Inner gate discipline hall, interrogation hall.
In this familiar night, Ling Luo followed Hall Master Fan into the interrogation room. As soon as she knelt down, she received several complicated and indescribable gazes.
Sitting in the main seat was the head of Dongdao Tianji, Mu Hengtian.
Because he is a person of high level cultivation, his temperament and appearance are well maintained, and he does not show any signs of aging. In fact, he looks even gentler, making people want to get close to him and love him.
He wears a golden crown, the symbol of the leader.
Mu Hengtian lowered his eyes and looked down at Lingluo.
In her previous life, Ling Luo lowered her head and avoided him out of fear. In this life, she waited for him quietly, and then caught a subtle disgust in the first glance.
It is true.
Whether in the past life or this life, Sect Leader Mu hated her the first time he saw her.
There came into the room two sect leaders, three elders, a hall master, and a Mu Ya watching.
It’s a grand ceremony, but it’s not over yet.
The people sitting on her left were the chief elder and disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, one of the twelve major immortal sects.
They are all one of the twelve major immortal sects, but Xiaoyao Sect and Tianji are both located in East Island, and Xiaoyao Sect has only a three hundred year history, while Tianji has a history of over a thousand years.
The reason why Tianji is named Dongdao is because the entire Dongdao once belonged to Tianji.
In later times, the world changed dramatically, immortal sects emerged everywhere, and East Island was split into several cities.
Xiaoyao Sect is in the south of Dongdao, and Tianji is in the north of Dongdao, but only the dominant sect that has existed for thousands of years can be named Dongdao.
Ling Luo lowered her head and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets the master."
Only when meeting the head of the Mu family in Dongdao Tianji must one perform the grand ceremony.
After Ling Luo finished speaking, the Xiaoyao Sect's disciples stood up and shouted angrily: "You murderer!"
Ling Luo's expression remained unchanged. Yun Shouxi, who was sitting next to her, looked up lazily.
"Rong Xian." The Xiaoyao Sect's Great Elder said in a deep voice, "It's not your turn to speak yet, step back!"
The boy named Rong Xian looked only one or two years older than Ling Luo, and his eyes were full of resentment as he looked at Ling Luo.
"Lingluo, I called you here today because Xiaoyao Sect informed us that when they were investigating the murder of the great elder's granddaughter Jinyuan, they found that the murderer had infiltrated our Dongdao Tianji and became a disciple of the inner sect."
Mu Hengtian, sitting on the high seat, spoke slowly, with no emotion to be heard: "They say that this inner sect disciple is you, Lingluo, are you the murderer who killed Jinyuan as they say?"
Every word this person said was the same as in his previous life, even the tone of voice did not change.
Lingluo really thought she would die here.
The two leaders of Dongdao Tianji, the elders and the hall master, plus the great elder of Xiaoyao Sect who hated her to the core - even if she fought to death and tried her best, there was no way she could escape from these people.
It doesn’t work now either.
Even if Yun Shouxi would not kill her, the remaining few people would not show mercy.
Not to mention that Mu Hengtian had already advocated killing her.
So she was deeply moved that Yun Shouxi protected her and saved her life in the interrogation room, and she secretly vowed to stay alive and repay her master.
Ling Luo raised her head and said in a deep voice, "No."
She denied it.
In her previous life, she was forced to confess and was sentenced to death. Mu Hengtian wanted to give an explanation to the Xiaoyao Sect and had to kill her.
Although she could not escape punishment in this life, she would never admit it today.
"No?" Mu Hengtian frowned, his tone still gentle, "Great Elder, what do you think?"
The Great Elder looked at Ling Luo with a grim expression. Rong Xian beside him said, "You lied! On that day at the end of February this year, you went down the mountain to look for your sister Yuzhi, but you murdered Jinyuan who had returned from the mountain! You killed her with my Xiaoyao Sect's sword technique, escaped from the sect, and headed north to Tianji, East Island!"
When she heard her sister's name, Lingluo moved her eyes and looked at the man with a cold gaze.
This glance is very light.
Only Hall Master Fan and Yun Shouxi were slightly surprised.
These two are the ones who pay close attention to Lingluo in Dongdao Tianji. They have also seen Lingluo's identity file recorded in Tianji many times. They didn't know that Lingluo had a younger sister before.
Rong Xian hated her so much that her finger almost poked her nose: "You are so ungrateful! Back then, Senior Brother Chen and Jin Yuan saw that you two sisters were homeless and being bullied, and they felt sorry for you and took you back to Xiaoyao Sect to settle down and provide you with food, clothing and shelter! Senior Brother Chen even asked Master to accept you two as disciples, but Master refused, so he taught you swordsmanship in private, and was even punished by Master for this!"
