How could she possibly fall into the same trap again?
Ling Luo's eyes were filled with laughter. She even turned her head to look at Rong Xian and the Great Elder beside her. When she spoke, her words were full of mockery: "No, it's me."
He spoke word by word, and nothing happened.
"Impossible!" Rong Xian's face flushed. "Absolutely impossible! You clearly killed Jin Yuan! I saw it!"
"Are you questioning Sanjian?" Mu Hengtian looked at her coldly, "Since Sanjian didn't react, it means Lingluo didn't lie and she didn't kill him."
"Master! Elder! I am not lying, it is really her!" Rong Xian hurried to see the great elder beside him.
Mu Hengtian was looking at him, and Master Fan was also looking at him.
Everyone in Dongdao Tianji was looking at him.
Yun Shouxi stood in front of Ling Luo, his expression indifferent, but his position and attitude were obvious.
There is absolutely no benefit to be gained by the Xiaoyao Sect making enemies with Dongdao Tianji.
The Great Elder gritted his teeth and said, "So what if she dared to attack my disciple in front of you just now?"
Mu Hengtian said: "You have no respect for your elders and acted without authorization. You should be punished."
He glanced at Yun Shouxi and said, "Take her to the Black Water Cave and torture her with water for fifteen days."
The result of Sanjian's interrogation was different, but the punishment was the same as before.
It's just that the thirty days became the fifteenth day.
The leader really hates her.
Lingluo sneered in her heart and let the people from the Discipline Hall take her away.
Yun Shouxi said, "The results of the interrogation of the three secrets have come out, and the question of the great elder just now has been solved. If everything is fine, please go back early, so as not to delay the disciples' training and the time to find the real murderer."
He rudely drove people down the mountain.
Although the Great Elder felt resentful, he did not dare to express it in front of Yun Shouxi.
His face was dark, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you for bothering me today. We will leave now. Goodbye."
Mu Hengtian said a few polite words and led everyone away.
Mu Ya followed beside him, but glanced in the direction where Ling Luo was taken away. She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of slight gloating.
"Xiao Ya." The father who was walking beside her suddenly asked, "Did you notice when she used the Yingxi Seed Spirit just now?"
Mu Ya was stunned by the question, frowned, and replied reluctantly: "No."
"This person's talent is superior to yours." Mu Hengtian said.
Mu Ya felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this and snorted coldly.
Mu Hengtian walked with her in the night and whispered, "When I heard the hall masters and disciples talking about her before, I thought she was just more attentive than the previous two disciples. But today, I see that Lingluo is indeed different. With her qualifications, in two years, she will be unrivaled under the elders."
"Dad, is it normal for you to praise others in front of your daughter like this?" Mu Ya said dissatisfiedly.
Mu Hengtian smiled dotingly, "Dad is just reminding you, either you surpass her, or you let her serve you. In the future, the entire East Island Tianji will be yours, and your peers or senior brothers and sisters will become your left and right arms."
Mu Ya nodded slightly and said proudly: "Don't worry, Dad, I won't lose to a country girl like her."
Mu Hengtian nodded, but looked in the direction of the Black Water Cave.
Song Yuanyuan waited outside the Discipline Hall, but she didn't see Lingluo until her master came out.
Master Fan asked him, "What are you doing here?"
"Master, where is Lingluo?" Song Yuanyuan asked cautiously.
Master Fan handed him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "No need to wait. She went to the Black Water Cave and can only come out after 15 days of punishment."
"Ah?" Song Yuanyuan was stunned. "Why? What did she do wrong to be punished by water torture?"
Master Fan shook his head without answering, and walked past him and said, "Let's go."
Song Yuanyuan chased after him and mustered up the courage to ask her master, but still couldn't get an answer.
Finally, he sent a message via Yuting to Chang Fei who was at the foot of the outer gate mountain, informing him that Lingluo had been punished.
At first they didn't know why, but later they found that the disciples in the Yu Ting Hall were discussing this matter:
"I saw people from Xiaoyao Sect coming. The granddaughter of the Xiaoyao Sect's great elder was murdered, and they came to our Tianji to look for the murderer!"
