Chapter 237: Accomplice Murong Li
Chapter 237: Accomplice Murong Li
Time passed by bit by bit, and just as the two were waiting for the god of death to pronounce their fate, a black shadow descended from the sky, emitting a dazzling white light, and the two were instantly stung by the white light.
"I'm not dead yet! How dare you attack the younger generations?" Murong Li shouted with full energy.
At the critical moment, Murong Li stepped forward and stood between Chu Yu and Ye Lan, forming a stable triangle relationship. Then he used the Buddhist secret of "Buddha's Light Appeared" to easily purify the evil spirit coming out of Chu Yu's hand. The black air disappeared without a trace the moment it came into contact with the white light.
"You! You actually know the Buddhist techniques." Chu Yu was shocked and stepped back repeatedly. He was secretly glad that he found it in time and let go. Otherwise, it would not only purify the evil spirit that emerged, but also affect his hands, and in serious cases, spread to his whole body. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he almost pointed at Murong Li and scolded him.
"Of course I have to keep some tricks up my sleeve when dealing with you." Murong Li clasped his hands behind his back, nodded and puffed out his chest.
However, Chu Yu's face suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something. He looked excited, and laughed inexplicably while holding his stomach. Under the vigilant gazes of several people, he said:
"No wonder! No wonder it's like this!"
Murong Li's brows immediately tightened, he felt a little nervous, and his body became stiff. A bad premonition came to his mind. He thought Chu Yu saw something, and he didn't dare to breathe. All he could think about was how to protect Wuyou's two disciples.
Murong Li had reasons for being so worried and suspicious. Although he looked very secretive, he was just trying his best and taking things one step at a time.
When going down the cave earlier, Murong Li was a little careless and took the wrong path. He also stepped on a trap set by the enemy and accidentally inhaled some poisonous gases, which caused the meridians in his body to be blocked and made it difficult to transport spiritual energy. Now, Murong Li is relying entirely on the energy in his dantian to support him to this day.
But along the way, Murong Li concealed himself very well and no one noticed that he had lost his threat.
Therefore, Murong Li deeply believed that Rong Zhao was the only powerful output at present, and saving Rong Zhao was equivalent to saving everyone. Therefore, he gave all the useful magic weapons and props to Rong Zhao, thinking that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a gamble. As long as Rong Zhao did not die, he could also save himself.
"Is there anything so funny?" Murong Li was interrupted by Chu Yu's laughter and asked the question impatiently, but he never expected to hear Chu Yu's subsequent long speech.
"Murong, Murong, you are so shrewd! I am such a fool!" Chu Yu sighed and said, "I finally understand why you rejected me so many times when I invited you to Tianjian Sect. It turns out that all this was to lure me in and dispel my suspicion of you! After all, it was only because of my persistence and loss of face as the sect leader that you agreed to join Tianjian Sect.
"Compared to those people who deliberately stayed in Tianjian Sect, no one would suspect you. Besides, I have no grudge against you, so how could you do anything to harm me? I didn't expect that you have been monitoring me for so many years!"
Murong Li did not refute, but just stared at Chu Yu quietly. For a moment, Chu Yu did not know what to say next. He hated monologues.
"Why don't you say anything! Am I wrong? You saw what happened back then and you're still brooding over it! That's why you've been spying on me!" Chu Yu said firmly.
Murong's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and said calmly:
"I don't understand what you are saying." Murong Li refused to admit it.
"If you don't admit it, I'll tell you." Chu Yu also knew that Murong Li would not admit it, so he didn't let him go easily. Instead, he showed a malicious smile and continued to talk about it, saying, "Let these two juniors see the true face of the respected uncle before they die. It can be considered that they will die without regrets. I believe this is a very interesting thing."
Murong Li was not in a hurry to refute Chu Yu. He had his own considerations and remained silent.
