Zhao Hai didn't take this matter to heart. He was very clear about what he was doing. Before he dealt with Tong Zheng, he already thought about the consequences. After all, he wasn't dealing with an ordinary person, but an inner disciple of the Poison Dragon Sect.
In any sect, the inner disciples were a very important resource. It could be said that the future of a sect depended on these inner disciples. If the outer disciples were the foundation, then the inner disciples were the pillars. They supported the entire sect and determined the future development of the sect.
Moreover, Tong Zheng was one of the top ten inner disciples. Such a person's position in the Poison Dragon Sect was very high. Now that Zhao Hai killed Tong Zheng, it would be a huge loss to the Poison Dragon Sect.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. Therefore, after he handed in the task, he returned to his courtyard. Iron Snake greeted Zhao Hai and gave him a salute.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Iron Snake, I'll be going into seclusion for a while. You should pay attention to the cleaning of the room and prepare three meals a day for me. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Iron Snake nodded. Then Zhao Hai returned to his room. After sitting for a while, Zhao Hai went to the quiet room. This was a special place for cultivation. After Zhao Hai arrived, he first practiced the Iron Buddha Lotus Body, followed by the Snake Fist, the Nine Characters Hand Seal, the Mountain Condensing Technique, and the Mountain Covering Palm. Finally, he came out of the quiet room and went to the alchemy room.
After arriving at the alchemy room, Zhao Hai stayed inside until the sky turned dark. Then he returned to his room and continued to cultivate his spiritual force.
Zhao Hai wasn't worried about being discovered while he was cultivating in the courtyard. He was very clear that there was a defensive formation in the courtyard. Now that he was going into seclusion, the defensive formation was activated. If anyone wanted to know what he was cultivating in the quiet room, they would immediately be blocked by the formation. Therefore, he wasn't worried about being discovered.
While Zhao Hai was cultivating in peace, Tong Zheng's matter quickly spread throughout the sect. At this time, the sect had already begun to organize an investigation into Tong Zheng's death.
Tong Zheng was one of the top ten inner disciples. His death caused a lot of suspicions in the Poison Dragon Sect. The first thought that came to the Poison Dragon Sect was that someone from another sect had made a move against them. Therefore, they immediately sent people to investigate and see what Tong Zheng had been up to recently.
However, after investigating, they couldn't find anything. The most suspicious thing was that Tong Zheng's little brother had died. He might have been killed by an outer disciple. And when Tong Zheng was investigating that outer disciple, he was killed.
Naturally, the Poison Dragon Sect's people turned their attention to Zhao Hai. They began to investigate and see what happened to Zhao Hai. They wanted to know who he was following to enter the Poison Dragon Sect.
Then they investigated Wu Kai. However, they could only investigate Wu Kai. From Wu Kai, they knew that Zhao Hai had followed a person called Shi Yan to join the Poison Tree Sect. However, during the Great Competition, Shi Yan was killed by a Rogue Cultivator. Then Zhao Hai killed the other Rogue Cultivator to avenge Shi Yan.
Then they investigated Shi Yan and discovered that he was just an ordinary Rogue Cultivator. There was nothing to investigate. Since they couldn't find Shi Yan, they naturally couldn't find Zhao Hai. In the end, their clues ended here.
However, the Poison Dragon Sect didn't suspect Zhao Hai just because of this. After all, there were too many Rogue Cultivators in the Sword Spirit Domain. There were even more Rogue Cultivators like Zhao Hai who didn't have any background. In this case, it was normal for them to not be able to find out Zhao Hai's identity.
Since they couldn't find out Zhao Hai's identity, the Poison Dragon Sect's people returned to the sect. Then they investigated Zhao Hai's actions in the sect. During this time, they even brought Iron Snake over and interrogated him several times. The result of the interrogation was that Zhao Hai was a very low-key person who wholeheartedly focused on cultivation. In the three months since he joined the sect, he rarely went out and was always in seclusion in his courtyard. At the same time, he would also try to concoct poisons. This made the people in the sect curious about Zhao Hai. They wanted to know if Zhao Hai was really cultivating in the sect. At the same time, they wanted to know if Zhao Hai killed the Tong brothers.
If Zhao Hai really killed the Tong brothers, then how did Zhao Hai kill them? This was what the Poison Dragon Sect wanted to find out.
Because of this, on the tenth day of Zhao Hai's seclusion, several people suddenly appeared in his courtyard. At this time, Zhao Hai was cultivating in his room. When he sensed that someone was outside, he immediately came out of his room. Standing in his courtyard were several black-clothed people. They were wearing masks on their faces. However, their masks were different from the other people's masks. These masks were white and had the word 'Punishment' written on them.
Upon seeing these people's masks, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but shrink. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Senior Brothers of the Punishment Hall, may I ask why you've come here?"
