Cangmu immediately said to everyone: "Come and take this thief down for me!"
Liu Qian didn’t expect things to turn out like this, but after all, he didn’t see what happened just now. Therefore, even Liu Qian didn’t know what exactly happened in the Treasure Pavilion earlier with Lin Feng.
However, Liu Qian chose to believe in Lin Feng. He hurriedly stood out and said to Cangmu and everyone: "The Discipline Hall Elder was called by me; his death also implicates me. Although I don’t know what happened just now, I believe Brother Lin is innocent."
He and Lin Feng were originally investigating Liu Yun, but now Liu Yun is dead with no chance to testify. And the Discipline Hall Elder was cut down by the Sky-cutting Sword, and the one holding the Sky-cutting Sword was exactly Lin Feng. freewebnovel.cσ๓
If it were to be said that the person wasn’t killed by Lin Feng, no one would believe it. But Liu Qian felt there was definitely something fishy; if Lin Feng were really the killer, how could he have returned to Taoxuan Heavenly Sect? It makes no sense...
Cangmu didn’t act rashly either. Hearing Liu Qian say Lin Feng was innocent, he immediately asked back: "You say he is innocent, do you have evidence? The Discipline Hall Elder died right in front of us, and his soul has already dissipated, with Sky-cutting Sword marks attached above. With such ironclad proof, how can you explain!"
Facing such rock-solid evidence, and since he couldn’t guarantee that things were as he thought before, Liu Qian was momentarily lost, not knowing how to answer. At this moment, Lin Feng, indeed holding the "Sky-cutting Sword," didn’t even say he didn’t kill the person. This plunged Liu Qian into confusion.
Lin Feng didn’t evade, facing Cangmu’s questioning, he said to everyone: "Your Sect Leader Liu Yun was indeed killed by me, but I just sealed his meridians, and didn’t kill him. I don’t know why his vitality reversed and suddenly withered."
Some people on the side immediately retorted: "There were only the three of you here, now two are dead. You’re holding the Sky-cutting Sword; if you didn’t kill the person, then who did!"
These people had run into Lin Feng as soon as he stepped out and were skeptical about how others could believe that Lin Feng wasn’t the real culprit.
At this point, Lin Feng suddenly thought about whether all of this was the handiwork of the masked woman. Aside from Liu Yun, it was just her and himself earlier, seemingly she is the real murderer of Liu Yun’s death.
But now, everyone has already left, so there’s no evidence. Besides, the masked woman disappeared silently without leaving any trace.
At that time, no one else took action to kill. If anyone else was present, they would only see Lin Feng being the killer. The deadliest knife in the world isn’t one that kills, but one that uses a borrowed knife to kill while putting the blame on another.
So, whether Lin Feng liked it or not, he had to admit to Liu Yun’s death.
While Lin Feng was silent, something unexpected happened, putting him in an irreversible situation.
An elder stepped out, recognizing Lin Feng. It turned out that this elder was one of the Six Great Sects’ people brought back from Peace City; now recovered from his injuries, he had come with Cangmu.
The elder said: "You are from the Court," revealing Lin Feng’s identity, claiming to have seen him in Peace City.
Without saying anything else, he pointed out Lin Feng was a Court official. Everyone present was shocked. The reason the Six Great Sects reached this point was due to the Court’s actions. The Taoxuan Heavenly Sect’s current situation is also the Court’s doing. Now, Lin Feng killed the Discipline Hall Elder and the new Sect Leader Liu Yun for the Soul Device. Originally, Liu Yun had a very high reputation among the young disciples; now killed by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng being a Court man, Lin Feng couldn’t wash this off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Many began to doubt whether Lin Feng planned from the start, pretending to help the Six Great Sects revive, but in reality, wanted to become the Alliance Hierarch and obtain the five Soul Devices after that. It was just that, due to some reasons, he had to prematurely snatch the Soul Device, leading to the current bloodshed at the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect.
Now Liu Yun is dead and can’t testify to anything.
