Lu Chen and Su Qingjun were both taken aback. After looking at each other, they both stopped in their tracks.
The Kunlun disciple who led the way was also taken aback. He hurriedly rushed over and supported He Yi. He anxiously said, "Shixiong, Shixiong, what happened to you?"
He Yi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He then saw Su Qingjun and Lu Chen behind him and nodded to them.
Seeing that his expression was generally normal, it didn't seem like something serious had happened. Su Qingjun and Lu Chen then walked over.
Su Qingjun looked at He Yi and frowned. "Shixiong, what happened to you? Why do you look so pale?"
He Yi smiled bitterly. He was about to say something when suddenly the others seemed to have sensed something. They all turned their heads to look in the direction of the black courtyard of the martyr's grave.
They saw a gust of wind carrying bursts of smoke and dust suddenly soar into the air like an earth dragon, twisting in the courtyard. The sound of the wind was mournful. One could even faintly hear the sharp whistling sound of the air breaking. Even from far away, one could feel the strong spiritual power rolling near the wind vent.
Lu Chen's expression changed slightly. Su Qingjun, who was next to him, also looked quite surprised. She said, "Someone is fighting inside?"
Before her voice died away, the sound of the wind suddenly became ten times stronger. It actually rushed directly towards the door.
In an instant, sand and stones flew away. Su Qingjun's expression changed slightly in the wind. She suddenly reached out to grab Lu Chen's arm, intending to pull him back. Who knew that her grab would actually grab empty air. She looked back in surprise and found that Lu Chen was running much faster than her. In just a short while, he had actually fled several feet away. It was no wonder that she couldn't catch Lu Chen.
Su Qingjun snorted. She glared at Lu Chen in annoyance and awkwardness. She followed him and mumbled, "His cultivation is not high, but he runs fast!"
Lu Chen's ears were sharp, and he actually heard these words. He smiled at Su Qingjun, who was walking over, and said, "I can't help it. It's not easy to get by in this world, and I don't have the invincible talent like you geniuses. Any one of you is enough to annoy us, the janitor disciples. So, you can do anything in cultivation, but you can't slack off in escaping."
"You talk too much." Su Qingjun first smiled, then scolded him.
On the other side, He Yi took in the two's conversation and expressions. He seemed to be deep in thought, but his expression didn't change much.
After a while, the wind gradually weakened, and the earth dragon in the air seemed to be affected by some powerful force. It twisted more and more, and then suddenly broke in the middle and fell to the ground.
Then, the wind stopped.
A person walked out from the black courtyard, and it was Dongfang Tao.
The darkness rolled and rolled behind him, and one could vaguely see another withered and skinny figure. It was the corpse watcher, but he clearly didn't have much interest in the people outside the cemetery.
Since this figure had appeared, the people who seemed to have been in a fierce battle just now were naturally Dongfang Tao and the corpse watcher. This discovery shocked Lu Chen and Su Qingjun.
It should be known that Dongfang Tao had broken through to the Yuanying realm, and could be considered as another powerful figure in the Kunlun Party. But the most surprising thing was the corpse watcher. Although he looked ugly and skinny, like a lonely old man, or like an old man who had been decaying for many years, from the situation just now, this corpse watcher must have used all kinds of strange secret techniques. Compared to a true Yuanying realm master, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage.
Of course, why these two people fought, and why they suddenly stopped, was not something Lu Chen and Su Qingjun could guess.
Dongfang Tao said something to the corpse watcher, and it seemed that he was a little angry. The corpse watcher also responded with a few words, and it gave off a somewhat strange feeling, which immediately made Dongfang Tao angry again.
But even so, in the end, Dongfang Tao actually suppressed his anger and left the back of the dark mountain peak.
… …
On Dongfang Tao's way out, He Yi, Su Qingjun, and Lu Chen all lowered their heads and bowed to him. Dongfang Tao did not pay much attention to these young people, and at most nodded at He Yi as a sign of respect.
Watching Dongfang Tao swagger off, Lu Chen and Su Qingjun finally reached the edge of the doorway. He Yi was one step ahead of them, and rushed into the courtyard first. He looked at the corpse watcher and said, "Senior, look …"
"You guys do what you need to do, don't mind me." The corpse watcher said coldly, then turned around and walked into the darkness, looking completely different from usual.
He Yi let out a long sigh, and turned to greet Su Qingjun before chatting idly. Lu Chen listened on the side, as if he did not exist.
After some hypocritical pleasantries, Su Qingjun asked He Yi, "Senior brother He, why did you call us over?"