"There have been rumors for a long time that Xiaoyao Sect is looking for the murderer, but what does it have to do with us?"
"It is said that the murderer sneaked into Tianji and is a disciple of Tianji."
"No way! Xiaoyao Sect is taking this opportunity to cause trouble?"
"The head and the third head went to the Discipline Hall at night. I also saw Master Fan bring Lingluo in..."
"According to an insider, a certain genius junior sister is the murderer that Xiaoyao Sect is looking for."
"Now this junior sister has been imprisoned in the Black Water Cave as punishment."
"Huh? Is she the murderer?"
"If you're not a murderer, why would you be imprisoned in the Black Water Cave as punishment?"
“…”
The news that Ling Luo was punished for killing the granddaughter of the Xiaoyao Sect's great elder spread quietly among the Tianji disciples. Before the night was over, everyone knew about it.
Song Yuanyuan was stunned and asked Master Fan: "Master...is it really Lingluo?"
Master Fan then said, "I used the three seals, and she said no."
"Since she didn't kill him, why should she be punished?" Song Yuanyuan couldn't understand.
Master Fan smiled and held the teacup in his hand, saying, "You are disrespectful to your elders and act without authorization."
"Besides, this is a punishment from the headmaster."
It wasn't me who punished you.
When Lingluo was sent to the Black Water Cave, she took off her white and gold embroidered uniform and her Yingxi was also confiscated.
The sky is full of twinkling stars, and the moon is hard to see.
The Black Water Cave is located behind the valley of the Saha Realm. When the wind blows, you can hear a strange whimpering sound, and the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees rustle.
A holy bird stood on the top of the tree canopy, gracefully preening its wings.
Lingluo glanced at it when she entered, a smile flashing across her eyes.
It was pitch black inside the cave. The deeper you went, the more sparks you could see. The deepest part of the cave was a very large cold pond. A small circle of the cave roof was smashed into pieces, and the sun, moon, and stars fell from the sky into the center of the cold pond.
The water surface is full of beautiful water lilies.
Lingluo was escorted into the cold pond. The water was deep and bone-chilling, causing her calves to tremble. After being injured by the Soul-Binding Whip, she was already suffering from cold injuries, and now she fell into this cold pond, which was simply adding insult to injury.
She bit her lip and said nothing.
After entering the water, my hands and feet were entangled and locked with iron chains in the water.
"After the fifteenth day of imprisonment, this divine lock will open by itself."
These were the last words spoken by the people from the Discipline Hall before they left.
Ling Luo raised her hand and looked at the thin, snow-white chain on her wrist. There was a stream of water flowing through it. It was soft yet tough, and nothing in the world could cut it off.
She looked down at the water again.
The lotus leaves around her are emerald green and the water is clear. After a while, this magic lock will pull her under the mud at the bottom of the water and into endless darkness. She will not be able to see anything and can only feel the mud and water flowing slowly in her body. She will not be able to make a sound and will drown and suffocate, repeatedly experiencing the brink of life and death.
That's fine, but you can smell the stench of mud in the darkness, feel it blending into your bones and blood, disturbing your spiritual veins and causing you to suffer from cold and cramps.
You feel your body being crushed and turned into a pool of smelly mud, but you can't stop it.
This is one of the four major tortures in the Discipline Hall, water torture.
Lingluo sighed softly and sank a little into the water, leaving only her head exposed, her long hair gently spreading out in the water.
What’s the point of changing yourself?
Others won't.
She used the forbidden symbiotic spirit to divert Sanjian's cognition and avoided its questioning, but still could not escape being punished by water torture.
Even if Mu Hengtian knew that she was not the one who killed the person, he was unwilling to show mercy to her.
After she was reborn, she considered today's interrogation and began to practice the art of symbiotic spirits.
Symbiotic spirits can control the five senses of other living things, and they can be shared or exchanged with each other.
