Chapter 64: Whoever Provokes Him Is in Big Trouble (Part I)
A burst of colorful light flickered, and the artifact conch rushed out and sucked Gou Xiong in.
Gou Xiong didn't understand until he died, how could Xie Tingfeng, who was obviously exhausted of his true qi, suddenly become a dragon and a tiger.
How did he know that after Xie Tingfeng was promoted to the Great Martial Master, the True Qi Yang in the dantian was divided into two and became two, which was equivalent to having two "dantians". And what he consumes is only the energy of one of them.
"Brother Feng, in the future, you will put all the spirit stones into the conch space. With the devouring power of the conch, you won't have to work hard to absorb energy. β
"Yes, the conch has the ability to devour and feed. In the future, when I am fighting the enemy, I will be able to replenish my energy with spirit stones at any time. β
Xie Tingfeng's mind moved, and he entered the conch space. He put all the spirit stones in the storage ring into it and stacked them in a pile.
"Sister Meng, this day-and-night life-and-death struggle is really dangerous. β
"Well, you've done a great job. In the face of danger, surprise wins. Be careful, though. This change in the inner gate deacon hall will definitely alarm the sect. β
"Yes, I have to get out quickly and dispose of the corpses of those twenty or so inner disciples. β
Xie Tingfeng hurriedly came to the place where those inner disciples were killed, and couldn't help but be surprised. All twenty-one corpses were gone, and even the blood on the ground was gone.
"Could it be that they were all eaten by demon beasts? No, if they were, there should still be blood on the ground. β
"Brother Feng, someone must have helped you deal with it, it seems that this person is not an enemy but a friend. However, you should be careful not to show any flaws. β
"yes, I see. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so let's go with the flow. β
The news that Gou Xiong, the first elder of the Inner Gate Deacon Hall, and more than twenty disciples had disappeared out of thin air quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Sword Sect. For a while, everyone was frightened, panicked, and discussed.
"Could it be that the inner deacon Tang Gou Xiong defected from the sect with more than twenty disciples?"
"Impossible, there is no place for the sect to be sorry for them, how could they defect?"
"Yes, more than 20 people defected, and the movement should be not small. There are quite a few spies scattered around the Heavenly Sword Sect, and they should have discovered it long ago. β
"Did it disappear out of thin air? I think it was murdered, and the body was destroyed!"
"I also think so, this person's cultivation must be above the high-level martial sect. In the future, we must be careful when we walk in the sect. β
The higher-ups were furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Su Buqing, the punishment elder, led people to check and checked, but he had no clue. But it is almost certain that it will not be outsiders who infiltrate the Heavenly Sword Sect to kill people, and the biggest possibility is that the people in the sect are ghosts.
Later, someone reported that Xie Tingfeng had a conflict with the disciples of the Inner Gate Deacon Hall, and abolished their lifeline. Could it be that these disciples went to Xie Tingfeng to take revenge, but they were killed by him?
On this day, Xie Tingfeng was cultivating in the cave mansion, and four big men came outside.
"Inner disciple Xie Tingfeng can you?" a loud shout came from outside the cave mansion.
Xie Tingfeng walked out of the cave mansion, and when he saw that the four of them were not good, he hurriedly said: "Senior brothers, I am Xie Tingfeng, I don't know what to do with me?"
"Someone reported that you killed more than 20 disciples of the Inner Gate Deacon Hall. We have come to you for questioning at the order of the punishment elders!"
This chain is made of meteoric iron, the high-grade spiritual weapon used by the Ministry of Punishment. Once it was sacrificed, Xie Tingfeng was tied up strongly, and the more he struggled, the tighter he strangled.
Xie Tingfeng sighed secretly, thinking, "What should come will always come, let it be fate." β
The four of them escorted Xie Tingfeng to the Criminal Punishment Department, and they had already been seen by many people.
He was exceptionally promoted to an inner disciple by the three elders because of the fight against Wang Peng's master and apprentice, and later forcibly confiscated the tools of twenty inner disciples to pass on the ancestry, and he had already become a celebrity in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Now there is something big about it, and he is chained by the disciples of the Criminal Punishment Department. This astonishing news spread as soon as it spread ten, and many disciples came to see the excitement one after another.
In the Criminal Punishment Department, the First Elder Liu Bingquan, the Second Elder Su Buqing, and the Third Elder Zhu Jie sat in the hall, surrounded by fierce and vicious punishment disciples.
"Bring Xie Tingfeng to the hall!" Liu Bingquan served as the chief judge, and with an order, the punishment disciple escorted Xie Tingfeng in.
"The people in the audience, but thank you for listening to the wind?"
"It's the disciple!"
"Why did you have a dispute with the disciples of the Inner Gate Deacon Hall and nullify their lives?"
"Elder Hui, I will report to the inner gate, and Gou Naihe, the grandson of Elder Gou Xiong of the Inner Gate Deacon Hall, forcibly collected a hundred medium-grade spirit stones. If I didn't give it, he wouldn't allow me to report for duty, and he instructed twenty inner disciples to besiege me and cut off my limbs. The disciples were not angry for a while, and they wasted their lives. β
"Be bold and listen to the wind! You are so brave and ruthless, and your methods are vicious, can you be guilty?" Liu Bingquan was furious.
"What is my sin? Gou Naihe cleverly set up a name and forcibly collected spirit stones, so that he is guilty. I fought with reason, and they besieged me. Am I a fish and a sword, and I deserve to be bullied?"
"Then you shouldn't abolish other people's lives, this kind of practice is not like a decent person. Third Elder Zhu Jie interjected.