"Jinyuan often comes to visit you two and takes you to the mountain gate to play! He also often gives you your own snacks and treats you better than his fellow sisters!"
ridiculous!
She was jealous of Brother Chen's love for Yuzhi, and bullied Yuzhi for not being able to speak, mocking her for being mute. She brought the shy Yuzhi into the Xiaoyao Sect's mountain gate, making her look like a clown and being laughed at by everyone!
Ling Luo listened calmly, even a little indifferent. She knelt on the ground with her back straight. When the moonlight fell on her, she looked as delicate and beautiful as a porcelain doll.
"Lingluo, ask yourself this question with your conscience! Did Senior Brother Chen teach you sword skills to protect yourself so that you can kill Jinyuan? "
If we go back to that year:
She would never ask Senior Brother Chen for help, thinking that she could find a shelter in this suffering world, so she took Yuzhi to Xiaoyao Sect.
Moreover, when Senior Brother Chen suggested practicing sword skills to protect himself, he would not follow him to practice, leaving Yuzhi alone in the house.
It was her departure on that day that gave Jinyuan the opportunity to trick Yuzhi down the mountain.
She didn't even get to see her own sister for the last time.
However, the jade spirit bead that belonged to her sister recorded all the sufferings she endured before her death.
As long as Lingluo takes out the Jade Spirit Pearl and lets them see what the Pearl records, public opinion that favors her will instantly side with her.
Even the great elder had nothing to say.
Because her sister Yuzhi was killed by his granddaughter Jinyuan.
Lingluo killed Jinyuan just to avenge her sister.
Mu Hengtian would not throw her to the Discipline Hall to be punished for violating the sect rules.
But no matter in the previous life or in this life, Lingluo would never give up the Jade Spirit Pearl.
The Jade Spirit Pearl records how Yuzhi was humiliated and killed during her lifetime.
So many people, both men and women, did such heartless things to her cute and sweet sister who had no voice.
Even if Lingluo died, she would never let anyone other than herself see Yuzhi being humiliated again.
Under the gloomy gaze of the Great Elder and Rong Xian's angry shouting, Ling Luo remained unshaken and simply said, "It's not me."
Rong Xian was obviously very angry, his face was red, and his hands were shaking slightly: "Well, what a shameless person! To say you are ungrateful is an understatement! You know that Junior Sister Jinyuan was killed by you, and after you escaped, Senior Brother Chen was in great pain when he saw Jinyuan's body, and thought it was all his fault, so he committed suicide the next day!"
Lingluo remained indifferent.
She said, "What does it have to do with me?"
"You, you are a beast!" Rong Xian wanted to draw his sword and kill her on the spot.
Yun Shouxi frowned unhappily. He put down the cup in his hand, making a slight crisp sound, which attracted the sidelong glance of Mu Hengtian above and also attracted the attention of the great elder opposite.
If Ling Luo was just an inner sect disciple, there would be no need for the sect leader to interrogate her personally. Mu Hengtian would directly hand her over to the Discipline Hall for trial, and there would be a high probability that she would eventually be handed over to the Xiaoyao Sect.
The difficulty at this time lies in the fact that Ling Luo is not only an inner disciple, but also Yun Shouxi's direct disciple.
It is no secret that Yun Shouxi likes this little disciple in Dongdao Tianji.
No matter whether Ling Luo says yes or no today, what ultimately determines her life or death is actually Yun Shouxi's attitude.
When they were waiting for Yun Shouxi to speak in tacit understanding, Rong Xian spoke first. He angrily cursed: "Your mute sister is just as bastard as you! She doesn't know how to repay kindness, but only--"
Ling Luo laughed when she heard this. She unfolded the cherry trees so quickly that Mu Hengtian and the others had no time to stop her. The interrogation room was already occupied by cherry trees, and three or five cherry branches grew out of their bodies, sprouting, branching out, and blooming.
The Sakura Xi Spirit has been activated.
No one present could have imagined that Ling Luo would be so bold that she would dare to take action in front of the leaders and elders of the two factions!
Seeing Lingluo already holding Yingxi in front of Rongxian, Mu Hengtian said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
The Xiaoyao Sect's Great Elder's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Evil beast!"
The flowers fell from the branches, and bloomed with the vitality absorbed from the bodies of several head elders. They were so powerful that they blocked the great elder's close-range killing move, but failed to block the whip in Mu Hengtian's hand.
