The interior of the Sword Prison was bone-chillingly cold, filled with a faint smell of blood.

Mu Qing followed Jian Wenxuan until he reached the second floor entrance at the end of the passage and saw no one else. He asked in surprise: "Is there no one on this floor?"

Jian Wenxuan replied: "There were originally more people on the first level than on the second level, but these people all died at the hands of Lu Tai."

"Well."

"The people in the second level have committed more serious crimes than those in the first level."

The two of them went down to the second floor, which was several times colder than the first floor. Every time they advanced a certain distance, they would encounter a formation. Even if the sword ghost made such a big noise, the formation here was still intact.

"This empty room used to house Fu Xinghe..."

Jian Wenxuan occasionally introduced the situation on the second floor to Mu Qing. Mu Qing only remembered one thing, that is, Fu Xinghe used to be locked up in the first room at the entrance, and Lu Tai was now locked up in the second floor. The last room.

This arrangement actually explains some information.

After passing through at least seven formations, Mu Qing saw Bai Ke and others standing outside the door of the last prison.

"Old-timer."

Mu Qing came to Baike's side and looked into the prison.

Lu Tai sat cross-legged on a stone platform, with four iron chains extending from the inside of the stone platform locking his limbs.

When Mu Qing looked, Zhou Yun was sitting next to him, gently putting on his shirt.

Lu Tai frowned the whole time, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Lu Tai felt Mu Qing's gaze, looked in his direction, and immediately asked: "Why are you bringing her here?"

Mu Qing was stunned and looked to his side.

Jian Wenxuan raised her eyebrows and snorted softly: "Don't be ungrateful. If you continue to be injured, you won't be able to wait until the day you plead guilty."

"Why……"

Lu Tai sighed helplessly, then looked at Mu Qing, "You've been waiting for a long time, can we start now?"

"Can."

Mu Qing walked into the prison and took Zhou Yun's place.

Only then did he discover the peculiarity of the stone platform beneath Lu Tai. Once the body comes into contact, even the Hongmeng Purple Qi will encounter great resistance when it circulates in the meridians.

He didn't even need to check to know that Lu Tai's physical condition must be very bad. He looked at Baike and said, "Can you untie these four chains?"

Baike smiled and said, "You have to ask him if he is willing to leave the Luo Xian Stone."

"Huh?" Mu Qing was puzzled.

Jian Wenxuan said: "The status of Jinglan Peak has been very important since the beginning of the Sword Sect. One is because of the Pure Brightness Realm within the mountain, and the other is this huge Immortal Falling Stone."

Mu Qing looked back at the stone platform that could only accommodate one person. How huge could it be?

"The Fallen Immortal Stone is an extremely rare spiritual stone. Its only natural quality is to suppress, and suppress most of the forces in the world."

Jian Wenxuan continued: "It is the core of the Sword Prison, and it is also the reason why the Sword Washing Pool can always be stable. After thousands of years of sword intention, the Fallen Immortal Stone reacts more strongly to the power of the sword. If you are a swordsman, as long as the breath leaks , then he will be in this situation."

"But again, if it weren't for the Fallen Immortal Stone, the evil energy in his body would be even more rampant."

Mu Qing nodded, understanding that he had made an arbitrary decision. He looked at the four chains that were integrated with the Fallen Immortal Stone, "If Sect Master Lu wants to leave the Fallen Immortal Stone, how can he use the Abandoned Sword Dao?"

Jian Wenxuan frowned and said nothing, and the eyes of Bai He and the other girls fell on Bai Ke.

They had discussed a lot about how to deal with Lu Tai these days, but Baike never spoke.

They also wanted to know Bai Ke's attitude through Mu Qing's mouth.

Bai Ke shook his head, looked at the landing platform with deep eyes, and said: "If you are willing to deprive yourself of the realm, you can not only leave the Fallen Immortal Stone, but also leave the Sword Prison."

Lu Tai looked calm and asked, "Can I still stay in Jian Zong?"

Bai Ke shook his head: "Of course not."

Lu Tai was silent.

Zhou Jun on the side was a little anxious when he saw Lu Tai's attitude.

, took the initiative to ask: "Old man Bai, can I take him away from Sword Sect by then?"

Baike was not annoyed at being called that by Zhou Jun, and said with a smile: "When he comes down from this square stone platform, you can knock him unconscious and take him away, but the Zhou family is willing to accept a useless person who can no longer practice?"

Zhou Yun said with a black face: "What do you care about the Zhou family? I want him, not my brother."

"Stop talking," Lu Tai said, with even a hint of pleading in his voice.

Zhou Yun looked at the repulsive expression on Lu Tai's face, forced a smile and stopped talking.

Mu Qing stood next to the two of them, coughed slightly, and took the initiative to ask for everyone: "Is this the only choice for Sect Leader Lu?"

"Yes." The smile on Baike's face faded and he said slowly, "He is not a good sect leader, but he is a good disciple. This is the choice I, as the master, am willing to give him."

Lu Tai looked calm and became more silent.

Bai Ke shook his head: "If you don't want to, then hold a Qifeng meeting."

Mu Qing looked slightly startled.

The Qifeng discussion was such a familiar saying. The first time he heard about the rules of Jianzong was because of Lu Tai, and he couldn't help but feel the cycle of cause and effect.

"Take what you want."

Lu Tai looked at Mu Qing and said proactively.

Mu Qing nodded and came to Lu Tai.

In fact, when the sword ghost's consciousness completely disappeared, the sword puppet mark in Lu Tai's body also disappeared.

But because he had been invaded by evil energy many times in the past hundred years, even if there was no sword puppet mark to restrain the evil energy, Lu Tai could use the special ability of the Fallen Immortal Stone to seal the evil energy into a ball.

