Long before Yuanchu and Gu Xi came to the hall for a face-to-face confrontation, they went to find Mei Zishi.

By connecting the logic and cause and effect of what happened, they guessed correctly that there was something strange about Lu Ling's death, and his death was not caused by Gu Xi cutting off one of his arms.

"Before Junior Brother Lu died, I checked his body and found that there was indeed demonic energy in his body. I also found something on him."

After he finished speaking, he took out a box and opened it. Inside was a dark stone that emitted a deep, dark light.

"Black crystal?"

"That is a very evil thing. How could he have that kind of thing on him?"

The other elders in the hall all frowned, whispered to each other, and discussed a lot.

Ying Rongxuan's eyes widened, and he was furious: "Mei, how dare you search my junior brother's body and take his things at will?"

Mei Zishi shook his head. "I didn't find this thing when I searched his body. It was something left on the ground after his body was devoured by the evil spirit. I just picked it up."

Ying Rongxuan pointed at his nose and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Mei Zishi glanced at him, not too fast or too slow, "You and I both know that the black crystal is extremely evil, a forbidden item of the sect, and it appeared on your junior brother. If I give it to you, as his senior brother, wouldn't you deliberately hide it for him?"

Ying Rongxian's face turned pale, as if he had not expected that Mei Zishi had another trick up his sleeve.

Gu Huailiang, who was sitting in the first seat on the right, looked ugly and gloomy.

If his apprentice Lu Ling had hidden this kind of thing on him, then the matter would become tricky.

The black crystal stone exists in the Black Ruins. It was formed from the chaotic energy when the world was first created. It is something that can easily attract evil.

According to records, it had disappeared a hundred years ago and was listed as a forbidden item by various sects. Once discovered, it would be destroyed.

Ying Rongxian immediately jumped up in anger, wanting to point at someone's nose and curse.

"Ridiculous! Although this thing was picked up from my junior fellow apprentice, someone may have deliberately framed him!"

A scornful and sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Xi's lips. This man is truly shameless.

"Your junior brother is arrogant and domineering on weekdays. He relies on his status and power to bully others in the sect and do all kinds of evil. This is known to everyone in the sect."

"How many disciples have been humiliated by him?"

"Besides, he is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. Who among the disciples can get close to him quietly?"

"Given his status, who would dare to put anything on him?"

"Who else would dare to frame him in front of everyone?"

Every word Gu Xi asked was powerful as she dissected Lu Ling's crimes one by one in front of everyone.

She didn't believe that no one in this hall had heard of Lu Ling's ugly crimes.

Heaven is cruel and justice is hard to uphold.

"Shut up! You are such a vicious woman that killed my junior brother, and you dare to mention him!"

"You were contaminated with evil spirits in public, and everyone saw it. You cut off my junior brother's right arm, and you admitted it yourself."

"It was you, a vicious woman, who killed my fellow apprentice. Don't even think about denying it today!"

Yuan Chu glanced to the left, his eyes stern, and fell coldly on Ying Rongxuan who spoke rudely.

It seems that the younger one's bad behavior has a lot to do with the older one. Lu Ling's senior brother Ying Rongxian really needs to be taught a lesson.

He calls her a vicious woman all the time. He is really uneducated and has no integrity as a monk.

Didn’t the person who gave birth to him and raised him teach him how to write the word “respect”?

Just a glance at him, the majesty of the state of distraction made Ying Rongxuan feel cold all over and he couldn't say a word.

"How dare you! How can you behave so rashly in this palace?"

On weekdays, what Yuanchu hated most was people with dirty mouths.

You can scold her, but you absolutely cannot scold the person she loves!

Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting him, and Ying Rongxian's head was pressed down inch by inch.

His breathing became rapid and heavy, veins on his neck bulged, but he looked unconvinced.

Feeling the rich aura emanating from Yuanchu's body, everyone in the hall was shocked. She was still so young but had actually broken through to the Spirit Severing Realm.

In Gu Huailiang's eyes, which were stained by the years and corroded by wind and frost, what was left was only sophistication and ruthlessness.

He narrowed his eyes. The state of distraction? That was beyond his expectation.

Seeing his own disciple being put under such pressure, if he doesn't take action, where will he save his face?

Gu Huailiang glanced at Yuan Chu and said calmly, "Elder Yuan."

Yuanchu then withdrew his pressure, glanced at Ying Rongxuan again, and said in a cold voice: "Next time, remember to think before you speak, and don't speak dirty words."

Yan Youdao looked solemn and said solemnly: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore, let's talk about the cause of Lu Ling's death first."

Mei Zishi bowed and said, "Master, after Lu Ling's body was devoured by the demonic energy, two demonic insects were left in the air."

"And there was indeed a bloody hole on his broken arm, and the disciples saw a blood-red demonic insect crawling out of the hole."

"From this, it can be seen that what Junior Sister Gu said is true. It is true that Lu Ling was corrupted by the devil worm and lost his mind."

"Perhaps it was the black crystal on his body that attracted the devil insects. As time went on, the devil insects gradually gnawed at his lungs, leading to his death."

Ying Rongxuan gnashed his teeth and said, "Nonsense, it was clearly Gu Xi who killed my junior brother, what does it have to do with that demon bug!"

"All the disciples present saw it. In front of everyone's eyes, the demon worm crawled out of your fellow apprentice's corpse. How can you say it has nothing to do with it?"

Yuanchu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Lu Ling was taken advantage of by the devil bug, which led to his madness and possession. He had a demon in his heart and tried to kill Gu Xi. Gu Xi cut off one of his arms just to protect herself."

"My disciple only cut off his arm to protect himself. What's wrong with that? As for his subsequent death, it had nothing to do with Gu Xi."

Gu Huailiang suddenly slapped his chair and stood up, looking at Yuan Chu, "So what Elder Yuan means is that my disciple should die, right?"

"The proud disciple that my Yuyang Peak cultivated with great efforts for decades died tragically at the hands of your Yuanchu disciple. He deserved it, didn't he? No matter what, you from Qingqi Peak don't want to give me an explanation today, right?"

He took a breath and looked at Yan Youdao, "Master, since we established our sect a hundred years ago, our Yuyang Peak has trained a lot of talents for the sect and has made great contributions to the sect's expansion. Over the years, our Yuyang Peak has not made great contributions, but even if we have no contributions, we have worked hard. Now that the disciples of Qingqi Peak have killed my beloved disciple, don't you want to pay any price?"
