Chapter 79 The truth comes out (please subscribe)

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "When we left the Qi County Inn, I warned Gu Mo to be on guard against you. But you wanted me to expose your flaws, and I didn't know where to begin. I've never believed in cat demons."

Mo Qingxian nodded and said, "I know that."

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Lin Zhenyue, the head escort of Changfeng Escort Agency, is known in the martial arts world as the Hundred Victory Divine Fist. His fists are harder than metal and stone, yet they are cut so neatly. Either he has a peerless divine weapon, or his knife or sword is fast and fierce enough. Mo Qingxian, the invincible divine sword, has this ability."

Zhuo Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, I only thought of you later. In fact, I first suspected you when I knew that the escort in the robbery came from Lingyun Villa."

Mo Qingxian said, "I'm the victim, why do you doubt me?"

"It's said that a single Blood-Tear Pearl is equivalent to several years or even ten years of cultivation. Mo Qingxian relied on the Blood-Tear Stone Clam to rise from mediocre martial artist to a top-tier master in just a few years," Zhuo Qingfeng said slowly. "However, it's strange that the Young Master of Lingyun Villa, Mo Buding, is already thirty years old, yet his martial arts skills can't even withstand three moves from Shen Bai. It's a bit unreasonable."

Mo Qingxian said in a deep voice, "Shen Bai is a famous hero, a disciple of a master, and a master of martial arts. Although my Lingyun Villa has the Blood and Tear Pearl, as everyone knows, there is only one every year, and I use it to refine medicine. So, it is reasonable for my boy to be defeated miserably in the duel with Shen Bai, right?"

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and said, "It does make sense. So, although I had some doubts, I didn't take it too seriously. However, a few days ago, I saw the destroyed Blood-Tear Stone Clam at the Dongshan Sword Sect."

Mo Qingxian asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with this? Many people saw it, so there's nothing to doubt, right? The cat demon killed someone, Song Zu stole the treasure, and then the cat demon came to kill Song Zu. Even if there was something wrong, you should suspect the cat demon. Why would you suspect me?"

Zhuo Qingfeng took out a piece of glass fragment from his arms and said, "I secretly stole a piece of the Blood-Tear Stone Clam. Well, since the Blood-Tear Stone Clam is so precious, it would be very precious no matter who it belongs to, let alone the benefactor of Master Mo. Even if it is destroyed, I will not be displeased. But, Master Mo, you didn't notice that a piece was missing. What does it mean? It means that you don't care about that thing at all."

Mo Qingxian suddenly realized, "This is where the truth was revealed."

"Well," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Not really. The main thing is that I took the fragments to someone for inspection and found that it was just finely crafted colored glaze. There's nothing special about it. The blood-tear stone clam is fake, but Master Mo admitted it was real."

"So that's how it is." Mo Qingxian sighed.

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded slightly and said, "Now that I know the Blood-Tear Stone Clam is fake, I'm basically certain that Manor Master Mo must have an unusual relationship with the cat demon. After all, you were sent here to rescue people, so what's the point of sending a fake one? Unless, it was all an act from the beginning. Zuo Ze doesn't need you to save him, and you asked the escort agency to send the Blood-Tear Stone Clam just to pave the way for the cat demon to appear in the world!"
Of course, there is another reason, that is, there has never been a blood-tear stone clam in the world. This is just a lie that you, Master Mo, have fabricated for decades. This lie has brought huge benefits to your Lingyun Villa, but it also has huge risks. You are old, but your son Mo Bu has mediocre talent. He cannot keep the benefits brought by this lie, so you need to make this lie an unverifiable existence.

After I learned that the damaged blood-tear stone clam at the Dongshan Sword Sect was fake, I figured out my initial doubts. Why did Young Master Mo Buyao have mediocre martial arts skills? It was not because Master Mo did not let him swallow the blood-tear pearl in order to make money, but because there was no blood-tear pearl at all.

The reputation of the Blood and Tears Pearl is so great that the Blood and Tears Pill derived from it has formed an industrial chain in the martial arts world. The price in the black market is getting higher and higher. Lingyun Villa claims that it can only produce ten pearls a year, but there are at least hundreds of them on the market every year. That thing has been given another meaning. It is no longer a healing pill, but a luxury item. Those wealthy families are proud to have a collection of Blood and Tears Pills, and gradually a circle has formed, and the final right of interpretation of this circle belongs to Lingyun Villa.

But the existence of this thing also lies in one point, that is, you, Mo Qingxian, are still invincible with the divine sword, and no one has the ability to question it. But you are old now. Once you fall, Lingyun Villa will not be able to defend itself. If at that time, the world knows that the Blood and Tears Pearl is a lie from beginning to end, then the Blood and Tears Pill will be worthless, and those who treasure the Blood and Tears Pill will become a joke. The most important thing is that many people will go bankrupt in an instant. By then, Lingyun Villa will be destroyed by those angry people to vent their anger.

