Luo Jianxiong pinned the responsibility for the upheaval at the Lihuo Sect's mountain gate on the "deceased" Zhuo Junwu, thinking that with the dead unable to testify, what he said would be taken as truth. Now, of the three people involved in this matter, both Zhuo Junwu and Zhou Xianyang were dead. Whatever he said would hold, and Ye Fan had no concrete evidence to kill him; it would be considered infighting within the sect.
But Luo Jianxiong was far too self-assured.
Ye Fan said, "Do you really think I would believe what you're saying?"
"Why wouldn't you believe me? Put yourself in my shoes. If you were captured and forced to work for your captors to save your life, what else could I do? It wasn't me who killed Senior Brother. Master and I were both captured by mistake, just like you and Third Senior Brother who ended up safe and sound. You say I betrayed the sect; who in the sect have I harmed?" Luo Jianxiong continued to defend himself.
