Yu Hongchen

Xiang Wanning's thoughts changed, and after the two of them left, he asked first, "Is something wrong with Junior Brother Xie?"

Shang Lixing hummed, and said lightly: "At that time, when you drove him out of the Yunshan Sword Sect—did you ever think about his motive for killing Elder Yunxiang?"

Hearing his blunt tone, Xiang Wanning felt inexplicably guilty, but even though she begged for Xie Liuchen and was punished that day, after leaving the forbidden room, she put all her attention on handling the affairs of the door, and gradually The matter was forgotten.Hearing Shang Lixing speak out about this matter at this moment, the first thought in his mind was that Senior Brother Shang was blaming himself for his inaction.She thought it over and said: "I have always been unwilling to believe that he is the murderer, and I pleaded for him at that time, but it's a pity..."

Shang Lixing continued calmly: "It's a pity that the sect master hates the demons so much that he can't allow a hidden danger that may endanger the Yunshan Sword Sect. You know that he has demon energy on him, and the sect master must have revealed it to him." Yours. But you know," he eased his tone, and the next moment, his voice suddenly became cold: "The devilish energy in his body is not born at all."

Xiang Wanning said in surprise, "Senior Brother Shang, what are you talking about?"

Shang Lixing glanced at her lightly, and told her that after practicing the Cultivation Sword that day, Xie Liuchen's devilish energy was completely wiped away by the Sky-surpassing Stone on the sword.At the end, You Youran added: "We all wronged him."

Xiang Wanning stood in front of the bed with a frozen expression, secretly clutching the corner of her clothes.Afterwards, Shang Lixing said a few words about Xie Liuchen's experience after leaving Yunshan Sword Sect, such as how he was rescued after Master Qingyang set up a killing array, how he was coerced by the demons, and worked for the demons, etc. Xiang Wanning was terrified and couldn't stop crying.She only knew that after her confinement was lifted and she left the forbidden room, she had already discovered the fact that Xie Liuchen's master and apprentice had been expelled from the school, but she didn't expect that it was Master Xuan Si who sacrificed his cultivation to ask for his apprentice's life, let alone Qing Master Yang really managed to kill them all.

At the end of Shang Lixing's speech, he lowered his eyes and held his heart together, shook his head and smiled wryly, "How can I understand? How can a child who has been raised in such a way easily believe in my sincerity? Maybe it's because I'm too impulsive. "

Now the absent-minded one became Xiang Wanning.She was completely distracted by Xie Liuchen's devilish energy, and she didn't hear the intimacy and love in Shang Lixing's tone.After returning to Yunshan Sword Sect, he was still frowning.

Master Qingyang also just came back from the banquet in Xiya Mountain, sat in the main hall of Xuanhe Peak and anxiously asked about Shang Lixing's assassination, and asked several times in detail.But Qiu Shuimen hid the matter very tightly. Even Xiang Wanning came to visit him personally, but he couldn't find out more facts. He only said that Shang Lihang was assassinated in the back mountain the night before the banquet, and fell asleep for several days. Now he has woken up. It's not clear who it was.

Master Qingyang raised his white eyebrows after hearing this, and scolded: "Your senior brother Shang made it clear that you just don't want to expand the matter. You have the deepest friendship with him, why can't you even find out this? If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have sent you there!"

Xiang Wanning was concerned about Xie Liuchen's matter, and being reprimanded by Master Qingyang, not only did he not rush to plead guilty, but instead stood at the bottom blankly, his mind wandering.

Daoist Qingyang shook his head, and added angrily: "I knew I should call Jinglin! He is so clever, he knows how to do more things than you!"

He has always been majestic and unsmiling, but he is especially strict with his disciples, he will scold and admonish him if something goes wrong.Xiang Wanning looked up at him, and saw that there were many terraces, the heights of which were different, and there was a high platform more than five feet high.On the high platform, her master was condescending and staring at her.For the first time, she realized that the distance between the chief disciple and the head of the sect was so far and so long.She also wanted to ask loudly why she murdered her disciples without investigation, and also wanted to tell her most respected and beloved Master loudly: Wrong, Master, you are wrong!You killed the wrong person!

At the time of stalemate, Fang Jinglin walked into the main hall of Xuanhe Peak, saw her frowning, hesitant to speak, hurriedly bid farewell to Master Qingyang, and pulled her out of the main hall.

Xiang Wanning lowered her head and let him pull her out without struggling.

The two senior brothers and sisters were blowing the evening breeze in front of the railing on the second floor. The mountains in front of them were empty and silent, and the cranes and deer were singing.

Fang Jinglin looked at the beautiful sunset in front of him, without turning his head, he said, "Sister, are you going to tell the head?"

