The Taishan sect disciple continued, "But outside Hengyang City, a body was found with a long sword stuck in the abdomen. After identification, it was found that the sword was Linghu Chong's..."

Tianmen Taoist's expression tensed up, and he asked hurriedly, "Who is the deceased?"

The man slowly turned his gaze to Yu Canghai and said, "He was a senior brother from Uncle Yu's school. We didn't recognize him at the time. After the body was moved to Hengshan City, someone recognized him. It turned out to be Senior Brother Luo Renjie..."

When Yu Canghai heard this, he cried out "Ah!" and stood up suddenly, his face full of shock. He asked, "Is it Renjie? Where is the body?"

I only heard someone outside the door say, "Here."

Yu Canghai was a man of great wisdom. Although he had just heard the tragic news that the deceased was Luo Renjie, one of the four great disciples of the sect, he still managed to remain calm and said, "Please bring the body in, my dear nephew."

Someone outside the door answered, "Yes!" Not long after, two people came in carrying a door panel. One was a disciple of the Hengshan Sect, and the other was a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect.

Everyone looked towards the door panel, and saw a sharp sword stuck in the abdomen of the corpse on the door panel.

The sword was inserted from the dead man's lower abdomen, stabbing upward diagonally. The three-foot-long sword, with less than one foot remaining outside the body, clearly had the tip of the sword pierced into the dead man's throat. Such a brutal move from bottom to top was rare in the martial arts world.

Yu Canghai stared at the corpse and muttered to himself, "Linghu Chong, humph, Linghu Chong, you...you are so cruel." He turned his head and glanced at Yi Huawei, the hatred in his eyes was as real as substance.

The Taishan sect disciple continued, "Uncle Tianbai sent a message saying that he is still searching for the two rapists. I hope one or two of the uncles here can go and help." Ding Yi and Yu Canghai shouted at almost the same time, "I'll go!"

At this moment, a tender voice came from outside the door, calling out: "Master, I'm back!"

Master Dingyi's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted sternly, "Is it Yilin? Get in here now!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the door, wanting to see what kind of person this little nun was who was openly drinking with two notorious rapists in the restaurant.

The door curtain was slowly lifted, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. They saw a little nun walking lightly into the flower hall. Her figure was extremely graceful. Although the wide black robe covered most of her body, it was like a breeze blowing over a weeping willow, unable to hide her graceful and elegant appearance.

She looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with black hair shaved cleanly, revealing a jade-like smooth scalp. Her face was delicate and small, and her skin was white and delicate, as warm as mutton-fat jade. Her eyes were like two clear springs, clear and bright, revealing agility and innocence. Her nose was straight and her lips were like cherries, red without any makeup.

Her temperament is unique, with the tranquility and peace of a monk, and the liveliness and innocence of a young girl. She has a light figure, and seems to carry a faint ethereal charm when she walks.

When she reached Ding Yi, Yi Lin slightly bent her knees, bowed down, and called out, "Master..."

As soon as she uttered these two words, she suddenly cried out "Wow" and burst into tears.

Master Dingyi had a gloomy expression, her eyes fixed on Yilin, and she said coldly: "You did...you did a good deed? Why are you back?" There was obvious dissatisfaction and anger in her voice, and her usual majesty seemed even more stern at this moment.

Yi Lin knelt on the ground with a plop, tears pouring out like a flood. She cried, "Master, this time... this time, I almost couldn't see you again."

Yi Lin's voice was extremely charming, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, melodious and pleasant to the ear. Her two slender hands tightly grasped Ding Yi's sleeves. Her hands were so white that they were almost transparent, as if you could see the veins through her skin.

Even Yi Huawei couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Everyone present couldn't help but have the same thought in their mind: "How could such a beautiful woman become a nun?"

Yu Canghai was originally immersed in examining Luo Renjie's body. When he heard Yi Lin's voice, he just glanced at her casually and stopped looking at her. His eyes fell back on the body. He stared at the sharp sword stuck in Luo Renjie's body. He saw green silk tassels floating on the hilt. On the edge of the hilt, the five small characters "Huashan Linghu Chong" were clearly engraved. He turned his eyes and inadvertently saw the sword on Yi Huawei's waist. It was exactly the same as this sword, also with green silk tassels.

Yu Canghai turned his head abruptly, staring straight at Yi Huawei, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Look, is this the sword of your senior brother? This sword is stabbing upward at an angle, what move is this from your Huashan sword technique?"