The leader of the masked group looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, we're here to invite you to the Punishment Hall for an investigation regarding the deaths of the Tong brothers."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright." After he said that, he directly walked towards the group. This caused them to be surprised. However, they didn't say anything and only nodded. Then they led Zhao Hai outside.
The Punishment Hall was a place where all the Cultivators of the Poison Dragon Sect would have a change in expression. This was because all the Cultivators of the Poison Dragon Sect knew that if they were found by the Punishment Hall, then they wouldn't have a good ending. There were almost no people who could walk out of the Punishment Hall unscathed. Because of this, all the Cultivators of the Poison Dragon Sect would have a change in expression.
The Punishment Hall of the Poison Dragon Sect was also the most deserted place in the sect. This was because no one would go near it. It was as if they would have bad luck if they were to go near it.
Actually, there wasn't anything special about the Punishment Hall from the outside. It was just an ordinary courtyard. There was a sign hanging above the courtyard with the words' Punishment Hall 'written on it. Other than that, there wasn't anything special about it.
After entering the courtyard, Zhao Hai didn't find anything special about it. The courtyard wasn't very big. There was a large tree inside as well as several rooms. There were also some Cultivators wearing white masks going in and out of the rooms as if they were busy with something.
Zhao Hai was brought to a room by the Punishment Hall. The room wasn't very big and didn't have a gloomy feeling. However, there was a metal chair in the room. This metal chair had several iron rings that were directly connected to the chair.
In front of the chair was a table with four chairs behind it. The distance between the two sides was about five meters. Clearly, this was a place for interrogating prisoners.
After the Punishment Hall brought Zhao Hai into the room, one of them pointed at the metal chair and said, "Sit there."
Zhao Hai knit his brows and said, "Didn't you say that I'm just being investigated? Why do I have to sit on that chair? Are you going to lock me up? "
Perhaps because of Zhao Hai's previous performance, one of the Punishment Hall's people said, "Right, we're going to lock you up. We're afraid that you'll resist. There are a lot of people who run to the Punishment Hall and still want to resist. Because of this, the Punishment Hall made a rule that those who enter the Punishment Hall, regardless of whether they're guilty or not, must be locked up for questioning."
Zhao Hai nodded and didn't say anything. He walked over and placed his hands on the armrest of the chair. Then he heard a 'kacha' sound as his hands and feet were locked to the chair. At the same time, he felt his spiritual qi and spiritual force being imprisoned by some kind of force.
However, Zhao Hai didn't think about resisting. He was a Body Cultivator. Zhao Hai had already seen through the material of the chair. Although it was good, it couldn't trap him. Moreover, he didn't think that the other party would deal with him.
The Punishment Hall's people sat across from Zhao Hai. They coldly looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at them calmly, he didn't seem to be afraid.
After some time, a person from the Torture Hall opened his mouth and said, "Tian Hai, I called you here today to investigate whether Tong Zheng's death was related to you. Do you know Tong Zheng?" Tian Hai nodded and said, "Tian Hai, I called you here today to investigate whether Tong Zheng's death was related to you.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know him. Ten days ago, he went to the Poisonous Fog Forest to look for me and asked me about Tong Zheng."
The person from the Punishment Hall then asked, "What did you say?"
Zhao Hai replied, "I told him the truth. I told him that Tong Zheng was killed by me. Because Tong Zheng brought a few people to rob me. Not only did they want to rob me, they also wanted to kill me. Therefore, I killed Tong Zheng."
When the person from the Punishment Hall heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression turned heavy as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "And then?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Then he wanted to kill me. But before he could find me, I had already made some arrangements. In fact, I was waiting for him there. At that time, he was already poisoned by me. In the end, he couldn't kill me. Instead, he was killed by me."
"So, you really killed Tong Zheng?" The person from the Punishment Hall didn't think that Zhao Hai would actually admit to it. This made him very surprised.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, I killed him. What about it? I don't think I violated any rules, right? The place where we fought was outside the sect, inside the Poisonous Fog Forest. This didn't violate the sect's rule of not fighting inside the sect, right? He wanted to kill me, so I killed him. This is very normal. "
When the person from the Torture Chamber heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. He didn't know how to explain this matter, because what Zhao Hai said wasn't wrong, he didn't violate the Sect's rules. The place where he killed Tong Zheng was inside the Poison Mist Forest, which wasn't inside the Sect, so he didn't violate the Sect's rules. Moreover, Tong Zheng wanted to kill him, so he killed Tong Zheng. This was very normal, he couldn't just wash his neck and wait for Tong Zheng to kill him, this was obviously impossible.
However, the person from the Punishment Hall immediately said, "How did you kill Tong Zheng? You aren't his opponent. Before, you said that you made arrangements. How did you know that Tong Zheng would come looking for you? "
Zhao Hai replied, "I killed him with poison. Since I killed Tong Zheng, naturally Tong Zheng would come looking for me. Therefore, I made some arrangements in advance and waited for Tong Zheng to come."
