So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The third prince stood in the crowd, staring closely at Bai Ruoxi in the distance. When he saw the girl's pale face and Mu Zhian stepping forward to support the girl, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Although it failed this time, it also verified one thing...the Tribulation Cloud Pill can indeed be used for thunder tribulation.

It's a pity that more than 90% of alchemists probably don't know the refining method of this prescription, and he only has one in his hand.

I don’t know where that disciple got the Tribulation Cloud Pill that day.

When the third prince thought of this, he felt a little regretful.

However, although the plan failed, Mu Zhian was able to be safe...but what about Bai Ruoxi?

For a proud man like Mu Zhian, seeing the woman next to him being seriously injured but unable to do anything would probably be more uncomfortable than killing him.

As for the so-called Qi Watching Technique...it doesn't matter.

How could he dare to come to the scene in person without making certain preparations?

He had carried the talisman that blocked the qi-gazing technique with him from the very beginning.

On the other side, as Mu Zhian finished speaking, there was a slight commotion among the disciples watching from a distance. Then, someone couldn't help but say:

"Brother Pastor, what do you mean by what you said? Can you explain it to me?"

"Yes, you just said that someone was behind this thunder disaster. Is there any evidence?"

Most people would not associate Bai Ruoxi's thunder disaster with pills.

After all, pills like the Cloud Robbery Pill are too rare. If Ye Lingxuan hadn't told him before, Mu Zhian would not have thought of the Cloud Robbery Pill even if he had thought that someone was doing something secretly and even suspected who it was. This extremely rare elixir.

The three leaders fell from the air. They were Yi Hao and the leader of Huabao Peak, Ren Kaitai.

Not far from the two of them, Ning Shuwen, the deputy leader of Huabaofeng, was also present.

Yi Hao stared at Mu Zhian and said, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Mu Zhian put his arm around Bai Ruoxi and said respectfully to the three of them: "Three leaders, I believe that someone is behind this thunder tribulation in an attempt to harm Miss Bai."

"As for the reason..."

After a pause, Mu Zhian continued: "There are only six levels of thunder tribulation in the God Refining Realm, but Ruoxi encountered an eighth level thunder tribulation... Has this kind of thing happened before?"

"Never." Yi Hao replied.

Then, he frowned slightly and nodded slightly inadvertently, obviously agreeing with Mu Zhian's words.

Ren Kaitai raised his eyebrows slightly and secretly looked at Mu Zhian.

He doesn't really want to get involved in such troublesome matters...

However, the talented disciple who was just accepted a few days ago is Mu Zhian’s maid...

Ren Kaitai naturally loved this disciple who was extremely unlucky but extremely talented. In addition to the pills that the inner disciples deserved every month, he also gave Wei Mengrou a lot of extra pills.

All this is because of Wei Mengrou's talent.

Ren Kaitai smiled gently and said: "If it is as you said, this thunder disaster is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time, I will personally make the decision for you!"

"Thank you three seniors." Mu Zhian replied respectfully.

"What do you want to do?" Yi Hao asked.

"I kindly request the three seniors to use the qi-gazing technique to individually ask the disciples present whether they have done anything to Ruoxi's tribulation this time." Mu Zhian replied respectfully.

This is a very troublesome process, because it takes a lot of time to ask alone, but if this matter is not handled well, similar things may happen in the future.

And because of the huge value behind Mu Zhian, and even the disciples he knew around him, the three leaders nodded slightly and agreed to Mu Zhian's suggestion.

Seeing that the three leaders began to use the Qi-gazing technique to question the disciples one by one, on the other side, Mu Zhian took Bai Ruoxi to a nearby stone chair and sat down temporarily.

"Mu Lang, what are you doing...?" Bai Ruoxi raised her eyes slightly, leaned into Mu Zhian's arms, and asked softly.

"Don't you realize that there is something wrong with this lightning disaster?" Mu Zhian looked at the three leaders in the distance and said suddenly.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and said, "I know there is a problem."

