When the two returned to the main hall, less than half an hour had passed.
One disciple shouted in surprise: "Look! They are back!"
Everyone immediately looked towards the entrance, and indeed saw Jing Mo and Lu Ming coming together. Both of them looked relaxed, and except for Jing Mo being covered in blood and Lu Ming's clothes being a little messy (……), there was nothing unusual.
Shen Shuyan came over and looked at the two of them carefully, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, there were no injuries, otherwise the head master would be very anxious.”
Jing Mo smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to my brother for arriving in time and pulling me out of the illusion, otherwise I would not have been able to come back safely."
Lu Ming patted his shoulder and asked, "Is the result of the competition out?"
Shen Shuyan nodded, and then said: “My fellow masters have already counted the results, I believe the results will be out soon.”
After the trip to the secret realm, Lu Ming had completely lost interest in the domineering value mission. There were too many reasons for him to stay here. Although he also wanted to go to the modern world to find out why Lu You had teamed up with others to kill him, he had thought a lot along the way. People always have to learn to make choices. In comparison, he would rather stay with Jing Mo, stay by his side, watch him get married and have children, and watch him live a happy life.
No matter what the real reason was for Lu You to kill him, it seems that it has become unimportant now. He was so sad and painful that he couldn't sleep all night, but fortunately, Jing Mo existed, which made him feel like he had grabbed the last straw and couldn't bear to throw it away. Besides, the inheritance he left after his death was enough for Lu You to have food and clothing for the rest of his life. If he squandered all his wealth and ended up helpless and poor for the rest of his life, it would be his own fault. He has grown up and it is time for him to take responsibility for his life and actions.
Lu Ming thought about this, and suddenly his heart became clear. The problem that had troubled him for a long time seemed to be solved. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he smiled lightly and warmly. Jing Mo turned his head and looked at Lu Ming's smiling face. He couldn't help but smile with him and said, "Brother, what are you so happy about?"
Lu Ming shook his head, and then said softly: "I just thought some things through."
Jing Mo was about to ask, but was suddenly interrupted by Yun Luan's voice transmission. Yun Luan stood in the center of the main hall, and his magnetic voice was heard by every disciple present: "The seven-day period has come, and the Shuize Secret Realm Trial Competition has ended. The person who hunts the most giant beasts will obtain the unique mental method of the Kunlai sect, and can also choose one of the three sects of refining weapons, refining medicine, and refining talismans to enter the Hunyuan Heavenly Mirror to select magic weapons."
When everyone present heard that the prizes were so generous, they couldn't help but secretly regret not killing more giant beasts. No wonder everyone was so fond of these prizes. In addition to Kun-Lai's unique mental skills, there were countless magical weapons in the Hunyuan Heavenly Mirror, some of which were even treasures that only existed in legends. If you have the opportunity to enter and choose a treasure that suits your taste, it would be a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes.
Thinking of this, all the disciples present turned their eyes to Lu Ming, all with envy on their faces. According to what he saw through the small mirror, Senior Brother Qing Ci should have killed the most giant beasts among all the people present.
Yun Luan continued, "The person who hunted the most giant beasts this time was He Qingci, but he broke the rules of the competition by entering the secret realm again, so he is disqualified from winning this competition."
Everyone was in an uproar. One of the disciples shouted, "Brother Qingci was only trying to rescue Brother Jingmo, why don't you make an exception this time?"
Yun Luan smiled faintly and said, "Once the rules are broken, they will no longer be effective. Although Qing Ci has a reason to return to the secret realm today, he cannot break the rules."
Although the disciples all felt sorry for Lu Ming, they could do nothing about it. The master's words made sense, so it was not good to argue too much. Seeing that he had no objections, Yun Luan continued, "Except for He Qingci, the disciple who hunted the most giant beasts is Jing Mo."
Jing Mo was slightly stunned, and glanced at Lu Ming who was standing beside him, hesitating to say: "Brother, it's all because of me that you..."
Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, patted his shoulder, and said with his usual indifferent expression: "It's okay, I didn't think much of this trial in the first place, and I'm even happier that you won first place."
Jing Mo nodded, the look in his eyes was like the brilliant stars dotted on the mirror lake, and when he looked at Luming, his eyes were as gentle as jade and as clear as a mirror. His brother was always so fascinating. His every word, every expression, and even every action could affect all his reason and emotions. Sometimes when he thought about it carefully, he would often feel that it was sweet and bitter, but he was happy with it and enjoyed it.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, a heavy and powerful shout suddenly sounded from the entrance to the secret realm.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. They saw Yun Che and an unfamiliar disciple standing in front of them, with a slightly solemn expression.
