Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai stared at Li Yuanzong, his murderous intention getting stronger.

"Lin Bai, do you have anything to say about what Li Yuanzong said?"

Zheng Yuan stared at Lin Bai with a gloomy expression. All the evidence presented by Li Yuanzong pointed directly at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai's suspicion was indeed the greatest.

"Reporting to the elders. Li Lu, Pan Hun and others were indeed killed by me. There is no need for me to quibble. But senior brother Mu Huaqing was indeed not killed by me." Lin Bai said to Zheng Yuan in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Zheng Yuan's eyes darkened, and he gradually began to think about it.

He felt in his heart that Lin Bai was not lying. If Lin Bai really wanted to quibble, then there was no need for him to admit to killing Qi Liang, Wu Di and others.

But Li Yuanzong insisted that Lin Bai was the murderer of Mu Huaqing.

This...put Zheng Yuan in a bit of trouble.

"Tang Wei, were you there at that time?"

Zheng Yuan saw Tang Wei standing there silently without saying a word, so he asked her.

Tang Wei hesitated a little, took a deep breath, clasped her fists and said, "Elder Qi, I can testify that Wu Di, Qi Liang, Zhao En, Li Lu, Pan Hun and others were indeed killed by Lin Bai. Junior Brother Lin Bai killed them. After that, he really wanted to kill Li Yuanzong."

"At that time, Senior Brother Mu Huaqing tried his best to stop him, and Junior Brother Lin Bai also fought against Mu Huaqing. But from the beginning to the end, Senior Brother Mu Huaqing and Junior Brother Lin Bai kept their hands to themselves and never thought about killing the other party."

"Later, Li Yuanzong escaped, and Senior Brother Mu Huaqing and Junior Brother Lin Bai chased him respectively."

"On the way, Senior Brother Mu Huaqing wanted to find Li Yuanzong first, so he separated from us. So Junior Brother Lin Bai and I went to look for Li Yuanzong."

"Senior Brother Mu Huaqing's bones were discovered by me and Junior Brother Lin Bai together. When we found the body, Senior Brother Mu Huaqing was already dead..."

"So, judging from all the signs... Junior Brother Lin Bai does not seem to be the murderer of Senior Brother Mu Huaqing!"

Tang Wei explained the whole story clearly and clearly.

After listening to this, Zheng Yuan suddenly felt enlightened. Since Mu Huaqing's bones were discovered by Tang Wei and Lin Bai together, and Tang Wei always followed Lin Bai on the road, it seems that Lin Bai did not have time to kill Mu Huaqing.

"She lied! She lied!" Li Yuanzong shouted at this moment: "Elder Zheng Yuan, Tang Wei and Lin Bai have been colluding for a long time. Please don't listen to her words."

"The two of them must have worked together to kill Senior Brother Mu Huaqing."

Li Yuanzong felt cold in his heart. He really didn't expect that Tang Wei would suddenly appear next to Lin Bai and testify for Lin Bai.

If there was no Lin Bai, relying on the relationship between Li Yuanzong and Mu Huaqing, he could easily spill all the dirty water on Lin Bai.

Tang Wei glanced at Li Yuanzong, feeling disgusted in her heart, and said calmly: "Elder, everything I said is true. As for Li Yuanzong saying that Junior Brother Lin Bai and I were in cahoots... I haven't known Junior Brother Lin Bai for a long time, and I haven't known each other for a long time. What kind of personal relationship is it? With my status in the sect, I don’t need to curry favor with him, so I don’t need to give perjury to Junior Brother Lin Bai.”

Zheng Yuan took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.

In the current situation, Li Yuanzong strongly accused Lin Bai of being the murderer of Mu Huaqing, and Tang Wei was Lin Bai's accomplice.

Lin Bai and Tang Wei corroborated each other, and it was the two of them who discovered Mu Huaqing's bones. If they were the murderers, they would not have brought out Mu Huaqing's bones.

Of course, from Zheng Yuan's perspective, it cannot be ruled out that both parties did not lie.

If Li Yuanzong is lying, then he is slandering Lin Bai and Tang Wei.

If Lin Bai and Tang Wei lied, it would prove that Mu Huaqing was indeed killed by them!

