The little mirror suddenly lost its confidence when asked the question and answered without much assurance.

[There shouldn't be anyone who can hide my investigation, right? I was created by the combined efforts of the six Lords; I can investigate not only a person's past but also their future.]

So, in the end, you're just a magical artifact. It's normal for other magical artifacts to appear that can counter you!

[Should I restrain myself?]

The little mirror screamed loudly within Fang Ruotang's sea of ​​consciousness.

Why are you restraining me? Are you trying to kill me? And is restraining me just a way to deceive me? This isn't right, this is very wrong. I must find out who's behind this.

Before Fang Ruotang could say anything, Xiao Jingzi looked like she was about to go crazy.

Fang Ruotang didn't intentionally reveal her true feelings at this moment, so Fang Wantang had no idea what she and Xiao Jingzi had said. She only saw that someone was making things difficult for Fang Ruotang, and it was because of her.

"I found it. Whether you believe it or not, I found it. If I really killed someone to steal it, why would I so openly take it out at a time like this? Wouldn't I be afraid you would seek revenge?"

Fang Shengtang frowned. This storage bag was a windfall for her and Yu Sheng. It was just like walking along the road, looking down, and picking up the storage bag.

But to everyone's surprise, there was a backup plan!

However, she knew Fang Ruotang well. Fang Ruotang always handled things in a simple and brutal way. Logically speaking, she should have taken out the recording stone and released it in public to slap Fang Ruotang in the face.

But after waiting for a while, Fang Ruotang still didn't make a move, just talking nonsense to someone unconsciously.

Fang Shengtang's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.

"Who knows if you're being too arrogant, or deliberately going against the grain? In any case, now that your senior sister's things are in your hands, how do you explain that?"

“I’ve already said it wasn’t me. Your eagerness to pin the blame on me makes me think it’s a trap you’ve set on purpose.”

Fang Shengtang simply followed suit and started making baseless accusations.

"How dare you slander me!"

"If you dare, why wouldn't I!"

Fang Shengtang was speechless. It was all just a mouth that spread rumors. It was as if anyone didn't have a mouth or couldn't speak. If the other party could speak, so could she.

"Keep your mouth shut! I'll send a message back to my sect to ask, and then I'll know the answer." Elder Tang naturally trusted his own sect's disciples, especially since the storage bags that Fang Ruotang and her sister were holding did indeed belong to their sect's disciples.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was both corrupt and brought disaster. However, Elder Tang was different from the disciples of the sect. He was the elder leading the team this time, and while waiting for the sect's disciples to leave the secret realm, he had some exchanges with other sects.

Therefore, although I thought that the fact that the Tianyi Sect Master was able to enter the secret realm this time was probably because her cultivation level was not high, I was surprised to find that the Tianyi Sect Master was a capable person! She was actually able to go to other sects as an honored elder in her capacity as sect master.

No one had done this before; she was the first, which inevitably attracted attention.

Elder Tang took out the communication stone, injected spiritual power into it to activate it, and quickly contacted the sect leader.

His figure appeared in the air, and there were several other people behind him.

Before Elder Tang could speak, the female cultivator who had been shouting the loudest earlier had already pushed her way to the front and excitedly shouted out.

"Sect Master, Senior Sister hasn't left the secret realm. Something might have happened to her, and her storage bag is in the hands of disciples from other sects."

"What? Something happened to Yin Yue?" The sect leader was shocked and immediately ordered, "Quickly, send someone to check if Yin Yue's life lamp is still there."

The only person Yingying could directly call "Senior Sister" was Yin Yue, who was also the daughter of the Supreme Elder. Although she was his disciple, her status was far superior to that of ordinary disciples.

After all, the Supreme Elder had already passed away, and on his deathbed, he was worried about his daughter. Their sect had promised to protect her well, and they couldn't let anything happen to her.

"Sect Master, Senior Sister Yin's life lamp has gone out."

"What? How is that possible?"

The sect leader's figure flickered in the illusory mirror, looking as if he couldn't accept it.

Then, the scene changed.

The sect leader personally went to check the life lamps of the sect's disciples.

The life lamp belonging to Yin Yue has been completely extinguished.

The sect leader was furious and shouted, "Who is it? Who is the disciple guarding the life lamp? Yin Yue is in trouble, why hasn't anyone reported it?"

The young disciple who was originally guarding the life lamp stepped forward tremblingly, his body covered in wounds.

The sect leader looked at him and asked, "And what's wrong with you?"

"This disciple lost a sparring match with other disciples and has been bedridden with serious injuries for the past two days!"

"..."

The sect leader glared fiercely at the other party.

It's also a feeling of disappointment that they haven't lived up to their potential.

There have been no major competitions among disciples in the sect these past few days, so the fact that he was beaten up like this can only mean that it was a private conflict between disciples.

"Alright, whatever the reason, you failed in your duty. You didn't report Yin Yue's accident immediately. Go to the Discipline Hall to be punished!"

"Your disciple obeys."

The junior disciple withdrew.

The sect leader immediately cast a spell to view the images of Yin Yue before her death.

The images played synchronously in the void, and Fang Ruotang could also see them. They were the same as what she saw in the small mirror: Yin Yue was killed by Fang Shengtang.

"Elder Tang, once you see this woman, quickly capture her and avenge Yin Yue."

Fang Shengtang could also see the image. She walked directly behind Elder Tang, and her face, as radiant as a rose, was seen by the sect leader and elders of the weapon refining sect.

"It's you!"

The people opposite him were furious, but Fang Shengtang remained very calm.

"Yes, it was me. Although I don't know why your investigation into the murderer has led you to me, I have to say that I didn't kill the person. I found that storage bag on the road. I have no reason to lie."

"You audacious brat, spouting nonsense! Are you implying that my sect's tracking techniques are flawed?" The sect leader laughed in anger.

This tracking technique isn't something his sect uses alone; almost every sect across the entire Cloud Deep Continent does it.

The footage clearly records the entire process of Fang Shengtang's murder, yet she now claims it has nothing to do with her. Who would believe that?

“It was wrong to begin with. My older sister said it had nothing to do with her, and that means it has nothing to do with her. Besides, what does my older sister want that she can't have? Why would she risk killing someone?”

Fang Ruotang stepped forward and stood beside Fang Shengtang, cleverly separating Fang Shengtang from Elder Tang.

She noticed that Elder Tang was channeling his spiritual energy into his hands, looking as if he was ready to ambush Fang Shengtang at any moment. Fang Ruotang naturally wouldn't let him succeed.

"Who are you? How dare you speak so arrogantly!"

The sect leader found Fang Ruotang's face somewhat familiar, but couldn't immediately recall who she was.

Fang Ruotang said, "Tianyi Sect Master Fang Ruotang, this is my older sister Fang Shengtang. I provide her with all the resources, so she doesn't lack these things at all, and there's no need for her to risk killing people for them. I've already seen the storage bags of your disciples, and there are even Heaven-rank defensive magic weapons inside. There's no way my older sister could kill her."
