The atmosphere in the Tianxing Sect suddenly became extremely tense.
"Although I joined the Tianxing Sect halfway through, I have devoted myself to the sect until my death. Now my only bloodline has been killed by villains. I wanted to kill the enemy for her but was stopped by the disciples of Xinglan Peak. Please give me an explanation."
Xi Sheng, a cultivator in the fusion stage, joined the Tianxing Sect 20 years ago and is now the peak elder of the Tianxing Sect.
He had only one daughter, named Xi Qing, whom he doted on very much, so she was a little spoiled and willful, but not enough to kill her.
The higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to have children. You only have one daughter. How can you accept this?
I wish I could chop the beast into pieces to vent my hatred!
But his enemy is now being protected by his fellow disciples. How can he bear this?
Only then did he bring people to the Zong to seek justice.
Qing Ping stood up with a sullen face and argued: "What Elder Xi said is unreasonable. If it weren't for the timely intervention of several of my fellow apprentices, my fellow apprentice Qing would have been killed by you. Did you kill your daughter?"
"Who allowed 놛늵 to protect that evil woman?" Xi Sheng's sanity gradually recovered a little.
Qing is a disciple of the Tianxing clan. Yu's daughter Xi Qing has always been in love with him. Yu is happy to see this and has always wanted to bring them together.
However, a witch named Zhao suddenly appeared and did something to confuse Xi Qing, which made Xi Qing jealous. She betrayed her and died the next day.
Without further ado, it must be that evil woman named Zhao.
In 놛's opinion, 놌 was also partly responsible for Xi Qing's death. If 놛 hadn't let the wolf into the house and made 놛's daughter jealous, her daughter wouldn't have died.
So when he saw Qing protecting the witch, he couldn't help but kill them, wanting the couple to be buried with Xi Qing.
Now that I think about it, my behavior was inappropriate. I shouldn't have hurt others in public.
We should kill them in secret.
Qingping: "You said Miss Zhao is a murderer, do you have any evidence?"
Xi Sheng snorted coldly, "This evil woman has such a deep karma, she must not be a good person. If she is not the murderer, who else could it be?"
"Does this mean that Elder Xi has no evidence?"
"But she has murderous motives! And why do you want to protect a witch? Do you have some hidden relationship with her?"
"You are slandering me!"
"I'm slandering you? Then why are you speaking up for the witch?"
Xi Sheng and his disciples started arguing.
"That's enough!" Tianxing Sect's head, Mingyan Zhenren, scolded, "Stop making so much noise, how disgraceful!"
After saying this, Master Mingyan turned to look at his disciples headed by Qingping and said, "Don't be rude to Elder Xi! Elder Xi is extremely sad about the loss of his beloved daughter, you should understand."
After teaching his disciples, Master Mingyan turned his gaze to Xi Sheng: "Elder Xi, we all understand your feelings. Losing your beloved daughter is such a heavy blow that no one can bear. Don't worry, the sect will definitely give you a satisfactory answer and will not let any injustice or truth be buried."
There are many cultivators like Xi Sheng who have joined the Tianxing Sect. If today's matter is not handled properly, it will discourage those cultivators and will be detrimental to the stability of the sect.
The Tianxing Sect cannot afford to have any more setbacks now.
"Then I will wait."
Master Mingyan cast his gaze towards the seriously injured Qing, "Qing, what do you have to say?"
Qing struggled to stand up and bowed to the headmaster: "To reply, headmaster, Miss Zhao is definitely not the murderer who killed Junior Sister Xi, because Miss Zhao was discussing Taoism with the disciples last night, she didn't have time to kill anyone."
Xi Sheng: "Everyone knows that you love that witch. Maybe you are just giving false testimony to excuse her?"
Qing said solemnly: "Disciple can swear an oath by the Heavenly Dao to prove that this is true."
"I didn't say Qingqing was killed at night. You were hanging out with her at night. Did you hang out with her during the day as well?" Xi Sheng argued cunningly.
Hearing the word "绝混", Qing's face flushed, "Elder Xi, you are just making excuses. Elder, you are a cultivator in the Fusion Stage, you must have given Junior Sister Xi something to defend herself. Miss Zhao is just a baby, how could she kill Junior Sister Xi who has a precious treasure to protect herself?"
Xi Sheng was speechless. After a moment's silence, he said slowly, "Maybe she colluded with someone and ordered someone to poison her? After all, Qingqing's death must be related to her."
Xi Sheng and Qing 놌 each insisted on their own opinion and neither of them gave in.
"Does Brother Zhao have anything to say?" Taoist Mingyan looked at Zhao Zhaodi who was silent beside him.
"Once suspicion arises, the charge will be established. I am just a rootless and wandering cultivator, do you think the Tianxing Sect is willing to believe my words?" As soon as these words came out, everyone felt uncomfortable.
Ming Yan: "Daoyou, your words are too serious. Tianxing Sect has always been upright and honest, and will never do anything that would wrongfully confess. If Daoyou is indeed innocent, then we will naturally never wrongly accuse a good person, so please rest assured."
"Yesterday, Daoist Xi came to visit me for no reason and slandered me for seducing Daoist Qing. I naturally denied it. She didn't believe it and attacked me. I was no match for her. Fortunately, Daoist Qing arrived in time and the dispute was settled.
