Tao Yao didn't take a closer look at Master Cen's expression at this moment. She had already moved her eyes away before Master Cen could answer her. She raised the corners of her lips again and said lightly with a smile: "Master, how dare Xu Xiuyuan bring so many
If someone comes to force Kunlun, it means that he has full confidence in proving that I am a monster.
Even if I’m not a demon, since Xu Xiuyuan is here, and he’s here with such great fanfare, he has the ability to make me into a demon, not to mention, I am originally——”
"Young fellow Taoist!" Master Cen suddenly spoke, abruptly interrupting Tao Yao's unfinished words, "What kind of ending will a story have? If you don't see it until the end, how can you be sure?
Why don't you wait and see whether you will be proven to be a demon, and if you are proven to be a demon, whether I will still stand by your side?"
"..." What does this mean?
Tao Yao turned her head to look at Master Cen. However, the smile on Master Cen's face was just like the one she had seen in the past many years. He was cheerful and heartless.
What the hell is this old guy playing at?!
Millions of cultivators shouted "kill" for a long time. She did not tremble in fear, but the thirty thousand Kunlun immortals standing behind the senior brother began to panic.
When Xu Xiuyuan raised her sleeves and stopped the noise, she heard someone behind her muttering: "Do you think Senior Sister Tao is really a demon?"
"It's impossible. If she is a demon, can the immortal Jing Shang know it?"
"That's true...but if not, then are all these people crazy?"
Questions that cannot be answered cause silence to spread horribly.
At this time, Lu Li spoke, and his voice was very loud. Not only could the thirty thousand Kunlun immortals standing on this side hear him clearly, but it could even be heard by the millions of cultivators standing on the other side.
Be clear.
He said: "Is Senior Sister Tao a human or a demon? Are you willing to believe the words of strangers who have barely met or spoken to Senior Sister Tao, and do you not believe the truth that I have lived with you in Kunlun for many years?"
At this point, his voice became calmer and more determined: "As a junior brother, I know very well that Senior Sister Tao is not a demon, she is a human being, and she is an excellent, excellent person!"
Tao Yao covered her sleeves and smiled.
Lu Li is really a good boy, he just makes mistakes occasionally.
He said this, of course, because he wanted to protect her, but she is a monster and not a human being. His protection and trust at this moment will eventually become a sharp blade that kills him, making him unable to hold his head up for a long time.
.
But facing Lu Li who was so sincere and almost stupid, what could she say?
Mr. Cen chuckled, unable to hide his happiness: "My little fellow Taoist, it's true that you treat Lu Li well. He will still protect you at the critical moment."
Taoyao's answer was a deep sigh that was held in her mouth and could not be spit out.
Lu Li's words were heard by Xu Xiuyuan. Not only did they not make him angry, but they made the smile on his lips and teeth become unpredictable: "Junior Brother Lu, do you really believe that Tao Yao is a human being?"
Lu Li said without hesitation, "Yes!"
"Then do you dare to go to the front and listen to the statements of the two Tao brothers?"
"Why don't you dare?!" Lu Li made a leap and jumped directly in front of the person. His brows were sharp and calm, "Elder Xu, you are a senior member of a highly respected family in the world, and your cultivation level is much higher than mine, but if
If you dare to slander my Senior Sister Tao, Lu Li will be the first to refuse!"
"Well said!" Senior Brother angrily praised, "This is what fellow Kunlun disciples should say!"
At this time, the second senior brother, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and grabbed the senior brother's sleeve, and said to Lu Li in a reproachful tone: "Lu Li, how do you speak?
Today, since Elder Xu can question Junior Sister in front of others, it also shows that Elder Xu believes in Kunlun, otherwise, he would not have given Kunlun a chance to defend himself."
As he said that, the second senior brother raised his lips at Xu Xiuyuan: "Really, Elder Xu?"
Xu Xiuyuan gave the second senior brother a faint smile: "Senior Brother Guannan knows my heart."
The second senior brother bowed and thanked him: "Elder Xu, Lu Li didn't mean to offend, he just wanted to express his gratitude.
When Junior Sister Da came to Kunlun, the cold Kunlun became more lively, so many people in the mountain loved her very much.
This time, everyone came to Kunlun and said that the junior sister might be a demon. Neither I, Senior Brother, nor anyone else can accept this. That is why we stand across from you, and Lu Li is rude to you.
, but it’s not because Kunlun and you really have a grudge against the world.”
Xu Xiuyuan hurriedly took two steps forward and held the second senior brother's arm: "Senior brother Guannan, there is no need to be like this. When we come here, we are not planning to have a grudge with Kunlun.
The reason why I brought all the witnesses to Kunlun is because I wanted Taoyao to confront them face to face, in order to prove her and Kunlun's innocence."
The second senior brother thanked him again: "Then I will take Kunlun's place. Many thanks to Elder Xu for intervening on Kunlun's behalf."
Xu Xiuyuan smiled heartily, but the smile sounded somewhat unclear: "The human world and Kunlun are naturally in the same relationship. We should treat each other with sincerity. Brother Guannan really doesn't have to be polite. Now, the misunderstanding between Kunlun and I has been resolved.
, then should we quickly let Taoyao and the two brothers of the Tao family begin to confront each other, and resolve the misunderstanding between her and the world as soon as possible?"
