Final Volume Chapter 20
Zhong Jie and others hurriedly ran into the back hall. When they looked up, they were all dumbfounded. They saw that Shangguan Yuan Rang had taken off the lid of the coffin and tore the clothes off Dongfang Yehuai's body. He was holding a dagger and was giving The latest chapter of the disembowelment of corpses.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Zhi and other disciples' eyes turned red, and they shouted sternly: "Shangguan Yuan Rang, how dare you humiliate the master's body, we will fight with you!" As he spoke, everyone drew out their swords, Together they charged towards Shangguan Yuanrang.
"Wait a minute!" Shangguan Yuanrang pulled away and raised his hand to everyone. Then, he mouthed into the coffin and said: "You have been saying that Huangfu Xiutai killed your master, now you see for yourselves. See the truth!"
Hearing his words, Zhong Jie and others were all startled. They frowned and stared at Shangguan Yuan Rang for a long time, and then turned to look inside the coffin.
Seeing that the master's body was cut open forcibly, all the disciples couldn't bear to see it. At this time, the second disciple Feng Yi let out a surprised sound. Then he quickly walked to the coffin, poked his head and looked carefully.
Zhong Jia also stepped forward and lowered his head to take a look. He saw that the body's cut belly was covered with dense vines, which penetrated the internal organs with thousands of holes. It was shocking, but now the vines had withered. , became black and softly attached to the internal organs.
"What...what is this?" The disciples present were all shocked. They never imagined that the master's stomach was actually full of these things.
"That's the spiritual seed!" Shangguan Yuanrang said: "Someone had given the spiritual seed to Elder Dongfang in advance, and then when Elder Dongfang and Elder Huangfu were talking, he suddenly activated the spiritual seed, killing Elder Dongfang, but after On the surface, Elder Dongfang seems to have been killed by Elder Huangfu.”
Who would have thought that a matter that had been revealed would have a hidden secret. In this way, Huangfu Showcase was wrongly accused? Thinking of this, everyone trembled, and Zhong Jia asked urgently: "Who would do this? Who else dares to murder the master?"
Shangguan Yuanrang shrugged and asked: "Only wood spiritual cultivators can activate spiritual seeds. How many wood spiritual cultivators were there at that time?"
"This..." After his reminder, everyone suddenly thought of Wei Biao.
When the master died suddenly, Wei Biao was the only wood spiritual cultivator present, and later Huangfu Xiutai also said that he had no intention of visiting the master. It was Wei Biao who took the initiative to find him and persuaded him to visit the master. Huangfu Xiutai then came to Dongfang Mansion.
At the time, they all thought that this was Huangfu Xiutai's excuse to divert everyone's attention, but now it seems that what Huangfu Xiutai said at the beginning was true. He was obviously being used by others and did it for no reason. scapegoat.
"Oops!" Zhongzha now understood everything. He clenched his fists, beat his head repeatedly, and said with regret and hatred: "We wrongly blamed Elder Huangfu, we wrongly blamed Elder Huangfu..."
The other disciples, like Zhongjia, were filled with regret and remorse.
For them, it was too late to know the truth. Now Huangfu Xiutai is dead, and in order to avenge their master, so many of their brothers died at the hands of Huangfu Xiutai. In the end, it was all a conspiracy. Misunderstand.
Zhong Jia stomped his feet fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Damn Wei Biao for teasing us!"
Shangguan Yuanrang sneered and said: "You should know very well what kind of person Wei Biao is. Could he have thought up such an insidious and vicious trick on his own? He alone dared to murder the great elder. ”
"General Shangguan means..."
"How could he do such a great thing if there was no one to support him?"
"It's Nie Zhen! That's right, it must be the old thief Nie Zhen who sent him to murder the master!" Zhong Jia rolled his eyes and said faintly: "While he was using Elder Huangfu, he also secretly killed the master and killed the master. Let Elder Huangfu be charged with murder, and Nie Zhen can just sit aside and watch the fire, and he can enjoy the benefits! "
Shangguan Yuanrang nodded and said: "Mr. Zhongjia is not a brainless person. It's just a pity that Elder Huangfu was charged with murder for no reason, which led to his crazy temper and his death in vain!"
His words were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts, making Zhong Jia's face turn red and white.
Yes, Elder Huangfu died unjustly, and one of the people who killed Elder Huangfu was himself. Thinking of this, Zhong Jiao suddenly flipped his wrist, put the sword back on his neck, and then wiped it down without saying anything.
Everyone around him was horrified when they saw this, but it was already too late to save him. However, Shangguan Yuan let his hands quicken and rushed to Zhong Jiao, waving his sword and knocking him away.
Bang! The sword hit the wall nearby and bounced to the ground. Looking at Zhong Jia's neck, there was only a shallow blood mark on it. Shangguan Yuanrang looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "What is Mr. Zhongzhi doing?"
Zhong Jia closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. He choked with sobs and said with a trembling voice, "I'm blind, I'm sorry, Master. I didn't know how to recognize people, and I killed Elder Huangfu, and let so many juniors lose their lives in vain. How can I have the dignity to live in this world anymore? General Shangguan really shouldn’t have saved me!”
