Chapter 553 Sanctimonious Master
Chapter 553 Sanctimonious Master
"Which witnesses?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the Qingfeng Sect exploded.
Especially Qi Gu, who usually would quarrel with Cang Ming when he saw her, but now he was the most anxious when he saw someone framed him like this for no reason.
"You said it was him? Even if Cang Ming really went to Lixiang Garden, it can't prove that the death of Taoist Lin Su was related to him!"
"Now even the human evidence is doubtful. What is the physical evidence you just mentioned? Where is the physical evidence? You should show it to us!!!"
Qi Gu stood in front of those people, looking majestic and high-spirited, as if he was protecting a calf.
This time, the Yueyang Sect only came to Lin Su, a high-ranking elder. The others were all disciples. If something happened, there was no one who could make up their mind. Seeing this scene, they immediately exploded.
"What do you mean there is no physical evidence? The sword wound on my uncle's chest is the physical evidence!!!"
The great disciple of the Yueyang Sect pointed at Cang Ming, his eyes fell on the Qingshuang Sword on his waist, and his tone was harsh.
"Do you dare to compare it with your sword! Cang Ming, right? Do you dare to swear to God that you didn't have a conflict with my uncle in Lixiang Garden tonight!!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes moved to Cang Ming. Ning Yan looked sideways slightly, and his eyes fell on Cang Ming's overly calm face, with a little doubt in his eyes.
Cang Ming didn't care about other people's reactions. At this moment, what he was thinking about was how to convince his master that these things were not his fault.
"Master, Lin Su's death has nothing to do with me."
The young man slowly raised his head, his face was calm and indifferent, but his eyes showed a little hesitation and uneasiness.
Seeing that Ning Yan did not answer, he looked at her again in an almost pleading tone and replied: "Master, this matter really has nothing to do with me. Lin Su was not killed by me."
"Who do you think you dare to call my uncle by his first name!"
Cang Ming was explaining to Ning Yan, but the disciples of the Yueyang Sect on the side couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly interrupted.
"It seems that Daojun Hanshan doesn't know the good things his apprentice has done! Is it possible that the Qingfeng Sect, which is number one in the world, also engages in the practice of bending the law for personal gain?! How can there be any justice in heaven!!"
This disciple had to raise his voice every time he said a word, and his voice was so loud that everyone present was buzzing in their ears, but it was also effective.
His words aroused deep resonance among everyone present. Almost in the next second, the voices of discussion broke out in the hall. All kinds of questions emerged one after another. Some people even rushed up to drag Cang Ming into a confrontation.
"What do you want to do?"
Ning Yan quickly stretched out her hand to separate the person who was trying to pull Cang Ming away, with an ugly expression on her face, "The matter has not been decided yet. It is just speculation now. Why do you directly accuse Cang Ming?"
"Master..."
There was a look of grievance in the young man's eyes, which hinted at a bit of surprise that he had been saved. He felt happy because his master trusted him.
He didn't kill the person, and even if these people wanted to frame him, he didn't care at all.
What he cared about was what she would think.
Ning Yan hated his calmness at the moment. Even though she knew that this matter was not caused by Cang Ming, he was so silent and pretending to be pitiful. It was really too much.
The disciples of the Yueyang Sect have long since lost their patience: "I didn't expect Taoist Lord Hanshan to be so indifferent to right from wrong. It seems that you are determined not to hand him over to us tonight?"
"Why are you so anxious? You keep saying that it was Cang Ming who did it, but none of the evidence you bring out is proof. You are really perfunctory about your uncle's death."
Ning Yan had a sarcastic look on her face. She had always had a reputation in the world of immortal cultivation as someone who was not easy to mess with. Those disciples of the Yueyang Sect could not defeat her, but they were unwilling to give in. They could only grit their teeth and continue to criticize and insult her loudly.
"Cang Ming, let me ask you, is it true that the man just wanted you?"
Sensing Ning Yan's questioning gaze, Cang Ming nodded first, then slowly shook his head.
"Yes, I went to Lixiangyuan, and I also met Senior Lin. As the little brother said, we did have a dispute. But when I left, everyone saw that Senior Lin was sitting upright. He also set up the barrier in the house, and I didn't go back."
The disciples of the Yueyang Sect sneered, "You said you didn't go back when you didn't go back? After all, you are also a cultivator of immortals. I'm afraid it's not difficult to return quietly without letting others know, right?"
"If you insist on blaming Senior Lin's death on me, I have nothing to say."
Cang Ming's eyes were cold, and when he turned to look at Ning Yan, he felt particularly aggrieved, "Master, you believe me..."
The disciples of the Qingfeng Sect around him were shouting angrily, with red eyes and excitement, obviously unable to listen to anything.
Jiuguang took advantage of the chaos in the crowd and secretly sent a letter to Qingfeng Sect. The rest of the people were paying attention to Cang Ming, but no one noticed him at the moment.
"Where is Lin Su's body?"
Ning Yan's brain was buzzing and hurting from the noise, so she immediately stopped the never-ending entanglement between the two parties and decided to take the initiative.
"You now suspect that Cang Ming only appeared in Lixiangyuan, but none of you can have clear evidence that Lin Su was killed by him. In this case, we might as well go to the crime scene and take a look, maybe we can find clues."
"Okay, just go! Speaking of which, I really discovered something, please Hanshan Daojun, please don't be so indifferent to right from wrong again!"
The other party gritted his teeth and immediately led everyone to the Lixiangyuan.
Lixiangyuan's business was originally very good tonight, but since Lin Su was found dead in the room just now, all the customers were so frightened that they ran away.
The landlady was either closing it or not closing it at the moment. She was trembling as she looked at the door of the room where Lin Su died tragically, muttering to herself.
Previously, Yueyang sent several disciples over and found that the Lixiang Courtyard was almost demolished when Lin Su died. They said they were afraid of destroying the traces left by the murderer and did not move the body away. Now in the room, Lin Su is still there. Banban was lying squarely on the ground.
When Ning Yan and his party came over, the landlady and a group of girls were huddled downstairs. When she saw Cang Ming following Ning Yan at the first sight, the landlady couldn't help but point her finger at him, getting emotional.
"It's you! You came to my shop tonight to find Mr. Lin. At that time, you were called a fierce spirit. I asked you if you were here to seek revenge. You told me no. It's fine now. Someone died in my Lixiangyuan. It definitely has something to do with you!"
Ning Yan paused and turned her head to look at Cang Ming.
"You came to Lixiangyuan specifically to find Lin Su?"
Cang Ming's lips trembled slightly, "Yes..."
"You all heard it! You said you didn't do it! You came here specifically to find my uncle, what else is there to explain!"
Before the two of them could finish speaking, the Yueyang Sect disciple standing on one side exploded again.
Even the people around him echoed, looking at Cang Ming with deep disgust and shame.
