Chapter 578: Rough Frame-up
Although most of those immortal cultivator sects were no longer enough for the dozen or so of them, no one dared to deny that every sect that could be called a name always had a few old monsters and so many terrifying secret methods.
It didn't know what was going on, it alarmed those people, even if there was no danger of their lives, it was enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention that there were so many innocent disciples in the Demon Slaying Sect.
At this time, almost half of Quping Mountain was shrouded in the Great Sect Protector Array under Luo Fanbu. Just look closely, you will find that there are some microcracks on this large array, which is obviously under strong attack.
However, to everyone's relief, the current situation is not as bad as they imagined, at least the foot of Quping Mountain is not surrounded by people.
The group soon came to the halfway up the mountain, only to see that the door of the Demon Slaying Sect was closed, and the door was empty, but there were still traces left by the fight.
Luo Fan frowned, decisively pinched his hands, opened a gap in the Protector Sect Great Array, and greeted everyone: "Quick, follow me in." โ
As soon as they stepped into the Demon Slaying Sect with their front feet, they saw Bai Lisheng running out with a group of disciples with solemn expressions, it was obvious that they felt that someone had touched the Great Sect Protector Array and wanted to rush to defend against foreign enemies.
Seeing Luo Fan and the others, Bai Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and then led all the disciples to run to Luo Fan in a hurry, knelt down and saluted: "Master, you are finally back!"
Luo Fan nodded, helped Baili Sheng up, and asked with a solemn face, "Sheng'er, what happened?"
Bai Lisheng sighed heavily, and his tone was angry and a little choked: "It's a disciple who is incompetent, and he can't protect the Demon Slaying Sect, so he has no choice but to open the Great Sect Protection Array." If Master doesn't come back, I'm afraid that in a few days, my sect will be flattened!"
Luo Fan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to blame yourself, you quickly tell me the whole story of the matter." โ
Bai Lisheng and Luo Fan walked in front and led everyone to the main hall of the Demon Slaying Sect. Along the way, Bai Lisheng also gave a general account of what happened in the past six months.
It turned out that one day more than half a year ago, a Taoist priest who claimed to be a disciple of Qingxuguan came to the Demon Slaying Sect, saying that he had something important to visit the sect master of the Demon Slaying Sect.
However, at that time, Luo Fan was on the way to Shifan Mountain, and the return date was unknown, so Bai Lisheng had to tell the truth about the situation and apologize.
But the disciple of Qingxuguan still insisted on keeping the worship post, saying that no matter when the sect master of the Demon Slaying Sect returned, the post must be sent to him.
Bai Lisheng accepted the post and wanted to ask the other party to stay for a few days, but the other party refused, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to return to Qingxuguan. Seeing this situation, Baili Sheng did not stay any longer, and sent people all the way to the foot of Quping Mountain.
However, what Bai Lisheng didn't expect was that a month later, Qingxuguan once again had a disciple come to the door, but this time it was not one, but ten, and all of them seemed to be extraordinary, obviously the kind that should be valued in the sect.
These ten people came suddenly, and their attitudes were very unfriendly, just looking at the posture of calling the door, it seemed that they wanted to smash the gate of the Demon Slaying Sect.
Bai Lisheng was very surprised at the time, and after several conversations, he figured out that the Taoist priest who came to deliver the prayer post last time had only returned to Qingxuguan in a few days, but he did not return by himself, but was carried back by several senior brothers who went down the mountain to do business.
According to the visitor, when the disciple who handed the prayer note was carried back, he almost only had one breath left, his hands and feet were destroyed, and the immortal roots were destroyed, and he could only be a waste person lying on the bed and needing to be served for the rest of his life.
The unlucky disciple insisted that it was the people of the Demon Slaying Sect who detained him without saying anything, and then tortured him, forcing him to ask him what kind of conspiracy Qingxuguan was trying to play when he suddenly visited.
In the end, Xu was because he figured out that he was the most ordinary disciple in the Guannei, and he couldn't get in touch with any core sect secrets at all, so he let him out, preparing to let him fend for himself.
Speaking of this, Ji Zi'an couldn't help but sneer: "This is obviously a trap, if you really detain people, they have already been tortured like that, so why let him go? There is no proof of death in this way, even if the other party comes to the door to look for someone, he can deny that he has not seen this person. Leaving him a wasted person outside is not just to publicize this matter through his mouth. โ
"yes, that's what I told them. But who would have thought that the person who set the trap behind him was so cunning, and it was only the first step to attract the people of the Clear Void to the Demon Slaying Sect. Bai Lisheng said with a painful face.
"What happened after that?" asked Rofan.
Bai Lisheng sighed, and then told what happened next.
At that time, Bai Li Sheng analyzed the possibility of the matter, and the ten disciples with extraordinary strength did hesitate after listening to Bai Li Sheng's speculation, but it was only hesitation. Soon, the Taoist priest named Xu Hao at the head raised questions, and he asked Bai Lisheng why he refused to accept the prayer note handed by Qing Xuguan.
