There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the fifth elder.
She didn't expect that Mu Lingjiu was not dead, nor did she expect that Mu Lingjiu would dare to come back.
This is really courageous.
"How dare you come back, you evil creature!"
Mu Lingjiu's expression remained unchanged and he was very calm. He bowed to the headmaster.
"I am being oppressed and hunted by the Five Elders and others in the Trial Restricted Area. I would like to ask the Sect Leader to take charge of this matter for me."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples present were excited, and the discussion swept across the entire Xuanxian Sect like a heat wave.
"What do you mean? Why is the Fifth Elder targeting her?"
"Shouldn't it be? What's her background? Would the Fifth Elder really want to attack her?"
"Does anyone know what's going on? Tell me..."
Everyone was looking at the situation in shock and confusion. Mu Lingjiu stood in the hall with a calm expression, neither humble nor arrogant.
On the other hand, the Fifth Elder looked a little panicked.
Without waiting for Mu Lingjiu to speak, the fifth elder attacked.
"That's nonsense. You killed a fellow disciple, so why not let me kill you?"
Mu Lingjiu dodged in a hurry and injured his arm. His whole hand was instantly covered in blood and flesh, revealing the white bones inside.
She showed no sign of pain, but calmly turned to look at the Fifth Elder. "Isn't it because my fellow disciples wanted to kill me, but I was not as skilled as them, so I killed them instead? Not only did the Fifth Elder not handle the matter impartially, but he used this as an excuse to eliminate me. I can't help but suspect that the Fifth Elder is colluding with those disciples who bullied me. Now he wants to kill me to silence me!"
The fifth elder was furious and was about to attack Mu Lingjiu again, but the sect leader immediately stopped him.
"Fifth Elder! Don't kill the disciples at will before the matter is clarified!"
Mu Yufeng and Mu Yushang from the crowd hurried out and stood on Mu Lingjiu's left and right.
"Lingjiu, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"Are the elders of the Xuanxian Sect so cruel as to kill disciples at will?"
"Should we still abide by the sect's rules or not?"
Mu Lingfeng held the sword, full of murderous aura and aggressiveness.
Mu Lingjiu originally had no emotions, but when someone protected her, she suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and her eyes inexplicably became red.
"Jiu'er, take a Dahuan Pill quickly." Mu Yushang quickly stuffed a pill into Mu Lingjiu's mouth.
The wound healed quickly, and flesh gradually grew on the arm that was originally covered in white bones.
The head of the sect glanced around and said coldly, "Mu Lingjiu, what you said is different from what the Fifth Elder said. How can I believe you?"
"When I joined the sect, I became enemies with Ziyu because I refused to give up my qualification as an inner disciple. Ziyu colluded with others to tamper with my rookie disciple's trial post. This item can verify it."
After saying that, Mu Lingjiu took out the tampered trial post. The time and place on the trial post were wrong, and there were no task details. It was obviously a fake trial post.
"That day, I was almost late because of this post. The Fifth Elder scolded me a few words but did not deal with the matter. I wonder how to deal with such a situation according to the sect's rules?"
The headmaster glanced at the fifth elder with a gloomy face.
Changing a disciple's trial card without authorization is a serious crime in the sect, as it is likely to cause huge losses to the sect. Instead of pursuing the matter, the Fifth Elder scolded Mu Lingjiu, which was a bit unusual.
Mu Lingjiu continued, "After entering the trial ground, I didn't have a mission card, so I wandered around the trial ground looking for medicinal herbs. Ziyu teamed up with Fang Yao and many of the disciples who protected me to surround and kill me. I had no choice but to fight back and killed Fang Yao, and Ziyu escaped.
Later, the fifth elder openly shouted in the restricted area, asking all disciples to hunt me down. If I didn't take action, I would die in the restricted area. Therefore, Lu Ba and Chen Gong were killed.
"What do you say about the other disciples being poisoned?" asked the headmaster.
"I picked some poisonous mushrooms. When the Fifth Elder attacked me, he broke my mushroom bag and the spores spilled out. It's not my fault..."
As soon as these words were spoken, there were gasps and exclamations from all around.
They felt extremely thrilled just by listening to Mu Lingjiu's narration, and the Fifth Elder's expression showed some disgust.
I didn’t expect that the Fifth Elder would do such a thing!
The Fifth Elder immediately retorted, "Nonsense! I have no grudge against you, so why would I attack you? Isn't it because you have a bad heart? You can't even tell if the invitation is real or fake. It's your fault!"
Mu Yushang sneered, "My Lingjiu has just joined the Xuanxian Sect and has no idea what a sect post looks like. How can you expect her to tell? And you, on the other hand, allowed someone to change her post. How can that be justified?"
The Sect Master was silent for a moment, then said, "Both sides are at fault in this matter. Although Mu Lingjiu was targeted, he also killed his fellow disciples. He should stay in the mountains for the next few days and copy the sect rules a hundred times."
"Just reciting the sect rules a hundred times is enough?" The Fifth Elder was somewhat displeased. "She killed so many disciples! And they were all your disciples!"
The headmaster was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting it to be his own disciple.
He had too many disciples and was busy dealing with sect affairs on a daily basis, so he had no time to observe carefully. Every time he gave a lecture, there were more than a hundred disciples listening together, so he never watched it carefully.
Hearing that it was his apprentice, he felt a little distressed.
"It seems I need to spend more time disciplining my disciples."
Seeing that he really had no intention of attacking Mu Lingjiu, the Fifth Elder said:
"Brother, Ziyu is from the Zi family. She has been seriously injured by Mu Lingjiu. The Zi family will definitely need an explanation."
"The Zi family?" The head of the Xuanxian Sect narrowed his eyes. He had heard of this family, but that was all.
"A family of moderate size raises a daughter like that, and they still have the nerve to ask for an explanation?" The head of the family was obviously a little angry.
Seeing this, the fifth elder did not dare to say anything more. It seemed that the leader really did not intend to punish Mu Lingjiu.
The fifth elder just gave Mu Lingjiu a cold look with a warning look in his eyes.
"Master, let's take a look at the results of this trial."
The headmaster nodded, this is the key point!
He glanced at the poisoned disciples and asked, "Have you completed your mission?"
The disciples took out the materials for the tasks they had completed in the past few days, but most of them were not complete. Most of their medicinal materials had been taken away by Mu Lingjiu first, and only a few of them completed the tasks.
Mu Lingjiu took out the items she needed for her mission. She wasn't sure if Chen Gong was lying.
Fortunately, she picked a lot of things, including animal crystals and various medicinal herbs, which filled up a large pile.
Mu Lingjiu alone had gathered more herbs than everyone else combined. This overwhelming advantage was self-evident. It was clear that Mu Lingjiu was the first in this trial.
The headmaster looked at Mu Lingjiu with a little more appreciation. Although Mu Lingjiu was very ruthless in her actions, she was also very capable and had great potential to become a strong person.
The Fifth Elder hadn't expected Mu Lingjiu to actually complete the mission, considering she didn't even have a mission card...
Her expression changed again and again, and she began to think more highly of Mu Lingjiu. This woman must not be kept, as she would definitely become a disaster in the future.