"But can we find out who the real murderer is using this method?"

While the two were talking, Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian had already walked to Bai Ruoxi's side holding hands with each other.

Because of the accident that happened today, when the two of them saw Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian making such intimate gestures, they did not stop them.

It's just that the eyes of both of them are a little complicated.

Ye Lingxuan took out an exquisite small wooden box, took out a pill from it and handed it to Bai Ruoxi, saying: "Sister Bai, this is the Huiyuan Pill, take it first, it can speed up your recovery of spiritual energy. "

Bai Ruoxi raised her head slightly, looked at the fresh and elegant girl, and the sincere concern in her eyes. She reached out and took the elixir from her, and said in a soft and pleasant voice: "Thank you, sister."

Ye Lingxuan just smiled.

It's great, everyone's relationship is gradually becoming harmonious... Mu Zhian looked at this scene and felt quite pleased.

Ye Qian suddenly asked softly: "Brother Mu, is it really possible to find out who framed Sister Bai with the aura technique?"

Mu Zhian came back to his senses slightly, looked up at the disciples in the distance who were being examined one by one by the qi-gazing technique, and said softly: "There is a high probability that the qi-gazing technique will not yield results."

"If the other party had a normal mind, he should have thought of the possibility of the Qi-gazing technique."

Bai Ruoxi heard this and turned her head slightly to look at Mu Zhian, saying: "In this case, this Qi-gazing technique..."

Mu Zhian seemed to know what she wanted to ask, silently looking at the crowd in the distance, his eyes fell on someone.

"The Qi-gazing technique cannot find out the real murderer, but if you know who the real murderer is, there are many ways to bring him to justice."

...

"Next one."

Yi Hao spoke again indifferently, looking at the disciples of the sect one by one, frowning inadvertently.

Even he has realized the problem at this moment.

It is very likely that there is no real murderer who framed Bai Ruoxi among these people present!

Or in other words, the person who secretly played tricks on Bai Ruoxi's thunder tribulation at that time was among them, but the other party may have already thought of a way to deal with the Qi-gazing technique.

If the other party is let go like this... the next time, the other party may do something similar.

Ren Kaitai on the side also realized this matter, so his face became more solemn.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came to Yi Hao's ears.

As the voice fell, the middle-aged cultivator could not help but be stunned for a moment, and glanced at Mu Zhian who was transmitting the voice to him in the distance without leaving a trace.

After a slight pause, he nodded slightly, and then retracted his sight.

"Next."

As Yi Hao's cold voice fell, another sect disciple came forward.

Ye Yu.

"Have you tampered with your fellow disciple Bai Ruoxi's tribulation this time?" As Yi Hao asked, the talisman that had been burning for a long time made his eyes turn into dazzling gold.

At this moment, the Qi in Ye Yu's body also fell into his field of vision.

If Ye Yu lied, the Qi in his body would appear a little dark.

But this is of no use to Ye Yu, after all, he has a clear conscience.

At least this matter has nothing to do with him.

Ye Yu opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly stood up, and this voice also attracted the attention of others.

Ye Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Master Mu, the three chiefs are now investigating the person who framed Miss Bai. Why are you disturbing them at this time?"

"Miss Bai is one of the most important people around me. She must have encountered the eight-fold thunder tribulation this time. Someone must have secretly done something wrong."

Mu Zhian paused, looked around, and continued: "And since the other party dared to do this, it is very likely that they have prepared to deal with the Qi-watching technique."

Ren Kaitai and Ning Shuwen, the two chiefs of Huabao Peak, nodded calmly, obviously agreeing with what Mu Zhian said.

"From what Master Mu said, is there any way to find the person who framed him?" Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

If the chief can't do it, what can you, a young cultivator who has just joined the sect, do?

However, just when he thought of this, he heard Mu Zhian said lightly:

"Yes, I have a way to find the person who framed Miss Bai."

As soon as this was said, it immediately caused a slight commotion.

