Chapter 135
A few days flew by.
On this day, as soon as Li Yu returned to the Mingjian Sect from outside, he was brought to the meeting hall by his father.
Seeing his father Li Yangming's dark face, Li Yu frowned and asked:
"Father, what happened?"
Li Yangming said nothing. After walking into the hall, he said to everyone:
"Li Yu brought it here."
Only then did Li Yu see that in addition to his father, his grandfather Li Wei, and some higher-status inner sect elders from the famous sword sect were also there.
You know, many of the elders are in seclusion all year round and do not participate in the management of sect affairs at all!
What's going on now?
None of the elders spoke, but their expressions were extremely ugly.
Li Yu didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only stand by uneasily.
Not long after, several disciples who had been drinking with Li Yu a few days ago were dragged into the hall covered in blood and violently thrown to the ground.
An elder with the strongest aura present said coldly:
"Now you are facing each other face to face!"
Several disciples quickly knelt down and shouted to the sky:
"Elders, we really are not telling any lies. It was really Senior Brother Li Yu who asked us to go to Qingtian Sect to find out the news!"
Li Yu's eyelids twitched and he shouted quickly:
"What are you talking about? When did I let you go to Qingtian Sect?!"
"Shut up!" Li Yu's grandfather Li Wei growled, "Listen to what they have to say first! We will naturally judge whether it has anything to do with you!"
Li Yu's face turned pale, "Grandpa, what happened? I don't know anything!"
"Your grandpa is not here!" Li Wei glared at Li Yu, "Shut up first!"
Li Yu's expression suddenly changed. His grandfather always loved him the most, and he had never spoken to him so harshly.
Several disciples kneeling on the ground continued:
"Seven days ago, we were drinking in Wanjian City. Senior Brother Li Yu seemed to be in a bad mood and talked a lot to us..."
"Then he told us that he wanted us to inquire about Wu Qishan, the elder of the Qingtian Sect."
"Senior Brother Li Yu also said that the more than 10,000 remnants of the Huangzhou that Qingtian Sect wiped out were actually members of our famous Sword Sect. Our famous Sword Sect established a station there just to secretly occupy the Huangzhou."
"Then we went near Qingtian Sect and arrested a Qingtian Sect disciple to inquire about Wu Qishan."
Li Wei looked at several people coldly, "What then?"
These disciples kept knocking their heads to the ground and cried:
"Elder, forgive me. We really didn't mean to leak the news. We drank too much. The wine was too strong. We were drunk and only told these things, and the Qingtian Sect disciple escaped."
"That's nonsense!" Li Wei slammed his palm on the armrest of the chair, and the violent wave of air immediately made several disciples fall to the ground.
This disciple was frightened to death, but he gritted his teeth and continued:
"Disciple, there is absolutely no lie!"
"Senior Brother Li Yu also said that the people of Qingtian Sect ruined our plan. Our famous sword sect arranged for people to intercept and kill Qingtian Sect disciples in Huangzhou. He said that if Wu Qishan, the elder of Qingtian Sect, did not return to Qingtian Sect, then Most of them died under the sword of our famous swordsman sect."
"You fart!" Li Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer. His body kept shaking and he quickly knelt on the ground. He said to a group of elders with red eyes:
"Elders, I, Li Yu, am not the kind of person who makes up random things, let alone someone who doesn't know the importance of things! How could I say such unfavorable words to the Famous Sword Sect?!"
Li Wei snorted coldly: "Then tell me what happened."
Li Yu nodded quickly:
"Seven days ago, I did drink with them in Wanjian City, but I left after drinking."
"I promise that I never said those words to them!"
"Senior Brother Li Yu, you can't trick us!" Several disciples roared:
"After you left that day, you came back a while later and said those words to us."
"Otherwise, why would we risk going to Qingtian Sect's territory to find out information? We are not tired of living!"
Li Yu was furious, "Then you mean that I, Li Yu, am tired of living?"
"Shut up!" Li Wei frowned:
"It is basically certain that someone pretended to be Li Yu and said those words to you, with the purpose of stimulating conflicts between us and the Qingtian Sect."
The other elders are not fools, and of course they have seen through this problem.
But the only doubt is that who impersonated Li Yu can't be distinguished by these disciples.
"Is there really someone who looks exactly like Li Yu in the world?"
Li Wei looked at his son Li Yangming.
Li Yangming shook his head, "Li Yu's mother passed away after giving birth to Li Yu back then. I only have this son."
"This is weird."
A group of elders looked puzzled.
Li Wei said in a deep voice at this time:
"The most serious problem now is that Qingtian Sect will not believe our words!"
"Other forces will also suspect that our famous sword sect has established a station in Huangzhou and is trying to take Huangzhou as its own!"
"If we deal with too many, our Mingjian Sect will be in danger."
An elder nodded, "Rumors cannot withstand investigation. As long as we send people from Qingtian Sect to Huangzhou to investigate, the truth will naturally come to light."
Li Wei nodded, "Then contact the people from the Qingtian Sect. I believe they are not fools and will not fall into the trap so easily."
After saying these words, Li Wei blasted out with a palm, and several disciples kneeling on the ground flew out of the hall in an instant, and then exploded into a ball of blood mist.
At the same time, Qingtian Sect.
Qingtian Peak, in the magnificent golden hall on the top of the mountain, dozens of elders looked solemn.
A young disciple covered with scars stood in the middle of the hall, his breath extremely weak.
The ninth elder of the inner sect looked cold and stern, and his pair of cloudy eyes were full of murderous intent:
"The Famous Sword Sect is so hidden. It actually established a station in Huangzhou without making any noise. It's really unreasonable."
