Ma Yilong's actions surprised everyone, and they naturally didn't expect Ma Yilong to have such courage. However, they also don't know Ma Yilong's inner thoughts, and Ma Yilong is completely forced to do so.

The matter is already obvious, Ma Yilong has been suspected by Zheng Jiang, and the only thing that makes Zheng Jiang doubt is Ma Yilong's sudden improvement in cultivation. Chasing to such a close distance last night, with Zheng Jiang's cultivation, he could already see Ma Yilong's back and cultivation clearly.

Zheng Jiang was almost certain that Ma Yilong was the person he tracked down last night. However, he had already made it clear to Jiang Shuyuan and the others just now, what he saw was a disciple of the sixth layer of qi refining, and at this time, Ma Yilong was the seventh layer of qi refining.

Although this sudden ascension coincidence may also exist, it can only be used as a guess after all, and it is not convincing at all. Moreover, Zheng Jiang also heard the previous discussions of many disciples below, and he had to think about it carefully.

Ma Yilong has a flexible mind, and he thought clearly about this layer at once, what he needs is a chance to discern. Judging from the situation of entering the door, the other party did not give him a chance to explain at all, so Ma Yilong could only use this way to create an opportunity for himself to explain.

Although it is very likely that Zheng Jiang will be offended by doing so, Ma Yilong can't take care of it so much. Anyway, he had already offended Wang Xian in the early stage of foundation building, and it was no big deal to offend one more disciple in the early stage of foundation building.

In silence, after about half a cup of tea, Jiang Shuyuan smiled and spoke. However, he did not speak to Wu Ying and Zheng Jiang, but to Ma Yilong.

"Senior Brother Ma doesn't have to be angry! Things haven't reached the last step yet, so why be so angry! Even if the two fellow disciples identify you, then you have to convince me first! Without enough evidence, no one will wronged you!" Jiang Shuyuan's expression was calm, and there was a hint of protection in his words.

"Senior brother?"

Wu Ying and Zheng Jiang were stunned at the same time, looked at Ma Yilong, and then at Jiang Shuyuan, the two glanced at each other, and their faces showed surprise at the same time. However, Jiang Shuyuan didn't pay attention to their surprise and didn't explain anything at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Jiang arched his hand towards Ma Yilong, turned his head to Wu Ying and said, "Senior Brother Wu! I thought about it carefully, in fact, it is really possible that I was wrong! Senior Brother Ma is a seventh-level qi refining person, so he should not be the person we are looking for." In my opinion, let's leave this matter at that!"

Zheng Jiang's attitude immediately changed, just now he was staring at Ma Yilong, and called him a junior, but now he took the initiative to express the idea of calming things down, and changed his mouth to call Ma Yilong a junior brother. Anyone can see that his move is entirely because of Jiang Shuyuan's junior brother.

Although Zheng Jiang and Jiang Shuyuan were both cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were both disciples without a teacher, but Jiang Shuyuan was the peak of the early stage of foundation building, while Zheng Jiang had just succeeded in building the foundation. The difference in cultivation made Zheng Jiang reluctant to offend Jiang Shuyuan.

In the world of cultivation, it is absolutely the respect of the strong, and strength is the truth. Of course, background is also part of strength. In the hearts of those immortal cultivators who have been practicing for a long time, this is already a recognized thing. Behavior like Ma Yilong, who dares to deliberately contradict people who are stronger than himself, belongs to newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and almost only exists in their beginner disciples.

Hearing Zheng Jiang's words, everyone's hearts were suddenly overjoyed, and they all felt that this matter could be ended like this, and they secretly rejoiced for Ma Yilong in their hearts. However, Wu Ying's words made everyone's heart that had just been put down immediately hang again.

"No! There are rules for the door, and since Master Ma's nephew is suspected, he should be investigated in accordance with the regulations! How can it be changed because of Senior Brother Jiang's words! Since Wu took up the post of law enforcement of the sect, he has always handled things fairly, and it is absolutely impossible to let the real murderer go unpunished!"

Wu Ying looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and his words were impassioned. Wu Ying's attitude was already very obvious, as the enforcer of the sect, his cultivation was a big level higher than Jiang Shuyuan, and he didn't buy Jiang Shuyuan's account at all. This can be seen from the fact that he still calls Ma Yilong his nephew.

