Chapter 298: Waiting

"You've caught a sneaky pious Taoist?"

"That's right, please also ask a few Dao Masters to go with us to confirm if that Dao Master's identity is true."

At this time, some of the Jiuxuanmen monks who had grabbed Ye Kui had already come to the attic where the Qianxi Guan Daoists lived, and began to talk to the Qianxi Guan Daoists about Ye Kui.

After a while, Jiang Zhijin, who heard the movement, also came here, and after hearing the description of the monk of the Nine Xuanmen, Jiang Zhijin was sure that the monk was Ye Kui.

"Senior Uncle, then I and a few senior brothers will follow these Nine Xuanmen Daoists to see the situation, and we will come back in a while."

"Okay, then you go and come back quickly."

"Got it, uncle."

Afterwards, Jiang Zhijin and the seven Qianxi Guan Taoist priests followed those Nine Xuanmen monks to the place where Ye Kui was imprisoned.

Along the way, Jiang Zhijin was also very puzzled, how could Ye Kui's ability encounter such a thing? Could it be that Ye Kui was deliberately taken away by the Nine Xuanmen monks in order to get some information from the Nine Xuanmen monks?

After Jiang Zhijin thought for a while, they had already come to the secret room.

"Please wait a while, our senior brother should be back soon, and then he will personally take you to see the monk."

It was similar to what the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks who left this secret room had instructed before, and at this time, a monk in the secret room saw Jiang Zhijin and the other pious Taoist priests entering the secret room and began to ask Jiang Zhijin and them to sit down and wait.

After all, the leaders of these Nine Xuanmen monks, that is, their fellow senior brothers, have not yet returned.

"No need, just take us to take a look, whether the other party is a pious Taoist priest, we can determine at a glance."

At this time, Jiang Zhijin said that he wanted to directly meet the monk who was captured by these Nine Xuanmen monks, that is, Ye Kui.

"This Dao Leader, just wait a little longer, I believe that Senior Brother will be back soon, during this period, if you have any other doubts, then you can just say it, and we will answer your questions appropriately."

The monk of Jiuxuanmen continued to say to Jiang Zhijin's Taoist priest in the mainland.

"And how are you doing?"

Jiang Zhijin immediately asked the other party after hearing what the Nine Xuanmen monks on the other side said.

"Dao Chief, what do you mean by progress?"

"The murderer."

"I'm sorry, Chief, we can't reveal much about this for now, but I can tell you clearly that we've been on the move."

The Nine Xuanmen monks hesitated for a moment before answering Jiang Zhijin.

"Then you don't feel anything after looking at the corpses of those monks? I remember that the monks killed by that murderer also included you Nine Xuanmen monks."

Jiang Zhijin tried to bring up what the murderer had done to elicit the emotions of the Nine Xuanmen monks on the other side.

However, after hearing this, the Jiuxuanmen on the opposite side only looked at Jiang Zhijin for a while, and did not continue to say anything.

It seems that these Nine Xuanmen monks were given a gag order by the upper echelons of the Nine Xuanmen, and they are still of that extremely strict type.

"Fellow Daoist of the Nine Xuanmen, can you tell me directly what questions you can answer?"

Jiang Zhijin felt that the Nine Xuanmen monks in this secret room must not be able to say any useful information, especially related to the murderer, so Jiang Zhijin asked the other party this.

However, just when the Nine Xuanmen monks on the opposite side wanted to say something, the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks in this secret room returned.

"It seems that I came back at the right time, Dao Elders of the Qianxi Temple, I hope you will not be affected by his words after you meet that monk, you just need to make sure that the monk is the Taoist priest of your Qianxi Temple, and we will talk about the rest when we come back here."

After the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks returned to this secret room, he immediately said to Jiang Zhijin and other Qianxi Daoists.

Then Jiang Zhijin and several other Taoist priests from Qianxiguan followed those Nine Xuanmen monks towards the second-floor underground prison below the secret room.

When the cell where Ye Kui was located was opened again

, Jiang Zhijin and the others finally saw Ye Kui, but at this time, Ye Kui was still wearing the previous human skin mask.

"Zhijin, why are you here? If you come a little later, my money Sanwen may have to be locked up in this dark iron box for the rest of my life."

Ye Kui, who was sitting on the edge of the bed as before, took the initiative to say to Ye Kui.

"Three... Senior Brother Sanwen, Uncle and Uncle also said, don't wander around in the Xuanyu Plain, it's okay now, the misunderstanding is like this, and in the end, Senior Brother Sanwen, you were directly caught here by the Taoist friends of Jiuxuanmen."

Jiang Zhijin reacted immediately after hearing Ye Kui claiming to be Qian Sanwen, so Jiang Zhijin answered Ye Kui in front of other pious Taoist priests.

"Zhi Jin, can you directly tell those Nine Xuanmen Daoists standing behind you my identity?"