"They want to cut off my limbs and make me into a stick, which is the work of a decent family? They are not as good as others, and they deserve to be injured by me! I did not take their lives, I am already gracious. I would like to ask, if Gou Naihe hadn't eaten and taken the card for a day or two, you wouldn't have found out? Your Penal Department allowed the Inner Gate Deacon Hall to collect spirit stones privately, was it negligent or deliberately connived?" Xie Tingfeng not only did not admit his mistake, but instead accused the Penal Department of inaction.
"You...... This ......" Zhu Jie was asked by Xie Tingfeng, and he was very embarrassed.
"Xie Tingfeng said well, Gou Naihe and others are to blame!"
"Thank you Tingfeng, we support you! The Criminal Punishment Department just doesn't do anything!"
"We are going to sue the sect and punish the Department for a crime of negligence!"
Those inner disciples who came to watch had been blackmailed by Gou Naihe, and the Criminal Punishment Department did not ask about it. Now Xie Tingfeng dares to speak out, and he has gone to their hearts, so he has spoken out to help them one by one.
"Quiet! Everyone, don't be impatient!" Su Buqing was shocked, and everyone was suddenly silent.
"Leave that aside for now. Xie Tingfeng, Gou Xiong, and the twenty-one inner disciples were not killed by you? You must be honest, I am not something you can fool casually!" Liu Bingquan finished speaking, his body was filled with true qi, and the momentum of the high-level martial sect was very amazing.
"The Great Elder of the Punishment Department, you have to be responsible when you speak. Which eye did you see me killing?"
"Bold!How do you talk to the Great Elder?" Third Elder Zhu Jie had never seen such an arrogant disciple as Xie Tingfeng.
"Thank you for listening to the wind, because only you have a holiday with Gou Naihe and others. So, you're the most suspicious!" Mr. Liu continued.
"Yes, there have been more people who have been extorted from Spirit Stones by Gou Naihe over the years, how can you conclude that I killed them?"
"Because you have the strength. Moreover, with your character of retribution, it's not that you can't do it!"
"God, earth! How can there be such a ridiculous person! If you want to add to the crime, you should be the one who killed Elder Gou Xiong according to the Great Elder!" Xie Tingfeng raised his eyes to the sky, pretending to be sad and indignant.
"What nonsense!" Liu Bingquan was so angry that he couldn't step forward and kill this open-mouthed kid.
"If, my guess is right, your cultivation should be a high-level martial sect, right? Then, you have the cultivation of a high-level martial sect, and I can also think that you killed Gou Xiong. Think about it, how could I, a little disciple, be able to kill a Martial Sect? If the people in the Punishment Department didn't think with their butts, they wouldn't have such naΓ―ve inferences. β
"You ......" Liu Bingquan was speechless with anger.
"Great Elder, don't talk nonsense with him, this kid is just messing around. This matter is very easy to do, let's search his soul sea, and everything will fall into place. Third Elder Zhu Jie said.
"Isn't it good to treat the disciples of this sect like this? Although the use of the soul searching technique will not be fatal, it will harm his soul and affect the improvement of his cultivation in the future. What's more, Xie Tingfeng is a cultivation genius that is rare in this sect in a hundred years, and he was specially approved by Elder Wei Chi San to be promoted to the inner gate. I'm afraid ......," Elder Su Buqing was faintly worried in his heart.
"It's okay, this kid is just an inner disciple. There are so many genius disciples like our Heavenly Sword Sect, there are not many more of him, and there are no more of them. I am in charge of this matter, and I will bear it if something happens. Elder Su and Elder Zhu, which of you is going to search his soul sea?"
Although Su Buqing felt that it was inappropriate, the official level crushed people to death, so he had to reserve his opinion. When he heard Liu Bingquan's question, he didn't say anything. He knew that Xie Tingfeng had a good relationship with Martial King Wei Chi Qingming, and his cultivation was not high, but he was full of weirdness. If you can, it's better not to mess with it. Whoever provokes him is in big trouble. He will be like a piece of dog skin plaster, which will be attached to whoever is attached to him, and he will not be able to get rid of it easily, which is very uncomfortable.
"Great Elder, I'll search!"
The third elder, Zhu Jie, walked towards Xie Tingfeng with a cruel smile, and was about to start searching for souls.
Su Buqing looked at Zhu Jie, shook his head, and thought, you have a big deal, and you are going to be a tragedy.
"Wait! Who gave you the right to search for the soul of a disciple at will? What disciple has no secrets of cultivation and private life? By doing so, you are violating the disciple's rights, and I will go to the sect to sue you!" As soon as Xie Tingfeng heard that he was going to search for his soul, he immediately became anxious. Because not only does he hide a lot of secrets, but Gou Xiong and others were indeed killed by him.
"Xie Tingfeng, don't worry, we will not probe into secrets that have nothing to do with this matter. I believe that Elder Zhu will not be so bored to peek into a disciple's secret. Elder Zhu, do you say yes?" Su Buqing said to Zhu Jie.
"That's, that's!" Third Elder Zhu Jie was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Feng, just let them search, there are me and the conch. β
Xie Tingfeng listened to Meng Yuxuan's words, and he had a bottom in his heart. He said to the three elders: "You can search if you want, but if you can't find it, I want you to apologize to me, restore my reputation, and send me back." β
Su Buqing said secretly, did you tell me right?
"Where did you get so many requests? But I'm in charge and can grant your requests. Great Elder Liu Bingquan said this, secretly calculating in his heart. If it is really found out that Xie Tingfeng is related to this matter, he will be killed immediately.
Xie Tingfeng closed his eyes and waited for Zhu Jie's soul search.
Third Elder Zhu Jie pressed his palm on Xie Tingfeng's soul sea, urging his divine consciousness to slowly enter.
