Chapter 16: The Demons of the Heart

At this moment when she was pointed out by the disciples of Yuanling Mountain, the confusion and prededgence in Guiyuan's heart suddenly brightened, and she suddenly figured out what kind of sinister reasons were hidden behind everything she had encountered since she re-entered Lingshan.

"Fellow disciples, please calm down, this is indeed the Guiyuan Goddess we worship day and night, so she will never assassinate the head of the sect for no reason."

Zhi Fu came forward at the right time to appease the angry disciples, and looked at Guiyuan with a worried look between his eyebrows.

"Yes, I really wouldn't mutilate the head of Shitian for no reason. When I arrived here, the head of Shi Tian had already passed away, and he was trapped by the heart demon to fight with me to the death, so my sword only killed his heart demon, not the real Shi Tian. ”

Although his heart was clear, Gui Yuan still had to face the doubts of Yuanling Mountain, even though he said it confidently, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

If someone has carefully laid out a game for her from the beginning, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win the trust of the angry crowd based on her words alone.

Sure enough, the disciples of Yuanling Mountain were silent for a moment when they heard this, and a few more voices raised doubts.

"What if you're the Guiyuan Goddess? Saying that our head master Zun Immortal fell into a demon after his death, who can testify for you? In my opinion, it is clear that you are infected with demons, so you will go crazy and assassinate our head master! ”

"That's right, the head master is cultivating alone on the Spirit Lake, how could he pass away for no reason? It's clear that you cut him, and you have to make up words and quibble! Don't think that we don't know, although you are the Venerable Goddess of Guiyuan, you were condemned by the Emperor of Heaven thousands of years ago, and after the reincarnation of the Ninth World and the Six Realms, you will be wiped out! And you will be punished for such a serious crime, it is because you have something to do with the demon world, it is said that the fallen god and demon venerable once killed the Heavenly Palace Temple to save you, do you dare to say that there is no such thing?! ”

"It turns out that the goddess is a witch, how can I, Yuan Lingshan, connive at her fornicating with demons and mutilating innocents?!"

"The goddess is the witch, we will kill her to avenge the master!"

"Yes, I vow to kill this sanctimonious witch and avenge the tragic death of the head master!"

“……”

The words of condemnation that emerged from all sides were endless, and Guiyuan listened to every word. But as if he hadn't heard anything, he was independent of the target, like a sneering smile between the petals of a flower.

Zhi Zhi was not as angry as the other disciples, and maintained his sanity and composure as the sect master: "The goddess said that the head of the sect had already passed away when you came here, and regardless of whether the head of the sect really clashed with the god girl later, I just want to ask the god girl if she knows who last saw the head master before you arrived?" ”

The summoning grandmaster's words can be said to wake up the person in the dream, and Shang Bao's disciples who were a little rational and concerned about the old acquaintance with "Feng Huanling" echoed one after another, urging Guiyuan to recall who the last person who had come to see the head of the sect Shitian.

Speaking of the last person who had seen Shi Tian before her, Gui Yuan naturally thought of the end of the death with her who had also chatted a few words outside the Spirit Lake, but if she confessed at this time, it would undoubtedly transfer the charge of killing the head of the family to him. She didn't think that Zhi Yan had bad intentions in asking this question, after all, they had some friendship between them, and his relationship with his senior brother was also acceptable, so he should not harm him so insidiously.

However, after all, she could not confess at this time, so she had to choose silence.

"I was the last person I saw before returning to the goddess."

Stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds, he heard the news that the head of the sect was killed by the Guiyuan Sword not long after he left Wuji Peak, and he rushed back from Tongtian Peak.

Although the Immortal Sword Sect Master often travels all over the world and is not in Yuanling Mountain, because he has too many legendary stories that have been handed down for three thousand years, and now he is the first fellow disciple to break through the Mahayana Immortal Class after the head of Shitian, so that all the disciples respect him very much.

Therefore, when I heard that he was the last person to see the head of the house, I couldn't help but look at each other, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

"Senior brother? This...... How could it be you? The disbelief on his face was full of disbelief, and he was stunned for a moment before he continued, "Then dare to ask Senior Brother, what was the situation of the head of the family at that time?" But do you have a demon, or something else? ”

Zhi Yan pondered and said: "The head of the sect was still as usual at that time, but he explained to me some things in the door and things that need more attention after becoming an immortal, and then sent someone to invite the goddess of Guiyuan, and when I left, I also met the goddess head-on and chatted a few words. If you still trust this seat, I think there must have been an accident in the Spirit Lake during such a time, and the person who killed the head of the house must have sneaked in during this period. ”

Don't look at the usual stopping, he is very arrogant, as if he has no scruples and is too lazy to think about anything, but this sentence shows his thoughtfulness, and he gently and skillfully leads the problem to the unknown party. In other words, he is alluding to the fact that the person who really killed Shitian cannot be him and Guiyuan, but the dangerous mysterious person hidden in the shadows.