Yunluan asked, "What's the matter?"
Yun Che said to Yun Luan with a respectful expression: "Brother, yesterday a disciple tore open the protective amulet, so I rushed to the secret realm to rescue him, but I never expected to find this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Che took out a Qiankun bag, silently chanted a few spells, and something fell out of the bag. Everyone looked closely and gasped. The person lying on the ground was actually a disciple of the Kunlai sect. His eyes were wide open, blood was flowing from all seven orifices, and there was a huge bloody hole on his chest. At this moment, the blood had dried up, staining his light blue robe red. His face was purple, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
Yun Luan's expression became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Yun Luan added: "After I received the distress signal from my disciple yesterday, I immediately went to the secret realm to rescue him. Although there was a paper crane to lead the way, he was still killed when my disciples and I arrived."
"Human?" Yun Luan frowned and asked, "Brother, do you mean that he didn't die under the claws of the giant beast?"
Yun Che nodded, then pointed at the wounds on the corpse and said, "Brother, please look. This person is bleeding from all seven orifices and spewing black blood from his mouth. It is obvious that his heart and lungs were shattered. The bloody wound on his chest is flat and smooth, which should be caused by a round sharp weapon. If it was done by a giant beast, there are no claws or bites on his body. It is too far-fetched. So I think the murderer should be among the five hundred disciples who entered the secret realm."
When everyone heard this, a commotion immediately broke out in the crowd. Yunluan waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then asked, "Can we leave anything at the scene?"
Yun Che took out a wooden sign from his bosom and handed it to Yun Luan. A strange look flashed in his eyes, but it soon disappeared. He said, "This is the only thing left at the scene."
Yun Luan took the wooden sign and looked at it carefully. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he said, "This is the waist sign of a first-class disciple."
Yun Che nodded and said, "In the entire Kun-Lai, only fifty first-class disciples have the right to wear this waist badge. Other disciples cannot even touch it. Master, why don't you gather these fifty people together and check them one by one? The disciple without the waist badge is the culprit who killed his fellow disciples!"
Yun Luan pondered and said, "In that case, let's do as Junior Brother Yun Che said."
After Yun Luan's approval, Yun Che immediately said to everyone, "All first-class disciples, gather in front of the main hall."
Lu Ming had a bad feeling when he saw Yun Che. That day, after he overheard the conversation between Yun Che and the mysterious man, he fled in a hurry and was so careless that he left his waist badge in the secret realm, and it happened to be picked up by Yun Che who was chasing him. Now it seems that Yun Che had cruelly killed the Kun-Lai disciples in order to lure him out, and put the blame on him. In this way, not only can he bear the crime of murder, but also the person who eavesdropped on the conversation that day can be caught. It is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. His intention is vicious and sinister, which is rare.
Lu Ming clenched his fingers. If Yun Che succeeded in doing this in front of everyone, he would have no way to defend himself and would have to accept the crime of murder. Moreover, this waist badge was made by Master Fu Chen himself. Not only was the material hard to find, but it was also unique and could not be copied. Even if he entered the space and made a similar waist badge now, how could he not see it with Yun Luan, who was as smart as he was? He would only confess by then.
Beads of sweat appeared on Lu Ming's nose. He was in this difficult situation. What should he do?
Jing Mo has been standing in front of Lu Ming. He knows Lu Ming very well. How could he not know that Lu Ming's expression has been different since just now. Although his brother concealed it very well, he still couldn't escape Jing Mo's sharp intuition. Jing Mo's heart moved. Could this matter be related to his brother? His brother has a dull personality and never shows his emotions. Now this expression is really abnormal. It should be related to this matter. Although he doesn't know what his brother has experienced in the secret realm, he is always loyal to his brother. No matter what he does, he will choose to stand by him without hesitation, even if it means making enemies with the whole world. As long as he is the only person by his brother's side, it is the best thing in the world.
Thinking of this, Jing Mo reached out and gently held Lu Ming's somewhat cold hand, and then sent a message to Lu Ming: "Brother, don't worry, I have a way."
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, and looked up at Jing Mo. Jing Mo smiled at him, gave him a reassuring look, and continued to send him a voice message: "Brother, just wait patiently."
