"A total of five disciples of your sect were killed, but it is a pity that one of the young female disciples was unyielding and unwilling to fall into the hands of the demon demons, and at the last moment, she ignited the fire in her heart**, and there were no bones, so there are only four bodies here. ”

Zhang Qian explained slightly, his tone was calm, no joy or sorrow.

"There are no bones left of Master Ziying's nephew?" Among the several people, a woman with a beautiful face and eyebrows like willow leaves was a little incredulous for a while when she heard this, and she was stunned and muttered to herself.

There was a bit of doubt in the sad emotion, but he didn't say it, only speculated in his heart.

Ziying was brought up by her since she was a child, her temper and personality are clear, she is a little pretentious, timid, and she usually doesn't want to eat hard when she practices swords, and this time she is also the first time she has traveled to the world, and she has no experience in fighting with people before this, how can she have the determination to burn jade with people at this juncture? It's just a guess, how can he be convicted at will, but in his heart, he is more and more suspicious of this Taishang Taoist, and secretly wonders how he can test him.

Outsiders naturally don't know such thoughts, but when she is sad in her heart, she comforts her: "Ziying's nephew is a move of sacrificing his life for righteousness, which can be an example for the younger disciples, and the Scarlet Dao people don't need to be sad, so they will be thoroughly investigated at this time to find out the culprit, and they must be beaten into the animal path, and they will be sunk by a hundred generations, and they will never be freed." "The person who spoke was a Taoist in Yangshan Xiaodongtian, and his cultivation was second only to the person who pressed the sword at the head, and there was a feeling of being in charge of power between the words, the authority was grand, and his eyes fell on Zhang Qian, and he was quite dissatisfied with his attitude of staying out of the matter, not to mention that this person himself was quite suspicious, and he didn't know what role he played in this matter.

There was murderous intent in his eyes, and he reprimanded: "Who gave you permission to take it upon yourself to collect the remains of several of my disciples?

"Do you want to let a few disciples of your sect be in the wilderness?" Zhang Qian was slightly surprised, his hands behind his back, looking quite incomprehensible, but there was no trace of nervousness in his expression, obviously not taking this reprimand seriously.

That Taoist was speechless for a while, and if he was outspoken, he would inevitably seem too ruthless and unrighteous, and he would not be willing to fall behind in his words.

The first Daoist pressed the sword man frowned slightly, raised his hand to interrupt it, and said: "The deceased is the greatest, and the Taishang Daoist's move is also out of kindness, and Senior Brother Xuanming should not say much." After that, with a slight flick of his sleeve, a soft force lifted the lid of the coffin, and the four corpses were exposed in front of everyone's eyes, and the injured place was black, and even the blood turned into a pitch-black color, terrifying, and bursts of dark aura floated from it, making people shudder, everyone frowned, and the man who pressed the sword still looked as usual, took two steps forward, stared at the black hole on the forehead of the person chasing the sun, and actually stretched out his hand to touch it inside, and pulled out a few lumps of flesh and blood.

Then he twisted it carefully at his fingertips, and his divine sense was like a silky analysis, without missing any clues.

"It is indeed the means of people in the devil's way. According to the sword man's brows, his brows gradually relaxed, and the five fingers wrapped around the hilt of the sword also quietly loosened, and the hostility dissipated a lot.

"Isn't it greasy?" scolded Zhang Qian before, and the person was still unwilling to give up.

"Nope. The sword man shook his head, then looked at Zhang Qian, and said: "At this time, there is a sudden emergency, many places are full of suspicions, if I and my junior disciples had a lot of intentions before, and offended the Dao Chief, I also asked Dao Leader Haihan to allow the poor Dao to introduce himself, and the first Xuan Jie Daoist in the Xiaodongtian Discipline Academy in Xiayang Mountain is responsible for investigating the cause of death of the five true disciples of the two factions." After saying that, he pointed to the female crown beside him who looked depressed and seemed to be worried, and said: "This is the person in charge of the trip of the small cave of Emei Mountain, the person of the Scarlet Dao, and the rest of the entourage are all in the same door to assist the poor Dao in investigating this matter, they are Xuan Ming, Xuan Ling, Xuan Jing and the Scarlet Cloud Senior Sister of the small cave of Emei Mountain." ”

"Poor Dao Taishang, I have seen all Taoist friends. Zhang Qian bowed slightly, and turned sideways to invite everyone to sit down, "Everyone sit down and talk first, if there is anything unclear at this time, but it doesn't hurt to ask, and you know everything in the next place." ”

The Xuanjie Taoist nodded, flicked his sleeves slightly, resealed the four coffins, put them in the storage ring, and then sat down on the first chair on the left, his face was cold, and he still didn't say much.

