Many people gathered outside the City Guards Mansion to watch the show. No one knew why the Onyx Army was going through so much trouble. When they saw that Ji You was the first to come out, they were surprised but felt that it was reasonable. After all, he was from the River Styx's Water Tribe. The Onyx Army would not dare to touch him. Otherwise, they would be breaking the ancient rule. By then, even Madam Blackpool would not be able to protect them.
The Heartless Palace Elder in charge here was He Zhengkuang. When he saw Ji You come out, he immediately went over and cupped his hands at Ji You. "I am He Zhengkuang, the Heartless Palace Elder. Cang Yun Xin, who went in with you, is the Chief High Priest of our sect. We are from the same sect. May I know your name?"
"River Styx's Water Tribe, Ji You!" Ji You replied politely.
"So it's Mister Ji." He Zhengkuang cupped his hands and asked politely, "You all went in together, but Mister Ji was the first to come out. Can you tell me what happened inside? Is our High Priest safe and sound?"
"He's temporarily imprisoned inside. He's fine for now …" Ji You suddenly exclaimed. He looked around and did not see Mu Bing and the others. He asked suspiciously, "You said I'm the first to come out?"
"That's right. Is there a problem?" He Zhengkuang did not dare to be careless. If anything happened to Cang Yun Xin here, he would not be able to escape responsibility.
The dark and skinny Ji You frowned. "Before I came out, there were already six people who came out to be interrogated. Did none of them come out? Why didn't I see them go back? Where did they go? "
He Zhengkuang smiled worriedly. "The City Guards Mansion is so big. They should be somewhere else for now! It's probably because you're from the River Styx's Water Tribe, so they don't dare to do anything to you. That's why they let you out first. "Ji You's frown eased and he nodded slightly. He felt that was the case …
In the dungeon, two soldiers came again. They opened the cell door and pointed at Cang Yun Xin. "It's your turn. Come out!"
Just as Graycloud Xin walked to the door, he paused and looked at Yue Qianchou who was alone in the cell. He frowned and said, "Why do you have to go back and forth so troublesome? Just call him and we'll go out together." What he was worried about now was what would happen if someone tried to kill Yue Qianchou while he was away. It was not that he treasured Yue Qianchou's life, but if Yue Qianchou died, his own life would come to an end.
The soldier immediately shouted, "Of course, there are rules for interrogation. How can we give you a chance to collude on the spot? We have to interrogate you one by one. Don't dawdle, go quickly!"
Cang Yunxin thought about it and agreed, but he was still worried about Yue Qianchou's safety. Yue Qianchou walked to the door with a smile and said, "Old Cang! You go first! I have some relationship with Lady Blackpool, so I don't think these little pawns would dare to do anything to me. "
As soon as he said that, the two soldiers looked at each other in surprise. Gray Cloud Xin was also slightly startled. He looked at Yue Qianchou in confusion. He didn't know when Yue Qianchou had gotten involved with Madam Blackpool. Even so, he still released his divine sense to scan the entire dungeon. After confirming that there was no one else, he left with the two soldiers with a little relief.
After leaving the dungeon, he was sent to the main hall in the front room just like Shen You. One of the soldiers who escorted him quickly walked to the side of the general who was sitting calmly in the hall. He lowered his head slightly, obviously transmitting his voice to the general. General Lu was taken aback for a moment, then he sneered and said, "What a joke! Madam is of high status and power. How could she have any relationship with him? Don't pay attention to his nonsense." The soldier seemed to want to say something, but he eventually shut his mouth and retreated.
Cang Yunxin, who was standing in the hall, had already guessed that they were talking about Yue Qianchou. In fact, he did not take Yue Qianchou's words seriously. Just think about it, he had never seen Lady Blackpool or heard that she had been to the Immortal Realm before. On the other hand, it was clearly Yue Qianchou's first time in the Netherworld Realm. How could he have any relationship with Lady Blackpool? If he really had such a great reputation, he would not have ended up like this.
Suddenly, Cang Yunxin stared at the person sitting high in the hall and said in a deep voice, "Ask anything, I will tell you everything I know."
General Lu nodded slightly, then tilted his head and said, "Call He Zhengkuang of Heartless Palace in." One of his subordinates immediately ran out. Cang Yunxin looked at the hall in confusion.
Not long after, He Zhengkuang followed his subordinate into the hall. He gave Cang Yunxin a once-over and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was unharmed. He cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, High Deacon!" He then cupped his fists and said, "General Lu, may I know what you have summoned me for?"
General Lu was still wearing his armor. He sat behind the stone table in a dignified manner. After staring at the two of them for a while, he casually picked up a jade archive from the table and looked at it. After a long while, he put it down and looked at the people below. He asked, "He Zhengkuang, are you certain that he is the chief High Deacon of your Heartless Palace, Cang Yunxin?"
