97: Past, pine

Chapter 97: The Past, Cang Song

Originally, Dao Xuan had wanted to continue questioning and investigating further to confirm whether Cang Song had truly betrayed the Qingyun Sect.

After all, it was just as he had said.

Cang Song was one of the seven Head Seats of the Qingyun Sect, the Head Seat of Dragon Head Peak, with a noble status. The matter was significant.

Even if 99% of the evidence pointed to Cang Song, and he suspected Cang Song, he couldn't arbitrarily convict him. The evidence had to be conclusive.

But now, with Cang Song's words, the right and wrong were clear at a glance.

For a moment, Dao Xuan's expression darkened, and Junior Sister Shui Yue was also filled with anger.

Only Su Han watched Cang Song calmly.

Dao Xuan sighed softly.

"It seems there's no need to investigate further!"

At this point, Junior Sister Shui Yue glared at Cang Song and questioned him, "Cang Song, as one of the Head Seats of our Qingyun Sect, why did you collude with the Demon Sect's evil people?"

"Moreover!"

"Cang Song, don't you know what kind of person Head Disciple Brother is?"

"What face do you have to say such words, calling Head Disciple Brother hypocritical?"

"Could it be that you have a reason for betraying our Qingyun Sect?"

Hearing Junior Sister Shui Yue's question, Cang Song gripped the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand and sneered.

"What kind of person is Dao Xuan? I know much more than you, Junior Sister Junior Sister Shui Yue!"

"As for betrayal?"

"I, Cang Song, have never betrayed the Qingyun Sect..."

"Or rather!"

"Dao Xuan, he is the one who deserves to die for betraying the Qingyun Sect!"

Saying this, Cang Song drew the Dragon Slaying Sword, "Dao Xuan, you scoundrel, do you recognize this sword?"

Dao Xuan looked at Cang Song and the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, and sighed softly.

"Of course I recognize it."

"Dragon Slaying Sword, Senior Brother Wan held this sword back then, roaming the Savage Holy Palace, how unrestrained and elegant..."

"Shut up!"

Before Dao Xuan could finish speaking, Cang Song roared angrily.

"Dao Xuan, you hypocrite, you are not worthy of mentioning Senior Brother Wan!"

"Back then, in order to gain the position of Sect Head, you used unscrupulous means against Senior Brother Wan, ultimately causing his death..."

"Others may have forgotten about this, but I will never forget!"

"Since you could kill Senior Brother Wan and still brazenly act as the high and mighty Qingyun Sect Leader, why can't I avenge Senior Brother Wan?"

Saying this, Cang Song formed a sword art with his fingers, thunder light surged in his hand, and he glared at Dao Xuan.

"It's just a pity that no matter how much I calculated, I didn't expect you to discover it in advance, leading to the failure of my efforts!"

"Forget it!"

"I have also endured for too many years..."

"Since you already know, today either you die, or I perish!"

Listening to Cang Song's words, Junior Sister Shui Yue subconsciously looked at Dao Xuan.

However, Dao Xuan ignored the confusion in Junior Sister Shui Yue's eyes, looked at Cang Song opposite him, shook his head, and sighed softly.

"Indeed, everything is still for Senior Brother Wan..."

Dao Xuan looked at Cang Song again at this moment.

"A battle is also fine!"

"But I still have some things to ask you!"

"Were the innocent villagers of Caomiao Village at the foot of Qingyun Sect's mountain killed by you?"

"And that Bai Du Zi?"

"Did you send him to Xiao Zhu Peak to ambush Su Han?"

Cang Song stood in the sky at this moment, the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand crackling with lightning, and dark clouds gathered in the sky, clearly intending to use the Divine Sword Lightning Leading True Skill.

But when he heard Dao Xuan's question, he seemed somewhat surprised.

"Bai Du Zi went to ambush Su Han?"

Saying this, Cang Song looked at Su Han.

"Did Bai Du Zi really go to ambush you?"

Junior Sister Shui Yue stepped forward at this moment, shielding Su Han behind her, "Bai Du Zi wasn't sent by you?"