His attitude has gradually eased down, and others will naturally not give an inch, and they are arranged according to their seniority.

After a few sips of tea symbolically, the Xuanjie Taoist said: "I don't know if you can retell what happened at that time?"

"I have reported all the details of this matter to the Dongyue Emperor's Mansion, and the Diqi and Daomen are in the same breath and share weal and woe, these news should have been transferred to the hands of the two factions, right? Zhang Qian naturally will not be at his mercy, this thing is made up, although all the details are done without leakage, but if you say too much, you will lose, and you don't want to say it a second time, especially this Xuanjie Taoist is not good at kissing, he will not follow his temperament, otherwise he will fall into passivity, and he will be passive everywhere. Ming Zedao didn't say much, his expression was the same, he picked up the teacup and blew away the foam on it, without looking at Zhang Qian, others couldn't guess his mood change from this.

"Since you were there at the time, why didn't you stop it?" Seeing that the five True Transmission disciples of my two sects were killed here?"

He didn't put Zhang Qian in his eyes from beginning to end, and the only trace of respect was also to maintain the image of the Daomen faction, otherwise he would directly say what he thought in his heart, how could he be with him and play with his scheming, in his opinion, this Taishang Daoist is just a little-known loose cultivator, even if the extermination of the Minjiang Water Mansion is a meritorious move, it can't make him gain much weight, and it can't be compared with the big Daomen sects such as Yangshan Xiaodongtian. The only trace of scruples is only from the attitude of Emperor Dongyue, and it seems that he has a lot to do with this person, but now the Daomen is powerful, and the nine-day interview envoy came to the world, living in the Sanqing Dao Palace, and the earth is only a vein that is ignored and neglected, and the influence is not as good as before, this scruple is only minimal, as long as this Taishang Daoist is indeed involved in this matter, even if there is a little evidence, he will not care about anything, he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

"When I came here, three of the five disciples of your sect had died, and only two of them were struggling to support, and the three demons of the Water Mansion and the two masters of the Demon Sect joined forces side by side, and I was not an opponent alone, how could I stop it?"

Zhang Qian's eyes were calm, his fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he asked rhetorically.

"Then you watched the disciples of my two factions die unexpectedly, and after the demon left, you will attack the Minjiang Demon Mansion and kill the three demons?"

Xuanming Daoist spits words like thunder and is aggressive.

"That's it. Zhang Qian nodded undeniably.

"You are watching the fire from the other side, so that the disciples of my two sects have consumed the power of the three demons at the cost of their lives, and finally reap the profits, what is the difference between the evil of your intentions and the demon sect?"

Xuanming Daoist's gaze was instantly cold, and he directly picked up the last fig leaf between the two sides, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell into freezing, and everyone held their breath, as if they were waiting for Zhang Qian's answer, but the Xuanming Daoist still looked like he didn't care about himself, sipping tea soup in small sips, and didn't even bother to raise his gaze. When Zhang Qianyan heard this, he only showed a trace of surprise, but he was not angry, nor was he ashamed, he just calmly put down the teacup in his hand and said: "According to your words, I shouldn't kill the three demons? Otherwise, I will watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman?

These words were not shocked, but they were questioned three times in succession, and each question was difficult to answer simply, and the Xuan Ming Daoist who was choked did not vomit or be unhappy.

And no one could hear that there was a hint of murderous intent in his words, and this Taishang Taoist finally tore away his docile and easy-going appearance and revealed the edge in his heart.

"The demon should naturally be killed, but if the Dao Master can make a move earlier, at least the disciples of my two factions will not all die. Xuan Mingdao's face was pale, and he shook his sleeves fiercely.

"If I do it before those two demons leave, and now not only will the two disciples of your sect not be saved, but even the poor Dao will take their lives, I am not related to your sect, why should I be buried with your disciples?"

Zhang Qian said softly, looking like a matter of course, which made the teeth of the two factions itch, but they were helpless.

