Chapter 54: Confrontation in the Great Hall
Zhou Hao is actually a gamble, but now it is a right bet.
Chen Tianyu no longer paid attention to Zhou Hao and Li Xinlan, and said to Li Xiang: "Great Elder, now that this matter has become clear, it is now impossible to figure out whether it is a personal grudge or other grudges, but it is certain that the murderer has been hit hard, and it is difficult to commit murder in a short period of time." ”
"The current situation is not in our favor, temporarily suppress this matter, don't cause confusion in the hearts of the people in the sect, Great Elder, don't be angry, this is for the sake of the sect. ”
Li Xiang snorted, ignoring Chen Tianyu, his fierce gaze swept towards Zhou Hao, who only felt a shock in his heart, and a pressure condensed in his heart.
Li Xinlan also discovered the abnormality and directly blocked in front of Zhou Hao, blocking Li Xiang's coercion.
Li Xiang saw Li Xinlan walk out, and his eyes became more and more cold: "As you said, the murderer has fled, but even Elder Zhao died in his hands, how did you seriously injure him?"
Zhou Hao's heart froze, he knew that these old monsters were not so easy to fool, but he didn't panic, because this matter was in his expectation: "What the Great Elder said is very true, even Elder Zhao was killed by him, and it is definitely not an existence that can be ambushed in the foundation building period and an early stage of Jindan siege." ”
Li Xiang snorted coldly and said quietly: "Since you know, how did you take the sword from the murderer's hand, or are you the murderer?" I recently heard that you are cultivating sword qi, and several foundation building disciples in the outer gate are not your opponents. ”
Zhou Hao glanced at Li Xiang, the old fox, now, Chen Tianyu thought that this matter was a big matter and a small matter, in fact, it was for the purpose of weakening the power of the family elders.
Now this Li Xiang refuses to reveal it, although I don't know what his idea is, I'm afraid that today's matter in the hall will not end here, and it is very likely that Li Yun's death will be a fuse.
Chen Tianyu saw that Li Xiang was so aggressive, and said loudly: "Great Elder, Elder Zhao was killed by him, it is really right, presumably the thief was seriously injured, the Jindan period battle is not trivial, if the thief cultivates to a high level, he will not lose this white jade long sword, although I am not a sword cultivator, but it is worth sword cultivation A sword is life, if that thief is not his life threatened, how can he drop the long sword?"
Li Xiang no longer looked at Zhou Hao, turned his head and looked at Chen Tianyu calmly: "Sect Master, it's too early to make such a conclusion, no matter what, the death of our Tianlan Sect elder must not be counted like this, I suggest that this matter be thoroughly investigated to prevent anyone from collaborating with the enemy!"
Chen Tianyu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said loudly: "Great Elder, I know that Li Yun's death is a big blow to you, but you can't make everyone a suspect because of one suspicion, so the cohesion of my Tianlan Sect is not very good!"
Seeing that Chen Tianyu refused to give in, Li Xiang continued: "I understand the sect master's thoughts, but Zhao Tianqiu is an elder of my sect, and it will inevitably make people feel chilled to die in the hands of the enemy like this. ”
"You must know that since the founding of my Tianlan Sect, the elders of the sect have been working together, advancing and retreating together in weal and woe, and have made indelible contributions to the development and growth of the sect, but now, the elder is dead, and the murderer is at large, if the murderer is not found, how can we explain to the other elders and how to explain to the disciples. ”
Chen Tianyu's face was gradually getting worse at the moment, he knew that Zhao Tianqiu's death was a good opportunity to weaken the power of the sect elders, but now, Li Xiang was not so easy to mess with.
"I also understand the truth of the Great Elder, but the murderer is hiding at the moment and it is difficult to find a trace, and the first task now should not be to suspect this and that, but to think about how to strengthen the sect's prevention ability next. ”
Li Xiang snorted sullenly, and pointed the finger at Zhou Hao again: "Okay, according to what the sect master said, I will no longer insist on this matter, but there is a basic condition, that is, I want to verify whether this murderer is someone present!"
Zhou Hao was a little unhappy by this gaze, but it was not good to attack, if he really wanted to do it, he would not be afraid, anyway, it was not a desperate move along the way, and the opponent wanted his life, but it was not that he avoided it.
Li Xiang came to Zhou Hao and said: "I heard that the murderer is a sword cultivator with a very strong attack power, and he fights more than 20 foundation building monks with the cultivation of the foundation building period without falling behind, this kind of strength can't even be done by some Jindan monks, if you are not a murderer, the combat effectiveness must not be so strong." ”
Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Li Xiang coldly: "What does the Great Elder mean, telling me to show my hands?"
Li Xiang nodded: "That's right, the people who came to this gathering today are all Elder Jin Dan, any one of them is comparable to Elder Zhao Tianqiu, if you can win the battle, it must be the murderer, if you can't, then you are innocent." ”
Zhou Hao looked at the confident look in Li Xiang's expression, as if he was sure that he was the murderer, and immediately thought that he had once carried a white jade sword to fight against someone, and the person in front of him was very likely to know that he was the murderer, but he didn't point it out to his face, as if he was waiting for a certain opportunity, but it was unknown what the timing was.
Most of the people who fought against him that night were already dead, and he had fought against two people in the sect, one of them was Ye Hong, and the other was Xue Bai.
These two people are the few people who are still alive after fighting him so far, but with Xue Bai's ability, it should not be possible to see his combat effectiveness at that time, and the only one who has access to his full strength is the genius girl Ye Hong, but Ye Hong will definitely not betray him, for some reason, Zhou Hao believes it very much.
Then this is very strange, why this Li Xiang is so sure that he is the perpetrator.
Thinking about it, Zhou Hao couldn't just make a mistake like this: "The Great Elder said this, it's inevitable that it's a little unfair, I admit that I have cultivated swordsmanship, but there are so many sword cultivation in the world, and I'm not the only one, just based on the speculation of one or two people, I concluded that the perpetrator was me, and also, with the elders, I, Zhou Hao, still have self-knowledge." ”
Especially the sentence of self-knowledge, Li Xiang knew that Zhou Hao was reflecting him, but he was not angry, and still smiled: "I have a witness, and this witness is still one of the few people who escaped from your sword in the past." ”
Zhou Hao's eyes were slightly condensed and he did not speak.
Li Xiang clapped his hands, and a middle-aged man officially walked in outside, when he saw this person, Zhou Hao's pupils shrank, and the person in front of him he knew, it was the city lord of Heilong County.
