The Xianbei Sect is divided into the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect, but they are still located in the same city, which is also one of the largest cities in Gannan Province.
After Xue Chen entered the city, he drove directly to a landscape garden-style manor in the city. To be more precise, it should be a clubhouse, where the North Sect of the Immortal Bei Sect entertains guests.
When Xue Chen got off the car, several people were already welcoming him.
A man with a dignified appearance stepped forward, with a friendly but not majestic smile on his face: "Your Excellency, Wei Shang, welcome Mr. Xue to our Immortal Stele Sect as a guest."
Xue Chen looked at Wei Shang and thought to himself that he was indeed the person in charge of Beizong. His demeanor was indeed extraordinary. No one would doubt him even if he was a ministerial official.
Looking at Wei Shang's eyes, there was nothing unusual at all, and he was upright, which also showed that he had no knowledge of the fact that someone from the North Sect of the Immortal Bei Sect went to the Baiyun Mountains to steal.
"I've taken the liberty to visit you, but I'm disturbing you." Xue Chen returned the courtesy.
The group of people walked into an elegantly decorated house located in a bamboo forest and sat down one by one.
After adding tea and taking a sip, Xue Chen took the initiative to speak under the gaze of several pairs of eyes: "I came here to visit this time, but I actually have something to ask."
Wei Shang nodded and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please tell me."
Others also looked over and seemed to know the purpose of Xue Chen's visit.
"That day, the Bai family and I had a fight at the top of Qipan Mountain. I think the Immortal Stele Sect was also invited by the Bai family." Seeing the people around him nodding, Xue Chen continued, "Then I think you should also know that now
The Baiyun Mountains are already my territory, but not long ago, someone embedded in the Baiyun Mountains repeatedly stole spiritual energy! I came here today just to ask for an explanation."
After hearing what Xue Chen said, Wei Shang couldn't help but change his face slightly, and his eyes flashed with surprise.
"Mr. Xue, what do you mean?" someone asked loudly.
Xue Chen said calmly and calmly: "Someone from the North Sect of the Immortal Stele Sect has stolen the spiritual energy in my Baiyun Mountains."
The bearded man frowned: "Boy named Xue, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You said someone from our Beizong went to the Baiyun Mountains to steal spiritual energy. What evidence do you have?"
"Without evidence, how can I dare to disturb you?"
Xue Chen's calm and composed expression shocked several people present, and they all stopped talking for a while.
Wei Shang looked at Xue Chen, paused, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xue, what evidence do you have that people from our Beizong went to the Baiyun Mountains to steal spiritual energy? Can you please take it out and show it to me?"
"Of course you can."
Xue Chen turned his right hand and held a photo in his hand, which then floated steadily in front of Wei Shang.
Seeing that it was a photo but not seeing the specific situation, Wei Shang's expression became more solemn. When he took the photo in his hand and looked at it carefully, his expression suddenly became even more ugly.
The people below were all looking at Wei Shang's face, and their hearts skipped a beat when they saw this.
"Let me take a look." Someone came forward and took the photo. After seeing it, his expression changed. Then, the photo was circulated to everyone present.
"Aren't these Gao Li and Gao Jue?" someone couldn't help but say.
Xue Chen looked at Wei Shang: "This is the evidence. If necessary, I can also take out the video to prove that these two people are in the Baiyun Mountains and not in other mountains and forests."
He said this to prevent the other party from making excuses. After all, the mountains and forests across the country are basically the same, and the other party can definitely say that they are absorbing spiritual energy in a certain mountain forest in their own territory.
But if he has a complete set of videos as evidence, it will be difficult to deny it, unless it is completely unreasonable and a complete breakup.
Looking at this photo, everyone present could not help but look at Xue Chen, feeling very surprised and unable to understand how this photo was done.
When going to steal spiritual energy from other people's territory, even the stupidest person will definitely do it very carefully and try not to leave any evidence. What's more, the Baiyun Mountains are so vast. Two people in it can be said to be in a lake.
The two small fish are usually difficult to spot, but now there are actually photos taken.
"Gao Li and Gao Jue just went to steal spiritual energy, but someone actually took a photo as evidence. It's really stupid, and now someone is looking for him!" someone thought in their mind.
"Mr. Wei, I have already produced the evidence. Can you give me an explanation?" Xue Chen asked expressionlessly.
Wei Shang didn't have much expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and ordered: "Call Gao Li and Gao Jue."
Someone immediately went out to call someone.
After waiting for about ten minutes, three people walked in together. Xue Chen glanced sideways. Two of them were exactly the people in the photo, namely Gao Li and Gao Jue.
Gao Li and Gao Jue also looked at him as soon as they came in, and the three of them looked at each other.
