Although we can find other monks to observe carefully to see if there is anything unusual in their behavior.
But without Ajing's scan, it would be almost as unreliable as fortune-telling to predict future achievements - the success rate might be less than one percent.
Fortunately it was An Zhisu. If Xu Yinglian was here, he would have questioned him until he was unable to answer.
After all, Senior Sister An is easier to fool.
The two wandered around in the secret realm, searching everywhere for monks who were undergoing the Golden Palace Trial.
Every time he found someone, Ling Yunpo would pretend to be mysterious and observe for a moment, then shake his head and say "I don't feel anything unusual", and An Zhisu would just say "Oh oh oh".
It was not until almost noon that Senior Sister An realized something was wrong and asked suspiciously:
"Junior brother, can our method really work?"
"Hold on, Senior Sister. Don't give up until the last moment!" Ling Yunpo encouraged her, "Maybe we'll find a clue soon?"
An Zhisu thought so too. After all, there was no other good way, so he could only continue searching.
Unknowingly, the two of them had returned to the vicinity of the palace where True Lord Zhaoling was originally located.
I only heard Kunlun Mirror suddenly say lazily:
"Found it. It's right in front of us. It's the female sword fairy."
Ling Yunpo looked carefully and saw that in the corridor in front of him, Master Miaodan was talking with Master Jinghua.
Female sword fairy? So the inner demon is hidden in the sea of consciousness of Miao Dan Zhenren?
"It's not hiding." Kunlun Jing corrected him, "It's wearing her skin."
"I guess that when you were searching the secret realm, this Miao Dan Zhenren was also wandering around, and was discovered and devoured by the demon."
"Is that so?" Ling Yunpo's mind raced.
So the victim was Miao Dan Zhenren? The real murderer was the demon? But why did Sister An get involved...
Before he could react, An Zhisu had already noticed something strange about Master Miaodan.
After all, she was born with a sword heart and was very sensitive to things like aura. She also vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this Miao Dan Zhenren.
Normally, she wouldn't have thought too much about it. But now that she knew about the existence of the Heavenly Demon, and Ling Yunpo had been staring at Master Miao Dan for too long, An Zhisu immediately knew that this person was not right, and with a pinch of sword formula, she quickly shot out the Feiyan Sword, killing Master Miao Dan from behind.
Ling Yunpo was startled and quickly activated the Qingping Sword to block it.
As a result, as soon as the Qingping Sword and the Feiyan Sword collided, Ling Yunpo felt a sharp pain in his Dantian under the stimulation of his true energy.
Oops, I forgot Dangen is still growing!
The pain came so suddenly that Ling Yun lost control of the Qingping Sword, and the Feiyan Sword, which was not blocked, slid out.
But Master Miao Dan seemed unaware of anything and just let the flying sword pierce through his chest, leaving a bright spot of blood.
Then he let out a cry and fell to the ground and died.
An Zhisu suddenly felt something was wrong. Her sword-controlling skills were not known for being secretive, and she did not deliberately pursue sneak attacks. She was just attacking tentatively to see if she could force the opponent to behave strangely... But how could Miao Dan Zhenren not be able to defend against it?
There is indeed a problem!
Master Jinghua reacted suddenly, and immediately turned around and controlled the sword, holding his natal sword in front of him to defend himself.
But Ling Yunpo suddenly strode forward, walked to the side of Miao Dan Zhenren's body, reached out and grabbed Miao Dan Zhenren's shoulders, and lifted him up easily.
Only then did Jinghua see clearly: There was no body of Miaodan Zhenren? It was clear that only a piece of skin was left!
All the essence, energy, and blood in her body were plundered by the demon, leaving only a skin on the surface. Considering the cultivation level of Miao Dan Zhenren, how powerful could the demon that attacked her be? !
"See clearly, Senior Brother Jinghua." Ling Yunpo said in a deep voice, "This Miaodan Zhenren had already been killed by the Heavenly Demon. My Senior Sister tried to force her to show something strange because she saw something was wrong."
"If not, she would lead you to a deserted place and pounce on you, and you would die."
Master Jinghua's face turned pale, and he could not refute.
He really wanted to say that even if this demon attacked him by surprise, he might not be able to kill him.
But failing to identify the demon was embarrassing enough, and no matter how he tried to defend himself now, it would still feel like he was just trying to be tough.
Looking at Miao Dan Zhenren's body again, Jing Hua Zhenren started to have a headache again.
I was the one leading the team on this trip to the Golden Palace Secret Realm, but someone died in the team again... Well, why did I say again?
In short, I have to think about how to explain to my master when I go back.
"Senior sister." Ling Yunpo said calmly, "Go find Master Zhao Ling and tell her that we have discovered this demon. Ask her to come over and deal with it quickly."
"But..." An Zhisu wanted to say something, but when he saw that his junior brother and Master Jinghua both looked extremely serious, and vaguely realized that he seemed to have caused trouble, he could only respond and leave silently.
After watching An Zhisu leave, Ling Yunpo let out a sigh.
Although I already knew that history cannot be changed, it was only after actually experiencing it that I realized the horrific effects of cause and effect.
If Su Jian had not caused hatred in the past, Miao Dan Zhenren would not have spoken so harshly about Qingluo Peak, and naturally would not have provoked An Zhisu's hatred. She would not have directly tried to test him without saying a word just now.
If he had not just taken the elixir of the Wanxiang Immortal, and Senior Sister An had not used her full strength in the test attack, he would have been able to stop her.
If Master Jinghua hadn't happened to be here... I'd be so annoyed that I might as well just kill this guy!
If it weren't for the fact that fighting was not allowed in the Golden Palace Secret Realm, Ling Yunpo would have even had the urge to kill Master Jing Hua. Now he could only persuade him earnestly:
"Brother Jinghua, you also know that you cannot use force in the Golden Palace Secret Realm. It's just that Sister Miaodan has already been swallowed by the demon, so my sister was able to draw her sword at her. This is also the best proof that she has already been possessed by the demon."
"I know this too." Master Jinghua frowned and said, "But Master Miaodan died in the secret realm, so there must be an explanation."
"Brother Jinghua, do you mean to ask us from Qingluo Peak to give an explanation?" Ling Yunpo asked unhappily.
"No, it is us in Emei who need to give an explanation to Ziyun Peak." Jinghua Zhenren sighed and said, "I was the one leading the team this time, and something went wrong again. I will definitely apologize to Master."
Ling Yunpo felt relieved when he heard that.
To put it nicely, Master Jinghua's personality is upright; to put it bluntly, he is rigid.
During the trip to the Demon Locking Tower in the past, he was easily deceived by the smoke bomb released by Tu Shanjun and actually thought that it was Su Jian who was killing people... But to put it another way, this person has no independent thinking ability and is easily influenced by others.
Since he said he wanted to apologize to the master, that means he should have believed what I said before to exonerate his senior sister.
After dealing with this sole witness, even if the senior sister is suspected of murdering a fellow disciple and is investigated by Shushan, I think nothing will happen in the end.
Then next, I have to find a way to get my own Golden Palace position.
