......

The central hall of the Holy Land is brightly lit, but the atmosphere in a certain place is extremely depressing.

In the main hall, the seven Holy Land Elders headed by Xing Mu sat majestically in the center and on the left and right sides, and below the seven elders stood several Holy Land Mentors, among them, Yang Ping, who was responsible for managing all matters in the Holy Land in the past two years. At this moment, the seven old faces of the seven elders sank like water, and there was a faint hint of slaughter.

Above the main hall, under the torture wood, Ou Chuyang stood calmly at the bottom, his position was too obvious, and it happened to be between the six elders of the torture wood, which made Dongfang Xue, Xu Jie'er and others at the door guess in their hearts, they didn't understand why the great elder would let Ou Chuyang stand there.

In the midst of speculation, the door creaked, and several people came from the outside in. These people were all dressed in the costumes of the Holy Land students, but except for the first one, whose face was full of solemnity, the other four followed behind him with a decadent face, their heads so low that they could barely see their faces.

Several people came in, and the first one stood in the center of the main hall, looked around with a dull face, and when his gaze swept over Ou Chuyang, he suddenly stopped, then snorted, turned his head to Xing Mu again, and said respectfully: "Student Pei Li, bring Pei Quan to confess." ”

Xing Mu slowly opened his closed eyes, and suddenly burst out of a ball of essence, and said, "Pei Li, this matter has nothing to do with you, you stand aside first, I have something to ask Pei Quan." ”

Pei Li replied yes, and then walked to the side and stood still, however, when he turned around, he glared at Pei Quan with that slightly angry but implicitly reminding gaze.

Pei Quan saw his eldest brother looking at him with such eyes, and he also knew in his heart that the former was doing his own good, so he reminded himself to answer truthfully. Therefore, Pei Quan nodded, and decided in his heart that no matter what Xing Mu asked, he had to answer truthfully, at least with his eldest brother, there was still a chance to intercede.

As soon as Pei Li retreated, Xing Mu immediately spoke: "Pei Quan, why did you set fire to the medicine garden." ”

When Pei Quan heard this, he didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately told him how he knew Ou Chuyang, how he made enemies, and then he was angry with Ou Chuyang for ignoring him, and he was framed. Among them, except for the discussion with Luo Minghai on how to frame Ou Chuyang and did not say it, he did not hide it at all, and he told it out.

After listening to Pei Quan's statement, Xing Mu nodded, and then said: "You sent people to set fire to the medicine garden, causing the medicine garden to suffer huge losses, and even, in order to cover up the facts, you actually hated to kill your own friends, and your behavior is shameful to the Holy Land, so after the study of my Holy Land Elders' Council, it was decided to give you the punishment of abolishing internal qi and expelling the Holy Land, can you accept it?"

"What?"

Although Xing Mu's few words were brief, the strength of this punishment shocked everyone, and even Ou Chuyang on the side began to move slightly, in his mind, this was originally an academy for cultivating martial artists, so even if Pei Quan's punishment was heavy, it was as simple as expelling from the Holy Land, but he never thought that this Xing Mu would actually abolish Pei Quan's internal qi.

If a martial cultivator does not have internal qi, it is like a normal person with less limbs, which is equivalent to a wasted person, and this kind of punishment is really a bit too strong. However, after thinking about it, Xing Mu's words were not too much. Just imagine, Pei Quan was able to ruthlessly kill his friend who had been with him for a few years, such a wolf ambition, if it was released to the outside world, wouldn't there be another ruthless person on the mainland? Perhaps, Xing Mu didn't want another villain on the mainland.

Listening to the punishment decision given to him by Xing Mu, Pei Quan couldn't stand anymore, and knelt on the ground with a weak foot, but his eldest brother Pei Li anxiously stepped forward and knelt down, pleading: "Great Elder, please allow me to intercede for Pei Quan, although he burned the medicine garden to frame Ou Chuyang, but he was also confused for a while, resulting in murder and killing, that is, he was instigated by others after drinking, and lost his mind for a while." Therefore, I would like to ask the Great Elder not to abolish his internal qi. ”

Glancing at Pei Li lightly, Xing Mu waved his hand and said, "You retreat first, I haven't finished talking yet." ”

When Pei Li heard this, he didn't dare to say much, but he didn't get up, he still knelt on the ground, waiting for Xingmu to continue. Seeing that the former was so stubborn, Xing Mu no longer paid attention to it, but looked at Pei Quandao again: "Pei Quan, we know a little about your personality, this plan to frame Ou Chuyang should not be your idea, as far as I know, there should be others behind you who are instigating, so that you can walk on this road of no return step by step." Well, if you can name who is behind the scenes, maybe the Council of Elders will consider not destroying your inner qi, but expulsion from the Holy Land is a certainty. Think for yourself. ”

Hearing this, the two brothers, Pei Quan and Pei Li, both raised their heads violently, and a look of hope for rebirth flashed in their eyes. But Ou Chuyang, who was below the torture wood, was immediately clear. It is true that he once reminded Xing Mu of the statement that there was a behind-the-scenes instigation, but he didn't expect Xing Mu to use the abolition of Pei Quan's internal qi as a condition for the latter to point out the mastermind behind the scenes, no wonder as soon as he came up, he said that the problem was so serious and the punishment was so severe, it turned out that Xing Mu didn't want to really abolish Pei Quan's internal qi, what he wanted was to ask Pei Quan to point out the person behind the scenes.

