“Vice Sect Master Yao, according to what you’re saying, if soone in our Sun and Moon Divine Sect were to die under the Gold Elent Sword Skill, wouldn’t the murderer be identified as you, Vice Sect Master Yao?” Ye Zhen suddenly let out a snicker!
“How dare you!”
Yao Sen’s face sank, and he abruptly pointed his finger at Ye Zhen and angrily shouted, “You dare to quibble…”
“Hahahahaha, well said!”
Before Vice Sect Master Yao Sen could finish speaking, a hearty laugh ca from the sky, interrupting him.
“Vice Sect Master Yao, what Ye Zhen said is not wrong at all!
Last month, a deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall did indeed die under the Gold Elent Sword Skill, and the murderer has not been found!
I wonder, could it be the doing of Vice Sect Master Yao himself?”
Amidst the laughter, Vice Sect Master Tian Guizhang descended from the sky, stood beside Ye Zhen.
“Elder Tus!”
Tian Guizhang gave a cupped fist salute to Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De, showing the latter’s high status within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
“Vice Sect Master Tian, framing a high-ranking official of the Divine Sect is a serious cri!” Yao Sen’s sinister voice rang out.
“If my thod of deducing the murderer is called framing when applied to Vice Sect Master Yao, then what is it when Vice Sect Master Yao uses this thod to conclude that Ye Zhen is the murderer of Yu Huaisong?”
“Besides, Yu Huaisong was a First Stage of Vein Forging Realm powerhouse, whereas Ye Zhen’s Cultivation is rely at the First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm,” chuckled Tian Guizhang.
“That’s different!”
Yao Sen shouted angrily and waved his hand furiously, “Apart from martial skills, we have other evidence!
Ye Zhen has been the only one to bear a grudge against Yu Huaisong in recent days, and before this, Ye Zhen had beaten Yu Huaisong unconscious twice in broad daylight.
And this just happens to prove that Ye Zhen had the ability to kill Yu Huaisong!”
“Ye Zhen beating Yu Huaisong unconscious twice, to the point of fainting, good, good, good, hahaha!” Suddenly, Tian Guizhang burst into laughter, laughing so hard that Yao Sen and Jiao Xi’s faces turned red with embarrassnt.
For the community of martial artists, it would be a laughing stock for a First Stage of Vein Forging Realm powerhouse to be beaten unconscious by a martial artist in the First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, and if this got out, Yu Huaisong would indeed be a joke for centuries.
“Vice Sect Master Tian, have you laughed enough?
If so, I must take the suspect Ye Zhen to the Punishnt Hall for interrogation to find the real killer!” Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De suddenly spoke.
“Elder Tus, I don’t understand, how has Ye Zhen beco a suspect?
Do you have evidence?” Faced with Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De, Tian Guizhang did not dare to be too presumptuous.
“Evidence, didn’t Vice Sect Master Yao just ntion it?” said Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De.
“Elder Tus, that counts as evidence?
Yu Huaisong’s notoriety is well known within the Divine Sect, known to all as Lord Yua for his bullying ways, and he made a lot of enemies.
Gentlen can wait ten years to avenge a grievance, so doesn’t that an any mber bullied by Yu Huaisong is a suspect?”
“And as for the Finger Technique, anyone who has reached the Soul Sea Realm and above can perform one or two Finger Techniques.
There are many in the sect who are proficient in Finger Techniques!
For example, Hall Master Fengh is skilled in Finger Techniques, so is she also a suspect?” Tian Guizhang argued on behalf of Ye Zhen.
“Right, Vice Sect Master Yao also knows the Soul Chasing Finger Technique, so does that place him among the list of murderers too?”
It must be said that Tian Guizhang’s arguntative skills were astonishing; a few words from him turned Ye Zhen’s disadvantage around, overturning the evidence claid by Yao Sen.
This put Jiao Xi in great urgency and Vice Sect Master Yao in a rage, but both of them, as well as everyone else, turned their gazes to Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De.
In the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, the Punishnt Hall had great authority.
