Chapter 165: Shining God (Updated for Alliance Leader Long Zhan Yuye~)
"It's the seventh day of the New Year, and they are still investigating?!" Gao Xian asked.
Zhu Qiniang nodded and said, "I heard that the clan leader was furious and ordered that this matter must be thoroughly investigated.
"Wang Chuan of the Law Enforcement Hall is going crazy. He has closed off Lianyun City to people who can enter but not leave. Now everyone in the city is in danger, fearing that they might be captured by the Law Enforcement Hall by accident."
Gao Xian said with a complicated expression: "The inner sect elders are different."
He was a little surprised that Lianyun Sect was searching for the murderer in such a high-profile manner.
Normally, as long as they catch the people around Bai Yurong, they will be able to find out that Bai Yurong is a spy from the Seven Evils Sect.
Since he was a spy of the Seven Evils Sect, it would be unreasonable to kill Xu Lingyun! The people have run away, so why bother? Gao Xian was a little confused, but he didn't dare to discuss this with Zhu Qiniang. The situation was too tense now, including Xu Lingyun's things, which he hid in the storage bag and didn't even dare to look at.
Jindan Zhenren cannot predict the future, but his spiritual sense may be able to sense the entire city.
You can never be too careful at this point.
Zhu Qinnan was called over and questioned twice, but she was not qualified to participate in this matter.
It can also be seen from this that the sect does not trust the elders of the outer sect.
Zhu Qinnan didn't know the specific situation, but as a foundation-building cultivator and in charge of the Changsheng Hall, she must have known some information.
She said, "It has nothing to do with us anyway, just stay at home."
Before he finished speaking, the housekeeper Li Niang arrived. She whispered outside the door, "Sir, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wang, sent someone to look for you."
Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian looked at each other, and Gao Xian smiled: "It's okay."
"I'll go and take a look."
Zhu Qinnan said something to Gao Xian and went to the main hall in front.
Gao Xian didn't look at him any further. If they really wanted to find out that he was the murderer, Wang Chuan would have just brought his men to surround him. There would be no need to go through so much trouble.
To his surprise, Zhu Qiniang came back after a while.
"how?"
"Wang Chuan asked me to go to the Law Enforcement Hall."
Zhu Qiniang looked at Gao Xian deeply and said, "You asked me to take you with me."
Gao Xian was stunned for a moment. Because of his relationship with Bai Yurong, the Law Enforcement Hall did question him.
But he deliberately came back and showed up, so even if Daniu and the others were arrested and interrogated, they would not suspect him.
What was the meaning of letting him go with Qi Niang this time? Gao Xian looked up. Although the Lianyun Sect's mountain protection formation did not appear, he could sense that the formation was slowly operating.
If you want to escape from Lianyun City, you must break through this formation.
Even if they could break the magic circle, how could they escape Yun Taihao's pursuit?
To scare the tiger?
Gao Xian immediately came up with an idea. He couldn't feel guilty at this moment. He pretended to complain and said, "There are so many things to do in the Law Enforcement Hall. Let's go..."
Zhu Qiniang understood what Gao Xian meant, and she said, "We have a conflict with Xu Lingyun, so don't say too much when you go there."
The two men changed into robes, wore swords, and then took a car to the Law Enforcement Hall together.
The Law Enforcement Hall is located in the northern district of Lianyun City. It has two vermilion gates, tall dark red brick walls, and an open square in front of the gates.
It was the coldest time of the year. Two teams of law enforcement practitioners stood guarding the door, each of them as cold and hard as a stone statue.
This place is called the Law Enforcement Hall, and is actually responsible for managing various affairs of Lianyun City. On weekdays, people come and go, and it is quite lively.
It was Gao Xian's first time here. When he and Qiniang arrived, there were already more than ten cars parked in the square.
"Ren Baichao, Li Yunze, Lu Lingfei, Zhang Chunjiang, Yuan Chongguang, Yun Feiying, they are all here..."
Zhu Qinnan often dealt with other foundation-building cultivators and recognized the origins of many vehicles at a glance.
Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. With so many foundation-building cultivators here, it was obvious that this incident was not aimed at him and Qiniang alone.
He was a little confused. With so many foundation-building cultivators gathered together, was there anything that couldn't be handled at Jinxia Peak? Why did they have to come to the Law Enforcement Hall?
When the two entered the atrium, they saw that there were already quite a few people standing there.
Gao Xian only knew Zhang Chunjiang, and he could recognize the others even though he had never seen them. These foundation-building cultivators each had their own characteristics and were very recognizable.
The oldest monk with a head full of white hair is undoubtedly Ren Baichao. The youngest woman is Yun Feiying.
It is said that this girl is a relative of Yun Taihao, but outsiders don't know what the specific relationship is.
Yun Feiying was very handsome, with bright eyes and a well-proportioned figure. He wore a blue robe, stood with a sword in hand, and kept a certain distance from others.
This woman looked very young, like she was in her twenties. She had a kind of aloof and arrogant temperament, which was quite different from Qi Niang's deep and cold temperament.
The only two left are Lu Lingfei and Yuan Chongguang, both of whom look relatively young and show strong vitality.
Like Zhang Chunjiang and his ilk, these foundation-building cultivators who are over a hundred years old all have an air of old age that cannot be concealed.
Even someone as strong as Wang Chuan is the same.
No matter how powerful your cultivation is, you cannot violate the laws of life.
Gao Xian was deeply touched by this. The younger you are, the better it is to build your foundation. Younger people have stronger vitality and have enough potential and time to practice.
After completing the foundation building at an advanced age, all potential has been exhausted and there is no possibility of making further progress.
Several foundation-building monks were also looking at Gao Xian. As Zhu Qinnan's lover and a very capable alchemist, Gao Xian was quite famous in Lianyun Sect.
But Gao Xian rarely goes out, and few people have seen him.
Yuan Chongguang and Lu Lingfei looked at Gao Xian curiously, and their attitudes were relatively friendly. Whenever their eyes met Gao Xian's, they would nod slightly.
Yun Feiying glanced at Gao Xian and immediately looked away. Her face remained expressionless, but she was sighing in her heart: "No wonder Gao Xian can be the concubine of a foundation-building cultivator, he has the capital to do so!"
There were many foundation-building monks present, each with his own demeanor, and among them, Yuan Chongguang was very handsome. But compared to Gao Xian, he was obviously much inferior.
In addition, Gao Xian was tall and straight, almost as tall as Zhu Qiniang. He had deep facial features and slender limbs. He stood in a green robe and with a sword. His elegant and graceful posture was like a crane flying in the clouds or a jade tree in the wind.
Yun Feiying had to admit that among the many powerful people she had seen, he was the best in terms of appearance and demeanor.
Although Zhu Qiniang is stronger than men, she still has good vision! Most of the foundation-building cultivators have a good impression of Gao Xian. Not to mention his character and talent, but his appearance is indeed attractive.
Of course, Zhang Chunjiang was definitely full of malice towards Gao Xian. He glanced at Gao Xian with a rather gloomy expression.
When Xu Lingyun got into trouble, he first suspected Zhu Qiniang of being the one behind it. This woman had both the ability and the courage! What made him angry was that Wang Chuan didn't believe him and didn't arrest Zhu Qiniang for questioning.
Facing Zhang Chunjiang's malicious face, Gao Xian politely nodded. Gao Xian's polite gesture made Zhang Chunjiang even more uncomfortable!
If he wants to move to a deserted place, he will slap Gao Xian to death with one palm and see how that kid can continue to pretend!
Of course Gao Xian could see that Zhang Chunjiang was very angry, but he was laughing in his heart. This old guy was getting anxious!
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
It's a pity that he didn't say a word when he killed Xu Lingyun, nor did he show his face. This guy died in an unclear way...
Wang Chuan walked out of the open hall and waved to Yun Feiying: "Feiying, come in."
When they saw Wang Chuan appear, everyone's expressions tensed.
Yun Feiying responded and followed Wang Chuan into the open hall.
