From what that woman said, I can draw a conclusion.

That is the Xia family, which was laid out in the Demon-Suppressing Stele Forest almost an hour ago.

As long as we go out from here, we can face the Xia family's elite.

A fierce battle is inevitable.

Xia Chuan, the head of the Xia family, is indeed planning to frame Xia Mengying. But what about the other disciples of the Xia family?

They may not know the truth, or they may be standing opposite us for other reasons!

Among those people are Xia Mengying's teachers, as well as her relatives and friends. Can she watch those people die under our swords?

My meaning is also very simple, that is, let Xia Mengying leave so that she will not be in trouble!

Xia Mengyang thought for a long time before shaking her head and saying: "I know the head of the family. He will not bet the entire Xia family. There will be no more than ten people around him. I want to go with you."

I hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Although Xia Mengying is not from our Liangjie Hall, she is our friend after all.

Friends need to be protected!

I could feel Xia Mengying's panic, especially the closer she got to the tunnel exit, the more intense her panic became.

It wasn't until Butcher Wang gently held Xia Mengying's hand that she calmed down a little.

When Ye Yang and I walked out of the secret passage side by side, the first thing we saw was Xia Chuan, the head of the Xia family, sitting in the academy.

The other party did not seem to be facing a formidable enemy at all. Instead, he looked like a Confucian scholar who was reading at night. He looked at the book in his hand with concentration. He had reached a state of forgetting both things and himself, and seemed to be integrated with everything around him.

It wasn't until all of us walked out of the secret passage that Xia Chuan gently put down the book and said, "Hall Master Li, how about you please come in and talk about it?"

When I walked into the academy, Wang Tufu and others had already seized the most advantageous position according to the custom of Jianghu people.

Xia Chuan smiled calmly and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone! Xia can guarantee that this battle will be a battle between gentlemen."

Butcher Wang sneered: "The premise of a gentleman's war is that there are lots of conspiracies?"

Xia Chuan said helplessly: "It is precisely because Xia's previous actions were ungraceful that we must preserve the final dignity of the Confucian disciples in this battle."

I asked back: "Master Xia, don't tell me that the previous layout was not by your hand!"

"That's exactly what it is!" Xia Chuan waved his hand and said, "Letting guests sit empty seats is not the way to treat guests. Xia has specially prepared some refreshments. How about we talk while eating?"

As Xia Chuan waved, the four great scholars personally brought us refreshments and then stood behind Xia Chuan with their hands tied.

Excluding Xia Mengying, the number of people in Liangjie Hall and the Xia family was exactly five to five.

Xia Chuan said: "This time, a total of five people from the Xia family are here. It is our one-on-one decisive battle. I think this should also be in line with your rules of the world, right?"

"It's fair!" I was mocking Xia Chuan, but the latter said indifferently: "I didn't think the Two Realms Hall was so great before, but I didn't expect that Hall Master Li has so many talented people."

"Three moves and two moves can make the invisible military master unable to fight back, and he can approach the Demon-Suppressing Stele Forest."

"If I guess correctly, the soul-confessing gentleman outside should be Liu Bao, the ghost master under the hall master, right?"

I smiled and said, "Why don't you think he is the real Mr. Soul Confessor?"

Xia Chuan said: "Hall Master Li has a bit of Li Chunfeng's character."

Xia Chuan said seriously: "Xia said that the battle between you and me is a battle between gentlemen. Therefore, I will not threaten Hall Master Li in any form. What do you want to ask? Xia knows everything and will tell you everything.

Until Hall Master Li feels that there is no need to talk between us, we can start a war."

I smiled and said, "Since Mr. Xia has always emphasized that this is a battle between gentlemen, what I want to ask is, what is the outcome of victory or defeat?"

Xia Chuan said: "If we are lucky enough to win, then the Demon-Suppressing Stele Forest will be the resting place of the Two Realms Hall."

"If we are defeated by the hall master, please ask the hall master to save some face for the Confucian sect, and Xia will also give me a small gift."

I nodded and said: "The request is quite reasonable. You must be very clear about my purpose of coming. You tell me and I listen!"

Xia Chuan said: "This matter has to start when your father Li Chunfeng came to Banxian Village."

"Although I don't have any evidence, according to my speculation afterwards, the instigator of the demon riot in Banxianzhuang Stele Forest was your father Li Chunfeng?"

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and said, "What do you say? What's the basis for it?"

Xia Chuan said: "When Li Chunfeng came to Banxian Village, he brought a coffin. He claimed that it was an empty coffin used to seal demons."

"I later deduced that the coffin contained a body, that is, his adopted sister Yan Pianying."

"At that time, Li Chunfeng should have brought a special coffin to preserve Yan Pianying's body. Taking advantage of the chaos in Banxianzhuang, he quietly sneaked into the Forest of Steles and put Yan Pianying into the soul-gathering coffin to reunite her soul."

"This should be his only way to resurrect Yan Pianying!"

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Chapter completed!
