Chapter 255: [Mount Longxue] Convicted

The kiss lasted for a long time before the Emperor Ta finally let him go. Chu Wanning thought that the Emperor Ta Ta would stop there, but unexpectedly, their lips touched again.

After repeating this many times, the Emperor Ta was finally satisfied. He licked his lips and stared at Chu Wanning's face with his dark eyes.

"It hasn't changed. It's you."

There were too many things to ask, and too many changes. Chu Wanning was silent for a moment before he finally said in a hoarse voice, "… Do you still remember what happened in the past?"

"Of course."

"Do you still remember how you died?"

The Emperor Ta's expression was a little gloomy, "The ten great sects joined hands to besiege me, and I hated it."

"Then do you still remember how I died?"

The gloominess between the Emperor Ta's eyebrows faded a little, but it was covered with another layer of grey, "Treading in Snow Palace, you blocked my plan, and I hate you very much."

Chu Wanning asked again, "Then, do you remember how you came back from the dead?"

"Hua Bi 'nan saved me."

"What are the details?"

"Since …" But he didn't say anything more, and the Emperor Ta's face gradually showed a trace of fear. But this fear didn't last long, and he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were clear.

The Emperor Ta frowned, "What did you just say?"

Chu Wanning didn't say anything.

He more or less knew what Shi Mei had done to this body. Since ancient times, people's hearts were the most difficult to control. After Mo Ran died, Shi Mei couldn't completely control the emotions of this body, and he didn't dare to make Mo Ran's already disordered memories even more fragmented, so he had to choose a very small number of important things that would affect Mo Ran's obedience and erase them.

The Emperor Ta in front of him was probably just a walking dead weapon.

Chu Wanning closed his eyes. After a while, he seemed to want to say something, but before he could, there was a taste of blood in his throat. He coughed violently.

"Mo Ran …" His lips were stained with blood. He looked up with misty eyes. "Don't work for others anymore. You are already an empty shell, you should have already laid to rest. You … cough, cough. "

His vision turned black, and the scattered fragments began to surge upward again.

You should go back to the past. You should be sleeping in the ground. This place does not belong to you.

However, he no longer had the strength to say these words. Chu Wanning only moved his lips before his consciousness began to fade again.

In the end, he only saw the Emperor Ta frowning and saying something to him. That handsome but pale face seemed to be a little anxious.

"Chu Wanning." He vaguely heard him calling his name, just like in his past life. "Wanning …"

He closed his eyes, and the pain of his soul fusing once again assaulted him. What happened after that, he no longer knew.

Thousands of mountains away, the forest was bleak.

In the center of Sichuan, it had been drizzling for the past few days. Even the wooden lattice of the relay station had a layer of fine mold. Looking out from the window of the relay station, a string of water droplets fell from the bamboo leaves and fell into the pool, creating little ripples.

Suddenly, a pair of shoes stepped into the pool of water, and the sky and clouds shattered.

Grandmaster Mo appeared in front of the winding mountain path at the peak of life and death.

After the shocking incident at Dragon Blood Mountain, his spiritual power had not recovered, so he could not fly on the sword. Because he was worried about the safety of the peak of life and death, he rushed back from Dragon Blood Mountain without stopping, spending a total of four days.

On the way back, he actually thought about many things.

For example, why was he reborn? For example, why did Chu Wanning in his past life set up such a mystery in the cave of Dragon Blood Mountain? For example, Shi Mei.

After thinking for a long time, he could not find a clear answer.

He was not a smart person to begin with. Now that he was suffering and worried left and right, he could not calm down and think carefully. After all, Shi Mei understood him. Chu Wanning was his weak spot. As long as Chu Wanning remembered the past, there was no doubt that he would be sentenced to death. His heart was in a mess. The rain gradually became heavier. Mo Ran stood at the entrance of the peak of life and death, facing the wind. He raised his head, and wisps of silver frost fell on his face. In front of him, there was a winding stone staircase leading to the peak of the mountain.

He had walked this mountain path in life, in death, in sorrow, and in happiness. He had walked this path countless times in his two lives. From the time when he was young and inexperienced, to the time when the dust had settled and he returned with a guilty conscience.