"People who are greedy for life and afraid of death! The Taoist sect in the world is of the same origin and origin, and if one person is in trouble, everyone has the obligation to help!" Xuan Ming Daoist refuted, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"It's a big joke in the world. Zhang Qian didn't give in, and didn't leave the slightest face, and directly sneered: "If it were you, you would have recklessly disregarded your life and rescued you?"

Xuanming Daoist was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to answer, if he agreed, it would inevitably seem too disobedient, his cheeks were not thick enough to be so thick, and he could say nonsense in an awe-inspiring manner, but from his point of view, Zhang Qian should do what he said, the world's scattered cultivation is just a subordinate and servant in the eyes of the righteous sect, the master is in trouble, and the slave should naturally sacrifice his life to save him, Zhang Qian stood by and watched, it was a mistake, and he should be punished, but for a while he couldn't think of what crime to be named for this kind of behavior, especially this guy took it for granted. deserves to be so woody, angry, his face is pale, he gritted his teeth, and two words burst out of his mouth: "villain!"

Zhang Qian laughed majestically, shook his head silently, didn't bother to argue with him, took a sip of the teacup, and then said: "I am just an idle cloud and wild crane in the world, not a hero and righteous man who saves the common people from danger, and please don't impose the principles of the righteous path on me? It's just a small person, and I only want to be a small person, so it's not an exaggeration to call me a villain, but it makes you adults laugh." ”

"That is the case, why are you meddling in your affairs, slaying demons and eliminating demons to maintain order in the world is the duty of my Daoist sect. Xuanming Daoist frowned and asked, this is unintentional, if this Taishang Daoist retreats, he can justifiably ask to take over the Minjiang Water Mansion, and when he reaps not only a windfall, but also can grasp the overall situation to facilitate the investigation, if the other party is tough, it will contradict what he said before, and he can be accused of having other intentions.

"Why do you meddle in your affairs?" Zhang Qian slightly disagreed, and said as a matter of course: "This Minjiang water god and I are old friends before my death, and I killed the three demons to help him regain his godhood." ”

When several people heard this, their eyes all looked towards the glowing god phantom in the middle of the main hall, and the golden edict was clearly placed in front of them, obviously what the Taishang Daoist said was not false, so it can be said that he occupied the righteousness and reputation, even if he had ulterior motives, now it has turned into a high-sounding reason, no one can doubt his intention to exterminate the Minjiang Demon Mansion, and he can't ask to take over the Water Mansion, even if he Yangshan Xiaodongtian, Emei Xiaodongtian is the leader of the righteous path in Shuzhou, but this Minjiang Shuifu was originally Li Yu's fiefdom, and now it belongs to the original owner, there is no room for involvement, and he is extremely depressed for a while, and he is angry, but he can't attack.

"The Taoist is not a member of my two factions, so naturally he can't ask too much of him, as long as he doesn't have an affair with the demon Dao demon, even if he is at fault, he can't be punished as a crime. ”

When the two sides were at a stalemate, the Xuanjie Daoist, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, breaking the calm, although his tone was calm and gentle, it gave people a shocking feeling.

Although the Xuanming Daoist was arrogant, he only knocked on the side to set Zhang Qian's guilt, and he didn't dare to say that Zhang Qian was involved with the demon sect demon based on speculation.

However, this Xuanjie Taoist was amazing, and he opened his mouth to say that Zhang Qian had an affair with the demon sect, and directly made his suspicions clear, which can be described as extraordinary, and he was not afraid of offending people at all.

"Oh?" Zhang Qian became interested, and his gaze turned slightly to him.

"The Taoist chief said before, if there is something unclear, but it doesn't hurt to ask, there are indeed a few questions in the heart of the poor Dao, I hope to answer, if you can't answer, don't blame the poor Dao for guessing before and punish you with the crime. Xuanjie Taoist untied the sword at his waist and put it on the table, three inches out of the scabbard, and the sword body suddenly revealed two simple and vigorous big characters - cut immortals, and then said: "This sword is made by the Sanqing Dao Palace of Luofu Mountain, a total of nine, divided into the leaders of the Daomen of Kyushu, representing the inviolability of the precepts of the heavenly rules, as long as the person who violates the rules of the Daomen, no matter what sect or faction, can be killed with this sword, not stained with karma, and the relatives of the master can not be investigated." ”

The Xuanjie Daoist had been indulging the Xuanming Daoist to embarrass Zhang Qian, intending to break through the defense line in this person's heart, so that he could expose his flaws and catch the handle.