Hearing that Xing Mu had the intention of letting Pei Quan go, Pei immediately turned his head and whispered to Pei Quan: "What else do you want? ”

Hearing Pei Li's reminder, Pei Quan also woke up from his sluggishness, and immediately spoke: "Yes, Elder." Actually, here's the thing..."

Just said this, suddenly, a cold light shot from Pei Quan's side, this cold light contained an incomparably cold aura, mixed with a little black light, shooting straight towards Pei Quan.

This cold light came so suddenly that even the seven elders in the main hall were strong, and they did not make a proper response.

The cold light hit, and with the strong wind of the team, in front of everyone, it directly hit Pei Quan's temple. The sun acupoint is an important acupoint of the human body, and with Pei Quan's strength, he can't change the pulse of the I Ching, so this sudden cold light will kill him in an instant.

Looking at his younger brother who fell to the ground, Pei Li was actually stunned on the spot, he didn't expect that his younger brother, who was alive just now, would become a dead man at this moment.

The brief shock did not last long, Pei Li immediately became angry, and when he looked back, a pair of eyes containing incomparable anger were cast to the right side.

Yang Ping, the Holy Land Mentor, lived in the Holy Land for ten years, during which his performance was extremely good, coupled with his superior qualifications, he was selected by Xing Mu as the next candidate for the Elders' Council, but at this time, everyone looked at him in disbelief, the reason was that the cold cold light came from the hand of Yang Ping, who was the Holy Land Mentor.

Looking at the mediocre-looking Yang Ping tutor in front of him in surprise, everyone's faces were full of astonishment, and at that time, no one thought that he would suddenly make a move and kill Pei Quan.

His eyes swept between Pei Quan's corpse and Yang Ping, Pei Li finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart, completely ignoring who the other party was, and no longer considering why the other party killed Pei Quan, who had just entered the realm of martial artists, with only one move, and the strength in his whole body was like a surging river.

"Damn, give my brother back. In a fit of rage, Pei Li rushed towards the revenge of killing his brother in front of him, and the release of his internal strength actually reached the level of a full fourth-level martial artist.

However, seeing Pei Li running towards him, Mentor Yang Ping did not panic at all, and even a touch of disdain suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Slowly raising his right hand, Yang Ping's shoulder moved, and the whole person disappeared in front of Pei Li's eyes, and when he reappeared, he was already on Pei Li's side.

"I can't help myself. The low words of disdain sounded in Pei Li's ears, and just when the horror in Pei Li's eyes just appeared, Yang Ping's palm, which contained unparalleled internal strength, was already imprinted on Pei Li's body.

"Boom"

With the spitting of the internal strength in his palm, Pei Li only felt a strong force coming from the back of his heart, and then, like a swallow with folded wings, he fell down violently, and when he landed, he smashed the ground paved with blue bricks into a deep pit.

The battle between the two was completed in just a short moment, and the winner was already divided, no need to think about it, just a glance to know that the gap between Pei Li and Yang Ping was not ordinarily large.

Seeing that Pei Li was knocked to the ground with one move, and he couldn't get up for a while, all the students immediately subconsciously retreated in all directions, and left the battle circle one after another, looking at this once familiar mentor with a look of horror.

And at this time, although there was no order from Xingmu, one of the elders had already flown over, and his body was glowing with a scorching fire spirit attribute aura and attacked Yang Ping violently.

A martial arts level powerhouse, he can fly in the sky, coupled with his own strong strength, whether it is speed or strength, it is not comparable to the previous Pei Li. And at this critical juncture, Yang Ping was not too flustered.

His brows were only slightly furrowed, and in front of everyone's eyes, Yang Ping was actually the same as the elder, the silver light flashed under his feet, and he suddenly flew up and floated in the air. Then, in the face of the elder's attack, Yang Ping's whole body was shocked, and a momentum that was even more powerful than before was suddenly released, alternating his palms, and meeting the elder.

"Boom~"

A loud bang immediately resounded in the central hall, and under the influence of this loud sound, even the students outside the central hall trembled in their hearts.

The holy place, which had been peaceful, was immediately in an uproar when it was triggered by this loud noise from the central hall. Countless students who heard the sound began to pour in from all directions. At this moment, it is not difficult for countless people to guess.

Shrine. Something went wrong.

Countless students began to converge towards the location of the central hall, and at this time, in the main hall, the faces of Xing Mu and the other elders changed several times, and they looked at Yang Ping in front of them in disbelief.

"When did Yang Ping reach the realm of Martial Venerable?" Yuan Ming looked at Yang Ping in surprise who had not been defeated after several moves against another elder, his face was full of incredulity, and the reason why he asked first was because he often went in and out of the medicine garden, and the management of this holy land was rarely involved, and for Yang Ping, he was only limited to his martial arts level strength.

