The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

Chapter 724: Openly framed

In a blink of an eye, the three of Lu Pingan returned to Yunjianmen from Fengjian City.

Lu Ping'an was still imprisoned in the prison of Houfeng.

After reactivating the cell formation, Yan Zhengtao briefly confessed a few words, then turned and left.

Mu Qing continued to stay outside the cell, discussing with Lu Pingan about the high-level meeting tomorrow.

Everything was calm, as if the Supreme Sage Emperor of Dongyu Kingdom had never been here, nor had it brought a huge crisis to Lu Pingan, Mu Qing and others.

Apart from the three of them and Qi Yong, no one else knew what had happened.

This night, it seemed like normal.

In Mu Qing's view, if nothing happens, Lu Ping'an will be able to regain his freedom tomorrow, he just needs to accept a small punishment.

After listening to Mu Qing's words, Lu Pingan asked, "Sister, are you so confident?"

Mu Qing said proudly, "Of course, otherwise, what did you think I was doing the other day? Just working hard for tomorrow's high-level meeting!"

Lu Ping'an said, "Sister, you have worked hard."

Mu Qing waved his hand and said, "As long as it makes you less punished, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it."

Lu Pingan said, "But I guess, Brother Yan didn't intend to impose heavy punishment on me from the beginning."

Mu Qing frowned and said, "What are you talking about nonsense? Have you forgotten his attitude the other day? And before you have been convicted, you have been locked up in such a shabby place. I see him clearly. It means bad intentions and public revenge!"

"Senior Sister, as I said before, we actually misunderstood Brother Yan..."

Then, Lu Pingan relayed the previous conversations between him and Yan Zhengtao to Mu Qing.

But after listening, Mu Qing still felt a little unbelievable, and said, "You mean, he imprisoned you here to avoid letting the old fellow Taishang Shenghuang directly find you?"

Lu Pingan nodded and said, "That's right, so apart from implementing the rules and precepts, Brother Yan is also thinking about me."

Mu Qing said: "The struggle that year did make Menzong a lot of people dead, and because of this, he hated the court of Dongyu State and chose to help you secretly. It made sense. It sounds like that. But the question is, what else does he say that the Cloud Sword Sect will stand with you? If he really thinks that way, then when we talked about the Demon Cult, why didn't he say this?"

Lu Pingan said: "Maybe Senior Brother Yan has his own considerations, but since he told me this before, I feel more credible."

Mu Qing thought for a while, and said: "I still feel that you can't trust that guy easily. Don't listen to what he says, but see what he actually did. If he can acquiesce in giving you the lightest sentence tomorrow, then I will Believe that he is kind, otherwise, it means that he is lying to you."

Lu Ping'an said, "What good is it for him to lie to me?"

Mu Qing said: "In order for you to deal with the matter of the Supreme Holy Emperor wholeheartedly, after all, what accident really happened, he is responsible."

Lu Pingan still prefers to believe in Yan Zhengtao, and said, "I feel... it shouldn't be possible?"

Mu Qing said: "That's hard to say. He is indifferent and serious on the surface, and is fair in doing things, but in reality, the city is very deep. I have known him for more than 100 years, and I still don't know what kind of person he is. Can you make a definite judgment on him just based on a few words he said?"

Lu Pingan was silent for a while, and said: "It is indeed not easy to make an accurate judgment on a person, but Brother Yan is a member of our Yunjianmen anyway, and there is no need to have too strong defense against him. Right?"

Mu Qing said solemnly: "Don't forget how his master died. The people he admired were killed by the Dongyu court. He will hate the Dongyu court, so what about the death of his master? You would think that Uncle Yan was not at fault and was not the murderer who killed his master, but he might not think so."

Lu Pingan thought for a while, and said, "It makes sense, maybe I was a little rash this time."

Mu Qing had always been more serious just now, but at this time he smiled softly and said, "But it is a good thing that you are willing to trust others with kindness. Actually, I can't be sure what King Yama thinks. , Just to remind you that in the face of his situation, you still need to be more vigilant."

Lu Pingan said, "Well, I understand."

Mu Qing said: "Don't think about other things for the time being. At the high-level meeting tomorrow, you will be better and be more sincere in admitting your mistakes. When this matter is resolved, we will go to study the magic sect. "

Lu Pingan said, "Sister Youlao, you bother."

The two chatted for a while, and Mu Qing said goodbye and left.

Lu Pingan stayed alone in the cell, meditating, but for some reason, he was always faintly disturbed.

...

The next morning, the Yunjianmen high-level meeting was held as scheduled.

Outside the main peak hall, a large number of people gathered, which can be described as a huge crowd.

