When the three of them arrived at the main hall, it was already filled with people, the Nascent Soul elders of each peak were all present. Lonemoon glanced around, Shu Yi and Two Bucks Zuo were actually inside now, standing in the middle of the main hall, something seemed to have happened, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Two Bucks Zuo, who had always been good-tempered, had a rare look of anger.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master." Seeing the few of them enter, everyone bowed. On the left, an unfamiliar Nascent Soul Perfected One did not even move, instead, he snorted coldly and turned his head, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and anger.
Yi Qing also felt that the atmosphere was not right, but did not care much, walking straight to the only empty seat at the top. Habitually, he turned his body to let Shen Ying who was behind him sit down, he stood on the right, even Lonemoon followed suit and stood on the left.
Perhaps because of the urgency of the situation, no one paid attention to these details. Instead, Tian Yi, who was at the side, turned to look at Lonemoon and suddenly said, "Brother Lonemoon, don't worry, I absolutely believe in your character!"
"…" Lonemoon was stunned, what did he mean?
So he called them here not only because there was a new clue, it seemed like they were also involved?
"Uncle-Master Yi Qing." Sect Master Yu Luan then stood up and said, "We invited Uncle-Master here because we have something to confirm with you. That day when Uncle-Master went to Yuan Yang City to eliminate the fiend, when you chased after the fiendish cultivator Zhong Yi, did you notice anything wrong with the other party? "
Yi Qing turned to look at him, frowned and said, "What is wrong?"
"That is …" A hint of hesitation flashed across Yu Luan's face, as if he did not know how to answer, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle-Master, are you sure that the fiendish cultivator is really … dead?"
"Of course!" Yi Qing frowned even deeper, still answering in a low voice, "That fiendish cultivator's corpse was handled by Elder Shu Yuan." With that said, he looked towards Shu Yuan who was sitting on the right.
"That's right!" Shu Yuan also stood up, nodded and answered, "I can prove this, after Uncle-Master Yi Qing dealt with that fiendish cultivator, he informed me to rush over that night, that fiendish cultivator is indeed dead, the corpse was even handled by me using the Lie Fire Spell, to prevent other fiendish cultivators from using the Nascent Soul corpse to do evil."
"Hmph! Who knows if the one who died was Zhong Yi? "The Nascent Soul cultivator on the left suddenly interrupted with a hint of disdain.
Before they could speak, Two Bucks Zuo, who was at the side, became anxious. As if he had been holding it in for a long time, he cupped his fists and said, "Perfected Jing Yuan, that person is indeed Zhong Yi. Not only me, but Senior Sister Shu also saw it!"
Shu Yi was stunned for a moment, and he quickly said with a face full of panic, "I … I don't know either. That day, after we accidentally met that Fiendish Cultivator, the Supremacy told us to hurry back to the city. I didn't think too much about it and went back. I don't know what happened after that."
"Senior Sister Shu!" Zuo Shuming looked at her in disbelief, the anger on his face growing. "If Supremacy had not sensed that fiendish cultivator and rushed over in time that day, the two of us would have died in his hands. I saw with my own eyes that the Devil Cultivator was indeed dead. How could it be fake? "
"But I really didn't see it!" Shu Yi whispered anxiously. "You saw it, not me! You're a disciple of Nameless Mountain, of course you're on their side. Who knows what happened after I left? "
"You …" Zuo Shuming was even angrier. He said directly, "Senior Sister, don't forget, you were the one who discovered that fiendish cultivator first! According to what you said, could it be that you have some connection with that fiendish cultivator too? "
"I … I didn't!" Shu Yi looked innocent, looking as if she was about to cry.
Lonemoon's eyes darkened. He turned to look at Yu Luan. "Sect Master, I wonder what exactly happened? Why does it involve that fiendish cultivator again? "
Yu Luan sighed, then took out a piece of broken jade stone and said in a low voice, "It's like this, we found this when we were searching Dan Chen Mountain."
Lonemoon took a closer look. "Image Recording Stone?"
"That's right!" Yu Luan nodded. "In front of Dan Chen Mountain's Disciple Hall, there was originally a large piece of Image Recording Stone, used to record images of disciples' daily cultivation. This is a fragment of that Image Recording Stone, inside it recorded an image of Dan Chen Mountain before it was blown up. "
With that said, he transferred a bit of Spirit Qi in. In the next second, a white light flashed out and slowly condensed into an image. Although it was only a corner of the image, one could faintly tell that it was the scene in front of Dan Chen Mountain's Disciple Hall. Only that there was no one on it now. In a short while, a black shadow suddenly appeared on it and disappeared in a flash. But one could tell that the other party was filled with evil Qi, one look and one could tell that he was a fiendish cultivator, and that face …
"Zhong Yi!" Lonemoon was shocked. This person looked exactly the same as the person who was possessed by the Earth Demon outside Yuan Yang City previously.
"Behind the Disciple Hall is Junior Brother Yin's cave abode. He was in seclusion then, so he did not go to watch the competition." Yu Luan explained, then kept the Image Recording Stone in his hand.
"What Sect Master means is that you suspect that the fiendish cultivator Zhong Yi did not die, and the incident at Dan Chen Mountain was also done by him?" No wonder they asked about that fiendish cultivator the moment they arrived.
Before Yu Luan could reply, the Nascent Soul Perfected One in the hall who was arguing earlier spoke first. "That day when Zhong Yi was killed, only the four of you were present, who knows if the one who died was that fiendish cultivator?"
"This Perfected One is …" Lonemoon frowned.
"This is Perfected Jing Yuan." Yu Luan explained. "He and the fallen Junior Brother Yin had always been the closest."
Lonemoon nodded before replying. "That fiendish cultivator's corpse, we and Perfected One Shu Yuan have examined it, it is indeed that fiendish cultivator!"
Yet Jing Yuan was still unconcerned and continued to say meaningfully, "There are so many transfiguration techniques in the world, who knows if that corpse is real or fake. What's more, our sect's Protective Mountain Array is also set up by Supremacy. "
"You're spouting nonsense!" Zuo Shuming panicked, he seemed to be very angry.
"How am I spouting nonsense." Yet that Jing Yuan turned to look at Yi Qing and said, "Supremacy Yi Qing, this matter concerns the death of two Nascent Soul Elders, please explain it clearly to us. How did that Zhong Yi die that day? And that fire seed of the Frost Dark Fire on the fiendish cultivator, where is it now? "
Lonemoon's eyes narrowed, Dark Fire? He subconsciously turned to look at the obedient and innocent Shu Yi at the side, it seemed like before they came, she had done a lot of things.
"The Dark Fire has already been extinguished." Yi Qing answered.
"Extinguished!" Everyone was shocked.
"Mm." Yi Qing nodded. "That fire can burn souls, it doesn't belong to the mortal realm in the first place, it shouldn't be left!" To be precise, if not for that Earth Demon, that fire wouldn't have appeared here at all.
"Burn souls!" Everyone gasped, they didn't expect there to be such an Deviant Fire in the world.
Instead Shu Yi's expression changed, she couldn't help but say, "That's an Deviant Fire, Supremacy can really bear to extinguish it?"
"Senior Sister Shu's words are really laughable." Lonemoon laughed coldly, he finally saw what this Shu Yi was planning, she wanted to sow discord, make them become the fiendish cultivator's accomplices, and then reap the benefits at the same time. "From what you mean, you suspect that we have some kind of deal with that fiendish cultivator, not only did we hide that Deviant Fire, we even helped that fiendish cultivator fake his death, let him enter Gui Yi Sect to hurt people?" This accusation … was really laughable.
