"Now, it's time to talk about your killing of Ji Houjun. Don't hide it. Tell it truthfully. As a law enforcer, in order to maintain the stability of the spiritual practice community, I have the right to intervene and handle this matter. You must understand this.
a little."
"That's fine."
When Xue Chen looked calm and prepared to recount what happened in the depths of the Baiyun Mountains yesterday, the expression on Shangguan Hong's face turned unpleasant.
"I heard that for some reasons, dozens of inheritors came to the two provinces, and a lot of theft of spiritual energy occurred. In order to prevent this from happening, I went to the Baiyun Mountains for inspection..."
From meeting a wild boar king to luckily discovering a piece of rock essence, Xue Chen explained everything simply but clearly, until he met Ji Houjun and his wife at the entrance of the cave.
"The two of them wanted to deceive the rock essence in my hand, but I saw through it, and then they became murderous towards me, wanting to kill people and seize the treasure. As for what happened next, I don't think there is a need to go into more detail."
The result is that the person who killed someone and took the treasure was killed and someone else took the treasure.
What happened is very simple, clear at a glance, and sounds reasonable. There are no loopholes worthy of scrutiny.
At this time, Shangguan Hong's whole body was trembling slightly, because of hatred, because of the fear that never dissipated, and because of anger. It felt bad to be exposed in public, and he couldn't help but scream: "You,
Shut up! You are talking nonsense, everything you say is a lie!" If he hadn't known that the gap in strength was too big, he would have been unable to resist taking action.
"Lies?" Xue Chen did not refute, but looked over mockingly.
Brother and sister Chai Yu and Chai Shan both expressed great disdain for Shangguan Hong. At the same time, they were also shocked by Xue Chen's strength. They were clearly not a few years older than the two of them, and they were similar in level. They were both in the mid-level spiritual crystal stage.
, but it seems that there is an obvious gap in strength.
"Not to mention Ji Houjun's character, is this person a perfect person for crystal refining? Or is he from the Sun Moon Star Sect, mastering various spells that are very good, but he died tragically in the hands of this Xue Chen? It's really disappointing.
It’s unbelievable how he did it!”
Chai Yu has always been confident that his qualifications and wisdom are no worse than those disciples of first-class inheritance, but now, he never expected to meet such a person who has no inheritance foundation but can kill people who are much higher than himself.
She also looked at her master and thought to herself, how would the master intervene in this matter? In her opinion, this matter is very simple. Ji Houjun died unjustly. He wanted to kill someone to seize the treasure, but he was killed. This was his own fault.
Live! But she also knew very well that Ji Houjun had a certain status in the Sun Moon Star Sect, and the Sun Moon Star Sect was a behemoth that was very likely to be promoted to a first-class inheritance in the near future.
Just as Chai Yu thought, this matter really made Fan Shanhai difficult, and he couldn't help but feel hesitant in his heart. But suddenly, he thought of Qi Yun Mountain and became determined in his heart. Qi Yun Mountain could truly travel to Prince Qi's Mansion and have such a Taoist heart.
Really, how can he be ashamed of his conscience and do something that is detrimental to the teachings of Taiping Dao? That also betrays his status as a law enforcer.
"Mrs. Shangguan, I will accompany you back to Hunan County to transport Daoyou Ji's body back. Xue Chen, he is already dead, so it is considered an understanding. However, the dusk gourd is the relic of Daoyou Ji, and you should return it to Mrs. Shangguan."
, I think that’s all for now.”
Xue Chen frowned when he heard that he was asked to return the spiritual weapon Twilight Gourd, but he said nothing because he knew there would be someone who was more reluctant to this solution than him.
"Fan Shanhai, what do you mean by this? Does it matter as long as he hands over the Dusk Gourd? What about my husband's death? This is a hatred of life and death!" Shangguan Hongteng stood up, his eyes seemed to spit out fire and anger.
The plump, twisted face looked like the dominatrix from the picture book walking out.
Fan Shanhai couldn't help but frown, and said as calmly as possible: "Mrs. Shangguan, this matter happened because you and Ji Daoyou, husband and wife, were the first to have evil thoughts towards Xue Chen, and that's why we finally reached this point. Both parties
Taking a step back is already the best solution, Xue Chen, do you agree?"
"I..." Xue Chen glanced at Fan Shanhai and hesitated. It was really difficult for him to hand over the Dusk Gourd. In his opinion, he had no fault in taking this spiritual weapon. This was what he should do.
Yes, but things need to be considered more comprehensively.
He didn't expect that the person who suddenly appeared yesterday would be the law enforcer Fan Shanhai, and Fan Shanhai gave him a good sense. He was a person with upright character. He had no deliberate bias in handling this matter.
It can be said that the people of Xingzong are under considerable pressure to make such a judgment now.
As the saying goes, if you respect me a foot, I will return a foot to you. He is also willing to give Fan Shanhai a face and doesn't want to embarrass him. What's more, although the Dusk Gourd is a good spiritual weapon, it is still not good for him.
It's really not a precious treasure.
