In just a flash, Yang Cheng had already appeared in a man-made forest garden to the south of the courtyard in the western suburbs.
Surrounded by cypress trees, there was a pond. In the middle of the circular pointed red pavilion, a man and a woman were already standing there.
From the way these two were dressed, it was obvious that they were not roaming in the secular world.
The man was wearing a grey checkered robe and his hair was tied up in a bun. On his back was a three feet long mountain wrapped in black cloth, giving him an elegant and handsome feeling.
The woman was wearing a green robe and had long hair. Her appearance was passable, but the arrogance and indifference on her face made people feel uncomfortable.
The man was at the late stage of Soul Formation and the woman was at the middle and late stage of Soul Formation, which was about the same. The cold and arrogant divine sense just now was naturally emitted by the woman.
When Yang Cheng was sizing up the two, the man and the woman were also sizing up Yang Cheng. When they discovered that they could not see through Yang Cheng's cultivation, they revealed a look of surprise.
Yang Cheng's gaze lingered on the waists of the two and he was surprised to see that there was a token with the word "Huang" hanging on their waists. It was exactly the same as the token with the word "Huang" on the sloppy Taoist that he had encountered before.
It seemed that these two were Hongmeng Huang Rank figures. Previously, the black robed Hongmeng messenger suddenly died, so it was reasonable for Hongmeng to send people to check. However, looking at the two, they did not seem to be friendly.
"You are Yang Cheng?" The woman spoke first and asked coldly.
Yang Cheng secretly thought that these two's cultivation was obviously not as good as his, and even far from it, but they still looked so arrogant. It seemed that they did not put him in their eyes because they had the entire Hongmeng behind them.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng was a bit angry. It was fine if people who were stronger than him were so disdainful, but these two people who relied on their master's power dared to be so arrogant. He must not let them have it easy.
"Since you've found this place, do you still need confirmation?" Yang Cheng said with a faint smile.
"Answer my question honestly. We don't have time to waste with you." The woman frowned. "Let me ask you, was Tianyin Monk killed by Yan Buwen?"
Yang Cheng found it funny and said, "Out of nowhere, I still don't know who you are. Who is Monk Tian Yin?"
"Don't play dumb. We are the special envoys from Hongmeng to thoroughly investigate Yan Buwen's case. I'm Lu Huating, and this is my senior brother, Hao Changfeng. The two of us represent Hongmeng to interrogate you.
The monk we're talking about is naturally the monk in the black kasaya. Tian Yin was the current Hongmeng emissary. He was murdered in Yanjing within a few months of his departure, and his soul tablet was broken. This incident has alarmed the elders of Hongmeng. You'd better tell us everything that happened at that time to avoid trouble, "Lu Huating snorted coldly.
Soul tablet? So there was such a thing. No wonder he knew immediately after a person died.
"You should ask General Cai of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade about this. Isn't his words more convincing?" Yang Cheng said.
"Cai Yuncheng said that you killed Yan Buwen with an absolute advantage and used the power of thunder to kill Yan Buwen. Is that true!?" Lu Huating asked suspiciously.
Yang Cheng didn't deny it and nodded. "Of course, General Cai wouldn't lie to you for no reason."
"The power of thunder, hmph, the power of thunder is one of the most powerful divine powers in the world. If you can really control the power of thunder, why didn't you kill Yan Buwen first? Instead, you waited for our Hongmeng emissary to die before you made your move!?" Lu Huating's eyes flickered.
Yang Cheng smiled. "That's my fault? Then why don't you ask that idiot monk why he went to die when he obviously couldn't win? "
"You! What did you say!? Idiot!? "Lu Huating was furious.
Hao Changfeng gestured for his junior sister to calm down and asked, "Alright, even if Tianyin Monk miscalculated and was killed by Yan Buwen, why are his Demon Slayer Wand and other treasures nowhere to be found?"
"Didn't Cai Yuncheng tell you that they were all destroyed by Yan Buwen's antimatter energy?"
"That's what he said, but he's just a mortal. Naturally, he couldn't see through the tricks of some cultivators. As far as we know, you inherited the divinity of the previous Pluto and possess the power of the Law of Space. If you wanted to hide those treasures in a parallel space, they wouldn't be able to find out. "
"You suspect me of stealing the treasures?"