Cang Yunxin's gaze turned cold. He thought that General Lu was up to something again. He Zhengkuang quickly replied, "General Lu, what do you mean by that? If he isn't my sect's High Deacon, I wouldn't have needed to step forward."
"That makes things easier. I'll take it that your Heartless Palace is vouching for him." General Lu placed his arms on the table and stared at the people below. He said indifferently, "Since you're the one who vouched for him, I won't ask any more questions. However, I'll be frank. If I find out that he has anything to do with the matter I'm investigating, don't blame me for being rude to your Heartless Palace. "
He Zhengkuang stole a glance at Cang Yunxin. He didn't know what was going on around him, nor did he know if it had anything to do with Cang Yunxin. He couldn't make up his mind if he wanted to use the lives of everyone from Heartless Palace in the Underworld as collateral. He needed someone more experienced to make the decision.
Truth be told, Cang Yunxin himself didn't even know what was going on around him. He was caught in a daze. However, there was one thing he could guarantee. Whatever happened around him had nothing to do with him. He sneered, "You don't have to threaten me. I didn't do anything around here on my way here."
Since the High Deacon had said that, He Zhengkuang wouldn't be blamed if anything happened. He nodded and said, "My Heartless Palace is willing to vouch for High Deacon!"
"That's great!" General Lu waved his hand and said, "Since I've vouched for him, you can leave now."
The matter was easily resolved. He Zhengkuang cupped his hands to express his gratitude. Then, he turned to Cang Yunxin and extended his hand toward the door. "High Deacon, please!"
"No hurry!" Cang Yunxin pressed his hand down and stared at the door. He said in a deep voice, "Yue Qianchou traveled with me. I can guarantee that he didn't do anything around here. Please let him go."
"The innocent are innocent, and the guilty are innocent. I have to follow all the necessary procedures. Otherwise, wouldn't I be suspected of corruption? I will treat High Deacon Cang's words as testimony. If there's nothing wrong, I will naturally let him go. Please don't interfere with my interrogation. "General Lu extended his hand toward the door and said," I won't see you out! "
Cang Yunxin's eyes turned cold. He wanted to stay and wait for Yue Qianchou to come out. However, a bitter expression flashed across He Zhengkuang's face. How could the upper echelons of the sect know the difficulties of the subordinates outside? The Dark Nether Army had already given him enough face by making concessions. If he continued to contradict them, his days here would be difficult. After all, this was their territory. The Dark Nether Army would definitely make things difficult for him. If he couldn't handle the matters here well, he wouldn't be able to explain to the sect.
He coughed and cupped his hands toward Cang Yunxin, "High Deacon, we might as well wait outside the door!"
Cang Yunxin was slightly startled. He was also someone who often worked outside. He was not ignorant of the difficulties of the subordinates like He Zhengkuang thought. After thinking about it, there shouldn't be any problems. He glanced at General Lu, who was sitting high above, then turned and strode out. He Zhengkuang breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands again, and quickly followed.
As soon as they left the City Guard Mansion, they saw a group of people watching the show. Shen You, who was in the crowd, hurriedly walked over to Cang Yunxin and asked, "How is Yue Qianchou?"
In fact, as soon as Cang Yunxin was escorted out of the dungeon, Mu Bing and the others, led by Dong Lai Shun, came out of a house not far away. The shackles on their hands and feet were long gone. The two soldiers accompanying them quickly gestured for the guards to open the cell door. The group quickly entered the dungeon …
Inside the cell, Yue Qianchou was bored alone. He paced around the small space with his hands behind his back, his head lowered and his brows furrowed as he thought about some problems. He wasn't worried about any accidents at all. With his ability, this cell could trap other cultivators, but it was useless against him. He could leave at any time, and it was no different from a piece of paper.
"Clang!" The sound of the cell door opening pulled him back from his thoughts. It was probably time for him to go to court. However, he heard footsteps along the way. It wasn't like before, where there were only two soldiers. There seemed to be seven or eight people.
While he was pondering, the seven or eight people had already arrived in front of the cell. They were all familiar faces, and they were all sneering at him. They looked at him as if he was a pig that was about to be slaughtered. Mu Bing, who was in the crowd, laughed evilly and said, "Yue Qianchou, I told you that no matter how sharp-tongued you are, there will be a time when you cry. Even in your dreams, you probably never imagined that this moment would come so quickly! "
Yue Qianchou was slightly stunned. He saw that the shackles on their hands and feet were gone, and that the two soldiers were fighting on the side. With his experience in this area, he immediately guessed the cause and effect. He knew that he had fallen into a trap. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "It is indeed a good plan. Step by step, you paralyzed us and successfully made us lower our guard. Finally, as you wished, Cang Yunxin was lured away."
His gaze then fell on Mu Bing, and he sneered with unusual disdain, "Mu Bing, it's not that I look down on you, but with that pig brain of yours and that little bit of knowledge of yours, you can't come up with such an overt scheme. So … what the f * ck are you so proud of! "
