Chapter 168 Ye Li: The real culprit is him!
Under Ye Li's gaze, Chu Wei placed the Shadow Token in the moonlight.
A moment later, just as it had been at Moonlit Lake, Shadow began to absorb the moonlight.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the originally pitch-black hexagonal shadow token began to emit a faint, eerie light.
Just then, Chu Wei lifted it up, letting its halo project onto the wall.
At the same time, Ye Li's pupils dilated, "This is..."
It is a map.
There are six sites in total, including the Fog Camphor Forest and Moon White Lake.
Chu Wei's voice was deep, "Back then, when Sect Master Ouyang gave the Shadow Token to Master, he said that the Shadow Token was very important to the Wuqi Clan. Each person only had one and never took it off. It was not only because it represented their identity, but also because it contained a map of the Wuqi Clan and was the key to opening these spaces."
Ye Li hesitated, "So, these are all alternate dimensions of the Wuqi Clan?"
"Judging from the misty camphor forest and the moonlit lake, that's correct."
Beneath the misty camphor forest dwells the masked man, beneath the moonlit lake dwells the Kshatriya, what else could be in these other places?
Just as Ye Li was engrossed in studying the map, Chu Wei raised his hand and bumped into her.
Ye Li was startled. "What are you doing?"
Chu Wei was also taken aback. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were next to me."
have no idea?
Ye Li realized something, "You can't see me? Then how did you find me?"
Chu Wei raised the magical artifact in his hand. "This."
Seeing the compass in his hand, Ye Li was slightly surprised, "Spirit-Seeking Compass? Isn't this the magic artifact that Master Qingyu gave to Su Ying'er? How come it's with you?"
Chu Wei shook his head. "My master made two Spirit-Seeking Compasses back then. One was for finding living beings, and the other was for finding souls."
Ye Li suddenly realized, "The Spirit-Seeking Disc in Qingyu Zhenren's hand was given to him by Li Yuehua?"
No wonder Master Qingyu gave the Spirit-Seeking Plate to Su Ying'er; in his eyes, this was returning the item to its rightful owner.
However, the spirit-finding compass has its limits. Even if Chu Wei can detect her presence, he still needs to know where she went.
Ye Li looked suspicious. "Then how did you know I would encounter danger at the Golden Cloud Sect?"
A cold glint flashed in Chu Wei's eyes, "Because Feng Jingxuan has a problem."
Ye Li secretly agreed. Indeed, if Chu Wei was not Ghost Face, then Feng Jingxuan's identity would be extremely suspicious.
She probed, "Is something wrong with Feng Jingxuan?"
Chu Wei didn't respond, but glanced in her direction. "Before answering that question, I also want to ask you a question."
"Who exactly are you?"
When Chu Wei spoke, Ye Li already guessed what he wanted to ask.
Chu Wei had previously suspected that she was Li Yuehua, but because her blood didn't match, Chu Wei's suspicion remained just that—a suspicion.
Should we tell Chu Wei the truth?
At this moment, Chu Wei was being completely open with her, so she shouldn't have kept anything from him.
But……
Ye Li scrutinized Chu Wei, wondering if he was lying.
Recent events have made her unable to easily trust anyone. After some thought, Ye Li said only half of what she meant, "I am Ye Li."
"Ye Li?"
Chu Wei's originally cold and stern gaze instantly lost focus, and he stood there frozen for a long time before he came to his senses.
"You are Ye Li of the Lotus Sect?"
Ye Li nodded, "Not bad."
Upon hearing that she was not Li Yuehua, Chu Wei's gaze instantly turned cold. "You clearly did not possess anyone, so how could you be possessing Jiang Li's body?"
Ye Li omitted the details, only saying that she was killed in the Mist Camphor Forest by a demon who was suspected to be a remnant of the Wuqi Clan, and was then brought back to the Mist Camphor Forest.
"Originally, the demon wanted to control my soul, but by some twist of fate, I escaped and have been living as Jiang Li ever since."
Most of it is true, except that the Chaos Realm and Xie Sixing were not mentioned.
As she spoke, Chu Wei pursed his thin lips, his cold eyes deep, as if he were considering whether what she was saying was true.
After a long silence, he finally said, "So, it wasn't you who repaired the Joyful Sword?"
Ye Li shook her head against her will.
Remembering that Chu Wei was blind, she denied it again, saying, "No."
"..."
Although Chu Wei didn't show much expression, she could sense a sense of emptiness and loneliness emanating from him.
His silence lasted longer this time than before.
"The reason I suspect Feng Jingxuan is because he may be the murderer of Tian Shu Ling Zun."
Ye Li was surprised.
The body of the Heavenly Pivot Spirit Venerable, whose body was buried in the Heavenly Mandate Hall and whose death was unknown for a long time, was also involved in this matter.
Although everything that happened after her death seemed unrelated, somehow every clue was intertwined.
Ye Li tried to sort them out, but something was always missing.
It's as if she overlooked something very important.
She hesitated, "How did you know it was Feng Jingxuan?"
"..."
It turns out that when Tian Shu Ling Zun left Tianmen Sect, it wasn't to get closer to the Heavenly Dao, but because he found clues about Li Yuehua's madness.
The Celestial Pivot Spirit Lord said that when he returns, the truth will come out.
But after that, the Celestial Pivot Spirit Lord disappeared without a trace.
During this time, Chu Wei went to look for him several times, but the world was so vast that he did not know where Tian Shu Ling Zun had gone and there was still no news.
Until Elder Song accidentally blew up the Heavenly Mandate Hall, revealing the corpses underneath.
Ye Li frowned. "So, you mean that Tian Shu Ling Zun found the truth and returned, but was killed by Feng Jing Xuan?"
Chu Wei's expression was cold and stern. "Not bad."
Why are you so certain it's Feng Jingxuan?
Chu Wei took out the tortoise shell he had found in the Sand Sea Mirage. "Before Tian Shu Ling Zun died, the Golden Sand Flame Flower he held in his hand grew in the Golden Desert. They thought Tian Shu Ling Zun was hinting that the clue was there. But they didn't notice that a petal had been plucked from the flower, and its location wasn't the Golden Desert, but the Sand Sea Mirage. So, I found this in the Sand Sea Mirage."
Ye Li knew nothing about fortune telling, her brows furrowed as she took the tortoise shell and examined it. "Isn't this a tortoise shell used for divination? What does it mean?"
Chu Wei's gaze was also fixed on the patterns on the tortoise shell. "At first, I didn't understand it either, but when I looked through the divination book that Tian Shu Ling Zun had given me, I found that this divination corresponds to a sentence."
"When the phoenix feathers unfold, disaster strikes; a shadowy figure hides bloodshed."
Ye Li: "Phoenix Feather... Phoenix..."
Did Tian Shu Ling Zun leave these words to say that Feng Jing Xuan was the one who killed him?
"If that's the case, why don't you inform the sect leader and the Grand Elder to avenge Tian Shu Ling Zun?"
Chu Wei shook his head, looking hesitant. "Although Feng Jingxuan's cultivation is not low, his realm is far inferior to that of Tian Shu Ling Zun. I suspect there might be others."
other people……
In that instant, something flashed through Ye Li's mind.
She finally realized what she had been ignoring!
She was wrong! She was wrong from the very beginning!
Now she knows everything!
