And at this moment, suddenly, a hurried Forbidden Army quickly ran into the Main Hall, and with a pop, they knelt down in front of Xiao Cheng and said in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, the mage, the mage has been found!"

As soon as these words came out, the monks in the hall were suddenly startled and all looked at the imperial guard who reported the news.

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he smiled and said:

"Oh? This is a good thing! It just so happens that Master Hui Xing is not in the mood to lecture on the sutras, so that I and all of you will not have to come here in vain."

The imperial army who came to report the news still had a panic expression on his face and said urgently:

"Your Majesty, when I was waiting for the Imperial Guard to inspect, I discovered the mage's body..."

At this time, not to mention the horrified expressions on the faces of the other monks. Even the monk Hui Xing, who thought he had mastered the art of nourishing qi, also subconsciously showed his emotions at this time, looking at Xiao Cheng, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

color.

Although the monks of Ganye Temple were already well aware of Huikai's fate, when they really knew the news, they still couldn't suppress their emotions.

But before the monks in Ganye Temple could react, Xiao Cheng suddenly became furious and shouted angrily:

"What's going on? Doesn't the mage practice in seclusion? Why is this happening?"

The Imperial Guards on the side were already prepared and quickly answered:

"Your Majesty, the mage was killed by a sword that pierced his chest and stabbed his vitals. It seems that he was framed by a villain, and it was definitely not some secluded practice."

"Impossible! Although Master Huikai is not young, his cultivation is extremely advanced. It is impossible for him to die quietly at the hands of others!"

"As your Majesty said, the Master had multiple injuries on his body. It seemed that he was stabbed to death after a struggle with others. From this point of view, it is impossible that he was not noticed. But why didn't the monks in the temple know about it...

…”

Xiao Cheng nodded, with a suspicious expression on his face, and frowned:

"Yeah, why didn't anyone find out?"

Monk Hui Xing looked at the two people in front of him, who seemed to be asking and answering questions, but in fact they were constantly raising suspicions on the monks in the temple. He felt a chill in his heart.

It's over, Hui Chi's words were indeed right. The emperor wanted to put the suspicion of killing the archmage directly on their heads.

Huikai has been the leader of Buddhism for so many years, and his prestige is extremely high among monks in temples in various places and believers in Yun Kingdom. Not even Xiao Cheng dared to kill him openly.

As long as they are ignored by this name, these Buddhist masters in the temple will all die unjustly.

Not to mention, if the monks of Ganye Temple join forces to kill Master Huikai are really allowed to sit back and watch, then the name of Ganye Temple will be completely ruined among Buddhists in the future, and there will no longer be a calling for Buddhism.

The influence of the monks scattered in the temple will fall apart, and Ganye Temple will die, with no chance to turn around.

Hui Xing's heart suddenly jumped at this moment, he quickly stood up and said loudly:

"Where did you find the mage's body?"

Hearing this, the forbidden soldier quickly replied:

"Of course it was found in the secret room of the temple."

When Hui Xing heard this, he immediately seemed to have grasped his handle and said urgently:

"The secret room in my temple is hidden. How did your imperial army know that the mage was in it? How did they find the place of the secret room?"

After saying that, he didn't wait for the forbidden soldier to reply, and immediately turned to look at Xiao Cheng, saluting:

"Your Majesty, there is something strange in the words of this Imperial Guard. It seems that someone has framed us and framed us. Your Majesty, please find out the reason!"

Xiao Cheng looked at Hui Xing who was a little anxious and anxious, with a sneer on his lips and said:

"Master Hui Xing, there is something wrong with you! Why don't you care about who the murderer is? Instead, you immediately rush to defend yourself and say that you are not the murderer? I'm afraid this move may be a little...

inappropriate!"

When Hui Xing heard the words, he stopped talking immediately, pressed his teeth tightly, and stared at Xiao Cheng, his face turned red with anger.

Why not focus on who the murderer is?

If not you, who else! If you die with a sword through your chest, then the murder weapon is still hanging on your waist!

Hui Xing took a deep breath, suppressed the anger surging in his chest, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Majesty, this poor monk is not strong enough to be unshakable by the eight winds. Hearing the news of the Master's death, I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me... It's just a secret room in my temple. Why can the imperial army discover it? There must be something fishy!"

At this time, in order not to take the blame for killing Master Huikai, Hui Xing could only hold on to this point and hold on to his death.

It doesn't matter whether he can clear away the suspicion or not. Because in this situation, people like himself will definitely not escape death. The only thing he can do now is to try his best to prove that there are still doubts about this matter in front of the officials standing in the palace.

As long as there is any doubt, the Buddhist temples in various parts of the Yun Kingdom will continue to investigate, so that people like themselves will not bear the name of killing the great master. The scattered monks of Ganye Temple will not be destroyed because of Ganye Temple.

