Lu Tianji said cautiously, "My Lord, we really didn't know about the divine dragon remains, I hope you can investigate this."
Bai Hua Fairy lost her usual liveliness and said cautiously, "My Lord, we were harvesting resources in the periphery according to the rules, we wouldn't dare touch the divine dragon remains in the dragon cave."
Li Yue, on the other hand, looked solemn and said seriously, "We were slandered."
The three insisted that Tuoba Lun was slandering them.
Tuoba Lun crossed his arms and sneered coldly, "No? Then where did my divine dragon remains come from? "
Li Yue said seriously, "I picked them up on the road."
"Try picking one up!" Tuoba Lun laughed angrily, "Stubborn! Lord Hong, don't waste your breath on them, just check Su Yu's sword-shaped storage ring and you'll know if I'm telling the truth! "
Hong Lei's eyes flashed, his gaze fixed on Su Yu, "You won't give up until all hope is gone? To be honest, I've met too many people like you in this secret chamber, unwilling to give up until the very last moment. "
He took Su Yu's storage ring and said coldly, "I gave you a chance to repent, but you didn't cherish it. If that's the case, don't blame me for being impartial."
His original intention was to threaten and blackmail them. If they were as sensible as Tuoba Lun and took the initiative to show respect, he could turn a big problem into a small one.
However, Lu Tianji and the others couldn't say anything and couldn't admit to excavating the dragon cave.
If that was the case, he could only go by the book.
Hong Lei secretly regretted that he couldn't keep the precious dragon marrow, so he could only report it.
With a hint of regret, he looked at Su Yu and the others with an even more unfriendly gaze.
Opening the sword-shaped storage ring, Hong Lei's soul swept inside, and his expression froze.
Tuoba Lun laughed, "My Lord, are you surprised by their courage? Excavating the dragon bones without permission, and still resisting, refusing to admit it? Humph, I suggest that we punish them severely, not only them, but also their families, so that they can be subdued in the Sword Pavilion … "
However, Hong Lei retrieved his soul without saying a word, and flicked his fingers, three mysterious scents fell on Lu Tianji, Bai Hua Fairy, and Li Yue.
The three scents circled around their bodies and returned to Hong Lei's fingertips.
"Where are your storage artifacts?" Hong Lei's expression was strangely calm.
Lu Tian Ji and the other two turned to look at Tuoba Lun, their intentions clear.
Tuoba Lun sneered, "I merely used a small trick to snatch their storage rings. All the resources inside have already been handed over to Jian Xuan."
Hong Lei faintly nodded and said, "So, this is the only storage device?"
Tuoba Lun said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. He moved forty percent of the divine dragon remains into this storage space. Is there a problem?"
Hong Lei shook his head. "The problem is that there isn't."
Hearing this, the hearts of Lu Tianji and the other two sank to the bottom. They could not hide it in the end.
Lu Tianji laughed at himself. Jian Xuan had always been strict with the inspection of storage devices, could it be that he would overlook something as important as the Dragon God's remains?
It was ridiculous for him to have such a self-deceiving idea.
Bai Hua Fairy also silently sighed. Everything is over, it's better to just die in the void.
"But …" At this moment, Hong Lei frowned and added, "Why aren't there any divine dragon remains?"
He opened the storage ring and poured out everything inside.
There was only a light, fluttering grass that emitted starlight that fell to the ground.
Yes, everything added up to a single Starlight Grass!
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, especially Lu Tianji and the others.
They had seen Su Yu put the giant divine dragon remains and the petrified dragon bones into a sword-shaped storage device with their own eyes.
Could it be another empty storage ring?
Could the storage ring that really contained the divine dragon remains be another one?
No, the aura that Hong Lei released just now was specifically used to sense sword-shaped storage devices. If Su Yu still had a storage device on him, he would have sensed it.
Tuoba Lun stared blankly at the familiar scene and said in disbelief, "Su, what kind of trick are you playing? Where is the thing? Did you not bring it out? "
Lu Tianji and the others suddenly understood. If Su Yu had hidden it in the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons and did not bring it out, it would make sense.
"Enough!" Hong Lei frowned and stared coldly at Tuoba Lun. He then looked at Su Yu and the others, his eyes even colder.
Intuition told him that what Tuoba Lun said was most likely true.
However, the other party must have used some kind of trick to hide the divine dragon remains.
Holding the empty sword-shaped storage device, Hong Lei felt a sense of anger at being fooled.
He stood up, his eyes emitting a threatening light as he said in a menacing tone, "The four of you, as you are too suspicious, I think I will have to use the soul-searching technique!"
Lu Tianji's eyes were wide open, filled with panic!
Bai Hua Fairy's and Li Yue's expressions were also filled with unease.
No one liked to have their souls searched.
Firstly, if the soul searcher did not have a very high level of attainment in the path of the soul, it was very easy to cause damage to the soul of the person being searched.
Secondly, Soul Searching meant that all the secrets he was hiding would be discovered without any loopholes.
And everyone had secrets that they were not willing to reveal to the outside world.
This was the most frightening aspect of soul searching.
"Don't worry, I have searched the souls of no less than ten thousand people, and I have never harmed a single soul." Hong Lei strode forward, his powerful aura suppressing the three of them to the point where they could not resist. "However, anyone who needs to search their soul to prove their innocence will not have a good ending!"
