There are thousands of levels, and countless astonished eyes are watching under the sin-conducting steps that seem to reach straight to the sky.
The woman's hair was disheveled, her clothes were in tatters, and her body was scarred with deep whip marks, some of which were even dripping with blood.
She slowly raised her feet and walked up to the crime stair. After walking a few steps, she stumbled and fell.
There were exclamations all around. The woman got up with difficulty and pushed her long hair away from her face. In an instant, the exclamations around her turned into angry shouts.
The woman with gorgeous facial features, enchanting and charming, is none other than Si Minglan.
However, this pretty face that has fascinated countless young talents has a long whip mark, diagonally downwards, looking ferocious and terrifying, completely disfigured this beautiful face.
"Who did it?"
"It's so cruel, it's too much!"
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuakva, Third Senior Sister’s body is covered with scars, she must have been tortured a lot!”
"The Western Dynasty has gone too far!"
On the sword tomb platform, Tantai Mingyue frowned: "Queen West, Si Minglan is a disciple of my Zhenyang Sect. She has not been convicted yet, why did you torture her?"
Lin Yuan looked at Si Minglan, who was covered in blood, and frowned slightly, knowing that this was because Siming Cheng vented his personal grudges, but she represented the Western Palace, so she couldn't show weakness, so she said calmly:
"The eldest prince has been established as the crown prince. He was assassinated, causing turmoil in the Western Imperial City. Countless people died tragically as a result. The murderer is guilty of a heinous crime. Si Minglan is the most suspected, so we need to interrogate him first."
Tantai Mingyue said coldly: "If Si Minglan is not the murderer, what should you do?"
Lin Yuan said calmly: "It's too early to say this."
Tantai Mingyue said: "If Si Minglan is not the murderer, the Western Dynasty must hand over the person who secretly tortured her!"
Lin Yuan looked sideways at her: "Fellow Taoist Tantai, do you speak on behalf of yourself or the Zhenyang Sect?"
Ye Xiyue, who was next to her, suddenly said: "After the trial, there will be a public opinion. Arguing at this time will not help."
"Xiyue?" Tantai Mingyue looked at her in surprise.
Si Minglan is a disciple of Xiyue Peak and Ye Xiyue's junior sister. Even if they don't deal with each other, they are in the same sect, so why don't they speak up for Si Minglan?
Jian Yue looked cold, looking at Si Minglan who was struggling to walk up below, but she was giggling in her heart.
Si Minglan, you also have such misfortunes, geez.
It's a pity that I have already promised to save you. You won't die, you just have to taste the pain again.
At this time, Si Minglan was climbing up the steps step by step, but where she walked was a long bloodstain.
When they entered Zhenyang City, Si Mingcheng tortured her again, and the half-healed wounds on her body were cracked open again by the piercing whip.
But she never said a word. Even though she was exposed in front of everyone, she still looked calm.
She raised her head and looked at the sword tomb in front of her, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Father, mother, brother. If Minglan doesn't die today, he will definitely massacre the entire Western Palace to avenge you!
She raised her bare feet covered in blood and staggered, step by step. The surroundings became quiet, and everyone stared at her.
I don't know how long it took, but the shaky body finally stepped onto the sword tomb platform.
Zheng Shengmo looked at her coldly and shouted: "Si Minglan, why don't you kneel down for trial!"
Si Minglan was covered in blood and stood proudly: "I am not guilty, why do I have to kneel?"
"Bold, you violated the sect rules and caused so much trouble to the sect. How dare you be so unruly?!"
Zheng Shengmo almost got Si Minglan's top spiritual root, but she escaped. He was dissatisfied and took this opportunity to humiliate her.
Tantai Mingyue said: "Senior Brother Zheng, Si Minglan is only suspected and has not been convicted. She is still a disciple of my Zhenyang Sect."
Zheng Shengmo chuckled: "The acting head of Tantai is right. Today's trial at the Sixth Summit is to find out the truth. Junior Brother Leng, it's time to start, right?"