Ye Yu frowned slightly. He didn't know what tricks Mu Zhian was playing for a while.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mu Zhian walked in front of the three masters and then respectfully handed over a round pill.

"Three masters, this is Guiyuan Pill. For those who take this pill, all the talismans and secrets on their bodies will be temporarily ineffective for a period of time."

Mu Zhian looked up at Ye Yu and smiled: "Master Ye, can you take this pill before accepting questions?"

Ye Yu frowned slightly and said: "Why have I never heard of Guiyuan Pill before?"

"There are thousands of pills in this world. May I ask what kind of alchemy master is Master Ye? Do you know all the pills?" Mu Zhian asked with a smile.

Ye Yu's voice stagnated.

There are many prescriptions in this world that many alchemists may not know in their lifetime. How could he, who has just become an alchemist for a short time, dare to say that he knows all kinds of elixirs?

But in front of his two sisters, Ye Yu did not want to lose face anyway, and said coldly: "Speaking of which, although I don't know the prescription of this elixir, now think about it, I have heard of the effect of this elixir before."

"After all, Master Ye is an alchemist." Mu Zhian smiled.

Ye Yu looked at Mu Zhian in surprise, as if he did not expect that this playboy disciple would actually praise him.

He inadvertently glanced at Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian who were sitting in front of the stone chair with Bai Ruoxi not far away, but the sisters' eyes never moved away from Mu Zhian from beginning to end.

The joyful mood just now suddenly sank. Ye Yu retracted his gaze and said coldly: "I know the effect of Guiyuan Pill, but how can I know if you have done anything to it?"

Mu Zhian smiled lightly and said: "No matter how bold I am, I can't do anything in front of the three masters. If you don't believe it, you can ask them to check it before taking it."

Yi Hao heard it, raised his hand and grabbed the pill. After a glance, his eyes moved slightly and looked at Mu Zhian in surprise.

The two Huabao Peak masters beside him also looked at the 'Guiyuan Pill' floating in the air for a few times. After looking at each other, they all retracted their gazes calmly.

"There is nothing wrong with this pill. It won't do you any harm." Yi Hao said.

Even though he was reluctant in every possible way, even the leader said so, Ye Yu had no choice but to take the elixir and drink it.

After waiting for a while, Yi Hao took out a talisman again, and after burning it, with the blessing of Qi Watching Technique, he stared into Ye Yu's eyes and said, "Have you done anything about Bai Ruoxi's tribulation today?"

"No." Ye Yu shook his head and answered frankly.

The Qi Watching Technique still found no problems.

"Is this okay?" Ye Yu looked at Mu Zhian and asked in a deep voice.

"That's enough."

Mu Zhian smiled, and then his eyes fell on the handsome young man in the crowd wearing a four-clawed python robe.

"Third Prince, it's your turn."

When he said this, Mu Zhian took out the same Guiyuan Pill again.

A trace of panic flashed in the third prince's eyes, and the palms hidden in his sleeves clenched quietly.

He panicked.

The smart third prince thought that he was well prepared and even prepared to block the Qi Watching Technique, but he never thought that Mu Zhian would have a pill that could break this technique!

Seeing that the third prince did not come forward, Yi Hao frowned slightly and said solemnly: "Ning Long, what are you still doing?"

There was a faint whisper among the crowd in the audience. It was obvious that the third prince had not stepped forward to be inspected by the aura technique, which aroused suspicion.

Hearing such whispers, the third prince woke up from his trance and stared in the direction of Mu Zhian.

It's him again...it's Mu Zhian again!

If it weren't for Mu Zhian, it would be impossible to find out who was responsible for this plan even if it was the first one. After all, there were so many people in front of the pilgrimage temple just now, and it would be impossible to find out even if they wanted to.

But now...

Just one Guiyuan Pill directly reversed the situation!

Ning Shuwen frowned, stared at the ashen-faced third prince, and said in a cold voice: "Ning Long, why are you still in a daze?"