Ye Kui then said.

"Senior Brother Qian is right, then Senior Brother Qian, you can wait a while."

After Jiang Zhijin answered Ye Kui, he turned to look at those Nine Xuanmen monks.

"Fellow Daoists of the Nine Xuanmen, this person who was caught by you is indeed Senior Brother Qian Sanwen Qian, a Taoist priest of our Pious Meditation Temple, I don't know what Senior Brother Qian did to be caught here?"

At this time, Jiang Zhijin asked those Nine Xuanmen monks curiously.

"Since he is really a Taoist priest of your pious meditation view, then you can just take him out of here, and you don't need to ask about other things."

After the leader of the Nine Xuanmen Monks said this to Jiang Zhijin, he led the other Nine Xuanmen Monks towards the outside of the cell.

Then Ye Kui followed Jiang Zhijin and them out of here.

On the way to the attic, Jiang Zhijin deliberately asked the other Qianxi Taoist priests to go first, and he wanted to talk to Ye Kui about something, and those Qianxi Taoist priests didn't know the Taoist priest called Qian Sanwen at all.

But they could also see some of the situation from Jiang Zhijin's performance, and then they regarded Ye Kui as a fellow senior brother or a relatively high-ranking Qianxi Taoist priest who had been in retreat for a long time before.

"Zhi Jin, I'm bothering you this time."

After the other pious Taoist priests walked away, Ye Kui said to Jiang Zhijin.

"Ye Kui, you better hurry up and tell me what you did to get caught there by the Nine Xuanmen monks? Also, did you get any additional clues about the murderer?"

Jiang Zhijin didn't care much about following the Nine Xuanmen monks to the prison to help Ye Kui prove his identity, Jiang Zhijin just wanted to find out what was going on.

"Zhi Jin, didn't you and I notice the black smoke outside the window this afternoon? Then I thought about wandering around at night, and then I happened to come to the ruins of a large hall that had been burned by fire, so I was curious to take a closer look.

In the end, I was inexplicably caught by the Nine Xuanmen monks who suddenly appeared, and I tried to explain to the Nine Xuanmen monks at the scene, but those Nine Xuanmen monks didn't listen to my explanation at all, but directly arrested me in the cell of the prison below."

At this time, Ye Kui explained to Jiang Zhijin on the side what happened at that time.

"Then why don't you just run away? Do you have to tie your hands down?"

Jiang Zhijin didn't believe that Ye Kui was arrested so easily, anyway, Jiang Zhijin felt that Ye Kui was either arrested on purpose, or there were very powerful Jiuxuanmen monks at the scene at that time, and then Ye Kui thought that he was not the opponent of those Jiuxuanmen monks and was caught in prison.

"Zhi Jin, if I really fled the scene directly at that time, wouldn't that directly indicate that I have a ghost in my heart? In this way, the surrounding Nine Xuanmen will definitely think that I am the murderer, and afterwards, the monks of the Nine Xuanmen Sect in the entire Xuanyu Plain may come to arrest me, and even other monks from the Immortal Sect and the sect will also participate.

At that point, I will be justified and I will not be able to explain, even if you have your pious view to testify on my behalf, it may not work, and I will most likely be used as a scapegoat in the end.

Zhi Jin, did you say?"

After Ye Kui finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced behind him to make sure that those Nine Xuanmen monks were not following them, but Ye Kui found that his worries were a little unnecessary.

In Ye Kui's pious view of the Taoist priest left the underneath

After the prison, the Nine Xuanmen monks no longer continued to waste time on Ye Kui, because they not only confirmed that Ye Kui was really a pious Xiguan Daoist, but the leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks also brought back the new orders of the Great Elder.

As a result, those Nine Xuanmen monks in the secret room before had already begun to work and were busy with other things, and they had no time to follow Ye Kui and other Qianxi Taoist priests.

"Ye Kui, it makes sense for you to say this, but I still think that it is actually more likely that you will be caught by those Nine Xuanmen monks on your own initiative, after all, if you want to hide, then the other party will definitely not be able to find you."

"That's true, but Zhi Jin, you should also know that when everyone is careless, it was actually me who accidentally triggered the magic circle in the ruins, so those Nine Xuanmen monks knew my location and immediately felt that the scene blocked my retreat, and finally I thought about it for a while before I decided to let those Nine Xuanmen monks kidnap and take them away."

Ye Kui knew that Jiang Zhijin didn't know what else was going on at that time, so Ye Kui told Jiang Zhijin more details.

"That's right, that's okay, but Ye Kui, did you do anything after you were taken to prison by those Nine Xuanmen monks and locked up?"

Jiang Zhijin nodded, and after answering Ye Kui, he continued to ask Ye Kui about what happened after that.

