As he spoke, Qi Zheng looked at Qi Yun and said, "If Cheng Xu did not remind you, you would have left the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven long ago, right?"
"Yes, my Lord." Qi Yun was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, "I checked the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven and found that everything was normal. Naturally, I had to leave. I definitely would not destroy the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven's restrictions."
"If that person did not say that," Qi Zheng asked Cheng Xu, "when would you have become suspicious?"
"I definitely would not have become suspicious." Cheng Xu answered honestly, "That person looked just like my Master. There were no flaws at all."
"Then when would you have investigated the situation in the Great Hall?"
"I wouldn't dare." Cheng Xu answered, "This is my Master's taboo. Even if I had some doubts in my heart."
"When would you have any doubts?"
"Even if you did, it … it would be several eras later, right?"
"That's why." Qi Zheng smiled and said, "This could be Gao Lingsong's trick. I know that he is the most cautious person, but he also has a small flaw of being complacent. He must have failed to find Wang Lang, so he had no choice but to set up such a trap. He made us think that he was assassinated while he escaped."
"My Lord is wise!" It was not that Qi Yun did not think about it. However, he could only look at Qi Zheng with admiration and be convinced.
Cheng Xu was helpless. With a bitter expression, he said, "My Lord is wise."
"Unfortunately," Qi Zheng smiled and said, "All of this is just this old man's conjecture. The truth may not be so."
"Yes, yes." Cheng Xu hurriedly said, "My Lord, there are really two possibilities."
"Yes." Qi Zheng nodded and said, "The first possibility is that Gao Lingsong was killed by someone. That person transformed into Gao Lingsong and took the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven to escape from the Colorless Realm. Then, the question is, what did that person mean when he said something that could make the Four Brahmas boil?? Qi Yun, if it were you, would you do it? "
"Of course not." Qi Yun shook his head and said, "That's just giving away three hundred taels of silver!"
"The question is." Cheng Xu smiled and said, "If the second possibility is that my Master escaped, what did he mean by that?"
"Let's not talk about that for now." Qi Zheng smiled and said, "Let's talk about your three doubts. Firstly, we can't rule out the possibility that Gao Lingsong was really injured. Secondly, if Gao Lingsong had left such a message, wouldn't it be normal for him to remove the restriction on the Ruyi Scepter and leave it for you? "
"This …" A sense of regret rose in Cheng Xu's heart as he said in a low voice, "My master has always treated us extremely well. If he had really escaped, he might have been afraid of implicating us. It's normal for him to remove his little tricks."
"That's right." Qi Zheng nodded. "Gao Lingsong fled in fear of punishment. You guys are the most directly implicated, followed by me. Since he left behind these words, he can naturally exonerate you and me!"
"My Lord," Qi Yun said anxiously. "If that's the case, he can do it himself. He should know the importance of this sentence."
"Time!" Qi Zheng smiled. "He doesn't have enough time! He had no way to prove that this sentence was correct before the time given by the Heavenly Venerable! Moreover, don't forget that Wang Lang's disappearance and the item that Lord Sky Sovereign wanted went missing. These are two major crimes. Moreover, by saying this, I'm afraid he's imploring me to let him go. "
"My Lord, you're right." Qi Yun felt like prostrating himself on the ground again. "I've been investigating carefully recently. There's no way to verify that sentence, nor … nor do I dare to verify it. Furthermore, I think that Gao Lingsong might have done as he said and gone to verify this sentence. "
Cheng Xu was stunned and said in a panic, "Could there be a third possibility?"
"Why not?" Qi Yun looked at Cheng Xu and smiled. "Gao Lingsong might have gone to the lower realm to find the item that Lord Sky Sovereign wanted."
"Actually," Qi Zheng smiled and said, "there's another piece of evidence that proves that Gao Lingsong fled in fear of punishment."
"My Lord, please enlighten me." Qi Yun did not understand and said anxiously, "I think that I've already considered everything."
"The Heavenly Venerable Lock and the Jade Pearl Needle!" Qi Zheng explained. "These two items are Heaven Punishment Immortal Artifacts of the Heavenly Venerable Residence. The Heavenly Venerable Lock is used to suppress them. Cheng Xu, you've also helped your master to set up an Immortal Artifact Space. What do you think?"
"It's as powerful as a mountain and as imposing as the heavens!" Cheng Xu thought for a moment and said, "I was waiting outside and could not see what happened inside. It was only when the space was torn apart in the end that I saw that my Lord was severely injured!"
"Qi Yun, you must know." Qi Zheng continued, "Even if I fell into the Heavenly Venerable Seal's suppression space, it would be difficult for me to break free from the bindings of the nomological chains. How could I have injured Gao Lingsong so severely? There's also that Jade Pearl Needle. Lord Sky Sovereign used the corpse of a demon beast in the Demon Alliance to refine it. It was used to suppress demon spirits. Later on, someone discovered that it had a miraculous effect on immortals. That was why it was used in conjunction with the Heavenly Venerable Lock. One suppresses, the other kills. When Gao Lingsong came to me on the day of the Lantern Festival to ask for the token, I sent him a message. He said that all the arrangements were made in Huang Zengtian and that this was just a backup plan. Think about it, how powerful could someone who fell into Huang Zengtian's trap be? Even if he managed to escape from Gao Lingsong's hands in Huang Zengtian, could he escape from Gao Lingsong's Heavenly Venerable Lock? What's more, I suspect that Gao Lingsong's injuries were self-directed and self-staged! "
Qi Yun and Cheng Xu looked at each other. Neither of them had thought about the Heavenly Venerable Lock and the Jade Pearl Needle. After all, they did not know how powerful these two Heaven Punishment Immortal Artifacts were.
Now that they heard that even if Qi Zheng fell into Gao Lingsong's Exalted Celestial Manor, he wouldn't be able to do anything, the two of them felt a little relieved. How could Huang Cengtian's layout compare to the Exalted Celestial Lock's suppression space?
Other than Gao Lingsong deliberately mystifying things, they could not think of anything else.
"However," Qi Zheng pondered for a moment and took out a token from his sleeve. He handed it to Qi Yun and said, "When I was not in the Heavenly Venerable Residence previously, Gao Lingsong said that he was very confident, so I did not ask him in detail. Now that he did not leave anything behind, Qi Yun, you still have to investigate how Wang Lang disappeared. No matter what, I have to give the Heavenly Venerable a reply."
Qi Yun took the token. Qi Zheng looked at the layers of restrictions outside the hall and said, "As for me, I have to meet the Heavenly Venerable immediately. Since Gao Lingsong dared to say this, he must have some confidence! As for whether he lives or dies, I believe the Hall Master has the power to decide! "
At this moment, Xiao Hua was no longer the Xiao Hua of the past. Although he could not fully grasp Qi Zheng and the others' speculations, he had already guessed most of it. Otherwise, he would not have left Cheng Xu such a message after sweeping through the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven. He knew from Gao Lingsong's memories that Gao Lingsong did not tell anyone about him. Even if Qi Yun were to investigate again, who knew when they would find out about him?
