Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 109

Xia He was speechless, so he could only rack his brains to find a solution, but he didn't notice that the old man Mo Jing who was standing aside showed a playful smile, while Zhan Pozhen looked at the old man Mo Jing with a questioning look, Mo Jing The old man signaled with his eyes, telling Zhan Pozhen that the time has not come, so he should not express his position easily.

The friendship between Xia He and Ma Weiyuan is not deep, the only deeper relationship is to accept Ma Weiyuan's lion-tailed dragon and horse statue, knowing that Ma Weiyuan is all about seeking for the rise of the Ma family, and he will never be like Ma Tengkong, extreme enough to become demonized In addition, Ma Weiyuan's expression and tone that day were sincere and touching, not pretending, that's why Xiahe chose to trust Ma Weiyuan unconditionally.

Seeing that Xia He was speechless for a long time, Zhan Pozhen was prompted by the eyes of the old man Mo Jing, and his tone softened, "My disciple, if you don't have any other evidence, I can only ask you to go back today, but you don't have to worry. We will not embarrass Ma Weiyuan until the suspect is determined, you can go back and find more evidence to prove his innocence."

Xia He was really unwilling to leave just like that. Before he came, he was full of self-confidence, so he returned without success like this. It was really embarrassing to see Elder Zhenlian. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Senior, I heard that there is such a rule in the sect. Law, once an innocent person really can't prove his innocence, he can choose to fight to the death to determine his innocence."

The old man Mojing originally looked like an old god, but his hands trembled when he heard this, while Zhan Pozhen on the other side looked at the old man with doubts on his face, the old man Mojing coughed, and said, "Well, Xia He, there is such a rule, but it was a wartime exception during the Battle of Exterminating Demons thousands of years ago, isn't it inappropriate now?"

Xia He secretly cursed the spirit to absorb demons. Such an old law is still remembered. Now that the words have been spoken, he can only argue, "As far as my disciples know, this law was originally intended for the relatives and friends of the monks of the magic way at that time. If you want to prove If you are innocent, you have to fight a demon monk to the death. If you win, you can prove your innocence. If you lose, you can only be stigmatized. The current situation of Ma Weiyuan is similar to the conditions applicable to the law, and the law has not been abolished , so the disciples believe that life-and-death struggle is the only way to prove Ma Weiyuan's innocence."

The old man Mo Jing was irrefutable by Xia He's words, and said, "It's just that we haven't caught a demon monk now. Even if we want to start a life-and-death battle, Ma Weiyuan has no opponent."

Xia He said relaxedly, "This rule is to prove the innocence of the opponent. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. If there is no magic monk, he can be replaced by a captured immortal cultivator from Tumu Tianbao."

The old man Mo Jing looked at Zhan Pozhen, and he said hesitantly, "This disciple is right, but we can do this, but Ma Weiyuan is injured, and the chances of winning the life-and-death battle are not high. Is it unfair?"

Xia He was very surprised. The head of the Fourth War Department in front of him was so reasonable. Could it be that the old man Mo Jing said something to him, and he directly proposed his own suggestion, "Ma Weiyuan doesn't need to play by himself, since I'm here to prove it for him Innocently, I should be the one to take part in the battle of life and death, Senior Zhan, from now on, Ma Weiyuan's affairs will be borne by me alone."

Speaking of this, Zhan Pozhen couldn't help but said to the old man Mojing, "Uncle Mojing, is this really okay? Will Elder Zhenlian have any doubts?"

Only then did Xia He know the reason for Zhan Pozhen's politeness. It turned out that Zhan Pozhen knew his identity a long time ago. He knew that the real caller in the inner hall was the old man Mojing. decide."

The old man Mojing waved his hand and said, "Your master and I are close friends. You can call me uncle from now on. You don't need to meet outsiders. To be honest, today I am entrusted by your master to help you ask the head of Zhanbu Speaking of which, originally letting Ma Weiyuan out was just for you to find a few more disciples to vouch for him, but now that you propose a life-and-death struggle, I am afraid things will not be so good."

Xia He really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, he should have thought a long time ago that with the appearance of the old man Mojing, how could Zhan Pozhen make things difficult for him, maybe he could rescue Ma Weiyuan just by messing around for a while, but he made a foolish move, On the contrary, it is really the price of impulsiveness to keep everyone present from stepping down.

Now that Xia He had spoken, he couldn't take it back, so he said bravely, "Once a disciple speaks out, it's hard to chase after him. If there is no life-and-death struggle, the suspicion on Ma Weiyuan will be difficult to clear up. Please also ask Master and Zhan Buzhu to Arrange a life-and-death battle."

The old man Mo Jing didn't say anything for a long time, just when Xia He was terrified to guess what he was thinking, the old man Mo Jing clapped his hands and praised, "Okay, as expected of a true disciple, he really has a chivalrous spirit. I am a disciple, but I didn’t miss it. Xiahe, this old man will tell you the truth, the struggle between life and death is settled.”

