Chapter 276 Luo Wushuang!
Chapter 276 Luo Wushuang!
This scene not only made many underworld figures watching the ceremony in the venue dumbfounded.
Even the Tai Heng Sect disciples looked at each other in bewilderment... they had no idea what was going on.
Guan Changying was clearly here, holding the sword-awarding ceremony.
Why did he die in the coffin brought by Chu Qing?
If the person in the coffin is Guan Changying, then who is standing in front of everyone now?
Tang Qianyu touched his chin, surprise flashing in his eyes.
Ye Wanqiu's eyes moved back and forth between the two Guan Changyings, looking at one and then the other, as if trying to figure out who was the real Li Kui and who was the fake Li Kui.
Only Lan Shuyi's eyes flashed with a hint of realization:
"So that's how it is. Is that the case?"
Cheng Tieshan suddenly patted the back of his chair and stood up:
"Good thief, so that's what happened!"
He pointed at Guan Changying who was standing in front of the elders of Tai Heng Sect:
“You killed Li Junmo, killed Guan Changying, disguised yourself, and framed the Third Young Master.
"Using the identity of the young master of Tai Heng Sect to stir up trouble, what a good move!!"
This is not difficult to guess, but after Cheng Tieshan said this, the confused minds of everyone present suddenly became clear.
"It's really a frame-up! I thought it was Guan Changying who framed the Third Young Master, but it turned out to be a fake!"
"Who is this person? He pretended to be Guan Changying, but the people from Tai Heng Sect didn't even notice?"
"What a sinister mind! If we let him succeed, what will happen?"
As everyone was discussing, Chu Qing looked at Guan Changying:
"Now that things have come to this, do you plan to speak for yourself? Or do you want me to speak for you?"
"...What do you want to say?"
Guan Changying looked at Chu Qing silently. There was no panic in his eyes after being exposed. His face was still calm.
Chu Qing glanced at Guan Changying in the coffin and said softly:
“The person who killed Zhao Qipeng was indeed Guan Changying.
“I know about this matter, Lan Shuyi knows it, and Li Junmo knows it too.
“But… Li Junmo is indeed very caring towards this former fellow disciple, who is now his beloved disciple.
“Even though he knew that he was the one who killed Zhao Qipeng, he did not expose it, but instead helped him conceal the truth.
"In the final analysis, it is because Guan Changying is a promising talent, the best among his peers, with both talent and martial arts being top-notch, and he is the most suitable leader of Tai Heng Sect.
“I don’t know exactly what happened that night, but judging from the circumstances after Li Junmo’s death, I think it was Guan Changying who came to look for Li Junmo.
"Although Li Junmo has announced that he is in seclusion, Guan Changying shouldn't disturb him at this time...
"But another incident happened that night, which prompted Guan Changying to come and check it out."
"whats the matter?"
Tang Qianyu couldn't help but ask.
He is now becoming more and more interested in this matter.
If it was just Tai Heng Clan who wanted to frame Chu Qing, this matter wouldn't be worth paying too much attention to.
Anyway, considering Chu Qing's ability, this matter will definitely come to nothing in the end.
But now that such a change has occurred, the matter has become even more confusing.
Now, after hearing Chu Qing say that something else happened that night, I couldn't help but be curious about what exactly happened.
"The monk Qiansun, who was on the evil-killing list of the Mirror of Evil, pretended to be a disciple of the Taiheng Sect and assassinated Li Junmo!"
Chu Qing said this and glanced at Lan Shuyi:
"Lan Shuyi, the Thousand-Thread Soul-Fixing Hand of Ding'an Hall, will witness this matter with me."
Lan Shuyi stood up:
"That's right. At that time, Sect Leader Li didn't investigate and was injured by the Heart-Severing Soul-Severing Finger of Monk Qiansun. When his life was hanging by a thread, it was the Third Young Master who came to his rescue.
“This is how Master Li saved his life.
“So, from the very beginning, I didn’t believe that it was the Third Young Master who killed Sect Leader Li.
"Because that night, before the news of Sect Leader Li's death spread, I had been working with the Third Young Master to find trouble with the remaining three assassins on the Evil Mirror Platform's Evil Slaying List."
"Is there still such a thing?"
Ye Wanqiu couldn't help but glanced at Lan Shuyi coldly:
"You are indeed a treacherous person. Since the Third Young Master was with you at the time, it was impossible for him to kill Sect Leader Li. Why didn't you say anything at the time?
