Chapter 321 Justice for You
Jian Yue and the little boy looked at each other, and under the other's gaze, Jian Yue asked back: "I came down the mountain to investigate the affairs of the demon clan, so I naturally cannot use my spiritual power at will, lest the demon clan find out and easily alert them. But you, why are you here?"
This statement can be said to be a direct response.
The boy was stunned and had an embarrassed expression on his face. He said, "I was patrolling the mountain today and noticed something unusual here, so I came here."
Jian Yue frowned and asked, "Are you patrolling the mountain?"
Even if he didn't understand it very well, he knew that the disciples who guarded the mountain took turns, so how could it be his turn?
The boy nodded and said, "The master told me before he went into seclusion that there must be no mistakes in the disciple competition, so I have to patrol more often."
Jian Yue said, "So that's how it is. Do you see anything unusual here?"
The little boy quickly shook his head and said, "No, there was no one here when I came. Immortal Venerable, but has anything happened here?"
Jian Yue slowly shook his head and said, "No."
The little boy then said, "There seems to be a bloody smell on the Immortal Venerable's body. Is he injured?"
Jian Yue calmly shook his head and said, "I met a few injured disciples on the way here. I was stained with their blood in order to save them. It's okay."
The boy's eyes instantly showed some admiration, and he said: "The Immortal Venerable is righteous!"
Jian Yue waved his hand: "Leave this place as soon as possible. This is not a place for you to come. This disciple competition is originally the responsibility of me. You go back first."
The little boy then nodded and said, "Yes."
As soon as he left, Jian Yue narrowed his eyes as he looked at his back. This person was not the sect leader's child. He was almost 100% sure. First of all, the smell on his body was not right. The smell of that child was not as strong as this person's. This person had an indescribable stench. He should not be the child himself.
Jian Yue slowly walked to the place where the little boy had just stood and saw blood in the grass. He slowly bent down and wiped some blood with his fingers. It was fresh blood and should have been just recently. The little boy had just stood here, but he said he saw nothing.
Just when Jian Yue was about to leave.
The moonlight slowly emerged from behind the clouds. In the reflection of the moonlight, he saw a lit sign at the innermost part of the grass. He picked it up and saw the words carved on it.
Shu.
What's this?
While Jian Yue was thinking, the system panel popped up, and words lit up on the panel:
"【Forest Adventure】 has been completed
[Task Reward]: Token has been issued"
Oh, this is actually my task and I have completed it.
The system panel popped up again: "The current plot progress, [Find out the truth about the disciple's death] progress is 7%, please keep up the good work!"
It seems that this token is a very important clue for the entire mission. Jian Yue searched the original owner's memory and found that this token belonged to one of the branches of the demon clan. Could it be that the demon clan really did what happened just now?
Things seemed to suddenly become confusing.
In fact, when he first saw the little boy, Jian Yue suspected the master, but now that he really had the demon token, he was a little absent-minded, but he couldn't rule out whether it was an illusion.
Need to check again.
Jian Yue put the token away, and walked back by himself without the crane. When he got back, the sun was already high in the sky. Jian Yue threw himself on the bed to absorb the energy.
So tiring!
He slept until noon, and when he finally woke up, he heard a knock on the door.
The eldest disciple said outside: "Master, the disciple meeting is about to be held, why haven't you shown up yet?"
Jian Yue was about to get furious when he was woken up.
The eldest disciple asked, "Are you also in retreat?"
Jian Yue sat up and yawned, then said, "Master is seeking enlightenment."
The eldest disciple's face was full of admiration and even a little ashamed. It was all his fault. He disturbed his master. He really deserved to die!
After being woken up, Jian Yue felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw that it was still dark outside, he suddenly felt that being an Immortal Venerable was not something a human could do. Who would be a good person to hold a disciple competition before dawn!
However, the eldest disciple was still waiting outside, so Jian Yue got up anyway. After he finished, he found that the original owner had a treasure bag with some magic weapons in it, among which was a purification bead. The bead could make people clean all over. Jian Yue was very happy to get the bead. After all, he didn't have to wash himself. He just changed his clothes and went.
The original owner's aesthetic taste also made him feel inferior. It was all white. If you didn't know, you would think he could just wear mourning clothes.
"Master..." The eldest disciple wanted to knock on the door, but Jian Yue had already opened it. He looked down at him and said, "What's going on? Is there anything else?"
The eldest disciple said angrily, "Of course I have. I came here to tell Master that since the Sect Master is not here, you are here to supervise the exam. The other leaders are talking about you behind your back!"
Jian Yue was curious: "What are you talking about me?"
The eldest disciple said, "They are talking about you accepting gifts!"
Jian Yue: "... Ridiculous, how could I do such a thing?!"
The eldest disciple nodded and said, "I also know that with your status, it is absolutely impossible for you to do such a thing. I just didn't expect that there would be constant rumors. Some people even said that Master, your cultivation is not diligent and you have not been in the martial arts hall for many days. You must be greedy for those treasures!"
Yuyuantundui
Jian Yue said: "I have a clear conscience, you don't have to bother with them. Now that the competition is approaching, the most important thing is to prepare well."
