Even if you are the Heavenly Master's disciple, you must explain yourself clearly. " "It seems the Honored Goddess Feng Gou does not know what her own disciples have done.
" The alarm on Shen Mu's face vanished; plainly he had let out a great breath of relief. His gaze earnest, he said, "Feng Gou, your disciple Guan He and those junior brothers of hers have already thrown in with the demon race and meant to do me harm.
I had no choice but to strike ruthlessly, or my life would not have been safe. " Tianfeng Gou gave a soft "oh" and said, "If Sect Master Shen says my disciples turned traitor, surely you can produce evidence? " Shen Mu picked up the two jade eyes and retreated slowly.
"Honored Goddess Feng Gou, please follow me. " He withdrew step by step, the two jade eyes still held steady in his hands, ready for any turn. The Dragon Qilin, carrying the little fox, was also retreating slowly, and behind their backsides the nine silly roe deer were still butting away at them, dogged as could be. Shen Mu retreated little by little to the small mountain village, into the village itself, and said in a low voice, "Feng Gou, look. " Tianfeng Gou looked at the corpse of the demon-race expert of the Heaven-Man realm, and her pupils narrowed slightly. Shen Mu said, "These traces left by divine abilities should all be the divine abilities of Feng Gou's disciples, should they not?
And not the divine ability of one person, but of five.
Guan He told me that she fought this demon expert and spent a great deal of effort before she cut him down. Then why are there traces of five people's divine abilities? " Tianfeng Gou said mildly, "It is also possible that Guan He claimed credit that was not hers. " "Can the Honored Goddess Feng Gou truly not see the fatal wound on the corpse?
You are a master of the sword; you should be able to tell. To pierce and slay the primordial spirit of this demon expert with a single sword in so short a time, the distance must have been extremely close.
" Shen Mu said in a low voice, "From the corpse's expression, he never imagined Guan He would strike at him; that is why his face shows astonishment.
Guan He was so close to him, and he was off guard, and she cut down his primordial spirit. Could that happen between enemies? Since they were not enemies, then they must have been friends. Do the Honored Goddess Feng Gou's disciples collude with the demon race?
Is more evidence needed? " Tianfeng Gou's eyes flickered.
"It is needed," she said softly.
"I am still somewhat puzzled. If she colluded with the demon race, then why did Guan He kill a demon? " "Because she needed this demon expert's head to win my trust. " Shen Mu went on, "Only so could she approach me without hindrance. Look again, Honored Goddess Feng Gou: is there any divine ability of the demon race here?
If this was a contest of blows, then why did this demon expert die without unleashing a single divine ability?
With your eye, Feng Gou, seeing this is not difficult. " Tianfeng Gou's face was expressionless. "And what else? " Shen Mu said, "The traces of divine abilities here make the fight look fierce, yet no divine ability destroyed this small mountain village, nor even touched it in the slightest.
That shows all five of them took part, and that four of them used their divine abilities here in this village to tamper with the scene. Surely this too counts as evidence? " Tianfeng Gou let out a turbid breath, and a faint smile appeared on her expressionless face. "Sect Master Shen sees the smallest detail," she said softly. "It seems my disciples did indeed throw in with the demon race. It was my failure of judgment in taking disciples, and it nearly bred a great disaster.
" The Snow Fox looked doubtful and glanced at Shen Mu. But Shen Mu was as though a heavy weight had lifted from him.
He smiled and said, "No blame attaches to the unknowing.
