Chapter 75 – If you want to condemn somebody, don’t worry about the pretext

(Mystique- The name of this chapter is actually an idiom from Zuozhuan. ‘Give a dog a bad name, then hang him’ You can check wikipedia to learn about Zhuzhuan.)

Long Yu and Elder Yu were in a critical situation, but the strongest disciple of Zhentian Sect, Bu Xing, appeared at the scene and cast out his sky hawk Zhenling to rescue them from danger!

However, even the sky hawk coupled with the suppression of world influence, couldn’t break the knife-light of the opposite party. This showed that the martial skill of the opposite party was extremely high!

“It’s Bu Xing! Let’s back down for now!”

A loud shout came from the side of the bamboo grove, and suddenly, three shadows reappeared nearby Long Yu from three different directions and fled away.

“You prevented our actions this time but this is not over yet! That tiny old Elder Yu of yours won’t escape death next time.”

“Young Yu, you take care of Elder Yu, I will pursue them!”

Bu Xing quickly said to Long Yu and without taking enough time, he swiftly moved his steps and immediately displayed ‘close horizon’. In a flash, his stature began to pursue the guy whose cultivation was above Zhenling realm!

Long Yu heard his words, and immediately grasped his Qian Dragon Spear and swiftly walked into the almost collapsed bamboo room, and quickly arrived nearby Elder Yu.

Although, he received a strong concussion from the attack of Zhenling realm knife-light, but because he had practiced Demon tyrant form, the injury caused by the knife-light was not very serious. Just by controlling his breathing training, he should be all right.

Now, however, he certainly did not have time for breathing practice.

“Elder Yu.”

Long Yu entered the collapsed bamboo room and found Elder Yu lying on the bed, still in comatose state. He put him on his back and came out of the collapsed bamboo room.

But this scene was seen by several people not very far from the place!

“Who dares to lay hands on my teacher!”

A wild shout fell into Long Yu’s ears, followed by trotting sounds of several figures rushing towards him, and soon, they surrounded him!

Long Yu looked up and saw that these people were disciples of Zhentian Sect, each having ugly expression on his face. They had actually trapped him in the middle.

One tall and sturdy youth with ugly complexion, who had just now shouted, was actually the disciple of Elder Yu, called Lu Guanming.

Altogether five people were there, and when they heard the loud sound, they quickly rushed over and finally saw that Long Yu was coming out of the collapsed bamboo room carrying Elder Yu on his back!

Subconsciously, they thought it was Long Yu who destroyed the bamboo room and now wanted to hurt Elder Yu!

“He is Long Yu, I’ve seen him before in the blood feud field.”

One of them pointed at Long Yu and said.

“Long Yu!”

The remaining four suddenly began to tremble with fear, but Elder Yu’s disciple, Lu Guan Ming, soon shouted loudly: “So you are Long Yu, you traitor, my teacher protected you when you were injured, and you are trying to bite the hands that fed you. You actually intend to hurt my teacher, you are simply worse than filthy beasts!”

“Fellow apprentice, don’t be impulsive.”

Long Yu said in a serious tone while keeping his guard on against the opposite party: “Actually, I wanted to see Elder Yu, but I came to the bamboo room, just to see that he three killers from Knife Cut Sect wanted to assassinate Elder Yu. This bamboo room was actually collapsed by the attack from the killer of Knife Cut Sect!”

“Nonsense!”

One youth, whose eyes were shining with doubt and sarcasm, pointed out loudly: “Killer from Knife Cut Sect? You tell me, where is this killer from Knife Cut Sect?”

“Brother Bu Xing arrived promptly, he is already chasing them away.”

Long Yu said lightly.

“Brother Bu Xing?”

All of the five people heard it, and gawked, but immediately responded.

Bu Xing!

Did Bu Xing really arrive?

However, at this time, there was nothing present to validate Long Yu’s verbal statement so these five people would naturally not believe him!

“We must not listen to his nonsense, we cannot allow him to escape.”

Another man said and even took out his battle weapon, a long sword, while covetously eyeing Long Yu!

“Long Yu, put down my teacher!”

Hot tempered Lu Guanming, holding a big iron hammer battle weapon in his hand and staring at Long Yu with hatred, shouted loudly: “If anything wrong happens to my teacher, I will go all out today, I will make you pay the price for it!”

Lu Guan Ming was only a 35th ranked core disciple and was just a Wudao eighth layer master.

Even after joining forces together, they were not necessarily the opponents of Long Yu, and all five people actually knew this fact.

After all, Long Yu defeated Huayi Lun, the 6th ranked core disciple, and this news had already spread throughout Zhentian Sect.

Sure enough, it was granted that they would be unable to defeat him, but at any cost, they wouldn’t allow Long Yu to leave the place!

“Believe it or not, this is the fact!”

Long Yu calmly looked all around and said in a self-poised manner: “We only need to wait here, once the fellow apprentice Bu Xing comes back, then the truth will be revealed to all.”

Hand over the unconscious Elder Yu to them and escape alone from this place, Long Yu would never do such foolish things.

Although, he could see that Lu Guanming was really worried about the safety of Elder Yu, but regarding the intentions of the other four people, Long Yu was actually still quite skeptical.

So, under such circumstances, if he surrendered Elder Yu to them then they could find an excuse to attack him!

If anything wrong happened to Elder Yu then it would be difficult for him to prove his innocence!

Therefore, Long Yu decided just to protect Elder Yu and wait for the return of Bu Xing!

Now, there were many disciples of Zhentian Sect in the field, so the killers from Knife Cut Sect would naturally not appear again, so Long Yu must guard against sudden attacks from the people of his own sect.