Although most of those were hall masters or disciples who couldn't participate in high-level meetings, they were all very concerned about this matter and wanted to see what kind of punishment Lu Ping'an would eventually receive.

According to Mu Qing’s understanding a few days ago, in fact, many disciples still support Lu Ping’an. They feel that even if Lu Ping’s really violated the rules and precepts of the house, it is excusable. There is no need for heavy punishment, but a symbolic punishment. That's it.

It is precisely because of this that Mu Qing is confident that he can help Lu Pingan win a light sentence.

In the main hall, the number of people was relatively small, but most of the high-ranking men of Menzong had arrived on time.

Everyone was separated, Mu Qing and Yan Zhengtao stood at the forefront of one side.

The two of them are in a state of opposition at this meeting, so it is normal to stand like this.

But the position of other people does not represent their position.

In addition, although Yan Zhengtao is acting as the head, because he is going to appear as the master of Zhufeng Peak this time, he can only let the high elder of the main peak Reid come to preside over the meeting.

But the big elder did not have the final decision, everything still depends on the results of the discussions of all the senior sects.

"Everyone is here, right?"

The great elder sitting above the hall asked.

The next elder in charge of this matter replied: "Except for those who have said in advance that they cannot come, they are all here."

The elder said: "Okay, then first bring Elder Lu Pingan."

Before that, Lu Pingan had been brought to the main peak from the Great Prison of Houfeng.

And now the elder gave an order, and someone led him into the hall.

He didn't wear any shackles on his body, nor was he controlled by power, he just walked in normally.

Almost all the high-level men of the Sect's eyes were subconsciously focused on him, but their ideas were different.

"Great Elder, people have been brought here."

The man who brought Lu Ping in with folded his hands and said.

The elder nodded and said, "Okay, let's start today's meeting."

In the hall where there were still some small voices, it immediately became quiet.

Then, the elder said: "This meeting was convened by the leader of Yunfeng’s Mu Feng, after obtaining the consent of most of the high-level men of the Sect. The question of how to punish the Cangwu country for fighting..."

At this time, Yan Zhengtao stood up and said: "Before this, I have to say one thing first..."

Mu Qing was startled and asked, "What do you want to say? If it has nothing to do with the content of this meeting, stop talking nonsense."

Yan Zhengtao said: "Of course it is related, and it is also closely related, and it will even directly affect the severity of the punishment of Elder Lu."

The elder said: "If this is the case, then you can talk about Master Yan Feng."

Yan Zhengtao said: "In fact, the matter is very simple, but the nature of his behavior is extremely bad. As everyone knows, before the penalty result is officially confirmed, I temporarily imprisoned Elder Lu in Houfeng Prison, but I didn't expect it, just yesterday. Late... he escaped from prison!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was suddenly shocked.

"what?!"

"This is too lawless!"

"Escape is a felony!"

The senior men in the main hall immediately started talking in surprise.

But the most surprised of them were Lu Pingan and Mu Qing.

Mu Qing wanted to scold Yan Zhengtao, saying that he had promised that he would never mention what happened last night. Now he is turning back and slandering Lu Ping's escape from prison? !

However, she quickly reacted. If she did this, it would be tantamount to not confessing to herself. Moreover, Yan Zhengtao did not mention that Lu Pingan killed Qi Zhu and attracted the Supreme Sage Emperor. Going deeper, he did not break his promise.

But this kind of slander made Mu Qing feel very angry, and he had to think about it before he could refute him, and could not be implicated in those things last night.

Lu Pin's thoughts were the same as Mu Qing's.

The only difference is that Mu Qing had been skeptical of Yan Zhengtao from beginning to end, but Lu Ping'an believed Yan Zhengtao last night, thinking that he was really a good person, but he was harsher and colder on the surface.

But I never thought that Mu Qing was right, Yan Zhengtao should not be trusted easily!

He did that last night, it is estimated that it was really just for Lu Ping's peace to solve the matter of the Supreme Sage Emperor, not for the sake of Lu Ping's wholeheartedly.

And now that he openly framed Lu Ping An, I am afraid that he is also retaliating against Lu Ping An for his master's affairs!

But fortunately, Mu Qing had reminded Lu Ping'an last night, which made him feel defensive, and now he will not be hit too much.

It's just that he will inevitably feel that he is a little naive, underestimating the complexity and sinisterness of the human heart, so he can't help but smile.

And just as everyone was talking and thinking, Yan Zhengtao said again: "Elder Lu is already guilty, and if he dares to escape from prison, it is more sinful! In my opinion, ignoring him like this Sect rules, even those who provoked the majesty of Sect, should be punished the most severe!"
