But Lu Zhang was unmoved, just expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "You blame me for being suspicious? Then let me ask you, how did the attackers know your whereabouts when you were repeatedly attacked along the way? The restriction I sent was laid in an ambush, how could those people know the way to break the restriction?"

"Hmph, from my point of view, even if you are not lying, you are still responsible for the incompetence of guarding the sect, and spies may have been mixed in! For the sake of the sect's safety, I must seal your cultivation base, and then investigate this matter carefully A lot!"

After hearing his words, all the disciples looked at each other in blank dismay, and they couldn't believe their ears.

They had a bumpy journey and saw the head of the sect in distress. It was the time when their mood was most turbulent. They finally returned to the sect and saw the familiar elders and fellow sects. One can imagine.

Several female disciples almost shed tears of grievance. Seeing Lu Zhang raised his hand, the law enforcement disciples of the punishment hall walked towards them.

At this moment, Luo Xiao, who had never been very prominent, suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of them, and said softly, "Wait a minute."

Lu Zhang said: "Nephew Luo, even if you are the head disciple, you are not qualified to question the decision of the Xingtang."

Luo Xiao didn't answer his question, but just said: "Dange Elder Xiao Jiezhen, Yue Jianfeng Peak Master Duan Haizheng, Palm Print Envoy Feng Zhao...why didn't they show up? Have you not received the news of the head's accident?"

The few people he mentioned were also very talkative elders in the Ling Xiao Sect, and among them Xiao Jiezhen was Xiao Ning'er's father, but none of them showed up now.

After Luo Xiao finished speaking, the atmosphere froze for a short while, and the front hall fell into silence for a while.

Lu Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at this nephew who had always been low-key and reserved for the first time. He never expected that he would dare to stand up at this time, and asked such a sharp question that he couldn't answer at all. question.

——Those people are qualified to question all his next actions, so naturally they cannot appear.

Unexpectedly, when a barking dog doesn't bite, Luo Xiao has a bit of an eye.

He paused, and said lightly: "Before your master left the mountain, you have already stated that you are responsible for the affairs of all sects. If something like this happens, you don't send someone to inform the elders, but come to ask me, is it right?" What's the point? How would I know."

Luo Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, I'm naturally in charge of the current affairs of all sects, so can I persuade Master Lu a few words?"

Lu Zhang was completely froze by him, and after a while he said: "The truth of this matter is unknown, I also think about the safety of the sect, so I have to be cautious. Even if someone is wronged for a while, it is a last resort. If you insist on Plead for these disciples, can you bear what happens in the future?"

Luo Xiao said: "Since it's my decision, I'll naturally take it on my shoulders, but what Section Master Lu said is also very reasonable, so I just want to make a compromise, and everyone will take a step back."

He pondered for a while: "They have worked hard enough on the journey, and the cultivation base of the seal will affect the healing of injuries and the recovery of energy. It is better to temporarily lock these people in the confinement room and send someone to guard them, and wait until the suspicion is cleared. Let them out, Hall Master Lu, look...how about this method?"

What Luo Xiao said was reasonable and well-founded, and he didn't bargain too much. Although Lu Zhang was not satisfied, he couldn't refute him anymore, so he immediately said, "Since you insist on this, then I will do it to you! But remember, If anyone is being manipulated privately, you are the only one to ask!"

Luo Xiao didn't say anything, watched him turn and leave, then turned around and said to the disciples apologetically, "Teacher Lu's worry is not unreasonable, so I will wrong everyone for the time being."

Although he couldn't completely resist Lu Zhang, this time Luo Xiao actually stood up, which was already very contrary to his usual style of doing things, and it was enough to make others feel very moved.

Ge Nan said: "Eldest brother is willing to speak for us at this time, thank you very much, but I think Hall Master Lu is acting strangely, and the other elders did not show up, it is indeed very suspicious, this matter is getting more and more serious. It's confusing, Elder Brother has already offended him a little bit earlier, please be careful."

Luo Xiao smiled and said: "Everyone is doing it for the good of the sect, so what's wrong with it? Then you go to the confinement room for a while and have a good rest. If you think of anything, you can tell me at any time."

Luo Xiao personally sent these people into the confinement room, which was originally a place for disciples who violated the rules of the sect to think about it. There are dharma lines drawn by the master himself on the four walls. After entering the door, it is determined that it will be difficult to get out by itself.