Yi Huawei frowned slightly, his expression calm, and said in a light tone: "Uncle Yu, Huashan swordsmanship does not have this move, don't you know?"

Seeing Yi Huawei's fearless look, Yu Canghai was furious, but he was no match for this kid. If he really took action, it would only make him more embarrassed and his reputation would be ruined. He immediately suppressed his anger and thought to himself:
"In this move that killed a hero, the long sword pierced from the lower abdomen, with the tip of the sword reaching the throat. Did Linghu Chong lean over and stab from bottom to top? After killing someone, why didn't he draw out the long sword and deliberately leave evidence? Did he intend to provoke the Qingcheng Sect?"

The more Yu Canghai thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was strange, but he was unwilling to easily let go of the opportunity to blame the Huashan Sect.

Suddenly, Yi Lin said timidly: "Uncle Yu, this move of Brother Linghu is probably not the Huashan sword technique."

Although her voice was small, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the atmosphere in the flower hall.

Yu Canghai turned around suddenly, his face covered with a layer of frost, and his originally stern face looked even more sinister. His eyes were like knives, first looking at Yi Lin, then at Master Dingyi, and said, "Master, listen to what your disciple said, what did she ask this evil thief to do?"

Master Dingyi was already angry about the matter between Yilin and Linghu Chong, and hearing Yu Canghai's words, she was even more furious. Her eyes widened with anger, and she shouted, "Don't I have ears? Do I need you to remind me?" In fact, when she heard Yilin calling Linghu Chong "Brother Linghu", she had already been furious. If Yu Canghai had said this a moment later, she would have opened her mouth and loudly reprimanded Yilin. But Yu Canghai said it first, and his words were so rude. She felt that she couldn't let outsiders accuse her disciples like this, so she turned to defend Yilin and said, "She just called me that casually, so what does it matter? We are the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and the disciples of the five sects are all brothers and sisters. What's so strange about that?"

Yu Canghai was so angry at Master Dingyi's words that he was shaking all over. He laughed in anger and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay!" He knew that Master Dingyi was protecting her apprentice and the Huashan Sect's reputation. But he was not willing to give up. He was thinking about how to take advantage of this incident to make trouble and put the Huashan Sect in a more unfavorable situation.

Master Dingyi turned her head to look at Yilin, reached out and held her hand, and said: "Yilin, come with me. How did you get caught by them? Tell Master clearly." After that, she took her hand and walked out of the hall.

Everyone knew that Yi Lin was so beautiful, and it would be difficult for her to keep her innocence if she fell into the hands of Tian Boguang, a rapist. The details of what happened were naturally not convenient to reveal in front of everyone. Master Dingyi's move was obviously to take her to a deserted place and ask her in detail.

At this moment, everyone only felt a green shadow flashing in front of their eyes, and Yu Canghai's figure flashed, flashing in front of the door like a ghost, blocking the way steadily. With his hands folded across his chest, his eyes were cold, and he said:
"This matter involves two lives, so please let Master Yilin talk here."

Yu Canghai paused, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then said, "My dear nephew Chi Baicheng is from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Under the Five Sects, we are all brothers. If Linghu Chong is killed, the Taishan Sect may not mind. But my disciple Luo Renjie is not qualified to be called a brother to Linghu Chong."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and his words were like needles, pointing directly at the Huashan Sect.

Master Dingyi had a strong character. Normally, even the senior sister Dingjing and the head sister Dingxian would give her some tolerance. How could she allow Yu Canghai to block her way and even ridicule her? After hearing these words, her originally light eyebrows immediately raised up, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

Liu Zhengfeng knew that Master Dingyi had a bad temper. Seeing her eyebrows raised like this, he secretly thought that it was not good and expected that she would attack immediately. Master Dingyi and Yu Canghai were both top-notch masters in the martial arts world today. Once the two of them fought, things would be out of control. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the ground, and said sincerely: "You two are my guests who have come to my house. Please do not hurt my relationship for the sake of my small face. It is all because of my poor hospitality. Please don't blame me."

As he said this, he bowed repeatedly.

Master Dingyi laughed with a hint of disdain, and said, "Mr. Liu San's words are quite funny. I am just angry, what does it have to do with you? He won't let me go, but I will go anyway. If he doesn't block my way and wants me to stay, that's fine too."

