Mortal Bones

Half an incense stick later.

Jiufu, Zhenyun Peak.

In the Zhenyun Hall on the top of the peak.

The Palace Master Liu Chuxuan, who was sitting in the hall, sternly scolded Xu Taiping, who was standing in the center of the hall:

"Chu Ping'an, the casual cultivator, confess the person behind you, and I, Jiufu Xing, will save you from the pain of your soul being torn apart!"

Because this was a secret interrogation, the door of the hall was closed at this moment, and only Palace Master Liu Chuxuan and several elders including Qian Yi were in the hall.

Xu Taiping shook his head calmly and said:

"Master, Elder Chu Qiuya was not killed by me. You have found the wrong person."

Liu Chuxuan pointed to the center of the hall, the phantom of the mirage rising from the Moon Shadow Stone and said:

"The evidence is solid, and you still dare to quibble?"

Qian Yi, a guest elder from the Pure Yang Sword Sect, said coldly at this time:

"This Moon Shadow Stone was repaired from the Moon Shadow Stones that you destroyed in the Golden Hall. The picture in it cannot be fake."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping's eyes showed a clear look, and he said secretly:

"So that's it."

"When these people assassinated Chu Qiuya, they deliberately broke the Moon Shadow Stone."

"Then they calculated the time when Jiufu repaired the fragments, and replaced the picture in the Moon Shadow Stone with what they wanted Jiufu to see."

"Thus, they put the blame on the person they wanted to put the blame on."

Of course, the reason why Xu Taiping was able to think of this immediately was because he knew in advance that the group was going to murder Elder Chu Qiuya.

Immediately, he asked Liu Chuxuan and Qian Yi:

"Mr. Qian, Lord Liu, how can you be sure that the image in the Moon Shadow Stone has not been replaced by anyone?"

Although this sounds like a sophistry, Xu Taiping believes that strong men like Liu Chuxuan and Qian Yi will certainly doubt the authenticity of the Moon Shadow Stone.

After hearing this, Liu Chuxuan turned his head and glanced at Qian Yi beside him.

Qian Yi narrowed his eyes, looked Xu Taiping up and down carefully, and then murmured:

"It is indeed possible as you said."

"But no matter what, you are the most suspicious."

After thinking for a while, Xu Taiping spoke again:

"Qingxuan Sect's Zhao Linglong, Fairy Zhao, can prove that I was not present when Mr. Chu was in trouble."

Liu Chuxuan frowned and said to Xu Taiping unhappily:

"Miss Linglong is still recovering from her injuries, how can I help you prove it?"

Xu Taiping said calmly:

"The Nine Prefectures can't wait for this little bit of time, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Chuxuan immediately looked at Qian Yi, and then he looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Then please ask Master Chu to stay in my Nine Prefectures Prison for a few days first."

When he said this, several guest elders of the Nine Prefectures stood up from their seats one after another and walked to Xu Taiping together.

Xu Taiping glanced at the elders and asked:

"Master Liu, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Chuxuan replied:

"To avoid any accidents, we have to seal your cultivation before proving your innocence, Master Chu."

While he was speaking, the elders raised their hands without saying anything and inserted the blood-colored silver needles in their hands into different acupuncture points in Xu Taiping's body.

"Uh..."

Xu Taiping frowned and endured the piercing pain.

At the same time, he could clearly sense that his own spiritual power could no longer mobilize the true essence and blood in his body.

At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary person in the secular world.

"Hu..."

Xu Taiping exhaled a breath of turbid air, then looked up at the mansion master Liu Chuxuan and said:

"Master, before you have completely confirmed that I am the murderer, you sealed my true essence and blood."

"If it is finally proved that I am innocent, what should you Jiufu do?"

When facing Xu Taiping's gaze, Liu Chuxuan dodged a little, and seemed to feel that something was wrong.

However, Qian Yi on the side snorted coldly and said sternly:

"You are just a casual cultivator, killing my friend. If Jiufu hadn't stopped you, I would have dismembered your body when I was in the stands just now!"

"Now, you dare to question us in return, how presumptuous!"

When saying this, Qian Yi's murderous aura, like a storm, hit Xu Taiping heavily.

Facing this murderous intention, Xu Taiping still said calmly:

"Friends of Mr. Qian probably don't want to see Mr. Qian kill innocent people, right?"

Hearing this, Qian Yi snorted coldly, then looked at Liu Chuxuan and said:

"Liu Chuxuan, I will give you two days at most to interrogate him."

When he said this, Qian Yi suddenly increased his tone and said viciously:

"After two days, I will come to pick him up!"

After saying this, Qian Yi, with a face full of anger, walked away.

After Qian Yi left, Liu Chuxuan seemed to be relieved and exhaled lightly.

Then he turned his head to look at Xu Taiping again, and said seriously:

"Don't worry, if the murderer is really not you, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation in the Nine Prefectures!"

As he said this, he waved his hand vigorously, and several elders of the Nine Prefectures took Xu Taiping to the secret door leading directly to the Nine Prefectures Prison in the main hall.

At this moment, the voice of Fairy Lingyue suddenly rang in Xu Taiping's mind——

"Taiping, you can now use the spiritual bead you swallowed to communicate with me."

Xu Taiping immediately tried while walking:

"Sister Lingyue, can you hear me?"

Soon, the voice of Fairy Lingyue rang in Xu Taiping's mind again——

"Huh, fortunately, the spiritual bead that Li Daoyan gave you can help you avoid the restrictions on Zhenyun Peak."

Fairy Lingyue immediately sent another voice message and asked:

"Taiping, how is the situation over there?"

Xu Taiping replied calmly:

"The situation in the hall just now is almost the same as the picture deduced from the second soul mark of Liantong."

"The Nine Prefectures have determined that I am the murderer, and they are preparing to put me in prison."

Half an incense stick ago, when Xu Taiping confirmed that Qian Yi came to arrest him for Chu Qiuya, he decisively opened the second soul mark deduced by Liantong.

And one of the pictures revealed by the mark is exactly the same as the picture when Liu Chuxuan and Qian Yi questioned Xu Taiping in the hall just now.

Fairy Lingyue immediately asked nervously:

"Are the acupuncture points they sealed with soul needles the same as those in Liantong's deduction?"

Xu Taiping replied:

"Same."

Xu Taiping added:

"Sister Lingyue, don't worry. I have accumulated a lot of sword energy and thunder in those acupuncture points before those elders used soul needles to seal my acupuncture points according to the method you taught me."

"Now, I just need to use those sword energy and thunder, and I should be able to destroy these soul needles."

Fairy Lingyue was relieved when she heard this:

"I feel relieved now."

Fairy Lingyue immediately sent a message to Xu Taiping in a serious tone:

"Since Liantong's deduction is correct, then what happens next is in prison."

Fairy Lingyue paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said:

"You may have to face the assassination from Su Chan alone."