The weather was very cold. The rain mixed with snow fell, wetting his black clothes and dyeing his hair.

The young man originally had no worries, but the north wind blew the snow and turned his hair white …

Mo Ran closed his eyes and walked up the stairs to the top of the mountain.

A sinner who walked into a trap finally pushed open the red lacquered door of the Dan Xin Palace.

The door slowly opened. The madness, glory, nightmares, and darkness of his two lives were all here.

He remembered his previous life. When he was twenty-two years old, he changed his Dan Xin to Mount Wu. The plaque was smashed and dust filled the air. He stood in front of the old plaque and swore that he would trample all the immortals and rule the world. That life fell here, and this life should also end here.

The Dan Xin Palace was densely packed with people. The number of people here was even more than the time when he suppressed Xu Shuanglin on Jiao Mountain.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone turned around and saw a tall man in black standing in front of the door. His face was pale, and there were a few strands of wet black hair on his forehead. The sky was reversed behind him. The dome was lead-gray, and the rain and snow were falling.

No one expected that Mo Ran would suddenly appear like this.

Was he the hero on Jiao Mountain who exchanged his life for everyone's safety? Or was he the devil who killed without spilling blood? What kind of person was he?

For a moment, no one said anything. Everyone stared at the man who had just returned.

Those who trusted him thought he was very pitiful. He was wet and cold, like a hound returning home in the rain. Those who did not trust him only thought he was terrifying. He was gloomy and dark, like a ghost who had crawled out of hell.

The rain kept knocking on the roof ridge and green eaves, seeping into the cracks of the stone in front of the stairs and moss on the roof tiles.

Mo Ran raised his dark eyes. Under his fan-like eyelashes, his eyes were wet. He said softly, "Uncle, I'm back."

"Ran Er! Why are you alone? "

Xue Zhengyong sat in the seat of honor. He looked very bad. It was rare that he did not care about his appearance. He spread his iron fan on the table casually. The words "The world is ugly" gleamed, like a comment on a farce.

"Where's Yu Heng?"

When Mo Ran stepped into the hall, he was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil that had been heated to a hundred percent, causing a crackling sound. Almost everyone took a big step back when he stepped in front of them.

"Mo Ran!"

"Devil, you have the face to come out!"

"You killed so many people on the night of the Lone Moon, and you still dare to show yourself!"

Mo Ran did not pay attention to these voices. Along the way, he had already heard about the murder that happened on the night of the Lone Moon. He knew very well how insane the Celestial Treading Monarch was. What was a few dozen people? Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands. Everyone in the world was dead in his eyes. It was only the night of the Lone Moon. The Emperor Ta did not care at all.

"Madman … You and Hua Bi 'nan are in cahoots!"

"What else do you want to do? Today, all the masters of the sects are here. The Master of the Heavenly Music Pavilion will be here soon. Even if you are full of tricks and change your mind, you can't escape this inescapable trap! "

"Mo Ran, you're too cunning. You're playing the good cop and bad cop. You've confused everyone and then your evil plan will succeed. You're so vicious!"

All around him was a tidal wave of criticism and questioning. Angry faces were surging. Mo Ran did not pay attention to anyone. He continued to walk forward. He more or less understood Hua Bi 'nan's intention. Forgive him for not calling him Shi Mei.

Hua Bi 'nan had dug a grave for him. He had even written the inscription on the tombstone. Hua Bi 'nan had calculated very clearly that he would jump in himself.

Because, when Chu Wanning recalled his past life, Mo Weiyu had already judged himself to be a dead body that could not be saved.

It was over.

"No matter how many masks you wear on your face, today, heroes are gathered here. We will expose your true colors."

"We must send you to the Heavenly Music Pavilion to be executed!"

It was a hubbub of voices. The words that pierced his eardrums the most were the words "Heavenly Music Pavilion."

Mo Ran did not expect Hua Bi 'nan to drag the Heavenly Music Pavilion into this. Was it a coincidence? Or had it been planned?