The soul-binding whip hit Ling Luo's back fiercely. She frowned slightly, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but she still grabbed Rong Xian's collar. Her eyes reflected the other's terrified look, and she whispered: "You should be glad that she died early."
If it were her now, or if she was reborn before Jin Yuan's death - just one or two sword moves would not be enough to ease the hatred in her heart.
The sound was so subtle that only Rong Xian could hear it amid the surging tide of the dancing cherry blossoms.
Ying Xi's spirit was dispersed by Yun Shouxi, and Xiaoyao Sect's Great Elder Yu Qi stepped forward again: "Give me back my granddaughter's life!"
Yun Shouxi teleported in front of Lingluo and stopped her with a wave of his sleeve. At the same time, he heard Lingluo say to Rong Xian, "You are not worthy of mentioning my sister. If I hear you call her by her name again, I will kill you no matter where you are."
At this moment, she was quite free and full of evil spirit.
As one of the twenty-six demons, she razed the Xiaoyao Sect to the ground.
A mere disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect is no more than an ant in front of her. He once knelt at her feet, crying bitterly and begging for a way to live, but now he stands in front of her, pointing at her nose, cursing and stepping on her reverse scale.
It's really ridiculous.
Yun Shouxi leaned over and said in a gentle voice, "Lingluo."
Lingluo then let go, staggered slightly, and fell to her knees again.
The Soul Binding Whip in Mu Hengtian's hand was one of his magical weapons. He had hit her hard just now. The cold pain penetrated into every part of her body and roamed around madly, causing her mouth to bleed again.
Ling Luo raised her head and wiped it. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her lips were stained red with blood. But she said, "You can ask me a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, but it's not me."
Although Rong Xian was frightened to the point of weakness, he quickly recovered and said, "You're lying!"
"That's enough." Yun Shouxi said calmly, "Since she said it's not her, then it's not her. It seems that the murderer that Xiaoyao Sect is looking for is not in our Tianji."
"Third Master, are you going to favor your own disciple?" the Great Elder asked in a deep voice.
Yun Shouxi smiled and said, "Since he is my disciple, shouldn't I be partial to him?"
"Are the rules of Tianji just for show?" The Great Elder looked at Mu Hengtian who was sitting on the high seat, and he was so angry that he didn't care.
Mu Hengtian felt somewhat unhappy when he was questioned like this.
Although they are all one of the twelve major immortal sects, Tianji has never taken the Xiaoyao Sect, which has a three hundred year foundation, seriously.
Even in their eyes, this is just a small immortal gate.
You are just a Xiaoyao Sect, are you the one who dares to question the rules of our Tianji Sect?
Mu Hengtian's attitude was a little cold at the moment, and he said: "The elder determined that Lingluo was the murderer, but she said that she did not kill anyone. Neither of us has evidence. In this case, let Sanjian determine the truth."
After saying this, he turned and looked at Master Fan.
Master Fan's three magical powers have the ability to distinguish true from false.
Everyone knows this and will never question it.
"Come on, stretch out your hand." Master Fan came to Lingluo and stretched out his hand towards her. A strand of black silk thread flew out from between his index finger and wrapped around Lingluo's index finger.
Ling Luo lowered her eyes and looked at the strand of black silk.
This is the Three Seals of Divine Martial Arts.
She died here in her previous life.
Hall Master Fan asked, "Did you kill Jinyuan, the granddaughter of Xiaoyao Sect's great elder?"
Sanjian emitted a black light, and if she told a lie, Sanjian would cut off her fingers in an instant.
The three divine weapons can distinguish true from false. If it is true, nothing will happen. If it is false, a part of the person's body will definitely be taken away.
In her previous life, it was Yun Shouxi who saved the day and stopped Sanjian from cutting off her finger. Even so, the thread had penetrated deep into her flesh. If it hadn't been for all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, her index finger would have been crippled.
The person who could not tolerate the damage to Lingluo's body the most was Yun Shouxi.
In fact, no one present believed that Lingluo did not kill Jinyuan.
Even Yun Shouxi didn't believe it.
Because Xiaoyao Sect's statement was more complete than Lingluo's, and Lingluo did not deny that she had once lived in Xiaoyao Sect.
So when Mu Hengtian suggested using the Three Seals, Yun Shouxi was already fully focused, ready to rescue people from Hall Master Fan.
Master Fan asked again: "Lingluo, did you kill Jinyuan?"
Ling Luo looked at San Yin and licked her dry lips.