Seeing that the third prince never moved, but stared at Mu Zhian with an ugly expression, the three leaders still had the answer in their hearts.

"Mu Zhian!" The third prince suddenly raised his head and glared at Mu Zhian, who was standing far away, with strong hatred in his eyes.

Yi Hao's eyes turned cold and he said coldly: "This time the plot is so bad, I will personally take you to the law enforcement hall!"

Sending a disciple to the Law Enforcement Hall can be said to have announced that the disciple's sect career is over, and there will be various accountability during this period, which can be said to be a quite serious punishment.

Yi Hao raised his hand and took the third prince away with a wave of his hand.

Mu Zhian looked at this scene and quietly withdrew his gaze.

He never said another word from beginning to end because there was no need.

Yi Hao will take care of what to do.

After all, the Immortal Ascension Conference will be held in a few months.

At that time, if Canghaifeng, which had always been ranked last, wanted to stand out, Bai Ruoxi would be a very important point.

This time Bai Ruoxi was framed... No need to think about how angry Yi Hao would be.

Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, turned around and clasped his fists at the many sect disciples present: "I'm really sorry for causing a lot of trouble to all the senior brothers and sisters this time. If there is any need in the future, just tell me and I will do my best. "

Even though they knew it was just superficial words, this gentle and humble attitude still made many people feel more favorable towards this disciple who had just joined the sect, so they all responded with fists in their hands.

When the disciples of the sect were leaving one after another, Mu Zhian returned to the stone chair, looked at Bai Ruoxi beside him, and asked with concern: "Can you still walk now?"

Bai Ruoxi nodded slightly. She had regained some of her complexion, and her pale face was slightly rosy: "No problem...it's just that it will take a day or two for the spiritual energy to be fully replenished."

It doesn't take a day or two... Mu Zhian glanced at Bai Ruoxi intentionally or unintentionally, and then quickly looked away.

After all, the Ye sisters are still here, so they have to be more reserved.

"Every time I encounter trouble, Mu Lang is the one who helps me. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble again..." Bai Ruoxi's tone was full of apology.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "There is no need to say such things in our relationship."

"You just need to concentrate on your cultivation, and leave everything else to me."

As he said that, he looked at Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian again, and said softly: "You too, if there is any trouble, Brother Mu will help solve it."

Both the Ye sisters and Bai Ruoxi are extremely talented people. The stronger they become, the more benefits they will bring to him.

After raising all the 'killer whale calves' in the fish pond, it will be much easier for me in the future.

He can't practice faster, but he can help other girls practice faster.

Isn’t it delicious to eat soft rice?

"If I remember correctly, the pill in your hand should be the ordinary beans that were fed to Senior Linglong, right?" Bai Ruoxi suddenly asked softly, "What if the third prince really took it?"

The Guiyuan Pill is completely bluffing.

What Mu Zhian took out at that time was not an elixir at all, but just ordinary beans, one of the snacks used to feed the spirit dragon.

The three leaders just now knew about this matter, but they just didn't expose it.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said: "If you know who the criminal is, there are many ways to expose his crime."

After finishing speaking, he inadvertently raised his eyes and saw two more figures flying towards him in the distance.

The head of Daofeng, and the first head of Canghaifeng.

Obviously, they must have known about this matter, so they came here to see what happened.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly to the two people in the air, and then stood up to take Bai Ruoxi and others away from the pilgrimage hall.

In the crowd, looking at the harmonious atmosphere between Mu Zhian and the three girls, Ye Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly said slowly: "Since coming to the sect, Miss Bai's cultivation speed is daunting, which is really enviable. I wonder if there is any special method?"

The third prince, that idiot, wanted to frame Bai Ruoxi with that method. The risk is too great. Once discovered, there will be no chance to turn over in the future.

But the method he used was simple and crude, and it would be much more effective!