Zheng Yuan sorted out the information he had collected and said: "After this matter returns to the sect, I will report it to the sect master and the great elder, and ask the elders' pavilion to make a decision."

"Lin Bai, Li Yuanzong accused you of killing Mu Huaqing, and he produced evidence. It seems that you are the most suspect."

"After you return to the sect, I will not leave the island where I live easily. I will be on standby at any time and prepare to be investigated by the sect."

"Understand?"

Zheng Yuan said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, which was regarded as agreement.

"Let's set off and return to our sect."

Zheng Yuan took out the spirit boat, asked the Tianshui Sect disciples to board the spirit boat, and flew away into the sky.

Before leaving, Zheng Yuan bowed his hands to the spirit boat at the Gate of Heaven and Earth and then floated away.

On the Tiandi Sect spirit boat, the old Taoist waved his fly whisk, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and watched the Tianshui Sect spirit boat gradually go away.

"The show has begun."

The smile on the old Taoist's lips was full of treachery and coldness.

"Let's go back to the sect too."

Following that, the old Taoist also urged the spirit boat to return to the gate of heaven and earth.

…

After many days.

The Tiandi Sect Spirit Boat returned to the sect, and the old Taoist asked his disciples to go and rest, while he went straight to the sect master's hall.

The Heaven and Earth Gate and the Sect Master's Hall are where the senior leaders of the Heaven and Earth Gate decide on the sect's major affairs.

Today is the day to return from the medicine-gathering trip in the ancient secret realm. The elders in the Heaven and Earth Gate gathered in the main hall of the sect.

The old Taoist figure came from outside the door, entered the main hall, and bowed his hands: "I have met the door master."

Sitting at the Gate of Heaven and Earth was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early fifties. He was wearing a loose black dragon robe, with a resolute face and extraordinary appearance. He said slightly: "Elder Ma Qiuming doesn't need to be polite. Will there be any gains from traveling to the ancient secret realm?"

Lao Dao's real name is Ma Qiuming.

But he has always appeared in the eyes of the world dressed as a Taoist priest. People who respect him will call him "Taoist Master", and people who have no good impression of him will call him "Niubi Laodao". Therefore, no one knows his real name for a long time. .

The old Taoist smiled, and he naturally understood in his heart that the harvest the sect leader asked about was not the harvest from gathering herbs in the ancient secret realm, but about the harvest in the second secret realm and the third secret realm in the ancient secret realm.

After all, the discovery of the second and third secret realms by the Heaven and Earth Sect is no longer a matter of one or two days. Every time the ancient secret realm is opened, the Heaven and Earth Sect will send elders to secretly sneak into the third secret realm to look for traces of the elixir of immortality.

"Nothing gained." The old Taoist sighed secretly and shook his head slightly: "The alchemy array in the Ancient Eternal Life Palace in the third level of secrets is indestructible. I have tried all my methods, but I can't shake it even a bit."

The leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect frowned and asked: "The Heaven and Earth Sect has prepared many methods to break the formation over the years, but are they still useless?"

The old Taoist smiled bitterly and said: "I have tried them all, and I have tried them several times, but I still can't open the magic circle."

The leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect sighed bitterly: "It seems that it is not that easy to get the elixir of immortality from the Ancient Ancient Sect."

"Elder Ma has worked hard on this trip. Ten years later, the ancient secret realm will be opened again, and Elder Ma needs to go there again. If we can open the ancient Eternal Life Palace and get the elixir of immortality, this will be of great benefit to the Heaven and Earth Sect. .”

The old Taoist smiled and agreed. He did not inform the sect that the ancient Eternal Life Palace had been destroyed. Anyway, ten years later, he would go to the ancient Eternal Life Palace. At that time, he was looking for an excuse to say that the ancient Eternal Life Palace had been destroyed. Then you can explain it to the sect.

In these ten years, the old Taoist will try every means to deal with Lin Bai and take away the elixir of life.

The old Taoist clasped his fists and said: "This is to inform the sect master, I went to the ancient secret realm this time. Although I did not bring back the elixir of life, I did bring back some other news."

"Some news about Tianshui Sect..."
