Chapter 87 Witnessing Chu Wei Murder
Ye Li stared at Su Ying'er's back. What was she doing out so late?
Surely they're not going to find a spirit beast.
Thinking about how Su Ying'er insisted on recruiting her into the team today, it seemed as if she was plotting something...
Ye Li followed Su Ying'er silently, wanting to see what she was up to.
Although it was Su Ying'er's first time visiting Kuangshagang as a disciple of Tianmen Sect, she seemed quite familiar with the place.
About half an hour later, Ye Li recognized the road.
here it is……
Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, she saw the pale lake radiating a chill under the moonlight.
Moonlit Lake.
The place where Mo Hannian was poisoned by the Gu poison back then.
What is Su Ying'er doing here secretly in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
Su Ying'er was unaware that someone was following her. She stood in front of Moon White Lake, took out a black token that emitted an obsidian luster, and walked around Moon White Lake with a strange gait.
She first spun around in place a few times, then walked and stopped intermittently. When she reached a huge stone monument by the lake, she raised the black sign in her hand.
The sign absorbed the moonlight for a while, then reflected a pale light that fell on the stone tablet.
The whole process was indescribably strange.
Just as Ye Li's attention was drawn to the sign, Su Ying'er suddenly vanished from the spot.
Ye Li quickly stepped forward and circled the stone tablet, but couldn't find Su Ying'er anywhere.
Where are they?
A perfectly healthy person just vanished into thin air?
"Is there a barrier?"
"No, Su Ying'er just seemed to be walking in some kind of footwork, and that sign looked like a key to unlock something."
"Where did she go...?"
Just as Ye Li was deep in thought, a casual voice sounded from her arms, "She has entered another dimension."
Ye Li was startled. Ignoring her, she took out a mirror and asked, "What is an alternate dimension?"
It was getting late. Xie Sixing yawned and said lazily, "This Kuangshagang was the old lair of the Wuqi Clan in the human world a thousand years ago. However, they were wary of someone finding them, so there are two spaces here. One is what you can see now, and the other is an alternate space, which is also where they really live."
Ye Li seemed to be deep in thought. "I just saw Su Ying'er holding a black sign. Is it the key to get in?"
"Oh, you must be referring to the Shadow Token of the Wuqi Clan. That's right, to enter the alternate dimension, you need a Shadow Token that symbolizes your Wuqi Clan identity."
Since it belongs to the Wuqi Clan, how could Su Ying'er have it?
It must have been given to her by Ghost Mask.
As expected, Ghost Face was a remnant of the Wuqi Clan!
Since the area beneath Moonlight Lake is an alternate dimension of the Wuqi Clan in the human world, it is highly likely that Mo Hannian was poisoned by Gu poison back then because he happened to witness something!
Having finally found a clue, Ye Li's spirits lifted.
She looked at the stone tablet where Su Ying'er had just disappeared. "Then, besides the Shadow Token, is there no other way to get in?"
"No."
Xie Sixing answered decisively.
Ye Li was somewhat disappointed.
We've come all this way, but we're stopped at a single token.
Seemingly sensing her dejection, Xie Sixing teased, "What's wrong? You can't even talk to me anymore now that you can't get in? Little Taoist priest, it's not a good habit to kick someone after they've served their purpose."
Ye Li clearly lacked experience in joking like this, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I, I didn't, I just didn't know what to say."
To avoid saying or doing anything wrong that would disgrace Master Qingyu's lineage, and to also manage his fellow disciples, Ye Li was meticulous for the first twenty years of his life.
In addition, several of her junior brothers were angry with her for various reasons. When they saw her, they would either avoid her or leave in annoyance, and they would almost never joke with her.
So much so that she didn't even know how to respond to Xie Sixing's jokes.
Sensing her embarrassment, Xie Sixing chuckled softly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore, give me your hand."
Ye Li subconsciously reached out her hand.
The next second, a hexagonal black sign appeared in her palm.
It looks exactly the same as Su Ying'er's.
Her eyes lit up; this was…
"Shadow Order?!"
With this, she can enter the alternate dimension just like Su Ying'er to see what they're up to!
"good."
Xie Sixing paused, "However, although the Wuqi Clan has been wiped out, no one can say for sure what's down there. Are you sure you want to go down?"
"It's alright, I'm a soul now."
Xie Sixing clicked his tongue, "For the Wuqi Clan, a soul body is not a protective charm."
Thinking of the eerie sacrificial spells of the Ghost Face, she felt that Xie Sixing's words made sense.
Suddenly sensing something was off, Ye Li belatedly realized, "How do you know so much about the Wuqi Clan? You even have the Wuqi Clan's Shadow Token? Could you really be a member of the Wuqi Clan?!"
Xie Sixing chuckled, "Isn't it a bit too late to ask now?"
Uh, indeed...
She should have suspected he was a member of the Wuqi clan when he mentioned other dimensions long ago; why is it only now that she's realized it?
Perhaps it's because she already considers Xie Sixing her friend.
This was the first time someone had taught her how to protect herself, how to fight back against those who hurt her, and how to be shameless...
This was her first friend, and the only one who was willing to listen to her, and she really didn't want to lose him.
"Thank you, Sixing."
Ye Li's voice was unusual; it was no longer as cold as ice as before, but carried a hint of the first snow melting.
Although it was still cold, there was a hint of warmth that seemed to melt away.
Under the moonlight, Xie Sixing's voice also lowered slightly, "Hmm?"
Ye Li said seriously, "You should repent and reform."
There was silence for a few seconds.
Xie Sixing chuckled, "Daoist Master, you truly live up to your title. You always have time to persuade me to do good."
He thought Ye Li was just like before, afraid that he, this evil spirit, would bring disaster to the world.
But she said, "I don't want to be your enemy."
Hearing Ye Li's muffled voice, Xie Sixing showed a moment of surprise, then a silent smile spread across his lips.
"I see."
His deep, mellow voice held a smile, seemingly both joking and serious, "Alright, I promise you, I will definitely walk the righteous path from now on and wait for you, Daoist Master, to come and guide me."
Ye Li felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a noise.
It looks like there's a fight going on!
Ye Li followed the sound and saw Chu Wei slit someone's throat with a single sword stroke.
Upon seeing this, the man's companion immediately knelt down, pleading, "We were blind to your greatness and dared to ambush you! We will never do it again! Please spare our lives, please..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's body stiffened, and a line of blood gradually spread across his neck, turning crimson.
With a "thud," he fell to the ground.
Chu Wei wiped the blood off his sword and sheathed it.
Taoist cultivators are just like ordinary people; there are good people and bad people among them.
In the trial grounds, you not only have to guard against monsters, but also against people.
It must be that these two saw Chu Wei alone and tried to rob him, but Chu Wei killed them instead.
Such people are mostly desperate criminals, and they deserve to die.
But why is Chu Wei here alone, and why does he happen to be at Moon White Lake?
