Xu Han sat dejectedly at the entrance of the Sword Palace. Beside him was Nangong Jing, who was also wearing a seven-stringed golden robe.
Beneath him were hundreds of swordsmen, but they were also divided into two groups. One group was Xiao Ran's trusted aides, mostly from various small sects, but most of them were simply the wandering Jianghu warriors without sects or sects. Although his cultivation was weak, he had a clean background. The other group of disciples were from the three sects and twelve towns. Their positions were largely restricted by the sects behind them.
At this moment, although the two sides had different positions, their eyebrows were filled with vigilance and unease.
Something's about to happen.
Today was the deadline for Luo Mo to stay for three days. Luo Mo would definitely bring a large group of people to ask questions. Everyone present knew exactly what this meant.
However, Xu Han, as the person involved, did not have the mood to care about this matter. He looked at Ye Hongjian and the others behind him with a deep brow and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Yesterday, he tried to persuade everyone to leave with half a day's tongue, but the result was very little. Everyone's attitude was exceptionally resolute, especially Ye Hongjian. Most likely, this girl was still worried that the matter of Chang'an had not helped Xu Han. At this moment, it was naturally impossible for her to leave.
Now, apart from Su Mu'an, who wanted to "restrain" 19, who had yet to arrive, all the people in the Yan Clan had come here, as if they were facing a great enemy. Seemingly sensing Xu Han's gaze, the silent Ye Hongjian actually leisurely turned her head and smiled sweetly at Xu Han.
Xu Han was instantly dumbfounded and helplessly withdrew his gaze.
…
An hour later, a commotion came from outside the mansion.
Everyone's hearts trembled as they turned to look in the direction of the manor gate. Without the slightest surprise, Immortal Luo Mo had led nearly a hundred people to appear in front of everyone's eyes at that time.
Luo Mo was dressed in a black robe with a dragon-like tiger face. The dragon head was dignified and the tiger face was ferocious.
If it had been five or six days ago, with Luo Mo's status, most of the people present would have only nodded slightly when they saw him. If there was some hatred, they would not even give him a proper glance. However, it was said that Luo Mo, who had been in the Immortal Dimension for three days, would be treated differently. At this moment, everyone present, whether they were enemies or friends, fell silent and looked at this man with reverence.
"Nangong Jing greets Headmaster Luo." Nangong Jing, who was also the current de facto ruler of the Sword Pavilion, stood up and bowed respectfully to the man.
In the past, with Sunset Cloud Valley's awkward situation, Nangong Jing's worship was enough to make Luo Mo panic and hurry back, but now? Luo Mo only lightly nodded at Nangong Jing as a greeting.
Afterwards, he stood no more than a few zhang away from Xu Han.
"Three days have passed. Has Young Master Xu found out the truth?" He didn't have the slightest intention of speaking politely to the crowd, so he directly asked at that time. Although he did not stimulate his immortal aura, the majesty of his tone alone was enough to cause a chill to rise in the hearts of everyone present.
This was the might of an immortal. There was no need to activate it. These words and deeds coincided with the principles of heaven and earth. Although they could not reach the point where they followed the law, they were enough to cause ordinary people to feel fear.
Inevitably, after hearing this question, everyone turned their gazes to Xu Han, who was sitting beside Nangong Jing.
However, Xu Han, as the person involved, did not seem to feel the pressure emitted by this immortal. He furrowed his brows in distress and looked behind Luo Mo. Then, he said, "Did Sect Head Luo come alone?"
Luo Mo naturally did not come alone. He also led more than a hundred disciples of Sunset Cloud Valley. Therefore, Xu Han's question was not only inexplicable, but it was also inappropriate for Luo Mo to question Niu Tou.
All the swordsmen present had witnessed Xu Han's words, but they never expected that even when facing an immortal, Xu Han would still be like this. On this point, even if everyone was unwilling to admit it, they had no choice but to feel ashamed of their inferiority.
"Looks like Young Master Xu is not going to give me another explanation?" Luo Mo also frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xu Han smiled faintly. Then, his eyes narrowed as he stared at Luo Mo and said, "It depends on what kind of explanation Sect Head Luo wants."
Luo Mo understood Xu Han's implied meaning, and his eyes narrowed at that time. His cold face was covered in frost, but his mouth said, "Tell me."
Xu Han nodded and smiled calmly, "Since Headmaster Luo wants to hear it, I will tell you about it."
Then he paced up to Luo Mo and whispered, "Killing people comes from both personal grievances and personal interests."
'"Although I know my brother from the Luo Sect, I have little communication with him, and I have no selfish relationship with him. As for the so-called private grievances, I naturally have no way to talk about them. As for the benefits, I am in a situation where everyone can see that killing him is not beneficial to me at all. Of course, the Luo Sect is not well-planned. Could it be that I am framing him?"
"Then these two, That brother Huang Yu from your sect, "I clearly saw Elder Luo fifteen minutes before Elder Luo's death, but Xu Han was not in the courtyard at all. Of course, Headmaster Luo can naturally blame my good friend in my mansion for this. However, if Headmaster Luo really wants to find out the cause of Brother Luo's death, go to the street corner that I passed by and ask him about it, you will naturally know the truth."
"Third, the cause of death of elder Luo is the most poisonous thing in the world, Mo Luo blood. In Great Xia, only Changchun Valley, which was proficient in poison dao, could refine this item, and the process was complicated. Sect Leader Luo only assumed that I was colluding with that disciple of Changchun Valley, Bai Xu, to use this medicine to kill Elder Luo, and then kill Bai Xu after the matter was revealed. However, had the Luo Clan ever wondered why a poison like the Mo Luo Blood, which required a large amount of material and financial resources, would appear in Bai Xu's hands? "Has he gone to Changchun Valley to investigate how Bai Xu brought this thing out, but Changchun Valley did not notice it?"
Xu Han's three questions could be said to be deafening. The faces of those who were unclear changed, and some of the thoughts in their hearts relaxed. However, those who could truly understand them all revealed sneers on their faces.
No matter how much Xu Han said, no matter how reasonable he was, it was useless.
Because some things are destined from the beginning to have no answer, or some people will only believe that the answer in his favor.
For example, Luo Mo in front of him raised his eyebrows when he heard Xu Han's words and asked in a deep voice, "You've said so much, but which one of them can you produce enough evidence to prove your innocence?"
"Evidence?" Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Xu Han's face. "I really don't have enough evidence to prove it to Sect Leader Luo."
Xu Han said this, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or not. He bit the accent on the word "evidence".
Luo Mo heard what he meant, and a cold frost immediately gushed out of his eyes.
But before Luo Mo could respond, Xu Han's voice sounded again.
The youth in the golden robe straightened up and looked at Luo Mo with a smile on his face.
"But I have proof to prove it to the people of the world!"