The eldest disciple nodded quickly and said, "I understand, Master?"
Jian Yue said, "I'll be there soon."
As soon as the eldest disciple left, Jian Yue's face changed, because he really did not have any clear memories of the original owner. When he thought back, it seemed like a blank, but there was also a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"System." Jian Yue asked, "Excuse me, the original owner should not be greedy, right?"
The system pretended to be dead and silent.
After thinking for a moment.
Jian Yue's heart sank, and he subconsciously looked towards a room at the top of the mountain. There was a seal on the outside, and ordinary people could not get in. Jian Yue stood at the door and slowly opened it. Inside was a room full of gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of rare treasures. The original owner had collected everything he could!
Depend on!
He is really hungry!
At the same time, Jian Yue finally unlocked some of the plots of the original novel. In the original novel, the original owner was very scared because he had lost all his cultivation, so he collected so many treasures. This also led to the auditions for this disciple competition, and many disciples who should not have been selected were also admitted as exceptions.
Jian Yue: “…”
This is really a scam.
He closed the door and thought about what to do.
The eldest disciple's voice came again: "Master, why haven't you come yet? We are all waiting for you."
Jian Yue quickly replied: "Coming."
He rode on the crane and headed towards the place where the disciple competition was held. There were huge crowds of people here. This disciple competition required entering a fantasy world. The contestants who obtained the spiritual herbs in the fantasy world could stay. The place where the spiritual herbs grew was very steep, and there were also ferocious carnivorous plants. For these disciples, it could be said to be a very dangerous existence.
When Jian Yue arrived at the conference, there was a group of people sitting in the front row. These people looked unfamiliar and Jian Yue didn't know them at all. A seat at the front was reserved for him. When he passed by, a group of people stared at him. Jian Yue didn't want to care at first, but when he passed by one of them, he smelled the scent of that little boy last night.
It's the same flavor.
Jian Yue stopped and looked at the man. It was very likely that this man was a member of the demon clan and the holder of the missing token. He had to confirm whether the token was his.
"Immortal Yuehua." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I hope you are well. It has been decades since we last met. I am Jiang Cheng, the head of the Nanshan Sect. Do you remember me?"
Jian Yue said: "I hope you are well. Thank you for your concern."
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "That was back then. How could I not remember you at the Immortal Realm Competition? Humph, if you hadn't said that my disciple wouldn't make it past the preliminary round, he wouldn't have been eliminated in his first contest after years of training because of a lack of confidence. I will never forget such a thing!"
Jian Yue didn't expect this to happen!
Jiang Cheng looked at the crowd of people here. He had been waiting for a chance to take revenge. He suddenly shouted, "Everyone! Our Lingyun Sect's acting leader, Yuehua Xianzun, is a strange man. Don't be fooled by his righteous appearance. In fact, he would do anything against his conscience in private. I came here this time because I heard about some of his unbearable deals in private, and I want to expose him!"
Everyone was shocked.
I don't know why Jiang Cheng suddenly became so ugly.
Jiang Cheng looked back at Jian Yue and said with a smile: "Are you waiting for me to expose you, or do you say it yourself?"
Jian Yue and Jiang Cheng looked at each other. Jian Yue probably guessed that his eldest disciple's statement about him accepting gifts was full of rumors outside, so it seemed that Jiang Cheng was going to make things difficult for him here.
Jiang Cheng knew from Jian Yue's expression that he was guilty, and he sneered.
Jian Yue's safety value kept dropping, because he found that Jiang Cheng in the original novel did not choose to embarrass him in this disciple competition. He even dared to provoke him only in the later stage when Lingyun Peak had completely lost its power. There was no such thing in the original novel at all, so the question now is, why did he make things difficult for him in advance?
Thinking of this, Jian Yue's brain started working rapidly.
The system was still counting down the danger value, and Jiang Cheng was about to speak again.
suddenly--
A golden light flashed across:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Gossip: Jiang Cheng looks very orthodox. In fact, the reason why he is also resentful towards the original owner in this disciple competition is because his lover was eliminated in the preliminary round by the original owner because he did not bring a gift. Therefore, his resentment towards the original owner is even greater! ~! ]
【Cooling time 12 hours】
Jian Yue: “…”
Oh my god, there is such a layer in the middle!
He was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Cheng was even more stunned. Seeing Jian Yue staring at him blankly, Jiang Cheng's face turned black with anger. He took a deep breath and looked at Jian Yue and said, "Everyone, I still have evidence of his abuse of participating disciples. It is said that just two days ago, another disciple was sent to the cliff to be punished for bumping into him. His method was extremely cruel. I have found the person and I will bring him here now!"
then.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jian Yue saw a figure slowly walking up. That figure was wearing a rough cloth shirt but was still tall and slender. He still had some unhealed wounds on his body. His handsome and cold face looked very thin. Even though he was dressed so well that he could be hidden in the crowd, Jian Yue still recognized him at a glance, Xiaoyu.
The blood in his body froze instantly and his brain went blank for a moment.
Jiang Cheng next to him said proudly: "Come on, tell me whether this person gave the order. If you tell us, all of us here can do justice for you. Don't be afraid!"
