Chapter 38
Ji Chuya's smile faded.
"Why, you don't believe I can save you? We were married and lived together for a few days. Don't you believe me? Only I can save you. Otherwise, you will be charged with betrayal and your soul will be torn apart."
Cassel ignored him.
The head of the sect on the high platform coughed twice, and the noisy sounds suddenly disappeared, and all eyes were focused here.
The head of the sect stood up, took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "Today on Yun Dian, my old disciple Tan Rong was killed by the demon cultivator and the mermaid king. Now the demon cultivator has escaped, and the other murderer is already in the audience. According to the confession, it was Yun Dian who was involved, and the traitor was someone close to the mermaid!"
The surroundings were in an uproar, with constant insults.
Ji Chuya didn't care. He shook the chains and licked his fangs with the tip of his tongue. He smiled and said, "Little bride, you have to think about it. If you cooperate with me, I can at least protect you and save your life. Look at the faces of the people around you. They want to skin you alive and eat you alive."
Cassell was given a headache by the noise. He turned around and said, "Give up your idea. I will not cooperate with you."
"Are you really going to die? Or, who do you expect to save you? Nie Wuhen?" Ji Chuya laughed sarcastically, "I haven't forgotten that he used you as bait and pushed you into the seabed to marry me. Cassel, right? You know that there was no living person who could marry me at that time. How could Nie Wuhen, a sword master, let you, a winged alien, live?"
"Wake up. We are the same kind."
"How about cooperating with me and I will avenge you?"
Cassel's fingertips trembled slightly, he gritted his teeth and ignored him.
It became quiet all around.
The head of the sect began to interrogate them one by one. When Cassel was interrogated, Cassel insisted that he had never gone out. No matter how the leader threatened him, bribed him, or even punished him, he insisted that he had never left the mountain.
When interrogating Ji Chuya, Ji Chuya seemed to be forcing Cassel to do something, and pushed all the unfounded things onto Cassel, saying that it was Cassel who made the deal with them, and that he was also involved in killing Tan Rong. As for the reason...
Ji Chuya looked at Cassel and smiled. His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
He said: “We were married.”
The crowd was shocked.
Cassel couldn't stand it anymore and retorted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, I have never done those things!"
Ji Chuya put on a pitiful expression and said, "My lady, we worshiped the heaven and earth with the witness of all the mermaids. How can you turn your back on us? If you don't believe me, you can go to the South China Sea and capture a mermaid at random. They can all testify!"
"You are a vicious mermaid!" Cassel was so angry that his hands were shaking. "Who has ever bowed to heaven and earth with you? Why should I admit to something I have never done!"
"I kept my wife's wedding dress well," Ji Chuya said sadly, "Since she left, I have missed her day and night, and even gave her the mermaid pearl. But I didn't know that she only had eyes for Nie Wuhen... What's wrong with me? Why can't my wife just look at me?"
The surroundings were filled with constant discussions, as if an ant nest was scalded by boiling water.
Cassel had never been so angry before. His cheeks turned red with anger and he was breathing rapidly. How could someone be so shameless!
The head of the sect asked: "The matter of Sword Master will not be discussed, but according to what the mermaids said, there is a motive for the murder."
Bai Yi's eyes were complicated, and he stood up and said: "The words of the mermaids are half true and half false, so you can't believe them completely. They are just sweet talkers."
The head of the sect frowned and asked: "You were there at the time. So, were they married?"
"…The situation was critical…"
"That means they were married," the head of the sect lowered his head and sighed, "My poor disciple is so young. Even if you are a disciple of Immortal Shangyao, you have to understand my pain of losing my beloved disciple."
Bai Yi clenched his fan tightly, and after a long while, he said, "Of course. Master, please continue asking."
Offstage, Ji Chuya tilted his head to look at him and sneered softly: "How about it, have you decided who to cooperate with? If you let me drink blood, I will take you out. You just need to stretch out your hand and remain calm, it's that simple, can't you survive? Ah, my lady..."
Cassel looked at him, raised his chin slightly, and said in a crisp but sarcastic and firm voice: "Dream on, Ji Chuya. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I tell you bluntly that I don't trust anyone except Nie Wuhen."
He watched Ji Chuya's expression suddenly change, and felt a long-lost sense of relief. Cassel felt like he was back in the devil's hell. When facing the provocation of the demons, he responded to them word by word.
Just like now. Memories inexplicably overlapped, the Ji Chuya in front of him and the demon in his memory intertwined. Cassel blinked and looked at Ji Chuya in front of him arrogantly, as if he saw the demon who beat him half to death, and said contemptuously:
"Who do you think you are?"
The look in his eyes was very similar to the way Nie Wuhen usually looked at trash, both of them were condescending. The only difference was that Nie Wuhen hid his disdain and disgust in his eyes, while Cassel showed it so clearly.
He knelt straight, took one last look at Ji Chuya, and gritted his teeth: "If you want me to cooperate with you, you have to let me eat a table full of fish!"