When Mu Qing stretched out his finger and placed it between Lu Tai's eyebrows, he didn't need to look for it. The fierce energy had already gathered there.

"laugh--"

Because of the effect of the Fallen Immortal Stone, Mu Qing had a hard time pulling the evil energy out of Lu Tai's body. Meng Zhang wanted to help him, but in the end, the effect of the Fallen Immortal Stone was aroused, almost causing the evil energy to shrink into Lu Tai's body.

At this time, Mu Qing's mid-transformation state has become an advantage. Although the speed of absorption is extremely slow, this fierce aura is exactly the fierce aura coming from the Supervisor God. Mu Qing's original goal when he came to the Sword Sect is getting closer. realized by him.

At first, Baike was worried that Mu Qing would be counterattacked by the evil energy, but when he saw Mu Qing absorbing it while being silly and happy, he no longer stayed by the side.

It took Mu Qing a long time to draw out all the evil energy from Lu Tai's body. After he stopped, he found that only Jian Wenxuan was left outside the prison. Even Zhou Yun had left. He said, "Sect Master Lu believes that the Seven Peaks Council is A good outcome?"

With no evil energy in his body, Lu Tai looked better and replied, "I will accept the result no matter what."

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, very puzzled: "Now that Sword Demon has fallen, and everyone knows that you did not collude with Sword Demon, why don't you take the initiative to explain?"

"Explanation for what?" Lu Tai felt funny. "Is it to explain why I concealed the existence of the Sword Demon from everyone back then, or to explain that I cooperated with the Sword Demon to make everyone bear the mark of the Sword Puppet."...

Mu Qing was speechless.

In fact, Lu Tai also knew what things were most unacceptable to Bai Hesusi and others.

Mu Qing was not Lu Tai, and he could find sufficient and reasonable reasons for Lu Tai, but Lu Tai was very disdainful.

Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "You should know that if you can explain sincerely, the peak masters will let you live even if they cannot forgive you, but if they do nothing, they are deliberately forcing them to make the opposite choice. .”

Seeing Mu Qing's serious look, Lu Tai asked curiously, "You don't seem to want me to die? I don't seem to be merciful to you, right?"

Mu Qing shook his head, "I don't care whether you live or die. But there are many people in the Sword Sect who care."

"Lu Manqing is on Jinglan Peak now. When I came to Sword Prison, she specifically asked me to help intercede for you, but she didn't know that her master was unwilling to even give an explanation."

"And the elders on Wuji Peak who were just frightened by Elder Zangjian today, they are probably also watching what will happen to you."

"In order for the Sword Sect that has just overcome the tribulation to not be divided, if you are executed, it will actually be

a good thing. "

Lu Tai thought of something and smiled: "For the sake of the overall situation? I thought so before. There is nothing wrong with junior sisters and junior brothers doing this."

Mu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. He realized that he still hadn't seen through what Lu Tai really cared about. This aroused his competitive spirit and suddenly said: "I just heard a rumor about Lu Manqing in the past few days. Some people say that she is The daughter you gave birth to with Fang Qingxue?"

The smile on Lu Tai's face disappeared, and he was silent for a moment before replying: "Man Qing and I only have a master-disciple relationship."

Mu Qing was noncommittal and said, "When she asked me to help, there were many Sword Sect disciples nearby. Many of their fellow teachers had died. Knowing that she wanted to save you, how should I treat this senior sister?"

Lu Tai glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Manqing is an outstanding child who has already been able to stand alone. In the past, she was respected by young disciples not because her master was the sect master. Now, those young disciples will not respect her because of her master. I no longer respect Manqing."

"But you still think too much, don't you?" Mu Qing said: "You don't bother to explain, but you don't know that your silence will hurt those who really care about you."

Lu Tai stared at Mu Qing, regretting not killing this annoying guy first.

Mu Qing took a few steps back with a smile and continued, "I think Sect Master Lu is a selfish person who thinks he is selfless."

"Am I selfish?" Lu Tai wanted to laugh.

Mu Qing nodded and replied: "You concealed the existence of Sword Demon, let everyone accompany you to deceive Sword Demon, and allowed everyone to accompany you to gamble, but you don't want them to know the truth. Isn't this selfish?"

"Think you will become a hero of the Sword Sect?"

Lu Tai frowned deeper, stared at Mu Qing, and said word by word: "Becoming a hero of the Sword Sect is probably what Master has expected of me."

"Then why did you hide the existence of Sword Demon? To better protect everyone?"

"Yes, a hundred years ago, I wasn't ready. The more people knew about Sword Demons, the more dangerous they were." Lu Tai replied.

"Are you ready in a hundred years?" Mu Qing asked, shaking his head: "After all, you still think you can do it alone."

Lu Tai's eyebrows suddenly furrowed and suddenly opened, he calmed down completely, and said: "I never thought I could do it alone. Facts have proved that even this time I failed, but I have at least fought for the Sword Sect for a hundred years. time."

"One hundred years is enough time for my junior sisters to be able to resist after my death. If they still die, they will die behind me."

Mu Qing actually admired Lu Tai in his heart, but he continued to stimulate him: "It's a pity that the dead will not be resurrected, and these people will not know whether you are good or bad until they die. In order to make the sword demon believe you, you fell into If you are paranoid, no one in your heart is worthy of your trust."

"Who can I trust? The person I trust died a hundred years ago!!!"

Lu Tai suddenly lost control of his emotions and roared at the top of his lungs.

Mu Qing was suddenly speechless and asked, "Is it Fang Qingxue?"

"...What happened a hundred years ago?"
