Luo Chengfeng hurriedly recalled the scenes of his interactions with Chen Qianding.
He suddenly remembered that every time Chen Qianding met with him, he was not alone. There was usually a disciple by his side. Sometimes it was that disciple who came to call him, but he could not recall that disciple's face no matter how hard he tried.
For a cultivator with an almost photographic memory, this was an abnormal situation in itself.
Then he discovered to his horror that he did not know if it was because he was passive or active, but he instinctively hid everything about Chen Qianding.
In other words, he had never mentioned or mentioned anything about Qian Kun Ding to anyone else.
He said with difficulty, "Senior Brother Bian, Governor Zhang, what I said just now was not false. I did not deceive you."
Bian Lan looked at him, then said to Daoist Wei in a low voice, "Junior Brother Wei, you can go back first. Remember not to tell anyone what happened here."
Daoist Wei said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I know what to do." He bowed to Bian Lan, then to Zhang Yu, then turned and left.
Bian Lan said to Zhang Yu, "Governor Zhang, since Junior Brother Luo has already admitted his guilt, there is no need for him to deliberately deceive you and me on this matter."
Zhang Yu said, "I know that he can't do this alone. It's just that it's hard to say whether what he saw was true or false."
He analyzed in his heart. There were roughly three possibilities here. One was that Chen Qianding was one of Xuan Zun's disciples in disguise.
There was a certain possibility. After all, Yu Xuanzun would not always come to see what his disciples were doing. However, there were actually some contradictions here.
One was that the other party was a cultivator from Shangchen. He used some method to hide in Heaven City and fake his identity, using magic to deceive Luo Chengfeng.
But because Heaven City was right under Yu Xuanzun's nose, no matter how good that person was, there was no way he could hide from Xuan Zun. Unless …
As for the third possibility, it was even more difficult to think about it now.
However, from this, it was no wonder that the other party was at ease in releasing Luo Chengfeng instead of silencing him. After all, even if Luo Chengfeng had confessed everything, it was impossible for them to not be able to capture him.
At this time, Bian Lan asked Luo Chengfeng a few more questions about the details of that "Chen Qianding." However, what surprised him was that what Luo Chengfeng said was completely consistent with the person in his memory. This made him even more furious.
He said, "From the looks of it, there must be someone who is familiar with Junior Apprentice-Brother Chen who has been impersonating him in Heaven City and deceiving Junior Apprentice-Brother Luo. This person might even have the ability to distort reality and alter one's memories."
He was also trying to figure out who this person was. However, no matter how he thought about it, there seemed to be many people who were suspicious, but none of them seemed to be suspicious.
At this moment, Zhang Yu said, "Luo Chengfeng, when was the first time you met this' Chen Qianding '?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "I entered the sect thirty years ago. At that time, I already knew Master Chen …"
At this point, he unconsciously paused for a moment. If Bian Lan was right, Chen Qianding happened to die in the war thirty years ago. In other words, he had actually been dealing with an illusory or non-existent person all this time?
Even though he was a Daoist cultivator, at this moment, he felt his scalp tingle.
Zhang Yu ignored his emotions and continued to ask, "When did you know that this person was in cahoots with Shangchen cultivators?"
Luo Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "That was more than twenty years ago. Master Chen … Chen Qianding took the initiative to tell me about him and Shangchen cultivators. He said that he had some dealings with these people.
At that time, I was very shocked and uneasy, but he said that there was no need to worry about this. Shangchen Daoist cultivators are also Daoist cultivators. Moreover, if I was willing to help him, he had a way to help me achieve Xuan Zun … "
Bian Lan snorted and said, "It's obvious that you're just making empty promises."
Luo Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Martial Brother Bian, I naturally didn't believe this either. However, since Senior Martial Brother Chen told me about this matter, I knew that if I refused, it would be difficult to protect my life. Therefore, at that time, I could only agree."
Bian Lan said resentfully, "Could it be that you won't tell Shizun later?"
Luo Chengfeng didn't say anything else.
At first, he was indeed unwilling and very afraid. Moreover, he also had the thought of telling his master.
However, every time this thought arose, he would always have a strong sense of fear, as if something bad would happen. Therefore, he didn't dare to do so.
Later, as time passed, he did more and more things for Chen Qianding. At that time, he couldn't get away, so he could only continue down this path.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "That giant ship that crashed in the Northern Lands, and that Pei Yue, what's going on?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "Although Pei Yue is also a Shangchen cultivator, it's said that he defected from there and came here. This person isn't on the same side as the Shangchen cultivators we usually contact.
At that time, it seemed that Chen Qianding thought that this person had other uses, so he took him in.
However, later on, I vaguely understood that this person seemed to have stolen something from his sect, so he was chased all the way. Later on, he changed his appearance and hid in Tanquan until news of the giant ship leaked out. This person refused our help and went to deal with this matter alone. Unexpectedly, not only did he not succeed, he even leaked his whereabouts.
