Everyone looked at Lu Mingshu.
This young girl who had just won 18 consecutive victories and defeated her True Inheritance stood there quietly, her face was pale, there was still blood on her shoulders, she was so thin that a gust of wind could blow it away.
She didn't try to defend herself, and she didn't show any shame, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, Gao Xiang became anxious when he heard it, and stood up and said, "Elder Zhou, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" Elder Zhou sneered, pointing at the corpse, "Everyone saw that they left from the lower gate together, and this disciple died not far from the lower gate! Isn't this suspicious? Also, he His head was cut off by a sword, we only need to compare the sword marks to find the murder weapon, do you want to try?"
"You don't need to try." Lu Mingshu said lightly, "I killed it."
Hearing her confession, the disciples all exclaimed. The hero who had just won eighteen consecutive victories and won the top spot in the Tianmen Contest turned out to be the murderer of his fellow clan in the blink of an eye? This…
"Mingshu!" Hearing her confession, Gao Xiang became impatient, "You..."
But Lu Mingshu didn't intend to make amends at all.
Gao Xiang was eager to defend her, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, please think about it, why did Lu Mingshu kill this person? In terms of strength, she is much stronger than this person. It would be too much to say that she could get rid of her opponent in advance, right? But It would be even more wrong to say that it was motivated by money, this is an ordinary disciple, how much money can he have? Look, his belongings are all there!"
"Boy, what do you mean?" Elder Zhou said angrily, "She admitted it herself!"
"I… "
"My apprentice means," An Tongchen interjected with a icy voice, "no matter how you test it, Lu Mingshu doesn't need to kill this person. There must be a reason for this."
"Yes!" With the backing of his master, Gao Xiang immediately regained his energy. "This sect does not allow members of the same sect to fight each other, but there is one exception, and that is self-protection!"
Elder Zhou sneered: "Boy, you just said that in terms of strength, she is much stronger than this disciple. If that's the case, how can we talk about self-protection?"
"Why is it impossible?" Gao Xiang argued, "Since everyone has seen that they were together when they left the door, that is to say, they are teammates. Under normal circumstances, of course this person cannot hurt Lu Mingshu. But what if she made a sudden attack as a teammate? There is even a possibility of stabbing her in the back during the battle!"
Everyone nodded. Indeed, for an ordinary disciple like Lu Mingshu who is aiming at the true teaching, there is no need to kill him at all, but if he does it to himself, then there is nothing to say.
"Hehe, do you have any proof for saying that? It's just a story you made up yourself!"
"What about Elder Zhou? Standing here is the true disciple who was selected in this Tianmen battle. He has fought 18 times in a row and won every match! If you don't even give her a chance to defend herself, you will convict her Is this how our Jiuyao Palace treats true disciples like this?" Gao Xiang blushed and pulled Lu Mingshu, "Mingshu, tell yourself!"
Lu Ming raised his head slowly, looked at Elder Zhou, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Elder Zhou, you seem to have missed one thing, right?"
Elder Zhou glared at her angrily: "What do you mean?"
Although she was smiling, Lu Mingshu's face was full of coldness: "I not only killed Liang Zongping, but also hurt Zhou Yinru!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone gasped.
Hurt Zhou Yinru? No wonder, Zhou Yinru didn't show up at the middle gate for a long time, and then disappeared like that. But what did Lu Mingshu mean by this? Does she think her crime is not serious enough
"You..." The strange thing is that Elder Zhou didn't take the opportunity to accuse her, but was tongue-tied instead.
"Is it because I don't say it, and Elder Zhou doesn't plan to say it?" Lu Mingshu said calmly, "Because it's too embarrassing to say it, isn't it? Miss Tuesday brought two of her men to ambush me, but I fought back and had to withdraw from Tianmen battle."
After lightly talking about this matter, Lu Mingshu's eyes flashed sharply: "I can answer Elder Zhou's question just now. Why did I kill Liang Zongping? Yes, it's because he plotted against me. Why was he able to plot against me? Because Zhou Yinru ambushes me first!"
The disciples were shocked when they heard this. Zhou Yinru ambush her? This Uncle Zhou has always brought two people with him, that is to say, with three enemies and one, the more bullies the less
After a moment of silence, Elder Zhou thought of what to say: "For the Tianmen competition, disciples are allowed to compete, so what if Zhou Yinru ambushed you? Don't tell me you still want to sue."
There was a trace of mockery in Lu Mingshu's eyes: "I've already explained the matter clearly, Elder Zhou still can't tell the cause and effect? Zhou Yinru is three against one, what do you think I have the ability to be unscathed? Since the three of them couldn't do it because of injuries If I don't withdraw from the Tianmen dispute, how can my situation be better? It is precisely because of this that Liang Zongping was able to plot against me, and it is also because of this that I will kill him. I have already given the reason Elder Zhou asked for. What do you think? Is it reasonable? Or, do you think that even if someone plots against me, I should obediently wait for death?"
Elder Zhou sneered: "Lu Mingshu, don't you feel that what you said is inconsistent? You said that you were seriously injured by Zhou Yinru and plotted against by Liang Zongping, so why are you able to stand here so well? You have fought eighteen times in a row! Your injury Well, show it up for everyone to see!"
When he said this, many people recalled it. Yup! Just now Lu Mingshu fought eighteen games in a row, but he didn't have any injuries at all. This is not right!
Lu Mingshu said coldly: "Elder Zhou means that since I was ambushed first and then plotted against, I should be dead. It's unreasonable to live, right?"
"you-"
Lu Mingshu didn't give him a chance to speak: "Could it be that I can't have a secret method? Otherwise, why do you think I've lost all my skills now?"
At the foot of Langhua Peak, a disciple asked, "Is there such a secret method? Can the injury be healed temporarily?"
The person being asked shook his head: "I don't know, I've never heard of it."
Some people also said: "The world is so big, who knows if there is such a secret method? Anyway, I believed it, and Lu Mingshu is not stupid. He knew that the weaving was not perfect, and even said that he was seriously injured."
"Hey! She's not stupid, she just tricks fools like you! Maybe she just expected everyone to think so."
"Well... I'll reserve my opinion, who knows..."
Elder Zhou was blocked twice in a row and looked at Fu Shangqing: "Master, tell me something fair! Lu Mingshu killed someone, and she herself admitted it, and the evidence is solid! But the words she made up have no evidence at all. No. What a serious crime it is to kill fellow disciples, does she want to just expose it lightly?"
Fu Shangqing looked at the corpse, then at the crowd, and pondered: "This matter is so important that we should not talk about it lightly. Why don't we postpone it for now, examine it carefully, and then give the disciples an explanation."
"Since she is suspected of killing her fellow disciples, how can she be a true disciple?" Elder Zhou was relentless, "This matter can be postponed for later discussion, but true disciples cannot be granted to her. Otherwise, how can I convince everyone? Sect leader, You don't want to be selfish, do you?"
"This… "
Just as Fu Shangqing was hesitating, a voice rang out: "This is ridiculous, true disciples, how important is it, you can just deprive them of suspicion with just the word "suspect"? If it's true disciples made with real swords and guns, they won't count , is the real reason for convincing the public!"
