After Cai Tian took over the Eight Harmonies Sect, he was in charge of all the matters in the sect. Many people knew that the Four Seas Empyrean had been killed, and in fact, there were many people in the Eight Harmonies Sect who were on Su Yun's side. After all, the actions of the Four Seas Empyrean were indeed shameful.
However, although there were people who supported Su Yun and were led by Cai Tian, it did not mean that they were loyal to Su Yun. It was impossible for Su Yun's Heart Control Pill to be distributed to every single person in the Eight Harmonies Sect. Forget about the fact that the True Devil Realm could not create so many Heart Control Pills, just Su Yun's body alone was unable to control so many existences. He would only choose to control the leader of a sect and use the leader to control the people below. If the leader fell, then it would be extremely difficult to rein in the sect.
Su Yun knew this logic, Cai Tian also knew this logic, but Cai Tian had followed Su Yun for a short period of time, and with regards to this new master, he more or less had some understanding in his heart. Su Yun's strength far surpassed that of the Four Seas Empyrean, and the power he held in his hands was many times stronger than that of the Eight Harmonies Sect. If such an existence was unwilling to follow him, he would definitely not betray him, because if he was angered, no one would be able to protect him.
Cai Tian did not know what methods Su Yun had at the moment, but from the news that the Immortal Court was about to arrive, it was likely that Su Yun's spies had already infiltrated the Immortal Court.
For a Devil Cultivator to have such methods, how could it not be shocking?
Inside the temple.
Cai Tian was standing in the middle of the temple, looking at the seven people who had walked in with a face full of smiles. Seeing the seven of them enter, he immediately cupped his fists and went up to welcome them.
"The esteemed guests of the Immortal Court have arrived, Cai Tian has failed to welcome you! Forgive me, forgive me! Oh? Isn't this Lord Shen? I never thought that your son would personally come to visit today. Cai Tian is flattered. "Hehehehe …"
"Elder Cai Tian, there's no need to be so formal. We are here today because we have official business to attend to. Let's get straight to the point."
The man in the lead called Shen Qi said with a solemn expression.
When Cai Tian heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Xuan'er quickly squeezed out a smile and asked carefully, "So it's official business. I wonder what official business all of you have come to my Eight Harmonies Sect for?"
"It's about the death of the Eight Unity Sect's Sect Master, Heavenly Venerate Four Seas!"
The short-haired man at the forefront took out a silver-gray token from the inside of the iron-colored belt around his waist and presented it to Cai Tian. He said in a deep voice, "The Immortal Court has officially handed over this matter to me, Shen VII, a few days ago. From today onwards, the seven of us will be responsible for investigating this matter."
"Investigate?" Cai Tian revealed a confused and puzzled expression as he questioned, "Shen Daren, what do you mean by this? Wasn't my sect's Empyrean of the Four Seas killed by the people of Jing Yu Imperial Palace? How were they supposed to investigate? Wasn't Lin Yujing invited to the Immortal Court? Why did you come to Eight Unity Sect to investigate? You should go ask Lin Yujing!! "
"After a detailed investigation by the Immortal Court, it was proven that Lin Yujing was not the mastermind behind the murder of Empyrean of the Four Seas, nor did he participate in this matter. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with him. Elder Cai Tian may have been deceived by those villains. They purposely brought Empyrean of the Four Seas' head to Jing Yu Imperial Palace, creating the illusion that it was Lin Yujing who wanted to kill Empyrean of the Four Seas. Immediately, Lin Yujing was acquitted and returned to Jing Yu Imperial Palace. Although he is acquitted, the mastermind of this matter has yet to be found. Therefore, we have come here to investigate."
Shen VII said expressionlessly.
"Acquitted?"
When Cai Tian heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he was enraged, "How can he be acquitted? Are you sure you're not mistaken? It was clearly Lin Yujing who coveted the wealth of my Eight Unity Sect and wanted to annex my Eight Unity Sect. That was why he was killed. How can you all acquitted him? I refuse to accept this!! My Eight Unity Sect refuses to accept this!! You all must give me an explanation!! "
"Elder Cai Tian, there is no need to overreact. The reason why we determined that Lin Yujing was innocent was because he had been cooperating with us. Even when we used the mind-reading technique on him, he had no use." Shen VII said indifferently, "I believe that Lord Cai Tian does not doubt the methods of the Immortal Court, right? If you have any questions about our investigation method or the process of the investigation, you can appeal to the Immortal Court at any time. The Lord of the Immortal Court will definitely uphold justice for you! "
Shen VII spoke at a moderate pace.
However, when Cai Tian heard this, his expression changed slightly. He did not dare to say anything more.
Shen VII looked around and said indifferently, "Elder Cai Tian, now I will ask you some questions. I hope you can take the initiative to cooperate with me. Is that possible?"
Cai Tian licked his lower lip and nodded, "If you all have any questions, feel free to ask. Cai Tian will tell you everything he knows."
"That's good."
Shen VII looked at Cai Tian seriously and said, "When Empyrean of the Four Seas was killed, Elder Cai Tian, where were you at that time?"
"Me? I was cultivating in seclusion at that time. I was in a meditative state and did not know what was happening outside. "
"When did you come out of seclusion?"
