"So what if you saw it? They were just cut by grass. Their fatal wounds were all wounds to the neck. Do you want to deny it?"
Master Zhou spoke in a very loud voice, as if this could make everyone agree with him.
Su Man's heart moved, "May I ask where did Sect Leader Zhou find them?"
Master Zhou said unhappily, "You know that sawtooth grass grows abundantly on Jimu Mountain."
Su Man ignored his attitude and calmly analyzed, "Jimu Mountain is full of sawtooth grass, so it's understandable that they got some cuts on their legs. But if they were cut by the grass while walking, the wounds would definitely be irregularly distributed, but the marks on their legs are very regular."
As soon as Su Man finished speaking, Shui Lingjun also leaned over to check. After a moment, he agreed, "Not bad."
Master Zhou was impatient, "What does this prove?"
"This means they were most likely trapped and killed by something. And this kind of technique that can control grass and plants is only known to the demons."
Su Man stood up straight and looked directly at Sect Master Zhou. "Just now, Sect Master Zhou said that Song Zimo couldn't defeat so many Thunder Sect disciples on his own, so he assumed that I, the Five Elements Spiritual Sect, was protecting him. Now it seems that he must have found other helpers."
"The demons..."
Master Zhou was slightly distracted. He didn't bother to find fault. He squatted down and lifted up their trouser legs one by one to look at the wounds on their legs.
Just as Su Man said, the wounds on their legs were surprisingly similar.
Even though he had been cleared of suspicion of being a member of the Five Elements Spiritual Sect, Sect Master Zhou still spoke harshly, "Haha, your Five Elements Spiritual Sect disciples are truly promising. Some of them have had unclear relationships with the Demon Lord, and now some have defected to the Demon Clan. It's truly thanks to Lord Shui Ling's teaching that you've done a great job."
When the disciples in the hall heard this, they were all furious and wished they could wash his mouth at public expense.
Only Su Man, who had an "unclear" relationship with the Demon Lord, remained calm. "Master Zhou was right. Our master only taught us to slay demons and protect the people. Unlike Master Zhou, who cares about the world and always pays attention to our Five Elements Spiritual Sect's every move, I believe that if these fellow Taoists hadn't worried too much, they wouldn't have died young."
“…”
The cold knife stabbed Master Zhou's chest randomly. His face turned pale and he walked away without saying a word.
After everyone from the Thunder Sect left, Shanan couldn't help but say, "Junior Sister, you're simply the young Justice Bao!"
Su Man smiled slightly, hiding her achievements and fame.
Shui Lingjun looked at Su Man and said with relief, "Man'er has grown up."
...
But the matter did not end there, because Sect Leader Zhou was killed on the way back to Thunder Sect, and the wound was still caused by the Five Elements Spirit Sect's skills.
This incident caused a huge uproar. After all, all the disciples of the Thunder Sect knew that their leader had gone to the Five Elements Spirit Sect to demand an explanation for the murder of his fellow disciples. They did not expect that even the leader would be killed. For a while, all the disciples of the Thunder Sect gathered at the foot of the Five Elements Spirit Sect.
"Shui Lingjun, get out here!"
"You killed my fellow disciples and harmed my master. Today, I will make you pay with blood!"
On the distant cliff
Seeing this scene, Song Zimo smiled. Behind him were thousands of demon guards, all standing in formation.
The leader You Chuxia was dressed in military uniform and riding a unicorn, side by side with Song Zimo.
"If you want to save my brother, why not just attack directly? Why bother to kill Sect Leader Zhou and lure these useless Taoist priests up the mountain?"
"Princess, have you ever heard the saying 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'? Although the demon clan's soldiers are brave and skilled in battle, the Five Elements Spiritual Sect, as the world's largest sect, is naturally also extremely powerful. When two tigers clash, one is bound to be injured. But if we ask the Thunder Sect to be our vanguard, that would be a different story."
You Chuxia looked at the Taoists who couldn't hold back and attacked, and reluctantly agreed with Song Zimo's words.
-
The sound of weapons echoed throughout the valley.
Shanan was leading his disciples to resist the onslaught of the Thunder Sect disciples. While fighting, he explained, "We didn't kill your Sect Leader. Stop fighting."
"Do you think we will believe your nonsense?"
Shanan spoke earnestly, "Although we dislike Sect Leader Zhou, even if you wanted to kill us, you wouldn't do it so high-profile! Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
“…”
The people across from Shanan fell into deep thought after hearing his words. Suddenly, a square-faced cultivator shouted, "The Five Elements Spiritual Sect's people are the most cunning. Don't be fooled by them!"
After saying that, he threw his hands and said, "Prepare to die!!"
Several darts flashing with cold light stabbed towards Shanan's face.
Shanan was not prepared for his sneak attack and could only watch the flying knife getting closer and closer to him.
In an instant, he had touched the Grim Reaper's scythe.
Just when he was regretting not having an extra chicken leg for supper last night, the hidden weapon was swept away by a soft sword.
Shanan reacted and said in surprise, "Junior sister!"
Su Man stood beside him, took a deep breath and said loudly, "Fellow disciples of the Thunder Sect, please listen to me. We are all very sad about the death of Sect Leader Zhou, but this matter has nothing to do with our Five Elements Spiritual Sect. Please be patient and don't fall for others' schemes to sow discord!"
The square-faced monk who had just launched the sneak attack sneered, "She's trying to quibble despite the overwhelming evidence. We must not be fooled by her! The hatred for killing our master is irreconcilable. If we don't kill the old thief Shui today, how can our Thunder Sect still have the dignity to survive!"
"That's right!"
"Revenge for Master!"
"Fight them!"
With his mobilization, the disciples of the Thunder Sect were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Su Man also noticed the man who had been setting the pace from the beginning. She kicked two monks away one by one and grabbed him.
