Chapter 675: United, Hongmen Banquet!
When Emperor Cangyue heard this, his expression changed slightly.
When everyone present heard this, they also showed worry.
If it was the few years when the demon clan had just invaded the Fengwu Continent, the human race was energetic, boasted of being rich in resources, and had many elites, maybe they would say very hardly, just fight, who is afraid of whom?
But after two or three hundred years of war, the human race is already on the verge of collapse and is overwhelmed.
At this time, if there is a chance to stop fighting and recuperate with the demon clan, it is the welfare of the whole human race, and no one can refuse.
The desire for peace transcends any period, even temporary.
Some people even feel that if the war can be stopped, it is okay to give some compensation to the demon clan.
Now, right ahead, there's a big opportunity.
As long as the murderer of the Northern Demon King is handed over, the human race can not only reach a truce agreement with the demon race, but even get compensation from the demon race, who can not be tempted?
"Emissary, we are deeply saddened by the news of the death of the son of the Northern Demon King, and have been doing our best to find the murderer, but ......" Emperor Cangyue said regretfully, "Because the clues are limited, we really don't have any eyebrows!"
"This doesn't have to worry about Emperor Cangyue, I already know who the murderer is, as long as you don't shield him!" Jin Peng said lightly.
"Oh?" Emperor Cangyue immediately asked, "Messenger, who is it?"
When Jin Peng heard this, his eyes scanned, and finally intentionally or unintentionally stayed on Xiao Chen's seat, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
"Emperor Cangyue, I know that if I point out a random person, you will not be convinced, and many people present will not be convinced, but ...... I have a witness!" Jin Peng said, clapping his hands and saying, "You three, come up!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw two men and a woman entering together, their expressions full of panic and trembling, obviously frightened.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know, but looking at the costumes, I should be a disciple of the Lishui Sect!"
"Leaving the Water Sect?"
There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and they didn't know why.
How could the demon clan be related to the Lishui Sect, and what did the envoy of the demon clan ask the people from the Lishui Sect to do?
"Disciple Lin Tao of the Lishui Sect!"
"Guo Yitian!"
"Lu Xinyue!"
"Meet the Emperor!"
These two men and one woman are none other than the disciples of the Lishui Sect that Xiao Chen met in Bailu Town, Lin Tao, Guo Yitian, and Lu Xinyue.
"Flat!" Emperor Cangyue said, looking at Jin Peng suspiciously, and asked, "Messenger, you said they are human witnesses?"
"That's right!" Jin Peng was very sure and said to the three of them, "You three, in the middle of last month, did you go to White Deer Town?"
"Returning to the envoy, we have indeed been to Bailu Town!" Lin Tao replied truthfully, "At that time, I was ordered by the sect master and the elders to go to Bailu Town to get something!"
As if to verify what Lin Tao said, an elder from the Lishui Sect came forward and said: "What Lin Tao said is true, at the beginning, an elder from the Lishui Sect died in Bailu Town, and buried a token of the sect there. This secret was only known to us after many years, so we sent Lin Tao and the three of them to Bailu Town last month to take back the token!"
"Emissary, does this matter have anything to do with the murder of the son of the Northern Demon King?" Emperor Cangyue asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's related?" Jin Peng snorted, "The place where the son of the Northern Demon King was killed was in White Deer Town, and it exactly coincided with the time when they arrived in White Deer Town, on the same day!"
When everyone present heard this, they were all stunned.
"Could it be that they killed the son of the Northern Demon King?"
Since the place of White Deer Town was captured by the demon clan, there are almost few human races to go there, and it has become a deserted place.
The three of them from the Water Sect and the son of the Northern Demon King went to Bailu Town at the same time, and then the son of the Northern Demon King hung up, and anyone would be suspicious.
"You three, do you still have something to say?" Emperor Cangyue said in a majestic tone.
"Emperor Mingjian, the three of us were indeed besieged by a team of demon beasts at that time, but we escaped in time using the Sky Breaking Talisman, and there was no battle, let alone the son of the Northern Demon King!" Lin Tao hurriedly said, "What's more, with the strength of the three of us, how can we talk about killing the son of the Northern Demon King in the army of demon beasts?"
"This ......," Emperor Cangyue hesitated.
Jin Peng said lightly: "I also believe that you in the Jindan period don't have that ability, and the son of the Northern Demon King definitely didn't die at the hands of the three of you!"
"Thank you, envoy, for your insight!" Lin Tao said gratefully.
"Wait, I'm not done yet!" Jin Peng interrupted Lin Tao, "Since you are not murderers, it means that there was a fourth person in Bailu Town at that time, right?"
"Yes, there was indeed a fourth person in Bailu Town at that time!" Lin Tao said immediately.
"Who is it!" Jin Peng asked sharply.
"Yes......" Lin Tao's eyes turned, and he landed directly in Xiao Chen's direction, pointing at Xiao Chen and shouting, "It's him, he was also in Bailu Town at that time!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Lin Tao's identification made the scene boil instantly.
Xiao Chen was also in Bailu Town at that time?
Could it be that the son of the Northern Demon King died at the hands of Xiao Chen?
With Xiao Chen's rampant and strength, he can indeed do this, and it is like his style!
"Lin Tao, are you sure? The stakes are very high, you must not be sloppy!" the Elder of the Lishui Sect said in a serious tone.
"Elder, I'm pretty sure, you can also ask Senior Brother Yi Tian and Senior Sister Xinyue!" Lin Tao said.
When Guo Yitian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Lin Tao's words are not half a lie, I can testify, Xiao Chen was at the scene at that time!"
The Elder of the Lishui Sect nodded, and then turned to ask Lu Xinyue, "Xinyue, what Lin Tao and Yi Tian said, is it true?"
Lu Xinyue had been lowering her head and biting her lip, not daring to look at anyone, especially Xiao Chen.
Because she knew that once she spoke, it would be tantamount to sentencing Xiao Chen to death.
However, under the pressure of the elders, under the gaze of the Cangyue Emperor, the envoy of the demon clan, and everyone present, she could not choose after all.
"Back to ...... Returning to Elder, Xiao Chen was indeed present at that time!"
After speaking, Lu Xinyue closed her eyes, her expression full of guilt.
Wow!
The crowd was in an uproar!
The three of them made the same statement, and it was almost certain that Xiao Chen was present at the time, and the evidence was sufficient.
"It seems that the truth has finally been revealed!" Jin Peng's gaze directly locked on Xiao Chen, and his tone was playful, "Friend, do I need to give you a chance to defend yourself?"
"Young Master Xiao, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Cangyue lowered his tone and asked slightly.
For a while, all the eyes present were also focused on Xiao Chen.
Some are nervous, some are gloating, and some are looking at the excitement.
And Xiao Chen, since he saw Lu Xinyue, Lin Tao, and Guo Yitian appear, his expression has not changed at all, and he has always looked calm.
"I should have known that this was a Hongmen feast, but I didn't expect you to join the demon clan and unite together!"
Xiao Chen's tone was flat, his gaze swept over Emperor Cangyue, the Elders of the Lishui Sect, and Jin Peng, and he spoke again:
"Yes, I did kill a man who claimed to be the son of the Demon King in White Deer Town!"