"Gao Li, Gao Jue, what's going on with this photo?"
Wei Shang asked someone to give the photos to the two of them.
The two men looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
"This photo... is fake!" Gao Li said with a nonchalant expression after taking a look at it.
Gao Jue also said: "Hey, where did this photo come from? Why did someone forge this photo? What is their intention!"
Seeing the two people singing along, Xue Chen sneered in his heart. He also realized that someone must have informed the two of them about the photos in advance. Since the photos were said to be fake, even the video would definitely be said to be fake.
"I have the video in my hand."
Sure enough, as soon as Xue Chen said this, the two brothers surnamed Gao denied it at the same time, saying that the video was also forged and that the two of them had never been to the mountains and forests recently, so someone must be plotting something nefarious.
Xue Chen thought that he had met all kinds of people after working in the antiques industry, but it was rare for the two in front of him to be so top-notch. They were just telling lies with open eyes, and their thick skin made people feel ashamed.
Wei Shang asked in a deep voice: "Have you two been to the Baiyun Mountains recently?"
As expected, the two of them shook it like a rattle and said they had never been there.
"Baiyun Mountains? What are you doing there?" Gao Li looked innocent.
Xue Chen didn't even look at these two people, and he knew very well that some things could be got rid of without denying them. Now anyone can see that these two people went to the Baiyun Mountains to steal spiritual energy, so this matter will eventually come to an end.
Look at Wei Shang's attitude. Wei Shang's attitude determines the direction of this matter.
Wei Shang's eyelids twitched slightly, he glanced at his two cousins Gao Li and Gao Jue, then looked at Xue Chen, and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Xue, is there any misunderstanding about this matter...?"
"Misunderstanding?"
"This..." Wei Shang paused.
"Yes, I think you just came to look for trouble!" If you were a normal person, the owner came to the door. Someone who has done something wrong secretly will definitely not say much. After all, he has a guilty conscience. But obviously, the two brothers surnamed Gao are not ordinary people.
.
Gao Li took a step forward. Not only did he not look guilty at all, but he spoke in a very loud voice, claiming that he was the one who came to find trouble: "I know that not long ago, you severely stepped on the Bai family of Yulong Cave.
, let you shine in the limelight, raise the face of the practitioners in Yunzhou Province, and take a lot of advantages. Therefore, now you just want to come to our Xianbei Sect to cause trouble, and you will also prepare it and suppress it completely.
All the inheritances in Gannan Province cannot hold their heads high, right?"
"If you think this way, you are totally wrong. How can we, the Immortal Stele Sect, be insulted by you? Do you really think that our cultivation community in Gannan Province will be trampled on by you alone?" Gao Jue answered the question.
In the past, he looked powerful and unyielding and raised his voice.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Xue Chen would have applauded. This performance was so exciting that it almost made him doubt himself. He couldn't help but take another look at these two people. He didn't expect to meet such two people.
An "interesting" thief.
"Mr. Xue, let's not talk about the authenticity of the photos and videos. If this is indeed the case, what are your plans?" Wei Shang looked over and asked.
"It's easy to say. Naturally, we act in accordance with the rules. Before I came here, I learned that practitioners who secretly steal the spiritual energy of other inheritances should be eliminated by their inheritance and be widely known, making them become street rats that everyone shouts about. And
Just apologize to the owner and compensate for the loss."
Apologizing and compensating can be regarded as minor matters, but being famous and widely known from the lineage is very serious. In that case, it will completely cut off the possibility of practice. After all, which lineage will accept two people?
What about people whose reputations have been ruined?
This old rule is also to avoid theft of spiritual energy as much as possible and avoid further fights between inheritances.
Before Wei Shang could respond, the two brothers from the Gao family spoke first, both of them sneered.
"Boy named Xue, as the saying goes, catch the traitor and catch the double, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods. If you want to slander us two brothers for stealing the spiritual energy of the Baiyun Mountains, then you have to catch us two on the spot. Otherwise, just rely on fake
The photos and videos just want to insult the reputation of our Immortal Stele Sect and frame the two brothers. It’s too simple!”
"If you want to find trouble, my two brothers will follow. Otherwise, go back to your Yunzhou province. Do you really think you are nothing? You think you have an opportunity and entered the world of cultivation. You can be arrogant if you have some skills? Ridiculous!"
Framing? Looking for trouble? Arrogant?
Seeing that these two people were so righteous and confident, not only did they not feel guilty at all, but they came to accuse him of deliberately looking for trouble, framed the two of them, and told him to go back, Xue Chen felt really annoyed and angry, and he would not let these two people pay what they should have to pay.
The price is absolutely endless! (To be continued)
