Chapter 66: Doubt
In order to celebrate this narrow escape and to ease Xi Jing's mood, Yisanmen ate and drank like a festival, and even killed a hen for laying eggs, which successfully diverted Xi Jing's attention.
But they didn't know that someone was watching them.
South Wing Gate
Sect Master Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean they look good?"
The subordinate lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
"Have you seen that little girl?"
"No, but there was another woman. From a distance, I couldn't see her face clearly, but her figure and other aspects didn't look like Xi Jing."
Sect Master Xu sat there thoughtfully. The deputy sect master waved his hand, motioning the man to leave. He then whispered, "I heard that He Yingping didn't die in the fire. The fire was intended to cover up his true cause of death. Sect Master, I have a bold guess, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
"explain."
"Could it be the work of a physical cultivator? I checked and it seems that the traitor of Minglan Sect is not on good terms with the He brothers."
He thought about it carefully and felt that it was more and more possible. The damage caused by spiritual energy was different from that caused by real weapons. Once the corpse was burned, who would know whether He Yingping had fought with a physical cultivator or a Taoist cultivator during his lifetime?
The deputy sect leader continued, "Even the people in the Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall wouldn't want to be associated with a traitor, much less be accused of fulfilling a traitor's wish. Burning them is the best solution. Therefore, even if someone is wrongly accused, they won't stand up."
"Wronged? How could she be wronged?" Sect Master Xu laughed and said, "Clearly, my disciple was mistaken. That woman is Xi Jing!"
"The Sect Master is right."
Not long after, Xujiamen received news that the woman from Yisanmen was still alive!
Things went extremely smoothly, even better than Sect Master Xu had expected. The Chengyi Sect immediately stated that they wanted the Yisan Sect to pay for their lives, and the Xujia Sect acquiesced.
When Yu Han's supervisor received the news, it was too late. He hurriedly called Yu Han over and said, "Quick, notify Yisanmen and flee immediately!"
Although Yu Han didn't know what was going on, he still agreed.
"Wait!" The steward suddenly stopped him and said slowly, "Tell Old Man Wen that after this incident, I will repay his life-saving grace."
"yes."
At the same time, in a courtyard in the city, Yan Wenxuan smiled and took a sip of wine, saying slowly: "This is a well-established sect, and it is used to seeking face from the heads of small sects."
The man in blue beside him was gentle and elegant, carrying a wooden sword. He asked, "Are you saying that this was not done by the Yisan Sect?"
He answered confidently, "There's absolutely no way it's related to the Yisan Sect. The murderer is most likely someone from the Punishment Hall. It's just that the elder leading the team didn't dare to ask the Minglan Sect."
The man in blue smiled and made himself a pot of tea, commenting, "It's a pity for the Yisan Sect."
"Who can I blame if I don't have the strength?"
"However, even if he doesn't dare to ask, the He brothers' aunt will definitely dare to ask, right?"
The smile on Yan Wenxuan's face faded, and he sneered, "Are you talking about that ungrateful Fourth, no, Third Senior Sister? Ha, the Punishment Hall is now in Xu Qianjia's hands, how could she dare to ask? Her Senior Brother is not that fool Yue Qiran, who would protect her without principles."
The man in blue put away his smile and retorted, "Senior Sister Yue was simply deceived."
He chuckled twice, but didn't respond. Instead, he asked, "I heard you're looking for an alien race now?"
When he heard this, he looked around vigilantly.
Yan Wenxuan had an indifferent attitude.
"I just want to know the truth of two years ago."
"How courageous!" the chief hall master said jokingly, "Not only do you dare to actively seek out aliens, but you even dare to question the words of Qinglan Tianzun."
The man in blue chuckled softly, and after a long while he said, "Tianzun is not a god. Even if he were a god, he would have selfish desires, be blinded, and make wrong decisions. Besides, aren't you doubting too?"
"But even if all of us who doubt it stood together, we couldn't stop a single attack from Qinglan Tianzun."
After these words were spoken, the two were silent for a long time.
The man in blue stared at the tea in his cup. Unlike his usual elegance, he drank it all in one gulp, his voice becoming more resolute. "When she rescued my childhood self from the beasts, my life became hers. Whether I can stop her or not, I'm going to try."
Yan Wenxuan laughed heartily, but spoke in a very soft voice: "Then let's give it a try together. I don't believe that someone who hates foreigners so much would turn to them, and I even less believe that my choice of friends is worse than her choice of fellow apprentices."
If anyone heard this conversation, they would definitely think they were crazy. That was the Tianzun, one of only three Tianzun in the world! How could he be wrong?
While the two were chatting and laughing, Tao Zi and his group had just finished their meal and welcomed Yu Han.
Han Yueshan smiled and said, "What a bad time you came. We only have leftovers. Would you like some?"
Yu Han said anxiously, "When disaster strikes, why should we eat? Run away!"
Everyone from the Yisan Sect looked at him in confusion. Tao Zi reacted quickly: "Chengyi Sect, are you here to cause trouble?"
"Yes!" Yu Han told them what happened while helping them pack up.
Xi Jing was so angry that she was jumping up and down, talking non-stop, and packing up her things at the same speed: "We are obviously the most innocent, how can they still target us? This Cheng Yimen is so abominable!"
The eldest sister remained silent. Yu Han sighed and said, "I'm just an ordinary person. It's not easy for me to confront them. I'll leave first. You guys should hurry up."
"OK."
When it comes to escaping, the master seems quite experienced: "Just take things like gold and silver talismans, and don't pack your clothes!"
Tao Zi suddenly said, "Master, I will go down the mountain and lead the villagers away."
Zhao Xue was stunned and mumbled, "The villagers are just ordinary people. Could it be that they are...?"
"The Cheng family won't care about these things. What's more, if we run away, who else can they take out their anger on if not the villagers?"
Xi Jing hurriedly picked up a bag and said, "Senior Sister, I'll go with you!"
The master said, "If something happens, you won't be able to stop it. Let's go together. I'm faster, and you can follow."
A few people rushed to the village, but they were a step too late. The village was already covered in blood.
Han Yueshan and Zhao Xue's faces turned blue and purple. Tao Zi took out his cloak and put it on expressionlessly. With a sharp blade in his hand, Xi Jing rushed towards the place where the noise came from like crazy.
That was a small market in the village. Even though there were not many people, they still opened a small market for their own entertainment.
At this time, in the place where there was always laughter and joy, old people fell down one after another. Yier and several other children were hiding in the corner with their eyes covered by the surviving old people.