Lin Feng today killed two people, one was an Elder of the Discipline Hall, the other was the last talented young generation of the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect who had just become Sect Leader. Lin Feng had to admit to this whether he wanted to or not.
Soon, inside the great hall, several dozen sword lights waved, and Lin Feng, carrying the ’Sky-cutting Sword’ barely fled the scene. He reached a spacious area, intending to escape, but unexpectedly, Cangmu directly pursued him. Cangmu was originally a Nine Spirit Joints master, whose strength was on par with Lin Feng. Had it not been for Lin Feng’s possession of the Sky-cutting Sword at the time, he would have perished amidst the siege.
In the battle with Lin Feng, Cangmu also exerted his full strength, while Lin Feng only resisted without retaliating. Unexpectedly, Cangmu used Taoxuan Heavenly Sect’s ultimate move, the "Sky Blue Divine Palm," which, within an instant, carried infinite might of the heavens and swept Lin Feng into a ravine with a single palm when he least expected it. frёeωebɳovel.com
At this time in the dark, a black shadow happened to witness the scene, then smiled contentedly and turned into a stream of dark shadow light, speeding towards the spot where Lin Feng fell.
It turns out this shadow was the masked woman. The reason why the Discipline Hall elder was killed earlier was that she had told Liu Yun that the "Sky-cutting Sword" could easily kill the Discipline Hall Elder. While Liu Yun used the Sky-cutting Sword to slash the Discipline Hall Elder, she had secretly acted against Liu Yun. As long as Lin Feng acted to seal Liu Yun’s blood veins, it would make his vital flow reverse, instantly lose vitality; Liu Yun - this way, Lin Feng would have no evidence to prove his innocence. And naturally, those arriving here would think Lin Feng had killed the people.
This plan came to her as the Discipline Hall Elder rushed in. She realized that the person was called by the man before, and if he had called one, he surely wouldn’t be alone. With this in mind, she knew she couldn’t escape if others arrived, and Lin Feng, who was hiding behind, overheard her conversation with Liu Yun. As long as Lin Feng stepped out and accused her publicly, it wouldn’t just be Liu Yun who wouldn’t escape punishment, but she might also have a hard time avoiding blame.
So she directly let Liu Yun and the old man from the Discipline Hall die, then blamed Lin Feng for the outcome. Once the Discipline Hall Elder was dead, no one could stop her escape. Because Lin Feng had to regain the Soul Device "Sky-cutting Sword," he would certainly not chase her immediately. Thus, she could leave the Treasure Pavilion before Lin Feng and hoped the other members from Taoxuan Heavenly Sect would directly arrive. Cangmu and the others didn’t disappoint her, confronting Lin Feng with the "Sky-cutting Sword" at the Treasure Pavilion’s entrance, leaving Lin Feng defenseless with all eyes watching.
First, the Discipline Hall Elder, who exposed Liu Yun’s conspiracy, was killed by the Sky-cutting Sword. Then, the Sect Leader Liu Yun wielding the Sky-cutting Sword was sealed by Lin Feng, causing reverse blood flow and death. With no evidence to prove his innocence, Lin Feng had to take responsibility for these two lives.
Such a perfect borrowed knife scheme without dirtying her own hands played the three masters in the palm of her hand, leaving Lin Feng, with his meticulous mind, bearing the guilt of killing Taoxuan Heavenly Sect’s Sect Leader and Elder. This kind of quick-witted plan surpassed Su Liqian’s capability; if the masked woman really was Su Liqian, then what has she experienced?
When Lin Feng received a heavy injury and fell unconscious as he plummeted from the cliff, his mind wandered to this question, making him feel puzzled.
While everyone believed Lin Feng would fall to his death from the cliff, a dark stream managed to catch him successfully. Except for the one who caught him, no one knew Lin Feng was actually alive and was saved by a woman in black clothes.
Seeing Cangmu knock Lin Feng down the cliff, Liu Qian arrived too, gazing at the edge of the cliff in fear.
Knowing Lin Feng was from the Court, Liu Qian also didn’t know whom to believe anymore. The truth of the matter was already beyond reach, and with three dead, how could the so-called truth be investigated further.