Having said this, Zhongjia turned around, fell to his knees in front of Dongfang Yehuai's coffin, and cried loudly.
"Big Brother!" The people around him gathered and knelt down with him. "Big Brother, don't let it go. It's not that Big Brother is blind and can't judge people, but Nie Zhen is too cunning and insidious!"
"That's right!" Shangguan Yuanrang continued: "If Mr. Zhong He commits suicide, it will only add another wronged soul to the world, which will not help. Besides, the revenge of Elder Dongfang has not been avenged yet, so why should Mr. Zhong He rush to commit suicide?"
His words made Zhong He tremble. He stopped crying, his eyes shone with blood, his fists clenched and creaked, and he said in a serious voice: "That's right, even if I die, I have to avenge the master's blood feud first! Dear fellow disciples, follow me to Nie Mansion now to settle accounts with that old thief Nie Zhen!"
"Yes! Big Brother!" The other disciples are now also desperate. As long as they can avenge their master, they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives.
Zhong He stood up, bowed to Shangguan Yuanrang and said, "General Shangguan, I am grateful for your kindness. This time we will go to find Nie Zhen. If we go but never come back, we will pay for Elder Huangfu's life. If we go and come back, we will give Elder Huangfu an explanation!"
This sentence sounded a bit bloody. Shangguan Yuanrang just nodded and said nothing. Zhong He bowed to him again, and then waved to his fellow apprentices and shouted, "Let's go!"
Everyone filed out, left the mourning hall, and went straight to Nie Zhen's mansion. Looking at their backs leaving in a hurry, Shangguan Yuanrang raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile.
He knew clearly that Nie Zhen was dead now, and Zhong He and others would definitely come to nothing if they went to Nie's house, but he did not stop them. The bigger the incident, the better. It would be best if the whole city knew that it was Nie Zhen who killed Dongfang Yehuai and put the blame on Huangfu Xiutai. In this way, no one would hold him responsible for Nie Zhen's death in Fengying, but would applaud and thank him for eliminating this great harm for Shenchi.
Shangguan Yuanrang picked up the lid of the coffin with a smile, and while covering it on the coffin, he sighed to the corpse lying inside: "Dongfang Yehuai, Dongfang Yehuai, I didn't expect you to be useful when you were alive, and you became even more useful after you died."
After putting the coffin lid away, Shangguan Yuanrang clapped his hands and walked out of the back hall. Jiang Fan, who was waiting outside, saw him come out and said nothing, but just raised his thumb, and admiration appeared on his face.
Everyone thought Shangguan Yuanrang was brave but not wise, but in fact he was rough but meticulous and very smart!
Just as Shangguan Yuanrang expected, in broad daylight, Dongfang Yehuai's disciples, led by Zhong He, went to Nie Mansion to seek revenge on Nie Zhen, attracting many people to stop and watch.
And the news that 'Nie Zhen was the real murderer of Dongfang Yehuai, and Huangfu Xiutai was just wronged' spread quickly throughout the city like wings, and of course, the news also reached Chuanying.
At this time, the battlefield was being cleaned up in Chuanying. It seemed like a catastrophe had just happened here, with messy and dead bodies everywhere, but people seemed very excited. Although many brothers were injured and killed, they successfully got rid of the scourge of Huangfu Xiutai.
The Chuan people were not excited for too long, and the news that Huangfu Xiutai was just a scapegoat came.
Xiao Xuan was resting in the tent, but after hearing about this, he turned over and sat up, looking eagerly at the spy leader who came to report the news, and asked: "Is this... is this true?"
"Reporting to the king, it is absolutely true. Mr. Zhong He and others have just examined the body of Elder Dongfang, and saw with their own eyes that the belly of the body was full of vines. It must be that a wood-type spiritual cultivator planted a spiritual seed in Elder Dongfang and secretly activated the spiritual seed, which killed Elder Dongfang. But the only wood-type spiritual cultivator present at the time was Wei Biao, and he was Nie Zhen's eldest disciple. This matter must be related to Nie Zhen!"
"So, I... also wrongly blamed Huangfu Xiutai?" Xiao Xuan widened his eyes and muttered.
"The king is not wrong. The blame lies with Nie Zhen, the old thief, who is too cunning and insidious. He not only deceived the king, but also deceived everyone present!"
"However, there is still one thing I can't figure out. How did Nie Zhen plant the spirit seed in Elder Dongfang?"
The spy leader rolled his eyes and said, "There must be Nie Zhen's insider in Dongfang Mansion."
"Not necessarily!" Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "If the problem is not with the people in Dongfang Mansion, then it must be with the medical officers of our army."
The spy leader took a breath and nodded secretly. The king's guess was right. It has always been his own medical officer who has been prescribing medicine for Dongfang Yehuai's illness. He is also one of the people who has the best chance of planting the spirit seed in Dongfang Yehuai.
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"
