Chapter 69: Three days after the Sky Palace monks were framed, Li...

Three days later, on Li Yuansheng's birthday, his best friend Lei Caijun invited him to drink. After three pots of wine, both of them were drunk and unconscious.

Early the next morning, Li Yuan was awakened by screams. He saw that he was holding the blood-stained sword, and Lei Caijun had died tragically under his sword.

Soon he was brought to the Discipline Hall by the monks. Lei Caijun was the deputy palace master of Tianshu Palace. Pang Tianyi led the people of Tianshu Palace to kneel down and ask Xiao Jun to avenge Lei Caijun.

Xiao Jun sent someone to Tianqiong Palace to invite Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan. "This involves two palaces, so I have to be cautious. Palace Master Xi, Li Yuan is a member of your palace. How do you think we should handle this matter?"

Li Youyang looked at Li Yuan and said coldly, "Tell us what happened that night in detail."

Li Yuan recounted his story: "I don't remember what happened after I got drunk. When I woke up, Caijun was already dead. I'm not sure if I accidentally killed him while drunk. I..."

Li Youyang interrupted: "Where is Lei Caijun's body?"

Pang Tian said in a deep voice: "Palace Master Xi, what do you mean by this! My deputy palace master of Tianshu Palace was brutally murdered by your Tianqiong Palace cultivators, and I still want to perform an autopsy on you?"

"That's right. We all saw Li Yuan kill someone. What else is there to verify? Even if the Sky Palace wants to protect someone within their ranks, there should be a limit!"

"As long as Li Yuan is alive, we will fight to the death with the Sky Palace!"

Li Yuan clenched his fists and said, "The two palace masters, don't worry about me anymore. Cai Jun died because of me, and I am willing to pay for his life."

Bei Liyuan said solemnly, "Since he is a cultivator from the Sky Dome Palace, there is no reason for him to die unjustly. Alliance Leader, can you give me two days? If the real culprit is not found within two days, I am willing to share the same crime as Li Yuan."

"The real culprit is right in front of us! What are we still investigating..."

Pang Tian raised his hand and everyone stopped talking.

"Alliance leader, since Beigong Master has this intention, our Tianshu Palace is willing to wait for two more days."

"This..." Xiao Jun looked at Li Youyang with difficulty, "Palace Master Xi, what do you say?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "Just do as Lord Beigong said."

Li Yuan kowtowed hurriedly: "Alliance leader, everyone is responsible for their own actions. I don't want to implicate Beigong Lord, so please don't agree."

Xiao Jun looked at Bei Liyuan again: "What Lord Beigong said just now is not a joke. This leader will give you one more chance. Do you insist on investigating?"

Bei Liyuan nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Jun sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll give you two days to track it down."

After leaving the Discipline Hall, Bei Liyuan and Li Youyang went to see Lei Caijun's corpse first, hoping to use magic to reproduce the scene of his life. However, someone took action first and completely shattered the last wisp of Lei Caijun's soul.

The two checked the injury again and found that it was indeed only a sword wound.

"They have set up a very careful plan. It would be difficult for ordinary people to crack it!" Bei Liyuan frowned slightly as he looked at the corpse with his arms folded.

Li Youyang lightly drew his sword finger, and his spiritual energy penetrated into Lei Caijun's body, and he nodded slightly to Bei Liyuan.

…

Two days later, the twelve palace masters gathered in the Discipline Hall. Pang Tian coldly questioned, "The two-day deadline has passed. Has Palace Master Xi found the real culprit?!"

Li Youyang was silent.

Pang Tian continued, "Why hasn't Lord Beigong shown up? Could it be that they've discovered that the real culprit is Li Yuan, and he's escaped? Lord Xigong, you must give us an explanation for this."

Feng Nuo said coldly, "Palace Master Pang, why are you so anxious? Since Palace Master Xi is here, Palace Master Bei will definitely not run away. Maybe he was delayed by something and will be here soon."

Pang Tian frowned and said, "Forget it! Palace Master Bei has escaped, but now the deadline has come. The Sky Palace has not found the so-called other culprit. I ask the Alliance Leader to handle this impartially and execute Li Yuan to avenge Deputy Palace Master Lei!"

"Kill Li Yuan and avenge Deputy Palace Master Lei!"