When Zheng Jiang heard Wu Ying's words, his face was pale.

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Jiang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ma, blame me for not explaining the matter before, you don't have to mind! Yesterday happened to be my patrol and vigil in the mountains, and my duty is where it is, and I also have to investigate this matter, I hope you don't have any misunderstanding about me!"

When Zheng Jiang said this, he kept looking at Jiang Shuyuan. Everyone can understand that although he seems to be talking to Ma Yilong, he is actually explaining to Jiang Shuyuan. He doesn't care whether Ma Yilong cares or not, Jiang Shuyuan's attitude is what he cares about.

Ma Yilong naturally understood this, so he didn't speak after listening, but turned his head to look at Jiang Shuyuan.

Jiang Shuyuan smiled at Zheng Jiang and arched his hand: "I can understand Senior Brother Zheng's difficulty! However, since Senior Brother Wu refuses to wave his hand, he can only talk about it seriously again, so let's scrutinize it together!"

Zheng Jiang saw that Jiang Shuyuan didn't blame himself, and his heart finally calmed down, and he told the story in detail on the spot.

According to Zheng Jiang, there have been cases of disciples missing for no reason in the Purple Cloud Sect in the past, but the results have not been traced, so the night patrol has been increased. Nowadays, almost every night, there will be disciples in charge of the foundation building period to keep vigil and patrol!

This kind of thing of engaging in the obligations of the mountain gate naturally has to be done by the disciples of the outer sect. Therefore, although they are outer disciples, they are inspecting the entire sect.

There are some obvious differences between the outer disciples and the inner disciples, they often have to go out to collect elixirs and spirit stones, and they will inevitably encounter danger. Therefore, there is a shrine at the outer gate, and there is a special person in charge of guarding it. All the outer disciples, as long as they break through the first layer of qi refining, they must go to the Divine Mind Hall to leave a trace of divine thoughts.

In this way, as long as an outer disciple falls, the people in charge of guarding the Shennian Hall will immediately know about it.

Zheng Jiang happened to be on duty last night, and when he walked to the outer door, he suddenly heard a sound not far away. Zheng Jiang flew over and found a figure, and chased it all the way until the figure disappeared under the peak of his right thumb!

However, Zheng Jiang clearly saw the other party's back, as well as the cultivation of the sixth layer of qi refining. When Zheng Jiang returned to the place where the sound came from, he found a hidden cave, which still had traces of a fight and the smell of corpses being burned!

When Zheng Jiang came to the Shennian Hall with suspicion, the disciple in charge of guarding it told him that two disciples had been lost one after another just now, one was a tenth-level Qi refining disciple named Meng Qi, and the other was a seventh-level Qi refining disciple named Yan Kui. As soon as Zheng Jiang investigated, he learned that the two had never left the sect that day. In this way, the whole thing is naturally connected.

As the disciple in charge of the inspection that day, Zheng Jiang had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and he hurriedly reported the matter to Wu Ying, who was in charge of law enforcement. After Wu Ying heard this, he said on the spot that he would pursue it to the end, and took Zheng Jiang to the outer hall and asked Jiang Shuyuan to cooperate with them in the investigation.

After listening to Zheng Jiang's explanation, Ma Yilong finally understood.

When they fought in the cave, they were forbidden and not discovered by the patrol outside. And before leaving, in order to take out the jade plate buried under the cave door, he directly slapped it. It was the sound of this palm that shook Zheng Jiang, who was patrolling nearby.

Ma Yilong is a smart person, and he knows the situation in front of him very well, since Jiang Shuyuan has already come forward, there is no need for him to intervene at all. Ma Yilong smiled slightly, looking at Jiang Shuyuan calmly.

"Thank you Senior Brother Zheng for explaining!However, I want to emphasize one point, have you clearly seen the other party's appearance, can you confirm that he is Senior Brother Ma?" Jiang Shuyuan stared at Zheng Jiang, frowned, and asked with a serious expression.

"I didn't see the other party's appearance, I just felt that the back was very similar to Senior Brother Ma! And I saw that it was indeed a disciple of the sixth layer of Qi refining, which was obviously inconsistent with Senior Brother Ma!" Zheng Jiang saw Jiang Shuyuan's expression, his heart sank, and his heart hung again.

