Hearing Tie Lianshan's question, the sect master calmly replied, "It's normal that you don't know, only previous sect masters are qualified to know this secret. ”

"At the same time, only the previous sect masters can open the passage here. ”

The sect master looked at Lin Yuan as he spoke.

"Your name is Lin Zhi, you tell me, how did you get in. ”

Lin Yuan saluted and replied, "I don't know what's going on, when I passed over here, a big hole suddenly cracked in the ground, and then there was a force that sucked me down. ”

"Bold! You rebellious disciple, I think you are a spy! I heard people say that you acted strangely when you were at the outer gate of Ximing Mansion, and you deliberately hid your strength at that time, I don't know what you are trying to do. ”

Before the sect master could reply, Tie Jingyi immediately charged Lin Yuan'an.

“...... Sect Master, it was precisely because I discovered this that I infiltrated the island in the middle of the lake to follow this person, in order to find out his purpose. ”

In the end, he actually said that his actions were a great achievement.

Tie Lianshan also stroked his beard and nodded, "Sect Master, that's exactly the case. ”

"Qiu Shan and Tie Kang, they followed you in, why didn't you see them come out?"

Tie Jingyi saw that the sect master was contemplating, so he once again asked about the whereabouts of the two.

Lin Yuan lied: "They followed me in, but after entering, we were separated, and I didn't see them." ”

Anyway, their corpses are completely gone, and there is no proof of death, so let's put aside the relationship first.

Besides, this forbidden place is so dangerous, even if they triggered some kind of prohibition and died, it can barely be justified.

At this time, the sect master spoke: "Lin Zhi, your explanation is too far-fetched for me to accept. ”

"It meant to be. Tie Lianshan followed and reprimanded: "Everyone has never found anything abnormal about this island in the middle of the lake, why is it your turn to be in this situation." ”

Tie Jingyi also said domineeringly: "I said earlier that he is a spy, he must have known this secret of our sect for a long time, it is ......." ”

The sect master waved his hand, stopped his words, and clapped his decision: "Don't be so anxious to make a conclusion, let's leave here for the time being, summon Lin Zhi's sect master Chu Gao, and then we will investigate this matter carefully." ”

As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Lin Yuan's back twice, as if there was something behind that door that made him worry.

......

Chu Gao, the owner of the outer gate of Ximing Mansion, rushed to the inner gate in the starry night.

At night, in a secret room at the inner door.

The secrets of the sect's forbidden land could not be leaked, so the sect master issued a ban order, and only a few Supreme Elders participated in the trial of Lin Yuan.

"Tie Kang and Qiu Shan haven't been found yet?"

After everyone sat down, the sect master glanced at Tie Jingyi and asked.

Tie Jingyi replied worriedly: "Sect Master, no, they must have been killed by this person." ”

Hearing this, the sect master glanced at Lin Yuan, shook his head and said, "With his cultivation, he is not the opponent of the two transcendent realm martial cultivators at all. ”

Seeing that Tie Jingyi was still angry, the sect master said again: "Elder Tie, I know that your son's disappearance makes you very anxious, but now is not the time to be rash. ”

"And you have a lot of responsibility for this matter, there are many dangers in the sect's forbidden area, you should have informed me as soon as possible, instead of letting the two disciples act without permission. ”

There was obviously a hint of blame in the sect master's tone, and Tie Jingyi finally didn't dare to say more.

"Alright. The sect master looked at Chu Gao and asked, "Master Chu, you are Lin Zhi's sect master, you first talk about his past." ”

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Chu Gao replied loudly and bowed his head.

Immediately after, he talked about how Lin Zhi got started and how he performed in the outer gate.

“...... Sect Master, it's a subordinate who deserves to die, at that time I did find him suspicious, and I was investigating him, but the outer door trial had already begun, and I couldn't deprive him of his trial qualifications. ”

What made Lin Yuan angry was that Chu Gao followed the words of Tie Lianshan and Tie Jingyi, added fuel and vinegar, and said that Lin Zhi was a spy of other forces who had entered the Tiger Roar Sect.

"Sect Master, Lin Zhi is a heinous crime, you must punish him severely, and I, as his sect master, cannot escape the blame, I am willing to be punished together. ”

Chu Gao retreated and knelt on the ground to ask for his life.

Seeing this, Tie Lianshan nodded, and said first: "Master Chu, don't panic, the crime in this matter is not yours, and the sect master will definitely deal with it fairly." ”

Hearing this, the sect master looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Zhi, what the master of the Chu Sect said, but the truth?"

"Did what I said work?"

Lin Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Bold!" the sect master scolded sternly and said, "If you have anything in your heart, just say it, and I will give you this opportunity to argue." ”

"Okay, sect master, then let me tell you, these sect masters and elders in the gate are usually high-sounding, but they actually hide dirt behind their backs. If nothing else, at least these three people are definitely not good people. ”

Lin Yuan stood up and pointed to the three of Tie Jingyi.

The reason why he did this was because he was gambling, betting that the sect master was an upright person.

He is now cornered, and this is the only way to go.

"Boy arrogance!"

"Sect Master, such a rebellious disciple should be killed immediately!"

Sure enough, all three of them rebuked angrily.

However, the sect master ignored them, but urged: "Lin Zhi, say what you want to say, don't talk this nonsense again." ”

"Yes, Sect Master. ”

Lin Yuan quickly told the story of what happened after entering the house, how he formed a grudge with Gan Yunhua until it finally developed into a life-and-death fight, how the door owner Chu Gao shielded Qiu Shan, and Tie Jingyi and Tie Kang went to Huxin Island to hunt him down in order to avenge their personal revenge.

He told all of this in detail.

Since what was said was the truth, there was no fault in it, and for a while, most of the people in the secret room were silent.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and the suzerain didn't know who to believe.

"The kid really makes things up. ”

At this time, Tie Lianshan snorted coldly and said, "Sect Master, this kind of rebellious disciple should be tortured to force him to tell the truth, being gentle with him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger." ”

Tie Jingyi also said: "He is only a disciple of the outer sect, so he is already so good at making rumors to slander the seniors in the sect, and trespassing on the forbidden land is also a sure fact, I also think that he should be tortured." ”

After a while, one of the Supreme Elders said lightly: "As a sect master, you should take maintaining the stability of the sect as the greatest principle, and now that a disciple has a conflict with so many elder sect masters, then I think this is a good choice." ”

Hearing this, the sect master's expression tightened.

The meaning of this Supreme Elder's words is very direct, at the moment, Lin Zhi, an outer disciple, should be directly sacrificed in exchange for the unity of the upper echelons of the sect, and nothing else is fair and just.

At this time, another Supreme Elder said, "This son's cultivation is not high, and he is not worth being used, Sect Master, is this choice difficult?"

Hearing this, the sect master's gaze shifted to Lin Yuan again, frowning and pondering.
