Chapter 148: Snatching and Solving the Case (2-in-1)
As soon as the Guanglan Demon Lord entered the study, he felt that something was wrong, and after looking around, he didn't see any reason.
He thought that maybe he was too careful, so he didn't think much about it, closed the door of the study, sat down in front of the desk, took out an encrypted jade slip of sound transmission, and read the secret letter in it.
At this time, Ji Chen's soul was divided, hiding in the shadows, and seeing that the Guanglan Demon Lord seemed to have a slight sense of the formation he had laid out, he had to admit that the level of the Guanglan Demon Lord's formation had indeed reached an extremely high level.
Seeing that the Guanglan Demon Lord was fully engaged in official business, Ji Chen also felt that the time had come, so he immediately stopped hesitating and activated the big array according to the plan.
A veil-like mist rose silently in the study, and this mist filled the entire study, and the mist shrouded it was as if it had entered another world, isolated from the original world.
The first step is to block the study from the outside world, preventing the Guanglan Demon Lord from asking for help or passing on messages.
And in the moment after the mist was filled, the Guanglan Demon Lord noticed something, raised his head to look around, and immediately changed his face and wanted to ask for help, but it was too late!
A silver pattern lit up under his feet, and the pattern grew rapidly as if it were alive, and spread out of the ground to the chair where the Guanglan Demon Lord was sitting, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to the Guanglan Demon Lord, like a chain binding him.
This second step is to trap the Guanglan Demon Lord, prevent him from escaping, and make him unable to take any action.
From the moment the Guanglan Demon Lord sat on that chair, he was already doomed to be unable to resist and could only be slaughtered by others.
This binding formation not only bound the Guanglan Demon Lord's physical body, but also bound his soul and divine consciousness in a narrow range.
Guanglan Demon Lord was unwilling to be restrained, and the Demon Yuan came out through his body, accurately attacking the weak point of the formation, and wanted to break a way out with his own formation.
However, immediately after that, the third formation lit up, completely shattering his hopes.
The function of the third formation is to detain the soul.
It is not to destroy the soul, it is not easy to directly destroy the soul of a Demon Lord-level powerhouse, but it is much easier to detain it out of the body.
However, this was also met with fierce resistance from the Guanglan Demon Lord, and a suction force continued to pull his soul out, trying to pull it out of the body, but the soul of the Guanglan Demon Lord continued to resist and pull with this suction.
After a moment of stalemate like this, the soul of the Guanglan Demon Lord was gradually exhausted, and he was finally pulled out of his body.
He also wanted to return to his body, but the fourth formation arranged by Ji Chen was activated, this was a sealing formation, and Ji Chen worked this formation.
It was not easy to rely on the formation to stably seal the soul of an immortal monarch, as soon as this fourth formation was launched, it instantly devoured the power of the first three formations, and the isolation and restraint of the Guanglan Demon Lord disappeared at the same time, transforming into the power of the seal to seal his soul.
The soul of the Guanglan Demon Lord desperately attacked the seal, but the space that sealed his soul became smaller and smaller, and his soul body was constantly compressed.
And Ji Chen's split soul also took the opportunity to fly out of the shadows and burrow into the body of the Guanglan Demon Lord.
The snatch has begun!
As soon as Ji Chen's split soul entered the body of the Guanglan Demon Lord, he felt a strong sense of rejection, and this body was resisting his entry.
Moreover, the Guanglan Demon Lord is still alive, even if the soul is separated from the body, this physical body is still regarded as a master's thing, and it still has a constant connection with the Guanglan Demon Monarch, and can carry out some simple manipulation of the physical body.
If Ji Chen wants to completely occupy this body, he must first get rid of the Guanglan Demon Lord.
The Fourth Sealing Formation was still compressing the Vast Lan Demon Lord's soul, eventually compressing his soul into a small space the size of a fist.
Ji Chen's soul burned, and the power of the soul exploded, and he completely controlled this body for a short time, pinched the soul of the Guanglan Demon Lord, and launched the soul searching technique.
A moment later, the soul of the Guanglan Demon Lord was scattered, and the repulsive power of this physical body against Ji Chen also disappeared.
Ji Chen quickly absorbed the useful parts of the majestic memories of the Guanglan Demon Lord, such as the Xuancang Demon Emperor, and the big man who appreciated the Guanglan Demon Lord in the early Yuan Demon Domain, as well as the various characters in the Guanglan Demon Lord's social circle, etc., Ji Chen absorbed these memories mainly to not show up in the process of playing the Guanglan Demon Lord in the future.
After the seizure was successful, Ji Chen's split soul and Guanglan Demon Lord's physical body were not yet fully compatible, and it would take some time to polish them, but ordinary people couldn't see the flaws.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door of the study, and the subordinates of the Guanglan Demon Lord shouted: "My lord, Yu Jiang has an accident!" ”
Ji Chen stood up slowly, waved his hands to cover up all the traces of the formation in the study, and then said coldly: "Come in." ”
The subordinate opened the door of the study, with a panic on his face, and said: "My lord, I went to ask Mr. Yu Jiang from below, but I have not received a response, and I opened the door in a hurry and found that Mr. Yu Jiang has ......."