The leader on the stage was about to continue the interrogation, but suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the crowd. Before the headmaster could come to his senses, Bai Yi was startled and suddenly ran towards the stage.
Cassel knelt like this. He didn't know that Ji Chuya would be so angry that he would attack him regardless of everything. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but his legs were numb from kneeling, and he couldn't move for a while. He could only watch the fish tail swing over -
The small wings behind him suddenly spread out at this moment, and invisible power spread out at this moment, emitting a faint golden color, sweeping everything around like a wave, blocking the fierce attack.
Cassel froze.
The next second, another sword wave appeared. The familiar Wuwang sword picked up the fish's tail and stabbed it without hesitation. Ji Chuya screamed and slid back dozens of meters before stopping. He fell to the ground dying. He held on, grinning and said, "No wonder you believed him..."
Blood spurted out and he completely lost consciousness.
Bai Yi was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the fan: "Brother, why did you come out?!"
The head of the sect was stunned: "Sword Master...how could he appear..."
There was a huge crowd of people all around, all paying their respects.
Nie Wuhen squatted next to Cassel, his heart pounding. He was now particularly grateful that the pair of seemingly useless little wings saved Cassel's life, otherwise, he would be...
"How is it?" Nie Wuhen asked him.
Cassel turned his head to look at him, and he felt his nose sore again. Wiping away the tears that welled up in his eyes, he smiled and said: "I'm fine..."
Nie Wuhen threw the half-dead Chen Zhufeng to the ground. Upon seeing this, Bai Yi immediately went up to feed him the truth-telling pill.
Nie Wuhen said: "The person has been captured. The leader can interrogate him now."
Everything is clear now.
"The left guardian of the demon clan was on the run, and unfortunately fell into the place where I was practicing. He disturbed my practice. I had no choice but to come out."
"This relative of mine has never left the mountain. He has been staying in Yuanqi Pavilion and has never colluded with anyone. What the headmaster found was just a malicious frame-up. Besides, even if it is true, you should thank him. If it weren't for him, Yundian might not even know that someone had betrayed him long ago."
The head of the sect wiped his sweat and said, "What the Sword Master said is true, but the mermaids said that this relative of the Sword Master had worshipped heaven and earth with him..."
"No," Nie Wuhen interrupted him, saying, "The mermaids cooperated with the fox demons, and every year they pretended to get married, and hurt countless innocent girls, and that's how they made this mermaid pearl. My junior brother and I went down the mountain to capture them under the order of our master, and it was thanks to this relative of mine who pretended to be the bride that things went so smoothly."
The head of the sect suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
"It's just pretending, that's all." Nie Wuhen repeated, then sneered, "But Yun Dian is not peaceful. As the eldest disciple of the master, Dan Rong's magic power is naturally not low, but he died tragically and no one knew about it. This can only mean that the magic cultivators have infiltrated Yun Dian a long time ago, or someone with high magic power has rebelled."
Everyone was shocked.
Nie Wuhen narrowed his eyes, looked at the headmaster, and said: "The left and right guardians of the demon clan are endless. If you kill one, another will come. But if you can kill one, kill it. Headmaster, this left guardian is in your hands."
No one dared to speak.
The demon clan believes that only the strong can rise to the top. Every day, countless people challenge the Left and Right Dharma Protectors in an attempt to replace them and become the new generation of Left and Right Dharma Protectors. Therefore, it is recognized by the world how powerful the Left Protector of the Demon Clan is. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to sit firmly in the position of Left Protector for hundreds of years.
But they only knew that Sword Master was powerful, but they didn't know that he not only beat the left protector Chen Zhufeng to death, but also walked over here unharmed.
Bai Yi has been shocked since he met Nie Wuhen, especially when he saw the half-dead Chen Zhufeng, the shock in his heart was simply beyond words.
But no one knows it better than Cassel, who is closest to Nie Wuhen. He reached out and grabbed Nie Wuhen's clothes. The dark clothes were wet and smelled of blood. Cassel's lips trembled and he said tremblingly: "Let's go back, let's go back..."
Nie Wuhen patted his shoulder gently and whispered: "Don't be afraid."
He was waiting for the master's reply, a reply that would satisfy him.
After a long while, the head of the sect slowly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Jianzun, for getting rid of the harm to the people."
"The left guardian of the demon clan killed a disciple of Yun Dian. He also disturbed the Sword Master from coming out of retreat and wanted to make him a demon. Both crimes will be punished together. His soul will be scattered and his spirit will be broken. This is unforgivable."
"As for the mermaids who refuse to repent and help the devil commit atrocities, they should be imprisoned in purgatory and not allowed to leave for life."
"As for this young friend..." The headmaster looked at Cassel and said, "I misunderstood you, please don't blame me."
Cassel said nothing.
"Thank you, Master."
Nie Wuhen protected Cassel behind him, blocking everyone's sight. The moment he waved his sleeves, the two of them disappeared from the spot.
