As soon as Zhai Yunqiu's voice fell, one voice after another came from all directions.◎
"What fellow Taoist Yunqiu said is absolutely true."
"Shen Tu Bao, you can leave, but that kid can't. No matter who it is, don't even think about taking him away today!"
"Yes, once everything is investigated clearly, if it really has nothing to do with this kid, we will not embarrass him anymore because of our status."
These voices were all uttered by the great figures from the top forces in the Imperial Domain. Each one was more majestic than the last. They were like the sound of the great avenue, resounding throughout the world and making people feel heart-stopping.
In an instant, the faces of Le Wuhen, Shen Tu Yanran, Yu Qiu Jing, Zhuan Yushui and others all looked gloomy, their hearts were anxious, and they all looked at the elders around them.
"Everyone, this Chen Xi is only slightly suspicious. What you are doing is a bit too much. Do you think that he alone can kill seven divine gods?"
Shen Tubao frowned and spoke, somewhat unhappy.
He really didn't believe that Chen Xi could achieve this. The reason was very simple. Luo Shaonong and the others were all supreme gods ranked very high in the Spiritual God Realm on the List of Conferred Gods, and this little guy Chen Xi...
…who has heard his name before?
How could such a little guy with little reputation possibly wipe out Luo Shaonong and others by himself, even if he had a conflict with Luo Shaonong and the others in the ruins of Manggu?
"Hmph! This matter is of great importance. If there is any suspicion, we must investigate it clearly. If you Shen Tu Bao does this again, you will become the enemy of everyone present!"
Zhai Yunqiu snorted coldly, his expression extremely cold.
"What if I don't agree?"
Shen Tubao was also angry and asked.
Seeing this, Le Beiyou on the side suddenly smiled and advised: "Okay, you two, stay calm for a while, aren't you just checking the situation? It won't waste much time."
Zhai Yunqiu nodded and said: "Brother Beiyou still understands the righteousness."
Shen Tubao frowned and glanced at Le Beiyou, but in the end he didn't say anything.
But in this case, Le Wuhen did not agree, and said displeasedly: "Uncle Jiu, Chen Xi is my friend, and we have a life-long friendship, how can this be done?"
Le Beiyou smiled and said disapprovingly: "It's just an investigation. Don't be impatient. If this little friend Chen Xi hadn't done it, I guarantee that no one would dare to hurt him."
Le Wuhen was stunned, a little helpless and irritated. The development of the situation was faintly out of his control, which made him feel a little ashamed of Chen Xi.
He had been so sworn before, promising that there wouldn't be any big problems, but now something like this happened, which made him feel extremely aggrieved.
Not only Le Wuhen, but also Shentu Yanran, Yu Qiujing, Zhuan Yushui and others were displeased and secretly angry.
They were about to say something, but they were stopped by Chen Xi with a smile: "Senior Beiyou is right, it's better to find out this matter. I still haven't figured it out yet. What happened? How could everything be changed?"
The target is suspicious of me."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhai Yunqiu and said calmly: "I wonder if this senior can give me some advice?"
If someone doesn't know the details, hearing these frank words will probably dispel some of their doubts.
Even Le Wuhen and others couldn't help but sigh inwardly. They didn't expect Chen Xi to be so proficient in telling lies without even blinking.
Zhai Yunqiu snorted coldly, looked directly at Chen Xi like lightning, and said with a compelling force, "Little guy, you should know the price of lying."
Chen Xi smiled calmly: "No need to remind me, please correct me."
Zhai Yunqiu took a deep breath and said cheerfully: "Well, let me ask you whether my son Zhai Jun, the son of the Zhai family, was harmed by you!"
There was a soul-shaking power in his voice, as if Chen Xi would suffer disaster if he lied.
This is a secret technique that is specially designed to shock the soul.
But for Chen Xi, it was obviously not enough. Without thinking, he said in surprise: "What? Zhai Jun is dead?"
He looked shocked when he heard about this.
Zhai Yunqiu narrowed his eyes, looked at Chen Xi carefully for a long time, and said coldly: "Stop pretending, why don't you think about it, why are there so many people, but I am suspicious of you?"
Chen Xi frowned and said: "Senior, what you say is a bit rude. I dare you to ask if you have any evidence?"
Seeing Chen Xi's refusal to admit his guilt, the other big shots around him all frowned. If it hadn't been for the presence of Lebei You, Shen Tubao and others, they would have taken action long ago and captured Chen Xi and tortured him severely.
Zhai Yunqiu also laughed angrily: "Evidence? Good! Then let me ask you, did you have any conflict with Zhai Jun when we were in Manggu Ruins?"
Chen Xi said calmly: "It happened once, but it was just a fight, and many people were present at the time."
Zhai Yunqiu continued: "Then let me ask you again, have you ever had a conflict with Luo Shaonong?"