Xiang Wanning also looked at the clouds in the sky, and said blankly: "Can I not tell? This is a matter of a disciple's innocence."

Fang Jinglin sighed helplessly: "Senior sister, he has become a bereaved dog now, does it matter if he has more or less innocence?"

Xiang Wanning was puzzled and said, "But - just let them misunderstand?"

Fang Jinglin said: "You shrug it off, you are forcing the master to admit his fault, what do you make the master think, what do you make the disciples of the entire Yunshan Sword Sect think?"

Xiang Wanning looked at him in surprise, opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes were full of confusion: "Could it be that this face and the opinions of the disciples of the sect are more important than a disciple's reputation?"

Fang Jinglin didn't look at her, but said in a decisive tone: "It's just that important."

Xiang Wanning looked at his side face, and saw that his expression was calm and his tone was flat, obviously not as troubled as she was at all.She inadvertently asked: "What if you were the one who was driven down the mountain? Would you want others to think the same way?"

Fang Jinglin didn't return her, and he never turned his head. After a while, Fang let out a helpless sigh: "It's a pity that I was not the one who was driven down the mountain. If it was me, I wouldn't care what other people think. Sister, this matter is over. It's a foregone conclusion, if you continue to pester me, it's tantamount to embarrassing yourself and everyone else, and the sect leader will never admit his mistakes."

Xiang Wanning frowned slightly, and said sullenly: "How can the head be such an unreasonable person?"

Fang Jinglin laughed lowly, and sighed: "Senior sister, you will understand when you stand in that position. Listen to me, don't be impulsive for now, okay? Don't argue with the head because of this matter."

Xiang Wanning lowered her eyes and said, "That's the only way."

Fang Jinglin finally turned his head to look at her, seeing her look lonely, he smiled and said: "Senior sister, you are too indecisive, this is not good, um, you will be the head of the sect in the future."

Xiang Wanning was amused by him, and she couldn't help but feel that she was too sentimental.Immediately sighed: "Being the head of the sect may not be able to do whatever you want."

Fang Jinglin smiled so much that his white teeth were exposed, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Senior Sister, this is what I envy you the most. You must keep doing this."

Xiang Wanning tilted her head and looked sideways, and asked doubtfully, "What?"

Fang Jinglin laughed dryly, and said indifferently: "Nothing," then turned his head to the front, pointing at Hongxia in the sky, and exclaimed: "Look at how beautiful the sky is."

Xiang Wanning followed his gestures to look, only to see empty valleys and secluded forests, strange peaks and lonely suns, and red clouds emerging from the sky, as thick and colorful as agate coral; the red glow burned to the extreme, but it swallowed half of the clear sky like a strong fire.The sun slipped, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

The heads of the various sects of the human race finally decided to gather to discuss the matter of the monster race in three days.On that day, Yunshan Sword Sect set up a big battle in the main hall of Xuanhe Peak, martial law was imposed all the way from the mountain gate to the main hall, and there were disciples standing guard along the road, just to better entertain guests from all walks of life.In order to prevent too many people talking, leaking secrets and demon clans, Master Qingyang only ordered a dozen or so direct disciples to arrange and entertain the scene, and cleared out irrelevant disciples.Therefore, after everyone entered the Yunshan Sword Sect, on the road as far as their eyes could see, there was a huge mountain road, but there were not many people in sight.

Shang Lixing disguised himself and traveled secretly to participate in the council of the Sword Sect of Yunshan.With a sick look on his face and weak footsteps, he and Ji Qing and Jirou slowly walked up to the main hall holding an ebony staff.

When Master Qingyang saw it, he couldn't help crying, and couldn't help complaining, blaming him for not taking care of his body and not telling himself when something happened.

Shang Lixing comforted him softly, saying that he insisted on going his own way and didn't tell the head of the house in advance, causing the head to worry for nothing, he really felt ashamed.He has been intentionally or unintentionally bringing up the topic, and he has always refused to tell who the perpetrator is.

Seeing him haggard and haggard, Master Qingyang felt extremely disappointed, and knew that he had always had his own ideas, so he dared not continue to pester him about concealing the murderer.

While Shang Lixing was talking, he inadvertently looked at Xiang Wanning who was behind Master Qingyang, and saw that she turned her head slightly to one side, her eyes drifted away, and she never dared to meet his piercing gaze.

Shang Lixing couldn't understand it in his heart, but he couldn't force it, so he had to put this matter on his mind for the time being.It's not a good feeling to feel heavy on things in my heart.