After Daoist friend Xi Xi left, I stayed in the room to heal my wounds and did not go out. After careful consideration, I felt that Tianxing Sect was no longer a place for me to stay for a long time, so I said goodbye to Daoist friend Qing. Daoist friend Qing tried to keep me for a long time, but I refused politely, so I reluctantly agreed to stay.
The next day, Mr. Xi came to my house and accused me of killing Mr. Xi.
That’s all that happened.”
Hearing this, Xi Sheng turned around and said gloomily: "You want to get away after killing someone? You're dreaming!"
This witch must die on the 꿛 of 놛.
Mingyan Zhenren raised his hand to signal the other party to stay calm, and then said: "Daoyou, do you have any witnesses to prove that you have been in the room and have not left?"
Zhao Zhaodi said calmly: "No, I was the only one in the room at that time."
"Look, she has no evidence. Can't we prove she is the murderer? Don't stop me. I will kill her immediately to avenge my son."
Zhao Zhaodi turned around and looked at Xi Sheng, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I was the only one in my room, so there was no witness. Senior, you keep saying that I am a murderer, please produce evidence to prove how I killed your daughter, otherwise I would rather die than surrender."
The situation came to a stalemate. Xi Sheng could not produce evidence to prove that Zhao Zhaodi was the murderer, and Zhao Zhaodi could not prove her innocence.
The commotion here eventually attracted Yuanxuan and Xiaoxiao over here.
"What happened here?" Yuanxuan asked.
Seeing Mr. Mingri coming, Xi Sheng's originally arrogant attitude subsided a little, and Zhao Zhaodi was no longer as indifferent as before.
"Uncle Master!!"
When the disciples saw Yuanxuan coming, they were very excited as if they had found a backer, and immediately told him everything.
Without waiting for Yuan Xuan to speak, Xi Sheng spoke first, "Layman, this evil woman has a lot of karma, there must be something strange about her, maybe she is an undercover agent of the evil cultivator. I think it is better to kill her by mistake than to let her go. Killing her is also a way of doing justice for the heavens."
"Elder Xi said that she was an undercover evil cultivator. Do you have any evidence?"
Xi Sheng's face was not very good. "Although I have no evidence, can't she explain the karma she has?"
Who among the serious monks would have such heavy karma?
Yuan Xuan asked back: "She has a lot of karma, which is the result of her bad karma in the past. She will have to bear the consequences in the future. But that is her own karma and has nothing to do with others.
If we kill without a warrant or a license based solely on our personal likes and dislikes, then what is the difference between us and those evil demons who act recklessly and without regard for the law of reincarnation?
Not to mention that Daoist Zhao once saved a disciple of the Tianxing Sect, so he is indebted to the Tianxing Sect."
Although not much.
But Yuanxuan's words could not dispel Xisheng's murderous intention.
"Then according to what you said, why should we righteous people exterminate evil demons? We will be punished by heaven anyway. Killing demons and monsters, isn't that a joke?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but said, "Fellow Daoist, don't argue. Yuan Xuan said that without evidence, you can't just kill people. The evil deeds done by those evil demons you mentioned have witnesses and evidence, so naturally everyone can punish them.
Daoist Zhao has been in the Tianxing Sect for a long time, why haven't you been seen enforcing justice before? Now you are shouting for death, but it's just that your beloved daughter died and you want to kill people to vent your anger.
If everyone is led by emotions and opinions, what should we do if one day the "bad guy" is framed? What should we do when the bad guy who is framed is "ourselves"? "
Xiao Xiao agreed with Yuan Xuan's point of view that Zhao Zhaodi was suspicious, but all of this was just their subjective conjecture and there was no evidence.
Without evidence, you cannot kill anyone. This is the bottom line.
Because no one knows whether Zhao Zhaodi is really a "bad person".
Zhao Zhaodi suddenly raised her head and said, "I can swear to the Heaven that I did not kill Fellow Daoist Xi. If I am lying, please punish me immediately and let my soul fly away. Can this prove my innocence?"
After Zhao Zhaodi swore, nothing happened and no one nodded, which showed that she really didn't kill the person.
Xi Sheng stared at Zhao Zhaodi, not wanting to miss the subtle expression on her face: "Don't give me an opportunity. Your skills are definitely not enough to kill my son. Then do you dare to swear that my son's death has nothing to do with you?"
Everyone looked at Zhao Zhaodi, waiting for her answer.
"Senior, your words are somewhat ambiguous. How should we define relationship? If your daughter gets mad at me and wants to vent her anger after returning home, and happens to run into an evil cultivator and gets killed, does this count as having something to do with me?"
She's adding fuel to the fire!
Xiao Xiao quickly realized this, but why?
Xi Sheng's eyes were about to burst into flames, "You witch, you still dare to say that my son's death has nothing to do with you?!"
"I am just raising doubts. With all the seniors of Tianxing Sect here, you have no evidence. I think it is impossible for you to take my life."
Xiao Xiao and Yuan Xuan looked at each other and both realized something was wrong.
Zhao Zhaodi's action was to provoke Xi Sheng and she was seeking death!
"What do you think about this matter tomorrow, Junior Brother?" Master Mingyan looked at Yuanxuan.
Yuan Xuan groaned for a moment and said, "The sect will continue to hunt down the real murderer. Daoist Zhao cannot leave Tianxing Sect until the truth is found out."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
Xi Sheng had a sinister look on his face and tried hard to suppress his dissatisfaction.
It would be better if this witch didn't leave Tianxing Sect. I would find a chance to kill her sooner or later and avenge Qingqing!