Chen Xi still nodded: "Yes, but it was just to compete for the root of the Dao, and there was no risk of life for each other."
"Then have you ever had conflicts with Gongye Zhefu, Yue Ruhuo, Jin Qingyang, Kun Wuqing, and Pei Wen?"
Zhai Yunqiu announced a string of names in one breath, attracting all the attention of the audience. At the same time, one after another terrifying pressure swept over, oppressing Chen Xi, making him see
His eyes suddenly narrowed.
After a while, Chen Xi finally said: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is the fact."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked.
This was the first time most of them had heard of Chen Xi's name before. In addition, Chen Xi had never been on the list of gods, which made them wonder where such an unknown young man came from.
How dare you offend so many supreme gods.
So when they heard Chen Xi admit it in person, there were still ripples in their hearts, and they had to re-examine this young man.
"Then let me ask you one last question, were you responsible for the deaths of Luo Shaonong and the others?" Zhai Yunqiu shouted, like thunder piercing the sky, deafening.
"No." Chen Xi answered concisely and to the point.
"Well, since you said so, let me use the soul search method to investigate. If you are really not lying, you can leave now, how about it?" Zhai Yunqiu said coldly.
"Doesn't this seem inappropriate?"
Le Wuhen on the side could no longer hold back, feeling that this old guy was treating Chen Xi like a prisoner.
Shentu Yanran and others were also displeased and looked at Zhai Yunqiu coldly. With the clan elders present, they would not be afraid of each other.
Zhai Yunqiu would not pay attention to the interference of these juniors. His eyes were fierce and locked on Chen Xi. As long as the other party showed any abnormal movement, he would notice it.
Unfortunately, up to this point, Chen Xi had not shown any signs of cheating, but this did not dispel Zhai Yunqiu's suspicion.
On the contrary, because Chen Xi acted too calmly, he felt more and more that even if Chen Xi did not do this, it must be related to it.
"Let me ask you again, are you willing to accept my soul-searching method to prove your innocence?" Zhai Yunqiu said aggressively.
Chen Xi's face darkened, and he sneered: "Senior, please understand one thing. First, I am not a prisoner, but I have no obligation to cooperate with you in investigating the truth. Second, I don't blame you for questioning again and again.
You, after all, who let Zhai Jun die? I can understand your feelings."
After a pause, he said with a hint of anger in his expression: "However, your request to search for a soul is too much. Do you really think that someone's dignity can be trampled on at will?"
Every word is impassioned, sonorous and powerful, as if he was filled with righteous indignation after being wronged.
Watching this, Le Wuhen and others felt amazed again. They didn't expect that Chen Xi's acting could be so lifelike, it was almost as if it was fake.
Zhai Yunqiu's expression froze, and he was filled with anger. If it weren't for Le Beiyou, Shen Tubao and others, he would have wanted to tear Chen Xi's mouth to pieces and suppress him first. In this way, he would not have to worry about the other party not agreeing.
.
"Okay, let's end this matter." Shen Tubao said, wanting to end this "questioning" and lead the group to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a deep and deep voice came from the clouds in the distance. It was the Gongye Nankai exit on the Nine-Eyed Toad.
"Young man, if you have a clear conscience, you will agree to search for the soul. If it turns out that it was not you who did it, I will apologize to you in front of everyone present!"
Gongye Nanli's voice was calm, but there was an overwhelming pressure.
And hearing the promise he made shocked many people present. Just for this matter, Gongye Nanli did not hesitate to gamble with his dignity. It can be seen that the death of Gongye Zhefu has caused great harm to his Gongye family.
The injury caused him to become ruthless in doing things.
But to Chen Xi, this was just like a joke. He couldn't help but sneered: "Apologise? Are you going to die to apologize? If you just apologize, it's hard to obey!"
Apologize with death!
Hearing these provocative words, Gongye Nanli's eyes froze, his aura became more and more threatening, and he said coldly: "Little guy, don't skip the toast and drink as a penalty! If not for the sake of Lebei
Considering their reputation, how can I have time to listen to your nonsense?"
It is true that in the eyes of these big shots, Chen Xi is nothing at all. He is not even qualified to talk to them. The reason why he has not taken action is just to give face to Le Beiyou, Shen Tubao and others.
But if Chen Xi would rather die than cooperate, then they would have no choice but to be merciless!
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely silent.
All eyes were looking at Chen Xi, as if waiting for what decision he would make.
Le Wuhen and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Shen Tu Yanran suddenly gritted her silver teeth and was about to step forward and say something, but Chen Xi sent a message to stop her again: "Don't move, leave all this to me."
At this moment, Chen Xi's expression looked extremely calm, but his eyes were completely indifferent, without any trace of emotion.
He glanced at the important figures from the imperial domain who were present one by one, and softly uttered a sentence on his lips: "It would be better to be in pieces than to be in ruins."
Every word is calm and ringing.
