Chapter 487 - 275: Luo Wushuang!
Chapter 487: Chapter 275: Luo Wushuang!
This scene left many Jianghu people witnessing it in the venue utterly amazed.
Even the disciples of the Taiheng Sect were looking at each other in confusion... completely clueless about what was happening.
Guan Changying was clearly here, conducting the sword-bestowing ceremony.
Why would he die in the coffin brought by Chu Qing?
If the one in the coffin is Guan Changying, then who is this person standing in front of everyone now?
Tang Qianyu stroked his chin, his eyes flickering with surprise.
Ye Wanqiu’s gaze shifted back and forth between the two Guan Changying, examining each, as if distinguishing who was Li Kui and who was Li Gui.
Only Lan Shuyi’s eyes flashed with sudden realization:
"So that’s how it is, is it really like this?"
Cheng Tieshan suddenly slapped the back of his chair and stood up directly:
"What a treacherous villain, so that’s how it is!"
He pointed his finger at the "Guan Changying" standing in front of the elders of the Taiheng Sect:
"You killed Li Junmo, you killed Guan Changying, then disguised yourself, framing the Third Young Master.
"You used the identity of the Young Sect Leader of the Taiheng Sect to stir up trouble, what a tactic!!"
This wasn’t hard to guess, but after Cheng Tieshan said this, it made all those present, who were bewildered, suddenly comprehend the situation.
"It really was a set-up! I thought Guan Changying was framing the Third Young Master, but it turned out to be an impostor!"
"Who exactly is this person? He impersonated Guan Changying, and the people of the Taiheng Sect couldn’t even tell?"
"What a sinister scheme! If he’s allowed to succeed, what could be the consequences?"
As the crowd discussed fervently, Chu Qing looked at the "Guan Changying":
"At this point, do you intend to speak yourself, or shall I speak for you?"
"... What do you want to say?"
The "Guan Changying" looked at Chu Qing silently, with an expression that remained calm, showing no signs of panic after being exposed.
Chu Qing glanced at the Guan Changying in the coffin and spoke softly:
"The person who killed Zhao Qipeng was indeed Guan Changying.
"This matter, I know, Lan Shuyi knows, and Li Junmo knows as well.
"However... Li Junmo was truly kind to the son of his old fellow disciple, who is now his cherished disciple.
"Even knowing that he killed Zhao Qipeng, he did not expose him, instead helping to conceal the truth.
"At the core of it, it’s because Guan Changying is a promising talent, the best of his generation, excelling in both intellect and martial arts, making him the most suitable Sect Leader for Taiheng Sect.
"Though I am unclear about the exact events of that night, judging from the situation after Li Junmo’s death, it seems that Guan Changying came to find Li Junmo.
"Even though Li Junmo had declared he was in seclusion, Guan Changying logically shouldn’t have disturbed him at that time...
"However, another incident happened that night, causing Guan Changying to come specifically to check."
"What incident?"
Tang Qianyu couldn’t help but ask.
He was becoming more and more interested in this matter.
If it was just the Taiheng Sect trying to frame Chu Qing, it wouldn’t be worth much attention.
After all, given Chu Qing’s abilities, this matter would certainly amount to nothing.
But now that such a twist has occurred, it makes the whole matter even more mysterious and baffling.
Now hearing Chu Qing mention that another incident happened that night, he couldn’t help but be curious about what exactly happened.
"A Recluse from the Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Sin, posing as a Taiheng Sect disciple, assassinated Li Junmo!"
Chu Qing said this and glanced at Lan Shuyi:
"This incident was witnessed by ’Thousand Threads Soul-Stabilizing Hand’ Lan Shuyi from Ding’an Hall, and me."
Lan Shuyi stood up:
"Indeed, at that time, Sect Leader Li was caught off guard, injured by the Heart-Damaging Soul-Breaking Finger of the Recluse, and was on the brink of death, it was the Third Young Master who intervened to save him.
"That’s how Sect Leader Li managed to keep his life.
"Therefore, from the very start, I did not believe the Third Young Master killed Sect Leader Li.
"Because that night, before the news of Sect Leader Li’s death was spread, I was with the Third Young Master, dealing with the remaining three assassins from the Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Sin."
"There was indeed such a matter?"
Ye Wanqiu couldn’t help but give Lan Shuyi a cold look:
"You’re indeed faithless. Since the Third Young Master was with you, it was impossible for him to kill Sect Leader Li. Why didn’t you speak up at that time?
"Why didn’t you testify for the Third Young Master when someone doubted him earlier?"
" ..."
Lan Shuyi was speechless for a moment. To Chu Qing that night, the truth wasn’t important anymore.
Moreover, there was no need for him to testify.
At that time, Chu Qing was provoked by the Taiheng Sect disciples, intent on a killing spree.
What he said or didn’t say made no difference to the outcome.
Besides, the people of the Taiheng Sect only believed what they wanted to believe, and if he had spoken out and the Taiheng Sect didn’t believe him, he would have had no way to remain in the Taiheng Sect.
It was better to keep silent for a while and testify later.
The timing of the testimony also needed to be handled properly, and now was the perfect time.
But the details inside, he had no reason to explain to Ye Wanqiu.
Anyway, this woman held a deep prejudice against him, so he didn’t care what image he had in her mind.
The events of that night, most of which Chu Qing had already talked about earlier, skipping the confrontation with Li Junmo in the Calm Heart Cave, Chu Qing spoke in a deep voice:
"People from the Mirror of Sin quietly appeared in the Calm Heart Cave; given the guard of the Taiheng Sect, with the Recluse’s skills, it would be impossible to achieve such a goal without alerting anyone.
"Considering the grudge between Guan Changying and the Taiheng Sect... some truths are not difficult to speculate.