Leng Jing is the master of Jianzhong Peak. In the past, he was responsible for interrogating and convicting disciples who violated the sect rules. At this time, Leng Jing had no expression on his face and said to Lin Yuan:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, the Western Dynasty suspects Si Minglan of killing the eldest prince. Is there any evidence?"
Lin Yuan clapped his hands, and several golden snake guards escorted Fang Xue from the crime level to the sword tomb platform.
When Fang Xue saw Si Minglan covered in blood, she immediately exclaimed: "Third Senior Sister, what are you doing?"
She could no longer speak the rest of the words, and her voice became choked.
Si Minglan looked at her with a smile: "Junior sister, I'm fine."
Fang Xue looked at the long blood marks on her face and finally couldn't help but shed tears:
"Who did it, Third Senior Sister?"
The clear voice became extremely cold.
Si Minglan shook his head and stopped talking, obviously not wanting to injure Fang Xue.
Tantai Mingyue frowned and said: "This is also a disciple of our Zhenyang Sect, right? Fellow Daoist Lin, can the Western Dynasty now arrest people from our Zhenyang Sect at will?"
Lin Yuan smiled solemnly: "This Fang Xue is an outer disciple of Xiyue Peak and has a good relationship with Si Minglan. We found out that Si Minglan stayed in Yunling Town for a long time, disappeared for half a month, and was seriously injured afterwards. The first person I look for when I return to Yunling Town is Fang Xue."
"The half month that Si Minglan disappeared was exactly the time when my eldest prince was assassinated."
"So, Fang Xue should be able to prove that Si Minglan is the murderer."
Suddenly, all eyes turned to Fang Xue.
Leng Jing said: "Fang Xue, is what Fellow Daoist Lin said true?"
Fang Xue looked calm, her eyes were clear, and she said loudly: "Third Senior Sister was injured because she went to Yunling Mountain to subdue the monster!"
"Monster?"
Many Zhenyang Sect disciples looked at each other, no one expected that Fang Xue would give such an answer.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly: "Fang Xiaoyou, I have never felt sorry for you along the way. I just hope that you will tell the truth about the matter. Don't let me down."
Fang Xue handed over to the six peak masters: "Dear peak masters, everyone knows that high-grade monsters have been raging everywhere recently. In fact, a fifth-grade monster appeared on Yunling Mountain a few months ago."
"Third Senior Sister went to Yunling Mountain just to get rid of this monster. However, the monster was extremely cunning and set a trap. Third Senior Sister only returned home seriously injured."
Si Minglan looked sideways at Fang Xue, and saw that her green face was extremely calm and her eyes were firm.
"Xiao Xue."
Si Minglan lowered his head to hide the moisture in his eyes.
Lin Yuan's dignified and gentle face gradually turned cold: "Since you were injured in order to subdue the monster, why didn't you go back to Zhenyang Sect and go to Yunling Town to find you? Why did you hide this matter?"
Fang Xuedao: "Third Senior Sister was seriously injured at the time, so naturally she was unable to return to Zhenyang Sect. As for why we hid it, it was because the method we used to treat Third Senior Sister's injuries was somewhat special."
"How special?" Leng Jing asked.
There was a trace of shyness on Fang Xue's face: "This healing method requires the doctor and the injured to bathe together, and the doctor... is a man."
"What?!"
The Zhenyang Sect disciples were in an uproar.
"Bathing together? Or with a man?"
"So, Si Minglan already has a Taoist companion?"
"Has our beautiful senior sister from Zhenyang Sect been picked?"
"Which bastard is it! Ahhh!"
On the sword tomb platform, several peak masters also looked at each other, Lin Yuan frowned slightly:
"Among the people who have close contacts with Si Minglan, the maid of Qiu Zhihe, who is second on the beauty list, has a hazy spiritual eye. It is said in ancient times that the hazy spiritual eye can be used to heal injuries with bathing. But the maid is a woman, so how can a man ?”
Fang Xue said: "Yes, the Misty Spirit Bathing Technique requires both men and women to perform it together. Sister Qiu's husband, Qin Gengyun, is the third senior sister he and Sister Su Su rescued together."