Therefore, Master Mo, you must put an end to this lie while you are still alive and still invincible as the Divine Sword. The best way to do that is to kill the Blood-Tear Stone Clam without any evidence!"

Mo Qingxian sighed, feeling quite emotional, and said, "Everything has two sides. When I was young, I was proud of the legend of the Blood and Tears Stone Clam that I created. I have accumulated wealth that most people in the world cannot imagine.

However, when I grew old, I realized that shortcuts would backfire, it was just a matter of time. I began to fear that after my death, Lingyun Villa would be reduced to ruins because of the Blood-Tear Stone Clams that I was so proud of, and my descendants would be slaughtered because of it.

"so,"

Zhuo Qingfeng pointed at the man in black not far away and said, "You and the Zuo family, who are bent on revenge, have the same idea and have joined forces to create this story about the birth of a cat demon." Zhuo Qingfeng looked at the man in black with a smile and said calmly, "Zuo Yue, Young Master Zuo, it's meaningless for you to still be wearing a mask!"

The man in black slowly took off his veil.

It was Zuo Yue, the eldest disciple of Zhao Congwu, the leader of Dongshan Sword Sect and the young leader of Dongshan Sword Sect.

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "I would guess that Zuo Yue was behind this, that would be easy. When I realized that the blood-tear stone clam was a lie, I would naturally guess that the role played by the Zuo family in the whole thing was the cat demon.

After all, the beginning of this matter was the escort of the Blood-Tear Stone Clam to save the life of the head of the Zuo family. The first protagonist of this play is Lingyun Villa, and the second protagonist must be the Zuo family. One thing can solve the problems of both of your families at the same time.

Lingyun Villa needs to cut ties with the Blood-Tear Stone Clam and end decades of lies, and the Zuo family needs an opportunity to take revenge, so when you meet, you make up a new story.

The Blood-Tear Stone Clam was robbed by a cat demon. In this situation, the leaders of the Four Directions Sword Sect were a little panicked, because the previous cat demon, Fang Lianshan, had died sixty years ago and was killed by the four of them.

But now the cat demon has appeared again.

They had something to hide, so they convened the four-faction martial arts competition in advance. It was originally scheduled for the end of the year, but they held it a few months earlier just to get together and discuss things openly.

At this time, Zuo Yue, you took action again.

You framed your seventeenth junior brother as the treasure thief and destroyed the so-called blood-tear stone clam in public. At this point, the matter of Lingyun Villa has come to a successful conclusion, and the revenge drama of the Zuo family has begun.

That night at the Dongshan Sword Sect, the four leaders who already had something to hide were completely panicked, so they took the initiative to leave and came to Jiuhua Mountain to find out what was going on. This step just fell into your trap.

If I'm not mistaken, you started planning your revenge many years ago, lurking around Zhao Congwu step by step, until you became the young leader. You took advantage of the four leaders' trust in you, and either poisoned them or used some other method, which has buried the seeds of trouble for them for many years. The Blood-Tear Stone Clam in Lingyun Villa is your chance for final revenge.

I heard a few days ago that Fang Lianshan once had a son, but he died at a very young age. Thinking about it carefully, it might just be a kind of protection, not a real death, but just to stay away from the world.

The Zuo family has been changing their names for decades, plotting revenge.
So, there is only one truth.
You are the descendant of Fang Lianshan!"

Zhuo Qingfeng's words were convincing, well-reasoned and powerful.

then,

Zuo Yue curled his lips and said slowly, "People tend to think that those who assassinate corrupt officials must be descendants of loyal officials, those who change dynasties must be descendants of famous families, and those who seek revenge must be descendants of important figures.

But who stipulated this?"

The moonlight was bright, and there was a cool breeze. Zhuo Qingfeng's face was stiff, and he was stunned for a moment.

Zuo Yue said slowly, "To be honest, Captain Zhuo, people are prejudiced. So, Captain Zhuo, after much thought, you insist on putting this revenge story on someone who died sixty or seventy years ago, and you don't want to believe that the person seeking revenge today is actually an ordinary person.

More than sixty years ago, Fang Lianshan fabricated the story of a cat demon in order to become famous and for profit. He brought his four apprentices with him, and while killing and setting fires, he pretended to be a demon to harm people, and at the same time pretended to be a Taoist master to catch demons. In the end, he indeed became famous and was respected as a hero by the world.

However, so many innocent people were killed by him, but the world still praises him and says that he was saving people. It is really ridiculous. Therefore, Fang Lianshan deserves to die, and his four apprentices deserve to die too.

My father's family was destroyed by Fang Lianshan. He was just a teenager at that time. He knew the truth, but no one believed him and no one stood up for him. He practiced martial arts desperately, thinking that he would take revenge one day.