Zhi Yan nodded in agreement: "Senior brother is also very reasonable, this seat also thought that there might be demons and evil spirits who took advantage of the earlier chaos to get in, and have already sent disciples to start searching the mountain. After all, if there are really demons still left in the mountains, they must not be able to escape from our mountain protection array as easily as the fallen gods and demons, then they must still be hiding somewhere in the mountains. ”

Not long after, a disciple came to report that he had found a suspicious person, and after Zhi Zhi and Zhi Yan looked at each other, they ordered someone to bring the suspect up.

"Let me go, why are you arresting me?! Let go...... I was personally taken up the mountain by Her Majesty the Empress Guiyuan, why did you treat me so rudely? Is this the hospitality of your Yuanling Mountain? Let go of more! ”

When he saw that the person who was brought up was actually holding a cigarette, Gui Yuan couldn't help but hum in his head, and the sneer on his lips deepened a little.

When he saw the savior, he knelt down and stepped forward with a frightened face: "The emperor saved me, these stinky Taoist priests tied me up without saying anything, and said that I murdered their head master!" Let me ask me, how can a mortal with a physical body compete with the dignified Immortal Venerable? ”

Although his face was flustered, and his voice trembled like a flower in the wind, his words were still clear and clear.

"The goddess knows this person?" Zhi Yan looked at Yan Yan with a strange expression, "If you are just a mortal in the flesh, how did you go up to Wuji Peak?" ”

If it weren't for the smoke being brought here, Gui Yuan would almost forget that she was going to take him up the mountain to learn from her master, but she clearly remembered that she had left her outside the mountain gate, just as the summoning grandmaster asked, if he was just a mortal with a physical body, even if he could step into the gate of the immortal gate or even climb a certain mountain with extraordinary willpower, it would never be possible to set foot on this supreme Wuji Peak.

"Who the hell are you?" Gui Yuan's gaze was as cold as an ice arrow and frost blade, "The head of Shitian was murdered by you?" ”

As if he couldn't understand Guiyuan's words, he stared at her in shock and surprise without any change in his speech and expression for a long time, as if he had been betrayed and betrayed by someone who trusted him the most, and it was difficult to accept the cruel reality in front of him.

As a result, many suspicious disciples of Yuanling Mountain began to whisper, questioning that the person she personally took up the mountain was the real culprit who murdered the head master, and most of them were instructed by her, and now that the incident happened, she wanted this poor guy to continue to be her scapegoat.

Seeing this, Zhi Zhen's eyebrows turned into deep Sichuan characters, and he asked thoughtfully, "I don't know what the identity of this person is?" Why did the goddess take him up the mountain? ”

Without waiting for Guiyuan to respond, Yan Yan already said with a desperate expression: "It's just a little male pet given to the Empress Guiyuan by the Empress of the Flower God Kingdom, but fortunately, the emperor wants to take me to the Immortal Mountain to learn some skills, so that I can get what I want in the future, and go to the battlefield to avenge my relatives who died tragically in the city." ”

When he heard the word "male pet", Zhi Yan unabashedly showed his disgust, and then looked at Guiyuan's eyes with a trace of disapproval.

The Immortal Sword Sect Master who was originally bent on preserving Guiyuan was still like this, and the other Yuanling Mountain disciples naturally became more and more disdainful after hearing this, and the voices condemning the Guiyuan Divine Maiden became louder and louder.

"It's really a joke, if you're just a little male pet, and no matter how you get to the Infinite Peak, your identity alone is not worthy of stepping into the gate of my First Immortal Mountain!" The disgust of the always decent people is also overflowing, "Whether you are a human or a demon, you don't have to waste your tongue to ask, just try it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a fierce bird conjured up in the hand of the dead had already swooped straight towards the smoke, and the sharp whistling sound was as powerful as the phoenix in the nine heavens.

In the eyes of others, Yan Yan was so frightened by this magical mental image that he forgot to be afraid, and he only watched in a daze at the fierce beak of the fierce bird like a blade and killed him directly, but he didn't know how to dodge or resist, and he was completely helpless and waiting to die.

Gui Yuan's mind moved slightly, and he hesitated to take out his hand to block the fatal blow, although he immediately regretted that he was too impulsive, but he did not regret his actions.

"He is indeed just a male pet given to me by Jia Dai, and the Sect Master of Death has already tested it, and naturally knows in his heart, and he must be embarrassed by Zhenyun, an ordinary man who doesn't even have the power to protect himself?"

As he spoke, Gui Yuan grabbed the cigarette behind him as soon as he grabbed it in the air, which was still stunned like a statue.

"Since he is not the real murderer, and the senior brother tries his best to ensure that the goddess will not kill the master, then who is the real murderer who murdered the master?"

Glancing at the smoke that was hiding behind Gui Yuan again, Zhi Yan turned his head to look at Senior Brother Zhi Yan with a look of embarrassment, and then the disciples of the Yuan Spirit Mountain, who had lost their heads, also cast their ardent eyes on their greatest hope at the moment, the Immortal Sword Sect Master.