The door of the open hall was open, and everyone standing in the atrium could see clearly that a huge bronze mirror as tall as a person had appeared inside at some point.
Wang Chuan asked Yun Feiying to stand in front of the bronze mirror. He asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything to do with Xu Lingyun's death?"
Yun Feiying answered simply: "No."
On the huge bronze mirror opposite Yun Feiying, Yun Feiying's appearance was reflected. The difference was that the aura around Yun Feiying in the bronze mirror flickered and changed slightly.
Although the many foundation-building monks standing in the atrium did not understand what the bronze mirror was, they roughly guessed its function.
A look of joy suddenly appeared on Zhang Chunjiang's face. He glanced at Zhu Qinnan with some pride, thinking, let's see where you can run this time!
Zhu Qiniang looked calm, but she felt something was wrong. She exchanged glances with Gao Xian and asked him what he meant. If this bronze mirror could distinguish between truth and lies, Gao Xian would be exposed.
Gao Xian was indeed frightened, and his first thought was to run as far as he could.
But with so many foundation-building cultivators at the scene, could they really escape? Moreover, Yun Taihao should be staying in a room nearby.
Gao Xian did not use the Flower-Appraising Mirror. It was unwise to use the secret technique in front of so many great foundation-building monks.
If Yun Taihao were here, his snooping would also attract Yun Taihao's attention.
Judging from Yun Feiying's situation, this bronze mirror cannot directly see a person's consciousness.
Based on his understanding of the world of cultivators, only Yuanying Zhenjun can touch people's soul consciousness with his spiritual consciousness. Jindan Zhenren does not have this ability.
It is easy to destroy a person's soul, but it is very troublesome to detect his inner thoughts.
Generally speaking, only by using powerful means to confuse the cultivator's soul can the cultivator be forced to reveal information himself.
It was because Gao Xian had an understanding of the various powers of cultivators that he dared to kill Xu Lingyun.
Looking at the changes in the bronze mirror, it is more like a lie detector. That is, it monitors the cultivator's mana and consciousness to determine the truth of what is said.
The ability to transform into a being can easily imitate other people's consciousness, which means that one has a subtle and detailed control over the consciousness.
In addition, Sister Lan's Taizhen idol god controls his sea of consciousness. He doesn't believe that anyone can forcibly break through his spiritual protection and peek into his heart.
Gao Xian didn't move or speak. Yun Taihao was right beside him, and any slight movement or expression might be noticed by him.
Zhu Qinnan and Gao Xian had been together for such a long time, but she didn't get a response from Gao Xian, so she immediately understood what Gao Xian meant.
Since Gao Xian had made the decision, she would go along with him. If Gao Xian was really exposed, they would just die together.
With this realization, she quickly calmed down. This matter had nothing to do with her. She did not do it, nor was she the instigator, and she didn't even know the process of the action. This level was not difficult for her.
Zhu Qinnan looked at the other foundation-building cultivators again. The inner sect elders all looked calm, but the outer sect elders looked unhappy.
Obviously, they had not expected this kind of test and were very resistant to it.
Wang Chuan in the open hall asked again in a deep voice: "Are you related to the Seven Evil Sect?"
Yun Feiying said categorically: "No."
Wang Chuan nodded politely to Yun Feiying and said, "Go out, let's take the next one."
Yun Feiying came out of the open hall. She glanced at the faces of many foundation-building practitioners and noticed that several outer sect elders had unhappy expressions.
She sneered in her heart, thinking that these outer sect elders must have something to hide, at least they are not that loyal to the sect!
Wang Chuan said loudly from inside: "Gao Xian, come in."
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Gao Xian, and Zhang Chunjiang couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.
Gao Xian nodded to Zhu Qiniang, then he walked calmly into the open hall and came to the huge bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror was so bright that it could reflect Gao Xian's entire body.
Gao Xian looked at himself in the bronze mirror and suddenly had a somewhat unconventional thought: This guy is so handsome! He couldn't help but laugh. The handsome and tall man in the mirror also smiled at the same time, with a pair of eyes flickering with divine light, as bright as stars.