Accompanied by the crushing pressure of the powerful aura, the cold words pierced through their hearts like sharp arrows.
The soul searching had begun!
"I'll start with you!" Hong Lei stared at Su Yu and said coldly, "I don't know why, but when I first saw you, I felt a sense of disgust. Let me see what you are hiding under your sneaky true face!"
A powerful soul energy instantly shot into the space between Su Yu's brows.
This was the first step of soul searching. Using the powerful soul energy to forcefully enter another person's soul and investigate wantonly.
This process was very painful, as if the body was being torn apart.
However, the one who screamed was not Su Yu, but … Hong Lei!
"Ah! My soul! You have devoured my visitation soul? " Hong Lei's face was pale, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of pain.
He stared at Su Yu in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
Indeed, the part of his soul that he had probed had been devoured by Su Yu!
Su Yu calmly said, "Reckless."
When the Heaven's Son Gazing At Air technique was cultivated to the Soul Devouring Realm, he could devour the souls of others and use them for himself.
It was already good enough that he did not actively devour other people's souls, but Hong Lei had sent his own soul in, which was no different from seeking death.
"Who are you?" Hong Lei angrily shouted. "You are definitely not a member of an ordinary island faction. Tell me, who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the Sword Pavilion! "
Su Yu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, calmly smiling. "Special Envoy Hong, have you forgotten about me so quickly?"
A strong wind blew past, blowing away his black robe, revealing Su Yu's true appearance.
"Ah! It's you! Xue … Master Xue! "Hong Lei was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue off.
If there was anyone he did not want to meet in his life, it would be Su Yu.
Firstly, Su Yu's identity was terrifying, as he was an appraiser personally recruited by the Starry Pavilion's Master.
Secondly, Hong Lei had concealed what he had seen on the Twin Star Island, not wanting the Sword Pavilion to know what had happened there.
Hong Lei was still in shock when he heard Su Yu say, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and your status has improved a lot. You've been put in an important position by the Sword Pavilion's Young Master. Not bad, not bad."
It would have been better if Su Yu had not said this, but as soon as he said it, Hong Lei immediately put on a pleading look and transmitted his voice. "Master Xue, I … I didn't expect it to be you. It's all my fault for offending you. Can you forgive me this time? If the Sword Pavilion knows that I've caused great trouble on the Twin Star Island, they'll definitely kill me. "
Su Yu transmitted his voice leisurely, "I can forgive you, but how should I deal with this matter?"
Hong Lei was overjoyed. He stared at Tuoba Lun, who was at a loss, and his eyes turned cold. He transmitted his voice again. "Don't worry, Master Xue, I'll give you a satisfactory answer!"
Hong Lei hated Tuoba Lun to the core, and he could not hide from Su Yu at all times. However, Tuoba Lun had dragged Xue Yu to him and almost searched his soul!
If the Starry Pavilion knew about this, just the thought of it sent chills down Hong Lei's spine.
After ending the transmission, Hong Lei regained his composure. He said, "So it's Master Xue Yu, sorry for the offense."
Master Xue?
Lu Tianji and Bai Hua Fairy looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
They had never heard of any famous Master Xue in the islands of the Sword Pavilion.
Strangely, Hong Lei was still so polite!
Li Yue's eyes trembled, and she stared at Su Yu without blinking. She felt like she was in a dream, and she stood there blankly.
After a long time, a sense of relief, relief, and peace of mind filled the depths of her eyes. She murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "No wonder he looked so familiar, so it was him."
Tuoba Lun was equally shocked.
The expert swordsman he had met by chance, the mysterious strong man who made him feel threatened, was actually Xue Yu, whom he had disdained?
Impossible! He couldn't accept this reality.
"Lord Hong, please believe me. Search his soul immediately, and you will definitely find the location of the divine dragon's remains!" Tuoba Lun shouted.
The veins on Hong Lei's forehead bulged. How dare he touch a treasure appraiser from the Star Pavilion? How many brains did he have to touch a treasure appraiser from the Star Pavilion?
If he angered the Starry Pavilion, even the Sword Pavilion would be wiped out.
"Tuoba Lun!" Hong Lei shouted loudly, and said righteously, "Master Xue is a man of status, why would he lie? Now, I suspect that you're trying to frame him! "
What? Tuoba Lun couldn't adapt to the sudden turn of events. He said, "Lord Hong, what do you mean? You took so many resources from me, and so much dragon marrow … "
Hong Lei's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Shut up!"
The powerful aura sent Tuoba Lun flying.
Coincidentally, the direction Tuoba Lun was flying towards was where Su Yu was.
Tuoba Lun felt Hong Lei's murderous intent, but he was not afraid. Instead, he was enraged.
Why was it that every time he met Su Yu, he became a stepping stone?
On the Murong Island, when he was supposed to lead Murong Qingcheng away, Su Yu intervened and made him return empty-handed!
In front of the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons, Murong Qingcheng had a change of heart, which made him lose face!
With the divine dragon's remains, he plotted against Lu Tianji and the Hundred Flower Fairy, but was tricked by Su Yu instead!
Until today, even a big shot like Hong Lei was supporting Su Yu!
As the saying goes, anger comes from the heart, and evil comes from the guts.
