Wow!
Everyone looked at each other.
Why is the clan leader so kind to Jiang Deng? Could it be that... Jiang Deng is the clan's illegitimate daughter?
Thinking of this, everyone took a deep breath and regretted going against Jiang Deng.
Seeing that the situation was finally under control, Su Heng looked down at Zhan Ji in the center of the hall and said sternly, "What did you see the night Master Yunfeng was murdered? Tell the truth!"
Zhan Ji followed the story Jiang Deng had taught her long ago and sobbed, "Last night, when my husband and I were together, a man in black suddenly broke into the room. He was completely covered in black clothes, and I couldn't see his face clearly. I only knew that black energy was coming out of his hands."
"My husband fought him for only a few moves before he gouged out my heart with his bare hands. Not only did he kill my husband, he also took the storage bag tied around my husband's waist, saying it was a treasure that had finally been returned to its rightful owner, and then he fled..."
As soon as Zhan Ji finished speaking, the elders and stewards began to question, "If there really was a demon cultivator causing trouble, why didn't he kill you to silence you?"
"Right! Now that you're the only one left alive, you can say whatever you want. You're bullying Master Yunfeng, saying he's dead and can't talk. I don't think there's any demonic cultivator at all. It's clearly you who killed Master Yunfeng!"
Zhan Ji felt extremely aggrieved. "How could I possibly harm my husband? It was clearly my husband who had been protecting me, which is why I was able to escape harm. That person seemed to be in a hurry after killing my husband, and he didn't even care about me and just ran away..."
"What does a weak woman like me have to do with my husband's murder? Why do you always try to put the blame on me for my husband's death? It's so unreasonable!"
"Wuwuwu... Husband, why don't you take me with you? I'm left alone in this world to suffer. No one is willing to believe me except you, my husband! My poor husband!"
When she was sad, Zhan Ji lay on the ground, crying and pounding the ground hard, wishing she could die with her beloved husband.
But Zhan Ji was now a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, and she couldn't control her own strength. When she punched the ground, a big hole was created. The cracks in the floor tiles extended to the feet of the elders and stewards nearby.
This scene formed a strong contrast with Zhan Ji's delicate appearance, so much so that it was a little scary...
Seeing this, Jiang Deng, who was sitting on the high seat, had to use a lot of effort to hold back his laughter.
Zhan Ji's acting is amazing.
If she didn't know very well that Zhan Ji no longer cared about Yun Bozhong, she would probably think that Zhan Ji really missed Yun Bozhong and there was no trace of acting at all.
Even the sect leader Su Heng frowned slightly, and in his heart he began to believe what Zhan Ji said.
Before the sect meeting, he asked the ancestor about the murder of Yun Bozhong. The ancestor only said that the secret of the Taichu Sword Sect was concealed that night, and even he did not know the real murderer of Yun Bozhong.
Could it be that... what this woman said is the truth?
Some of the peak masters also believed what Zhan Ji said. Among them, the peak master Yan Zhen frowned slightly, feeling a little reluctant to see everyone making things difficult for a weak woman.
But His Highness and his men had different ideas, or they simply would not listen to any explanation from Zhan Ji, especially when they saw Zhan Ji's profound cultivation, driven by jealousy, they were even more unwilling to give up.
"Stop pretending, you devil! You must have colluded with the demonic cultivators from within and outside to kill Master Yunfeng! Otherwise, where did all this cultivation come from?"
"Yes! How do you explain your cultivation?"
Facing the accusations of the crowd, Zhan Ji wiped her non-existent tears with a handkerchief and said sadly, "My husband knew he was powerless to change the situation. He was worried that I would be bullied by others in the world, so before he died, he passed all his cultivation to me..."
"nonsense!"
The elders and stewards seemed to have grasped the handle in Zhan Ji's words and became even more excited. "What kind of skills can pass on one's life's cultivation to a mortal?"
"There is absolutely no way in the world of immortal cultivation that a technique could transform a mortal into a Nascent Soul Realm expert overnight. Such talk is simply ridiculous!"
…
There were so many doubts that even Su Heng cast a questioning look, "What kind of technique is this?"
Zhan Ji blinked in confusion and asked doubtfully, "My husband showed me that martial arts book, it seems to be called Bliss..."
“Cough cough cough!”
Su Heng coughed quickly, interrupting Zhan Ji's words. He had naturally heard of this technique.
He heard that the Domain Lord Murong Feiran was practicing the "Secret Scripture of Bliss", a technique that was extremely sinister and vicious. He knew that Yun Bozhong had connections with the Domain Lord, but he didn't expect that he would also practice this technique!
If this matter were to get out, it would be fine to ruin Yun Bozhong's reputation, but it would be a big deal if it implicated the Taichu Sword Sect!
Thinking of this, Su Heng immediately made a decision and said, "Last night, Yunfeng Master's direct disciple Ying Ziru also said that a Nascent Soul Realm demon cultivator had indeed intruded into Yunwu Peak. Furthermore, the Law Enforcement Hall's stewards have repeatedly checked and found that Yunfeng Master's fatal wound was contaminated with demonic energy. This is consistent with what this woman said. It seems that Yunfeng Master was indeed killed by an evil cultivator, and this woman had nothing to do with it."
Jiang Deng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
This isn't quite right. Judging from Su Heng's intention, he clearly wants to put the blame for Yun Bozhong's death on Zhan Ji, otherwise he wouldn't allow the elders and stewards under him to verbally attack Zhan Ji in various ways.
At this moment, Zhan Ji almost said the name of the technique, but Su Heng immediately suppressed it, putting an end to Yun Bozhong's death. It seems that he may also know the "Secret Scripture of Bliss".
Haha, if that's true, then Su Heng should also know that Yun Bozhong used Zhan Ji to practice evil skills during his lifetime.
