Chapter 462: The Martial Arts Hall is on trial

The last time he was investigated by Tianji Hall for the green ox pulling a cart incident was still vivid in his mind. This time, Li Fan came to the central core area of ​​Wanxian Island again.

After passing the Strategy Hall and continuing inside, Li Fan stopped in front of a building with a stone tablet with the word "Wu" engraved on it standing at the door.

The moment he saw these words, Li Fan felt a solemn and depressing atmosphere enveloping him.

Several phantoms seemed to appear before my eyes, and the next moment it seemed as if I would be attacked by swords.

"It's a good word, but it's still a little bit lacking in flavor compared to the stone with the word 'chaos' that I saw before."

Suppressing the instinctive urge to fight back, Li Fan looked at it carefully for a long time and thought to himself.

His expression became serious, and he strode into the martial arts hall without changing his expression.

The Strategy Hall that Li Fan was more familiar with was filled with multiple overlapping spaces that could be accessed through teleportation arrays. The main landscape of the Martial Arts Hall was composed of many huge rocks floating in the air.

The rugged rocks are scattered in the space like stars in the sky.

At first glance, each stone has a different shape.

Some are like humans or animals, and some are like mountains and look like water.

On top of the boulder, you can vaguely see buildings, plants, and human figures flying by from time to time.

However, the flying rock where Li Fan was standing at this moment was extremely special.

It's completely bald and smooth like a mirror.

There were faint rays of light flowing under the stone surface. The moment Li Fan stepped onto the boulder, a formation was activated, and he felt himself being uncontrollably transferred to the center of the flying stone.

An inexplicable energy emerged from under his feet, like an invisible shackle that bound him tightly.

At the same time, Li Fan looked up and saw that the flying rocks around him, like stars, also underwent inexplicable changes accordingly.

Originally, the place where Li Fan was located was an inconspicuous corner in the sea of ​​stars.

But when he was imprisoned, the scenery in the sky changed, just like the movement of stars.

In an instant, Li Fan seemed to have arrived at the center of the sea of ​​stars and became the absolute focus of this space.

Li Fan even felt that at that moment, countless gazes hidden behind the huge rocks were all falling on him.

Truly the center of attention!

Every glance was as heavy as a mountain. If it was a cultivator who had never seen the world or had poor psychological endurance, his knees would probably go weak and he would collapse to the ground on the spot.

But Li Fan was calm and composed, with no expression on his face.

After a moment of confrontation, a solemn voice rumbled from the sea of ​​stone and continued to echo.

"Soldier Li Fan, due to the [Abnormal Price of Puxian True Leaves] incident, I am now summoning you to come here for investigation."

"This investigation is led by Cong Yunhai Martial Arts Hall, with the cooperation of Cong Yunhai Tianji Hall and Buzheng Hall."

"Because this incident has a huge impact and is extremely serious, the Immortal Alliance Headquarters will send a special envoy to supervise the entire process."

"Adhering to the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, this investigation process will not be kept confidential and will be supervised by all members of the Immortal Alliance."

…

After a long, scripted opening speech, the loud voice finally got to the point.

"Monk Li Fan, you can defend yourself during the investigation."

"But you need to be responsible for the truthfulness of every word you say. If you are found to have concealed or cheated, you will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances and the Immortal Alliance's rules."

Hongyin entered his mind and Li Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Now, I declare that the investigation officially begins."

"Please go to the martial arts hall, Jin Chongyun, and repeat what happened this time."

A bright light flashed, and a cultivator wearing the standard uniform of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Martial Arts Hall appeared out of thin air above the flying stone where Li Fan was.

Located above Li Fan, looking down from a high position.

But he looked up at the flying rocks in the sky and spoke.

"The abnormal fluctuation in the price of Puxian True Leaf this time originated from what this monk Li Fan said sixteen days ago."

"He used Jiao Xiuyuan's words to convey the message that the price of Samantabhadra leaves will skyrocket to the outside world, and then..."

Jin Chongyun briefly outlined the cause and effect of the incident, and as he spoke, pictures appeared on the sky curtain.

A diagram of the price fluctuation curve of Puxian True Leaf Grass, the situation of monks frantically buying it, and the countless monks who suffered losses after the Tianxuan Mirror Ding incident looked like they were hit hard.

"Also, we noticed that monk Li Fan had already purchased a large amount of stock before the price of Puxian True Leaves rose. He also sold them at a high point and made a lot of profit."

"In summary, we believe that monk Li Fan is suspected of spreading false information, taking advantage of the public's herd mentality to make huge profits, and maliciously undermining the stability of the Immortal Alliance." Jin Chongyun added.

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the martial arts hall.

Li Fan suddenly felt that the gazes falling on him became more serious.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would probably turn pale and confess without being asked.

Li Fan interrupted Jin Chongyun and said, "I have objections!"

"You said I spread false information? How can that be true? Yes, I made a little money from this incident..."

Ignoring the murderous intent in Daodao's eyes, Li Fan said to himself: "It's only natural for cultivators to pursue wealth, friends, and land. I have the ability to predict the future, so what's wrong with making a profit from it?"

"And the subsequent price trend of Puxian True Leaf is consistent with my prediction. Doesn't this just prove the accuracy of my deduction?" Li Fanyi said righteously.

There were whispers coming from the martial arts hall.

"Quiet!"

"Regarding whether it is legitimate to use the art of deduction to make a profit, I would like to invite Elder Gongsun Qixuan of Tianji Hall to speak."

With a flash of light, Jin Chongyun disappeared from everyone's sight.

Instead, there was a young scholar who looked to be only in his twenties.

Although he has a handsome appearance, his face looks listless.

"It's him..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes, looked at the other party and nodded.

This Gongsun Qixuan was exactly the cultivator he had met when he was being investigated by the Tianji Hall. The mysterious aura that this man inadvertently revealed left a deep impression on Li Fan.

Gongsun Qixuan also greeted Li Fan in a friendly manner, then coughed lightly and said slowly: "The views of our Tianji Hall have not changed."

"The results of the deduction can be used as a reference for future actions. If not, why was our Tianji Hall established?"

"Since we can all do this, there is no reason to prohibit the monks in the alliance from doing so."

Gongsun Qixuan's words were extremely pertinent.

Hearing this, Li Fan nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, he changed the subject and stared at Li Fan with sharp eyes.

"However, I doubt whether this fellow Daoist Li Fan really has the ability to deduce the future!"

"If the fact that [the price of Puxian True Leaf will skyrocket] was really deduced by him, we in Tianji Hall claim that he is not guilty."

"on the contrary……"

A cold light flashed in Gongsun Qixuan's eyes.

"If he made this up out of thin air."

"We recommend that he be sentenced to death."