Although Zheng Jiang's words were not much, the meaning turned to that it was not Ma Yilong's doing. At this time, he wished that this matter would be over, and he hurried to end it. As for whether Ma Yilong is a murderer or not, he has nothing to do with him, he just doesn't want to offend Jiang Shuyuan.

When Jiang Shuyuan heard the answer, he nodded with satisfaction and turned his head to look at Wu Ying.

Wu Ying's attitude did not change at all, he snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Since the backs are similar, it is worth doubting! It is not impossible to suddenly be promoted overnight! From this point alone, Master Ma's nephew cannot rule out suspicion for the time being!"

When Jiang Shuyuan heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, and asked Zheng Jiang again: "Senior Brother Zheng, do you believe that Senior Brother Ma in front of you has the ability to kill those two?"

Zheng Jiang shook his head with a smile, and arched his hand: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother Jiang, I have never believed it! Even if it is a murder that crosses the level, it is impossible to cross several levels at once? I think this is just a misunderstanding, even if Senior Brother Ma is the person I chased, he cannot be the murderer!"

When Wu Ying heard this, he suddenly snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Zheng Jiang, your brain is in water! If we thought from the beginning that he couldn't be a murderer, then what are we doing here?"

When Zheng Jiang heard this, his face turned red, his head lowered, and he stopped talking. Just now, he was only concerned about showing favor to Jiang Shuyuan, and completely forgot about Wu Ying sitting above. At this time, as soon as Wu Ying was angry, Zheng Jiang didn't dare to speak anymore, and the words that angered Wu Ying were worse than offending Jiang Shuyuan, and he knew it very well in his heart.

However, the only thing that reassures Zheng Jiang is that he and Wu Ying are in frequent contact, and even if he accidentally provokes the other party, he still has a chance to explain. This is also one of the reasons why he chose to turn his attitude to Jiang Shuyuan before, he and Jiang Shuyuan have no chance to contact on weekdays, and once they have a feud, it will be difficult to resolve it.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of all the disciples sank to the bottom, making it clear that Wu Ying was unwilling to give up easily. Everyone sweated for Ma Yilong, and they all focused their eyes on Jiang Shuyuan.

Jiang Shuyuan knew that everyone had pinned their hopes on him, nodded with a smile, and suddenly turned to face Wu Ying, his attitude changed rapidly, although he still had a smile on his face, he was no longer polite when he spoke again.

"Have you ever thought about this layer, could there be a person with a relatively high cultivation level, even higher than Senior Brother Zheng's cultivation, for example, Senior Brother Wu, you yourself! In order not to attract the attention of others, you deliberately lowered your cultivation to the sixth level of qi refining and killed the two of them. If that's the case, Senior Brother Zheng won't be able to see through it, and he will mistakenly think that you are a disciple of the sixth layer of Qi refining! As for the back, I also think that Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Ma are a little similar!"

Jiang Shuyuan looked at Wu Ying and suddenly said such a thunderous sentence, which surprised everyone. Although Jiang Shuyuan had a smile on his face, his tone was full of gunpowder. When everyone admired Jiang Shuyuan's courage, their hearts also rose to their throats.

Wu Ying stood up and raised his hand suddenly, and the table in front of him was shattered. In an instant, Wu Ying stared at Jiang Shuyuan angrily, the horizontal flesh on his face couldn't stop beating, and his body exuded a strong murderous aura.

At this moment, Ma Yilong did not hesitate at all, and strode to Jiang Shuyuan's side, standing side by side with him, glaring at Wu Ying opposite. And at this moment, the divine sword in his arm was already trembling violently, and all the murderous aura around his body was released.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ming flew over and stood on the other side of Ma Yilong, although he only had the cultivation of the fourth layer of qi refining, he also did not have the slightest fear, and released all his murderous aura.

"Brothers, outside the wall, resist their insults!"

The murderous aura exuded by Ma Yilong and Fang Ming was far inferior to Wu Ying's together, but it infected all the outer hall disciples, who were born in martial arts, and they themselves had a bloody blood, and they were a group of newborn calves. Under the infection, I don't know who suddenly shouted such a sentence.

In an instant, everyone moved in unison, and they all stood beside Jiang Shuyuan and Ma Yilong. A strong murderous aura instantly permeated the scene.