After finishing speaking, the old man Mo Jing asked Zhan Pozhen, "Master Zhan, can you provide candidates for the life-and-death battle?"

Zhan Pozhen patted his chest and said, "No problem, there are not a few immortal cultivators in Tumu Tianbao captured by the Fourth War Department. If you choose one at random, you can participate in the life-and-death battle."

The old man Mo Jing said solemnly, "You can't choose randomly, the candidate for the other side of the life-and-death struggle must match the strength of the participants, that is to say, the selected captives can only be stronger than Xia He, not lower than him. "

Glancing at Xia He worriedly, the old man Mojing said, "Xia He, you have not been in Zhenlian's sect for long, and Zhenlian probably didn't spend time teaching you all kinds of secret techniques, and those captured Tumu Tianbao immortal cultivators are all from the other party. The elites in the war department are extremely rich in fighting will and fighting skills, Xia He, you may not be their opponent."

Xia He knew that the old man Mojing was worried about him, but he couldn't clearly reveal his own strength, so he could only say boldly, "The fight of life and death is a life-and-death fight. Those with high cultivation base and strong strength will survive in the end, and this disciple is confident that he can win, so please rest assured, uncle."

The old man Mo Jing heard Xia He's bold words, and said with appreciation in his eyes, "Well, I didn't expect you to be brave enough to fight. You are really a talent to make. In this life-and-death battle, the old man will depend on your performance."

The Zhan Pozhen camera approached the old man Mo Jing, and said, "This disciple is so young and promising, if he can join the Fourth War Department, he will be promoted to Zhan Mou's position today."

The old man Mojing glared at him and said, "Xiahe is the only disciple of my brother Zhenlian, and he is going to inherit his mantle. How can he go to such a dangerous place as the war department?"

Zhan Pozhen made a mistake in flattering, so he could only smile awkwardly, but fortunately, the old man Mojing didn't take it seriously, and he forgot it after a while.

The news of the life-and-death struggle came out from the law enforcement hall, and immediately spread to all parts of the Sifang Xianzong. A disciple was about to participate in a life-and-death battle, and those high-level disciples laughed it off, but the low-level disciples were boiling. It has been a long time since I heard such a passionate rumor.

On the day of the life-and-death struggle, the disciples of Dongjianling, Beidaofeng and Xifayuan all gathered in the Law Enforcing Hall of Nangu Headquarters. They gathered in the law enforcement hall, but the law enforcement hall can organize the scene well, so that the disciples watching are in order.

Thousands of years after the Battle of Exterminating Demons, demonic monks have reappeared in the world, and the long-lost life-and-death struggle has also reappeared. Today, the world of cultivating immortals is once again showing a stormy momentum. The young and passionate disciples all feel that they are in a turbulent era. It is really exciting to jump into it and be a part of the wave.

Gong Langxie brought Leng Xuanyu, Zhu Cangsheng brought Ning Bufan and Lun Yingming, and Dugu Xiahou came to the Law Enforcement Hall alone. Gong Langxie and Zhu Cangsheng asked curiously when they saw Dugu Xiahou was alone without Xia He, "Brother Dugu, where is Brother Xia? Why didn't you come to see the life-and-death fight?"

Dugu Xiahou explained, "Xiahe went to Zhenlian's cave a long time ago and practiced under the disciple of the elder Zhenlian. He hasn't returned to his residence for a long time. , did not go to Xia He, thinking that if Xia He wants to come and see, he should meet him in front of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Zhu Cangsheng expressed his feelings and sighed, "Brother Xia is really a blessing. There are great monks in the Nascent Soul Stage who are around him at any time to personally train him. The future advancement will surely be rapid. In comparison, we people will pale in comparison."

Gong Langxie said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, don't underestimate yourself. You have your own luck, and others can't force it. Now, Brother Zhu is already a cultivation base in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Breaking through the golden core stage is just around the corner. When he joins the war department, he will definitely have something to do." .”

Dugu Xiahou looked at the dark crowd in front of the Law Enforcement Hall. There were more disciples who came to the Law Enforcement Hall today than those who went to kill Xiantai that day, but Xia He still did not show up. "Who are the disciples who participated in the life-and-death struggle today?"

A look of wisdom flashed in Gong Langxie's eyes, "I looked up the classics a few days ago, and I know the content of the life-and-death struggle. In order to prove their innocence, relatives and friends of the demon monks must fight to the death with a demon monk. If they win, they are innocent. Yes, if you lose, you will not only die but also bear the stigma. In life and death, there is no winner or loser, only life and death, which is very cruel."

Zhu Cangsheng's heart moved, and he said, "Could it be Ma Weiyuan, who has been widely rumored not long ago? He is Ma Tengkong's nephew. He has been under suspicion these days. To prove his innocence, there is no other way but to fight to the death."

Dugu Xiahou said, "Speaking of which, I have to mention Shi Yilang and Zhou Buming. They are really friends. They have been running around pleading for Ma Weiyuan these days. Unfortunately, their families are weak and they dare not get involved. Such a big case, although the two of them have come forward many times, they have had little effect."