Any serious violations against the sect rules were handled by the Punishnt Hall, with limited interference from even the vice sect masters.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De spoke slowly.
“Vice Sect Master Tian, your argunt does have so rit!
However, today I must take Ye Zhen in for a detailed interrogation!” Tus De stated.
“Why?” Tian Guizhang furrowed his brows.
“Vice Sect Master Tian, the death of Yu Huaisong is of great importance!
Yu Huaisong was himself a Sun and Moon Divine Guard, an important identity, and he was killed while on duty.
Although Yu Huaisong’s post was not at the core of the Divine Sect, it still concerns the security of the sect!
As it concerns the security of the sect, I naturally cannot overlook any clues, no matter how small.
Please understand, Vice Sect Master Tian.”
Having said that, Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De waved his hand, ready to give the order to apprehend soone.
“Wait!”
Tian Guizhang was frantic, as being part of the sect, he knew full well what the Punishnt Hall of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was like and that it involved the safety of the Punishnt Hall, so if Ye Zhen was to go in, even if he was acquitted of suspicion, his path in Martial Arts would likely be destroyed.
“Hmm?” Seeing Tian Guizhang’s intervention, Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De’s brows rose, and the Blood-clothed Martial Artists around him automatically unveiled a fearso aura as it burst forth from Tus De.
“Vice Sect Master Tian, are you trying to prevent from performing my official duties?”
Almost at the sa ti, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows also knitted together, seeing the complications unfold.
He had begun to grasp the intricacies of the situation.
Regardless of how Yu Huaisong died, if he were really taken to the Punishnt Hall, the thods of interrogation among martial artists were not sothing just anyone could withstand, and they could inflict trendous damage on a martial artist.
Moreover, it appeared that Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De and Yao Sen were close, and if Ye Zhen truly fell into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In an instant, Ye Zhen had prepared for the worst.
His Divine Sense moved, already sinking into the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, with the Geomagnetic Field ready to be activated at any mont.
Another thread of Divine Sense also imrsed itself inside the storage ring, covering the Demon Cloud Fruit in an almost imperceptible manner.
If Tian Guizhang really couldn’t protect him, then Ye Zhen would have to take a risky move.
Ye Zhen had no intention of leaving his fate in the hands of others.
Almost at the very mont Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense stirred, Moonlight Hall Master Fengh Qingyue’s gaze shifted, glanced at Ye Zhen, and startled him.
“I would not dare!
Elder Tus, there is sothing you must be inford of!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Elder Tus, Ye Zhen’s status within the sect is extrely important, not soone we can afford to disturb lightly!”
Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De glanced sidelong at Ye Zhen and asked, “What status does he have, Vice Sect Master Tian, please speak clearly!”
“In half a year, he is one of our Divine Sect’s selected participants for the Spirit Returning Assembly!”
Before Tian Guizhang could finish speaking, Vice Sect Master Yao Sen snickered first, “Vice Sect Master Tian, are you letting a First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm martial artist represent our Sun and Moon Divine Sect in the Spirit Returning Assembly?
Are you suggesting that our Divine Sect has no one else?”
“Within our Divine Sect, we have a plethora of Vein Forging Realm powerhouses under thirty, and countless Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, why would we need him?”
“However, the only First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm martial artist who can consecutively knock out First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm powerhouses until they faint is Ye Zhen alone!”
As these words ca out, Vice Sect Master Yao Sen’s laughing expression suddenly stiffened, as if his vital point had been hit, looking very unsightly!
Had it not been that Jiao Xi was one of his most faithful subordinates, he would never have taken up the cause for a useless person like Yua Huaisong.
“Vice Sect Master Tian, the martial artists participating in the Spirit Returning Assembly within our Divine Sect have already been temporarily decided, and as far as I recall, there wasn’t a person nad Ye Zhen, was there?
Is there a talisman from the Sect Hierarch as proof?”
“This…
has not yet been reported to the Sect Hierarch…” Tian Guizhang’s face suddenly turned very unsightly.
