Chapter 37 Who did it?
Although Jiang Jiu also wanted to go and see what was going on, Yu Zimo stopped her.
"You stay here."
Yu Zimo said this and patted her shoulder.
"I'll go take a look and tell you what happens."
Jiang Jiu nodded blankly. Her strength was indeed not suitable for running around in the fairy world. It would be disastrous if her true cultivation level was exposed.
Anyone who can destroy the sacred laurel tree must be a very powerful person, and since we don’t know his purpose, no one can guarantee what he will do.
"good."
She nodded in agreement.
Yu Zimo flew out of the Xianyu Pavilion and headed towards the Moon Palace. Quite a few immortals had already gathered there, including quite a few gossipers in the immortal world.
Liu Bai was also among them.
"Hey, did you see what happened?"
He rubbed his way around and finally made his way from the back row to the front row. At that moment, the Moon Palace was also filled with people riding on clouds to eat the melons, surrounding the Moon Palace completely.
"No one has caught the rioter."
The person in the front row shook his head with regret in his eyes.
"I heard that the life force within the sacred laurel tree has been severed and disappeared. The Immortal Venerable is furious and has declared that he will definitely catch the murderer."
He continued to chatter on and on. By then, Ji Chen had already arrived at the Moon Palace and was standing next to the sacred laurel tree.
"Can you find out who did it?"
Ji Chen's originally cold face was now tinged with anger. He actually dared to destroy the sacred laurel tree so close to the Zixia Heavenly Palace. It was a challenge to his dignity.
"This...I can't tell which faction this is. He's very cautious."
The deacons of the Punishment Hall were covered in cold sweat, looking at each other and finally coming up with the answer of "I don't know".
Now, no one is not afraid of Immortal Master Ji Chen, except for the direct disciple of Xianyu Pavilion, Fairy Qingyuan.
You should know that he directly caused the death of the Immortal Master Ji Ling, and then he quelled the rebellion of the extraterritorial demons.
Although this was all thanks to Fairy Qingyuan, Ji Chen was Fairy Qingyuan's master. If he was unhappy, everyone would suffer.
Fairy Qingyuan will definitely take action.
"Who needs the tributary of life..."
Ji Chen looked at the sacred laurel tree with complicated eyes, turned his head and saw the sneaky Liu Bai, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
The marriage tree is also one of the tributaries of life. If that person still needs it, he will definitely take action against the marriage tree.
His gaze fell on Liu Bai, and for a moment Liu Bai broke out in a cold sweat and almost knelt down in front of the Immortal Master on the spot.
"Come here."
Ji Chen vaguely remembered that this God of Marriage seemed to be Jiang Jiu's friend, so he deliberately did not look at him with a terrifying expression, and forced himself to reveal a relatively gentle expression.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bai became even more frightened now. He swallowed his saliva, walked tremblingly to Ji Chen and started crying at the top of his lungs.
"I have absolutely nothing to do with this matter! I am a conscientious person and never leave my post without permission. Besides, I am weak..." It is absolutely impossible to destroy the sacred laurel tree.
Before Liu Bai finished speaking, Ji Chen's expression finally turned completely cold.
A frown appeared on his forehead, and his cold voice was tinged with impatience.
"I just want to ask you something."
Who can tell him why Jiang Jiu’s friend has such a personality and makes him have a headache because of all the quarrels?
"oh oh."
Liu Bai, who originally thought he was dead, immediately showed a servile expression when he heard Ji Chen say this.
"Ask me, ask me, I will tell you everything I know."
Liu Bai's expression changed so quickly that the immortals watching around him couldn't hold it in any longer.
"You are in charge of the marriage tree. Have any suspicious people appeared around it recently?"
According to normal people's logic, the murderer would definitely go to the marriage tree to spy out the situation. Ji Chen's idea was correct.
But he forgot.
We recently experienced a Qiqiao gathering, and many immortals approached the marriage tree.
"Ah, this... Apart from the day of the Qiqiao gathering, only Fairy Qingyuan has come to see me alone."
Liu Bai was very cautious. He didn't dare to lie to Ji Chen, but mentioning Fairy Qingyuan would also bring bad luck, so he started to panic again.
“....”
When Ji Chen heard this, he was silent for a moment, waved his hand and let Liu Bai go.
Liu Bairu was pardoned and rushed out of the crowd at a speed comparable to that of a missile.
The people in the Punishment Hall looked at each other, and they all knew that this matter would probably not be investigated further.
If it was really done by Fairy Qingyuan, their Immortal Lord would probably cut down the other marriage tree for her to play with.
If not, they would not be able to really ask Fairy Qingyuan directly, and they might be beaten to death by the Fairy.
They complained bitterly for a while. The investigation had to be carried out, but the key figures could not be questioned.
"It's not Xiao Jiuer. I've been with her all the time."
Yu Zimo, who was originally watching, finally stood up and said with his arms folded.
"I know."
Ji Chen had no intention of asking Jiang Jiu, or rather, he had not suspected Jiang Jiu at all.
"I just don't want her to be misunderstood."
Yu Zimo turned his head and scanned the entire audience. Although he was blindfolded, everyone felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
"Um."
Ji Chen didn't say anything. He turned around and spoke to everyone with a faint expression.
"The Punishment Hall will be responsible for investigating this matter. Now all the immortals will return to their positions."
This sentence is telling all the onlookers to quickly return to their posts and work, and not to slack off.
"Yes, Immortal Venerable."
The immortals lowered their heads and responded.
At this time, no one dared to offend Ji Chen, and they all left the Moon Palace. Only the Moon Goddess, Ji Chen, Yu Zimo, and the people from the Punishment Hall were left at the scene.
"The Moon God is responsible for protecting the Laurel Tree, but this situation has occurred. She should be punished according to the Heavenly Law, but you can now join the Punishment Hall as an investigator."
Ji Chen knew that Yue Shen was not derelict in her duty, but was just working according to the rules.
No one could have imagined that in just a few hours, the life stream would be stolen and the sacred tree would be broken and withered.
That person's strength is such that even if the Moon Goddess is here, it will be of no use.
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable!"
The Moon Goddess originally had a gloomy expression, but when she heard these words, her eyes flashed with great joy. She thought she would be deposed from her position as a god today.
"Immortal Venerable, that person knows my daily life very well, which is why they were able to destroy the sacred tree in just a few hours when I was away. I suspect it's... someone from the Seven Political Palaces."
Although the Temple of the Seven Gods no longer exists, Zhenxing died, and Chenxing was demoted, only people in the Temple of the Seven Gods know her, the Moon Goddess.
"Well, tell the Xingdian all the clues, and they will help you investigate."
Ji Chen nodded softly, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Zimo still standing there.
"What else do you want?"
The peaceful coexistence between Yu Zimo and Ji Chen is based on ginger wine, but it does not mean that the Ghost King can participate in the affairs of the Nine Heavens.
"About the wine."
Yu Zimo dropped these words.
