"Lu Xihua … Lu Xihua … Didn't you die?
Why are you still here? "Ying Zheng was so shocked that he jumped up from his throne. He was even stuttering.
This made those who knew Ying Zheng feel strange. Ying Zheng was the kind of person who wouldn't be shocked even if the sky collapsed. He always felt like he had everything under his control. He never showed any joy on his face. He always wore a mask.
This was the first time the crowd had seen Ying Zheng lose his composure and look of shock.
Even if Lu Xihua had reappeared and become an Emperor, becoming an Emperor Sword level sword wielder, there was no need to be so shocked. He was completely different from the domineering Ying Zheng from before. It was as if he was a completely different person.
"Yes, I'm alive. I crawled out of hell to collect my debt from you!
Ying Zheng, it's time for you to return the life you owe me! "Lu Xihua looked at Ying Zheng coldly and said.
"What a joke!
When did I ever owe you my life? You died at the hands of the 12 Zu Wu. What does that have to do with me?
But I've already avenged you. The 12 Zu Wu died at my hands. You should be thanking me! "
After the initial shock, calmness returned to Ying Zheng's face. He sat back on his dragon throne and spoke to Lu Xihua in the same cold voice.
"Hmph!
If you hadn't sent people to trick me into the 12 Zu Wu's encirclement and sealed the void so I couldn't escape through the void, I wouldn't have died at the hands of the 12 Zu Wu! "Lu Xihua said something that shocked everyone.
"What?
Sword Immortal Xihua died at the hands of Ying Zheng? "
"I've said it before. Sword Immortal Xihua was very strange. From beginning to end, no one saw how Sword Immortal Xihua died. No one saw Sword Immortal Xihua's corpse either. There was only a video that circulated on the internet … I've long felt that there was something fishy about this!"
"Oh my god!
Why?
Why would Ying Zheng frame Sword Immortal Xihua? There's no reason for that! "
"I say, aren't you a little too naïve? When Sword Immortal Xihua was still around, Ying Zheng was always suppressed by Sword Immortal Xihua. Frost Jiandi also fully supported Sword Immortal Xihua. The leader of humanity has always been Sword Immortal Xihua. It has nothing to do with Ying Zheng.
When Sword Immortal Xihua disappeared, Ying Zheng became the leader of mankind. Can't you see what's going on here? "
"Hmph, a few years ago, I already felt that the death of Sword Immortal Xihua had something to do with Ying Zheng. But at that time, humans couldn't live without Ying Zheng, and I didn't have any evidence, so I couldn't say much!"
Below the Heaven Suppressing Platform, a heated discussion instantly broke out. Everyone began to discuss what had happened when Lu Xihua died. Regarding what had happened in the past 12 days and Ying Zheng's performance, everyone naturally stood on Lu Xihua's side, instinctively believing that what Lu Xihua had said was true.
"Nonsense!
We didn't know about this from the beginning to the end. And on the day you died, we were in Yan Jing City from the beginning to the end. This is something that all the Immortal sword bearers in Yan Jing City can testify for us. We didn't know that you were surrounded by Zu Wu! "
Ying Zheng shouted loudly. His words caused some of the Immortal sword bearers to nod their heads. They could all testify to this. On that day, Ying Zheng really did stay in Yan Jing City and didn't go out.
"Nonsense! On the day I was besieged by Yuankou, you were clearly nearby. You weren't in Yan Jing City at all!" Lu Xihua berated in a stern voice.
"How dare you!
You're talking nonsense, we aren't lying. We were in Yan Jing City that day! "
Ying Zheng also shouted back loudly. This scene looked like two children who hadn't grown up yet were quarreling.
"On December 7th, you were clearly outside, and you have the nerve to say that you were in Yan Jing City!"
"You're the one who's talking nonsense. You clearly died on December 8th. You were still in Yan Jing City on December 7th, okay?"
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, his face turned ghastly pale. He immediately realized that he had been led into a ditch by Lu Xihua.
When Lu Xihua died, there was only a broken video. It was said that it was a video taken by a passing sword bearer before he died. The video only showed that Lu Xihua was surrounded by five Zu Wu. As for when Lu Xihua died, there was never a definite result. It could only be roughly deduced that he died between December 7th and December 12th.
But now, Ying Zheng could directly say that Lu Xihua died on December 8th. How did Ying Zheng know this accurate date of death?
Didn't this mean that Ying Zheng knew what had happened from the beginning to the end?
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the entire imperial palace burst into an uproar. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence could tell that Ying Zheng was obviously lying … Although this lie could not directly prove that Lu Xihua was framed by Ying Zheng, if Ying Zheng did not frame Lu Xihua, why would he lie about this matter?
It was obvious that he had a guilty conscience. Therefore, the identity of Ying Zheng as the murderer was further confirmed. The expression of the people looking at Ying Zheng became even more furious. Not only did Ying Zheng want to be the emperor, but he also colluded with Zu Wu to kill Sword Immortal Xihua, whom everyone admired. And he still had the cheek to say that it was for the sake of mankind. This guy was really too vicious.
"…" Ying Zheng stopped talking. He looked at Lu Xihua with a gloomy face. No one knew what kind of insidious and vicious plan he was thinking under the mask.
