Chapter 206 Feng Jingxuan compromises to save his life and tells the truth

Upon hearing Ye Li's words, Chu Wei's expression turned solemn. "The Grand Elder took me to see the mark on Tian Shu Ling Zun's body. He did indeed die from the Xiaoyao Fa."

"Besides you, who else knows how to use the 'Free and Easy Way' technique?"

"And Master."

Chu Wei looked in Ye Li's direction, but he couldn't see her and his gaze was unfocused, yet his expression seemed meaningful.

Ye Li couldn't believe it. "You're not doubting me, are you?"

"I don't know the art of freedom, and besides, the Heavenly Pivot Spirit Lord has been dead for hundreds of years, before I was even born."

Hearing her explanation, a fleeting smile appeared in Chu Wei's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "By doing this, aren't you just admitting it? If you're going to hide it, you should at least do it better, Master."

Ye Li froze.

However, Chu Wei had already guessed most of it, so it didn't seem to matter whether she admitted it or not.

She only mumbled a reply before adding, "Since it's not you, and it's not... cough cough, then who else could have gotten away with this?"

Chu Wei was silent for a few seconds, then said, "There's someone else."

Ye Li pressed on, "Who?"

"Sect Master Ouyang."

Upon hearing this name, Ye Li felt a "boom" in her brain, as if something had been opened up, or as if something hidden had suddenly broken through the clouds and appeared before her.

If it is Sect Master Ouyang, then he does indeed have the ability to kill Heavenly Pivot Spirit Venerable.

Moreover, if it were him, those dark realms would make sense.

As the head of a sect, creating a dark realm here would be as easy as turning his hand.

"Why would Sect Master Ouyang do these things? He's already the sect master, why would he harm his subordinates?"

Hearing her tone of confirmation, Chu Wei was somewhat surprised. "I only said that Sect Master Ouyang might get away with it, I didn't say that he was the one who killed him. Why do you think that?"

Ye Li was slightly taken aback.

yes……

Why did she subconsciously feel that Sect Leader Ouyang had committed murder?

In Li Yuehua's memory, there was nothing suspicious about Ouyang.

On the contrary, as a half-immortal, he possesses the extraordinary qualities of an immortal and the compassion of a sect leader, so no matter who you suspect, you can't suspect him.

Chu Wei explained, "When Master was creating the Free and Unfettered Technique, he encountered a bottleneck, so he went to consult Sect Master Ouyang. If we're talking about the person who understands the Free and Unfettered Technique the most, besides Master and me, it would be Sect Master Ouyang."

So, Sect Master Ouyang only participated in the compilation of the Free and Unfettered Technique, and it cannot be proven that he practiced this technique.

Moreover, he is only one step away from achieving immortality and seeking enlightenment, so there is absolutely no need for him to cultivate another technique.

This alone is insufficient to convict him, much less exonerate Chu Wei…

-

On the way back, Ye Li kept thinking about this matter.

Suppose that Sect Master Ouyang killed Celestial Venerable Tian Shu.

So he was the one who commanded Feng Jingxuan, he is... Ghost Face?!

Ye Li was startled by her own guess.

How is that possible?

She had dealt with the masked man many times. The masked man was elusive and had a sinister and terrifying appearance. He had absolutely no connection with Sect Master Ouyang.

But besides Sect Master Ouyang, who else in this world could kill Heavenly Pivot Spirit Venerable so easily?

The clues are now intertwined like a tangled mess, making the situation increasingly complicated.

Coupled with the life-threatening situation Chu Wei was facing, she was no longer able to unravel the mystery step by step.

The only way to get to the bottom of things quickly is... to see for yourself!

Jinxiaomen

Looking at Feng Jingxuan's face in the mirror, Ye Li's eyes flashed with a cold light.

She is not the real Feng Jingxuan; given enough time, her true colors will inevitably be revealed.

Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the fact that the mastermind hasn't discovered Feng Jingxuan's death yet and find out his identity first!

But before that, she needed to learn more about Feng Jingxuan.

She took out the jar containing the Phoenix Mirror's Mystic Soul.

"Feng Jingxuan, I have something to ask you."

The jar remained completely silent.

Ye Li knew he could definitely hear her, and seeing that he was pretending to be dead, she immediately activated her spiritual power.

A cry of pain immediately rang out from inside.

"Stop!"

"Stop right now!"

Ye Li stopped when she heard Feng Jingxuan's voice. "How do you usually deal with the masked man?"

"..."

Practice makes perfect. Seeing that Feng Jingxuan remained silent, Ye Li went straight to the ice this time.

Even ordinary people would find it difficult to withstand the severe cold, let alone the soul, which is extremely vulnerable without the protection of the body. Before long, Feng Jingxuan could not withstand it.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

His teeth chattered from the cold. "If the sect leader summons me, the black mirror will react, and I will enter the dark realm to pay my respects."

Ye Li took out the black mirror she had picked up that day from her storage pouch; thankfully, she hadn't lost it.

"Then how do we open the dark realm?"

Perhaps fearing further torment, he was more agreeable this time, "The Dark Realm requires spiritual power to open, it's like this..."

Having explained the method to open the gate, Feng Jingxuan's tone was no longer as energetic as before. He said weakly, "I've said everything. Can you let me out now?"

"I can let you go, but only if you tell me who the masked man is."

"I don't know, I've never seen his face. He comes and goes without a trace, I can't even be sure if he's human."

Ye Li frowned. Feng Jingxuan had followed him for so long, yet he didn't even know who he was?

"So how did you help him with his business?"

"this……"

Sensing Feng Jingxuan's hesitation, Ye Li said coldly, "Feng Jingxuan, you are already dead. Even if I release you, your soul won't last long. If you can help me get rid of the masked man, then I can tell you the cultivation method so that you can preserve your soul."

The air was quiet.

It seemed that Feng Jingxuan was pondering this for a long time before he finally gave in.

"Your Excellency approached me after my failed breakthrough."

At that time, Feng Jingxuan was too aggressive, which not only caused him to fail to break through to the Golden Core stage, but also damaged his dantian, making it impossible for him to reach the peak of cultivation.

For a Taoist cultivator, this is undoubtedly a death sentence.

Just when he was feeling disheartened, the masked man appeared and changed his life.

Not only did it help him reach the pinnacle of his cultivation, but it also helped him eliminate dissidents and ascend to the position of sect leader.

From then on, he obeyed the masked man's every command.

After listening to Feng Jingxuan's words, Ye Li frowned slightly.

This masked man seems to be very good at manipulating people's emotions and desires.

That's how Master Qiu was back then, that's how Su Ying'er was, and that's how Feng Jingxuan was too.

"Do you know why he put my corpse inside the formation?"

Feng Jingxuan's tone was intriguing, "Do you know what that magic array does?"

Ye Li's heart tightened. "What?"

"It's for summoning souls and gathering spirits. As far as I know, that magic array has been in operation for a thousand years."

millennium……

Ye Li felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of those bloodied disciples.

Over the past thousand years, he has harmed countless disciples.

No, she's only been dead for less than a year, yet the formation has been operating for a thousand years. So, before her, who was the soul he summoned?!

"You probably already guessed it."

Feng Jingxuan's voice interrupted her thoughts, "You were resurrected by the formation."
