Chapter 452 Search Required, Self-Proof



For a moment, there was silence in the bedroom.

Shengxuzi remained silent, indicating that what the elder had just said was correct.

——The person who killed Tianquan escaped to Tianya Peak in the northwest.

It also means that the murderous demon cultivator is hiding in the other three major sects and families. The people in the hall had received the message at Tianya Peak and rushed here. Each of them is a suspect.

The elders of Tiandao looked at each other. Since the ancestor has already traced the clues of the murderer, they will search Tianya Peak from top to bottom to find the evil cultivator who killed the sect leader!

The Tiandao Sect's Great Elder made a prompt decision and said to Shengxuzi, "I suggest that we immediately send people to Tianya Peak to search and find the demon cultivator who killed our Sect Master!"

"Not only will Tianya Peak be strictly investigated, but everyone who comes to the main peak's bedroom from Tianya Peak will also have their identity checked and self-identified. Only in this way can it be considered a thorough investigation and the suspicious person can be found!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.

The elders of the three major sects and the aristocratic families began to discuss the matter. Some were unhappy, while others said that it should be so and should be supported.

The unhappy people were not guilty, but they felt that they had rushed here as soon as they received the message. They had good intentions, but were still suspected.

Shengxuzi pondered for a moment, then suppressed his emotions and slowly said: "Everyone, what the elder said is exactly what I meant."

"The demon cultivator is rampant, and dared to sneak into my sect to kill my disciple. I swear to find this person and make him receive the punishment he deserves. I can only temporarily inconvenience everyone present."

"I hereby assure you that I will not wrongly accuse any innocent person."

After saying that, he turned to look at the great elder beside him and instructed: "Immediately take people to Tianya Peak to search and question. If you find anyone suspicious, arrest them on the spot."

"As for everyone in the hall, in addition to verifying your identities, please state your whereabouts at the time of the incident to eliminate your suspicion."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Patriarch Shengxuzi has spoken, so who would dare not cooperate? They can only say that they are unlucky. If they had just left after appreciating the Star-Moon Spiritual Pool, this situation wouldn't have happened.

The Great Elder led people to Tianya Peak. The Second Elder and the Third Elder were in charge of the hall. They selected three trustworthy people from the three major sects to investigate together, including Yu Zheng.

As a member of the Yu family who is in the Mahayana stage and has some Phoenix blood, he even shouted that he would kill the disciples who were practicing magic in secret when Tianquan set up a magic array to lure demons. This is enough to show that Yu Zheng hates magic practitioners deeply.

It is precisely because of these points that anyone could not believe that Yu Zheng was practicing magic in secret, even though Yu Zheng was in the Mahayana stage and even had the ability to kill Tian Quan.

But in order to eliminate suspicion, Yu Zheng still proved himself.

"When the incident happened, I was drinking tea with Sect Master Yun, the Patriarch of the Yun Family, and the Patriarch of the Mo Family. In addition to being able to prove myself, I can also prove the innocence of the two of them."

Yun Shu smiled slightly: "Yes, this sect master was indeed with the Grand Elder and the head of the Mo family when the incident happened."

The head of the Mo family said: "I did drink tea with the two of you, and we went to the main peak together after the ritual."

After Yun Shu and the head of the Mo family finished talking, they were still checked by the second and third elders of the Tiandao Sect to see if there was any demonic energy in their bodies. It was obvious that it was not easy to fool them.

The investigation and questioning continued. Yu Xingwu looked at everyone being questioned one by one and suddenly felt unsure and became flustered.

Especially when he saw Yu Zheng looking at Shen Zhuo from time to time, his eyes were so targeted that he became even more nervous.

She was not worried that Shen Zhuo had not detected whether there was any demonic energy in his body. The demon seed and the Taoist fetus could not detect demonic energy at all. She was worried that Shen Zhuo could not prove where he was when the incident happened.

And there is no way to collude.

The reason was that when she met Shen Zhuo, Shen Zhuo had just met Feng Chen and Ye Su not long ago. Even if he wanted to collude with them, he couldn't, because there were so many people from various sects and families staying overnight at Tianya Peak.

When Shen Zhuo returned to the mountain and met Feng Chen and Ye Su, he must have been seen by others.

Who knows, there might be a disciple at Tianya Peak who would tell this matter when questioned, so there is no way to tell lies.

But once the truth is told, everyone will know that Shen Zhuo returned to Tianya Peak only after the alarm sounded.

This made it hard not to be suspicious, so how could she not panic?

But when he met Shen Zhuo's light-colored eyes, he felt that he was extremely calm. Judging from the look and posture, anyone who said that he killed someone would seem to be slandering him.

Yu Zheng didn't think so.

In Yu Zheng's opinion, Shen Zhuo was just pretending and was already extremely panicked inside.

If you kill someone, how can you prove that you were not there when the incident happened? No one can prove it!

Yu Zheng raised the corner of his lips slightly and walked step by step to Shen Zhuo. Although he was obviously shorter than Shen Zhuo, he maintained a condescending attitude.

Only when he looked at Yu Xingwu did his aura subside somewhat.

If his Jiaojiao had not been here, he would have been worried that Jiaojiao would hate him and would not forgive him, so he would have definitely exposed Shen Zhuo's identity directly!

But sometimes, direct exposure is more convincing than suspicion.

Although he could not prove that Shen Zhuo was carrying a demon seed, he could make people suspicious.

Even if Jiaojiao still holds a grudge against him, it is better than exposing him directly. Let her hold a grudge against him, but his daughter cannot be with a demon no matter what.

When the second and third elders of Tiandao Sect saw Yu Zheng directly pass Feng Chen and stand in front of Shen Zhuo, they followed him.

Although the two elders were not gossipers, they knew that Yu Zheng had even mistakenly identified his own daughter. When Yu Zheng announced Yu Yuefu's identity to the public, the two elders also went to Tianlan Sect to celebrate.

He also knew that Yu Zheng had fallen out with his own daughter, and he looked down on this boy in the fusion stage with thunder spiritual roots.

After all, he is a disciple of Fengchen Sword Master, and has a rare thunder spiritual root. Now he has the strength of the fusion stage. How come he is not in Yu Zheng's eyes?

He had to make his own daughter caught in the middle. If it were them, they would have agreed to the two of them being together long ago, and the sooner they got married, the better!

The two elders were only concerned with sighing in their hearts and did not suspect Shen Zhuo at all. Even the detection of the demonic energy in his body was done casually as if it were a formality.

This was because both of them knew that Shen Zhuo was meditating in the center of the magic-attracting formation on the Fenghua Stage. If he was practicing magic in secret, he would have been exposed along with those people long ago.

He even forgot to ask where the person was when the incident happened. After all, how could the person who could kill their sect leader be a disciple? He must be an elder from a certain sect or family who was practicing magic in secret!

Just when Yu Xingwu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen Zhuo had avoided questioning, the two elders were stopped by Yu Zheng.

Yu Xingwu’s pupils trembled, and she thought to herself - It’s bad!

Then Yu Zheng said, "Two elders, everyone, tonight at Fenghuatai, do you remember what I said, at the disciple-recruiting banquet, I accepted a disciple as my disciple."

"I thought that person was quite talented and was a good match for me, but I never thought that he was actually the son of the current demon leader!"

"There is one more thing that I forgot to tell you. The appearance of the Demon Sect's young master is about 70% similar to the Sword Master's second disciple. At that time, I even suspected that the two were related by blood, which is why they look so similar."

"Now that Brother Tianquan has been murdered by a demon cultivator, the two elders must not let go of any suspect."
