Jue Mingzi looked terrified. Under Li Sisui's cold gaze, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He was guilty and had no intention of denying it. If it weren't for the support of the Longevity Daoist, he probably would have run away long ago!
"Jue Mingzi, I have already told you personally that I have no interest in the position of Sect Master of Luoyun Sect, so why do you still resort to such despicable means! Why!"
Jue Mingzi's face turned bright red, and he felt aggrieved. Ever since Li Sisui admitted that he had no interest in the position of sect leader, Jue Mingzi had no hostility towards this grandmaster. As for the matter of the man in black, he believed that he was telling the truth and had not embellished anything. Why did his grandmaster say such unpleasant things?
The Immortal Daoist narrowed his eyes, seeing the aggrieved look in Jue Mingzi's eyes, and then seeing Li Sisui's hair standing on end in anger, he immediately spoke righteously:
"Jue Mingzi, let's just speak frankly, so that our grandmaster doesn't hold a grudge. Our grandmaster is a reasonable person, and once he knows the truth, he will definitely not make things difficult for you!"
With the support of the Immortal Daoist, Jue Mingzi took a deep breath, slowly rose from the ground, and said solemnly:
"Grandmaster Uncle, I really had no intention of causing trouble. It's just that when I returned from Shenxiao Palace, I encountered a man in black. The latter was very powerful, and after being captured, I had no choice but to tell the truth. After all, that man was quite angry at the time and even threatened to wipe out the Luoyun Sect if I told any lies. I had no choice but to tell the truth!"
Cassia Seed looked aggrieved, paused, and continued:
"After that, I told that my grandmaster the truth about his whereabouts and advised that person that my grandmaster had left the Luoyun Sect and would never return. But that person did not believe me. Only after confirming with my master that what I said was true did he stop flying into a rage. As for the things he did, such as setting up formations in the sect, I knew nothing about them!"
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Daoist echoed with unwavering certainty:
"Grandmaster Uncle, Jue Mingzi's words are all true, I can testify to that. Please don't blame us. It's just that the man in black is very powerful, and we had no choice but to do it. Now that Grandmaster Uncle has returned and killed the man in black, he has eliminated the future threat to the sect. I was just worried that this person would be lying in wait at the gate for a long time. Now it's all right. We no longer need to live in fear that this person will destroy the sect. Thank you for your righteous help, Grandmaster Uncle!"
As they spoke, Jue Mingzi and Changsheng Daoren bowed to Li Sisui in unison, their attitude sincere and their words resolute. Although Li Sisui's expression softened, his face grew even more somber, and he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth:
"That's not what I meant. Why did Jue Mingzi leak my location information to Shenxiao Palace?"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the master and disciple looked terrified. Jue Mingzi's eyes flickered with disbelief, while Changsheng Daoren appeared much more experienced. His shock vanished in an instant, replaced by a puzzled expression. He turned to Jue Mingzi and asked:
Is this true?
Seeing the Changsheng Daoist's expression, Jue Mingzi seemed to realize something, and resolutely shook his head, saying decisively:
"Grandmaster Uncle, I don't know where you get this idea. Apart from accompanying you to Shenxiao Palace once before, I have never been there again. How could I possibly reveal your location information?"
Jue Mingzi denied it outright, which Li Sisui never expected. After all, it was said by the elder of Shenxiao Palace himself. Given the situation of the people in Shenxiao Palace at that time, it was absolutely impossible for them to lie to him. Could it be a delaying tactic?
Seeing Jue Mingzi's resolute attitude, Li Sisui couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could it be that he had really been wronged?
The furious momentum he had just displayed momentarily turned hesitant. Seeing this, Jue Mingzi exchanged a glance with Changsheng Daoren and said in a resounding voice:
"I wonder where Grandmaster Uncle heard these rumors from? Did you just believe one side of the story and then brand your disciple with the crime of betraying your master and ancestors?"
"I don't know where my grandmaster uncle heard this from, but Jue Mingzi would never do something so outrageous!"
Originally, Li Si came to confront them, but now the tables have turned. However, upon closer reflection, they realized they had no witnesses or evidence, and their claims were truly baseless...
On the surface, Jue Mingzi remained calm and composed, but inwardly he was in turmoil. If it weren't for the support of Changsheng Daoren, he probably would have already admitted that, although he didn't know where his grandmaster had heard the news from, the person he had contacted at the time was not from Shenxiao Palace, and there were several people in between.
After all, given his status, he wasn't at the point where he could directly communicate with the Divine Firmament Palace. This actually helped him a lot, preventing him from exposing himself. Even if he knew the name, he wasn't the only one named Jue Mingzi on Wulipo, so he couldn't use that as evidence!
Thinking this way, Jue Mingzi's panicked mind finally calmed down a lot. In addition, with Changsheng Daoren by his side, even though his grandmaster's strength was unpredictable, he wouldn't just take unreasonable action, would he?
Just as Jue Mingzi thought of this, he saw that Li Sisui, who had been hesitant just now, suddenly became extremely murderous. An invisible domain spread out and enveloped Jue Mingzi and his disciple. Immediately afterwards, he felt the surrounding space stagnate, as if he had fallen into an endless swamp. Even his breathing and blinking became slow!
While Jue Mingzi and his disciple were still stunned, a transparent short sword silently slid out from the white mark between Li Sisui's eyebrows and slowly headed straight for Jue Mingzi's eyebrows. Changsheng Daoren's mouth was wide open, but in the realm of slow swords, it would take a lot of time to say a complete sentence. In that time, the transparent short sword would have already pierced through Jue Mingzi's head!
"Cassia Seed! I'll ask you one last time, is it really you?!"
Following the attack of the transparent short sword was Li Sisui's chilling question. Jue Mingzi's eyes were unfocused. He couldn't even move, let alone try to summon the Blazing Cloud Spear. He was as frail as an old man. There was no way to dodge the transparent short sword. Recalling Li Sisui's heroic figure in the Divine Firmament Palace, where he fought against a hundred men single-handedly, Jue Mingzi was terrified!
He didn't even have time to turn his head to look at the Immortal Daoist before slowly kneeling down and kowtowing, saying:
"Grandmaster Uncle, this has nothing to do with me! I was just following Master's orders. I had no choice!"
Is this really true?
"If I utter even the slightest falsehood, may I be punished by Heaven and annihilated, body and soul! Grandmaster Uncle can ask Master if it is truly not my fault. I beg you, Grandmaster Uncle, to show mercy and spare my life!"
Jue Mingzi trembled violently, prostrating himself on the ground, not daring to look up at Li Sisui again. Cultivators always cherish their lives, and no one would joke with their own. Given Jue Mingzi's past actions, even without this incident, Li Sisui's killing of him would have been justified and reasonable...
Li Sisui's face showed a look of surprise. He never expected that the Immortal Daoist was the mastermind behind it all. Although his mind was instantly in a mess, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Immortal Daoist, who was already dumbfounded. After a long while, he gave the Immortal Daoist a cold glance, his voice seemingly coming from the deepest hell:
"What explanation does the sect leader have?"
