However, the conversation between the saint and her second uncle soon reached Ji Limo's ears. After hearing this, Ji Limo smiled and waved her hand to let people leave.
"Do you think the saint really thanks us, or is she just perfunctory?" Ji Limo said.
Murong Xi said: "I don't think that's the case. The saint may be sincere when she says this, but she knows that she can't hide it from the witch master in Fengtian Sect, so she might as well say it openly. And, by the way,
Mentioned the twelve guards and Silver Moon."
"You said the saint is really worried about Yinyue?" Ji Limo asked with a smile.
Obviously, Ji Limo didn't believe that the saint would worry about Yinyue.
"At least Yinyue is also her daughter, how could she not care." Murong Xi said.
"She said it herself. Seeing Yin Yue is like seeing Wu Zun's mother. How could she really miss Yin Yue?" Ji Limo said.
"I decided that she didn't tell you the truth. By the way, are those twelve people still in the dungeon?" Murong Xi asked.
"If they hadn't mentioned it today, I would never have remembered that there were twelve people locked in the secret room." Ji Limo said.
"Aren't you going to release them?" Murong Xi asked.
"They are all members of the clan leader. If they are released, they will inevitably add enemies to themselves. It is better to lock them in a secret room first." Ji Limo said.
"You can undo their witchcraft and forbidden magic, and then send them to the backyard." Murong Xi said casually.
"What you said makes sense, otherwise they might really think that I silenced them." Ji Limo shrugged and said.
After the three people chatted, Ji Limo picked up the twelve people and sent them directly to the backyard.
"Master Wu Zun, who are they?" Seeing all twelve people being carried in, the clan leader asked with some confusion.
"After I brought them back before, I removed the forbidden spells on them. Therefore, they are now almost like ordinary people. If they stay in the forbidden place for a long time, they will become drowsy. After an hour, they will all wake up.
." Ji Limo explained.
"Thank you, Master Wu Zun." The clan leader said through gritted teeth.
Ji Limo turned around and left with the others. The patriarch looked at Ji Limo's leaving figure, his eyes seemed to be quenched with poison. It was not easy to train these twelve people. He didn't expect that they would all be destroyed by Ji Limo.
in hand.
"Clan leader, this is..." one of the elders asked.
"Find someone to carry them in to rest. They will wake up after an hour." The clan leader said coldly.
"Yes." After the elder responded, he called the clansmen to carry the twelve people in.
When the elder saw the clan leader's face ashen, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Xier, if you send twelve people back, you won't let the tiger go back to the mountain, right?" Feng Mingye asked.
"Ji Limo has abolished their witchcraft, how can they still practice it? However, the clan leader may be angry to death. You must know that these clan members are very capable. Not only are they good at witchcraft, but they are also capable of forbidden spells.
Unusual." Murong Xi said.
"I think the clan leader has been mentally prepared for a long time and has no hope for the twelve people. After all, the twelve people stayed in the forbidden area for too long. He probably thought that these twelve people had been tricked by Ji Limo.
Dead." Feng Mingye said.
"You are right, he should be surprised to be able to let these twelve people go." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"I don't know if it's unexpected or not, but I know he will never trust those people again." Ji Limo said firmly.
The patriarch is very suspicious. He still doesn't believe that Ji Limo can release these people. After all, they know too much. If he doesn't torture him to learn his secrets, how can Ji Limo let these people go?
Apart from the removal of the forbidden spell, there were no traces of injuries at all. This aroused the clan leader's suspicion even more, that they might have told the witch master about the clan's affairs.
Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that Ji Limo had no intention of interrogating them.
"If you send those twelve people back, won't you risk their lives?" Murong Xi asked in surprise.
"The patriarch won't kill them. After all, this is Fengtian Sect, but he won't trust them. Of course, that won't necessarily happen if he leaves Fengtian Sect." Ji Limo shrugged.
Murong Xi smiled and said, "Are you planning to let them cause chaos on their own first?"
"What do you think the elders would think if they knew that the clan leader suspected these twelve people?" Ji Limo said.
"I have heard before that more than half of these twelve people were selected from their respective elders' families. If they were suspected, the elders would not dare to say anything in front of the clan leader, but they would definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
It turns out you had this idea, but it's a good idea." Murong Xi said with a smile.
She was just about to go to the backyard to check the pulses of those girls, and then she could see the reactions of the elders.
In the backyard, the clan leader had not left the backyard since the twelve people were sent back. It took a full hour for the twelve people to wake up one after another.
"Chief, they are already awake, and you are tired. Why not go back and rest first." One of the elders said.
"Are they all awake?" the patriarch asked.
"Yes." The elder replied.
"I'll go see them." After the patriarch said, he walked into the room where the guards were resting.
