Chapter 162: Cross-examination
The void broke, and the mighty returned to the void under pressure, and two figures stepped out of the black cavity of space.
One of them has gray hair, old face, dull eyes, unremarkable, dressed in simple green clothes, head high, up and down is difficult to see eye-catching, only a purple dragon jade pendant on the waist is the most extraordinary.
The other has a black beard and chest, with a dignified face, draped in brocade and embroidery, even though he wears gold and jade, but he still bends his body slightly, second to the old man, and his eyebrows are bowed respectfully.
It was one of the elders of the headquarters of the Thirteen Places Juxian Building, and the owner of the branch of the Juxian Building in Chaos Immortal City!
"Please wait a while, and my subordinates will immediately order someone to take the gold leaf!"
Elder Qian took away his breath, waved his hand to take away the pressure of returning to the void, and bowed his head slightly, the owner of the branch building had not yet moved, and two figures had already flown in the sky, it was the city lord of Chaos Immortal City and the head of Juxian Tower.
"The junior city lord of Chaoxian City, welcome to the arrival of the seniors!"
"The subordinates welcome the arrival of Elder Qian, and welcome the return of the landlord!"
The two of them bowed respectfully, and then the owner of the branch asked the principal: "You came just in time, do you remember the gold leaf I got by chance that day?"
"Naturally remember!"
The principal recalled the transaction with Ye Zang and others a few days ago, and secretly said that his opportunity had come, so he enthusiastically described the situation of the day to the owner of the branch building and the elder Qian.
......
In a stone house in the Chaotic Immortal City, Jiang Feng and the four of them broke free from the pressure of returning to the void, wiped the beads of sweat on their foreheads, Dugusheng was full of sorrow, and hurriedly asked Jiang Feng Chuanyin.
"Xiao Feng, what should I do now? The return to the void must be for the sake of the golden leaf!"
"No way!"
Jiang Feng muttered, his sword pointed sharply at Dugu Shengyi's eyebrows, and the golden light of the relics drilled into the space of his sea of knowledge, turning into a layer of light curtain to wrap the golden leaf in it.
Although Dugu Shengyi had already preliminarily refined the golden leaf, Jiang Feng was not sure if this would not be discovered by the Returning Void Power, so he could only add another layer of insurance by this method.
At the same time, he took advantage of the fact that Elder Qian had not noticed this, and quickly secretly transferred all the things that the three of them had purchased from Juxian Mansion to a variegated storage ring, and put them into the sea of knowledge space, hiding them in the golden light of the relics.
"No need to panic, just train normally!"
The four of them looked at each other speechlessly, just acting as if nothing had happened, and continued to cultivate the Four Elephant Sword Formation. Although Dugu Shengyi felt a little flustered, he felt a lot more at ease when he had his best friend by his side.
He knew very well that if he showed his feet in a state of confusion and was noticed by Juxian Lou where the golden leaf was, the fate of those four people would be a catastrophe.
The four of them cultivated as usual, without revealing half of their emotions, and on the other side, the branch owner of Juxian Building was already furious after listening to the report of the master, especially when he looked at the complacent appearance of this subordinate who took the initiative to ask for credit, he couldn't wait to kill him directly.
"You say it again, you sold the gold leaf?"
"Genus...... Subordinate......"
The principal finally understood the seriousness of the matter, and saw Elder Qian's cold eyes, although these eyes looked plain and unremarkable, without the slightest trace of the brilliance that a cultivator should have, but they contained immortal power in them, because this is something that can only be done by returning to the void...... Back to basics!
Even if he didn't know why, the principal knew that he had caused a big disaster, and the whole person instantly fell into an ice cellar, and he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"The Elders Atonement for Their Lives ......"
Suddenly, Elder Qian turned his fingers into claws, and took the main thing closer, not allowing the main person to beg for mercy, and the old man's big hand was already clasped on his heavenly spirit.
"Soul search!"
The memory of the principal came to Elder Qian's mind, and the whole story of selling the gold leaf to Ye Zang and the three of them that day had been instantly understood by Elder Qian.
"Idiot!"