After Luo Xiao gave some instructions, he took the other brothers who stayed on the mountain and left. Except for him, the whole group seemed worried.

It wasn't until they returned to Luo Xiao's residence, seeing that there were no other people around, that someone couldn't help but say, "Eldest brother, what happened in the meantime? Why did so many elders suddenly disappear? Hall Master Lu's attitude makes me feel... as if he wants to use this matter to make a big fuss and eliminate dissidents."

Luo Xiao looked solemn, and said: "I doubt it too. But as the head of the punishment hall, he was not qualified to succeed the head. During this time, I know that he has always intended to support Jiang Rong, but he has never let himself down. The thoughts of the superior. Are we overthinking? Or Jiang Rong's death stimulated him?"

Another disciple said: "If he really has this intention, senior brother is his stumbling block. Now we are alone and alone, and senior brother just revealed his intention again. I am worried..."

Luo Xiao said: "Don't worry, don't we have another little overlord coming back soon? I'm afraid that after seeing him, Hall Master Lu will have a headache. I want to see what Lu Zhang really wants to do, just wait." .”

He sighed slightly, and said: "I am just a sick and disabled person. It is the best policy to be wise and protect yourself. Now I really can't do more. If you encounter something, help if you can, and if you can't help." There is no way."

The little overlord that Luo Xiao mentioned was naturally referring to Yin Chen.

Because of the difficulties in the country and the frequent earthquakes, the people of the country thought that there was an evil dragon and the country was unstable, so before the sword test meeting was over, he had already informed He Zizhuo and temporarily gave up the next competition , hurry back and check.

After finishing all the matters, he dragged the current monarch over and scolded him severely. After a few days, he returned to Lingxiao Mountain, but he didn't expect that there were also a lot of bad things here. He had only been out for a few days , Master disappeared at the gate of his own mountain.

Yin Chen asked someone to inquire about the whole incident, filled with fright and anger, and immediately went to ask Luo Xiao: "Master has been missing for many days, why don't you hurry up and find someone?! What are you all dawdling about?"

Luo Xiao said: "How do you know you didn't look for it? I looked for it, but there is no clue."

Yin Chen said: "Didn't you say you were captured by the demons? Did you ask them for someone?"

Luo Xiao said: "It's all just speculation, there is no evidence, how can you ask someone? As long as someone says that someone is pretending to be someone, they can easily dismiss you, and it will be futile after all."

The personalities of their senior brothers were quite different, Yin Chen would feel angry whenever he talked to Luo Xiao, and when he saw that it didn't make sense, he stopped arguing with him, and went to the confinement room to ask the locked-up disciples about the situation at that time.

After listening to their detailed narration, Yin Chen couldn't help feeling suspicious, and said, "What exactly does the surname Lu want to do? He kept saying that there were spies and locked you up, but why did he hang out here again?" , not to continue the in-depth investigation? It seems to be deliberately delaying time."

But delaying time must have a purpose. What is he waiting for?Waiting for a good time, or waiting for... the news of He Zizhuo's death?

Yin Chen was secretly startled.

Luo Xiao's temperament is too meek, although he doesn't agree with Lu Zhang's actions, but if he expects this elder brother to strongly object, he may have to wait until his next life.

Although the current situation is turbulent, the overall situation presents a subtle peace. Lu Zhang’s approach is a bit like boiling frogs in warm water. After everyone gets used to this situation, they slowly accept that there is no He Zizhuo. Ling Xiao faction, most people will not resist what Lu Zhang wants to do.

Yin Chen realized that the so-called "nothing can be broken, nothing can be built", something must happen now to tear everything apart, and no one can whitewash the peace. Only by presenting all the contradictions in front of everyone will no one blindly follow.

Although Yin Chen was aggressive, he was not without brains. He always acted aggressively and decisively, and he had already made up his mind, so he said to those disciples: "I want to take a gamble, do you dare to take the risk?"

Someone asked: "Brother Yin, what do you want to do?"

Yin Chen pondered: "I'll let you out now, and then try to see if you can still leave Lingxiao Mountain. If no one believes what you said before and is unwilling to save Master, then we will do it ourselves. Of course, failure is not ruled out. I can't judge the current situation, if it doesn't work... then I can only adapt to the situation."

In the past, these people might not have readily agreed to Yin Chen's proposal, but after a few days, everyone has been imprisoned full of anger, so they can't care so much.