"Kill Li Yuan and avenge Deputy Palace Master Lei!"

"Kill Li Yuan and avenge Deputy Palace Master Lei!"

Everyone in Tianshu Palace shouted in unison.

Xiao Jun held his forehead with his hand. "Now that things have come to this, I really can't say anything more. Li Yuan's crime of killing his allies is unforgivable. Come, drag Li Yuan away and sentence him to death."

Li Yuan closed his eyes.

However, when the monk was about to touch him, he was repelled by the spiritual energy!

Pang Tian looked at Li Youyang coldly and said solemnly, "What do you mean, Palace Master Xi?"

Everyone in Tianshu Palace glared at him angrily, as if they wanted to eat Li Youyang alive.

Li Yuan kowtowed to Li Youyang and said, "Master Xi, I am deeply grateful for your protection, but I do not want to embarrass you. I will repay you for your protection in my next life."

He even threatened to commit suicide. Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly, and a formation restrained his movements. "This matter is not just yours. If we can't clear your name and punish the culprit today, others will surely use the same method against other cultivators in the Sky Palace in the future. So, do you still want to commit suicide?"

Li Yuan clenched his fist and said, "It's my stupidity."

Li Youyang moved his fingertips slightly to release the restraint.

Pang Tian said coldly, "What does Palace Master Xi mean by this?! Would my Tianshu Palace really use the life of the Deputy Palace Master to frame an ordinary cultivator from your Tianqiong Palace?"

"That's right! There's no reason for a murderer to stand in front of the victim! The one who died was the deputy palace master of our Tianshu Palace, and the murderer was a cultivator from his Tianqiong Palace. Now Tianqiong Palace is accusing us of harming them! How shameless! Alliance leader, is this how you're going to watch?"

The monks from Tianshu Palace kowtowed heavily and questioned angrily.

Pang Tian scolded coldly: "Don't be rude to the leader."

Xiao Jun sighed and said guiltily, "Palace Master Pang, don't blame them. It was indeed my fault for not handling this matter well. I always felt that Palace Master Xi and the others had just joined the alliance and wanted to take care of them. I was unfair. Palace Master Xi, things have come to this point. If you can't produce evidence, whether you like it or not, I will have to severely punish the murderer."

Li Youyang's eyes turned slightly cold: "With me here today, no one can touch anyone from the Sky Palace."

Xiao Jun curled his lips invisibly and said coldly: "Palace Master Xi, are you going to forcibly protect the murderer?"

Pang Tian stood up and summoned his immortal sword. "As the Palace Master of Tianshu Palace, the Deputy Palace Master has been murdered by someone else. The murderer is right before my eyes. If I cannot avenge him, how can I even hold the dignity of sitting on the throne of Palace Master? Today I will kill Li Yuan. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

The other cultivators of Tianshu Palace also summoned their immortal swords: "Avenge the Deputy Palace Master! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Xiao Jun looked at Li Youyang, moved the corners of his lips slightly, and said: Xihe, if you agree to be my Taoist partner, I can handle this matter for you, and I can also help you protect the person you want to protect, how about it?

Li Youyang's eyes turned slightly cold, and he waved his sleeves lightly to release his pressure. In an instant, except for Pang Tian, ​​all the other cultivators in Tianshu Palace knelt down and vomited blood.

Pang Tian was furious: "Xihe! You dare to hurt the cultivators of my Tianshu Palace just because you rely on your high level of cultivation!"

Li Youyang casually picked up the teacup and said coldly, "Can we wait quietly now?"

"Palace Master Xi's actions are...ah!"

The monk from Tianshu Palace who spoke was seriously injured again!

Although the other monks were annoyed, they did not dare to say anything.

Pang Tian was furious: "Xihe! You are going too far!"

Li Youyang was silent.

Pang Tian clenched his fists tightly. If he didn't take action, what would he have in the Tianshu Palace in the future? But Fang Fang Xihe's casual pressure made him realize that although they were both in the realm of gods, he was no match for the other party. Maybe he couldn't even withstand a single move. If he didn't fight, he would have no chance. If he fought, he would be even more humiliated.

In this difficult situation, Xiao Jun said in a deep voice: "Palace Master Xi, you dare to hurt the cultivators in front of me, the leader of the alliance. Do you really think that I am dead?!"