"When someone questioned this matter just now, why didn't you testify for the Third Young Master?"
"..."
Lan Shuyi was speechless. For Chu Qing that night, the truth of the matter was no longer important.
There is no need for me to come forward to testify.
At that time, Chu Qing was angered by the Tai Heng Sect disciples and just wanted to kill them.
Whether you say it or not, the result is no different.
Moreover, the people of Taihengmen tend to believe what they hear. If they didn't believe me at that time, I would have no way to continue staying in Taihengmen.
It is better to keep silent for now and testify later.
The timing of testifying also needs to be grasped, and now is the right time.
It’s just that there is no reason for him to explain the details here to Ye Wanqiu.
Anyway, this woman had a deep prejudice against him, and he didn't care what image he had in her mind.
Chu Qing had just talked about most of what happened that night, skipping the content of the confrontation with Li Junmo in the Jingxin Cave. Chu Qing spoke in a deep voice:
"The people from the Niejingtai appeared quietly in the Jingxin Cave. Judging from the guards of the Taihengmen, it is impossible for Master Qiansun to achieve such a goal without disturbing anyone with his abilities.
“Considering the grudge between Guan Changying and Tai Heng Clan…some of the truths are not difficult to guess.
“The person who commissioned Niejingtai to assassinate Li Junmo was none other than Guan Changying.
“He came here just to check and see if the assassin succeeded.
"In the end, I didn't see the assassin, but the seriously injured Li Junmo...
“I don’t know what happened in between.
“At that time, I found out the whereabouts of the other assassins from Monk Qiansun, and then I left Taiheng Gate and headed to Chunlai Inn in Jiancheng to look for those assassins.
"That night, the Tai Heng Sect disciples guarding the city gate should have seen me and the two assassins jump out of the city wall and fight outside the city. In the end, I succeeded in killing the assassin!"
Sure enough, some of the Tai Heng Sect disciples nodded.
There was a lot of noise that night.
When a master left Jiancheng, they did not stop him. However, the aftermath of the fight was felt not only by those martial artists like them, but also by the common people in the city.
This cannot be faked.
So, what Chu Qing said was true!
It really wasn't him who killed the leader!
Some people looked at Guan Changying with extremely complicated eyes. Then they heard Chu Qing say:
"But I didn't expect that after I solved the worries of assassins for Master Li, I returned to Tai Heng Sect and saw the nine elders of Tai Heng Sect leading more than 200 disciples to besiege the people around me."
At this point, Chu Qing's voice turned cold:
“The brutal murder was indeed caused by my righteous indignation.
“I was the one who took these two hundred lives!
“However, as warriors, when we encounter injustice, we do not fight back with force. Do we still intend to reason with them?
"If the people of Tai Heng Sect were willing to be reasonable, why would they kill everyone around me while I was away? If I had come a little later, wouldn't they have died in this Tai Heng Sect?
"It's ridiculous. I ran around for Master Li for half a night, but when I came back, my good friend was almost killed by the disciples of Tai Heng Sect...
"May I ask everyone here, what's wrong with me killing people in anger?"
"The Tai Heng Sect is ungrateful, what an ungrateful bastard! He first saved your leader, and then helped to kill the assassin. After he came back, his friends were almost killed by your Tai Heng Sect members. If I had the martial arts skills of the Third Young Master, wouldn't I have wiped out the entire Tai Heng Sect?"
"It's really chilling to think about it. They actually want to hurt people without knowing the right or wrong. Is this the style of Tai Heng Sect?"
"Speaking of which, isn't the Niejingtai enforcing justice on behalf of heaven and using killing as punishment? What has Master Li done wrong? How dare they make such dishonest money?"
"You don't know this. The so-called justice for the heavens is just a fig leaf. During the war between the two halls, the people of Niejingtai wanted to assassinate Tie Lingyun. Their actions were no different from those of an ordinary assassin organization. They all killed people for money. For this reason, Tie Tangzhu has recently been making drastic efforts to destroy the Niejingtai branch, and now it has been very effective!
“There are also many relatives and friends of those who died at the hands of the Evil Mirror and were stigmatized. They are all gathering at the Iron Blood Hall, wanting to avenge their loved ones.”
"There is such a thing!? I have never heard of it!"
Amidst the various opinions, Chu Qing's voice once again reached everyone's ears:
“Before they killed him, I learned from them that they thought I had killed Li Junmo.
“But Li Junmo was clearly alive and well before I left Jingxin Cave.