This whole thing seemed somewhat ridiculous, but Long Yu knew well that in this case, he could only depend on him because it was indeed impossible to make Lu Guanming to believe the fact.

“What’s going on here?”

Suddenly, a severe castigation passed from the bamboo grove entrance!

Lu Guanming and other four people looked towards the place from where the sound passed over to them and saw a short black faced man with sturdy arms, it was actually the core disciples reward issuer, Elder Wu Jianxin!

Although, Wu Jianxin was stout but he looked quite short, just like a black coal briquette!

He came from the bamboo grove edge, with his eyes flashing a stern countenance and looked towards Long Yu.

When Wu Jianxin saw Long Yu carrying Elder Yu on his back, his eyes flashed fiercely, then immediately returned to normal, as if nothing had actually happened!

However, that fierce touch, which flashed for a moment in his eyes, was instantly captured by the keen observation of Long Yu!

“This Wu Jianxin, in the end, what motive does he have?”

Long Yu thought and instantaneously knew that Wu Jianxin had certainly planned something secretly!

But, at this time, Long Yu couldn’t say anything, after all, he knew that there was no evidence to support it, so he actually didn’t know what exactly Wu Jianxing’s plan was!

Wu Jianxin walked step by step and released repression of world influence that instantly enveloped all the people in the surrounding.

Long Yu, carrying Elder Yu on his back, obviously felt that Wu Jianxing’s release of repression of world influence was actually aimed at him!

Elder Wu Jianxin was a Zhenling realm master, so the effect of the coercion of world influence was indeed intense!

There were two other elders that followed behind Wu Jianxin, but Long Yu didn’t know these two elders. He only saw them once when he went to the Elder pavilion for the first time.

Three elders arrived at the scene and Wu Jianxin released the world influence, which completely put Long Yu under its heavy suppression!

Now Long Yu couldn’t move, and at that time, his face was covered in beads of sweat. He could only clench his teeth to get support in order to stabilize his back on which he was carrying Elder Yu!

“Long Yu, you are a disciple of Zhentian Sect and actually want to harm your sect elder, this crime is enough for you to die ten thousand times!”

Wu Jianxin said in a cold voice, and at that time, he stood at a distance of 100 feet from Long Yu.

“To be combined with sin…………. It’s easy to find a pretext, isn’t it?”

Long Yu clenched his teeth while resisting the heavy repression of the world influence of Wu Jianxing, he stubbornly raised his head and said with difficulty: “I just intercepted the killer from Knife Cut Sect, and regarding Elder Yu’s protection matter, wait for Brother Bu to come back, you will then understand!”

“How dare to talk back in front of me you fool!”

Wu Jianxin shouted loudly: “If you confess your crime, you can be treated leniently, and after destroying your cultivation, you will be allowed to leave Zhentian Sect, but if you refuse to admit it then I, Wu Jianxing, as the Elder of Zhentian Sect, can only kill you right now just to set an example to warn others!”

“Ha ha…….. ha ha!”

Long Yu laughed with difficulty: “If you don’t want to wait for fellow apprentice Bu Xing, then you will only have a guilty conscience later!”

“I am an elder, do you think I need you to teach me what to do?”

Wu Jianxin snorted coldly and took a step forward which made Long Yu to bear a stronger coercion of world influence.

As a result, now, Long Yu couldn’t even speak up!

As the sound of footsteps transmitted from the bamboo grove, more and more disciples Of Zhentian Sect came from the bamboo grove and their number reached over a hundred people in no time!

Among these, Yi Yan’s attendant, who ran away from the Sect valley after being scared of Long Yu, also came leading a group of people.

“We can see that Long Yu wants to hurt Elder Yu, he is shameless!”

Liu Shucheng pointed at Long Yu, his words were full of disdain and contempt for Long Yu, as if he was trying to bluff and bluster to ruin him!

After listening to the words of Liu Shucheng, dozens of other disciples also raised their fingers at Long Yu, and started talking, and apparently accused Long Yu of turning out to be such a despicable and ungrateful person!

It is always easy to mislead mass with rumors, and especially at this time, the people saw Long Yu carrying Elder Yu on his back before a collapsed bamboo room and were convinced that Long Yu actually wanted to hurt Elder Yu!

“Now, I, Wu Jianxin, must exercise my power as the elder to put Long Yu to death for treason and heresy.”

Wu Jianxin took one more step and looked around and loudly asked: “Does anyone has opinions, stand up!”

“Put him to death, put him to death!”

All the disciples of Zhentian Sect present on the scene started shouting while they were looking at Long Yu with contempt.

Ungrateful, outrageous, how he could do such a thing, not a single man was there to support Long Yu!

“Such being the case, I will now begin!”

Wu Jianxin snorted, looked at Long Yu and gradually moved towards him!

With each step of Wu Jianxin, Long Yu felt that world influence’s pressure was getting more and more stronger, and while facing a Zhenling mystical elder, he simply didn’t have any ability to resist.

“Bu Xing, there is no sign of him coming back, I must plan something for the time being………”

Long Yu’s heart began to beat, even his Dantian also began to beat up strongly and Xuan qi began to flow into his body meridians.

His suppressed stature could now move under the powerful beats of his Dantian, coupled with the flow of Xuan qi into his body meridians!

“I can finally move about, I cannot miss the opportunity!”

Long Yu thought in his heart and fiercely grasped Qian Dragon Spear in his hand!

Poof!

He punctured the ‘Nine Hidden Dragon Mark’ on his chest with the spear, and the blood began to flow out, but strangely, the color of his blood was deep black just like the color of the mark.
