"The rumors are not entirely without foundation," Kong Yuan shook his head and said, "I did indeed kill a fellow disciple, but the one I killed was not from the Human Clan but from the Pi Jue Corpse Clan, a spy planted by my Master, the Blood Prison Sword Saint."
"I was simply tracking the spy's identity, which led me to encounter the Shimo Saint."
"So that's how it is."
Only then did Lin Yi's face show a dawning understanding.
He had also found it very strange that a "Righteous Hero" who could fight to the death against the Outer Realm Evil Clan could possibly be a traitor who murdered his fellow disciples.
There was indeed more to the story.
Considering Kong Yuan's grievances, Lin Yi's expression grew grave, "Senior Kong Yuan, you sacrificed yourself in a great battle against the Corpse Clan, not as a disloyal and treacherous deserter of your sect. I must vindicate you and let the world know the truth."
