Two gigantic visualization diagrams confronted each other in the void outside Heaven City. The Dark Cicada's body was almost one with the void, while its pair of wings seemed to spread out two brilliant Milky Ways. It was incomparably resplendent and beautiful. The monster opposite it was also abnormally huge, its body stretched out to ten thousand feet.
At this moment, a portion of the people in Heaven City saw this scene.
Even though the visualization diagram in this realm was only an illusion and not something that truly existed, it was still enough to bring about an impact on one's mind.
Hong Yuanqiu said in a low voice, "Immediately pass down the order. Say that Yu Xuanzun's disciple is exchanging pointers with a fellow cultivator. Take the opportunity to intimidate the enemy. Tell the soldiers not to be surprised, not to interfere, and not to comment on this matter."
If the soldiers knew that their own people were fighting first, or that the Patrol Envoy had come to their door and clashed with Xuan Zun's disciples, rumors would definitely spread. Not only would the morale of the soldiers be shaken, it might also lead to Shangchen's cultivators taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, he had to find a way to cover it up.
After Bian Lan's aura reached its peak, he took the initiative to attack. The gigantic monster visualization diagram behind him suddenly dived forward, its huge figure pressing straight ahead!
Zhang Yu could tell at a glance that Bian Lan was using the rare method of suppressing others with his aura.
When facing such an enemy, one would usually avoid it. However, when facing the visualization diagram that was pressing down like a mountain, he had no intention of dodging at all. He directly reached out his hand and pressed it!
In the next moment, an incomparably bright light shone at the place where the two of them collided. It was as if hundreds of Dark Weapons had exploded at the same time. The light continued to flicker as if a bright sun was born there, illuminating Heaven City not far away.
The collision in the void did not cause any shockwaves or sound, but the spectators in Heaven City were all shocked by this scene.
Zhang Yu stood in the light, pressing down on the visualization diagram. However, he also noticed that this was not Bian Lan's full strength. The latter was obviously holding back and leaving some leeway.
Although this attack caused a great commotion, it could only be regarded as a probing attack at best.
He immediately understood Bian Lan's intention when he sensed the subtle reaction from Bian Lan's aura. It seemed that the person opposite him was not as reckless as he had shown earlier.
After the light dissipated, Bian Lan didn't attack again. Instead, he looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Inspector Zhang, I'm no match for you, and I can't stop you. However, I have a request."
In the collision earlier, it wasn't difficult for him to sense that he was far from being a match for Zhang Yu in terms of the strength of his Heart Light.
If they really wanted to determine the winner, then they could only compare their fighting skills. However, if he couldn't even beat his opponent in the area he was good at, there was no need to mention anything else. Furthermore, with that strike just now, he had already given his fellow disciples an explanation.
Zhang Yu asked, "What do you want to say?"
Bian Lan said sincerely, "Even if Junior Brother Luo is truly in the wrong, he's still my junior brother. Please give me a chance, Inspector Zhang. I'll do my best to persuade him to tell the truth. This way, I can at least save some face for my sect."
Zhang Yu understood what he meant. Since Bian Lan was participating in the investigation, then to the outside world, it would be said that he had investigated the matter himself. Afterwards, he could still save some face.
He wasn't obsessed with how he was going to interrogate Luo Chengfeng. He only cared about the final result.
Luo Chengfeng wasn't particularly valued under Yu Xuanzun's tutelage, nor did he have the ability to do so many things. He believed that there was definitely someone else behind the scenes directing him.
As for whether or not this person was Bian Lan, the possibility of this was actually very small.
He had seen these people's records before. Bian Lan had never been stationed on the main planet. Instead, he led his fellow disciples back and forth among the hundreds of planets to fight against foreign enemies. He would only return at the beginning of every month to replace them.
When he was on Frost Star, this person was still far away on a distant planet. Even if he gave orders, he wouldn't have been able to arrive in time.
Moreover, if he were the person behind the scenes, he would have done his best to hide and not be noticed. He wouldn't have been in a hurry to jump out and stop him, because doing so would instead attract suspicion.
If this person could persuade Luo Chengfeng, then it would save him some time, and even make it easier for him to find the person who was hiding even deeper.
Based on this consideration, he nodded and said, "Alright."
Many thanks, Bian Lan said solemnly.
Zhang Yu didn't care about Bian Lan's attitude at this moment. If he hadn't displayed enough strength to intimidate the other party, then this person would have taken Luo Chengfeng away already. He wouldn't have been so polite with him at all.
He stepped to the side, reached out to pull out his sword, and put the blade back into the scabbard. He then pointed at the dispirited and almost unconscious Luo Chengfeng and woke him up.
Luo Chengfeng opened his eyes. Other than Zhang Yu, he also saw Bian Lan standing to the side. At the same time, a trace of unrealistic hope appeared in his heart. "Senior Martial Brother Bian?"
Bian Lan said with a sullen expression, "Since you still call me Senior Martial Brother and admit that you're Master's disciple, then in a moment, whatever Patrol Officer Zhang asks, you have to answer. You have to tell the truth about everything."
The trace of hope in Luo Chengfeng's heart was instantly extinguished. He leaned back dejectedly, and instantly became weak and powerless.