Chen Qianding was afraid that this matter would leak out. Not only would it affect him, he was also afraid that the Shangchen cultivators would find out. Therefore, he wanted to use the Shangchen cultivators on Frost Star to solve this matter … "
At this time, Bian Lan couldn't help but say, "Senior Martial Brother Chen died long ago. That person isn't Senior Martial Brother Chen. Don't use his name anymore."
Luo Chengfeng hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."
Zhang Yu didn't comment on this. He continued to ask, "Those Shangchen cultivators once set up great formations on Frost Star and other Earthly Stars. Do you know what they were used for?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "I don't know. Chen … that person never told me these things. I was just following his orders. "
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "You just said that he gave you a keepsake?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "He gave me a bamboo token and told me to use it as a keepsake to seek refuge with the people of Shangchen. However, I can't find it now."
Bian Lan frowned. "Bamboo token …"
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Bian, did you think of something?"
Bian Lan snorted and said, "When Junior Martial Brother Chen was alive, he liked to fiddle with bamboo tokens and use them to develop formations. I didn't expect that person to impersonate Junior Martial Brother Chen and even pretend to have this hobby …"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. From his question just now, it was obvious that Luo Chengfeng didn't know what kind of person Chen Qianding was in the past. Other than Luo Chengfeng, no one else in the inner circle knew about the existence of this' Chen Qianding '. It was unnecessary for Luo Chengfeng to deliberately bring up this hobby.
After thinking about it, he said, "Luo Chengfeng, then where were you planning to go just now?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "There's a desolate little star near 'Lin Xing'. There's a Shangchen Celestial cultivator who left a meeting place there. In the past, when I passed on a message, I would usually leave a letter there. After a period of time, this person would come to collect it. This time, I'm preparing to go there first."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Luo Chengfeng, take me there."
Luo Chengfeng didn't dare to disobey. He said, "Yes."
At this time, Bian Lan said, "If Patrol Officer Zhang trusts me, I'm willing to go with you."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and nodded.
Bian Lan said, "I'll go prepare the airship now." With that, he strode away.
Zhang Yu walked around the large platform a few times. After a while, he asked, "Luo Chengfeng, there seem to be quite a few people in the Military Affairs Department who are your people?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "Some of them are people I've bribed over the years under that person's orders. However, their positions aren't high. There are also some who seem to be that person's people. Whenever I go to them, they'll definitely listen to me."
Zhang Yu nodded and continued to ask about other matters, including the people involved in this matter and the details of his interactions with Chen Qianding.
After about half an hour, Bian Lan came back and said, "Patrol Officer Zhang, the airship is ready. Please board it."
Zhang Yu nodded and brought Luo Chengfeng outside. They boarded the flying boat that Bian Lan had prepared for them at the Boating Boat Rooftop in Heaven City.
Bian Lan personally stepped forward to steer the airship. The airship quickly flew out of Heaven City and headed towards Planet Lin.
Planet Lin was only two days away from Kui Mansion. The airship that Bian Lan had chosen was extremely fast. In just over a day, they arrived near Planet Lin.
Zhang Yu didn't make a sound along the way. He had a thought in his mind. Did the other party deliberately release Luo Chengfeng to lure him into the void?
However, he wasn't afraid of the other party making a move. He was afraid that the other party would hide and not come out.
But until now, everything had been calm.
After Luo Chengfeng arrived, he identified the place and pointed to a desolate planet. "Patrol Officer Zhang, Senior Brother Bian, it's there."
Bian Lan's expression turned serious. He steered the airship in that direction and then slowly stopped on the small planet.
After the three of them got off the airship, Luo Chengfeng led the way. Soon, they arrived at a hidden underground cave. Besides a shrine platform, there was nothing else.
Luo Chengfeng said, "Usually, we place the letter on the shrine platform and someone will come to take it."
Bian Lan stepped forward and looked. "This thing doesn't seem to be an ordinary shrine platform. It can guide the energy of the earth. It seems that it uses the energy of the earth to trigger the mysterious message."
Zhang Yu said to Luo Chengfeng, "You said that person gave you a bamboo token?"
Luo Chengfeng said, "Yes, but it disappeared without a trace."
Zhang Yu said to him, "Take a look again."
Luo Chengfeng was stunned. He reached into his sleeve and his body suddenly stiffened. He slowly took out his hand. There was a bamboo token in his hand.
He said with difficulty, "This, this clearly wasn't here …"
Bian Lan frowned. He seemed to have thought of something.
Zhang Yu said, "Put it on top."
Luo Chengfeng didn't dare to disobey. He took two steps forward and placed the bamboo token on top. After a while, it flashed and a light seemed to shoot out. Then, there was no movement.
Bian Lan said, "Patrol Officer Zhang, what should we do?"
Zhang Yu looked outside. "We'll wait here."