Although she asked this, Junior Sister Shui Yue looked at Cang Song's surprised expression and vaguely understood that it was highly probable that none of this was done by Cang Song.

And when Cang Song heard Junior Sister Shui Yue's question, he was no longer in a frenzy.

After all, he had only hated Dao Xuan from beginning to end, and had no significant hostility towards the Qingyun Sect and Junior Sister Shui Yue.

Therefore, Cang Song nodded.

"Naturally."

"Su Han is a Genius of our Qingyun Sect. How could I possibly let Bai Du Zi harm Su Han?"

"After all, the Qingyun Sect is also Senior Brother Wan's home."

"If it weren't absolutely necessary, I wouldn't want the Qingyun Sect to suffer any losses."

"I told him back then not to attack Su Han..."

"Otherwise, I would definitely kill him."

"Now it seems he took my words as wind blowing past his ears!"

Saying this, Cang Song looked at Junior Sister Shui Yue and Su Han, "Junior Sister Junior Sister Shui Yue, Su Han."

"If I am fortunate enough to survive this time, I will definitely kill Bai Du Zi in the future!"

Immediately, Cang Song turned his head to look at Dao Xuan again.

"I don't know where you heard about the matter of Caomiao Village."

"But I, Cang Song, am not a hypocrite like you. The deaths of the villagers of Caomiao Village have nothing to do with me."

"That day, when I fought against Master Puzhi, it never affected civilians."

"Even Jing Yu was right beside me and Master Puzhi, and he remained unharmed."

After saying this, Cang Song chanted the incantation, "Nine Heavens Profound Void, transform into divine lightning, the majestic power of heaven, guided by the sword!"

As the lightning struck, Cang Song looked at Dao Xuan and shouted, "I have said everything I needed to say!"

"As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business!"

"Come, fight!"

"Today, I will avenge Senior Brother Wan!"

Listening to Cang Song's explanation, the killing intent in Dao Xuan's eyes gradually subsided, and he let out another long sigh.

His thoughts drifted back to many years ago...

Looking at the current Cang Song, the sense of debt towards Wan Jianyi in his heart... became even heavier.

Back then, it was clearly him and Wan Jianyi who faced the demonized Master together, and in the end, for the sake of Master's reputation, they reluctantly killed him.

However, it was Wan Jianyi who stepped forward and took all the blame upon himself.

At this moment, Cang Song had already summoned the divine lightning.

Dao Xuan shook his head slightly, his figure moved, and he instantly met Cang Song.

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the air.

However, the gap in strength was too vast.

Dao Xuan, as a Master of the Taiqing Realm, easily suppressed Cang Song.

In just a few rounds, Cang Song was defeated.

He lay on the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand almost slipped out.

"Dao Xuan, you dog thief, my defeat is because I, Cang Song, am not as skilled as you."

"Kill or flay me, do as you please!"

Then Cang Song shouted towards Tongtian Peak, "Senior Brother Wan, I'm sorry, I, Cang Song, am incompetent and cannot avenge you!"

"I'm coming to accompany you now..."

"In the next life, I will still be your Junior Brother!"

However, Dao Xuan looked at the disheveled Cang Song but did not deliver the killing blow.

He just turned to look at Junior Sister Shui Yue and said, "Junior Sister, you should leave first."

Junior Sister Shui Yue was instantly filled with confusion, not understanding why Dao Xuan was telling her to leave at this moment.

But she knew that Senior Brother Dao Xuan's actions had their reasons, so she nodded slightly and turned to leave.

"Su Han, we..."

"Su Han stays."

Junior Sister Shui Yue was just about to leave with Su Han, but she was stopped by Dao Xuan.

"Head Disciple Brother..."

Junior Sister Shui Yue looked at Dao Xuan with some worry.

But Su Han smiled at Junior Sister Shui Yue at this moment and shook his head, "Master, don't worry about me."

Su Han already roughly knew what Dao Xuan was thinking.

A hint of doubt flashed in Junior Sister Shui Yue's eyes.

"Be obedient."

Su Han smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Junior Sister Shui Yue nodded, "Okay."

And after Junior Sister Shui Yue had gone far, Dao Xuan's gaze fell on Su Han.