However, reality is not like the stories in the novels, there are not so many happy endings. Before my father’s martial arts were fully developed, we heard that Fang Lianshan had died and his four disciples had disappeared. The enemy was gone.

After waiting for a long time, the Shenmao Temple fell into decline and no one was left. My father decided to dig up Fang Lianshan's grave to vent his anger. However, he didn't expect that when he dug the grave this time, he found a blocked secret passage under the grave.

My father spent nearly a year digging up the secret passage and found a skeleton inside.

Zhuo Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "It's Fang Lianshan."

"Yes," Zuo Yue said, "It was Fang Lianshan. He never sacrificed his life for the country, but only faked his death to escape. Because at that time, he had almost become a public enemy in the martial arts world. He could fool ordinary people by disguising himself as a cat demon, but he couldn't fool those martial arts people.

So, he put on a show, pretending to be dead to escape. He prepared a secret passage in the tomb and another corpse in the coffin. He entered the coffin and the tomb in full view of everyone, and then was sent to the secret passage and hid there.

However, what he didn't expect was that he was betrayed by his four apprentices. After he woke up, instead of secretly picking him up, they blocked the secret passage with the Dragon-Breaking Stone. Hahahaha, he died of thirst and starvation under his grave.

Before he died, he used slag to carve his method of disguising himself as a cat demon on the wall. It was a peerless magical skill. When combined with specific weapons, it could control people's minds and make them see hallucinations. He used this magical skill to pretend to be a ghost.

He hated his four disciples, so he left behind his soul-stealing technique, hoping that someone in the future would learn it and avenge him. This magical skill was unique to him, and even his disciples didn't learn it. It's a pity that he didn't have enough time to leave behind a complete Cloud and Mist Phantom Sword.

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "I roughly know the rest of the story. Your father's talent was average, so his hope for revenge rested on you. He trained you from a young age and later had you join the Dongshan Sword Sect, getting close to Zhao Congwu. He endured for decades just to wait for the right opportunity to capture the four of them in one fell swoop."

"They deserve to die!" Zuo Yue said, "How many evil things did they do following Fang Lianshan? How many people's families were destroyed because of them? Do you think they killed Fang Lianshan because they felt guilty? No, it was because Fang Lianshan controlled them too much and refused to teach them the Soul-Capture Technique. So, they simply betrayed their master and ancestors. Such disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people suddenly changed their ways and were respected by the world. They even became famous in the martial arts world. But even now, they are still supporting the Shenmao Temple and squeezing the people's money. Behind the Shenmao Temple, how many families have been destroyed and how many people have died? It's really ridiculous!"

Zhuo Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "Where are the four masters now?"

Zuo Yue said coldly, "Why, Captain Zhuo thinks they shouldn't die?"

"Damn it," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "but what's the difference between you and them? You've killed quite a few people for your own ends, haven't you? Just look at that robbery at the post station, nearly a hundred escorts were killed by you. Don't they all have families behind them? Besides, now that the four masters are dead, you've taken over the Dongshan Sword Sect. Even with your methods, you could unify all four sword sects. Would you give up the huge interests behind the Divine Cat Temple?"

"Humph!"

Zuo Yue snorted coldly and remained silent.

Zhuo Qingfeng suddenly laughed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the four great sect leaders are now trapped in the secret passage where Fang Lianshan died of thirst, right? Well, if I think about it carefully, it should be to force them to hand over the complete Cloud and Mist Illusion Sword. However, we arrived a little early, so you wanted to stop us!"

Zuo Yue's face darkened slightly.

Zhuo Qingfeng continued, "What a pity! If you weren't so greedy, you could just kill the four of them and get your revenge. You might not be exposed, and your father wouldn't die. It was you who killed your father!"

"you shut up!"

Zuo Yue roared angrily.

On the other side, Mo Qingxian's face changed drastically, and he shouted at Zuo Yue, "He's deliberately provoking you. Stay calm and don't let it ruin your mood!"

At the same time, Mo Qingxian quickly drew his knife and attacked Gu Mo, trying to interfere with him.

The duel between masters often happens in a split second.

Mo Qingxian knew it, Zuo Yue also knew it,
Zhuo Qingfeng knew it, and Gu Mo knew it too.

The four of them seemed to be communicating and talking for the past half day, but in fact they were looking for each other's weaknesses to see who would make mistakes first. It was a competition of mentality.

And just at that moment,

Zuo Yue was enraged, his mind was shaken,

Although it was only a moment, Gu Mo caught it.

"Xiao Gu's Flying Knife" flew out of his hand!

But, at that moment, a bell rang,
Gu Mo was shocked.
because,

In his spiritual perception,

The flying knife hit, but Zuo Yue disappeared!