He Yi waved his hand, and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that He Changsheng's death was very tragic, and some higher-ups in the sect couldn't stand it, so they gave the order to thoroughly investigate the matter." He paused for a moment, and his smile was a little modest, but also a little depressed, so much so that no one could tell what he was thinking in his heart. "It just so happens that the two of you were in the Flowing Fragrance Garden that day, and were also there when the quarrel happened …"
Lu Chen and Su Qingjun's faces suddenly darkened, and Su Qingjun said to He Yi with a dark face, "Senior brother He, you called us over without any evidence, I'm afraid it's a little too much!"
He Yi's expression did not change, and he said indifferently, "If the two of you have any opinions about me, you can go directly to Sect Leader Idle Month to complain. Once there's an order, I will naturally stop. "
This order would not be obtained, and Su Qingjun's heart was as clear as a mirror. She took a deep breath, and said, "If that's the case, if there's anything, Senior brother He, you can ask. But before that, I want to go see my good-for-nothing brother, is that okay? "
"I'm afraid that's not very convenient." He Yi directly refused, and then said to Su Qingjun with great respect, "Su Junior sister actually don't have to worry too much, we still have some questions to ask other than Master Su, to see if they are in cahoots with the evildoers of the Evil Faction."
Su Qingjun snorted, and said, "Anyway you called us over, are you suspecting our identities?"
"That won't be the case." He Yi smiled, and said, "Even if I suspect anyone, I won't suspect you. But what needs to be done still needs to be done, in view of the fact that there are many Evil Faction spies in the Cultivation World, it's really hard to guard against them, I was a little rude to the two of you, please forgive me. "
Immediately after, He Yi did not say any more superfluous words, and directly started to interrogate them, and in the middle of it, he even separated the two of them for a period of time. He did not ask many things, but the consecutive questions were somewhat difficult to answer, among which the most crucial one was the night He Changsheng died, where was the person being interrogated.
Originally, three members of the Su family were arrested, but after Su Wen and Su Qian explained where they went that day, they were released. Instead, Sumo, who had been hemming and hawing and refused to clearly state where she was that night, was directly detained.
He Yi seemed to really do what he said, and did not make things difficult for Su Qingjun, but when facing Lu Chen, he seemed to show another side.
He started to interrogate Lu Chen where he was that night, would there be anyone who could prove it?
Lu Chen thought for a while, and realized that he would always be alone, unable to prove others, and unable to prove himself. He Yi immediately became hostile and announced to Su Qingjun, "I'm going to keep this person for now and interrogate him."
Su Qingjun argued with reason, and was unwilling to let Lu Chen stay, but He Yi refused to let him go, and only said that he would not harm Lu Chen, but he really wanted to interrogate him.
Until now, Sumo had not finished asking, so she did not let him go. Of course, Lu Chen was also unwilling to stay, but seeing that He Yi was determined, he gave Su Qingjun a look, signaling her to calm down.
With the advice from her master, Masato Kihara, Su Qingjun knew the vast and profound background behind this matter, and naturally felt a bit of respect. And Lu Chen was often away, who would really care about this?
And the real reason why Lu Chen agreed to stay, was actually because he was curious about this grave — the mysterious corpse watcher, and those dead people.
He Yi brought everyone to this gloomy grave for interrogation, and whether there were other hidden motives.
Lu Chen suddenly wanted to see the face of the person who had been caught and refused to let go.
…
In the end, the two of them came together, but left alone. This scene made Su Qingjun feel a bit uncomfortable, and the gaze she stared at He Yi was particularly unfriendly.
He Yi smiled bitterly, and did not explain much, and sent Su Qingjun away.
In fact, if it was possible, He Yi also wanted Su Qingjun to stay, but in this way, most people on Tie Zhi's side would speak up, and the Su family would be completely enraged, and they might do anything.
That kind of chaos was not what He Yi wanted, nor was it what Immortal Idle Month and his master, Dukon Zhenren wanted.
Lu Chen was brought to a dark room.
In this gloomy place, because of this place's special purpose, even the room looked particularly scary. According to He Yi, he was tired today, and asked Lu Chen to rest first, and talk tomorrow.
Lu Chen did not refute, and silently accepted He Yi's words. Until he was in this dark room, and when he began to try to see and explore the surroundings, he suddenly heard a weak and painful voice from the corner of the room, containing fear.
"Save me, save me … save me …"
Lu Chen immediately stopped, and turned to look at the place where the voice came from.
After a moment, he suddenly walked a few steps in that direction, and came to a corner. Then, he squatted down and looked at the figure who was huddled up in the corner. He sighed and said, "Young Master Su, how are you?"