Bai Lisheng was confused at the time, he explained to the other party that he had accepted the greeting post for Luo Fan, and as soon as Luo Fan came back, he would immediately hand the greeting post to Luo Fan.
However, that Xu Hao obviously didn't believe what Bai Lisheng said, because the disciple who had become a waste person in Qingxuguan still had the worship post on his body when he went back, and the post looked exactly the same as when he was sent out, there was no trace of dismantling, and there was no trace of stains because the disciple was tortured.
It is clear that the prayer was put back on him by his tormentors, and it is very provocative.
Clear-eyed people know at a glance that this matter is deliberately framed, the Demon Slaying Sect is at best a rising star among the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and the fame and strength of the Sect are not yet on the big stage, how can it be impossible to call out to the leading boss of the Immortal Cultivation Sect - Qingxuguan for no reason.
However, the other party was not willing to listen to Baili Sheng's words at all, and he was bent on seeking justice for the deposed disciples, and he had the posture that the Demon Slaying Sect would never compromise if he did not admit his mistake and handed over the culprit.
In order to prove that he was not lying, Bai Li Sheng invited all the ten disciples of Qingxuguan into the sect and asked them to rest in the main hall for a while, and he immediately went to his room to prepare to find the prayer post.
But what Bai Lisheng didn't expect was that when he returned to the room, he almost turned the things in his house upside down, and he didn't find the prayer post.
Just when he was anxious, he suddenly sensed an unusual turmoil, and the source of that turmoil was none other than the stone chamber in the Demon Slaying Sect where the corpses of the elders of the Painting Clan and the bodies of Yun Rui and her children were stored.
He couldn't help but think about it, and he immediately rushed towards the stone room.
But even a long distance is not a long distance, but when Bai Lisheng arrived, he was immediately stunned, and his brain was buzzing - I saw more than a dozen people lying at the door of the stone room, eight of them were Taoist priests who came to the door from Qingxuguan this time, and the other few were disciples in the Demon Slaying Sect.
Obviously, the dozen or so people on the ground were already dead, and they must have had a fierce argument before they died, and then they didn't know who made the first move, so they attacked each other.
But Bai Lisheng couldn't figure out what caused them to kill each other. Only eight of the dozen or so people who died were disciples of the Qingxuguan, and in this case, in fact, the ten Qingxuguan disciples who came to the door all died here, which was the most beneficial situation for the Demon Slaying Sect.
But the two who disappeared were obviously afraid of being surrounded by others after solving the disciples of the Demon Slaying Sect here, so they left for the plan.
Bai Lisheng was very helpless and recruited some more disciples, sent out a few people to find the whereabouts of the other two Qingxuguan disciples, and then asked the other disciples to dispose of the corpses of these dozen people, while he himself hurriedly entered the stone room.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he stepped into the stone room, he noticed that something was wrongโthis place that should have been full of spiritual energy was surging with a faint demonic aura at this time.
This realization made Bai Lisheng quite shocked, and he instinctively looked at the ice crystal jade coffin of Yun Rui and Gu Yifan, and sure enough, he noticed that there was a faint trace of demonic energy spreading outward.
At this point, Bai Lisheng also probably guessed why Xu Hao's ten people clashed with the disciples of the Demon Slaying Sect, which eventually led to the death of so many people.
"How is this possible? Rui'er is Shura, and she is not a witch of the demon clan, how can there be demonic energy on her body?" Hearing this, Luo Fan couldn't help but roar.
Bai Lisheng naturally understood why his master was so indignant, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only say truthfully: "The apprentice doesn't understand why, it's just that the demonic qi in the ice crystal jade coffin must have been discovered by the disciple of Qingxuguan." After that, there were rumors in the outside world that this sect was hiding a female demon who was about to wake up.
"One of the two people who left the sect alive is Xu Hao, with his identity in Qingxuguan, presumably if he tells this matter, the people of Qingxuguan will definitely believe him, not to mention that he has a senior brother who can testify for him. โ
Luo Fan nodded, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again, "No, Master, there is no reason for his old man to draw conclusions about one thing so easily." He should know the status of these immortal cultivation sects with the Clear Void Concept, and what kind of consequences he would bring to the conclusion of the Demon Slaying Sect like this. โ
"Master?" Bai Lisheng wondered.
An Ruyue blinked and patted her head, "Yes, I think this 'Qingxuguan' sounds familiar, isn't this the place where Luo Fan's predecessors learned from their teachers back then?"
Everyone present knew that Luo Fan had once worshiped a certain immortal cultivation sect to practice immortal law, and they also knew that it was because of this opportunity that he got acquainted with Gu Wentian and Yun Rui, so there was an entanglement between the three of them that had not really been cut off for thousands of years.