The mighty Heavenly Music Pavilion was an ancient sect that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Cultivation World. The head of this sect was originally the son of a deity and a mortal. Later on, it was passed down from generation to generation. Generation after generation, although the blood of the head of the Heavenly Music Pavilion was thin, it was still full of spiritual energy. Although the Heavenly Music Pavilion did not usually involve itself in the mortal world, just like how mortals believed in cultivators, cultivators also believed in the fairness of the Heavenly Music Pavilion.

It was already difficult to overthrow the authority of a hundred years, let alone a thousand years. Therefore, even though the Emperor Ta had sought to rule the world in his previous life, he had still left the Heavenly Music Pavilion as a pure land. Shi Mei was very smart. It was best to hand Mo Ran over to the Heavenly Music Pavilion. No one would refuse to accept the verdict, and no one could refuse to accept the verdict.

The main hall was noisy. Mo Ran walked along the carpet embroidered with Du Ruo. He walked to the front and stood still.

"I …"

This man only said one word, and the hubbub of voices suddenly died down. They stared at him. Many of their eyes were filled with hatred and vigilance.

They were waiting for him to explain, for him to lose his composure, for him to make a mistake. They craned their necks, ready to pounce on this treacherous demon at any time and tear him to pieces.

It was hard to tell whether this person was good or evil. His actions were unpredictable, but they would rather kill by mistake than let him go. They had to — "I'm here to accept my punishment."

There was complete silence. It was even quieter than before.

It was as if they were sharpening their swords for a big battle. The sound of battle shook the heavens, but they suddenly found out that the enemy's general was already in his tent.

It was ridiculous.

"What did he say?"

After a while, someone reacted. He could not believe that this demon would admit his guilt so easily. He asked the person beside him in a low voice, "Did he say that he was here to accept his punishment?"

Mo Ran lowered his eyes and knelt down. He faced his uncle, auntie, and Xue Meng, whose face was as white as a sheet. The dim light shone on his handsome but thin face.

He was indeed going to be executed. However, since Hua Bi 'nan had plotted against him, he would not let that person get away with it. Before he confessed, he still had one more thing to do — —

He wanted to use his last bit of strength to protect the person he could no longer protect.

Thus, Mo Ran slowly opened his mouth. His voice was deep and burning.

"My hands are indeed stained with blood. Because of my personal enmity, I killed many people. Although I wanted to repent these past few years, my crimes are still unforgivable. Chu Wanning already knows about this … Today, in front of everyone, other than confessing my crimes, I also have another matter to announce. "

He paused. His words were like knives cutting into people's hearts. "Chu Wanning and I are no longer master and disciple."

Hearing this, most of the people present were stunned. "What's going on?"

It should be known that a master and disciple publicly breaking off their relationship was a huge scandal in the cultivation world. When this happened, no matter if it was the master or the disciple, it would be very embarrassing. Thus, as long as there was no blood feud, even if the relationship was not good, they would still put on a show.

After the shock, many people whispered, "Wasn't it fine before? Why did it suddenly become like this? Could it be that he wants to trick us? "

"It doesn't look like it. Could it be that something happened between them on Jiao Mountain?"

"It's possible … Chu Wanning doesn't seem to care much about his disciple. When Shi Mingjing was captured by Hua Bi'nan, didn't he also not help her? Later on, he even blinded her eyes … If I were his disciple, I would also be bitterly disappointed. "

The people's voices rose and fell like a tide.

In the midst of these voices, Mo Ran continued, "It's a small matter that he didn't tolerate me killing and setting fire, but it's a big matter that he treated me coldly and humiliated my dignity. This person talks about the common people of the world, but he treats his disciples badly. How hypocritical! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have reached this point. "

It was too painful.

He stopped talking. His lips and teeth were slightly trembling, but he still finished speaking word by word. He cut himself into a thousand pieces.

"It was him who harmed me. It was him who wronged me. I didn't get along with him. I was ashamed to have him as my master. Now, I have completely cut off all ties with Chu Wanning. In the future, if anyone still treats me as his disciple … "

He raised his eyes. They were a pair of Emperor Ta's eyes.

