After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 417 Who is the murderer (Part )
When Pei Yun and his companions arrived at the dungeon of Jueqing Cliff, they met Liang Feng and his companions.
"Pei Yun..." Before Fu Lingchen had the time to ask about the situation on Pei Yun's side, he saw the master's son and the old man's eldest disciple open the cell where An Jueran was held.
Pei Yun and the other three looked over curiously, and heard the man ask, "An Jueran, you said that Elder Ju wanted to teach you the martial arts before he died. Did he take out the martial arts secret manual at that time?"
An Jueran sat cross-legged on the ground, his face as cold as ever, his eyes closed and seemingly indifferent. After a long while, he said two words: "No."
Fu Lingchen whispered in Pei Yun's ear: "Could it be that Master An Jueran's death is related to the secret manual of martial arts?"
Pei Yun hesitated for a moment: "...Maybe."
The calm and composed girl, the eldest disciple of the old man, also spoke up: "Junior Brother An, we suspect that Master's death is related to the secret manual in his hand. If you have any clues, please tell us. Only in this way can you clear your name..."
An Jueran raised his eyes and glanced at the woman with his deep eyes: "Master only said this to me, but after I finished drinking the tea, I fell asleep. When I woke up, Master was dead..."
After hearing An Jueran's explanation, the man did not believe it. He showed an impatient expression on his face and did not want to pretend anymore: "Since you said you don't have it, hand over the storage magic weapon and we will check it."
Hearing this, Pei Yun and the others frowned at the man's overbearing request, but unexpectedly, An Jueran did not resist at all. He directly took off the storage ring in his hand, wiped off the mark on it, and handed it to him.
The two men were obviously also surprised. An Jueran usually kept to himself, kept people at a distance, and was aloof and cold, but now he was so "obedient".
However, they quickly checked and found that there were very few things in the storage ring, and the martial arts secrets were all very ordinary.
The man and woman stared at An Jueran coldly for a while, and when they saw that they could not find any clues from him, they finally left empty-handed.
Pei Yun briefly told the three of them what she had seen. After the two sides communicated, Pei Yun detected through her spiritual sense that after the man and the woman broke up, he went to where her father lived. She thought about it, and followed the man again with Ye Chi.
The inner room of the palace on the top of the mountain——
"Father, I have investigated and interrogated An Jueran, but I have not found any information related to that technique..."
After hearing his son's words, the Wan Dao Sect's head rubbed his brows, sighed and said, "It seems that the old man has hidden the secret manual very deep. Anyway, it's my bad luck to have it..."
"Father, aren't we going to continue investigating? And why did Elder Ju die?"
"The old man just mentioned this secret manual verbally. Who knows what kind of martial arts it is? I have many secret manuals of martial arts in Wandao Sect. I am not so obsessed with one martial arts manual..."
The head of the sect said, "But this matter is very strange. Only I and a few of his disciples have heard him mention this technique. Others don't know about it. His life is coming to an end, and the other elders have no reason to kill him. Who killed him?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden sound outside the door. Both people in the room were startled: "Come in!"
"Master." The visitor was the elder who was investigating the cause of the old man's death. He bowed respectfully and said, "We searched An Jueran's room and found the Ecstasy Powder he had hidden."
"what?!"
"Did An Jueran really kill his master?"
The people present actually did not believe that An Jueran had the ability to kill Elder Ju before, but now that physical evidence has been found, they have to doubt it.
The head of Wan Dao Sect gave the order: "Gather all the elders and Elder Ju's disciples tomorrow morning to interrogate An Jueran at the Judgment Platform of Jue Qing Cliff."
"Yes."
When Pei Yun heard this, he couldn't help but ask Ye Chi beside him: "So they will execute An Jueran tomorrow?"
Ye Chi nodded and said, "So you only have one night to break this situation. Below the Cliff of Absolute Love is a cave of dead bodies. The Wandao Sect executes its disciples by directly pushing them off the cliff. Tomorrow, An Jueran will be pushed off, oh no, he will jump off the cliff and die..."
"...How do you know there is a cave of dead bodies under the cliff? Have you ever been down there?"
"I heard it by chance from someone from the Wan Dao Sect. When I entered the 'Land of Memories' for the second time, I tried to jump off the cliff with An Jueran, but we didn't reach the bottom of the cliff and were teleported out directly..." Ye Chi told the truth.
Pei Yun became interested in the Cliff of Jueqing. She came to the Cliff again and reunited with Liang Feng and the other two. She told them what she had just learned.
"You want to jump off the cliff?!" Fu Lingchen saw Pei Yun standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down, eager to try.