As a result, this person is firm-minded, bold and arrogant, and it is useless to make a difficult question, but to make his side lose face, lose momentum, and be passive everywhere.

At this time, I had no choice but to take out this sword.

Although his words are not half false, he can say the same thing, but he really wants to do it but it is completely different, what kind of person is Emperor Dongyue? That is, Donghua Daojun, the palace master of Sanqing Palace, also respects his three points, and this Taishang Taoist does not know what kind of relationship he has, anyway, Dongyue Emperor has passed down the edict to defend this person everywhere, which is obviously extraordinary, and it is not good to do things too much. Although this sword has the right to kill people, the premise is that the person who is killed must be guilty and must not be killed for personal gain, otherwise he will also become a soul under the sword in the future. At this time, Zhang Qian had not yet been convicted, so he sacrificed this sword first, which naturally violated the principle, and he was also a little weak-hearted.

"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Qian was not a dull person, so he could naturally hear what he said, and there was a little more coldness in his eyes.

Although this sword is very big, it is just a high-level spiritual treasure, only a little stronger than the Chixia sword bag, but it is only given some rights, Zhang Qian secretly thought in his heart, if he really tears his face, life and death, although he is outnumbered, he is not without a chance of winning, Linglong** The tower is an ancient spiritual treasure, which can easily suppress this Xuanjie Daoist, and his strength is now greatly improved, and he can also defeat the remaining six people, but once he starts, the situation he has worked hard to create will be broken, and the identity of the Taishang Daoist will be completely useless, and it will implicate the Wangxia Fairy, and at that time, he can only retreat to Xiaowei Mountain, and the good prospects will be ruined, and the disasters will be endless.

Therefore, as long as the Xuanjie Daoist does not make a move, he will not be the first to break this balance, so his attitude is still so careless, and he does not take what he says as a thing.

"The Immortal Sword only kills demons and disobedient disciples who violate the precepts of the Dao Sect, as long as the Dao Master is not involved in the demon sect, this sword will definitely not be easily unsheathed. Xuanjie Daoist said, although the attitude was tough, he was willing to explain that he had made obvious concessions in his attitude, and Zhang Qian had no intention of doing these meaningless entanglements with him, nodded and said: "Since you have doubts about me, ask whatever you want to ask." ”

"Well, although this move is abrupt, it is also to avoid misunderstanding, and I hope you will forgive me. With a slight stroke of his two fingers, the Xuanjie Daoist temporarily put the immortal sword into the sheath, and then said: " Before I set off with all the junior brothers, I had read the resume of the Taoist chief, which recorded that the Taoist master, your cultivation realm is only the late stage of the realm of the hundred bones of the unobstructed realm, and the Minjiang Demon Mansion is entrenched in several major monsters, each of which is extraordinary, and the three demons are all the cultivation of the late stage of the hundred skeletons, especially the thousand-year-old tortoise, it is said that it has entered the realm of Qi Xing Zhoutian, and this demon has the blood of the ancient dragon, is talented, and the strength is incomparable, my senior brother Xuanming has fought with it, and has not gained the upper hand, not to mention that this Minjiang Demon Mansion is also supported by a large array, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to invade, and the demons are entrenched in it, and with the help of the power of the water eye dragon vein, my two major sent people to exterminate several times, all in vain, how did the Taoist do it alone?"

Zhang Qian naturally can't tell the world all the hole cards, so even if he gets rid of the existing charges, he will end up guilty, and he is questioned like this, but he is not a trace of panic and calm.

"I wonder when was the last update record of my resume that the Xuanjie Dao Master saw?" Zhang Qian asked a question that seemed inconsequential.

Although Sanxiu is an idle cloud and a wild crane, he belongs to the people of the Daomen after all, and the identity information must be recorded in the Sanqing Palace, similar to the household registration of the mortal world.

The Xuanjie Daoist's understanding of this Taishang Daoist also comes from this, and he also found an obvious flaw in it...... But Zhang Qian didn't care about this, his identity information was forged by Fairy Wangxia, even if he released 'wild words' for him to use casually, it would not be easy for people to see through, and these things were originally false fabrications, and what could he find out from them the truth that made him embarrassed?
