Chapter 13929 Unreasonable

What was even more shocking was that this blow not only took Ye Chen’s life, but also completely killed his soul.

From this moment on, Ye Chen disappeared completely as if he had never existed in this world.

Only a headless corpse was left slowly falling down, blood spreading on the ground, emitting a pungent smell of blood.

The red-robed chief priest stood not far away, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent, like an ice blade in the cold night, staring at Ling Xiao intently.

His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his body was shaking slightly. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

He said sternly: “Do you really think that after committing such a heinous crime, no one in this world can punish you?
You openly killed the commander of the demon-suppressing envoys. This is a blatant provocation to the Holy Hall and a trampling on the entire martial arts order!"

Ling Xiao looked indifferent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

He turned a deaf ear to the red-robed priest's threats, as if the angry roar was just an insignificant breeze.

He slowly turned his gaze to Bai Qiuchi, with a look of unquestionable firmness in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Sword King, now, can we talk about reason?"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was stunned, and expressions of extreme surprise appeared on their faces.

They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

The man who had just killed his enemy with ruthless means was now trying to reason. This scene was too absurd, like a fairy tale.

Someone couldn't help but whispered, "Is Ling Xiao crazy? He wants to reason after killing someone?"

The red-robed chief priest laughed in anger, and that laughter was full of mockery and anger, as if it was the devil's laughter coming from hell.

The aura around him surged wildly, rolling like a raging tide.

Red light emanated from him, enveloping his body like a burning flame.

"Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao! Do you think that everyone here is ignorant and stupid?

You killed someone, and you still want to talk about reason here, it's just wishful thinking!"

As he said this, he was about to take action. He pushed the ground hard with his feet and rushed towards Ling Xiao like an arrow.

The aura around him surged, and the powerful pressure surged towards Ling Xiao like a substance. Wherever it passed, the air was squeezed and made bursts of explosive sounds.

At this critical moment, Bai Qiuchi suddenly said, "Wait a minute, let him finish his words!"

His voice was not loud, but it echoed in the hall like a huge bell, carrying an irresistible majesty.

He flashed and instantly stood between the red-robed chief priest and Ling Xiao. The long sword in his hand was slightly unsheathed, emitting a sharp sword energy, as if warning everyone not to act rashly.

The red-robed chief priest was blocked by Bai Qiuchi and his body stopped abruptly.

He looked at Bai Qiuchi with resentment on his face and said angrily: "Sword King, what do you mean? Are you going to protect this murderer?"

Bai Qiuchi looked solemn. He looked at the red-robed priest and said slowly:
“There must be something hidden in this matter. Since Ling Xiao wants to talk about reason, we might as well listen to him.

If he is really guilty, it won't be too late for us to take action. But if we kill him without knowing right from wrong, wouldn't it make people all over the world laugh at your church for not being able to distinguish right from wrong?"

As the red-robed chief priest, he holds a high position in the temple and is respected on a daily basis.

If he fought with Ling Xiao at this moment, even if he could win with his profound cultivation and superb martial arts, it would only damage his reputation if the news got out.

Others would certainly say that he was bullying the weak and that his victory was unfair.

But if he didn't take action, he couldn't swallow this anger. Looking at Ling Xiao's righteous look, the anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, and it could explode at any time.

Moreover, this is undoubtedly a favorable situation for Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao can take the opportunity to defend himself and get rid of the false accusation.

After thinking for a moment, the red-robed chief priest clenched his teeth, his cheeks slightly puffed up, and glanced at Ling Xiao coldly, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness, but in the end he stopped talking, just put his hands behind his back, his body trembling slightly, to vent his anger in his heart.

Seeing that the red-robed chief priest was no longer pestering him, Bai Qiuchi turned his gaze to Ling Xiao. His eyes were deep and calm, as if he could see through everything.

He said in a deep voice: "You want to reason, don't you? Then start! Explain the whole story clearly, and the public will judge right and wrong."

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, as if he wanted to let out all the grievances and anger in his heart with this breath.

He looked at Bai Qiuchi firmly and asked, "Sword King, I came back from the Demon Sea. I slept in the open air and went through countless hardships and dangers along the way, just to tell you the actual situation of the Demon Sea. Is there anything false in what I said? Every sentence, every word, is what I experienced and saw with my own eyes."

Bai Qiuchi nodded slightly, a hint of recognition in his eyes.

He had some understanding of Ling Xiao's character and knew that Ling Xiao was not the kind of person who spoke without thinking.

Ling Xiao felt a little relieved when he saw Bai Qiuchi nod, and then said:

"But Ye Chen and his gang all scoffed at my words. They relied on their high positions and power to not take me seriously at all, insisting that the Demon Sea was bluffing and deliberately exaggerating to scare us.

They didn't consider the actual situation at all, and were unwilling to believe my words. I didn't care about my life and death, and went deep into the Demon Sea to get information. In that dangerous place, I was always facing the threat of death.

Every battle with demons was a life-and-death battle. I survived a life-and-death struggle to get this information, but in the end, all I got was their suspicion. They slandered me without any basis for colluding with the demon sea and wanted to kill me.

If I really colluded with the Demon Sea, why would I risk coming back? I can just hide in the Demon Sea and enjoy wealth and glory. Why should I return to this temple and suffer their injustice and suspicion? "

At this point, Ling Xiao became more and more excited. He raised his voice a few notches, looked directly at the red-robed priest, and spoke sharply:
"Red Robe Priest, I said earlier that the Demon Sea was very powerful and reminded everyone to be fully prepared, but you accused me of disrupting the morale of the army and deliberately creating panic to shake everyone's confidence.
If I say that the Demon Sea is vulnerable, will you accuse me of deliberately paralyzing you and having ulterior motives? No matter what I say, you can find an excuse to blame me. Is this what you call justice? "

The red-robed chief priest had a gloomy face, as if water could drip out of it. His eyes were like stars in the cold night, cold and sharp. He stared at Ling Xiao closely, and his tone was as cold as the cold wind in the cold winter: "What we need to find out now is why the Demon Sea let you go? There must be a secret that cannot be revealed. Don't even think about getting away with it!"