"That would be disgusting to me. I hope you won't mention it again!"

Xue Zhengyong was horrified. "Ran 'er —!"

Xue Meng's face was even paler. "Brother, are you crazy?! Do you know what you just said?! "

Mo Ran closed his eyes. He didn't want to look at anyone in Xue Meng's family. The word "brother" was like a sharp claw that pierced his heart.

Mo Ran continued, "Apart from that, I have one more thing to say."

"Just admit your guilt. There's no need for one, two, or three more things. You —"

Before that person finished complaining, he was stopped by the current leader of the immortals, Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi looked at Mo Ran. "… Please speak."

Mo Ran said, "My sins are grave. It's true that I admit my guilt and accept my punishment. However, the incident on Lonemoon Night was not my doing. "

Many of the immortals present were here to collect their blood debts. They were already very agitated. Hearing him deny the murder of Lonemoon Night, they couldn't help but be furious. They all spoke.

"Ha! What a joke! This is an iron-clad fact. What else do you have to argue about?! "

"That's right. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Mo Ran said, "I wasn't at Lonemoon Night at that time. At that time, Chu Wanning and I were both at Dragon Blood Mountain. The person who did this was someone else. And that person, if I'm not wrong, should be … "

He hesitated. He didn't immediately reveal the identity of the Emperor Ta.

He wasn't afraid of the anger of the crowd. He just thought that no one present would believe that the Gate of Life and Death had split open and that another Mo Ran had appeared.

"Who is it?"

Mo Ran pursed his lips. He decided to talk about the Emperor Ta later. He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he said, "I'll tell you who it is later. In short, that person colluded with Hua Bi'nan. One framed him on Lonemoon Night, and the other took Chu Wanning away. "

After he finished speaking, the crowd split into two groups.

The first group was weak, but they could be heard clearly. Most of them were from the disciples at the Peak of Life and Death. "What happened to Elder Yu Heng?!"

"Where was Elder Yu Heng taken to?!"

The other group was from the group that had come to denounce him.

"Mo Ran, do you think we'll believe you?"

"I don't know what kind of medicine you're selling in your gourd! What do you mean by someone else? I think you and Hua Bi'nan are in cahoots! On Jiao Mountain, the two of you colluded to put on a show! You didn't hesitate to kill so many people. You even disregarded the friendship between your fellow disciples and harmed Shi Ming Jing. You, you, you're a liar!! "

Hearing Shi Mei's name, Mo Ran slowly raised his head. He looked at Xue Zhengyong, then at Xue Meng. "Shi Mei, he …"

Xue Meng was worried. He rushed forward. "What happened to Shi Mei? Is he all right?! "

Mo Ran couldn't look him in the eye.

Seeing a person's broken appearance once was enough.

Mo Ran closed his eyes. "Shi Mei is Hua Bi'nan."

Dead silence.

After a while, Xue Meng suddenly fell back into his seat. He muttered, "What kind of joke is this? How is this possible …"

That's right. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, Mo Ran would also want to say, "How is this possible?" Shi Mei was obviously so gentle and so wonderful. The three of them had gone through so much together. To him, Shi Mei was the first true friend of the same generation in his life.

But this friendship was fake. It was nothing more than an illusion.

It was ridiculous.

The people around them started to talk. "What kind of nonsense is this?"

"He's crazy. How can such a small cultivator be the world's number one expert?"

"If Shi Mei is Hua Bi'nan, why did he help us get rid of the Heart Drilling Worm on Jiao Mountain?"

There were also people who were saved by Shi Mei on Jiao Mountain. They were very grateful to Shi Mei. At this moment, they didn't care about anything else. They pointed at him and said angrily, "Mo Ran, in order to wash away your sins, you actually said such a ridiculous thing. You're slandering us!"

At this time, Jiang Xi, who had been frowning and silent all this time, finally spoke.

"What evidence do you have to say that Hua Bi'nan is Shi Ming Jing?" Jiang Xi said, "Hua Bi'nan has been under my tutelage for many years. He almost never left Lonemoon's Night. If you say that he is Shi Ming Jing, then how could he appear in two places at the same time?
