Chapter 149: Great acting skills and such a thick skin!
A woman struggled to push through the crowd and shouted to Sang Luo, "Elder Sang, Elder Sang! I'm Si Chan from the Jade Maiden Sect. I heard that the Sanfeng Sect paid you a million a month to become a guest elder. We at the Jade Maiden Sect are willing to pay you two million!"
"If Elder Sang is unwilling to leave the Sanfeng Sect, our Yunv Sect can also use the 200 million to exchange for Elder Sang to come and guide us for a month... or even half a month!"
"Even a week is fine, as long as Elder Sang is willing to go..."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Priest Li immediately resigned himself: "Master Si, why are you openly poaching people?"
The others suddenly understood and started to make offers.
"Elder Sang, our Xuanfeng Sect is willing to pay 300 million!"
"We at Yunyu Palace are willing to pay 500 million! All it would take is for Elder Sang to go once."
Sang Luo pinched his brows and said, "No, what did you call me for?"
At this time, everyone remembered the reason why they called Sang Luo here in the first place.
A Taoist pointed at the sword in Sang Luo's hand and said, "Elder Sang, please help me see the origin of this sword..."
Another Taoist priest said disapprovingly: "Is it even worth looking at this? Isn't this just wasting Elder Sang's time? Didn't Elder Sang just say that this sword is no good?"
"Zhou Qidao, you actually just picked up a broken sword to fool us!"
As soon as these words were spoken, other Taoists also began to criticize.
"That's right, I was saying this. This sword is covered in dust. How can it be any good?"
"Zhou Qidao, what else do you have to say now?"
"Elder Sang said this sword is no good, so this sword definitely is no good!"
"Fortunately, Elder Sang is knowledgeable and experienced, otherwise we would have been fooled by you!"
Taoist Priest Li also echoed, "Master Zhou, you can't just make up a story about a sword just to exonerate Situ Xun!"
Everyone was even more indignant when they heard this.
"Zhou Qidao, do you still want to deny it now? Hand Situ Xun over immediately!"
"Zhou Qidao, as the leader of a sect, how could you shield your disciples from committing such evil deeds!"
"Master Zhou, it's fine that you blindly protected Situ Xun, but you actually teased us like this. If you don't give us an explanation, don't blame me for having no place for your Lingxiao Sect in Xuanmen in the future!"
Sang Luo stood behind the crowd, holding a sword, and looked at everyone leisurely.
Feeling the dissatisfaction coming from the sword in his arms, Sang Luo patted the sword gently to soothe it.
The Lingxiao Sect's headmaster looked straight at Sang Luo and said, "Elder Sang, I heard that your parents also died in Xiuyang Village. Is this true?"
Sang Luo nodded.
Everyone's eyes flickered between Sang Luo and the leader of Lingxiao Sect, and they were a little confused about the purpose of the leader's question.
The Lingxiao Sect leader continued, "So, you were there when the villagers of Xiuyang Village died?"
Sang Luo nodded again.
Everyone was a little surprised.
"Elder Sang, were you also in Xiuyang Village at that time?"
"Elder Sang, do you know what happened?"
"Elder Sang, did Situ Xun take the ghost's treasure, causing the ghost to become enraged and harm the villagers of Xiuyang Village?"
"Elder Sang, can you see clearly what that treasure is?"
Everyone started asking questions, and the Lingxiao Sect's leader shouted angrily, "Elder Sang, why didn't you save over a hundred lives of the villagers in that village, including your parents?"
Sang Luo spread his hands and said, "I can't save them! When I woke up, they were all dead."
The leader of the Lingxiao Sect was filled with indignation.
"You are quibbling!"
"Since you are so powerful, saving those people from the clutches of that monster shouldn't be easy, right?"
"But you watched helplessly as the villagers of that village died before your eyes. Do you think that this is worthy of your abilities?"
"Or did you do it on purpose? I think you were the one who spread the rumor that there was a magical weapon in the spiritual jade!"
Sang Luo raised his eyebrows.
"The person who broke into the ghost tomb and took away the ghost treasure was Situ Xun."
"It was Situ Xun who lured the ghosts into Xiuyang Village, constantly provoking them until they lost their minds, causing them to attack indiscriminately and killing an entire village."
"I just happened to survive this disaster and awakened my memories of my past life."
"I was just an ordinary person at that time. How could you ask me to save him?"
"What's more, if Situ Xun had discovered that there were still people alive, do you think I would have survived?"
"As for the rumor that there's a magical weapon in the Lingyu, isn't that what ghosts said? What does it have to do with me?"
"Could it be possible that I can control ghosts?"
Taoist Priest Li: “…”
We dare not say...
If I hadn't seen you instructing the goblins, I would have almost believed it...
You know what, Elder Sang has great acting skills and is so shameless!
When Sang Luo said this, his eyes were red and he looked so pitiful.
"If I could control ghosts, how could my parents die in this disaster?"
"Before this, I didn't even know who Situ Xun was. Was it worth it for me to risk my parents' lives to plot against him?"
"Besides, why are you blaming me, the victim, instead of blaming the person who caused all this?"
"If it weren't for Situ Xun, all the villagers in this village would still be alive and well, and my parents wouldn't be dead!"
"I also ask all the Taoist priests of the Xuanmen Sect to give me justice!"
Everyone heard the words and agreed.
"Zhou Qidao, you are too shameless. Instead of blaming Elder Sang here, you might as well go back and ask your good disciple what he did!"
"Situ Xun is the one who started it all. How dare you blame Elder Sang?"
"Zhou Qidao, quickly hand over Situ Xun and the treasure he got!"
The leader of the Lingxiao Sect snorted coldly.
"I told you, the spiritual jade has shattered, and this sword fell out!"
"The people in that village were also killed by ghosts. What does that have to do with Situ Xun?"
"He didn't kill the person!"
"Can you just believe those people's one-sided words and conclude that those villagers were killed by Situ Xun?"
"Even if I take a step back, I've already handed over the things. He's a disciple of my Lingxiao Sect. Even if I have to punish him, it should be my Lingxiao Sect!"
"Since you insist he's wrong, how about I put him in solitary confinement for a year when I get back?"
Everyone was very angry, but there was nothing they could do.
The leader of Lingxiao Sect is right.
They had previously put pressure on Lingxiao Sect by taking advantage of the Xiuyang Village incident to force Lingxiao Sect to hand over what Situ Xun had obtained.
But it is really difficult for them to interfere in the matter of punishing Situ Xun.
After all, Situ Xun is a direct disciple of Lingxiao Sect. Even if these members of Xuanmen are dissatisfied, they can only use the power of Xuanmen to threaten Lingxiao Sect.
But if a fight really breaks out, it will be troublesome!