All she had to do was to replace the symbiotic creature she controlled with one that was faster than Sanjian's when Sanjian was interrogating her, so that Sanjian could make a judgment.
When she answered no, it turned out that Sanjian had trapped the Holy Spirit Bird which was controlled by the symbiotic spirit. The Holy Spirit Bird did not kill Jinyuan, so naturally nothing happened.
This is a very bold move.
Because it is to be used under the noses of Yun Shouxi and Mu Hengtian, the top figures in the current world of immortal cultivation.
Not to mention that Yun Shouxi was still paying full attention to her at that time.
But Lingluo still did it.
Her attainments in the art of symbiotic spirits have long surpassed Yun Shouxi's.
It’s just that you can’t practice in the Qingshifang during normal times.
Because the barrier of Qingshifang blocked any of Tianji's holy spirit birds from entering.
Yun Shouxi seems to hate this bird.
So she secretly left Qingshifang to practice, and had to be careful not to be discovered by Yun Shouxi, so that today, when Master Fan used the Three Seals to interrogate her again, she could perfectly avoid the ability of the Three Seals.
After all, with her current physical condition and strength, she doesn't want to be waterboarded again.
But Mu Hengtian wouldn't let her go.
The wound on her back from the Soul Binding Whip twitched, and she gasped in pain. At the same time, the Divine Chains rioted and quickly pulled her into the water.
Lingluo sank down and was submerged in the endless dark mud.
Water and mud were poured into her nasal cavity, her internal organs were twitching, and the cold and damp air was running rampant through every part of her body. The pain was so severe that she couldn't help but open her mouth but no sound came out.
Despite this, her right hand was pinching a spiritual spell.
The Holy Spirit Bird on the top of the tree outside the Black Water Cave combed its feathers and spread its wings and flew away.
It flew through the inner gate, to the outer gate, and then down the mountain. It saw the vast ocean and the city with long lights. After traveling like this, it came to an inn.
The people from Xiaoyao Sect left Tianji at a very fast speed.
The Great Elder was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would not be able to resist rushing in and killing Ling Luo.
Rong Xian followed the elder upstairs, still mumbling: "It was really her, I didn't lie! I came back with Jin Yuan that day, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Since they came back together, why did she only kill Jinyuan but not you?" the Great Elder asked in a deep voice.
Rong Xian shrank his neck and said, "It was raining at that time. I went to get an umbrella for Jinyuan, and when I came back I saw..."
The Great Elder had a cold face and slammed the door before entering the room.
Rong Xian, who was locked outside, frowned. The senior brother beside him patted his shoulder and said, "Go to sleep. This matter has been decided. Don't think too much about it."
Rong Xian was unconvinced and said, "Just because she is the disciple of True Lord Sanxi, can we let it go? A life for a life! Oh, and her sister, Lingluo cares so much about Yuzhi, we can just say that we found Yuzhi's body, she will definitely not dare to lie for Yuzhi's sake!"
"Come on, Rong Xian, where are we going to find the body?" The brothers were a little impatient and pushed him away and left.
Rong Xian, with a look of reluctance on his face, pushed the door open and entered the house, only to find that the window was open and the cold wind was blowing in at night.
He walked over and was about to close the window when he suddenly saw a beam of blue light quickly passing by and hit him, scaring him so much that he fell backwards.
"Ouch——" Rong Xian felt someone bite his neck, a sharp pain. He reached out to touch it, but there was no blood.
"What?"
He muttered to himself, and when he looked up, he saw a blue Holy Spirit bird standing on the window sill, tilting its head and looking at him.
Seeing that it was Tianji's Holy Spirit Bird, Rong Xian was furious and immediately stood up and waved at it: "Get lost! I'm annoyed when I see you! Get lost!"
He chased the Holy Spirit Bird away and slammed the window shut.
When Rong Xian turned sideways, a black curse mark flashed across his neck.
The Holy Spirit Bird flew into the air, cried out, and fell to the ground, vomiting blood and dying.
Lingluo lost contact with it and was immersed in the dark mud. Her body was crushed, but she smiled at an inappropriate time.
