Chapter 96 The Secret of the Man in Black Robe
Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
Elder Honghuang sat upright on the chair, his brows tightly furrowed, forming a deep groove.
His eyes fell on the lifeless body of a man in black robe lying on the ground not far away, and his heart was filled with doubts and worries.
On the other side, two shivering female trainees huddled together.
From their panic-stricken eyes, it can be seen that they have almost no idea what is happening before their eyes.
After careful investigation, it was discovered that there were black poisonous insects parasitic in their bodies, which made the whole incident even more confusing.
Just then, the sound of light footsteps broke the silence.
Elder Honghuang looked up and saw Venerable Danhua slowly approaching.
He quickly stood up to greet him and said respectfully, "Uncle Master, please sit down!"
When Venerable Danhua sat firmly in his seat, Elder Honghuang breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, as if he had found his backbone.
Before they could start talking, the sect master and another elder from the Law Enforcement Hall hurried over.
Everyone looked at each other and understood each other's intentions without saying a word.
Venerable Danhua was the first to ask, "Tell me, what is so urgent?"
Elder Honghuang took a deep breath and then told everything about his previous investigation.
"Well, go on!"
Elder Honghuang couldn't help but reveal a trace of dejection. "Uncle Master, Sect Master, Mo Li, someone has placed a powerful ban on this man in black robe. I tried to enter his sea of consciousness to find the truth, but I only found an area filled with black fog. Just when I wanted to check further, this man suddenly died. It is obvious that someone has cast a forbidden spell on his sea of consciousness."
Venerable Danhua narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly said, "As far as I know, there are three places filled with black fog. The first is the Black Wind Cliff in the Soul Devouring Forest, where there are gusts of cold wind and black fog all year round; the second is the Cloud Mist Valley in the Qiyang Mountains. Although there is fog there as well, the color is relatively lighter; the last is the Shadow Valley in the North Border Mountains, which is extremely secretive and little known."
Nascent Soul cultivator Mo Li nodded: "Uncle Master is right, these places are all well-known dangerous places, and those cultivators would like to avoid them when they see them!
Especially the Black Wind Cliff in the Soul Devouring Forest and the Shadow Valley on the Northland Mountain, which are the most dangerous places. How could someone hide there?"
"That being said, the more impossible a place seems, the more likely it is to hide some secrets or people. We still have to send someone to investigate carefully. However... the person who goes to investigate is indeed in great danger. We need to think carefully about who to send."
As the leader of Huatian Sect spoke, he frowned tightly, obviously finding this matter quite difficult.
"Yes, Sect Master! Today's matter was resolved by Junior Sister Gu. Perhaps it would be a good idea to let her go and find out what happened!" Elder Honghuang suddenly suggested.
Venerable Danhua glanced at Honghuang and said with a little displeasure: "Honghuang, no! Qingluo's cultivation is still shallow and her strength is relatively weak. It is not appropriate to entrust such an important task to her!"
Elder Honghuang was startled, but still said seriously: "Uncle Master, you don't know. Although Junior Sister Gu's cultivation is not high, she performed well during the trip to the back mountain and successfully rescued several waves of cultivators from our sect! This shows that her keen insight is incomparable to ordinary people.
Moreover, if we send people with advanced cultivation, those cunning evil cultivators might not show up at all!"
Hua Tian Zongzhu looked at Dan Hua Zun and said slowly, "Uncle, in my opinion, we might as well ask Junior Sister Gu what she thinks. If she agrees, we can secretly send people to follow her and never interfere with her actions. We will only show up to help her when she is in trouble and needs help. What do you think of this plan? Of course, if she doesn't agree, we don't have to force it. At worst, we can find another good plan."
Venerable Danhua nodded slightly to show his agreement, then turned to Honghuang and ordered: "Honghuang, quickly take off the black robe of this black-robed man and check him carefully to see if he has changed his appearance."
Two law enforcement disciples quickly stepped forward, and with swift and decisive movements, they tore off the black robe of the man in black robe, and moved close to his face, beginning to examine it in great detail.
Not long after, one of the disciples reported with a serious look: "The situation is a bit strange! This person is definitely not his true self."
Hearing this, several bigwigs present gathered around, wanting to find out what was going on.
Upon seeing this, Venerable Danhua took out a small and exquisite jade bottle from his bosom, uncapped it, poured out a crystal clear pill, put it into the jade bowl, and then instructed: "Add some water to the bowl, then stir the liquid medicine evenly, and apply it on his face."
The law enforcement disciple did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed the instructions of Venerable Danhua.
Soon, the preparation work was completed, and the prepared medicine was gently applied to the face of the man in black robe.
Time passed minute by minute, and about a quarter of an hour later, an astonishing scene happened - a thin film gradually appeared on the face of the man in black robe.
The membrane was as thin and transparent as a cicada's wing, appearing and disappearing.
When the time was right, the law enforcement disciple acted decisively, reached out and gently tore off the mysterious film.
Everyone looked at the face that appeared before them, and were all stunned for a moment, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Because this person turned out to be a person they were all familiar with - Wuzhen, the third disciple of the sect leader Hua Tian.
You know, a year ago, Wuzhen died in an accident outside, and his soul lamp was completely extinguished.
"Wu Zhen? How could it be him?" When Hua Tian saw the person in front of him, his face was full of astonishment, his eyes were wide open, he simply couldn't believe what he saw.
Hua Tian did not dare to delay for even a second and quickly walked forward to take a closer look.
That’s right, it was indeed Wu Zhen who had been dead for more than a year.
Wuzhen was born with six fingers on his left hand, and the same is true of the left hand of the body in front of him.
The Honghuang elder standing by was also shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "That's not right! When Wu Zhen passed away, I was guarding him by his side, and I cremated his body with my own hands."
"This is really strange. If the dead person was not Wuzhen, then perhaps it could be explained." Mo Li frowned and said thoughtfully.
As Hua Tian spoke, he racked his brains to think of various possibilities: "No, the one who died was definitely Wu Zhen. When he passed away, the soul lamp went out instantly. Could it be that there are two identical people in this world? Could they be twins?"
