Ye Zhiyao choked on Lu Sang's wine and didn't know how to retort for a moment.
After all, if she said that Lu Sangjiu was faking, then what if she said back that she was just faking it, but actually wanted to attack her on purpose?
Lu Sangjiu knew that her biggest advantage now was that no one knew that she could use magic weapons, so she subconsciously felt that between the two, she should give priority to Mu Xianjian.
So she could use this to make them believe that she had just obtained Tyranny accidentally.
Sure enough, after what she said, Elder Lin's expression softened a lot, and he already believed her 70%.
It's just... that's not the only thing that's really difficult to deal with.
"Your explanation makes sense. I will send people into the Sword Tomb later to check. If there are no doubts, this matter can be ignored."
"But..." Elder Lin narrowed his eyes and stared at Tyranny and said, "But you must keep this sword."
Lu Sangjiu had already guessed that they would not let her take Tyranny away. Just when she was about to speak, a disciple from the Gold and Silver Sect hurried over to report.
"Elder, several god-incarnation venerables from various major sects have noticed the movement here. Now they are all gathered outside, saying they want to come in to help."
After a pause, the disciple glanced at Ye Zhiyao, "Sword Master Bai is not willing to stay outside anymore. He said he is worried that something has happened to his disciple, and he hopes we will not hide it."
Elder Lin immediately said angrily, "Every word sounds nicer than the last one. I think you want to come in to watch the fun and get information, right?"
Everyone knew that there was Mu Xianjian in the Sword Tomb. Now that there was movement in the Sword Tomb, they all guessed that it must be related to Mu Xianjian, so they all gathered together to find out.
But if you want to stop other people, that's all. But if your own disciples enter the Sword Tomb, it's hard to stop them, otherwise there will be misunderstandings.
And if we treat them differently at this time, other people will definitely be dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, Elder Lin felt a headache and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, at this time, the head of the Gold and Silver Sect appeared, and he just said lightly, "That's it, we can't hide this news."
"What's more..." He glanced at Lu Sangjiu, "This girl is also a disciple of the Seven Emotions Sect. It's not good for our Gold and Silver Sect to handle it privately."
"Since they are all here, let's discuss it together."
The leader had actually been here a long time ago, but he never showed up.
So when Elder Lin asked Lu Sangjiu to hand over Tyranny just now, he had already seen her reluctance.
Then this matter is out of context again. If they use coercion and inducement, they will inevitably be criticized when they turn around.
Now that people from all the major sects have arrived, they will discuss and come up with a result, which is not a bad thing for the Gold and Silver Sect.
Of course, this is a bad thing for Lu Sangjiu.
Her heart sank, she thought for a moment, and then sent a message to Xie Ningyuan, "I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic. I'm very grateful that you helped me get here. In a moment..."
She paused and then said, "...If something cannot be done for a while, you should stop getting involved. It's about protecting yourself."
Xie Ningyuan glanced at her and didn't say yes or no. He just asked, "Then what? Are you going to die calmly?"
Lu Sangjiu said seriously: "I'm not joking with you. This matter is not a child's play. If you don't do it right, you will be labeled as a magic cultivator. If you are caught by then, it may be the best situation."
"I will definitely not die calmly. I will work hard to break the situation. If nothing can be done, the worst case scenario is to escape from here and live in exile."
Anyway, there is a high probability that they will not execute her on the spot, so she will definitely find a chance to escape.
In short, she can go on the run on her own, but she doesn't want to drag other people into joining her.
After thinking for a while, she added, "If I survive your blood curse, I will find another opportunity to completely undo it for you. So, don't be pretentious with me at this time and listen to me."
Xie Ningyuan raised his eyebrows, "So you think I helped you because I wanted you to help me break the curse?"
There was no need for Lu Sangjiu to answer. He hummed softly and continued: "Okay, stop worrying about those useless thoughts. I said I am responsible for everything. As long as I don't fall, nothing will happen to you."
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
This sounds really embarrassing, but...it's just a little touching.
She wanted to persuade her again, but they had no more opportunities to communicate because people from outside had already come in at this time.
The person walking in the front was of course Bai Heng who was worried about Ye Zhiyao.
He hurried in and saw Ye Zhiyao's eyes were red and she looked like she had been crying.
So he stepped forward quickly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Ayao? But someone bullied you?"
When Ye Zhiyao saw Bai Heng at this time, she acted even more aggrieved and sobbed: "Master, I found the Mu Xian Sword, but...but it was cut off by Lu Sangjiu!"
Bai Heng was stunned. She didn't expect that the broken sword in her hand turned out to be the Mu Xian Sword, nor did she expect that it was cut off by Lu Sangjiu.
But after he reacted, he didn't ask any more questions, and his cold eyes immediately fell on Lu Sangjiu.
"Did you cut off A Yao's Mu Xian Sword?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
She was speechless. If she had found Mu Xianjian, she had found it first, right?
And when it comes to recognizing the master, Mu Xianjian has not recognized the master at all. He just wants to cooperate with Ye Zhiyao for a short time, okay?
Why did it sound like the Mu Xian Sword already belonged to Ye Zhiyao when it came to their mouths?
At this time, some people who had just come in were stunned by Bai Heng's words before they could figure out the situation.
There was so much information in these words that they didn't know for a moment whether they should be surprised that Mu Xianjian recognized its master, or should they be surprised that Mu Xianjian was severed?
Everyone was still a little confused, and subconsciously followed Bai Heng and looked at Lu Sangjiu.
Under the pressure of everyone's gaze, Lu Sangjiu took his time and defended himself without any sign of weakness.
"Uncle Bai, you misunderstood. First of all, Mu Xianjian did not form a contract with Senior Sister Ye. Secondly, I did not cut off Mu Xianjian intentionally..."
Lu Sangjiu only clarified this, and then looked at Elder Lin, "Senior, I am a man of few words, so please explain this matter clearly to everyone!"
After all, this is the home court of Jinyinmen, and Lu Sangjiu can’t steal the limelight from others.
Taking the initiative to let them talk like this is considered a good thing for selling the Gold and Silver Sect.
Elder Lin gave her a satisfied look, and then recounted to everyone what Lu Sangjiu had just said.
Everyone was extremely surprised by this turn of events. They talked for a while and then gradually became quiet.
In the crowd, Jian Bugui looked at Lu Sangjiu speechlessly and said to her: "...You are really good. Just going to the Sword Tomb can cause so much trouble!"
