Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 734 Thirty-six thieves, their crimes should be punished

"Old Master."

"Daozhu Zhenren."

"Master Lu."

"Master Wang."

"Blessings, Abbot."

On the top of the golden roof, greetings were heard one after another. However, almost everyone's expression was serious, even ugly.

After all, this was not a happy event like He Songling taking office as the head of the sect, but a serious matter.

"Is it about time to start?" someone asked.

"That's impossible. The two most important people haven't arrived yet, who dares to start first?" Someone next to him immediately objected.

"Humph, whether they come or not, the outcome will be the same." The head of Liangshan snorted, "They colluded with the evil cult, formed sworn brothers, and spread the news to the world, betraying the entire righteous path. There is nothing to say about this kind of perverse behavior except execution. Those two are also righteous people, and it is impossible for them to object to this result."

"I think you are blinded by this." The head of Tiangong Hall glanced at him, "When was it your turn to make a decision for those two? Besides, it's just a sworn brotherhood, not joining Quan Xing, nor joining some conspiracy to subvert the righteous path. Why do you execute them? Your family's lives are worthless, but mine are."

"Well, of course. Your family, headmaster Lu, has three of the Thirty-Six Thieves. They are outstanding. Of course you would be reluctant to let them go." The headmaster of Liangshan was not to be outdone and retorted, "Among these little brats in my family, only one has gone astray. He deserves to die."

"Old Chu, what do you think?" The head of Liuyun Sword tilted his head and asked the leader of Huode Sect.

"I don't have anything to see. Old Zheng, I know that you swordsmen would rather break than bend, and we in the Huode Sect are also hot-tempered. But there are some things that you shouldn't take the lead in, so just don't take the lead. Among us, there is only one person participating in the brotherhood, which is still relatively small. Let's see what those two or three disciples think first." The Huode Sect's Chu Sect Master said in a low voice.

"In the final analysis, let's wait for the opinions of those two. If they don't come, what's the point of our discussion?" Duanmu Lian groaned beside him. He didn't want his daughter to be killed like this. Of course, he also had some complaints in his heart, but he didn't know who to blame.

Yes, it was indeed He Songling who took the initiative to take over Duanmu Ying, saying that he could help her change and send her abroad. However, she did not expect that she would still participate in the sworn brotherhood. But at the beginning, if He Songling had not pointed out that she had a relationship with Wu Gensheng, she would still be kept in the dark and would not have been able to avoid this ending.

"Tianshi, what about you?" Yang Xiumi, the head of Maoshan, tilted his head to ask for the opinion of Zhang Tianshi, the leader of his own lineage, Zhengyi Sect, and Longhu Mountain.

"I can't say for sure." Zhang Jingqing was also a cunning old man. He put his hands in the sleeves of his Taoist robe, closed his eyes and said calmly:
"I think we should gather all the people first, let them confront each other and talk about the situation. The thirty-six thieves that can be caught now are only a minority. Which of my traitor, your traitor, and the two Wudang disciples have returned? How can we jump to conclusions when we don't even know what happened?"

"No need to wait! The conclusion is already there!"

At this moment, a dull voice came from a distance. Everyone turned around and saw three people climbing the stairs from the foot of the mountain. The leader was tall and thin, with a sinister and vicious look on his face. He was Master Hu Tu, the head of the Shuzi Sect.

The two people behind him were carrying a stretcher, one in front and one behind. The stretcher was covered with white cloth, and judging from the shape, there was obviously a person underneath it.

Or rather, a corpse.

Everyone present was a master in the world of extraordinary people, and they all had killed many people. Even though it was covered with a piece of cloth, just looking at the shape and stiffness of the human figure, the body that did not move at all, and the appearance of the whole body covered with white cloth, everyone could be sure that what Master Hutu brought was definitely not a living person.

"Master Hutu." Someone immediately came forward to salute and greet him, and Hutu returned the greetings one by one.

Finally, in front of the Zixiao Palace, stood the last to greet them, the head of Wudang and Zhang Tianshi of Zhengyi Sect.

"Master Hutu."

"Master, Heavenly Master." The two parties saluted each other.

"Master, what is this?" Zhang Jingqing glanced at the stretcher following behind him.

"Ha, it's good to teach the Heavenly Master and the True Man, and all my colleagues will know."

Hu Tu sneered, and there seemed to be some cruel meaning behind the laugh: "This is one of the thirty-six thieves, the Shuzi Sect traitor Hu Haiwang. This guy colluded with the leader of Quanxing Sect and betrayed the righteous path. When the country was in crisis, it was no different from treason. Therefore, he was shot dead by our Shuzi Sect to serve as a warning to others. This is the conclusion of our Shuzi Sect. The thirty-six thieves should be executed for their crimes!"

"what?"

"hiss……"

Although it was foreseen that Hu Tu brought a dead man, no one thought of Hu Haiwang, one of the thirty-six thieves of the Shuzi Sect.

Firstly, the situation was still unclear at this time, so everyone agreed to hold a meeting to discuss a solution; secondly, Hu Haiwang was the younger generation of Master Hu Tu's clan, and even his nephew who was not even five generations older than him. In everyone's opinion, even if there was someone with a hot temper who would kill a traitor on the spot, it would not be Hu Haiwang.

Therefore, when everyone saw the corpse, they thought it was Quan Xing who they met on the road, or some rare Japanese devils, bandits or gangsters who were blocking the way and were killed by the Shuzi Sect. However, they didn't expect that it was Hu Haiwang himself.

"This guy is really ruthless."

Many people have a new understanding of the ruthlessness of this Shuzi Sect leader.

But, of course, there are objections. You, Hutu, don't want to protect your younger generation, but we do.

"Master, is it too much?" The head of Tiangong Hall frowned and said, "It's just a matter of making friends carelessly. It's not a capital crime, let alone 'betraying the right path'. As for 'treason', that's a bit too much."

"That's right." Fujiyama's head also snorted: "We agreed to hold a joint meeting and discuss the decision together, but you, Master Hutu, took the initiative. It's really ungentlemanly. Isn't this setting us up and forcing us to follow your decision?"

"Well said. In my opinion, the one who truly betrayed the righteous path was someone like Gao Gen. The Qi Liu didn't say that Gao Gen must be killed. Why are you jumping so happily, Hu Tuxian?"

The person who was speaking was Zhuge Xianglin, the patriarch of the Zhuge family. Ever since Old Deng hooked up with He Songling, the Zhuge family's wealth and power had expanded more than tenfold, which was more than his family had accumulated over 1,800 years.

He jumped up to mock Hu Tu and dragged down the Qilu, not because he wanted to cosplay He Songling, nor because he felt sorry for his wife who was not from the same family. However, among the thirty-six thieves, there were also disciples from the Sanyi Sect and the Tang Sect! Hu Tu's move was to make it difficult for all the sects that had produced the thirty-six thieves.

Then he naturally had to speak for He Songling in advance.

"Over? Not over at all!"