"That's not true, I think those Nine Xuanmen monks didn't force me to confess because they didn't force me to confess because they were concerned about my identity as a Taoist priest, but they wanted to wait until you came to the prison to make sure that my identity as a Taoist priest was true before making a decision on whether to torture me or something."

Ye Kui also expressed the situation at that time and some of his own views now.

"Ye Kui, if I or other pious disciples don't go to the underground prison to give you the identity of the evidence, then will you be in trouble?"

"Maybe that's the case, but Zhi Jin, I know you'll definitely come over after hearing the descriptions of those Nine Xuanmen monks, otherwise your thugs may really be gone."

Although Ye Kui said so now, Ye Kui at that time had already made other plans, that is, if Jiang Zhijin really didn't come to the underground prison to prove Ye Kui's identity as a pious Taoist priest to the Jiuxuanmen monks, then Ye Kui would forcibly break out of the underground prison. Five

After all, Ye Kui also knew that he might still be used as a scapegoat by the Nine Xuanmen Monks or be permanently locked up in that underground prison by the Nine Xuanmen Monks with the mentality that they would rather be killed by mistake than let go.

When Ye Kui and Jiang Zhijin were about to walk to the attic where the Taoist priests of Qianxi Temple lived, something was about to happen when Ye Kui and Jiang Zhijin left that place before.

"Senior brother, did you really just let that monk named Qian Sanwen leave here? If he really is the murderer or an accomplice to the murderer, then wouldn't we waste so much time in vain?"

"That's right, senior brother, even if those Taoist friends of the Qian Xi Temple prove the identity of that Qian Sanwen, it can only prove that Qian Sanwen is the Taoist priest of the Qian Xi Temple, and it can't prove whether it is the monks who Qian Sanwen killed, or participated in those things."

"Maybe we should continue to lock up that Qian Sanwen for a while, even if the Qianxi Guan Taoist priest is against it, then we can respond to them with other reasons, such as for the normal progress of the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, we can only hold on to it."

At this time, in the secret room above the underground prison where Ye Kui was imprisoned, some Jiuxuanmen monks were still discussing the matter of "Qian Sanwen".

"I've also thought about what you're worried about, but I don't think that Qian Sanwen is too suspicious, after all, that Jiang Zhijin has so much respect for Qian Sanwen, and he is a senior brother Qian, and that Qian Sanwen is also very casual when he calls Jiang Zhijin.

They should say that they have known each other for a long time, and the relationship is also very good, you should also know who Jiang Zhijin is, right?"

The leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks in the secret room said to several Nine Xuanmen monks around him.

"Jiang Zhijin? Oh, it's Jiang Zhijin, the disciple of the current master of the Qianxi Temple, senior brother, do you mean that the Taoist priest of the Qianxi Temple who talked to Qian Sanwen before was Jiang Zhijin?"

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother said this, that Qian Sanwen just now took a bite of "Zhi Jin", and I was still a little puzzled how those two words could be so familiar, Yuan

The Taoist priest who came to the pious view is Jiang Zhijin."

"Senior brother, the Jiang Zhijin you talked about shouldn't be the same Jiang Zhijin who made a bet with the Yuan Zhiji, the genius of the Jianhui Sect, after losing the battle with the Yuan Zhiji?"

"I know him, Jiang Zhijin is one of the most famous Taoist priests in the younger generation of Taoist priests in Qianxiguan, and I think the reason why Jiang Zhijin of Qianxiguan lost to the Yuan Zhiji of Jianhuimen is because Jiang Zhijin's Buddha realm is lower, otherwise he should be able to draw or lose a small loss with Yuan Zhiji, instead of a big defeat."

These monks of the Nine Xuanmen also talked about Jiang Zhijin in the end.

"It's good that you know about Jiang Zhijin, so I didn't continue to lock up that Qian Sanwen, besides, the Great Elder has already passed down a new order, as for what it is, I have already told you that there are also those senior brothers who are acting just now.

For now, we'd better focus on the orders of the Great Elder, and put other things aside for the time being, and the murderer won't be able to jump for a few days, and we will be able to find out the murderer soon."

The leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks in the secret room continued to speak to the Nine Xuanmen monks.

"Senior brother, we know what you mean, then let's go and get busy, if there is any new order, please let us know as soon as possible."

"That's right, senior brother, you just wait for news here, and we'll do the rest."

A few Nine Xuanmen monks in the secret room left here with that.

Half an hour later, the leader of another group of Nine Xuanmen monks also returned to this secret room.

"What's going on now? I heard you let the monk who was the murderer go?"

"The evidence shows that the Qianxi Guan Taoist priest named Qian Sanwen is not the murderer we thought he was, he should have just inadvertently passed by the ruins of the charred hall as he said, and then he walked in curiously to take a look, and then we rushed to the scene and caught the Qian Sanwen of the Qianxi Temple.