, and fell apart.

When Xiao Cheng heard what Hui Xing said, he didn't refute it and turned to look at the imperial guards who reported the news.

This forbidden soldier had already been ordered to explain, so he didn't panic at all at this time and said directly:

"It was Abbot Hui Chi who secretly found the Imperial Army and led us there."

When Hui Xing heard this, he was shocked and subconsciously turned his head to look at the palace.

At this time, Hui Chi was nowhere to be found in the main hall! It seemed that Hui Chi had not been seen since the previous commotion.

When things have developed to the current situation, Hui Chi's identity as a member of the Yun Kingdom clan is no longer useful, and Hui Xing naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

At this time, hearing Hui Chi's whereabouts again, a thought suddenly flashed through Hui Xing's mind.

To them, Hui Chi was of course useless. But after all, he was the abbot of Ganye Temple, so for the emperor, he might still have a chance to make a fuss.

Thinking of this, Hui Xing couldn't help but close his eyes with a look of regret on his face.

Miscalculated!

At this time, Xiao Cheng pretended to be confused and suspicious, frowned and asked:

"Abbot Hui Chi was also involved? Did he explain the reason to you?"

"No, the abbot didn't say a word. He said that he wanted to meet His Majesty before he could tell the truth."

Xiao Cheng nodded eagerly and said:

"Abbott, please come up and tell me clearly what is going on."

Not long after, several masters of the Forbidden Army protected Hui Chi and walked quickly into the hall.

When Hui Chi saw Xiao Cheng, he couldn't help but show excitement on his face. He hurriedly bowed down and said with a tearful voice:

"Your Majesty, you are finally here!"

Xiao Cheng looked at Hui Chi, who was acting a little too hard in front of him, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, coughed lightly, and said:

"Please tell me clearly, what is going on?"

Hui Chi showed off his acting skills to the fullest, with tears in his eyes. He pointed at the monk Hui Xing and said sadly:

"Hui Xing colluded with the rebels and plotted evil. In order to prevent the Master from preventing them from obtaining glory and wealth, they secretly colluded and took advantage of the Master's retreat to secretly kill him! Hui Chi was too young and lacked the means to avenge the Master, let alone find a way to avenge the Master.

When I found someone I could trust to report the news to His Majesty, I had no choice but to endure the humiliation and bear the burden... Wuwuwu, fortunately, fortunately, Your Majesty is finally here!"

Hui Xing looked at Hui Chi who was talking nonsense and couldn't help but said angrily:

"Hui Chi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Hui Chi glanced at Hui Xing, who was glaring at him, and subconsciously shrank his neck.

But immediately, he thought of the various tortures he had experienced after being taken away by Dongchang. His heart froze, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he boldly looked directly at Hui Xing, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Your Majesty knows clearly that Hui Chi's words and deeds are absolutely not false! Otherwise, how could I lead the imperial army to find the Master's body? Hui Xing is known as a monk, but in fact he is ambitious and ruthless. He has placed his orders everywhere in the temple.

Although I am the abbot of Ganye Temple, none of my men obey my orders. Now, for his ambition and desire, he has even killed the Archmage. Such a crime cannot be forgiven!"

Monk Hui Xing was furious and couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately raised his hand and took a step forward. The ninth-level master's terrifying aura followed him, and his energy locked onto Hui Chi tightly, as if he was going to kill him on the spot.

Hui Chi was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly hid behind Xiao Cheng.

"Be bold!"

"I want to die!"

After two loud shouts, Di Qing and Yang Dayan stepped forward together, exuding their own powerful ninth-level auras, and tightly locked Monk Hui Xing's Qi, and they seemed to have the intention to take action.

Dozens of Buddhist masters in the hall suddenly jumped up and took action. A group of forbidden soldiers also immediately formed a military formation and faced each other with swords drawn.

The officials were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they hurriedly retreated. The soldiers outside the palace tried to squeeze in to protect him.

Suddenly, the entire Mahavira Palace was in chaos.

Xiao Cheng held the Furious Dragon Sword on his waist, looked at Monk Hui Xing, and sneered:

"Hui Xing, are you bringing this upon yourself?"

Hui Xing was suppressed by two ninth-level auras, and he was still a little hesitant at first. But after hearing what Xiao Cheng said, he felt even more sad and angry. He couldn't restrain himself anymore and said angrily:

"Your Majesty, no one knows the rights and wrongs better than you!"

Now that the words have reached this point, Xiao Cheng fortunately stopped pretending and said with a sneer:

"Yes, I know it best! But now that you look so aggrieved, angry, and wronged, don't you mean to slap someone in the face?"