The second senior brother raised his sleeves and said generously with a deep voice: "Please."
The world suddenly became silent.
This is a showdown between masters.
Xu Xiuyuan had to deal with her, and perhaps the immortal behind her, but he was not prepared to confront Kunlun, so he did not intend to make a show of face until the truth became clear.
The same goes for the second senior brother.
Whether Taoyao is a demon or not has not been proven yet. With his scheming temperament, how could he be in such a hurry to fall out with Xu Xiuyuan?
As a result, the second senior brother and Xu Xiuyuan had a confrontation that seemed harmonious, but actually each had its own agenda.
Xu Xiuyuan retreated slightly, then turned around, facing the millions of Xiu who surrounded Kunlun. He slightly tightened the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows instantly gained a hint of nobility and majesty that only those above the temple had.
"Taojia Dalang, Taojia Erlang, you told me earlier that Taoyao from Kunlun is not your sister Taoyao, but a demon in disguise?"
The two Tao brothers nodded heavily: "Yes, Kunlun's Tao Immortal Lord is definitely not our sister."
Xu Xiuyuan frowned, and his expression became even more unkind: "Dalang of the Tao family, Erlang of the Tao family, although this is not a courtroom, it is still in full view of everyone, and Taoyao is a Kunlun immortal, so there is no room for ambiguity, let alone
It is not allowed to be framed by others at all.
You say that Taoyao is not your sister Taoyao, but a great demon in disguise, so please tell me clearly and clearly, word for word, the whole story of how she came to represent Li Jong.
If there is any falsehood in what you say, don’t say that the hundred thousand cultivators in Kunlun will not spare you, the five major cultivating families in the world, and even the entire human cultivating world, will kill you!"
These words frightened the second brother of the Tao family to shrink his head, and this shrinking immediately caused a flash of anger to rise in Xu Xiuyuan's eyes. Fortunately, although the second brother of the Tao family was careless, the eldest brother of the Tao family seemed to be quite calm.
He took half a step forward, first saluted the Kunlun disciples, then bowed his hands to Xu Xiuyuan, and finally bowed to a million people. After receiving the courtesy, he began to speak: "Kunlun's immortals, seniors in the world, brothers and sisters
Hey, I am Tao Dalang from the Tao family in Jimo, and I am also the brother of the mortal Tao Yao.
More than fifty years ago, in order to go to Kunlun, my sister broke into the forbidden area of the family and stole a demon pill. The elders in the family were furious and wanted to chase her back to hold her accountable.
There is no room for error in the demon elixir, which is a well-known rule in the human world.
The Tao family has its own rules and never tolerates things that violate family rules. So when the elders wanted to arrest my sister and question her, my father and mother were worried about my sister's safety, so they sent me and my brother to protect my sister."
Taojia Dalang's clear explanation pleased Xu Xiuyuan. He nodded with satisfaction and asked in a timely manner: "Then did you catch up with her? And did you protect her?"
The Tao Family Master paused for a moment. During this pause, hesitation filled his eyes. He said, "In reply to Elder Xu, what happened that day was a bit strange."
"Oh? What's weird?"
Taojia Dalang faced millions of people again and continued his statement: "The sister who stole the demon pill ran away as fast as possible.
Fast, but we were anxious and kept chasing.
One day later, we caught up with her in a deserted forest outside Zengcheng.
Erlang and I asked her if she had stolen the forbidden demon pill, but my sister refused to admit it. Not only that, she also used her spiritual pet demon dog to get rid of us.
When we caught up with her again, she fell unconscious by a large river on the outskirts of Zengcheng."
Xu Xiuyuan asked slightly puzzled: "Master Tao, what's so strange about this? It's normal for your sister to be chased by someone in the family, and to have a fight with someone."
"Yes." Dalang of the Tao family nodded, "As Elder Xu said, it is possible for my sister to be injured or even killed. I'm not surprised by this, I feel about what happened next.
It’s strange.”
As he spoke, Da Lang of the Tao family paused and raised his voice slightly: "Shortly after we rescued the unconscious sister, the demon dog that was protecting the master almost bit her to death when we were not paying attention."
"Eh?" Xu Xiuyuan was shocked.
The Tao family man nodded and added: "The evil dog wanted to bite my sister, so we thought the evil dog had gone crazy and kicked it to death mercilessly. Looking back now, we feel that we may have wronged the evil dog."
Xu Xiuyuan pretended to sigh and said: "Everyone knows that dogs are the most loyal and protective of their owners. I'm afraid that something happened to your sister at that time that would make the demon dog go crazy."
"Elder Xu is right." Taojia Dalang sighed and actually shed tears: "It's a pity that my second brother and I are so stupid that we don't notice it at all. We only think that it is a great good thing that my sister is alive, so we don't care about anything.
There is no need to pursue it. If we could have noticed at that time, the Tao family would not have ended up like that..."
After saying that, the Tao family man covered his sleeves and cried bitterly, his cry was sad and heartbreaking.
Xu Xiuyuan took two steps sideways, raised his hand and patted Tao Dalang on the shoulder to express comfort: "Tao Dalang, my condolences."
However, Lu Li, who was standing at the front, opened his eyes angrily and shouted uncontrollably: "Absurd! Are you going to convict my senior sister just because of a demon dog that is not known to be crazy or not?!"
