Chapter 359: Conscience Bureau
The Great Elder ignored him, stared at Yun Qingqing, and said sternly:
"Qi Men Dun Jia is the unique skill of our Seven Stars Palace, never passed on to outsiders. Where did you learn it from?"
He had only heard it from the people of Tianxuan Sect before, but he didn't actually believe it in his heart.
I just thought it was some unconventional magic disguised as Qimen Dunjia, and outsiders didn't understand it so they misjudged it.
But this one...these elders could recognize it at a glance, it was indeed their sect's Qimen Dunjia technique!
Then we must not ignore it!
"Huh? This is... Qimen Dunjia?"
Many young disciples of the Seven Stars Hall were surprised, and their eyes looked at Yun Qingqing differently.
Many of them were still inexperienced and had only heard of the Qi Men Dun Jia but had never even seen it. They never expected that it would be used in front of outsiders.
Especially those disciples who were guarding the mountain and had been abused by Yun Qingqing, their gazes turned to the elders. After seeing the elders' expressions of disbelief, the disciples suddenly felt a little more balanced.
Yun Qingqing's eyes flashed, and she raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Oh, then you don't have to worry about my secret skills being leaked. I figured it out on my own."
"Ridiculous!" the Great Elder said coldly, "Don't blame me if you don't tell the truth..."
"You're not being polite, are you?" Yun Qingqing interrupted him calmly, "Before you blame others for stealing your family's unique skills, why don't you open your eyes and take a closer look at what this situation is!"
The Great Elder's expression paused, and then he looked carefully at the array pattern on the ground. The anger in his eyes suddenly turned into surprise.
The four elders beside him had already loudly told him the answer.
"A Bureau of Integrity...? Senior Brother, this is truly a Bureau of Integrity!"
The other elders were also stunned.
Not to mention them, everyone present in the Seven Stars Palace, from top to bottom, had a strange look on their faces when they heard the words "Bureau of Inquiry into Conscience".
Most of the people were stunned, and the rest were either gasping or sucking their teeth.
Qing Pingzi also suddenly understood. He looked at the Great Elder in disbelief and asked:
"Is this Conscience Bureau... what I thought it meant?"
The Great Elder took a deep breath, calmed down his shock, and said in a deep voice:
"That's right. My sect's Heart-Searching Formation is a simplified version of the 'Heart-Searching Formation' from the 1,080th Form of Qi Men Dun Jia. The biggest difference is that there's no limit on the number of players!"
Hearing what he said, Qingpingzi also took a breath.
The Seven Star Hall's Heart-Searching Formation is well-known throughout the Xuanmen.
Those who enter the formation must not say one thing and mean another when asked any question, otherwise they will be struck by lightning!
However, only one person is allowed to enter the Heart-Searching Formation at a time; entering more than one person will be invalid.
Even so, it is already an existence that defies the heaven in the entire Xuanmen.
After all, many sects have things similar to mantra talismans, but there are also many ways to restrain them. If you encounter a more sophisticated person from the Xuanmen, they may dissolve it silently, thus achieving the purpose of deception.
The Heart-Searching Formation would never resort to trickery or deception.
Therefore, many important matters in the Xuanmen world, in order to prevent people with bad intentions from sneaking in, are held in the Seven Star Hall, using formations to examine one's conscience and eliminate hidden dangers.
Only at this moment did Qing Pingzi realize that there was an even more incredible game of Questioning the Conscience in Qi Men Dun Jia!
Yun Qingqing looked at the complicated expressions of the elders of the Seven Stars Hall and repeated her words word by word:
"I say, I figured out this Qi Men Dun Jia by myself. Is there a problem?"
The elders: ...
This is a big problem.
But they have looked carefully and found that what they are standing on their feet is definitely their own sect's Qimen Dunjia and the Bureau of Questioning Conscience!
No matter how absurd her words sound, they cannot be false, which leaves people speechless.
"I've answered one of your questions. Now it's my turn." Yun Qingqing's gaze fell on Cang Huai and asked in a cold voice, "What was the purpose of you and Qing Xuanzi setting up the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Formation in Pingzhou?"
Cang Huai's face turned pale.
He swayed, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He closed his eyes and fell to the ground motionless.
"Cang Huai!" Qingpingzi was shocked.
"Senior Brother Cang Huai!" Cang Rong immediately squatted down to check on him. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Senior Brother, is this... did you lose too much blood and faint?"
"Oh, you fainted at this time?" Yun Qingqing sneered, "Cang Huai, listen carefully, if you are still conscious, get up and answer me within ten breaths! If you are conscious and don't answer, it will be a deception!"
"Cang Huai, are you awake now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden ripple spread out from under her feet, and the entire formation made a low "humming" sound.
The sound was mysterious and unpredictable. It didn't sound like something you heard in your ears, but rather it drilled directly into everyone's brain, causing a sudden sense of awe to rise in people's hearts.
Everyone in the formation understood one thing at the same time. What Yun Qingqing just said was also a question!
If Cang Huai is conscious but pretends to faint to avoid questioning, he will be retaliated by the Inquiry Bureau!
"Four more breaths." Yun Qingqing stared at Cang Huai, and her clear voice struck everyone's heart like a bell telling the time.
The Bureau of Inquiry suddenly emitted a low roar, as if thunder was coming from far away.
As they looked at the cloudless sky, they felt more and more in awe.
Most people present had never seen the Heart-Searching Bureau, but they had all seen or heard of the Heart-Searching Array.
If the search for conscience fails, the formation will gather five thunderbolts on its own without borrowing the power of heaven and earth!
Cang Huai's body trembled, but he still did not open his eyes.
"Heh." Yun Qingqing sneered and counted down.
“Three, two…”
The last "one" had not yet ended when Canghuai suddenly jumped up like a stranded fish!
"I, I'm awake! Awake! Don't chop!"
The roar of the formation subsided, Cang Huai was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
Everyone present looked at him with a bit of scrutiny.
Qing Ping Zi didn't need Yun Qing Qing to speak again, and asked:
"Cang Huai, what is the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Formation? What exactly are you and Qing Xuanzi doing in Pingzhou?"
"I...my master and I..." Cang Huai collapsed on the ground with a dejected look on his face, finally realizing that the game was hopeless.
He exhaled slowly and suddenly laughed softly. The laughter was strange and crazy, which made Qingpingzi frown.
Yun Qingqing suddenly said in a cold voice:
"Even if you self-destruct now, you can't hide your soul, Cang Huai, you can't escape."
Canghuai's laughter got stuck in his throat, and he suddenly looked up and glared at her.
But she cut the sleeve of the half arm that fell on the ground with a sword and kicked the arm in front of him.
Cang Huai was stunned and his face suddenly changed!
There should have been a brand on the severed half of the arm, but now it is gone!
"No, impossible... This is impossible!!!"
Cang Huai's face was filled with horror. He crawled over to pick up the broken arm and looked at it over and over again, but he couldn't find the brand.
"No... This is a soul seal! Forget about a broken arm... Even if the body is separated from the head, it shouldn't disappear... How could this happen..."
"Yes, it's a soul seal." Yun Qingqing's indifferent voice sounded, "So as long as you sever the connection between your soul and it, it will naturally disappear."
Cang Huai trembled all over, raised his head in a daze, and his face became completely dejected.
"How is it possible... can you even do such a thing... who are you..."
Yun Qingqing interrupted his mumbling in a cold voice:
"Now it's your turn to answer. What exactly are you and Qing Xuanzi going to do in Pingzhou?"
