Hearing what Hu Wanquan said, Yu Tieshan’s face became even more panicked. He shook his head somewhat guiltily and said, “Senior Brother, you really misunderstood... I really didn’t kill the master and steal the sword manual–!!!”
“Heh, is that so?” Hu Wanquan said, “Do you dare say that you haven’t been secretly practicing the Banished Immortal Sword Technique day and night over these years?”
Hearing this, Yu Tieshan shook his head and said:
“Senior Brother, I really didn’t–!!!”
“Heh, is that so?” Hu Wanquan sneered, drawing his sword and pointing the tip at Yu Tieshan’s throat: “If you don’t admit it, do you believe I will kill you–!”
“Senior Brother, I really didn’t betray the master–!!!”
Yu Tieshan said, “I swear to heaven, if I truly committed such a treacherous act of master-killing, let me meet a miserable end–!!!”
Witnessing this scene, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace became confused.
Yu Tieshan dared to swear, so why did he look so guilty?!! And to be honest, he didn’t look like a good person at all, his expression even carried a bit of coldness.
“Say, could it be that we misunderstood Yu Tieshan?”
“Yeah... maybe Hu Wanquan was just bluffing him and didn’t actually have any real evidence?”
“Ah, this...”
“I think this Yu Tieshan is indeed not a good person.”
“Don’t rush to conclusions, it’s not good if we wrongly accuse a good person.”
“That’s right, what Hu Wanquan said might not be correct, let’s wait and see.”
“Do you still want to quibble, Junior Brother?” Hearing Yu Tieshan’s words, Hu Wanquan reached into Yu Tieshan’s bosom, and soon after, pulled out a book.
The book was titled: ‘Banished Immortal Sword Manual.’
“Junior Brother, what else do you have to say?”
Seeing this, Yu Tieshan closed his eyes and stopped explaining, “Senior Brother, since you already know, I have nothing to say... kill me then.”
“Uh... who just said we were wronging Yu Tieshan? Step forward!”
Those who were doubting Yu Tieshan’s innocence earlier, now dared not speak. At this moment, in the Jade Fox Palace, no one doubted that Hu Wanquan was correct.
Yu Tieshan, just like Ye Xuan, was a despicable and shameless person.
As a disciple, so is the master. Betraying one’s master, that’s absolutely unforgivable anywhere. For a time, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace harbored deep hatred towards Yu Tieshan. Such a treacherous person, a perpetrator of great evil, truly deserves death by everyone’s hands.
“Isn’t it too easy on him to just kill him?!!”
“Yeah, this kind of person should be sent to the Poisonous Pit, to suffer the torture of being bitten by thousands of poisonous insects–!!!” Some people said so, their gaze already shifting towards Ye Xuan.
At this time, they no longer doubted the words of their palace master. Ye Xuan really was not a good person in his past and present life–!!!
“Hahaha–!!!” Just when everyone thought that Hu Wanquan would kill Yu Tieshan, He suddenly burst into laughter. He said to Yu Tieshan, “Alright, Junior Brother, stop with this act. I believe you, you are definitely not the one who betrayed our master.”
Ye Xuan, who was secretly watching this scene, breathed a sigh of relief. He almost couldn’t help but rush out just now. Although with his martial arts, he actually couldn’t do much.
“What? Even after all this, Hu Wanquan still trusts Yu Tieshan?”
“He’s too kind, right?!!”
“Exactly, Yu Tieshan is definitely the one who betrayed his master and stole the secrets. There’s nothing left to say. It’s bad enough that they didn’t torture him, but giving him a quick death is one thing, why still trust him?”
“Impossible, could Hu Wanquan really be this foolish? Yu Tieshan has nothing left to say, yet he still believes Yu Tieshan is not the culprit behind the betrayal?”
Some people spoke sarcastically, their eyes turning towards Ye Xuan, “Just like now, it’s clear to everyone what the outcome will be, yet some still choose to believe in someone who has committed such despicable acts?”
“Kindness is good, but in this world, some people shouldn’t be too kind. The kinder you are to the wicked, the more you harm the good.”
These remarks were clearly directed at Ye Xuan. By believing in Ye Xuan and helping him, Yu Ling’er and Elder Qingxue were being accused of helping a tyrant.
However, just as these mocking words were spoken, the scene continued with Hu Wanquan speaking to Yu Tieshan.
“Brother... do you really believe me?!!” Hearing this, Yu Tieshan looked surprised and touched as he turned to Hu Wanquan.
“Of course, junior brother, I believe you are not the one who betrayed our master.” Hu Wanquan nodded, “After all... it was I who killed that old man.”
“–!!!” At this moment, Ye Xuan’s eyes widened in shock. Although he knew that in the future, perhaps no one would watch his expression in the play...
He still had to perform his role.
Outside the scene, everyone, including Yu Ling’er and Elder Qingxue, couldn’t help but be stunned, their faces in disbelief.
“What?!!”
They seemed to have heard something unbelievable. For a moment, they couldn’t believe their ears.
“Brother... what did you just say?!!” Hearing this, Yu Tieshan was shocked, looking at Hu Wanquan, “Brother, what did you just say?!!”
“Heh.” Hu Wanquan sneered, “Junior brother, didn’t you hear clearly? I said, that old man, our master, it was I who killed him.”
Yu Tieshan looked utterly shocked, staring at Hu Wanquan.
“Looks like you don’t really believe what your brother is saying.” Seeing Yu Tieshan’s reaction, Hu Wanquan sighed.
“Well then, I’ll explain it in more detail. That old man, our master, it was I who killed him. The so-called Banished Immortal Sword Manual that you stole was actually a fake that I allowed you to take.”
“The real Banished Immortal Sword Manual, I had already obtained it long ago–!!! What do you think, junior brother? Surprised? Shocked?”
Surprised?!! This was way too surprising–!!!
At this moment, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace, except for Ye Xuan, felt like their minds were blown.
The plot twist was too dramatic, too convoluted. They were all stunned!!!
