lu Zu protects Daoist disciples. , it means that you have fallen into the devil's way, and the will of God is hard to defy."
Zhong Yan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what he meant - because I don't know whether you are innocent or not, it is better for you to let Ruyan sword stab with seven swords first. If you're not dead, you're innocent. If you die, you deserve it yourself.
This kind of words can still be said in such a righteous manner, Zhong Yan smirked and said: "Since the head said so, then there is no need to ask for a sword. Just kill me and let me serve Lu Zu."
Li Xunji's face sank when he heard the words, and he shouted: "Bring your sword!"
Like the smoke sword, the seven swords are in the same box. Because the sword body is slender, the sword box is only one arm wide. In the time of half a cup of tea, a disciple was ordered to come with a sword. Li Xunji opened the sword box. As soon as the seven swords saw the sky, they felt the faint demonic energy in Zhong Yan's body. In an instant, the seven swords trembled slightly, and they stabbed at Zhong Yan one after another with the sound of swords whistling!
Zhong Yan didn't care about respecting his teacher, he jumped up with his sword, cut off the first sword that was aimed straight at his face, and then quickly retreated to avoid the second sword. Li Xuanji shouted angrily, "Qin Mingxi, how dare you draw your sword in front of the elders!"
Zhong Yan split another sword, but he was not aware that a sword was coming from behind. He couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the right shoulder. Ruyan used the sword energy to control demons. This sword made Zhong Yan's demonic energy arouse immediately, colliding with the cultivation base in his body, forcing his blood to surge, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Zhong Yan snorted, turned around and slashed the sword, wiped the blood from his lips and replied, "This disciple does not want to be wronged and die, so naturally he can only fight hard."
Li Xuanji was even more angry when he heard the words, and turned his hand and slapped the remaining three Ruyan swords, trying to use the repaired sword. Immediately, the sound of the three swords was even more mournful, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and they all rushed towards Zhong Yan!
Just now, Zhong Yan faced off against the sword, but he was still able to give it a shot. Now that the sword contains Li Xuanji's true essence, it is like having more power of thunder. Zhong Yan tried his best to slash one sword, but it was too late to turn back and cut again, and in a blink of an eye, the other two came to him!
At the critical moment, a long sword suddenly broke through the wind, and the sound of the sword resounded through the sky.
For a while, everyone on the field was attracted, and someone in the crowd exclaimed: "It's Senior Brother Gu's sword, Senior Brother Gu is out!"
Zhong Yan was stunned for a moment, and saw that sword carrying the blue sword energy down, and stabbed at two like smoke! Gu Xuanyan's sword was very vicious, and it broke Li Xuanji's true essence in an instant.
Afterwards, Gu Xuanyan stepped on the wind and came and stood beside Zhong Yan. Zhong Yan looked at him, but couldn't react for a while, and stammered: "You, why did you come out, you didn't want to-"
Gu Xuanyan replied succinctly: "Break the situation ahead of time." Then he saw Zhong Yan's bleeding right shoulder. In an instant, Gu Xuanyan's coercion overflowed.
The repression during the Theravada period was terrifying, and the disciples in the field groaned and took a few steps back, almost untenable. Gu Xuanyan didn't seem to see it, and looked up at the people on the stage.
Li Xunji looked at Gu Xuanyan, and his tone was much better than before: "Xuanyan has entered the Hinayana, which is gratifying."
Gu Xuanyan did not thank him, but instead asked, "What are you doing?"
This sentence is not like his usual gentleness and politeness, and there is no title, it is already disrespectful. Li Xuanji shouted: "Presumptuous! The head punishes traitors, although you are the chief disciple, you must not interfere without authorization."
Gu Xuanyan chuckled lightly and said, "The head punishes my Taoist companion, so I naturally have to ask."
The voice was not loud, but it was like thunder. Not only was the disciple's face shocked, even Zhong Yan was shocked. He grabbed Gu Xuanyan's sleeve and asked, "What did you say?"
The head of Li Xunji, who spoke in unison with Zhong Yan, shouted, "What did you say!"
Gu Xuanyan looked directly at Li Xunji, neither humble nor arrogant: "In order to threaten me, Demon Zun Cang Luan coerced senior brother to make a blood oath. Everything is up to me. If the head wants to punish, join me."
Having said this, the whole trial field was silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the two people in the field.
Li Xunji's face was extremely ugly, and after a long silence, he said: "Since there is a reason for the incident, I will not blame the blood oath. But Qin Mingxi has demonic energy, so he will no longer be counted as my Daoist disciple, and let him go down the mountain today. , you are not allowed to mention my Qingyan gate number again in the future."
Gu Xuanyan was silent for a moment, then said: "The head is right."
Zhong Yan's heart sank, and he felt that his mind was blank. He thought, too, where does Gu Xuanyan have the obligation to speak for him
The identity of Chief Qingyan has helped him a lot, and with his resourcefulness, he will naturally make beneficial choices.
After realizing it, Zhong Yancai felt that the wound on his right shoulder was unbearably painful, so much so that he forgot to do the rites, and said in a panic, "Then I'll pack up now—"
Gu Xuanyan frowned slightly, took Zhong Yan's hand, and said warmly, "Senior brother, wait for me."