Li Youyang was silent.

"presumptuous!"

Xiao Jun snorted coldly, raised his palm and formed a killing array to attack Li Youyang. Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly, and just as he was about to take action, a spiritual power hit him and the killing array dissipated in an instant.

Xiao Jun looked at Ling Ye with cold eyes: "Why, Palace Master Ling is also going to fight with this alliance leader?"

Ling Ye said coldly, "We've already waited two days. There's only a little more time left. When Bei Liyuan returns, there will be a result. The leader is so anxious to deal with it. What if Li Yuan is really wronged? What will happen then?"

Pang Tian sneered, "Palace Master Ling, what you said is really nice. Bei Liyuan hasn't shown up yet. Who knows if he escaped because of the previous appointment? If he doesn't come back, are we just going to wait here foolishly?"

"That's easy. I'll give you one hour. If Bei Liyuan doesn't return in time, I'll personally hand Li Yuan over to you. How do you do that?"

Pang Tian looked at Li Youyang: "What did Palace Master Xi say?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "As long as I am here, it is absolutely impossible for anyone who wants to touch my Sky Palace to do so."

Pang Tian said in a deep voice: "Palace Master Ling, it's not that I don't cooperate, it's Palace Master Xi who is pushing us too far!"

Li Youyang looked over with cold eyes and said calmly, "So what?"

So what! Pang Tian clenched his fist. If he didn't respond to such a provocation, he would probably not be able to gain a foothold in the alliance in the future. "So what! Xihe, today, it's either you die or I die!"

The other palace masters hurriedly said, "Palace Master Pang, please think twice. If you really start a life-or-death struggle, then the two palaces will truly establish a blood feud. Our real enemies are those invading foreign races."

"I'll think twice, why don't you go and persuade him!"

If he can be persuaded, why would we come to persuade you? The other palace masters said, "Palace Master Pang, why don't we wait a little longer? When Palace Master Bei returns, if there is no evidence, Li Yuan will be killed. But if they really find that there is a misunderstanding, then Li Yuan's death will be irreparable."

"Yes, that's right. Li Yuan and Palace Master Lei were close friends. Li Yuan really had no motive to kill Palace Master Lei. Perhaps this was done intentionally by the enemy in order to divide us. We must not fall for their tricks."

"We've already waited for two days. It won't hurt to wait a little longer. Palace Master Lei would definitely not blame us if he knew about this. Palace Master Pang, why don't you wait and see."

"Alliance leader, this involves the two palaces, so we should act with caution. Please tell Palace Master Pang to wait a little longer. Otherwise, if he and Palace Master Xi are killed or injured, the two palaces will really fight to the death."

Xiao Jun originally wanted to use this incident to force Xihe to surrender, but he didn't expect Xihe to be so tough. If a fight really broke out, Pang Tian would surely die. He was still useful and couldn't let him die now.

"Everyone, there's no need to be anxious. Now that things have come to this, why not wait a little longer until Palace Master Bei returns before making a decision? Palace Master Pang, Palace Master Xi must have his reasons for being so insistent. Why not wait until Palace Master Bei returns? It won't be too late to deal with Li Yuan then."

Pang Tian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, sat back in his seat and said nothing.

"Usually, it's the Tianshu Palace that bullies the monks from other palaces. Now, seeing them so frustrated, I feel inexplicably happy!"

"Everyone from top to bottom has been suppressed into this state by Palace Master Xi. Palace Master Xi is so majestic! I originally thought that the Sky Dome Palace had lost most of its combat power in the battle and would definitely be looked down upon in the future. But then this Palace Master came. I have to say that the feng shui of the Sky Dome Palace is really good! Do you think that Deputy Palace Master Lei was really killed by Li Yuan?"

"Oh! It's just Palace Master Pang's trick. You didn't know that because you joined the alliance too late. Back then, the Yingjie Alliance was just established, and Palace Master Pang was competing with someone for the position of Tianshu Palace Master. The other person had a higher voice, but no one expected that on the day of the election, that person would accidentally kill a cultivator and be kicked out of the Yingjie Alliance. Now, Palace Master Pang probably saw that Palace Master Xi was valued by the Alliance Leader and wanted to use the same trick again, but he didn't expect to kick against a wall. It's really a case of losing more than gaining."