"To be honest, I don't think An Jueran will die so easily, so I want to see what's going on below the cliff." Pei Yun said, "I used my spiritual sense to detect it, but before I could find the bottom of the cliff, I was blocked by the poisonous miasma. I want to go down and take a look myself..."
"We will go with you. If we are teleported out, we will be teleported out together. At most we can start over again..." Liang Feng said.
Pei Yun hesitated for a moment and nodded. With the Chaos Pearl, she was confident that she could still protect the three of them.
After the four of them agreed, they jumped off the cliff without any hesitation. Ye Chi followed Pei Yun silently...
Fortunately, this time they were not teleported away like what Ye Chi had encountered before. When they were still halfway to the bottom of the cliff, they were shrouded in a gray poisonous miasma, and they could not see the surroundings clearly with their spiritual sense or naked eyes.
As they got closer to the bottom of the cliff, the miasma became thicker. They were originally in the state of soul bodies, so they should not be affected by the miasma. Unexpectedly, this poisonous miasma was harmful to the soul. Fu Lingchen, who had the lowest cultivation, only felt as if his whole body was pierced by needles, and then it felt like he was burned by fire, and corroded by acid water...
Pei Yun quickly took out the Chaos Pearl, and the hazy golden light it emitted protected the three people.
Fu Lingchen breathed a sigh of relief; the pain and discomfort in his body were relieved under the cover of golden light.
After an unknown amount of time, the five people finally reached the bottom of the cliff. The poisonous miasma at the bottom of the cliff was the most serious. Only with the light emitted by the Chaos Pearl could they see clearly that there were bones everywhere under their feet.
Not only that, what gave everyone goosebumps was that these bones were covered with densely packed ugly and disgusting poisonous insects. These poisonous insects were drilling in and out of the bones. Even though Pei Yun and the others were in the state of soul bodies, they seemed to be able to sense their presence. If it weren't for the protection of the Chaos Pearl, they might have to fight a "fierce battle" with these poisonous insects.
Zhao Han said: "No wonder the people of Wandao Sect said that the bottom of Jueqing Cliff is a cave of dead. An Jueran does not have a treasure like the Chaos Pearl, and he is only in the foundation-building stage now. If he jumps off the cliff, he might really die here..."
At this time, Pei Yun pointed to the front not far away and said: "Look! Isn't there a cave in front? There seems to be a ray of light in it..."
A few people were cheered up and looked in the direction of her finger. Sure enough, they saw a cave with a faint light.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"
The five people walked towards the cave carefully. There was a barrier at the entrance of the cave. The cave was extremely clean, and poisonous insects and poisonous miasma were blocked outside by the barrier.
"Pei Yun, look at the wall of the cave!..." Fu Lingchen was surprised to find that there were words and paintings on the wall, which looked like a sword technique.
The others, including Ye Chi, were all startled and quickly moved to the cave wall that Fu Lingchen mentioned. Just as they were about to investigate carefully, suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the depths of the cave and attacked the five people...
"careful!"
Pei Yun reacted the fastest. With a thought, she used the mind-controlling technique to conjure up a huge palm to block the black shadow.
The shadow thrust forward with a sword in his hand, but he did not expect Pei Yun's mind control technique to be so powerful that he could not break the giant palm all at once. During the stalemate, a blood whip came towards him...
The black shadow was attacked from both sides and had to hide deep inside the cave.
"Chase!"
The five men pursued the enemy and came to the depths of the cave, only to find that the entire cave wall was engraved with words and paintings, and the walls were emitting a faint light.
At the same time, they also saw the black shadow that had just attacked them. It was a strange man. This black shadow was a remnant soul, so he could see them, and his soul seemed to be traumatized.
"How strange." Pei Yun looked at the black shadow in front of her, and felt a subtle sense of familiarity in her heart, but she was sure that she had never seen this person before. "Who are you?"
"I should be the one asking you this. This is my territory. What are you trying to do by breaking in?" the black shadow questioned.
At this moment, Fu Lingchen's attention was on the cave wall: "...The ruthless sword art, the practitioner must cut off all emotions, be heartless and emotionless..."
Liang Feng also read the words on the cave wall: "...The ruthless sword art is the supreme way. If you master this art, you can ascend to the upper realm..."
Pei Yun was shocked when she heard this. She suddenly thought of something. She turned her eyes and stared at the black shadow in front of her. Her disbelief gradually turned into disgust. She said, "I know how to crack this 'land of memories'!"
"Um?!"
As soon as she said this, the four of them looked at her in confusion: "How do we crack it?"
"We have to catch him first before we crack it!" Pei Yun looked at the black shadow in front of him with cold eyes.