Zhang Yu looked down at him from above, and said, "Luo Chengfeng, I have evidence that twenty years ago, you and others besieged Patrol Officer Ding. Who were your accomplices? Who ordered you to do this? "
Luo Chengfeng leaned there and didn't make a sound.
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "Luo Chengfeng, you need to know that I'm asking you nicely right now. If you answer, you won't have to suffer any torture. However, you should also know that Xuanting has many remarkable Daoist techniques that can extract things from your memories. If that's the case, you won't be able to stay here unharmed."
Luo Chengfeng seemed to have thought of something, and his entire body trembled. After a while, he said with difficulty, "Yes, I was involved in the besieging of Patrol Officer Ding."
Zhang Yu: "Other than you, who else was involved?"
Luo Chengfeng hesitated, and said, "At that time, there were many people besieging him. Many of them were Shangchen cultivators that I didn't know. Also, there was a Senior Martial Brother from the same sect …"
When Bian Lan heard the words "Shangchen cultivators," he knew that Zhang Yu didn't find the wrong person. His heart was instantly filled with anger and disappointment. When he heard that there was a Senior Martial Brother involved, he couldn't help but shout, "Who? Who? "
Luo Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, and didn't immediately answer.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, and didn't rush to ask. Instead, he asked what he thought was the most important question, "How did you defeat Patrol Officer Ding?"
As he said before, Ding Xuanping was only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage, and with his ability, he wasn't afraid of being besieged at all. Then how did Luo Chengfeng and the others defeat him?
After all, it was almost impossible to capture someone like Ding Xuanping alive under normal circumstances.
Luo Chengfeng raised his head. At this moment, a trace of confusion suddenly appeared on his face. He seemed to be trying hard to recall something, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Speaking of this, he hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to hide it, but I really don't know how we won this battle. We originally thought that with so many people besieging him, it would be a sure thing, but this Patrol Officer Ding was really too powerful.
After he gradually adapted to our remarkable abilities, he quickly raised his sword a few times and killed several people in succession. At that time, the situation was reversed, and I thought that I would be dead for sure. But at this time, he seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to resist, and was inexplicably taken down by us. "
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. He could clearly tell that Luo Chengfeng was telling the truth at this moment, and since this person admitted that he was a member of the besieging, there was no point in hiding these details.
But this result instead made him deepen his original judgment.
Even though he didn't have any direct evidence.
He thought for a moment again, and looked at Luo Chengfeng, and said, "Who is the senior brother of the same sect that you speak of?"
Bian Lan also stared at him.
Luo Chengfeng was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "It's Senior Brother Chen …"
Bian Lan suddenly frowned, and said, "Which Senior Brother Chen?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "Chen Qiankun, Senior Brother Chen."
Bian Lan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Luo Chengfeng, you still won't tell the truth? Looks like we really need to ask Xuanting to send experts to interrogate you. "
Luo Chengfeng hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Bian, I'm telling the truth. When we participated in the besieging, it was Senior Brother Chen who led me there. Those Shangchen people were also found by Senior Brother Chen, and everything after that was also done according to Senior Brother Chen's instructions."
Bian Lan firmly denied, "That's absolutely impossible!"
Zhang Yu looked at Bian Lan, and said, "Why is Fellow Bian so sure that this is impossible?"
Bian Lan took a breath, and said, "Because Senior Brother Chen Qiankun died in battle thirty years ago, and Master has always felt that it was a pity. Also, this is something that some of the fellow disciples who have been in the sect for a long time know. If the Patrol Protector doesn't believe me, you can ask them to come over and find out."
"Senior Brother Chen is dead?"
Luo Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he said loudly, "That's impossible, I just saw Senior Brother Chen!"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. In the document that the Military Affairs Department gave him, the description of Yu Xuanzun's eldest disciple and second disciple was the least. Other than the picture of the picture, there were only a few sentences, and there was no mention of this at all.
However, this was not strange. Some of Xuan Zun's direct disciples rarely divulged specific details to outsiders. It was already considered good that the Military Affairs Department had a picture of it.
He thought for a moment, and said, "You said you saw Chen Qiankun just now, did you see him in Heaven City?"
Luo Chengfeng said with absolute certainty, "Yes, he gave me a bamboo token as a token." He reached out and groped around, but then his expression froze, for he found that the bamboo token had disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yu said, "Since you saw Chen Qiankun in Heaven City, then bring us to see him now."
Luo Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yu immediately grabbed him, and then flew back to Heaven City. Bian Lan also frowned and followed.
Under Luo Chengfeng's guidance, the three of them quickly arrived at a large platform that faced the void.
Luo Chengfeng said, "It's here …"
But then his expression froze, because this was an empty platform, and it looked like it was covered in a thick layer of dust. It looked like no one had been here for a long time.
Bian Lan snorted, but he did not scold Luo Chengfeng. Instead, he discussed with Zhang Yu telepathically, and then walked out. After a while, he turned back and brought the Taoist priest with him, and said, "I've asked the guards of Heaven City, no one has lived in this empty space for more than ten years."
He said to the Taoist priest, "Junior Brother Wei, you tell them."
Taoist Wei said to Zhang Yu, "If you ask Senior Brother Chen, I don't know if he's really dead, but I've never seen him in more than thirty years. In Heaven City, the other disciples have also never heard of or seen him."
Luo Chengfeng's face suddenly turned pale. If Chen Qiankun did not exist, then who was the person who had been giving him orders in Heaven City?