The elders thought that the clan leader was just concerned about those few people and had not thought about the clan leader's worries at all.
When the guard saw that it was the patriarch who came in, he showed gratitude on his face and said, "Chief, are you okay? My subordinates should be damned for not protecting you and the saint."
The guards were telling the truth. They were suddenly unconscious at the time, and it wasn't until they woke up that they realized they were imprisoned in the secret room of Fengtian Sect.
The patriarch first sneered, then waved to the elders and asked them to go out first, obviously he had something to ask.
The elders looked at each other and then left.
When the clan leader saw the elders leaving, he checked the pulse of the guard in front of him and confirmed that the guard really had no internal or external injuries except for the lifting technique.
After putting down the guard's wrist, the clan leader said: "Did you say anything to the witch master?"
The guard looked puzzled and said, "As for the clan leader, we are being held separately. It's just that from the time we were imprisoned in Fengtian Sect to today, we have never seen Master Wu Zun."
"Oh? In other words, you have been imprisoned for so long and no one interrogated you?" the patriarch said.
"Yes, the witch master didn't send anyone to interrogate us. Even his subordinates felt a little strange why they didn't question us after they imprisoned us." The guard replied.
The patriarch's eyes were full of doubts, and he obviously didn't believe what the guards said.
"Oh? Since you didn't say anything, why would he be so kind to let you go?" the clan leader said coldly.
The guard looked at the clan leader in surprise. He originally thought that the clan leader was concerned about whether they were injured, but it turned out that the clan leader was only concerned about whether they had betrayed the clan leader.
"Clan leader, all twelve of us are your people. Even if the wizard tortures us, we will not reveal any secrets of the clan." The guard said nervously.
After hearing what the guard said, the patriarch not only did not forgive him, but also slapped the guard on the chest. The guard was already very weak, how could he withstand the palm of the patriarch.
The guard who was slapped felt an instant pain in his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The elders stood at the door and rushed in when they heard something was wrong.
"Clan leader?" The elder asked in confusion when he saw that the guard was injured.
After the elders hurriedly helped the guards, one of the elders asked again: "Chief, why are you doing this?"
"He didn't tell me the truth." The team leader said coldly.
"Patriarch, my subordinates really didn't lie. The witch master really didn't interrogate us." The guard coughed twice and immediately explained.
The patriarch left the house without saying anything else.
The guard became anxious and vomited another mouthful of blood. Seeing this, the elder had no choice but to help him heal his injuries. After a quarter of an hour, the guard got better.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why is the clan leader suddenly so angry?" the elder asked.
"Uncle Yan, I really don't know why the patriarch lost his temper. He just asked me if Master Wu Zun had interrogated us. In fact, after we were brought back to Fengtian Sect, we have been locked in a secret room. To be honest, we
I haven't even seen the shadow of the witch master. The witch master didn't ask us anything, he just punished us and removed the forbidden spells on us." The guard said aggrievedly.
After hearing this, the elder felt distressed, patted the guard on the back and said, "Fortunately, the internal organs were not hurt. Let's take good care of him first."
"Yes." the guard said.
The elders said nothing in front of the guards. After leaving the guard's room, several elders looked at each other and then all went to Elder Yan's room.
"The patriarch suspects that these children have betrayed him." Elder Yan said.
"The clan leader is indeed suspicious, but they have been following the clan leader for so long, how could they... Besides, they are all our descendants." Another elder said.
"Since you trust them, why did you beat the child seriously? In front of the child, I did not expose the patriarch. In fact, the child was seriously injured." Elder Yan said.
"Should we ask the clan leader?" another elder said.
"Ask? I think it's unnecessary for you to ask him." Another elder suddenly said.
"Young Master Bai is here to stir up trouble. No matter what, we still support the clan leader's decision," Elder Yan said.
"Instigation? Those twelve children are all members of our clan. The clan leader must not believe them. I think you should know their fate better than me." Elder Bai continued.
This sentence touched Elder Yan's heart, because he was also worried about other people. According to the patriarch's character, if he no longer believed in these twelve people, he would definitely not spare their lives. But these twelve people
Inside, there are all their relatives. But, will the patriarch really be so cruel?
"Then what do you think we should do next?" Elder Yan said.
Elder Bai thought for a while and said: "We don't need to ask the clan leader, it will make him even more angry. I think we should guard these children first. If the clan leader really wants to take action, it is not too late for us to stop him."
"You mean if the clan leader takes action... we have to rush out to stop him?" Elder Yan said with some surprise.
"Otherwise? Watching them being killed? Or pretending not to know anything?" Elder Bai shrugged and said.
"Can we avoid the clan leader's murderous intent by staying here?" Elder Yan said worriedly.