Ying Zheng stopped talking, but Lu Xihua still had something to say.
Lu Xihua glanced at all the people below the Heaven Suppressing Platform, then fixed his eyes on the people standing at the front of the line of ministers. Although there was a little surprise on their faces, most of them were trembling in fear.
"Lu Yin, seeing that your sister has come back alive, shouldn't you, as her younger brother, stand up and congratulate her?
Would you like to hug me? "
Lu Xihua looked at Lu Yin, who was now the chief steward of the palace and the minister of the Heaven Suppressing Platform. He could be said to be the third most senior official in the entire human empire.
Although Lu Xihua said that he wanted to hug his younger brother, his tone and attitude were cold, like the east wind in January. Everyone who heard it couldn't help but shiver.
"Sister … it's great that you're alright …" Lu Yin walked out, trembling. He did not even dare to look at his sister's face. He could only lower his head and say in fear, "For the past three years, I've missed you so much every day. I've been immersed in pain every day. Sister … I still want to be the most loving brother and sister in the world. I still want to go back to the days before. Sister, let's forget the past and be together again!"
Hearing Lu Yin's words that were full of hints, many people understood. It seemed like Lu Yin's younger brother had done a lot of good things for Lu Xihua's death.
"What a joke!
We're the most loving brother and sister in the world! "
Lu Xihua raised his head, trying hard not to let the tears in his eyes fall. "Three years ago, I really thought so. The two of us will always be the most loving brother and sister in the world.
But on the 8th of December three years ago, it was you who destroyed my dream.
I'm not worthy to be your sister. From now on, we're no longer siblings. You can just be the loyal minister of the first emperor! "
"Sister!"
Lu Yin fell to his knees, kneeling in front of Lu Xihua. He cried out, "Sister … I beg you, don't say anymore … I beg you, don't say anymore …"
"No!
I'm going to say it. I'm going to tell the world what the two of you did all those years ago. I'm going to let everyone in the world see your true colors! "
Lu Xihua said through gritted teeth. Then, the truth of Lu Xihua's death was revealed by Lu Xihua himself.
"That day, I was patrolling the city walls while preparing to ascend to the throne. Then, my little brother hurriedly ran over and told me that Master had suddenly contacted him. He said that Master had escaped from the Seamless Corridor, but he was heavily injured. In addition, he was surrounded and attacked by Yuan Kou in the Fog Spirit Mountain. He needed me to immediately go save him. If I was even a second late, Master's life would be in danger!
"At the time, I was worried about Master's safety. At the same time, I believed that my little brother wouldn't lie to me. So, I asked my little brother to inform the others to come save Master, while I rushed out by myself. I wanted to save Master as soon as possible.
"But when I got there, I discovered that it wasn't my master who was waiting for me. It was the 12 Zu Wu's hidden in the Fog Spirit Mountain!
"Amazing. Of the 12 Zu Wu's, five Zu Wu's appeared at the same time. And when I tried to escape through the void, the void was completely sealed.
I was just a mere immortal sword wielder. I didn't even have the ability to resist. I died at the hands of the five Zu Wu's.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my little brother would do such a thing to me. He pushed me, his sister, into a pit of fire.
My good little brother, you've made me so happy. You've finally grown up. You can even trick your sister! "
"Sister … Don't say anymore … Don't say anymore …" Faced with the truth from Lu Xihua's mouth, Lu Yin completely broke down. He knelt on the ground and kept crying, begging Lu Xihua to stop talking.
"I should've figured it out long ago. You've actually been possessed. When I refused to use the Imperial Blood to help you grow, you were no longer my little brother. And when Ying Zheng used the blood of the Zu Wu's to turn you into a so-called spiritual sword wielder, you became a demon that could even be tainted by my blood!
"Lu Yin, I heard that on the second day after I died, you became a immortal sword wielder. I really have to congratulate you. You've finally achieved your dream after so many years.
But I want to ask you something. If you still want to be an Imperial Sword wielder, where are you going to get the blood of the Sui clan?
I wonder if the blood of this Ying Zheng can help you to take another step forward? "
After Lu Xihua said this, the entire truth became completely clear. Lu Yin had been tempted by Ying Zheng, and in order to become an Immortal Sword Tier sword wielder, he had cooperated with Ying Zheng to murder his own sister. This was the truth that shocked everyone, and it was hard for them to believe.
"Don't say anymore … Don't say anymore … I was wrong … Sister … I'll return my life to you …" Lu Yin kowtowed to Lu Xihua three times. Then, he pulled out the Sword Lady from his body and slashed at his own neck without hesitation.
"Stop!"
"No!"
Two waves of Sword Qi rushed towards Lu Yin at the same time. Before the Sword Lady in Lu Yin's hand could touch his neck, it had already been sent flying.
At this moment, Lu Xihua's right hand made a gesture of flying outwards. Clearly, one of the two sword energies was shot out by Lu Xihua … Lu Xihua was still Lucifer after all, and she was also Lu Yin's biological sister. Although she hated her younger brother very much, when her younger brother was about to commit suicide, she was the first one to save him.
