Chapter 65: Teleportation Array
"The fire is happening!"
The heart-wrenching sound woke An Jie up. Tao Zi quietly returned to her residence and spent the night without sleeping.
The next morning, news of Anjie's incident spread throughout Xujia City. It was rumored that the incident had alarmed the Xujia clan's top brass; such an incident, occurring so close to the Autumn Victory Feast, was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
An inner hall steward with the Jindan cultivation level was in charge of handling the matter. He called all the people from the Cheng sect who came to the banquet and the disciples who patrolled An Street that day, including Yu Han.
After discussing with her master, Tao Zi decided to wait and see if there was any new news from Yu Han.
Unexpectedly, when he came back, his expression was very strange, giving people the feeling that he wanted to laugh but was trying hard to hold it back.
Han Yueshan asked curiously, "Yu Han, what are you so happy about?"
He coughed lightly a few times, but couldn't help laughing, saying, "The chief hall master of the Chengyi Sect's outer hall has a rather strange temper."
"What...did he do?" Tao Zi almost said the word "again".
Yu Han described the scene at that time vividly.
[At that time, the person in charge of the outer hall of Chengyimen complained to the elder in charge, saying that the chief hall master had shown murderous intentions yesterday.
Who would have thought that the chief hall master would actually retort, "I have the intention to kill any idiot, let alone an idiot who wants to threaten me."
The elder asked in return, “Do you admit it?”
"Admit what?" The head hall master rolled his eyes. "Just because I have the intention to kill that idiot doesn't mean I'll actually do it. At most I'll say 'good riddance'."
It is said that the elder's face turned pale and he scolded, "Yan Wenxuan, that's your fellow disciple!"
The deacon on the side coughed several times to stop their quarrel and said, "Master Yan is a true character."
Unexpectedly, Yan Wenxuan didn't even give him face and just laughed twice.
The situation was awkward for a while. The elders didn't dare to offend Xu Jiamen and stayed cautiously by his side. "He has always been straightforward and loves to offend people. Our leader has personally reprimanded him several times, but it was useless. In the end, we could only order him to read books and cultivate his character."
The deacon said half-jokingly, "It seems you haven't read enough books."
Yan Wenxuan took a sip of wine and said slowly, "That's enough. Ever since I started reading, my conversation has become more and more interesting."
Someone couldn't help but whisper, "You're being funny? That's clearly a sarcastic insult."
The elder glared at him immediately, and the man didn't dare to speak again.
The deacon didn't intend to put too much energy into this matter and said, "In other words, this matter has nothing to do with Master Yan, but can you make a guarantee?"
"If you don't believe me, then I swear?" Swearing is a very serious matter for cultivators. The way of heaven may not pay too much attention to the oaths of ordinary people, but those of cultivators will definitely leave traces.
"OK."
Hall Master Yan cleared his throat and said seriously, "I swear that He Yingping's death was not my fault. If I tell a lie, my entire clan will be wiped out."
At this point, Yu Han burst into laughter, clutching his aching stomach and saying, "You didn't see it. When the oath was uttered, the elder of the Chengyi Sect's face turned blue and purple. He almost fainted on the spot."
Tao Zi rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat amused and helpless, and said, "It's rare for someone to swear by their own sect."
Han Yueshan looked thoughtful, glanced at his master, and said, "So, you can swear on others?"
The master struck him with his cane and scolded him, "That's because he himself is a master of a certain sect. Besides, such a vow is unlikely to be effective."
Yu Han nodded. "Yes, someone raised this question at the time, and was scolded back by the head hall master. He even wanted to fight in front of Xu Jiamen, but was finally stopped by the elder and chased out. The deacon was just watching the fun, but Cheng Yimen didn't dare say anything."
Tao Zi smiled. In the eyes of Xujiamen, Chengyimen was nothing. If it weren't for the upcoming Autumn Victory Banquet and the incident happening in the city, they wouldn't bother to care even if the chief hall master died, let alone the head of the steward hall.
Xi Jing asked with concern: "What was the final result?"
"The Xujia Sect sent personnel to assist with the investigation and provided certain benefits to the Chengyi Sect. They also stepped up patrols within the city. That's all." His expression grew stern as he spoke. "During the interrogation, we also learned that He Yingping wanted the Yisan Sect to accompany his brother in his burial."
“Bang!”
Han Yueshan angrily slammed the table and cursed, "Shameless!"
"Yes, fortunately he is dead, and the matter is over. By the way, now they all think that the woman who died there is Xi Jing, so..." He looked at Xi Jing hesitantly.
Xi Jing was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand."
Yu Han asked in confusion, "Why do you look so distressed?"
"Human skin masks are very expensive." She said casually in a depressed tone, and then her expression suddenly turned pale, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Tao Zi guessed it, and others also vaguely guessed it.
Thinking of this, Han Yueshan lowered his voice and said, "That person is really kind. He actually let Xu Jia replace Xi Jing."
The master said something random, "Perhaps it's because Xi Jing is also a victim. After all, he came here for revenge. Oh, right, if that's the case, we can't stay long. Let's go cry for a while today and then leave."
"good."
Where should I cry for the last time? Of course, I should cry at Xu Jia's bones.
That afternoon, after Zhao Xue came over, the Yisanmen pretended to be uninformed and rushed over to cry after realizing what had happened. They cried heart-wrenchingly, and anyone who heard them was saddened, and anyone who saw them shed tears.
Little did they know that as soon as they carried the body out of Xujia City, they immediately found a place to bury it - if it weren't for the consideration that Xi Jing might still have some remaining feelings, no one would be willing to dig that hole.
The dead are greater?
No one thinks so. It's not like the evil she did will disappear just because she died.
They happily returned to Nanya and happily took the ordinary people back - to prevent any accidents, Zhao Xue sent everyone away.
Tao Zi smiled and said, "I'll go over and pick them up. I don't know where Xiao Xue sent everyone."
"Nothing, I just used a teleportation array to send her to a faraway place."
She was stunned and blurted out, "Teleportation array?"
"Yes, Master made it."
She looked over in shock. The teleportation array involves the transformation of time and space, and it is difficult to set up even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, unless one is a cultivator who specializes in formations and talismans. Master, it seems that he is only in the Foundation Establishment stage?
The master shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who did it. It was a friend of mine. I was just responsible for some simple inspections."
Tao Zi breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it was. She thought she had accidentally joined an unusual sect, which would be a headache.
After all, she originally just wanted to live a simple life, and at most help these three people overcome the tribulation.
