Today, the entire Taixu Sect is in panic!
Bai Pengju, what is that identity?
He is one of the masters of the six major peaks and an absolute leader of the sect.
Such a person died inexplicably. If the truth is not investigated thoroughly, Taixu Sect will become a huge laughing stock.
For a moment, everyone in the sect was paying attention to this matter.
As a result, Chu Zhatian, who had already been pushed to the forefront because of the "Battle of Guixu", was directly put into the fire.
In order to give an explanation to Baihu Peak and the entire sect, the investigation and interrogation of this matter was conducted in a semi-public manner.
That morning!
Punishment Hall!
The Hall of Conscience!
The hall master, He Shouzheng, sat high up in the hall with a solemn expression.
Sect leader Yue Shuihan, Grand Supreme Bai Changqing, Second Supreme Xu Beiwang, and Fourth Supreme Ji Yinlian personally supervised the trial!
Chu Zhatian stood in the hall as a suspect.
Next to him was Bai Pengju's body.
In the main hall, there was also a group of people who were qualified or needed to be present to "listen in".
Bai Pengju's wife Zhong Wanlin and a group of people from Baihu Peak were all staring at Chu Zhatian with red eyes.
It was as if he had already determined that the other person was the murderer and wanted to eat him alive.
It is worth mentioning that Yueyue also came here with everyone from Suzaku Peak under the order of the "Punishment Hall".
At this moment, she was being held by Zhang Dalei, looking at her father with tears in her eyes!
"Zhatian, please explain clearly what is going on.
With your great-grandfather here, no one can wrong you."
The Second Supreme, Xu Beiwang, glanced at the others and spoke angrily.
He came over to supervise the trial specifically to support Chu Zhatian, fearing that the other party would be treated unfairly.
"Beiwang, the one who died this time was the head of a peak, this is a matter of great importance!
Whether Chu Zhatian was wronged or not will only be known after the trial.
You must not make subjective judgments before this!"
Bai Changqing retorted sharply!
There was also a hint of coldness in the eyes he and Ji Yinlian looked at Chu Zhaitian.
It was as if he also regarded the other party as the murderer who killed his own grandson.
But who is the real murderer? They probably know better than anyone else...
"snort!"
Xu Beiwang snorted coldly and wanted to argue with Bai Changqing for a few more words.
Chu Zhaitian smiled slightly at this time: "Great-grandfather, it's okay! The innocent will be innocent!"
At this moment, a voice filled with hatred rang out.
"You are the murderer, and you will be cleared if you pay?"
"In the entire Taixu Sect, apart from you, a bastard, who else would want to harm my husband's life at this time?"
The one who spoke was Zhong Wanlin.
The woman first lost her beloved son, and then her husband.
At this moment, his hatred towards Chu Zhaitian was overwhelming!
"Mrs. Bai, please don't accuse me without any evidence."
"What makes you think that Zhatian is the murderer?"
Yue Chaolu immediately sneered and asked with a pout.
"What do you think? This bastard and my husband had just decided on the Battle of Guixu when Pengju was tragically ambushed.
How could such a coincidence happen in this world?"
"And after investigation, my husband was poisoned by the Dark Night Palace's 'Bone-Eroding Powder' before his death."
"As if it weren't for the unfortunate fate of Chu Zhaitian, the only person in the entire Taixu Sect who has a connection with the Dark Night Palace."
"Isn't his daughter a 'demon seed' cultivated by the Dark Night Palace? That bastard Chu Zhaitian must have colluded with the Dark Night Palace a long time ago."
“That’s why I was able to get this ‘Bone-Eroding Powder’!”
Zhong Wanlin's words are sharp.
And all the doubts she raised did point the finger at Chu Zhatian!
"Zhong Wanlin! You are making up a false accusation!"
The Second Supreme retorted angrily.
He had a hot temper. How could he listen to the other party slandering Chu Zhatian like this?
"Beiwang, please be aware of your identity! We are only here to supervise the trial."
"Whatever the truth is, Shouzheng will decide for himself! You can't prevent the deceased's family from expressing their doubts."
Bai Changqing glanced at Xu Beiwang and warned him coldly.
At this time, He Shouzheng cleared his throat and said, "Based on the various characteristics of the corpse, we can conclude that Lord Bai Feng was killed at 3:00 PM last night.
He must have been poisoned first and then killed.
In order to cover up the crime, the murderer inflicted various injuries on him.
It’s hard to tell which of these injuries is fatal.”
At this point, the Punishment Hall Master stared at Chu Zhaitian sternly and said, "Chu Zhaitian, let me ask you, where were you at 3:00 PM last night, what were you doing, and who were you with?"
Yin hour?
Xu Ruyan came to see me last night, it seemed like it was at the hour of Yin.
So when Chu Zhaitian heard this question, his gaze immediately turned towards a certain direction in the hall.
There, Xu Hongtu, Xu Ruyan and Zhang Beichen were sitting.
They are also qualified to attend the trial as observers.
As for Xu Ruyun, having just made a breakthrough, he was now in seclusion to consolidate his realm, so he did not receive the news and rushed over!
Feeling Chu Zhatian's gaze, Xu Ruyan sneered.
A look of resentment and mockery appeared on his face.
Chu Zhatian, do you know you need me now?
Damn man, do you regret it?
I'm going to watch you take the blame on purpose!
Xu Ruyan thought viciously in her heart.
Then, she pretended to be puzzled and said:
"Why are you looking at me? You don't want me to prove your alibi by saying you were with me at the time, do you?"
"Haha, don't let your wishful thinking get you started! I, Xu Ruyan, am a man of integrity. How could I possibly help you bear false witness?"
