Wei Sheng Nanlan nodded as she listened, "I've learned something; I forgot to look into this."
“I met him at the foot of the mountain. He’s not Lian Sheng. How did he know you were living in the Spirit Beast Sect?”
Shu Jianyue glanced at Lian Zheng and said, "Of course someone told him. As for who it was, you'll have to ask him."
Wei Sheng Nanlan nodded, "Then I will take him out for questioning, and I will come back to inform Madam of the results."
"No need. Take him with you to Zunlong Peak. We'll stay there now." Shu Jianyue said, then got up and walked out of the main hall.
Seeing Yin Yue and Duan Yuanyuan walking this way, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Yin Yue paused for a moment when she saw Wei Sheng and Nan Lan carrying the bound Lian Sheng, then immediately quickened her pace. "What happened?"
"It's nothing, he just committed a crime and needs to be punished."
"Is the Silver Palm Sect here to see me, or is there something else?"
Yin Yue looked at her and said, "These are the invitations I received today. Two of them are for you. Take a look and see if you want to attend."
Shu Jianyue took it, opened it, and looked at it. One of them was from the Chongxian Sect, saying it was to celebrate the 4,000th anniversary of the sect's founding.
The other one was sent by the city lord of Yicheng, and it was written to invite the deity to a gathering.
"Thank you very much, Silver Palm Sect." Shu Jianyue said, putting away the invitation.
Yin Yue waved her hand to indicate that it didn't matter; it was just sending out invitations.
Seeing Lian Sheng bound hand and foot, Yin Yue's eyelids twitched. What mistake had she made to be tied up like this? She clearly couldn't speak.
Duan Yuanyuan kept looking at Wei Shengnan and Lian Zheng before finally turning to Shu Jianyue and asking, "Can you take me with you when you go out to the banquet? I'm so bored staying in this Spirit Beast Sect."
"I've been here for so long, but I haven't been out yet. I want to go out and see the world."
Shu Jianyue looked at Yin Yue and said, "You take her there. I have other things to do, and I may not be able to go to Chongxian Sect."
First, there's this lotus zither; second, there's the invitation from the city lord of Yicheng.
Duan Yuanyuan immediately looked at Yin Yue. She didn't care who took her out, as long as they could take her out and protect her safety.
Yin Yue really didn't want to, but with the two of them looking at her like that, it seemed like she couldn't refuse.
If Duan Yuanyuan were to go and cry to the ancestor, he would still have to take her along, so he nodded.
"Do you need me to help you refuse the offer from the Chongxian Sect?"
Shu Jianyue shook her head and said, "No need for now. We'll see when the time comes. If there's nothing else, we'll head back now. We still have things to take care of."
Yin Yue looked at Lian Sheng, who was bound hand and foot, and nodded.
Shu Jianyue nodded to Wei Sheng Nanlan and then walked towards Zunlong Peak.
Back at the Floating Pagoda Hall, Shu Jianyue led Wei Sheng and Nan Lan to the front hall.
Lian Zheng's target was clearly Chong Jiu. She wasn't sure whether she should call him or not. After thinking for a moment, she sent a telepathic message to Chong Jiu, telling him what was going on here.
Wei Sheng Nan Lan left Lian Sheng in the hall and sat down on a chair next to her.
Shu Jianyue watched as Lian Zheng pondered how to extract the information she wanted to know from her.
Seeing that she was staring at Lian Zheng without saying a word, Wei Sheng Nan Lan couldn't help but ask, "Is there another problem?"
Shu Jianyue shook her head and looked at him, asking, "Interrogate him and make him tell you everything he knows, including where Lian Sheng went."
Wei Sheng Nan Lan nodded, stood up and came to Lian Zheng, and said indifferently, "You have been with me for a while now, so you must know my methods. If you don't want to suffer, then tell me what you know."
Lian Zheng looked up at him and shook her head, saying, "I don't know anything. As soon as I left the statue, someone brought me to Shenzhou. He told me what to do and then left. I don't know anything else."
"What did that person send you to the Spirit Beast Sect for?" Wei Sheng Nan Lan asked, glancing at Shu Jian Yue as she spoke.
Shu Jianyue kept a close eye on Lian Zheng.
Chong Jiu suddenly appeared and sat down beside her, looking at Lian Zheng in the hall with a very indifferent gaze.
Lian Zheng's eyes flickered when she saw him appear.
Chong Jiu raised his hand and made a grabbing motion towards him. Immediately, a bronze mirror flew out from his chest. Before the bronze mirror could light up, he moved his fingers slightly, and the bronze mirror shattered and fell to the ground.
Shu Jianyue looked at the fragments of the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but get up and go over to take a look. It was said to be a bronze mirror, but the material looked more like glass.
Chong Jiu looked at Wei Sheng Nan Lan and said, "Go to the teleportation array and pick someone up."
Wei Sheng Nan Lan glanced at Lian Sheng and nodded, "Yes, may I ask what kind of person they are?"
"Tall, all in black, cold-faced, like a celestial being." Chong Jiu's voice grew colder as he spoke.
Wei Sheng Nan Lan was stunned. So, was this his problem, or the problem of the person who came up?
Shu Jianyue recognized who it was from Chong Jiu's description, turned around and looked at Chong Jiu in surprise, asking, "Lou Qiongshang is here?"
Chong Jiu nodded slightly. He just didn't understand why that guy would send him a telepathic message when he knew that the guy didn't like him.
Shu Jianyue turned to Wei Shengnanlan and said, "You should go quickly, his name is Lou Qionggu."
"Yes." Wei Sheng Nan Lan bowed and withdrew.
Chong Jiu looked at Lian Zheng, who was staring at the fragments on the ground in the hall, and said, "Do you need me to search your soul, or do you want to confess yourself?"
Lian Zheng then raised her head from the shards scattered on the ground, a strange smile appearing on her face. "You think you can get away with destroying this bronze mirror?"
Suddenly, Chong Jiu appeared behind him, placed his fingertip on the top of his head, and began searching his soul.
If you don't want to talk about it, then just search for it.
Shu Jianyue glanced at it and then ignored it, squatting down to pick up a fragment of the bronze mirror and examine it.
He frowned as he looked at the red runes on the back of the fragment; they were drawn with blood.
Drawing talismans with blood is the practice of evil cultivators. Is the person behind Lian Zheng an evil cultivator?
Shu Jian turned the fragments over and slowly pieced them back together.
Looking at the assembled finished product, Shu Jianyue frowned, because she really couldn't tell what kind of rune it was or what its function was.
Could it be that her skills have declined? Why can't she understand any of them?
After reading Lian Zheng's memories, Chong Jiu came to her side, saw the runes on the fragments, and chuckled.
Shu Jianyue turned to look at him, "You know him?"
That's true, he even recognizes those ancient totem runes, so it's not surprising that he does.
Chong Jiu nodded. "This is the Yin Devouring Talisman, a type of talisman used by evil cultivators. Its main function is to allow the owner of this blood to see what they want to see."
"Of course, this alone cannot be considered a rune of evil cultivators. It also has another function: to devour the soul of the person reflected in the mirror. Although it can only be used once, it is still very insidious."
Shu Jianyue's eyes widened as she listened. "This thing is that powerful?"
"So, his goal is to use the mirror to devour your soul?" She felt that Lian Zheng was very abnormal, as if she really wanted to see Chong Jiu.
His goal really was to apply moxibustion.
