Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Rules of Murder
"You really didn't kill people?"
Near the Xiangling rice field, five corpses were placed side by side, and the expressions on their faces before death were all in disbelief.
"These five people were all killed at the same time, the murderer's speed is very fast, he can stab five swords in an instant, and even the deceased doesn't even have a chance to dodge and struggle!" Zhong Shao stared at Feng Ruodao, "And as far as I know, you have this kind of strength!"
"Senior Brother Zhong, I believe that this is not Feng Ruo's doing, there must be a hidden secret in this!And- there is another way to kill five people in an instant, and that is the strongest of the five spells, Cloud Piercing!" Ye Luo on the side couldn't help but speak.
"Through the clouds!"
Zhong Shao's eyes froze, although he was already cultivating in the foundation building period, but the cloud-piercing spell could never be learned, it can be said that among the tens of thousands of people in the entire Zhentian Sect, there will never be more than a hundred people who can successfully practice the cloud-piercing spell, this cloud-piercing spell is a metal surname spell, so the wounds are the same as the wounds left by the sword, and it is basically difficult to distinguish clearly!
But the problem is not here, but if the five Dong Xiaoyun people were really killed by the Cloud Piercing Spell, then this matter would be much more complicated! Because all the disciples who can successfully practice the Cloud Piercing Spell will be exceptionally included in the Three Upper Courts, even if they really kill someone, the Criminal Law Court will not punish them too much, this is a privilege, but now it is obvious that if Feng Ruo is really not a murderer, then someone is targeting him!
"I also believe that it is impossible for Feng Ruo to do this kind of thing, so I will temporarily suppress this matter, this time it is fortunate that I am patrolling the mountains around here, otherwise if you change to another mountain patrol disciple, Feng Ruo, you have been caught in the Criminal Law Hall by now!" Zhong Shao sighed and said.
Feng Ruo frowned, and looked at the corpses of Dong Xiaoyun's five people again, they all had only one wound on their bodies, and looking at their shapes, they were obviously pierced by some kind of sharp weapon, in other words, a sword weapon!
"Is this the power of the Cloud Piercing Spell?"
Feng Ruo's heart was awe-struck, this kind of power was enough to penetrate the defense of Lingyun's suit, in other words, if he didn't cast the shield wall defense spell, it would be extremely difficult to dodge this cloud-piercing spell.
But how could Dong Xiaoyun's five people provoke such a powerful enemy? It was only half an hour after he returned to the courtyard that these five people were killed without concealment, and he was the only one who lived in this vicinity, and he was the last person to see Dong Xiaoyun's five people, so he was the most suspicious!
Of course, there is another person, that is Xin Yue, but she doesn't seem to have a reason to kill Dong Xiaoyun and the others, as if he has no reason to kill them!
Unless Xin Yue wants to blame him?
But is this possible? What's more, Xin Yue doesn't know how to pierce the clouds spell!
"I didn't kill the person, but maybe it's for me!" Feng Ruo said calmly, "Senior Brother Zhong, according to my current situation, what should I do?"
Zhong Shao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There are three ways, first, the only people who know about this matter now are me and Ye Luo, so I just need to suppress this matter, they are just outer disciples, and if they die, they will die, and no one will pursue them!"
"Second, I will report it truthfully, and you will admit your guilt, but as long as you say that you both killed people by mistake because of the fighting, and you can prove your own strength, the Criminal Law Court will not be too embarrassed, at most you will be faced with the wall for a few years, or exiled for a few years!"
"Third, I'll help you suppress it for the time being, but you have to catch the real murderer in a short period of time! But I don't recommend you to do this, because you must know that our immortal cultivation world has always been the law of the jungle, and it is common to kill or be killed, if that murderer has a strong background, even if you find him out, you will not be punished, but will offend many people because of it! This is extremely detrimental to your future development!"
After listening to Zhong Shao's words, Feng Ruo was speechless, he was almost sure that things were not so simple, Dong Xiaoyun and the five of them were just ants-like existence, no one would waste their strength to kill them, the only possibility was that someone was yin against him, so he had to figure out what the intentions of this invisible enemy were?
Judging from Zhong Shao's explanation, even if he admits to killing Dong Xiaoyun and the five others, he will not fight for his life, and the worst thing is just to face the wall or exile, but is this the other party's motive? Obviously impossible, so the other party must have a backup move!
As soon as Feng Ruo thought of this, several flying mounts quickly appeared in the air in the distance!
"Oh no! It's the Ninth Mountain Patrol Team, things are in trouble, why did they come here?" Zhong Shao suddenly frowned.
The flying mount of the Ninth Mountain Patrol Team was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it landed to the ground violently, and after glancing at the corpses of Dong Xiaoyun's five people, the first one with a gloomy look on his beard shouted: "Who is Feng Ruo, someone reported that you wantonly killed the outer disciples of this sect!
"Jia Huzi, where is the whistleblower? I'm the first to come here, so I can't help you talk nonsense!" Zhong Shao said with a displeased face.
"Zhong Shao, this is my territory, you ran here without permission, as for the whistleblower, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it's Mo Yan from the Third Court, do you have any questions?"
"Mo-Yan!" Zhong Shao's face changed, as if he understood something, he glanced at Feng Ruo helplessly, and didn't say anything more.