"Not long after Empyrean was killed …"
"Not long after Empyrean was killed? Since you were killed, how did you pursue the culprit? "
"The culprit was trapped by the disciples of the Eight Harmonies Gate and could not escape. I wanted to capture him, but he was very cunning. I did not know what trick he used, but he escaped a thousand miles away. I led the elites of the Eight Harmonies Gate and chased him all the way to the outside of the Jing Yu Emperor Palace."
"Since the culprit was trapped, why did he take the head of Empyrean Four Seas? Under those circumstances, wouldn't it seem superfluous? "
"Perhaps he wanted to take the head and report to Lin Yujing, lest Lin Yujing did not believe that they had completed their mission. You have to ask Lin Yujing about this. Cai Tian does not know the reason. "
Cai Tian said indifferently.
Although he was answering, his words were subconsciously telling the people of the Immortal Court that Lin Yujing was the culprit.
"Lin Yujing is already innocent. We won't be able to find anything from him. Elder Cai Tian only needs to seriously answer our questions. You don't need to think about anything else." Shen Qi seemed to have directly ignored Cai Tian's words. His expression was still as cold as ever.
"You are right, my lord." Cai Tian did not dare to contradict the people of the Immortal Court. He immediately cupped his fists and said with a lowered head.
"Let's get back to the main topic." Shen Qi said indifferently, "Lin Yu Jing has been examined by the Mind Reading Technique and has been determined to be innocent. But … he also has his doubts and excuses. Moreover … it is about you, Elder Cai Tian. Do you want to hear it?
Cai Tian frowned and pondered. After a long time, he said, "There is no harm in telling me, my lord."
Shen VII nodded and said, "After Lin Yujing entered the Immortal Court, he has been asking to see Lord Zun Li, saying that he hopes Lord Zun Li can convict you."
"Convict me?" Cai Tian was startled, "Convict me of what crime?"
"Colluding with a villain, plotting to murder the sect's Venerable, and trying to control the Eight Unity Sect!!" Shen VII said with a solemn expression.
"I am innocent!!!" Cai Tian immediately shouted, "I, Cai Tian, am loyal to the Eight Unity Sect. How would I dare to plot against the Venerable? Moreover, it was Lin Yujing who harmed my Venerable. He naturally hoped that I would suffer. That's why he said such a thing. I hope Lord Zun Li can understand!!! "
As he spoke, Cai Tian actually began to cry bitterly. He directly sprawled on the ground and wailed loudly, looking extremely wronged.
Back then, in the Jing Yu Imperial Palace, he had also behaved like this. It was said that this matter had caused quite a few people to be interested. It was believed that when Shen Qi went to the Eight Harmonies Gate, he had also done some research on Cai Tian and was not surprised by this.
"If you want to understand, it's not that there is no way." Shen VII suddenly stared at Cai Tian, and his voice gradually deepened, "At that time, Lin Yujing was like you. He cried that he was innocent, but without evidence, we would not believe him. Therefore, he accepted our most direct and effective method, which was to let us use the Mind Reading Technique on him to read his thoughts. If he had any ulterior motives, he would definitely not be able to hide it. After we used the technique, what we read would be that he had nothing to do with this matter, and he did not plot against the Four Seas Heavenly Lord. Elder Cai Tian, if you really did not plot against the Four Seas Heavenly Lord, and you are really innocent, then … I believe that you do not mind us using the Mind Reading Technique on you, right?"
Shen VII said indifferently.
As soon as he said this, Cai Tian's face immediately turned pale. His pupils dilated several times. He was startled and looked at Shen VII. After a moment, he seemed to have come to his senses and hurriedly said with a smile, "Lord Shen, what … what do you mean? Mind Reading Technique … Isn't it just the Great Exquisite Technique? How can a person's state of mind be peeped at by them? Putting aside the fact that Cai Tian is innocent, if we let you read his mind, wouldn't the secrets of the Eight Harmonies Sect hidden in Cai Tian's heart be leaked? "
"Elder Cai Tian, you don't have to worry about this at all."
Shen VII seemed to have expected Cai Tian to say this. He directly took out a transparent glass bottle from the exquisite space bag hanging on his waist. The bottle was filled with some glistening liquid, making the bottle look crystal clear.
"This is the Water of Erasure. Elder Cai Tian, if you are innocent after the Mind Reading Technique, I will immediately drink this water and erase my memory. No matter what secrets the Eight Harmonies Sect has, I will forget them completely. So … you don't have to worry at all. "
Shen VII stared at Cai Tian seriously.
"Ah …"
Cai Tian was dumbfounded. He probably did not expect Shen VII to have such a trick. The Immortal Court actually had something like the Water of Erasure …
Looking at Cai Tian's hesitant expression, Shen VII frowned and said indifferently, "What's wrong? Elder Cai Tian, do you still have any concerns?? "
"This … this …"
"The Four Seas Heavenly Lord is the leader of a sect and the Eight Harmonies Sect is not an ordinary small sect. The death of a Heavenly Lord is not a small matter to the Immortal World. The Immortal Court is very concerned about it. For this reason, we have no choice but to use the Mind Reading Technique. I hope Elder Cai Tian can actively cooperate with us. Otherwise … we can only take forceful measures."
At this moment, Shen VII's voice suddenly became deep. His eyes were slightly cold as he stared at Cai Tian.
