When Duan Liantian left the Shanghai Peak, he didn't tell anyone where he was going, nor did he tell anyone where he was going.
It was strange for Chi Yan to suddenly appear outside of Jianli City, unless he had followed him here.
Moreover, a disciple of the younger generation of Aoyama had just died tragically in this ruined temple, and it had something to do with the Underworld Devil Man, but Chi Yan told him to go back first.
What did he mean by that? What was the meaning of his sudden appearance here?
Duan Liantian looked at Chi Yan in silence, waiting for an explanation.
Chi Yan didn't say anything.
The snow falling from the ruined temple suddenly became heavier.
Like goose feathers.
Duan Liantian's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Chi Yan to be so tough. He said in a deep voice, "I came to Jianli to investigate a case."
Chi Yan still didn't say anything. He just looked at him in Silence.
Duan Liantian snorted, and the wind and snow suddenly became stronger.
These two elders of the Shanghai Peak confronted each other in a ruined temple far away from Aoyama.
The ruined temple was completely ruined. The walls and windows had collapsed, and the wind and snow kept pouring in. After a while, the bonfire was extinguished.
The trees outside the temple were also covered in snow. The branches became heavy and tottered, and the green and yellow grass became white.
The grasshoppers hiding in the grass froze one after another, and then they fell to the ground and died, no longer able to survive until after autumn.
Duan Liantian's body shook slightly. He knew he was no match for Chi Yan, so he withdrew his sword will and said to Chi Yan, "What's so great about the Broken Sea Realm?"
Chi Yan still didn't answer his question and left on his sword.
Looking at the remains of the bonfire, Duan Liantian sighed and left on his sword.
The sword light disappeared in the darkness.
The wind and snow gradually stopped.
…
…
It didn't snow in the Shanghai Peak, but it was even colder.
It was even colder in the depths of the Forbidden Cave than in the snowfield. The walls were covered with frost that hadn't melted for ten thousand years, and all kinds of flowers were growing on them.
Yuan Qijing stood by the well. It was unclear if he was still looking at the scenery at the bottom of the well, but he didn't turn around when he heard the footsteps and the salutes.
"I have the right to leave the mountain to investigate cases. I don't understand why you stopped me and brought me back."
Duan Liantian seemed to be in the right, but everyone could hear the uneasiness in his voice.
Yuan Qijing said nothing.
Chi Yan asked, "Who asked you to investigate Zuo Yi's case?"
Duan Liantian said, "This is a case I handled. Why can't I investigate it?"
Chi Yan then asked, "You didn't investigate for more than ten years. Why do you suddenly want to investigate now?"
"Liu Shisui hasn't been in Aoyama for the past dozen years, so how am I supposed to investigate?" Duan Liantian was a little annoyed.
Chi Yan slightly raised his brows and said, "Do you know that Martial Nephew Liu has made a great contribution to my Aoyama?"
Duan Liantian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I didn't think too much about it. I only know that I'm absolutely not mistaken. Liu Shisui must have something to do with Zuo Yi's death. Otherwise, why would he refuse to say where he went that night? What is he hiding? "
"You wouldn't say it even if you died. That's a good way to say it."
Chi Yan looked at him indifferently and said, "Back then, you thought he was a traitor who stole the Demon Core and learned the secret methods of the Evil Path, so you tortured him very severely. Now, he has returned to Aoyama in glory and has become a meritorious minister. Don't you panic?"
Duan Liantian's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Both you and I didn't know that the Immortal Sect Master asked Liangwang Peak to do this. Do you want me to take responsibility?"
Chi Yan said indifferently, "The problem is that Liu Shisui won't forget the suffering he has suffered. With his current future, it's reasonable for you to be panicked."
Duan Liantian was really panicked, and he hurriedly explained, "I don't deny that I have such an idea. If something happens to him, I don't have to worry about him holding a grudge. But the problem is that I didn't lie. He is so suspicious, so why don't we investigate?"
Shanghai Peak had found out that the disciple of the younger generation who died in the ruined temple was Jian Rushan, a disciple of Liangwang Peak.
In addition to Zuo Yi's case, Jian Rushan's death seemed to be some kind of proof, or at least an explanation.
Jian Rushan was killed by a devil of the Underworld.
It was similar to the way Wei Chenzi died in Zhongzhou School.
The Cultivation circle generally believed that Bulao Lin killed Jian Rushan to silence him.
The Dace Devil in the Muddy River and the many files found in the Cloud Platform all proved that Bulao Lin had indeed colluded with the Underworld in recent years.
Now that the Cloud Platform had been destroyed, and the Western Sea Sword School had retreated to the distant sea two thousand miles away, who else could continue to use the Underworld to kill people?
"It was Liu Shisui."
Duan Liantian gritted his teeth and said, "We all know that Xiwang Sun appreciates him very much, and those files and testimonies have all mentioned it. If the method or channel of communication between Bulao Lin and the Underworld has been preserved, it is most likely to fall into his hands."
Hearing this, Yuan Qijing finally turned around and looked at him, asking, "What on earth have you found out?"
Duan Liantian said, "Zuo Yi's connection in the Curtain Rollers is called Lin Huangyan. This person disappeared after Zuo Yi's death, and he was found dead a few years ago."
"Continue," Yuan Qijing said expressionlessly.
Duan Liantian said hesitantly, "I've read the files of the Curtain Rollers and confirmed that Lin Huangyan was investigating … the Master of the Shenmo Peak at that time."
Chi Yan asked with furrowed brows, "Why did the Curtain Rollers show you the files?"
The Curtain Rollers had done a perfect job in reporting the information.
Duan Liantian wasn't involved in the case, so he shouldn't have had access to those files.
Duan Liantian gritted his teeth and said, "I used the name of the Sword Justice."
Chi Yan's expression changed slightly, and he was about to scold him when Yuan Qijing asked him to continue.
Duan Liantian said, "Nobody knows what Lin Huangyan was investigating. We only know that he met Zuo Yi, and then Zuo Yi returned to the mountain overnight and died."
"Do you want to die, too?" Yuan Qijing asked.
Do you want to die?
When this mantra came out from the mouth of the disciples of Aoyama, it was either generous or mocking, but it had a strong taste.
Yet, Yuan Qijing said this in a calm voice, as silent as the falling snow.
This was a warning to Duan Liantian, so he hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
First of all, he used the name of the Shangde Peak.
Second, this case.
According to the rules of Aoyama, without the permission of the headmaster or the Sword Justice, anyone who investigated the Peak Lords was seeking death.
"Zuo Yi's friend in the Curtain Rollers is Lin Huangyan. This should be a secret. Who told you this?"
Chi Yan suddenly asked.
Duan Liantian didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He took out a letter and handed it over.
Chi Yan took the letter and glanced at it, then said to Yuan Qijing, "It's the same as the letter the Jian Clan received. There's no aura left, so it can't be traced."
Hearing this, Duan Liantian finally realized that there was something wrong with this matter, and he felt remorseful.
…
…
"Did you kill Lin Huangyan?"
"The Curtain Rollers informed me after they found his whereabouts. I was about to kill Lo Huainan outside the mountain, so I went there to kill him."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You were still in the snowland at that time."
Jing Jiu looked at Zhao Layue and asked, "Are you still investigating?"
Zhao Layue lowered her head and said, "Hmm."
A few days ago, Jing Jiu had thought that she was much more sensible than Liu Shisui and that he had brought her back to the right path. But today, it turned out that he had been thinking too much.