……
At this moment, on the Cliff of Jueqing, the leader of the Wandao Sect brought all the elders and the old man's disciples to the execution platform, and An Jueran had been forced to kneel in front of everyone.
"An Jueran, this Ecstasy Powder was found in your room. What else do you have to say?" The head of the sect threw the pill bottle in front of him.
An Jueran's expression was filled with a hint of disbelief. He frowned and said, "I have never used such a thing as Ecstasy Powder."
"You are still trying to make excuses even now. It was you who killed our master!" The pretty girl, the old man's fourth disciple, pointed at An Jueran and shouted angrily.
"Tell me quickly! Why do you want to harm Master? Do you want to get something from him?"
"Junior Brother An, I didn't expect you to be so scheming. It was you who gave Master the Ecstasy Powder and then assassinated him while he was asleep, but you said you fell asleep after drinking tea..."
Indeed, ever since the Ecstasy Powder was found in An Jueran's room, the people of Wandao Sect believed that An Jueran had given Elder Ju the Ecstasy Powder and then took the opportunity to sever his heart meridian. Although it was a bit difficult to do with his foundation-building stage cultivation, it was not completely impossible. This was the only possible explanation for the cause of death. Apart from that, they could not find any flaws.
An Jueran did not speak again. He lowered his head in silence, ignoring the contempt and disdain of the people around him, and allowing the insults to continue to come into his ears.
Just before the head of the Wan Dao Sect was about to make the final judgment, Pei Yun and his four companions had already returned to the top of the Jue Qing Cliff quietly. Pei Yun possessed a disciple standing at the back watching the excitement, and came in front of everyone with one hand pressing down the black shadow.
"Elder Ju was not killed by An Jueran!" Pei Yun's sudden appearance and sudden loud voice startled everyone present.
After a moment of silence, the pretty girl glared at Pei Yun and said, "Which peak are you from? Why do you need to come out and meddle in other people's business?"
Pei Yun smiled and replied: "Your master was not killed by An Jueran, and he is not dead!"
"What?!" Everyone present was shocked again after hearing her words. Even An Jueran, who had been keeping his head down, looked up and stared at Pei Yun.
"Master is not dead?! No! I saw Master's body with my own eyes, and it is still lying in Master's palace!"
"Isn't your master right here!" Pei Yun pushed the black shadow that had been imprisoned beside him forward, exposing himself in front of everyone.
"This is..." Everyone looked at the strange black shadow with some confusion.
However, after taking a look, the head of the Wandao Sect suddenly stood up and shouted in disbelief: "Junior Brother Ju! You, you, how could you..."
"…Really, Master?"
"This does look a bit like... the Juchangling in his youth?!"
After Pei Yun's reminder, the elders of Wandao Sect also recognized the identity of the black shadow.
Although the truth is cruel, in order to crack this "land of memories", Pei Yun still plans to tell the truth to An Jueran.
She turned her gaze to An Jueran, stared at him and said, "Your master first tricked you into going to his room, gave you the Ecstasy Powder, and then severed his own heart meridians to pretend that he was murdered. If I'm not mistaken, the Ecstasy Powder in your room was prepared by him, with the purpose of putting the blame on you..."
An Jueran did not speak, but the head of Wandao Sect asked: "Why is this?"
"Because Ju Changling had already split his soul into two halves, this black shadow is the other half of the soul, which has been hiding at the bottom of the Cliff of Absolute Lovelessness, just for you to execute An Jue and then push An Jue to the bottom of the cliff, and he took the opportunity to take over the body!"
"Seize the body?!"
"That's right! An Jueran has a lower-grade spiritual root. This kind of spiritual root is innate, and there may not be one in a million people."
Pei Yun looked at the shadow and said, "So when your life was about to end, you had evil thoughts when you saw An Jueran. You took him away from the An Mansion and asked him to worship you as his master, in order to possess his body. Your supreme skill - the ruthless sword art, was practiced with the intention of possessing his body!"
The black shadow smiled evilly at Pei Yun, then looked towards An Jueran. Suddenly, it rushed over and was about to drill into his body to take over his body.
An Jueran stood up, raised his deep eyes and glanced at Pei Yun deeply, and his movements were very crisp and sharp, and he split the black shadow rushing towards him in two with one sword...
The entire "Land of Memories" began to collapse, and the people around them disappeared, leaving only Pei Yun and the other four and An Jueran.
An Jueran stood there for a long time. He supported his sword with one hand and stared at the gradually collapsing Wandao Sect. After a while, he said, "...It turns out that the truth is even more cruel than I imagined."