In this process, Qian Sanwen did not have to resist, but was very cooperative and was caught by us and locked up in the underground prison on the second floor below."

The two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks talked to each other, unaware that danger was now approaching them.

At this time, the door of the secret room was opened, and a Nine Xuanmen monk slowly walked in, and there was still a trace of imperceptible blood on the collar of this Nine Xuanmen monk.

"Elder Pan?"

"Senior Brother Pan, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you suddenly come here? The Great Elder should have said that during the special period, only the Nine Xuanmen monks who received the order were allowed to enter the secret room."

The leaders of the two Nine Xuanmen monks in the secret room also noticed that a monk walked in, and then turned their heads to look, and then saw Pan Rong, so the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks in the room said to Pan Rong respectively.

"I was just passing through here, so I stopped by to have a look, and now it's just the two of you? Where have the other brothers gone?"

Pan Rong, who walked into this secret room for the second time today, took a look at the situation in the secret room before he said to the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks.

"Senior Brother Pan, they have other things to do."

"Have you received a new order from the Great Elder? Or are you still carrying out the orders that the Great Elder had given you?"

Pan Rong asked and walked towards the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks.

"Elder Pan, you should also know some of the situation, so we won't talk about it more."

The other leader of the Nine Xuanmen monks immediately replied to Pan Rong.

"Yes, so did you find any other clues about the murderer? Can you tell us a little bit more?"

"Senior Brother Pan, you better please go back, if you want these things, then you should go directly to the Great Elder or other elders, we are not sure whether the newly discovered clues are true or false."

"It's all the same brother, you don't have to hide it from me, I hide it from you, I just want to know some new clues, by the way, I seem to have found some new clues related to that murderer, are you two interested in knowing?"

Pan Rong said that, and stood across the table in front of the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks, looking at them.

The leaders of the two Nine Xuanmen Monks were a little unaccustomed to Pan Rong's unhappy and angry expression, they remembered that Pan Rong was smiling when he saw them or other Nine Xuanmen Monks and Monks in the past, or always showing a very busy look, and there was no such incomprehensible strangeness as now.

"Senior Brother Pan, please speak."

"Elder Pan, why don't you wait until the other senior brothers return to the secret room? Then we don't have to tell them again."

"It's okay, I'll tell them again later."

Pan Rong said that, he motioned to the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks who were standing a little nervously to get on the stool.

After the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks sat down according to Pan Rong's intentions, Pan Rong began to slowly tell the clues he had discovered.

"At first, the murderer only shot at the lone monk in the Xuanyu Plain, until the past two days, the murderer was no longer as cautious as before, but became more and more arrogant, and the murderer even killed more than a hundred monks on a large scale.

Why do you two think that murderer dares to be so arrogant? Isn't he afraid of being found out and caught? Or did the murderer think that the Nine Xuanmen monks were useless and couldn't catch him at all?"

Pan Rong began to ask the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks.

"Plate... Senior Brother Pan, that murderer is really very good at hiding, and we and the other senior brothers have tried our best to search for the traces of that murderer, and I believe that after a while, we will be able to catch the murderer who can only cower and kill other monks."

"That's right, Elder Pan, and besides, the Great Elder has already passed down a new order, and we just need to act according to the Great Elder's order, which will definitely go more and more smoothly.

That murderer thought that we were helpless, but in fact, we just did it on purpose, but unfortunately the price was the death of more monks, but Elder Pan, don't spread this, after all, the Great Elder has solemnly ordered that we are not allowed to tell these things to those Nine Xuanmen monks who do not participate in this operation."

The two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks continued to answer Pan Rong.

"Oh, what you two said was a bit surprising to me, I hadn't heard it from the Great Elder before, it seems that the Great Elder was issuing different orders separately, not all of them were passed down in one order."

Pan Rong was also a little surprised after hearing what the two Nine Xuanmen monk leaders said, but he felt that this was normal, after all, the Great Elder was also extremely cautious in his work, and he also paid attention to details.

"It's almost time, do you two have anything else to say?"

"Senior Brother Pan, that's all I can say, besides, I think you seem to know a lot of things, so you shouldn't need to continue asking us."

"That's right, we don't have much information now, maybe only the murderer himself and the Great Elder know the situation best, what the murderer did has basically spread, and what is difficult now is the murderer's purpose and the murderer's hiding in the Xuanyu Plain.

Elder Pan, where do you think that murderer will hide? Or where do you think the killer is most likely to be?"

After Pan Rong continued to ask, the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks in the secret room thought for a while before answering Pan Rong.

However, neither of the two leaders of the Nine Xuanmen monks told Pan Rong other key information, such as the murderer who had come to this secret room not long ago and killed a few Jiuxuanmen monks who were still staying here, and then the murderer disappeared again.

However, both of them ended up in the same fate, and then Pan Rong would continue to stay here and wait for the arrival of the other prey.
