The second elder opened up the letter and took a look at it. His face couldn't help but change as he handed it over to the third elder.

The third elder looked at the letter with an uncertain expression. He and the second elder looked at each other for a moment before nodding and putting away the letter.

"Third Bro, what do you think?"

The Second Elder asked the Third Elder in a deep voice.

"There's no solid evidence. We can't take him down with just a letter. You know how bad his temper is, and he's famous for protecting him. I think we should call him over to discuss it."

The Third Elder said in a deep voice.

"Alright, that's what I mean too." The Second Elder nodded and then said to the disciples that were serving not far behind him: "Go get Seventh Elder."

The disciple agreed and then quickly left.

"Second Brother, do you think this could really be this Ye Fan …"

The third elder asked the second elder in a low voice. It turned out that they had received a letter that pointed to Ye Fan as a murderer!

"Don't say anything now."

The second elder shook his head, interrupting the third elder's words. The third elder immediately nodded his head.

It didn't take long before Seventh Elder Su Mu was invited. Second Elder and Third Elder had everyone withdraw from the main hall and locked the three inside. Soon, there was a heated argument coming from inside.

In the past few days, he hadn't stepped out of the door, nor had he stepped through the door. He had locked himself in the cultivation room and refined the corpses, but it wasn't because he was in a rush to break through, but because these corpses really weren't safe in his place. If they were found by someone, it would become evidence.

Within three days, Ye Fan had completely refined all of the corpses. His cultivation had also risen to the sixth level of the Soul Dueling Arena. At the same time, he took over Duan Xinglang's Flame Battle Soul and replaced it with an eighth level Battle-Soul.

Not long after Ye Fan finished refining the pill, two Law Enforcement disciples arrived at Ye Fan's small courtyard. They asked Ye Fan to go to the Second Elder's place.

Ye Fan couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he found his way here so quickly?

Long Yuan and the others all came out to ask what was going on, but they were stopped by Ye Fan. He calmly shook his head, and then followed the two disciples to the hall where the Second Elder was.

After arriving at the main hall, Ye Fan discovered that the Third Elder and his own master, Su Mu, were also there. Moreover, the expressions on their faces clearly weren't too good.

"Disciple Ye Fan greets Second Elder, Third Elder, and Master!"

Ye Fan hurriedly took two steps forward, then greeted the three of them one by one.

"Ye Fan, do you know your crime?"

The Second Elder, who was in charge of the Law Enforcement Unit, had a cold expression on his face as he shouted at Ye Fan.

"This disciple is terrified. I wonder what Second Elder is talking about!"

Ye Fan pretended to be surprised and said to the Second Elder.

"Ye Fan, you're still not admitting it? How did Duan Xinglang's group die?" You dare to say that you don't know? "

The Third Elder coldly said from the side.

"Reporting to the Third Elder, this disciple does not know!"

Ye Fan shook his head.

"Ye Fan, someone testified that you killed Duan Xinglang and the other disciples that went missing. What do you say about that?" You should know that killing your own kind is a capital offense! Even if you don't want to tell the truth, you still have to be punished! "

The Second Elder's expression gradually became gloomy as he spoke to Ye Fan.

"Since there's a witness, the Second Elder can make him come against me. Moreover, it's best if he takes out the evidence. Otherwise, wouldn't I be able to casually say that Duan Xinglang was killed by my enemy?"

Ye Fan said in a low voice.

"Ye Fan, because your talent is extraordinary, we decided to give you face. As long as you admit to it, we'll give you a light punishment." However, if you keep stubbornly resisting, it will not benefit you at all! "

The Third Elder added on the side.

Ye Fan glanced at Su Mu, only to see that Su Mu's face was completely red from anger. However, from the beginning to the end, he didn't say anything.

"This disciple has indeed never done anything before, how can I admit it? Second Elder, please bring a witness! If he has evidence that I've killed someone, I'm willing to die for it! "

He naturally wouldn't admit it. From the atmosphere, it was obvious that the Second and Third Elder were definitely trying to trick him. Did they really think he was a three year old child who had been tricked? If there really was evidence, he would definitely not be questioning here and would have long since been tied up and sent to the law enforcement office.

"Fine, since you don't want to admit it, then let me ask you. Where and what were you doing on the night that Duan Xinglang was killed?"

The Second Elder asked in a cold voice.

"I was drinking at the Drunken Immortal Tavern with a few friends of mine. I drank until midnight before returning. The tavern's owner and the disciples guarding the mountain can all testify for me!"

Ye Fan said in a low voice.

"Go and check it out!"

The Second Elder said to a disciple of the Law Enforcement Branch who was behind Ye Fan. The disciple immediately followed the order and quickly returned. He then whispered something into the Second Elder's ear.

"Although the tavern's owner has indeed said that you all drank wine that night, but have you any proof of what you did between the time you left Drunken Immortal Tavern and the time you returned to the sect?"

The Second Elder's expression eased up a bit as he asked Ye Fan.