Elder Qian let go of his right paw, put down his trance, and was still muttering words of begging for mercy in his mouth, and the owner of the branch was also furious, and kicked him in the chest of the chief, kicking him into the air.
"Rubbish!"
He went to the headquarters of Juxian Lou to report the transaction details in recent years, and in his spare time, he recalled the mysterious gold leaf he had accidentally found, so he used a secret method to manifest the gold leaf in his memory and ask the people in the headquarters to identify it for future sale.
He had seen that the golden leaf had the ability to cut gold and break jade, and mistakenly thought that it was some kind of strange plant that could be used for refining weapons, after all, the thirteen lands were secret and extensive, even if there were strange beings that he didn't know, it was not surprising.
That's why he temporarily placed the gold leaf on the counter of Juxian Building. Who knew that the more the identification staff at the headquarters appraised, the more frightened they became, and in the end, they directly alarmed a human immortal ancestor in the headquarters. At that moment, he finally realized how wrong his assessment of Jin Ye was.
The ability of the human immortal ancestor is unimaginable to ordinary monks, and with the preliminary identification of the secret method, the ancestor guessed that the gold leaf is very likely to be a thing of the heavenly realm and left in the world. However, because he could not be completely sure, he sent an elder who was at the peak of the mortal path to confirm.
"You go and get the registration records of the people coming and going in the Chaotic Immortal City for nearly ten days!"
Elder Qian directly gave orders to the city lord, how dare the latter hesitate, although he was in the early stage of the Danding Realm, but this little bit of Taoism was not worth mentioning at all, so he immediately turned around and took the register of the directory and presented it to Elder Qian.
"On the same day, six people of unknown origin entered and exited Chaos Immortal City, and they are still in the city!"
Elder Qian was also upset at this time, and in a fit of anger, he spread his divine sense, enveloping the entire Chaotic Immortal City, and instantly found the location of Jiang Feng and the four of them, and his body disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, he was already above the stone house, and the city lord and the landlord also followed.
The arrival of the three of them immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Feng and the others, and they hurriedly stopped the cultivation of the sword formation, led by Xia Yeyan, and respectfully greeted them.
"The juniors meet the three seniors, I don't know what happened when the seniors came?"
Seeing that the four of them looked calm, Elder Qian remembered that a few of them had been cultivating the sword formation just now, and they were not panicked at all because they were powerful enough to return to the void, and he suddenly felt a novelty in his heart.
"Wait, you're not from the Thirteen Lands!"
Elder Qian's voice suddenly turned cold, and the coercion invisibly forced the four of them, and Yumeng unconsciously hid his body backwards.
"With the power of our predecessors, we have no need to hide it. Back to the seniors, the younger generations and others are indeed not the cultivation of the thirteen places. ”
"This female doll was born with a good appearance!" Elder Qian saw that Xia Yeyan was so young, and his appearance was already so outstanding, and his speech temperament was extraordinary, which was by no means ordinary, and his tone was slightly gentle.
"Wait, from Kyushu?"
"Yes!"
As the words fell, Elder Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, looking directly at the origin, Jiang Feng and the others instantly felt that everything in them was exposed to this gaze, as if there was no more secret. This is the power of returning to the void standing at the pinnacle of the mortal path!
"Are you fellow clansmen?"
Elder Qian's eyes suddenly turned cold, even if they didn't look directly, Xia Ye and the others also felt a heart-piercing chill, and in this look, there was a trace of killing intent hidden.
He had just used secret methods to get a glimpse of the martial arts of Xia Ye's deaths, and it turned out that Xia Yeyan and Jiang Feng belonged to the Yunxiao Palace, but Dugu Shengyi was a disciple of Extreme Sword Peak, and the ghost dream that had been hidden behind the three of them was clearly a member of the Demon Sect.
If Xia Yeyan and the others concealed their answers, or if there was something that dissatisfied him in the slightest, he would immediately take action to extract the souls of several people, torture them, or even kill them instantly!
"Definitely!" Xia Yeyan saluted again and said peacefully, "The junior Xia Yeyan is a disciple of the Cloud Hall with his junior brother Jiang Feng, and his friend Dugu Shengyi is a disciple of the Extreme Sword Peak, as for the dream, he is my friend when I came to the Thirteen Lands to experience the experience!"