Yang Cheng cursed in his heart. I do want those treasures, the more the better. But the problem is that they were really destroyed by that dog Yan Buwen!
Not only that, he used the Qianyuan Tiangang Bracelet in an emergency, but it was also blasted into pieces!
"To tell you the truth, only the Kasaya, the shield, and the Demon Slayer Wand belonged to Tianyin Monk. The other two were lent to him before he was appointed as the envoy of Hongmeng. If you keep them for yourself, it's the same as stealing from Hongmeng!"
Yang Cheng thought that this group of cultivators did not seem to be 'rich'. Why did they have to borrow the treasures to keep up appearances?
Hsiao Chih-ching once said that the hidden families were the real nouveau riche. It seemed that it was true.
"Destroyed is destroyed. If you want me to think that I stole them, there's nothing I can say." Yang Cheng shrugged.
Lu Huating's expression darkened, "Don't think that you're so great just because your cultivation is higher than the two of us. The elders of Hongmeng are as many as the clouds. If you don't answer us clearly and deliberately caused the death of our Hongmeng envoy, even if you're a member of the Yang Family, no one will be able to protect you!"
"What a joke. You people from Hongmeng are not as skilled as others, yet you still blame me, the person who avenged him, after he died. You don't have the ability to protect Hua Xia's foundation, so don't talk nonsense. Not only are you saying things after the fact, but you're also shamelessly framing your benefactor." Yang Cheng sneered.
"Arrogant to the extreme! Don't think that we don't dare to touch you! "Lu Huating said sinisterly.
"That depends on whether you have the ability or not."
"A wild cultivator dares to be enemies with us, Hongmeng. I think you're used to running amok in this filthy world and don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Hao Changfeng saw that his junior sister had the intention to make a move, so he calmly pressed on Lu Huating's shoulder, "Junior sister, this person's cultivation is higher than ours. Although he's suspicious, it's better to report to Master first and let him make the decision."
Lu Huating's brows flashed coldly, "Senior brother is right. Let's keep him for a few days. With Master's methods, he won't dare to speak carelessly. The truth will come to light sooner or later!"
After saying that, the two of them took a deep look at Yang Cheng and planned to leave.
However, Yang Cheng's eyes were filled with coldness as he blocked their path in a flash.
"Leaving so soon? I still want to keep the two envoys from Hongmeng for a cup of tea. "Yang Cheng smiled innocently.
"No need. If you want to drink tea, you have to be the head of the Yang Family. It's not your turn yet," Lu Huating said disdainfully.
Yang Cheng said awkwardly, "But I don't want the two of you to leave just like that. What should I do?"
Hao Changfeng was a little vigilant, "Don't tell me you want to fight with us? Openly going against Hongmeng!? "
"Hey, what are you talking about? I wouldn't dare!" Yang Cheng hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just worried that if you guys go back and invite a very powerful expert, that expert will insist that I killed the monk on purpose. What should I do then?"
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this. My master is clear and upright. He has never falsely accused a good person. If you don't have a guilty conscience, then stay in Zhonghai obediently. When my master comes, he will naturally know whether you're secretly playing tricks or not," Lu Huating said proudly.
Yang Cheng nodded and suddenly thought of something, "Both of you, does everyone in Hongmeng have a soul tablet?"
"Why are you asking this?" Hao Changfeng frowned.
Yang Cheng had a friendly look on his face, "Don't be nervous, I'm just curious because I met an extremely sloppy looking Daoist before. I asked him if he wasn't afraid of being caught by the people of Hongmeng. He said that you guys wouldn't be able to find him. Oh right, that Daoist also knows what kind of Blood Dragon Golden Blade … "
"What!?" Lu Huating exclaimed, "Blood Dragon Golden Blade!? How did you meet that traitor Daoist Huangyun!? "
"Traitor?" Yang Cheng was confused, "You guys know him? Why do you say he's a traitor? I think he's quite kind and even chatted with him for a while. "
Yang Cheng only felt that his acting skills had reached perfection. He could even say such nonsense so smoothly. There was no reason in the world that the Oscar Best Actor Award would not be given to him!
Lu Huating and Hao Changfeng looked at each other in disbelief, as if they had heard something strange.