Upon hearing this, Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De’s deadpan face suddenly chilled, “Since that’s the case, Vice Sect Master Tian, I apologize for the offense!”
“Seize Ye Zhen!”
As the command was issued, two Blood-clothed Martial Artists behind Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De suddenly turned into a streak of blood light and pounced towards Ye Zhen, and almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s nerves also tensed to the extre.
With a flicker of his Divine Sense, the geomagnetic field readied to activate.
But at that instant, an icy jade hand abruptly grasped Ye Zhen’s wrist, and an overwhelming force suddenly weighed down on Ye Zhen’s body.
In the blink of an eye, it felt as if a mountain had pressed onto Ye Zhen’s back, bending his spine and rendering him incapable of moving.
In that mont, Ye Zhen felt as if his soul was about to scatter.
At this critical mont, he was unexpectedly thwarted by soone, unable to escape, and could only watch helplessly as the Punishnt Hall Martial Artists ca to capture him.
“Don’t move!”
The voice of Moonlight Hall Master Fengh Qingyue drilled into Ye Zhen’s ear at the sa ti.
Almost at the sa ti, Fengh Qingyue took a small step forward, shielding Ye Zhen, blocking the path of the two Punishnt Hall Martial Artists who were coming to seize him.
“Hold on!” Fengh Qingyue lightly commanded.
Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De’s brows uncontrollably trembled, and a cold killing qi fiercely dispersed.
“Good, good, good!
To capture a re Soul Sea Realm martial artist, yet to face sustained obstruction three tis, it seems that the mbers of the Divine Sect have forgotten the reputation of the Punishnt Hall given its rare intervention!”
“When the Punishnt Hall is acting, any who dare obstruct will be killed without rcy!” Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De suddenly shouted sternly, with terrifying Divine Soul Power locking onto Fengh Qingyue.
Yet Fengh Qingyue remained unfazed, speaking gently, “Elder Tus, please forgive for interrupting you.
The main reason I’m preventing you is that I may be able to prove that Ye Zhen is not the murderer of Yua Huaisong!”
“How can you prove it?”
“Because from yesterday evening until this morning, Ye Zhen has been with the entire ti, never leaving my side,” Fengh Qingyue said.
“What?”
Upon hearing this, Vice Sect Master Yao Sen and the Third Commander of the Sun and Moon Divine Guards Jiao Xi’s faces changed simultaneously.
Not only them, but even Tian Guizhang looked at Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue with an incredulous gaze, finding it hard to believe that this could be true.
“This…”
Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De’s brows tightly knitted.
“May I ask Elder Tus, what ti did Yua Huaisong die?” Fengh Qingyue inquired.
“He was found by his colleagues at sunrise during the shift change, and his corpse had already turned cold and rigid, with blood coagulated.
The ti of death should be around the Hour of Chou earlier this morning,” Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De stated.
This was also in keeping with Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De’s style, adhering strictly to principle without pretense.
“Then Ye Zhen couldn’t possibly be the suspect!” Fengh Qingyue declared.
Tus De’s expression suddenly beca sowhat helpless, or rather, resigned.
As the Moonlight Hall Master, Fengh Qingyue’s cultivation was exceptional, making her one of the real high-ranking magnates of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
If Tus De, the Elder of the Punishnt Hall, did not trust even the words of Fengh Qingyue or accept her testimony, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was likely to beco chaotic, with endless internal strife and accusations.
Moreover, judging by the reactions of everyone present, none seed to be pretense.
“Very well, since Hall Master Fengh has testified, then Ye Zhen should no longer be a suspect…
Let’s go!” With a flourish of his blood-colored cape, Punishnt Hall Elder Tus De wrapped himself in a blood light and swiftly departed.
Inside the Moonlight Hall, only Vice Sect Master Yao Sen and Jiao Xi, the Third Commander of the Sun and Moon Divine Guards, were left standing there stupefied, their faces a picture of disbelief.
Of course, there was also Ye Zhen, equally shocked, yet not daring to show even the slightest hint of it!