Yu Canghai was somewhat afraid of Master Dingyi, and he was injured at the moment, so he had no chance of winning against Master Dingyi. Moreover, although Master Dingyi's sister Dingxian was easy-going, her martial arts skills were well known. Even if he defeated Master Dingyi today, her head sister Dingxian would never sit idly by. Once he offended Hengshan Sect, there would be endless troubles. At that moment, he also laughed, with a bit of helplessness in his laughter, and said: "I just hope that Master Yilin will tell everyone the truth. Who is Yu Canghai? How dare he block the path of the Master of Baiyun Temple of Hengshan Sect?" After that, he flashed and returned to his seat.

Yi Huawei looked at Yu Canghai's appearance and couldn't help but smile, saying sarcastically: "Uncle Yu is really reasonable."

As soon as these words came out, there were a few chuckles in the hall. Everyone's eyes were cast on Yu Canghai, some with a joking look, and some with gloating. Yu Canghai's face suddenly turned red, and he was angry and annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only grit his teeth secretly.

When Yi Lin heard Yi Huawei's voice, she looked at him in surprise. Yi Huawei was handsome and calm. When she met Yi Huawei's gaze, for some reason, her pretty face suddenly turned red and she turned away in embarrassment. She was secretly surprised that the old Taoist priest was so rude to his master, why did he care about a young boy? Could he be a disciple of Wudang Sect?
Master Dingyi glanced at Yi Huawei with a hint of approval in her eyes, then turned to look at Yu Canghai and said, "It's good that you know." Then, she took Yi Lin's hand and returned to her seat, asking, "What happened after we separated that day?"

She was afraid that Yi Lin was young and ignorant, and would tell everything that would bring shame to her master, so she quickly added, "Just talk about the important things, and don't go into details about the irrelevant things."

Yi Lin replied, "Yes! I didn't do anything against the master's teachings. It's just that Tian Boguang is a bad guy, this bad guy...he...he...he..." As Yi Lin spoke, her eyes were full of fear and anger, and her body trembled slightly.

Master Dingyi nodded and said, "Yes, you don't need to tell me, I know everything. I will definitely kill those two villains Tian Boguang and Linghu Chong to vent your anger..."

Yi Lin opened her bright eyes with a look of surprise on her face. She said, "Brother Linghu? He...he..." Suddenly, her eyes turned red and tears fell. She sobbed, "He...he is dead!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Lin.

Tianmen Taoist was originally furious, but when he heard that Linghu Chong was dead, his anger immediately dissipated and he asked loudly, "How did he die? Who killed him?"

Yi Lin raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "It's this... this bad guy from the Qingcheng Sect." As she spoke, she pointed at Luo Renjie's body.

Yu Canghai couldn't help but feel proud after hearing this, thinking, "So the villain Linghu Chong was killed by Ren Jie. So, the two of them died together. Well, I knew Ren Jie was a brave boy, and he really lived up to the reputation of my Qingcheng Sect."

He stared at Yi Lin and sneered, "Your Five Mountains Sword Sect's people are all good people, and my Qingcheng Sect's people are all bad people?"

Yi Lin shed tears and said, "I... I don't know. I'm not talking about your uncle Yu, I'm just talking about him." As she spoke, she pointed at Luo Renjie's body.

Master Dingyi said to Yu Canghai, "Why are you scaring the child so viciously? Yilin, don't be afraid, just tell him everything about how evil this man is. The master is here, who dares to embarrass you?" As she said that, she rolled her eyes at Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai felt a little uneasy. He was afraid that Yi Lin would be instigated by her master to speak ill of Luo Renjie. Since his disciple had died together with Linghu Chong, there was no evidence, so he could only listen to Yi Lin's one-sided story. So he said, "A monk should not tell lies. Little Master, do you dare to swear an oath in the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Yilin said, "I would never dare to lie to Master." Then she knelt outside, clasped her hands together, lowered her brows and said, "Disciple Yilin, I report to Master and all the uncles and seniors that I would never dare to say a single word that was not true. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has great magical powers, please have mercy on me and see through me."

Taoist Tianmen frowned and paced back and forth, thinking about the impact of Yilin's words on the Five Mountains Sword Sect. He thought about Linghu Chong's death. If it was really as Yilin said, there must be a hidden story, and he couldn't let Qingcheng Sect off easily.

Some people from other sects were whispering to each other, discussing the development of the situation; some were just watching from the sidelines. The atmosphere in the whole hall was tense, and everyone was waiting for Yi Lin's next narration. (End of this chapter)
