C398 Collapse of Faith

"You. . . You bunch of trash. Big brother has been killed by the enemy, and as his subordinates, you still don't know what has happened. Do you want me to die of anger before you give up!"

When Zhou Cang and the others heard the first half of his sentence, they were all extremely furious in their hearts. Each and every one of them had ashen faces. However, when they heard the complete sentence, they were instantly stunned. They were shocked to the extreme as they said, "What did you say? Lord Cui, he. . . He's in trouble!"

"Can I still lie to you guys!?" After Kiu Tian roared furiously, tears immediately flowed down along his face and said, "Big brother's corpse is still lying in my tent, and the murderer is these people from the Lonely Soul who you treat as your brothers!"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Cang and the others had yet to speak, but Meng Bufan was the first one to stop listening. He immediately took a step forward and refuted angrily, "We have never had any grudges with Lord Cui. Why would we harm him? Besides, Lord Cui is a peak Late Period of Attack Stopping Stage. Who among us is a match for him? Kiu Tian, don't you dare slander us! "

" Humph, do you dare to say no? " Kiu Tian coldly smiled, and his voice became extremely cold. "As far as I know, your General Lo's cultivation base isn't bad either. Plus, with your help, my big brother was ambushed by you when he was not careful. Is this very hard to understand?"

"Bullshit!" Being repeatedly questioned and made things difficult for him, even a clay figurine would get angry. What's more, Meng Bufan, who had a violent temperament, understood that this was not the time for him to flip out. He could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart and ask in return, "May I ask, Lord Qiu? What grudge do we have with Lord Cui, that we must kill him?"

"What a joke, big brother was killed by your people, and now you're asking me instead? Is there any meaning in playing me like this?!" As Kiu Tian spoke, he drew out his weapon, waiting for a disagreement to arise before starting a massacre.

Meng Bufan saw his actions and welcomed him fearlessly. "Alright, since you said that it was the Lonely Soul who harmed Lord Cui, then show me the evidence! How can you convince the public with just your one-sided statement?! "

"Evidence?" Kiu Tian suddenly laughed crazily. After laughing, he looked at him calmly and said, "All of this was personally said by Big Brother before he died. Is there a need for a dying person to lie and lie?"

"That is also very likely that Lord Cui misunderstood something. Or perhaps all of this was framed by someone!" Meng Bufan shook his head disapprovingly after analyzing the situation. "Besides, even if our general really wants to touch Master Cui, with his strength, there is no need for us to do anything!"

"Heh, so you're saying that my big brother was really killed by your people?" After Kiu Tian said this, his eyes narrowed to a dangerous extent, and the killing intent on his face became stronger and stronger.

"That's not what I meant. I'm just emphasizing one thing. " Meng Bufan said with a serious face, "We have no reason to kill Lord Cui. Doing this will only bring us harm and no benefits!"

"That may not be the case. All of you were heroes of Great Chu. The pride of millions of Chu Army, but in the blink of an eye, became an important suspect for colluding with the enemy and betraying the country. In this way, it was inevitable that there would be an imbalance in his heart. Especially the Lo Gucheng. With his arrogant personality, How could he possibly accept that he would be imprisoned in the end? Therefore, it's highly likely that he would do something extreme for the time being. "

Upon hearing this, Meng Bufan immediately shook his head and rejected it. " This is absolutely impossible. The general has always been reasonable and magnanimous. How can he be such a petty person? If he really is not convinced of the Emperor's decision, why would we obediently follow you guys out back then? Wouldn't it be more convenient to directly rebel? "

"Hmph, that is because old supreme commander Dou is here. You guys naturally do not dare to act rashly. Now that we have arrived in this desolate wilderness, We won't respond to you every day, and it won't work even if we call out to you. Wouldn't that be the best time for you to silence us?!" Kiu Tian sat on his horse and unsheathed his long saber. At this moment, he no longer concealed his killing intent. Zhou Cang and the others also quickly maintained a distance from Meng Bufan and the others. There was an additional hint of fury and vigilance in their eyes.

"Kiu Tian, don't you slander others. We have never had such a despicable idea. Don't go too far!"

This time, not only Meng Bufan, but the other Lonely Soul generals were also furious. They all walked to Meng Bufan's side at the same time. They stood opposite of Kiu Tian, staring at each other with eyes that seemed like they were about to spurt out flames.

"Heh, has the fox's tail finally been revealed?" Kiu Tian's lips curled up when he saw this. He said faintly, "It's not up to you whether you have such thoughts or not. If you really want to prove that you are innocent, then. . . That's simple, please tell me. . . Where is your General Lo now? If he really doesn't have a ghost in his heart. . . Why hasn't he come out to confront me face to face?"

"This. . . "

Meng Bufan and the others stared at him, speechless. As a matter of fact, the fact that the Lo Gucheng had not appeared until now had caused a large portion of them to have doubts.

"I don't believe that anyone can betray us. General Lo was the only one who would never do so. The reason why he had yet to appear. . . He must have been delayed by something important. Right. That must be it!" Meng Bufan was still screaming in pain like a wounded wild wolf. However, anyone could tell that his reason was very forced. In front of a mountain as heavy as reality, it was so pale.

"Wake up, don't lie to yourself anymore!" Kiu Tian mercilessly broke his fantasy. With a sneer, he shouted like he was hitting the head of a stick, "Even if what you said is true, If the Lo Gucheng is unable to appear because of something urgent, then tell me. . . Where did the commander of your First Army, Zhou Hong, and his thousands of men, go? "

Seeing him stand there in a daze, Kiu Tian slowly stretched out a hand and pointed at a place that no one had paid attention to. He said without any emotion: "You can't say it, can you? Look at the ground over there. Do those corpses look very familiar?"

After his reminder, Meng Bufan and the others found that not far to their left, there were many black shadows lying in ambush. Their expressions changed again and again. They walked closer to take a look. Meng Bufan closed his eyes bitterly and fell to his knees powerlessly. In an instant, he looked as if he had aged ten years.

"How could this be? This is not real, not real. . . "

Looking at his dazed expression, Even though Kiu Tian was furious about Cui Ming's death, he couldn't help but sigh. "Even if you really didn't participate in this matter, you won't be able to escape the crime of covering up for us. Men, arrest all these traitors of the Lonely Soul who are suspected of rebellion!"

"Understood!"

Zhou Cang and the others went forward to take the men. Meng Bufan and the rest of the people from the Lonely Soul didn't resist at all from beginning to end. They were like wooden puppets, mourning for the death of their hearts. They were no different from living corpses. Their hearts had been shattered and their souls had been severed.

When the years of faith collapsed in an instant, how would the believers accept the cruel reality in their faces? They would sigh with sorrow, and they would be speechless.