Ji Qing and Ji Rou followed Shang Lixing around, their very similar faces attracted the eyes of many visitors from other sects and disciples of Yunshan, Ji Rou became angry from embarrassment, and clasped her hands tightly on the hilt of her sword, her face paled It was dark; Ji Qing was worried and worried.Seeing the Pavilion Master Qu Baiwei of Tianyi Pavilion sitting firmly on one side, he glanced at Qu Baiwei's side from time to time, but the person who broke his heart never appeared, Ji Qing felt unspeakably miserable and disappointed The color is deeper.

The heads of the various sects on the Nanling Continent arrived one after another, and everyone greeted them with salutes and exchanged greetings.The elder seat on the high platform was removed early in the morning, and the whole main hall was instantly emptier.Standing in one place at this time, looking at each other at the same level, there is a tacit meaning in their hearts.

The crowd had also heard some rumors about Shang Lixing earlier, they only thought that he was hit by an enemy attack by mistake and his life would not be long.Seeing him standing beside Master Qingyang right now, everyone was shocked.

Everyone sat down one after another. Because they came in a hurry, they didn't care about the distinction of seniority and inferiority for a moment. Most of them chose a nearby seat and sat down.The participants included the head of the Yunshan Sword Sect and six peak masters, Tianyige Qu Baiwei, Qiushuimen Shanglixing, and other well-known and not-so-famous school leaders, followers, disciples, etc. , a total of thirty people, except for those who don't like to join in the fun, those who ignore the future of the human race, and those who retreat from the world, less than half of the influential figures on the Nanling Continent came.

The door of the hall was closed tightly, and several oily yellow lamps were lit inside the hall.In a solemn atmosphere, I don't know which suzerain started first, and broke the silence: "The number of monsters is scarce, and it has never been a climate, and it may not be because they intend to offend my Nanling. I think we should focus on dealing with the demons." superior."

The other head sitting next to him immediately retorted: "Then I also went to Xiya Mountain. At the banquet, the demon king hid his knife in his smile and said something. He has ulterior motives! You live on the farthest south bank, Of course I don't care. Why, did you go back to drink that wine? Does it taste good?"

The suzerain who spoke earlier was squeezed by him like this, and immediately shut his mouth resentfully.

Although Shang Lixing was not able to attend the banquet, he learned what happened at the banquet in Xiya Mountain after He Suowu's report.Five days ago, the handsome demon king Jingfeng set up a grand banquet at the Ten Mile Causeway, and summoned countless beautiful dancers to join in the fun.Amid the aroma of wine, he sat lazily and enthusiastically introduced the origins of hundreds of delicacies on the table to the masters.After the introduction, he continued to talk about how he yearned for the prosperity and prosperity of the human race, how he would live in Nanling for a long time in the future, and so on.All the heads of the human race looked solemn, and no one paid attention to him, so he turned around and made fun of the two followers behind him. During the whole banquet, he was the only one who laughed so hard that everyone was confused.The human race was extremely embarrassed, but they were afraid of losing their temper, and they didn't want to leave in such a hurry, so they just suppressed their expressions and it was extremely exciting.After the banquet, the demon king not only thoughtfully sent people to send the masters back to various sects in Nanling, but also sent each of them a bottle of wine that was said to be brewed by ordinary people, and said: "Both wine and vegetables, the host and guest are friendly."

Shang Lixing thought up to this point, and said in a deep voice: "The demon king talked about the origin of the rich ingredients on the table, obviously the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

The other sect masters all looked sideways when they heard the voice.Just then the head of the head with a tough attitude took advantage of the situation: "That's right, the demon king is clearly coveting the rich products on the South Ridge, using mortal ingredients to make a big fuss, deliberately provoking! What kind of friendship between the host and the guest, who is the guest? Who? Is it the Lord? Do you really think that others can't hear what he means?"

The other heads recalled the banquet that day, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Qu Bai was slightly worried and said without changing his mind: "The monster clan has closed the mountain for more than [-] years, and now it has appeared in the world. I don't know why it came. We still need to wait and see what happens."

Master Qingyang shook his head resolutely and said: "He who comes is not kind, and those who are kind don't come. His recent actions have repeatedly tested the bottom line of the human race. It can be seen that the time to send troops is not far away. For the current plan, we can only strengthen manpower and stick to the west bank gone."

He suddenly sighed: "There are constant turmoil on the side of the Demon Race, and now there is another Demon Race, alas..."

At this point, a disciple suddenly rushed in, carrying fallen leaves and flying flowers with him.He was out of breath and gasped: "Sect Master Qi, something is wrong! The monster clan has invaded the Buchan Palace on the west bank!"

All the sect masters, elders, and peak masters changed expression upon hearing the words, and stood up abruptly.Master Qingyang sat upright, his face unchanged.

The disciple said again: "The monster clan came across the sea in a huge boat and trapped the disciples of Buchan Palace in the palace!"