They heard the words and said: "Fighting is better than being imprisoned for no apparent reason like this, fighting!"

"Now that the head is not here, finding the head is the top priority right now. As the head of the punishment hall, what right does he have to lock us in with his own words, and he is still hanging here!"

"It's not me who has a guilty conscience, what am I afraid of!"

Yin Chen said: "Okay."

He drew the sword from his waist, took a deep breath, and then with a determined look on his face, he slashed with the sword.

His sword was sharp and powerful, but he didn't make a sound. The door of the confinement room really shattered. Yin Chen opened the door and urged: "Come out!"

After the group left the confinement room, they walked outside. Before they had time to leave this side peak, they heard someone ask coldly, "Where are you going?"

Yin Chen raised his head, and it turned out that Lu Zhang led a group of people to appear. Behind him, there were even three peak masters and an elder. During the period after their death, they once again formed an alliance.

But since they formed an alliance, there must be a common interest. The point that brought them back together... What exactly is it?

Yin Chen was not as tactful as Luo Xiao, and said bluntly: "According to common sense, even if the punishment hall wants to imprison disciples, it should go through a formal inquiry and ruling before making a decision. of."

"I am an apprentice. I heard that Master is in trouble. I should go to the rescue. I need their help. Master Lu, please let me go."

Lu Zhang sneered and said: "Frivolous! Yin Chen, do you know why I want to imprison them, but I have not acted for a long time? Because I want to see who will lose their temper and throw themselves into the trap It's not easy, you're finally hooked!"

As he spoke, his face darkened, and he showed something in front of everyone, and shouted: "Speak! Why is there a blank Sect Leader's edict in your room? Do you know the whereabouts of Sect Leader?"

Yin Chen felt that his acting in this play was ridiculous: "It was given to me by Master a few years ago."

Lu Zhang said coldly: "You are full of sophistry, your words and deeds are suspicious, and you deliberately incite a large number of disciples to resist orders. Who else can believe your words? Come and take Yin Chen down!"

When the matter came to this point, Yin Chen smiled angrily and said, "Forget it, since today's matter is doomed to be unkind, then whoever wants to go up, let's do it!"

He is worthy of being the head of the sect, with the bearing of a royal family, no matter what situation he is in, he has a sense of pride. With a flick of the sword, he has already made a gesture of fighting.

Six law enforcement disciples belonging to the punishment hall rushed out from behind Lu Zhang, surrounding Yin Chen in the middle.

The disciples of Xingtang have all undergone special training, they are ruthless in attacking, and they cooperate seamlessly. Although they are not Yin Chen's opponents alone, they form a formation in the blink of an eye, and their strength increases immediately.

Yin Chen's sword is a broad sword that is as wide as three fingers. He is born with extraordinary strength, and there is a kind of domineering aura rarely seen in swordsmanship in his moves. Already two disciples vomited blood and retreated.

After Yin Chen wounded someone, without hesitation, the sharpness of the sword surged, and he swept out, even going straight to Lu Zhang.

He shouted: "Do you really think this is your Yiyantang?! I'm going to see today, how much you, Master Lu, are!"

This is the first time in the hundreds of years since Lu Zhang became the head of the punishment hall, a junior dared to move a sword at him. Seeing Yin Chen like this, Lu Zhang couldn't help frowning, cursed outrageous and rude, and raised his sword to block Yin Chen's attack sword edge.

When the swords of the two met, the light was dazzling immediately, and a loud explosion stirred up thousands of layers of sand and soil, shaking the surrounding ground and shattering it inch by inch.

Yin Chen yelled, and Lu Zhang's right leg, which was on the rear side, slipped an inch backward. Although the distance was extremely short, the advantages and disadvantages were already evident.

Yin Chen sneered and said: "Master Lu, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. When you are old, don't rely on your seniority to bully your younger generations."

Lu Zhang said angrily: "Presumptuous, do you still have any rules in your eyes? What about people, don't take him down yet!"

More people from the punishment hall arrived and surrounded Yin Chen. The other disciples who came out wanted to help, but they were stopped behind.

Some people who had been staying on the mountain came over after hearing the news, and couldn't help being stunned when they saw the melee of the sects. They couldn't tell which side was good and which side was bad, and who was with whom.

The Ling Xiao faction was in chaos for a while.