Next to him, another elder shook his head and said in the same surprise: "I don't know, he has always been a seventh-level martial artist, but I didn't expect him to hide so deeply, why?"

Xing Mu watched everything, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, for some reason, he always had a strange feeling of incomprehension in his heart, this feeling made him feel very dangerous, as if the Yang Ping in front of him was not the same as the Yang Ping he was familiar with.

In the midst of hard thinking, time passed slowly, and at the same time, Yang Ping had already dismantled the elder for no less than thirty rounds, and what shocked everyone even more was that at this moment, the former still did not show defeat.

It seemed that he couldn't bear the two of them fighting like this, and Xing Mu suddenly snorted coldly: "Elders, don't care about your identity, take him down first." ”

After listening to Xingmu's words, all the elders immediately understood, and then they no longer procrastinated, each urging their internal strength, and rushed up, trapping Yang Ping firmly in the middle.

At this time, Yang Ping could no longer maintain that calm posture, and in anger, the former laughed: "Unexpectedly, the six elders of the Holy Land actually acted together to deal with me, an unknown person who has just entered the Martial Venerable, it seems that the Holy Land is nothing more than that." Yang understood. ”

Yang Ping shouted, his words were full of mockery, but although the elders listened to it in their ears, their faces were red, they still listened to Xing Mu's words, did not spare their hands, and all kinds of high-level martial arts beckoned to Yang Ping one after another.

The six great martial artists besieged Yang Ping, and the result can be imagined, the latter could not break through at all, and he could not defeat any of the elders, so after the other five elders shot together, in just two or three rounds, Yang Ping was in danger, and finally, the palm of one of the elders touched the back of his heart, spit out vigorously, and slapped Yang Ping out with a bang.

Wow~ A mouthful of blood spurted out of Yang Ping's mouth like a spring, forming a rain of blood in the air, and at this moment, Yang Ping finally suffered a lot of internal injuries.

Seeing that Yang Ping was seriously injured, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the nameless anger in their hearts was also extinguished a lot because of this blow, but before everyone woke up, Yuan Ming suddenly shouted eagerly: "It's not good, Ou Chuyang, get out of the way." ”

This reminder raised everyone's hearts to their throats, and when everyone present looked at Yang Ping, everyone found that the position where Ou Chuyang was standing at the scene was just far away from everyone, and he was only the closest to Yang Ping, who was slapped out with a palm, and that distance was only a few steps away.

Yang Ping, who was knocked away, actually showed a smug look on his face after spitting blood, and in a flash, Yang Ping came to Ou Chuyang, and couldn't help but say, one hand became a claw and tightly clasped Ou Chuyang's neck, while the other hand tightly grasped one of Ou Chuyang's arms.

"Don't move, be careful that I break his neck. ”

Yang Ping suddenly held Ou Chuyang hostage, causing the elders to immediately stop chasing after him, and stared at Yang Ping with angry expressions on their faces. Although they were extremely angry in their hearts, they had to endure it for the sake of Ou Chuyang's safety.

Seeing Yang Ping holding Ou Chuyang hostage, Xing Mu frowned at first, then stepped forward, looked at Yang Ping coldly and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Yang Ping suddenly laughed: "Who am I? You don't need to know, I don't do anything, now I just want to get out of here." ”

Xing Mu looked at Yang Ping lightly, although he was worried about Ou Chuyang's safety, he didn't show it, but said calmly: "Do you think that if you kidnap a Holy Land student, I will let you leave?"

"Haha~" Yang Ping laughed wildly when he heard this: "Old thing, don't block me with words, others may not be able to, but I know that Ou Chuyang is different." The crisis facing the Holy Land depends on this kid to survive safely. ”

Hearing this, all the elders changed their colors, and in a fit of rage, Xing Mu immediately asked, "How do you know? What do you know?"

"What do I know?" Yang Ping asked rhetorically, and continued: "Ten years in the Holy Land, others don't know, but I know everything, the Holy Land will face a huge crisis in half a year, hehe, without Ou Chuyang, you Xingmu will become a sinner in the history of the Holy Land, I'm not wrong." Don't talk nonsense, get out of the way. ”

Yang Ping said, his hand tightened, and Ou Chuyang felt suffocated by the force, and raised his head slightly.

Seeing this, Xing Mu hurriedly said: "If you want to leave here, you can, but you have to ensure his safety." ”

"No problem, as long as you don't follow, I won't hurt him. Yang Ping added a tongue and said with a cold smile.

Since Ou Chuyang's life was pinched by the other party, Xing Mu no longer dared to act rashly, so several elders could only watch Yang Ping hold Ou Chuyang hostage and walk towards the outside of the central hall step by step. And they, following closely behind, have always maintained a distance from Yang Ping.

When they came to the central hall square, a large number of Holy Land students had already gathered outside at this time, and when these Holy Land students saw that Tutor Yang Ping was holding Ou Chuyang hostage on weekdays, they didn't understand what was going on. It wasn't until the inside of the central hall of Xingmu and the others followed out that they felt that something big had happened in the Holy Land this time.
