Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Chapter 297 No Conspiracy

After Su Ming said this, he looked at Yu Tianyi who was sitting aside. Standing next to him were his daughter Yu Hongluan and second disciple Mo Yunfan.

Everyone's eyes fell on the three people. Yu Tianyi was calm. He took over his words and said directly: "The traitor Shen Zhui has done such a disaster. I am deeply ashamed. When I learned about this, Cang Yu Sect had already expelled him from the sect. Today's trial will be held. No matter the result, the three major sects will have full authority to handle it."

Yu Tianyi said this solemnly, but Yu Hongluan and Mo Yunfan beside him had different expressions.

After Su Ming got the reply, he looked at Mu Yunzhong and Jiang Tingwan in the middle of the stage, and said loudly, "Before that, there is one more thing I want to tell you. According to the immortal sect disciples who entered the Wuji Abyss earlier, on the day they entered the abyss, they saw those evil cultivators who took advantage of the chaos to enter the abyss collectively kneeling down to Mu Yunzhong, a disciple of the Sanyuan Sect, and calling him Your Excellency."

As soon as these words were spoken, a discussion broke out in the field, and everyone pointed fingers at the two people in the field.

Su Ming spoke, but his target was not Mu Yunzhong and Jiang Tingwan below, but he looked at Cang Shuzi in the seat of the Sect Leader, obviously forcing him to make a statement as the Sect Leader.

Can Wenhe Academy examine this disciple of Sanyuan Sect or not?

Everyone looked at Cang Shuzi at the same time, and the square fell into silence, waiting for the same answer as Cang Yu Zong.

After a long while, Cang Shuzi finally spoke under everyone's gaze, "Is this true?"

He did not give the same reply as Yu Tianyi, but directly bypassed Su Ming and asked the two people in the field.

Su Ming had a surprised expression on his face and could only look at Pei Xuanzhi behind him. After not receiving any instructions, he let Cang Shuzi continue asking.

Mu Yunzhong: "Yes."

"But it's not either!" When Jiang Tingwan heard the word "yes", he quickly took over the conversation and added.

"If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. All the immortal families are here to witness it. There are also witnesses. You can't make excuses." Su Ming said sternly.

Mu Yunzhong was about to stand up, but Jiang Tingwan held him back, "It's not that they are trying to quibble, but what they saw may not be true."

"What does this mean? Seeing is not necessarily believing?"

"That's right? You're really trying to quibble."

"It's obviously an excuse."

The whispers in the field gradually became louder.

Jiang Tingwan could only raise his voice and continue, "Everyone, please be quiet. I haven't finished what I want to say. Some of you must have heard some rumors about me. Mu Xingzhi of the Qingfeng Sword Sect was once engaged to me, but he left me in public at a wedding banquet because of a woman."

"That woman's name is Ye Nanzhu. You must have heard a rumor about her. Some say she was a descendant of Nangong Xiu and a remnant of the Wuchen Palace. Whether this is true or not is not the point, but there are people who believe it."

"Back then, I was abandoned by Mu Xingzhi in public. I felt deeply humiliated and became obsessed with love. I even mistook the child that Mu Xingzhi gave me before his death as the union of him and Ye Nanzhu. This misunderstanding lasted for nearly twenty years, to the point that everyone in Sanyuan Sect believed that Mu Yun was their child."

"Anyone who rebels must have a legitimate reason. The Three Corpses Sect considers itself as a descendant of the Wuchen Palace, so it is natural that they must look for a legitimate young master. After learning about the existence of my disciple, they took the initiative to find me. And my disciple has grown up in the Sanyuan Sect since he was a child, under my nose. No one knows better than me who he is and what he does every day. Even if he is clean and self-disciplined, he cannot stop someone from taking the initiative to claim to be his master."

"So, it's one thing for you to see someone calling my disciple 'your honorable master', but whether my disciple is their honorable master and whether he wants to be their honorable master is another matter."

Jiang Tingwan's words were so confident that they actually silenced the people in the audience. They immediately began to think about the difference between the two.

Seeing this, Zhao Liyang spoke up and laughed, "Elder Bai is so eloquent that he can actually describe what everyone has seen so calmly."

Having said this, the expression on his face became even uglier. It was already annoying enough to deal with this mess, and he really had no patience for verbal disputes.

"Our sect doesn't care whether your past events are true or false, and we don't care whether Mu Yunzhong is their master or not. Colluding with evil spirits is a serious crime. If you are determined to protect him, Sanyuan Sect cannot escape blame."

After that, he looked at Cang Shuzi again and asked with absolute pressure, "Master Cang, these two are from your Sanyuan Sect. As the master, shouldn't you give an explanation to the Immortal Alliance?"

The pressure came upon Cang Shuzi again, and Lin Shuyu looked back and forth in both directions anxiously.

After another period of waiting, Cang Shuzi said, "If this matter is related to the disciples of my Sanyuan Sect, the Sanyuan Sect will deal with it. But if you want to pin the crime of colluding with evil spirits and disrupting the trial conference on the disciples of my Sanyuan Sect based on the current evidence, isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Cang Shuzi looked at the two people in the field calmly, as if he was thinking about something, and his words shocked everyone.

His attitude was already clear.

"Humph, Sect Leader Cang is really courageous." Zhao Liyang sneered and shouted towards the bottom, "Stop talking so much, why don't you bring the people up quickly."

He was really fed up with this kind of formal interrogation. These people were shameless and thought they were human beings just by talking to them nicely.

It was because of the Wenhe Academy's style of handling things, emphasizing evidence and decency, that Wen Bushian was able to take advantage of the opportunity. If he had handled things the same way, Shen Zhui and Mu Yunzhong would have died on the eve of the trial conference, and the subsequent events would not have happened, killing so many people from the Ziyang Zhenzong in vain.

Seeing Zhao Liyang getting angry, Su Ming signaled to the academy disciples below with his eyes, and in everyone's sight, Shen Zhui was brought up by two people.

His hands and feet were locked with chains with runes wrapped around them. The cold iron chains made crisp collision sounds against the hard stone under his feet.

When they met again, Shen Zhui's expression was calm and composed, as if he had accepted everything. Although his clothes were torn, they were still clean.

A strand of hair on the forehead hung naturally, swaying slightly with the wind as she walked.

Seeing Shen Zhui, Yu Hongluan and Mo Yunfan above couldn't help but take two steps forward, but after receiving Yu Tianyi's gaze, they retreated at the same time.

Mo Yunfan also put his hand on Yu Hongluan's shoulder, which was both a comfort and seemed to be intentional.

Shen Zhui below did not even glance at the three people above, as if he was really just an abandoned disciple of the Cang Yu Sect, but this abandoned disciple had neither love nor resentment towards his former sect.

Only when he walked onto the interrogation stand and saw Jiang Tingwan, did a bright light flash in his eyes.

They survived.

Every time when he thought it was the last time, he would see her again.

Is it the same this time?

"Shen Zhui." Zhao Liyang's interrogation came from above, "If you tell the truth about who else conspired with you, our sect can consider leaving you with an intact body."

Hearing this, everyone was waiting for Shen Zhui's reply. After all, he had no way out.

But what Jiang Tingwan didn't expect was what was said in public.

“There was no collusion.”

"There is only Shen Zhui."