Yin Chen seemed to be showing off, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart that today's incident was so big that he could no longer be kind, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to him.

And Yin Chen's plan at the beginning was that if these imprisoned disciples could not be taken away, he would make the matter as big as possible, completely breaking the barely maintained calm on Lingxiao Mountain, and the situation in everyone's heart these days. There are doubts.

Only in this way can people be suspicious of each other and unable to trust any one person before the arrangement of those with malicious intentions is completed, and it will not form a very powerful and complete force that can subvert the sect.

But now after the big commotion, Yin Chen needs to think about how to get out.

When he attacked Lu Zhang, he actually wanted to test whether he could hold him hostage, but it's a pity that the ridicule is just ridicule, the opponent's strength is actually very strong, Yin Chen's attack was blocked, and before he could move forward, someone suddenly jumped into the air Standing up, without drawing the sword, he slashed at Yin Chen's back heart with his palm.

Before the move came, the force of the palm was almost overwhelming. In a hurry, Yin Chen sank his body, landed on both feet, and quickly spun his body to dissolve part of the palm wind. After the move was blocked, he immediately took a few steps back and found that this person was Hengding Fengfeng Sovereign Hang.

He blurted out: "Uncle Quan, could it be that even you..."

Quan Hang was usually taciturn, but his cultivation was superb. He clearly heard Yin Chen's question, but he didn't answer. He turned his palm into a claw, and his five skinny fingers stuck out towards Yin Chen's chest like steel hooks.

Yin Chen didn't expect that several elders in the sect would be involved in this chaos, and there was a flash of hostility in his eyes, and he was about to dodge, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

From three directions behind him, three ropes made of black mist flew towards Yin Chen's neck.

At this time, Yin Chen was attacked from the back and the abdomen. If he avoided the rope, his chest would be pierced by Quan Hang. After a moment of hesitation, his neck was strangled, and he was pulled back forcefully.

Holding a sword in one hand, Yin Chen struggled to support Quan Hang's palm, while holding the rope loop in the other hand, fighting for a chance to breathe for himself, angrily shouted: "Despicable!"

Lu Zhangdao: "Rebellious people have always ended up like this!"

Seeing a commotion in the crowd, he raised his eyes and saw that he didn't know who it was, so he secretly called Luo Xiao over, and they came here together in a hurry.

Lu Zhang sneered, he didn't pay attention to Luo Xiao, swung his sword towards Yin Chen's hand, and shouted: "I want to see, whoever dares to save him today will be the same end."

Before the words fell, someone suddenly said lightly: "Oh, is it?"

Lu Zhang was startled by the powerful sword energy, and raised his head suddenly, only to see a flash of light around him, like stars shining in the sky, and a stream of cold light suddenly bloomed, a long sword had already fallen from the sky, and hit heavily on Lu Zhang's sword, His sword strike missed three points.

The two swords rubbed against each other, sparks splashed, Lu Zhang retreated, and the long sword kept going, cutting off the three ropes that were strangling Yin Chen's neck, and then plunged into the ground with a "duo" sound.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, the brilliance flowed, and the sword energy was pushed out with a bang, and the surrounding sand and gravel splashed like rain. Several law enforcement disciples surrounded by had to cover their faces with their sleeves and staggered back.

After finally standing still, everyone looked around, but saw a blue long sword standing obliquely on the open space behind Yin Chen, the edge of the blade was dazzling, and the sword tassel was fluttering in the hunting wind.

Immediately, a figure appeared beside the sword, standing with hands behind his back, and said softly: "I have saved Yin Chen's life, where is the recruiter?"

Yin Chen turned around abruptly, with a complicated expression, and met Shu Lingjia's eyes.

Immediately, Shu Lingjia looked away, looked at Lu Zhang, and said, "Master Lu, come on?"

Among the four disciples of He Zizhuo, except for Luo Xiao, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Shu Lingjia is a stubborn stubble even more difficult than Yin Chen. Lu Zhang never expected that he would suddenly appear and mix With a kick, he cursed inwardly, not knowing who sent the news to him.

He saw that Shu Lingjia's skill seemed to be more advanced than before, and he didn't want to fight with him, so he said coldly: "Mr. Shu, this is an internal matter of our sect, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Shu Lingjia laughed and said arrogantly: "Speaking of which, it really has nothing to do with me, but I just want to meddle in my own business today, who can stop me?"
