Yang Qi had no regrets about killing Yuan En. Yuan En had tried to kill him more than once, and even secretly joined a mysterious force. In this matter, as Emperor Haoyue said, he did nothing wrong, and he was not afraid to report the matter to the Zhenwu Sect's top leaders.
Because Yang Qi had to go to the Zhenwu Sect to make some arrangements, in addition to Emperor Xuanyang who stayed behind to guard the Tianwu Sect, Emperor Chiyang also followed him to the Zhenwu Sect.
"You don't have to worry. The leader is on our side. Originally, Emperor Kasyapa wanted you to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to explain, but in the end, the leader overruled everyone and you only need to go to the meeting hall to explain the matter." Emperor Haoyue looked at Yang Qi and said.
Although both were about the killing of Yuan En, the Law Enforcement Hall and the Council Hall were obviously different. If one went to the Law Enforcement Hall to explain, in a sense, it would be equivalent to confirming that Yang Qi had killed his fellow disciples.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, and then, under the leadership of Emperor Haoyue, came to the meeting hall of the Zhenwu Sect. As soon as he entered the hall, Yang Qi found that there were nearly ten practitioners in the hall, including two familiar faces, who were naturally the leaders of the Zhenwu Sect, Emperor Zhenluo and Emperor Jialuo.
At this moment, Emperor Haoyue on the side said, "The practitioner next to Emperor Jialuo is Emperor Jiaye."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi could not help but nod secretly. In fact, even if Emperor Haoyue didn't say it, he knew that it was Emperor Jiaye, because from the moment he stepped into the council hall, he felt a strong hostility from that person, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in that hostility.
In the current Zhenwu Sect, besides Emperor Kasyapa, who else is there at the Martial Emperor level who has murderous intentions towards him
So after entering the hall, Yang Qi knew that the man was Yuan En’s master, Emperor Kashyapa!
Yang Qi looked up at the Zhenluo Emperor who was sitting at the top of the table and said respectfully, "Disciple Yang Qi, I greet the Master."
"The reason I called you here this time is because of the death of Yuan En, a disciple of Emperor Jiaye. According to the message Yuan En sent before his death, it was you who killed him. Do you have anything to say?" Emperor Zhenluo looked at Yang Qi and said.
As the leader of the Zhenwu Sect, Emperor Zhenluo was on Yang Qi's side, but on the surface, at least he was fair. Killing one's fellow disciples has always been a taboo for the practicing forces, and the Zhenwu Sect itself is a divided sect system, so this point is extremely strict.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi said in a deep voice, "Yuan En was indeed killed by my disciple."
What
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed and they all looked at Yang Qi. Even Emperor Kasyapa was slightly stunned. They did not expect that Yang Qi would admit to killing Yuan En so easily.
Killing fellow disciples is a taboo in the Zhenwu Sect. Once discovered, the lighter punishment is expulsion from the sect, and the worse punishment is direct execution by the Law Enforcement Hall as a warning to others. Yang Qi just admitted to such a serious crime so directly
Even Emperor Kasyapa had not expected this. He had originally thought that Yang Qi would quibble. If so, relying on the protection of the Qingdi Palace, he might not be able to do anything to Yang Qi. He could only try his best to check Yang Qi's soul memory, but the possibility of passing was extremely small. After all, the soul involved the foundation of the cultivator, and the talent and potential shown by Yang Qi made it impossible for people to check his soul.
However, Yuan En was one of the disciples that Jiaye valued the most, otherwise he would not have allowed Yuan En to go to Zhenwu Realm. So even though he knew that the possibility of checking Yang Qi's soul memory was extremely small, Emperor Jiaye was also prepared. However, what he never expected was that Yang Qi actually directly admitted to killing Yuan En!
"How dare you! You deserve to be put to death for killing your fellow disciple." The Great Emperor Jiaye came to his senses and shouted coldly. He looked at the Zhenluo Emperor at the top and said, "Master, Yang Qi has admitted to killing Yuan En. Please make a decision for my dead disciple!"
Hearing this, Emperor Zhenluo could not help but frown. He also knew about Yang Qi's background. He knew that he was a disciple of Emperor Wushi and had the support of the Holy Lord Taixu. Even if Yang Qi really killed Yuan En, he would at most be expelled from the Zhenwu Sect. Killing Yang Qi would only bring great enemies to the Zhenwu Sect.
But now that Yang Qi has admitted to killing Yuan En, it would be difficult for Emperor Zhenluo to protect Yang Qi. After all, although the lineage of Emperor Zhenwu is the only dominant one in the Zhenwu Sect, it is impossible for them to ignore the opinions of other factions. Otherwise, the entire Zhenwu Sect will surely fall apart.
"Yang Qi, do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Zhenluo looked at Yang Qi and said, he did not directly convict Yang Qi, but gave Yang Qi a chance to explain. Although killing a fellow disciple is a serious crime, it depends on the circumstances. If Yuan En took the initiative, it would be another matter.
"Yuan En wanted to kill me, and he attacked me twice in a row, so I killed him." Yang Qi said calmly.
"nonsense!"
As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, a cold shout came from the Great Emperor Jiaye. The Great Emperor Jiaye stared at Yang Qi angrily and said, "You said Yuan En wanted to kill you. Yuan En has no grudge against you. Why does he want to kill you? Do you have any evidence?"
That's right, evidence. Yang Qi said Yuan En wanted to kill him, but where was the evidence? Yuan En was already dead, and there was no evidence. If Yang Qi couldn't produce evidence, he couldn't prove that Yuan En wanted to kill him.
"evidence?"
Yang Qi smiled and shook his head slightly, "No!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a smile suddenly appeared on Emperor Kasyapa's face. Without evidence, he could not prove that Yuan En took the initiative to attack. Naturally, he had a reason to ask Yang Qi to pay with his life.
“Although there is no evidence, Yuan En and I have no grudges against each other. It was me who got the opportunity in the Zhenwu Realm, and the place where Yuan En died was very close to the Tianwu Continent. Could it be that I, a six-star Martial Emperor, would take the initiative to kill an eight-star Martial Emperor?” Yang Qi said lightly.
Compared to him taking the initiative to kill Yuan En, it is undoubtedly easier to believe that Yuan En took the initiative to kill him. After all, a six-star Martial Emperor killing an eight-star Martial Emperor without the help of external objects is almost voluntarily seeking death.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiaye could not help but sneer and said, "Without evidence, it's useless no matter how much you say. I only know that my disciple Yuan En is dead, and you are alive!"
Whether Yuan En wanted to kill Yang Qi or not, no one knew whether it was true or not after Yuan En's death, but it was a fact that Yuan En was dead. As long as he insisted that Yang Qi killed his fellow disciples, even if he could not execute Yang Qi directly, Yang Qi would be expelled from the Zhenwu Sect. At that time, the Qingdi Palace would not be able to protect Yang Qi all the time, and no one could say anything if he took revenge again.
"Yuan En doesn't just want to kill me, he also wants to get the inheritance I got from the Zhenwu Realm. He has already joined the mysterious force that is eyeing that inheritance." Yang Qi spoke again.
What
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed. Although the practitioners of their generation had almost no direct conflicts with the mysterious force, according to records, after the death of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, the practitioners of the Zhenwu Sect had more than one conflict with the mysterious force. Therefore, the Zhenwu Sect had long established the rules of the sect: if you see a practitioner of that mysterious force, you must kill him without mercy! (To be continued)
