The Path Toward Heaven

When Duan Liantian left Shangde Peak, he didn't alarm anyone, let alone tell anyone where he was going.

It seemed strange that Chi Yan suddenly appeared outside Jianli City, unless he was following him here.

And just now, a famous disciple of Qingshan's junior died tragically in this ruined temple, and he even had something to do with the demon of the Underworld, but he came back to talk about it?

What does it mean? What do you mean by suddenly appearing here?

Duan Liantian looked at Chi Yan silently, and asked him to give him an explanation.

Chi Yan didn't speak.

The snow falling from the ruined temple suddenly became heavier.

Like goose feathers.

Duan Liantian's face changed slightly, he didn't expect the other party to be so tough, and said in a deep voice, I came to Jianli to investigate a case.

Chi Yan still didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Duan Liantian snorted coldly, and the wind and snow suddenly became violent.

These two elders who went to Defeng confronted each other in a dilapidated temple far away from Qingshan!

The ruined temple has been completely destroyed, the walls and windows are tilted, and the wind and snow keep pouring in. After a while, the bonfire was extinguished.

The woods outside the temple also had a lot of snow, the branches became heavy and crumbling, and the green and yellow grass was only white.

Those grasshoppers hiding in the grass branches froze and then collapsed, unable to support them until the end of autumn.

Duan Liantian swayed slightly, knowing that he was not the opponent, withdrew his sword intent, looked at Chi Yan who had the usual expression and said bitterly, Is Breaking the Sea amazing?

Chi Yan still didn't answer his question, and left with his sword.

Duan Liantian glanced at the remnants of the bonfire, sighed, and walked away with the sword.

The sword light disappeared into the night.

The wind and snow gradually stopped.

...

...

There is no snow on Shangde Peak, but it is even colder.

In particular, the depths of the cave in the forbidden area are bitterly cold, even better than the snowfields. The stone walls are covered with frost that will not melt for thousands of years, and all kinds of flowers are formed by themselves.

Yuan Qijing stood by the well, wondering if he was still looking at the scenery at the bottom of the well, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the sound of footsteps and saluting.

I have the right to leave the mountain to investigate the case on my own. I don't understand why they want to stop me and bring me back by force.

Duan Liantian seemed very righteous, but anyone could hear the uneasiness in his voice.

Yuan Qijing didn't speak.

Chi Yan asked, Who told you to investigate Zuo Yi's case?

Duan Liantian said: This is my case, why can't I investigate it?

Chi Yan then asked: You haven't checked for more than ten years, why do you want to check now?

Duan Liantian was a little annoyed and said, Liu Shisui has not been in Qingshan for more than ten years, how can I check?

Chi Yan slightly raised his eyebrows and said: Do you know that Nephew Liu has made great contributions to my Qingshan?

Duan Liantian hesitated for a while, and said, I didn't think about it that much. I just know that I was absolutely right. Liu Shisui must have something to do with Zuo Yi's death. Otherwise, why would he refuse to tell where he went that night? What was he hiding?

I would never say that these words are used well.

Chi Yan looked at him with a cold expression and said: At first you thought he was a traitor who stole demon pills and learned evil secrets, so you tortured him extremely harshly. Now that he has returned to Qingshan with incomparable glory, he has suddenly become a hero. Are you a little panicked?

Duan Liantian's expression changed slightly, and he said, You and I don't know about the situation that the real sect master asked Liangwang Peak to do. Do you want me to take the responsibility?

Chi Yan said indifferently: The problem is that Liu Shisui will not forget the crimes he has suffered. With his current future, you should be panicked.

Duan Liantian really panicked, and hurriedly distinguished: I don't deny that I really have such thoughts. If something happens to him, I naturally don't have to worry about him holding grudges, but the problem is that I didn't lie. His suspicion is so great, why not investigate?

Shangde Peak has already found out that the junior disciple who died in the ruined temple was named Jian Ruoshan, and he was a disciple of Liangwang Peak.

Apart from Zuo Yi's case, Jian Ruoshan's death seems to be some kind of proof, at least an explanation.

Jian Ruoshan died at the hands of the monster from the Underworld.

It is very similar to the death method of Wei Chengzi of the Zhongzhou sect back then.

The practice community generally thinks that the latter is Bulaolin killing people to silence him.

The ghost-eyed dace in the muddy water and the many files found in the Yuntai later proved that Bulaolin had indeed colluded with the Ministry of the Underworld over the years.

Now that the Yuntai has been destroyed, and the Xihai Sword Sect has retreated to the distant sea two thousand miles away, who else can continue to use the underworld to kill people?

It's Liu Shisui.

Duan Liantian gritted his teeth and said: We all know that Xi Wangsun appreciates him very much. It has been mentioned in the files and testimonies that if Bulaolin's contact method or channel with the Underworld is really kept, it is most likely to fall into his hands.

Hearing this sentence, Yuan Qijing finally turned around, looked at him and asked, What did you find out?

Duan Liantian said: Zuo Yi's relationship with Roller Shutter is called Lin Huangyan. After Zuo Yi's death, this person disappeared. He was already dead when he was discovered a few years ago.

Yuan Qijing said blankly: Continue.

Duan Liantian said with some hesitation: I have read the files of the shutter man back then, and confirmed that Lin Huangyan should be investigating...Peak Lord Shenmo at that time.

Chi Yan frowned and asked, Why did the curtain roller show you the file?

The shutter man did a perfect job of reporting the information.

Duan Liantian was not the person involved, so logically speaking, he would never have access to those files.

Duan Liantian gritted his teeth and said, I use the name of Jian Lv.

Chi Yan's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to scold, Yuan Qijing continued.

Duan Liantian said: No one knows what Lin Huangyan was investigating, only that he met Zuo Yi, and then Zuo Yi went back to the mountain overnight, and then died.

Yuan Qijing said: Then do you want to die too?

Do you want to die?

When this mantra came out of the mouths of disciples of Qingshan, it was either generous or mocking, and the taste was very strong.

Yuan Qijing said this sentence but it was so flat, like snow falling silently.

Duan Liantian was a warning to himself, so he quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.

First of all, he used the name of Shangdefeng.

The second is this case.

According to the Qingshan sect's rules, anyone who investigates the peak master without the consent of the sect master or Jian Lv is courting death.

Zuo Yi's relationship with Roller Shutter is Lin Huangyan. This should be very secret news. Who told you?

Chi Yan asked suddenly.

Duan Liantian didn't dare to hesitate any longer, took out a letter and handed it over.

Chi Yan took the letter and glanced at it, and said to Yuan Qijing: Same as the letter received by the Jian family, there is no breath left, so it cannot be traced.

Hearing these words, Duan Liantian finally understood that there was something wrong with this matter, and felt remorse.

...

...

You killed Lin Huangyan?

The shutter man notified me after he found out his whereabouts. I happened to be outside the mountain preparing to kill Luo Huainan, so I went to kill him by the way.

Why didn't you tell me?

You were still in the snow field at that time.

Jing Jiu looked at Zhao Layue and said, Are you still investigating?

Zhao Layue lowered her head and hummed.

A few days ago, Jing Jiu was thinking that she was much more sensible than Liu Shisui, and he was brought back to the right path by himself, but when he saw it today, it turned out that he was thinking too much.

He sighed and said, It's really worrying.