"Mo Yan?" Feng Ruo was also stunned, he was not unfamiliar with this name, when he said that in Qinglan Lake, Senior Sister Qiu and Xin Yue had mentioned it, it seemed that he was a guy who was quite accomplished in the formation, with the arrogance of Senior Sister Qiu, he also looked adoring when he mentioned this person, but now, he had roughly understood what was going on.
"I'm Feng Ruo, go to the Criminal Law Palace, it's okay, but I need to pack up my things!" Feng Ruo said very calmly.
"Hehe, no problem, but don't think about running away, you know the consequences!" Na Jia Hu sneered, and didn't stop it, several of their mountain patrol disciples were all cultivating in the foundation building period, so naturally they didn't worry that Feng Ruo would really escape!
"Feng Ruo!" At this time, Zhong Shao stopped him with words, "Remember what I told you, in this sect, unless it is collusion with outsiders to betray the sect, or it is to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, there will not be much punishment!"
"I understand, Senior Brother Zhong, thank you!" Feng Ruo hugged his fists at Zhong Shao and Ye Luo, and then turned around and returned to his courtyard, of course he didn't want to escape, because in that case, as Zhong Shao said, it was already tantamount to betraying Zhentian Sect, and he just fell into that Mo Yan's trap!
Feng Ruo didn't have anything to pack, and when he came back, he just released a few Wood Evil Sword Qi towards the eleven spirit trees, because he didn't want to give this benefit to others for nothing.
Of course, Feng Ruo never liked to be submissive, he just wanted to find out, what was Mo Yan's true intention? After all, they had never been in contact with each other, so it stands to reason that there could be no grudges, and this matter seemed to involve Xin Yue, so he couldn't help but figure it out!
"Brother Bird, what about you, are you going with me, or are you going back to find your real master?" Glancing at the blue bird that was still combing his feathers proudly, Feng Ruo said helplessly, since he got the ring, he had never really controlled this blue bird, but he always believed that this guy was doing it on purpose.
"You can do it yourself! I'm leaving!" Feng Ruo sighed, he knew that this would be the result, waved his hand, turned around and prepared to leave, but the moment he turned around, the blue bird suddenly turned into a blue light without warning, and disappeared into the ring on Feng Ruo's hand.
"Hehe! It's really inexplicable!" Feng Ruo was stunned, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, it seems that this blue bird is also smart, but it's okay, at least at a critical time, escape is guaranteed.
Seeing Feng Ruo come out at this time, the Jia Huzi and the others didn't say anything, they unsealed their flying mounts one after another, and took the lead in the direction of Jietian Peak, as if they were not worried that Feng Ruo would escape halfway.
Nodding to Zhong Shao and Ye Luo, Feng Ruo unsealed the third-level vulture and followed, and now even he was curious about what tricks that Mo Yan was playing.
Zhentian Sect's Criminal Law Hall is on the other side of Jietian Peak, there are a total of nine halls, and it looks a little eerie from a distance, and even Jia Huzi and the others showed a trace of respectful expression when they came here.
Before coming to the first hall, Najia Huzi and the others stopped and motioned for Feng Ruo to walk in by himself.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Ruo still took the initiative to walk in, he was sure that Mo Yan would definitely not be so simple if he took so much pains.
However, when Feng Ruo walked into the hall, he found that the hall was very quiet, and there was no figure in sight, so he looked around for a moment before he saw an old man with white hair in an inconspicuous corner on the left side of the hall.
"How many people did you kill?" Before Feng Ruo could speak, the old man asked without raising his head.
Feng Ruo was stunned for a moment, and could only smile bitterly: "Back to my predecessors, I didn't kill anyone!"
"Since you didn't kill anyone, how could you be sent here by the Mountain Patrol Disciples? They said you killed a few people?" the old man said to himself, still looking at himself.
"Uh! They said I killed five!" Feng Ruo was a little confused, didn't this old man ask about the merits?
"Five? Not bad! You are very courageous, defeat these five paper figures, and you can live!" The old man waved his hand casually at this time, and saw five white lights flashing, and then Feng Ruo was surrounded by five more men and women who were no different from real people, and their cultivation was all in the late stage of Qi refining.
"This-senior, I didn't kill anyone!" Feng Ruo was a little anxious, what is this?
"Murder or not, you can go all out, because these five paper figures will not show mercy, if you die here, you deserve it! If you can defeat all the paper figures, there will naturally be no charge of murder, this is the rule of this sect!" the old man still said indifferently.
"Rules!" Feng Ruo suddenly understood, this is Mo Yan's real trap, because according to the rules of this Zhentian Sect, killing a person means defeating a paper man in this hall, if he is killed by a paper man, it is naturally equivalent to killing people to pay for his life, but if the strength is enough, he will be like Zhong Shao said, he can be exiled or face the wall for a few years!
But the strength of these paper people will exceed the realm of murderers, so except for those cultivation geniuses, most of the disciples of Zhentian Sect may not be able to beat these paper people, so this is equivalent to maintaining the order within the sect in disguise, which can not only keep the blood surname of the sect, but it will not cause chaos due to indiscriminate killing, so even if there are disciples of Zhentian Sect who want to kill, they have to consider whether they can defeat the paper people in this criminal law court!
But now, that bastard Mo Yan actually killed five of them in one go, and then bought off Jia Hu and a few people, and framed him, and what's even worse is that this criminal law palace doesn't seem to care whether the murderer is wronged or not!
As a result, now, Feng Ruo has to face five paper figures in the late stage of qi refining at once!
This is the real killing without seeing blood!