"I can promise Senior Fan."
Seeing Xue Chen agreeing, Shangguan Hong laughed, the laugh was harsh, and the expression on his face was even more uncomfortable, a bit hysterical.
"Haha, haha, I finally understand and see clearly that you two have colluded for a long time! Xue, you killed my husband, do you think it's over if you just return the Dusk Gourd? What a beautiful thought
, I tell you, in less than two days, someone from the Sun Moon Star Sect will come, and then you will pay a thousand times the price!"
Fan Shanhai felt uncomfortable. He thought this was a very fair and just solution. In a sense, you Shangguanhong also took advantage and could get the Dusk Gourd back. But now you are saying that I have nothing to do with you.
There was collusion, how could this not make him feel chilled.
"Mrs. Shangguan, please be careful. This is the first time Xue Chen and I have met. How can we talk about collusion? What's more..."
"Shut up! I originally gave you a chance to make friends with my Sun Moon Star Sect, but you didn't know how to seize the opportunity. Now, you are no longer needed. Sooner or later, you will pay the price for today's stupid decision.
, it’s time to give up your position as law enforcer.”
As disciples, Chai Shan and Chai Yu couldn't sit still when they saw their master being humiliated.
"Ms. Shangguan, please be more polite to my master." Chai Yu has long been dissatisfied with Shangguan Hong. She deliberately lied to test her in the hotel in the morning. She originally compared Ji Houjun, who died tragically, and Shangguan Hong, who became a widow.
Sympathy, but now it has turned into disgust, it is really unreasonable.
Shangguan Hong glanced at Chai Yu coldly: "You are a junior, who asked you to speak? You can also interrupt in this matter. This is what you have inherited from Taiping Dao? You don't know propriety and etiquette! No wonder you do this
It is declining day by day and has no climate!"
Chai Yu has a smart mind, but he is not good at arguing with others, especially with a completely unreasonable shrew. His face turned pale with anger and his lips pursed tightly.
"That's enough!" Chai Shan was about to stand up for his sister, but Fan Shanhai stopped him one step ahead. Fan Shanhai didn't even look at Shangguan Hong, but said lightly, "Mrs. Shangguan, it's time for us to leave. As for you?
If you are willing to agree to the solution I proposed, you can only have other Taoist friends from the Sun Moon Star Sect come and discuss it in detail and make a decision."
Seeing Fan Shanhai striding away, Shangguan Hong asked sharply: "You really don't want to capture him for me? You have to think clearly about what is more important and what is better for you."
"I would like to remind you, Madam Shangguan, but I think very clearly in my heart. The teachings of Taiping Dao when I was founded are to bring peace and educate the people with good ways. As the head of Taiping Dao, how can I, Fan Shanhai, violate it?" Fan Shanhai saw.
Shangguan Hongqing stood still with a dark face and added, "It's better for Mrs. Shangguan to leave with me, otherwise..."
Shangguanhong's heart trembled, and he glanced at Xue Chen on the other side, reluctantly walked out, and left a resentful sentence: "I won't understand this matter so well, you will know,
How serious are the consequences of insulting the Sun Moon Star Sect!"
Watching Fan Shanhai and the others leave, Xue Chen took a look at the gloomy sky with his hands behind his back, and saw a few snowflakes falling down. This was also the first snow in Haicheng City this winter.
He turned back to the study upstairs and sat behind the desk. Four words flashed in his mind: Sun Moon Star Sect. He knew almost nothing about Sun Moon Star Sect, but he just heard that Sun Moon Star Sect was a second-rate middle school.
The top inheritance is very likely to enter the first class! And who will be sent this time when the news is received?
Will there be a Danhua realm? This is also the worst case scenario. At that time, even if Fan Shanhai, a fairly impartial law enforcer, is there, it may not be able to help.
If it was the Dan Hua realm, he would have no chance of confronting him head-on. The most he could do was escape. However, he didn't want to escape because he was not at fault and he didn't want to make his life a mess.
"I have to think of a way..."
Xue Chen thought quietly for a few minutes and thought of a possible solution. There was someone who still owed him a favor, and that person came from the Danhua realm of the first-class inheritance, and that was Qu Yan of the Shaoyang sect.
Hefty person.
According to the contact information left behind, I dialed the phone and was answered by a strange man. I asked him his name and said he would report it to Mr. Qu.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the call came back. This time it was Qu Yan: "Your name is Xue Chen. I have a good memory. I still remember that I owe you a favor. So there must be something to do with contacting me. Tell me.
Bar."
Xue Chen briefly and clearly explained what happened in the past two days.
"Oh, Sun Moon Star Sect, how do you plan for me to help you so that Sun Moon Star Sect will no longer pursue this matter? This is a bit difficult to handle. After all, you are killing a Crystal Refining Dzogchen. For Sun Moon Star,
Zong is still very important.”
"Senior Qu misunderstood. I don't expect the Sun Moon Star Sect not to pursue this matter. I just hope they don't let the Danhua Realm deal with me. This is enough." Xue Chen said. (To be continued)