"It was later speculated that it was Guan Changying who went to Jingxin Cave, and something unexpected happened during that time.
“At first, I also thought that it was Guan Changying who killed Li Junmo and took the opportunity to frame me for this incident.
“But I didn’t expect… when I chased the last assassin on the Evil Mirror Platform’s List of Exterminating Evils and reached the Sword-Enlightening Cliff, I learned that a person had died on the Cliff.
"I know this man from the past, so after I killed the assassin, I went to check the body and found...
“That corpse is not that of my old friend.
"Although the art of disguise is ingenious, I happened to have some experience with it. After a little analysis, I discovered that there was a human skin mask on the face of the corpse!"
And whose face is under the mask... At this moment, it is self-evident.
The real Guan Changying was disguised and killed, and his body was thrown into the Wujian Cliff.
The fake Guan Changying was quietly waiting for today's sword-awarding ceremony.
Chu Qing raised his head and looked at Guan Changying:
"Luo Wushuang, at this point, are you still planning to keep silent?"
Kill Guan Changying and disguise himself as Luo Wushuang, so where is the real Luo Wushuang?
He didn't die...naturally he turned into Guan Changying.
That night Wenrou once said that the last killer of Niejingtai, the one who practiced the [Wood Corpse Art], had communicated with Luo Wushuang.
Chu Qing was very surprised at the time, but when he saw the face under the human skin mask of the corpse, everything was explained.
There must be an extremely deep connection between Luo Wushuang and Guan Changying.
From the beginning, perhaps the person who was looking for an assassin to kill Li Junmo was not Guan Changying, but Luo Wushuang.
That's why Luo Wushuang was involved with the last assassin. They had a secret meeting in Taihengmen.
However, the name Luo Wushuang was very unfamiliar, and almost no one in the world had heard of him.
After Chu Qing said these three words, everyone in the room looked at each other in surprise.
Guan Changying exhaled slowly:
"So, that night, you switched the bodies?"
"I was busy with something important at the time, and the person who replaced the body was not me... but Lan Shuyi."
Chu Qing glanced at Lan Shuyi.
Lan Shuyi nodded. Chu Qing went to see him that night and asked him to do something very inexplicable.
Let him find a corpse, change clothes on it, and throw it into the woodshed.
And put a human skin mask on the corpse.
Lan Shuyi had no idea why this happened, but he did it anyway.
That's why he went to the woodshed the next day to see what happened. He saw Guan Changying and his men, who couldn't wait to burn the body.
Guan Changying said softly:
“I thought that after what happened, you would not return to Tai Heng Gate that night.
"A moment of lapse of judgment left me with this flaw. It is my fate that I was exposed by you in public today.
"Third Young Master...are you my nemesis?"
Chu Qing pondered for a moment and spoke softly:
"You mean the cold corpse Chu Huaifeng?"
"if not?"
Guan Changying sighed:
"Many things are determined by human effort. If the cold corpse Chu Huaifeng had not been killed by you, there would be no need for Guan Changying to kill Zhao Qipeng.
“The result now is a completely different picture.
"It's a pity that Chu Huaifeng died inexplicably in your hands..."
"So, the person who saved Chu Huaifeng back then was you?"
More than ten years ago, Chu Huaifeng was knocked off a cliff. Before he died, Chu Qing asked him who saved him that year.
He said...it was Luo.
But even if this word was in front of him, how could Chu Qing connect this word with Luo Wushuang, who was ignorant and easily deceived by others?
How old was he more than ten years ago?
What ability do you have to save Chu Huaifeng?
“Although I wasn’t the one who saved him, I was indeed the one who took him away. His training of [Cold Corpse Record] was not very good, and it was difficult for him to survive with such an injury. It was because I knelt in front of my mentor for three days and three nights that I was able to buy him a glimmer of hope.
"It's a pity that he is so useless."
Luo Wushuang reached out and wiped off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true face.
What surprised Chu Qing, but not too much, was that the face under the mask was not Luo Wushuang's.
This face... is 70% similar to Guan Changying.
"Guan Changying didn't take action earlier or later, but chose to take action at this time. Is it because you happened to come to Taihengmen at this time in the name of the sword-granting ceremony!?"
Chu Qing squinted his eyes and looked at him:
"What is your relationship with Guan Changying?"
"I... am naturally his biological brother."
Luo Wushuang smiled and said:
“The two characters Qiluo, I chose Luo as my surname, and the two characters Wushuang were given by my mentor.
"Luo Wushuang greets the Third Young Master!"