As Ye Yu's voice fell, many disciples of the sect who were planning to leave all looked over together, and Mu Zhian also turned his head to look at the figure of the black-robed boy in the crowd.

Ye Lingxuan gently grabbed Ye Qian's hand, and her eyebrows slightly frowned.

In the past, she still had some "brother-sister" feelings for Ye Yu, but now, because he repeatedly disturbed Mu Zhian, such feelings finally turned into complete hatred.

In mid-air, Yu Ziyan and Ying Guhuan also fell lightly. When they heard this, they looked at Ye Yu inadvertently.

They cared so much about Mu Zhian, so they would naturally understand Mu Zhian's past experiences, so they also knew how deep the hatred between Mu Zhian and Ye Yu was.

Facing Ye Yu's sudden attack, Mu Zhian's expression was already indifferent, and he said, "What do you mean, Master Ye?"

"Is there a way to take a shortcut along the way of cultivation?"

Ye Yu shook his head and smiled, "There is no shortcut along the way of cultivation."

He suddenly changed his tone: "But I once got a piece of Heavenly Qi, and later when I fought with Master Mu, the Heavenly Qi inexplicably disappeared in the Dragon Head Forest."

"At that time, I suspected whether it was Master Mu who got the Heavenly Qi."

"But now it seems that there is another possibility?"

When he said this, Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian's eyes, trying to see a trace of panic in his eyes.

Once the matter of Heavenly Qi is exposed, many people will look at Mu Zhian with a little strangeness in the future. Even if no one in the sect will have any thoughts, but going out to perform the sect's mission... no one knows what will happen.

When Ying Guhuan heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Looking at the pale-lipped and frail-looking beauty Bai, Ye Yu spoke again: "Miss Bai has only been in the sect for a short time, but she has already entered the third level of soul refining... I suddenly wonder if the Heavenly Qi that was stolen from me that day is in your body?"

Bai Ruoxi did not speak, but her eyes flickered slightly, she bit her lips lightly, and subconsciously increased the strength of holding Mu Zhian's hand.

Just because of the weakness of the body, even if the strength was increased, it seemed a little weak.

Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian's eyes could not help but slightly understand.

No wonder Brother Ye Yu's cultivation speed suddenly became so fast...because at the beginning, the Heavenly Qi was in his body, which accelerated his cultivation speed.

And after his Heavenly Qi was lost, it happened to be obtained by Bai Ruoxi.

In this way, it can explain why Bai Ruoxi's cultivation speed is so fast.

And Ye Yu looked at this scene, and Bai Ruoxi's silent and weak look, and couldn't help but sneer secretly.

Even if he couldn't get the Heavenly Qi, at least, he couldn't let Mu Zhian get it for free.

"I don't plan to ask Miss Bai to hand over the Heavenly Qi again. I just asked a little bit. Please don't mind it." Ye Yu smiled lightly.

That being said, once the demon cultivators in the sect knew that the Heavenly Qi was on Bai Ruoxi, they would try every means to get it no matter what.

And this would bring great trouble to Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian was silent for a long time, and under the gaze of the two leaders, he suddenly sighed.

"Master Ye is right. The Heavenly Qi is indeed here."

Ye Yu was stunned, as if he didn't expect Mu Zhian to answer him so frankly.

Even Ying Guhuan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Mu Zhian.

"However, the Heavenly Qi is not with Ruoxi."

Ye Yu frowned, and for a moment he couldn't figure out Mu Zhian's way.

Ying Guhuan stared at Mu Zhian silently, waiting for his answer.

Under the gazes of several people, Mu Zhian sighed in his heart and spoke slowly again:

"The Qi of Heaven is in my cauldron."

He raised his head and looked at Ying Guhuan and Yu Ziyan, clasped his fists and said: "Two masters, your previous guess in front of Linglong Cave Heavenly Palace was correct."

"..."

The square suddenly became silent.

Then, the two masters, who were used to all kinds of big scenes, uncontrollably accelerated their heartbeats and their eyes lit up quietly.