"Dead?" Ji Chen reluctantly stood up from his seat, his terrifying momentum leaking out, and his face was full of anger.
"Yes." The subordinate nodded hurriedly, "The subordinates have checked, and no traces of a fight have been found in the room, Mr. Yu Jiang seems to have died from a soul attack, and according to the judgment of his subordinates, the time of death may be more than two days." ”
Ji Chen's face was cloudy, and after pondering for a long time, he spoke: "Move his body to the front hall, and inform the Xianxing Demon Lord and all the other people above the Heavenly Demon Realm in the mansion to meet in the front hall." ”
"Yes!"
When his subordinates retreated, Ji Chen's face returned to calm, and he sat back on the chair to continue to familiarize himself with this body, while digesting the memories of the Guanglan Demon Lord, practicing some of his habitual small movements and tone of speech.
After waiting for half an hour, I went from the study to the antechamber.
When Ji Chen came to the front hall, everyone had already arrived, waiting for him to arrive.
He swept his gaze across the crowd and saw the Xianxing Demon Monarch, Luo Ji, who pretended to be calm, and Yu Jiang's corpse lying in the middle of the front hall.
Ji Chen had a straight face, his face was majestic, and he walked to the main seat in the front hall in two steps, and said in a cold and hard tone: "You know what you are calling over, right?" ”
Before the others could move, Xianxing Demon Jun Dong knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed to Ji Chen and asked for guilt: "My subordinates should die, they didn't protect the safety of the house, so that the thieves had a chance to take advantage of it, and please punish the adults!" ”
Ji Chen pretended to carefully sweep over Jiang's corpse with his divine sense, and said, "Yu Jiang should have died two days ago, where were you on that day, did you leave your post without permission?" ”
Several guards behind the Xianxing Demon Monarch looked at each other, and they didn't wait for the Xianxing Demon Monarch to speak, and they all took the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt.
"My lord, my subordinates should be damned!"
Xianxing Demon Monarch also hurriedly said: "In the evening of that day, I took a few brothers to the Desire Demon Cave, and I didn't return until the next morning. ”
At this time, Luo Ji, who had been silent, suddenly came out of the crowd, knelt down and said, "My lord, if you punish me, you should also punish me, that day I dragged Brother Xianxing and several brothers to the Demon Cave of Desire, and they couldn't resist me so they reluctantly went with me, and this matter is my responsibility." ”
Ji Chen listened quietly, and when Luo Ji finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and no one made a sound.
Everyone was waiting for Ji Chen to speak, and they couldn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation in Ji Chen's expression, which made their hearts more and more bottomless.
Ji Chen suddenly stepped down from his seat and circled around Yu Jiang's corpse twice, every step he took seemed to step on everyone's hearts, making their breathing become heavy.
Finally, Ji Chen spoke, and only spit out two words: "Answer." ”
Everyone was puzzled, and Xianxing Demon Monarch raised his face, just in time to meet Ji Chen's cold gaze.
"Give me an answer today and tell me who the murderer is." Ji Chen retracted his gaze and continued, "If it's late or the answer is wrong, then I think the Demon Cave may still need a group of male prostitutes. ”
The Xianxing Demon Monarch and the others all shivered from the bottom of their hearts when they heard this, and Luo Ji was even more cold, and he had a bad premonition.
The extent to which the Guanglan Demon Lord attached great importance to this matter completely exceeded his expectations.
And he knew that Xianxing Demon Monarch knew that he was the murderer, and once he was cornered, he would definitely not shelter him.
The only hope in his heart now is that the magic flute he used to commit murder was given by the Xianxing Demon Lord, and if the Xianxing Demon Monarch didn't want to involve himself, then things would have a chance to turn around.
But at this moment, Ji Chen suddenly bent down and took out a faint remnant soul from Yu Jiang's body, exuding an eerie and fierce aura.
"It seems that the murderer is a ghost who kills people." Ji Chen casually threw this remnant soul in front of the Xianxing Demon Lord.
This remnant soul was deliberately left by Ji Chen when the Demon Lord and the Devil attacked, so that it was at this time.
Xianxing Demon Monarch carefully took the remnant soul and pretended to look up and down, but in fact, he had already set off a storm in his heart, and constantly secretly scolded Luo Ji for being a fool and leaving such obvious evidence.
He was now faced with a choice whether to confess Luo Ji now.
If Luo Ji confessed now, he still had room for defense, after all, the magic flute was only a gift he gave Luo Ji for self-defense, and he didn't know anything about Luo Ji's killing of Yu Jiang.
If he continues to conceal it now, once Luo Ji is found out later, he will not be able to clear it at all.