Another elder frowned:
"Yes, according to the information left by the ancestors of the sect, before the Territory Lords of the Thirteen Territories of the Barren State launched the war, they mined a huge number of True Essence Stones throughout the Barren State."
"The top forces in the four states have been searching for tens of thousands of years, but they still found nothing."
"I didn't expect that tens of thousands of years later, the Famous Sword Sect would actually be interested in those treasures again."
The eyes of the Ninth Elder shone brightly:
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. If not for the clues, how could the Famous Sword Sect establish a station in Huangzhou? I'm afraid the Famous Sword Sect has already investigated the clues."
Other elders present became excited:
"Now only we and the Famous Sword Sect know about this matter. We can cooperate with them to find the treasure together."
The Ninth Elder’s expression became increasingly cold and stern:
"Since the Mingjian Sect has arranged for people to assassinate people from our Qingtian Sect in Huangzhou, it means that they are unwilling to cooperate."
While talking, Fang Qunfeng, Fang Yu, and the hundred disciples who went to Huangzhou with them were all brought into the main hall.
Seeing the scarred young disciple next to him, Fang Yu frowned:
"Liu Yong, what's wrong with you? Who beat you like this?"
Liu Yong and Fang Yu were acquaintances. When Fang Yu asked, he immediately said angrily:
"It's a man from the Sword Sect. He ran to our Qingtian Sect's territory, captured me, and beat me like this. The purpose was to force him to find out the whereabouts of Elder Wu Qishan."
"Luckily those bastards were drunk, otherwise I would have escaped with my life."
Fang Qunfeng frowned. He didn't know anything about Wu Qishan leaving the sect, but as long as he thought about it, he could guess that Wu Qishan must have gone to Huangzhou!
So...did things come to light?
The Ninth Elder looked at Fang Qunfeng at this time and said:
"Those disciples of the Qingtian Sect got drunk and leaked some information. I will verify it with you now."
Fang Qunfeng nodded, cupped his fists and said, "I will report truthfully."
Fang Yu's heart tightened, but his face remained expressionless, leaving no clues.
The ninth elder asked in a deep voice:
"At the beginning, Li Yu of the Sword Sect said that there were still remnants of Huangzhou and that Fang Yu was closely connected with the remnants of Huangzhou. Then, you took Fang Yu and the hundred disciples present to Huangzhou and killed a group of people. There are more than ten thousand remnants, right?”
Fang Qunfeng nodded, "I have reported this matter to Elder Wu Qishan in detail."
The Ninth Elder looked sharply: "Then when you killed those more than 10,000 people, did you find anything unusual?"
"Abnormal?" Fang Qunfeng didn't know what the ninth elder meant by asking this question, so he had to look at Fang Yu and asked: "Fang Yu, have you noticed anything abnormal?"
Fang Yu frowned and thought for a moment, "I didn't find anything unusual."
All the elders suddenly frowned.
The Ninth Elder changed the question:
"Among those more than 10,000 people, is there anyone special?"
Hearing the word 'special', Xiao Zhan's name flashed in Fang Yu and Fang Qunfeng's minds, but neither of them dared to speak nonsense.
Fang Qunfeng said concisely and comprehensively:
"Except for a young man named Xiao Zhan who is very powerful, there is nothing special about him."
A flash of light flashed in the old eyes of the ninth elder:
"What kind of weapons and techniques did the young man use?"
Fang Qunfeng recalled for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"It's a sword, you can't tell the skill."
The ninth elder frowned immediately, looked at Fang Yu again, and asked in a deep voice:
"The hundred disciples next to you, when they came back from Huangzhou last time to report, they said that Xiao Zhan saved you, so you couldn't bear to kill him."
"That Xiao Zhan learned a secret technique and instantly improved his strength. He fought with Fang Qunfeng to a close, and then died of serious injuries."
"Once Xiao Zhan dies, you will no longer have any psychological burden, and then you will kill all those more than 10,000 people, right?"
Fang Yu nodded, "They are right, this is the truth."
After asking around, no useful information came out.
The elders pondered for a moment, and then heard the ninth elder continue to ask:
"Those drunk disciples of the Famous Sword Sect accidentally revealed a piece of news. Please listen to it and then tell me how you feel."
"Of course, this news also came from Li Yu."
"When Li Yu was drinking with them, he said that the more than 10,000 people you killed were not the remnants of Huangzhou at all, but disciples of the famous sword sect. For some purpose, they established a station in Huangzhou."
"At the beginning, Li Yu deliberately said that you were collaborating with the remnants of Huangzhou, just to force you to go to Huangzhou so that he could take the opportunity to kill you in Huangzhou. Unexpectedly, you found the headquarters of the famous sword sect and took all the more than 10,000 people there. Killed."
"Later, Wu Qishan filmed Zhao Kuo and a hundred disciples heading to Huangzhou. Those people were most likely killed by people from the Famous Sword Sect. Even Wu Qishan's life and death are uncertain now, and he might have been poisoned."
After saying this, the third elder's eyes turned cold, "If that place is really the residence of the Famous Sword Sect, it is impossible that there is no expert in charge. This is the biggest doubt."
Fang Qunfeng and Fang Yu looked surprised.
He wasn't pretending, he was really surprised.
Only they themselves knew that those more than 10,000 people could never be members of the famous Sword Sect.
Fang Qunfeng frowned and suddenly said:
"Is there a possibility that the strong man guarding that place left because of something?"
Fang Yu also nodded, "That night, when I broke into their camp, I heard someone threatening me, saying that they would not spare me until their elder came back."
