"As the saying goes: horses may stumble, and people may miss. How is this impossible?"

Facing Xue Hongmei's outburst, Qin Jianyuan said calmly, "Yan Hui suffered an accident and died here, which shows that she was destined to have such a disaster."

Yao Wuya:"..."

Elders: "..."

Chen Jin:"..."

In retrospect, Master Qin really likes to talk about the word "tribulation". When Chen Jin failed Qi Seed in training, he was criticized as "this Human Tribulation is unavoidable".

The so-called "Human Tribulation" is juxtaposed with the two great tribulations of heaven and earth. To sum up, it is nothing more than the eight characters "birth, old age, illness and death, love, hatred and hatred".

From this horoscope, many causes and effects, commitments, obsessions, etc. are derived.

These teachings are recognized by cultivators all over the world, and all living beings are not exempt from them.

Cultivation is for the purpose of overcoming calamities.

But in the current situation, Qin Jianyuan said in front of Xue Hongmei that Yan Hui deserved such a disaster, which seemed a bit bullying.

As expected, Xue Hongmei was furious. "Qin Jianyuan, do you mean that Yan Hui should die?"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Yao Wuya immediately said, "Sister Master Xue, please sit down first and talk carefully if you have anything to say."

After a pause, he shouted, "Where are the boys on the left and right? Please escort Chen Jin to the side hall to wait for orders."

Chen Jin has finished describing the current situation, and there is no need to stay any longer. Next, the elders will make judgments and make judgments.

During the whole process, there was inevitably a lot of bickering and quarreling, and it was not appropriate for a disciple to listen in.

Immediately, two Daoist boys appeared, one on the left and one on the right, taking Chen Jin to the side hall.

Chen Jin naturally would not resist and came to the side hall.

The place is not big, and there is a Xuanmen Orthodox God enshrined in the center, with incense curling up and exuding a light fragrance.

Under the altar, a futon is placed.

Chen Jin walked over, bowed his head to the statue, made a salute, and then sat on the futon.

At this moment, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. Smelling the fragrance of the incense, he felt very comfortable. His mind couldn't help but relax. He leaned his head against the altar, and after a while, he fell asleep.

When the two boys saw each other, one of them said calmly, "Senior Brother Chen is so honest and sincere that he can actually sleep at this time."

After that, he went out, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

In fact, it is just a show. Now that Lower Court has closed the mountain, no matter how powerful Chen Jin is, it will be difficult for him to fly.

But there was a moment of silence in the main hall of the Senate.

Yao Wuya rubbed his forehead and asked, "Junior Brother Ma, what do you think?"

As the elder who was in charge of the sword fighting arena, he watched helplessly as Chen Jin killed Yan Hui. With such a mistake, Ma Long was guilty of negligence. He stood up and acted as the leader. "Great elder, sister Master Xue, Ma Mou hereby apologizes."

Xue Hongmei snorted coldly and did not respond.

Yao Wuya coughed dryly. "Junior brother Ma, the matter of pleading guilty will be postponed for now. I just want to know what happened at that time?"

The same thing, different people, different perspectives, will have different views and opinions, which are intertwined and can be used as evidence.

Ma Long thought for a while and stated.

In fact, the whole thing is not complicated. During the sword duel, Yan Hui took the lead and relied on his superiority in cultivation to keep suppressing Chen Jin, while Chen Jin struggled to support himself.

"Now it seems that Chen Jin deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, paralyzed Yan Hui, and even deceived me."

Hearing this, Xue Hongmei immediately said, "Everyone has heard it. This Chen Jin clearly planned carefully and finally killed the killer in a surprise attack."

Qin Jianyuan said calmly, "Using strategy and tactics to fight the weak against the strong, which sect rule does this violate?"

Xue Hongmei said bitterly, "He violated the prohibition by killing his fellow disciples."

Qin Jianyuan shrugged. "I told you it was a mistake."

Xue Hongmei did not argue with him and asked Ma Long directly, "Brother Ma, do you think Chen Jin made a mistake or did it on purpose?"

Ma Long pondered for a moment and then said, "It happened so fast that even I didn't react. I originally thought that I was going to save Chen Jin..."

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "As you said, I have been deceived. What is certain is that when Chen Jin takes action, he will go all out and will not hold back at all."

Hearing this, Xue Hongmei seemed to have obtained evidence and said loudly, "Did you hear that? Senior Brother Ma said that Chen Jin didn't hold back at all. He killed Yan Hui. According to the sect's rules, the debt must be paid with blood, one life for another."

Qin Jianyuan sneered, "What nonsense is this? On Sword Competition, the disciples competed on stage to compete for victory and ranking. Which one would not go all out and do the best? In the fourth round, Zhao Qianye took the initiative to give way out of gratitude, but you said that he passively avoided it and lost the sword sect's face. But it was Chen Jin's turn to try his best, and you said that he deliberately killed people... Haha, you can tell me how dare you."

Xue Hongmei is speechless.

Qin Jianyuan continued, "According to the situation at that time, Chen Jin had no retreat. If he wanted to win, he had to make a desperate move, so he used his flying sword and made a last-ditch effort. Who knew that Yan Hui couldn't escape? And who knew that Brother Ma didn't come to the rescue in time? All in all, Chen Jin had no fault in this matter."

Ma Long was silent for a moment and said dryly, "It was Ma's negligence."

Qin Jianyuan comforted, "Senior Brother Ma, you don't have to blame yourself. Throughout the years, when disciples of equal strength took the stage to compete with each other, no one held back when the real fire was fired. The fierce fight inevitably caused some damage. In fact, this is one of the main purposes of Sword Competition, to determine the winner and the loser. Should we ask the disciples to take two wooden swords and point them to the end? It's not like playing house."

What he said was all true. Over the years, when entering the last two or three rounds, there were injuries in every fight, many of them seriously injured.

But at the last moment, some elders intervened, or the swordsmen held back, so no disciples died on the stage.

This time, it's an exception.

Exceptions due to various unexpected factors.

Xue Hongmei suddenly stood up and said word by word, "Great Elder, Chen Jin returned to the mountain this time and behaved in various ways that are contrary to common sense. I propose to Heart Questioning him. If he is determined to kill Yan Hui because of some hatred, you can definitely ask."

Yao Wuya's eyes flashed, and he habitually asked Ma Long first, "Junior Brother Ma, what do you think?"

Ma Long replied, "I agree."

Yao Wuya looked at the second elder Sun Yiming, who also received a vote of approval:

"I have no objection."

Yao Wuya nodded slightly. "Since there is a dispute about this matter, there is no harm in asking Heart Questioning. If Chen Jin made it unintentionally, it is an accident and can be dealt with as appropriate; but if he harbors hatred and intends to harm his fellow disciples, then the nature of the matter will be different. Brother Master Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Jianyuan curled his lips. "You all passed with four votes, what can I say? Hey, evil people are rampant in this world, good people are wronged, have no way to appeal, and are tortured. It's really strange and strange!"

Yao Wuya:"..."

I knew in my heart that he was just using the topic to complain, so I ignored him.