And as soon as Luo Ji saw the remnant soul, his heart instantly turned to ashes, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered.
He knew that the Xianxing Demon Lord was now facing multiple pressures, and it was almost impossible to hide it for him anymore.
Sure enough, Xianxing Demon Monarch suddenly exclaimed, and said to Ji Chen: "My lord, my subordinates have made a major discovery!" ”
"Say!"
"The more I look at this remnant soul, the more familiar it becomes, and I remember that it is the ghost of the demon lord from one of the subordinate demon flutes......"
Ji Chen's gaze instantly became sharp, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is this flute now?" ”
"Three days ago, my subordinates gave this thing to Luo Ji for self-defense."
Ji Chen also knew that this matter was also related to the Xianxing Demon Monarch, but Luo Ji was the murderer, and he had expected it, so he immediately turned his attention to Luo Ji.
Luo Ji hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, and argued: "My subordinates should be damned, I lingered in the Demon Cave that day, and when I woke up, the magic flute had been stolen." ”
Luo was extremely cautious, and after returning from the Demon Cave that day, he immediately abandoned the magic flute in the barren mountains outside the city.
But even so, his defense still pales in comparison, after all, everyone knows that as soon as Yu Jiang died, he was the biggest beneficiary.
Ji Chen didn't bother with Luo Ji, but just said to Xianxing Demon Monarch: "Before tonight, I want a result." ”
With that, he turned and left, leaving everyone in the front hall in a deathly silence.
……
After Ji Chen returned to the study, it didn't take long for someone to ask to see him.
This person Ji Chen also knows, this person's name is Peng Xin, and he is a formation apprentice who was attached to Jiang by Ji Chen.
Seeing that he was honest, Ji Chen casually pointed out some formation knowledge to him, so he was a little grateful to Jiang Po.
Peng Xin said: "My lord, Teacher Yu Jiang must have been killed by Luo Ji, and please avenge Teacher Yu Jiang!" ”
Ji Chen said: "Why are you so sure? ”
"Because the villain heard by chance from Luo Ji's apprentice, Luo Ji was quite angry with Teacher Jiang, and on the night of the incident, he invited Lord Xianxing to go to the Desire Demon Cave together, and the time was strange."
Ji Chen nodded: "I know, you go down." ”
……
Luo Ji was sitting on pins and needles, and the attitude of the Guanglan Demon Lord towards this matter was beyond his expectations, and he returned to his room, thinking about various countermeasures.
Run away?
Then the charge of his murderer will be completely confirmed, and he will be wanted.
The entire Demon Realm is subservient to the Demon Emperor of the Beginning of the Yuan, and he can't get rid of his wanted identity wherever he goes.
And now that all sides of his room are guarded by the Xianxing Demon Lord, it is impossible to escape.
But if you stay here, you don't seem to have a way to live.
Until nightfall, the Xianxing Demon Lord returned from outside, holding the magic flute, and entered the Luo Ji room.
No one knew what the two had discussed, and a quarter of an hour later, Xianxing Demon Monarch escorted Luo Ji, who was like ashes, out of the room, and the two came to the front yard of the mansion.
Half an hour later, the front yard was full of people.
When Ji Chen came, Xianxing Demon Jun reported: "My lord, the murderer has been identified, it is Luo Ji, he has confessed, and I ask you to deal with it." ”
"What a bold man, he dares to commit murder in the domain capital, under the nose of the Demon Emperor!"
"We are all used by you, it's too late to regret it!"
Several guards pointed at Luo Ji and scolded bitterly.
And Luo Ji, still making the last struggle, said loudly: "My lord, it's all because I was blinded by jealousy for a while, so I made a big mistake, I know that I was wrong, and please let me live in the net!" ”
As he spoke, he gestured to the Xianxing Demon Monarch with his eyes, and it was the Xianxing Demon Monarch who agreed to intercede for him, and even analyzed the pros and cons for him, so that he reluctantly agreed to confess.
Of course, if he didn't confess at that time, what was waiting for him might be the first to kill the Xianxing Demon Monarch.
Seeing that Ji Chen didn't react, Luo Ji privately sent a message to Ji Chen: "My lord, you are magnanimous, can you give me a chance to make up for my mistakes, I am your only successor at the moment!" ”
It would take more time to train another successor, and then again, he Luo Ji was indeed the best of the younger generation of array mages.
Kill him, it is indeed difficult for the Guanglan Demon Lord to find a better candidate than him.
But who knew that Ji Chen was unmoved, and said, "Kill." ”
Luo Ji's face changed wildly, and he shouted: "I still have something to say, salty ......"
He reacted that he had been deceived by the Xianxing Demon Monarch, and wanted to pull the Xianxing Demon Monarch into the water.
However, how could the Xianxing Demon Lord give him a chance, at the moment when Ji Chen gave the order, the butcher knife in his hand fell, and Luo Ji's soul flew away, and his body died.