"What happened back then," Chu Yu said while observing Murong Li's reaction. Seeing how calm he was, he curled his lips and said, "I'm talking about the extermination of the Rong clan. You were an insider, but you didn't report it. Those who know about it but don't report it are accomplices."
“You are slandering me!” Fu Yifan was even more agitated than Murong Li. He shouted at Chu Yu over Murong Li, “Don’t slander my uncle!”
"Whether I am slandering you or not, you can find out by listening to what your dear uncle-master says." Chu Yu threw the answer to the question to Murong Li. Who made him avoid the topic all the time? He didn't believe that he wouldn't say it this time.
Murong Li remained silent, so Fu Yifan turned his head and looked at him with uncertainty in his eyes, and asked;
"Uncle Master?"
"What he said is true." Murong Li finally spoke under everyone's expectant gaze, but the moment he spoke it was like dropping a bomb at them.
Fu Yifan looked incredulous and spoke with difficulty:
"Uncle Master, you...how is it possible?"
"At this point, there is nothing to hide. In fact, I didn't mean to hide anything from you," Murong Li explained. "To be honest, I was ashamed to say that I accidentally ran into Chu Yu and others plotting to steal the Rong clan's secret treasure. I didn't mean to eavesdrop and was forced to hide in the dark, but I was still discovered. Seeing that I was very powerful, they tried to win me over, but I naturally refused with righteous words, and told them that I had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the sect and the clan, and promised not to expose their conspiracy to the Rong clan."
"If they wanted to kill me and silence me, I would never let them do it. Later, for some reason, they didn't do it. I thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so I didn't tell anyone. But I didn't expect that they would destroy the Rong family for the secret treasure, and eventually made a big mistake! I really regret it, but it's too late."
Murong Li reconstructed the course of events without exaggerating or exaggerating, nor did he excuse his own mistakes. However, everyone found it difficult to digest for a while, and they did not know what to feel.
"Uncle-master, why didn't you report them afterwards?" Fu Yifan listened quietly and couldn't help but question Murong Li.
Murong Li smiled bitterly, shook his head, and asked:
"How do you know I didn't report them? There's no way to report them! The Rong family is dead, and the Rong family's allies have been bribed by Chu Yu and his men. How can I report them?"
"Where is the eldest senior brother? Uncle, have you told him about this?" Fu Yifan asked again.
"Your senior brother is so smart that he already knew who the murderer was. Why should I bother with this? Rong Zhao has been keeping it a secret until now because he has not found any evidence. With his extraordinary intelligence, he can guess the reason even if I don't tell him. Besides, if I tell him, I can't provide conclusive evidence. Words alone are not enough and it is easy to alert the enemy. Why bother adding to his troubles?"
"After all, everything is your inference, Murong. Are you sure Rong Zhao really wants to be kept in the dark? Besides, these are not the reasons why you concealed the truth. Murong Li, based on my understanding of you over the years, everything you said is made up! They are all excuses. Come on! Stop struggling. Don't you want to see how the younger generations will express their opinions? Reveal your true thoughts, liberate your nature, and be your true self," Chu Yu added and guided at the right time, slowly spitting out one word after another, "Murong, you don't want to tell the secret because you are cold, ruthless and selfish; you don't dare to tell him afterwards because you are afraid that Rong Zhao will hate you; you don't want to admit it because you are afraid of losing everything you have..."
When Chu Yu mentioned the second reason, Murong Li's eyes were dull and his trembling body betrayed his inner thoughts. It was obvious that his psychological defenses had been broken. In fact, was it really as Chu Yu said?
Seeing Murong Li's collapse, Chu Yu was very pleased with himself, but he still felt it was not enough, so he continued to attack him mentally with words, which was much more interesting than killing him with force.
On the brink of collapse, his heart began to waver, and he began to deny himself. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the cold-blooded, cowardly and timid person in Chu Yu's mouth, such an unbearable and despicable villain, was the real him?
"I..." Murong Li trembled, still somewhat conscious. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence!
