"...The fragments we saw during our soul search have proven his guilt. There is absolutely no misunderstanding. Now, we are executing him in front of all the disciples of the sect as a warning to others!"
As the magic weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Whip, was swung, Zhao Zhengqi, who was already unconscious, let out a tragic roar, and his entire body turned into a charred ball, and there was no sound anymore.
It was not known whether it was due to instinct or obsession, but before he died he moved his eyes with some effort, as if he was trying to find something, his eyes filled with unwillingness, anger and confusion.
Ning Chengfeng almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Others don't know, but he knows.
It was obvious that the person Zhao Zhengqi was looking for was himself.
Perhaps he didn't understand how he was exposed. He had planned everything well and thought he was being careful and cautious.
However, he was unexpectedly arrested for no apparent reason. After refusing to cooperate during the interrogation, his soul was searched and he was left with no room for maneuver.
But fortunately, it's all over.
Ning Chengfeng lowered his eyes, blocking several curious gazes, and then closed his eyes.
But a tear fell uncontrollably from the corner of her eye.
That elder who was like a teacher and a father, and the earnest care he had shown him after he joined the sect, made him develop a sense of belonging to the sect at the fastest speed.
But it was that person who was plotting to take his own life and wanted to replace him.
If it weren't for my younger sister's reminder and help along the way, how could everything be so simple?
Ning Chengfeng raised his head and found Ning Zhishui in the crowd, and she happened to be looking at him at that moment.
When their eyes met, they both nodded and smiled faintly.
After the matter was done, Ning Chengfeng sent Ning Zhishui out of the mountain gate.
"Tell me, Sect Master... has Master ever doubted me?" Ning Chengfeng asked on the way.
Everything that happened today was arranged by the two of them in advance.
Ning Zhishui needs to first find a disciple with a high enough status, and then have the disciple take her into the Zhengyang Sect. She will then beg the disciple to take her to find Ning Chengfeng.
Ning Zhishui will send a message to Ning Chengfeng after entering the mountain gate, and Ning Chengfeng will find an excuse to send Zhao Zhengqi away.
It doesn’t matter whether the trick is exposed or not, as long as the person can successfully leave. Even if Zhao Zhengqi realizes that he has been cheated, there is nothing he can do.
After that, Ning Chengfeng would take out the evil book "The Immortal in the Puppet" that Ning Zhishui bought on the black market in Luoyu City, wait for Ning Zhishui and others to break in and uncover it, and then put the blame for the book on Zhao Zhengqi.
With this lead, Zhao Zhengqi would be called in for questioning, but he himself did practice evil magic and could not withstand investigation at all.
In case there are Zhao Zhengqi's backers protecting him, Ning Zhishui himself has to come out and put pressure on him.
She is from the Xianlai Sect, and the status of the Grand Elder is too high to be ignored. The people from the Zhengyang Sect dare not do anything to her.
Things went more smoothly than expected. Ning Zhishui had never expected to meet Yu Wanfeng, and to be able to bring the sect leader's daughter Mingzhen on board through Yu Wanfeng.
It can be seen that Mingqi is definitely not the one who protects Zhao Zhengqi, and neither is Master Li of the Law Enforcement Hall, so things are going well and no accidents have occurred.
As for the art of suppressing words...even Hall Master Li probably couldn't have guessed that his second brother Ning Chengfeng was born with extraordinary spiritual awareness, and he also practiced the Tiangang Jue given to him by Ning Zhishui, so the art of suppressing words was completely ineffective against him.
This was also within Ning Zhishui's expectations.
There is only one flaw——
That book "The Immortal in Puppetry"!
When using soul search, Master Li would certainly not be able to find the relevant content of "The Immortal of Puppetry" in Zhao Zhengqi's memory, because this book was originally prepared by Ning Zhishui in order to frame him.
Ning Zhishui had been thinking about this as early as when she owned a black market stall in Luoyu City. What a coincidence, she actually found a copy.
Actually, this copy of "Puppet Immortal" was incomplete, with some parts missing from the back. But Ning Zhishui wasn't really going to practice it; she just wanted to use it as evidence to "harm" others, so even if it was incomplete, it didn't matter.
When I met Ning Chengfeng today, he was actually reading another book. Ning Zhishui took out this "Puppet Immortal" to replace it when he pretended to snatch the book from him.
Because the action was covert and happened in a blind spot behind him, Yu Wanfeng and the others did not notice anything.
But Master Li might have some doubts after searching the soul.
First, Zhao Zhengqi himself had no memory of this book. Second, evil books should be kept out of sight. He didn't put the book in his Qiankun bag before leaving, but placed it under the flower stand. This behavior was a bit unreasonable.
This is also the reason why Ning Chengfeng is worried.
Ning Zhishui smiled. "Master Ming may have had his suspicions, but since he didn't pursue the matter immediately, there's no way he'll pursue it later. The truth is, it was Zhao Zhengqi who practiced the evil technique, and it was Yu Wanfeng and Ming Zhen who exposed the matter. Zhao Zhengqi has already been executed, and you were forced to expose his crimes."
Not to mention that what is found in soul searching are only fragments, not a person's complete memories, so even if there is no book, what can it prove?
Even if we take a step back, even if we really have doubts, so what?
What did Ning Chengfeng do wrong?
Moreover, since Ming Qi accepted Ning Chengfeng as his apprentice, there must be a calculation behind this. He must have considered that Ning Zhishui was a disciple who was being trained as the focus of Xianlai Sect, and was also a weapon refiner who would have a place in the future.
So, no matter what the considerations were, the matter ended here. Once Zhao Zhengqi died, no one would mention it again.
Ning Chengfeng was very convinced by Ning Zhishui's words, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.
"It's finally over... I haven't had a single good night's sleep since I returned to the sect."
With Ning Zhishui's reminder, he carefully observed Zhao Zhengqi's every move, and then he had to believe it.
The kindness the other party showed him was like poison, it could be fatal!
In order to prevent him from getting suspicious, Ning Chengfeng pretended to be very hardworking and was always cautious in front of him.
At the same time, he was secretly practicing the Tiangang Jue, just to strengthen his spiritual awareness so that he could have more power to protect himself.
Now, everything is finally over, and he doesn't have to live in fear anymore.
"You still have to be careful. Observe your surroundings for the time being to see if Zhao Zhengqi has any accomplices," Ning Zhishui reminded. "Although the possibility is very small, if there really is an accomplice, Master Li would have discovered it during his soul search. But it's always better to be cautious."
After all, what if he really has an accomplice, but he missed it during the soul search?
Ning Chengfeng was shocked when he heard this. "That makes sense. I will be careful."
"Now that you have a new master, you should practice diligently in the next period of time and show your worth. Let him see your value." Ning Zhishui said with a smile, "I believe that soon, Master Ming will realize that you are actually a pleasant surprise."