At the end of the summer night, Yumeng's body shook suddenly, Huo Ran raised his head, and looked at her and Jiang Feng and Dugu Shengyi in disbelief, never expected that the origin of the three people would be so big, and there were two of the three major sects of the righteous path, and there were two of them around her.
However, she really hadn't heard of the names of the three people, and she didn't have the slightest information about the three of them in her memory, but this also confirmed what she had speculated before - Jiang Feng and the three of them were by no means unknown people in Kyushu. Although she knew very little about the situation in Kyushu, if she was a disciple of the Cloud Hall and the Extreme Sword Peak, it would make sense.
"I heard that the name of the sword master of the Extreme Sword Peak is Dugu Ji, could it be ......"
Thinking like this, Yumeng's eyes were vaguely focused on Dugu Shengyi.
"Oh?"
Xia Yeyan's sincere explanation of his identity and origin was quite unexpected by Elder Qian, but the truth and facts were blunt, which dispelled some doubts in his heart.
Although the change in Youmeng's expression was fleeting, it couldn't hide from his eyes, and Elder Qian couldn't help but show a playful smile, with a strong curiosity hidden in his smile, and said secretly: "Judging from the reactions of a few people, the three of Xia Yeyan should not know the identity of this disciple of the Girl Demon Sect named Youmeng, and Yumeng is also the first time to know the sect they came from. Interesting! Three righteous path disciples and one demon sect disciple in Kyushu are walking together, calling each other friends, where in the world is there such an interesting thing?"
"Even if you enter the world, why did you appear in Chaos Immortal City?"
Unconsciously, Elder Qian had already put away his coercion, and he could see that Xia Yeyan was the leader of the four-person team, and they had not lied from beginning to end, and his suspicion of the four couldn't help but weaken a little.
"Go back to the seniors and ask, the four of us were unexpectedly scattered before, and they agreed to meet in the Troubled Immortal City, and I happened to hear that there have been flower picking and prostitution thieves in the Chaotic Immortal City recently, so I stayed, hoping to kill the adulterous thieves and give justice to the people who died in vain!
"Eliminate the evil and defend the way, heh! It is indeed like what the righteous path of Kyushu often does!"
Elder Qian said secretly, and then looked at the city lord of Ranxian City behind him, who hurriedly bowed down and said yes, stating that what Xia Ye said was true, and briefly described the incident of picking flowers and thieves. His cultivation is limited, he has never been to Kyushu, but he has also heard of the great names of Yunxiao Hall and Extreme Sword Peak, and he also didn't expect that the four young men and women in front of him would have such a big background.
Elder Qian naturally didn't care about the trivial matters of the thief, his eyes were slightly closed, and his divine consciousness was like a breeze, sweeping over the bodies of the four people, and he stopped for a few breaths, as if he was weighing some kind of stake, and finally turned to leave.
"Congratulations to the seniors!"
The four of them saluted in unison, and Elder Qian didn't take a few steps, but suddenly turned around and said to Xia Yexuan: "On the day you return to the sect, when you see your sect Qingyunzi, remember to say hello to the old man, and say that he misses his old friend, and invite him to come to the Thirteen Places to gather immortals in his spare time as a guest!"
Xia Ye Yan frowned and recalled a few breaths, and glanced at Jiang Feng again, the two of them shook their heads blankly at the same time, and then hugged their fists and said: "The seniors atone for their sins, and the younger generations have been thinking hard for a long time, but in my memory, there is no one who calls Qingyunzi among the current teachers in the Yunxiao Palace, and there is no ancestor in the Zongling Hall who is called Qingyunzi, maybe the younger generations still know little, and I am afraid that they will be entrusted by their predecessors!"
Elder Qian always watched the changes in Xia Yeyi's expression, including her and Jiang Feng's small movements, and when he heard this, he hummed softly, didn't say much, and turned to leave.
......
"Elder, have you ruled out the suspicion of the four people of the Summer Night, is it possible that they bought the gold leaf, and they were just lying to each other before?"
......
