After thinking for a moment, Chen Chen took the Nascent Soul cultivator back. Some things were better to be confronted face to face.
Returning to the original city, Nan Pinghai had already arrived with several other ship owners, including the identified ship owner named Zhao.
Although Chen Chen knew that under the shock of his spiritual consciousness, it was basically impossible for the Nascent Soul cultivator to lie.
But some people's truth may not be the truth.
He knew this very well.
For example, God regarded him as a traitor and evil person from the bottom of his heart, but what is the reality? Quite the opposite.
"Senior Envoy, there is no way that this matter was done by someone within our ranks. To be honest, since the Merchant Alliance was established, we ship owners are all vested interests. There is absolutely no need to go against the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect!"
In front of other shipowners, Nanpinghai changed his name to Chen Chen as the chief envoy.
Chen Chen did not answer, but looked at a scarred man in the crowd, pointed at the Nascent Soul cultivator lying on the ground and said: "Captain Zhao, this man said that the elixir was obtained from you, can you explain For a moment?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to the scarred man.
The face of the scarred man changed drastically, and he said angrily: "You are slanderous! I don't know this person at all! And how dare I, Zhao Hui, touch the people of the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect!"
Seeing his fierce reaction, Chen Chen frowned slightly and asked in his mind at the same time.
"System, are there any evil cultivators within a hundred meters radius?"
"have."
"Where?"
"It's the host himself."
Chen Chen's face suddenly darkened.
He just learned the Haoran Holy Light Art, how can he be regarded as an evil cultivator
But one thing is certain, that is, it was not the captain named Zhao who intercepted and killed the Jade Cauldron Dan Sect monk.
"System, who has the worst character within a fifty-meter radius?"
"It's the place to stay..."
"Shut up!"
Chen Chen felt a headache.
Since there are all good people around, and even the Nascent Soul cultivator is not considered a villain, what on earth is going on
For the first time, Chen Chen felt that his wisdom had been challenged.
Before he could continue thinking, Zhao Hui suddenly became excited and slapped the Nascent Soul cultivator with a palm.
"I have no enmity with you, why did you frame me up! Go to hell!"
When he made a move, the expressions of everyone around him changed.
And Chen Chen was deep in thought, never expecting that he would come out like this. Before he could stop him, the Nascent Soul cultivator who was in a semi-conscious state was turned into a fan.
Nan Pinghai was furious and shouted: "Zhao Hui! What are you doing!"
After living in this endless sea for so many years, no one is stupid.
Zhao Hui killed someone on the spot. Doesn't this show a guilty conscience
Originally, he wanted to vouch for Zhao Hui, but now he can't do so.
The other ship owners also frowned, said nothing, and looked very ugly.
"Get him!"
Chen Chen's expression changed several times, and finally he shouted coldly.
With his order, Nanpinghai could only take action against Zhao Hui.
With the help of several other ship owners, Zhao Hui was quickly sealed and pinned against the wall.
Zhao Hui didn't say anything after being captured. He just stared at Nanpinghai with a very strange look in his eyes.
Nan Pinghai was so chilled by his stare that he simply stopped looking at him.
The reactions of this group of people were all seen by Chen Chen, which made Chen Chen feel even heavier.
"Lock him up first, and I will continue to investigate this matter."
After leaving these words, Chen Chen returned to his residence.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yuan Qingtian murmured in a low voice: "Brother, I think there must be something wrong with Nanpinghai. Look at how he has repeatedly defended Zhao Hui...
And brother, I wonder if you have noticed? The look in Zhao Hui's last look at Nan Pinghai was so weird! There is definitely something fishy between these two people! "
Chen Chen said nothing.
Yuan Qingtian, a fool, has already seen it, can he not see it
But he has absolute trust in the system.
With him as a moral benchmark, people with better character than him are probably considered moral role models.
Such a person would kill a Jade Cauldron Pill Sect disciple for a thousand pills
It's not necessary... everyone is not that kind of person.
Then why did Zhao Hui, a good man like him, kill the Nascent Soul cultivator in public
Chen Chen's mind was racing rapidly.
He is also a good person. If he does something bad one day, it must be... he was threatened!
At this thought, Chen Chen suddenly realized and quickly turned his head to look at Yuan Qingtian.
"Qingtian, go and check if there is anyone close to Zhao Hui, and see if anyone has disappeared recently. Remember, the actions must be kept confidential."
"yes!"
Although Yuan Qingtian was puzzled, he would fulfill Chen Chen's orders meticulously. After responding, he gradually disappeared and left the residence quietly.
Seeing this, Chen Chen used his spiritual consciousness to investigate, and found only a vague shadow.
This made him quite gratified. His level of consciousness was close to the peak of Yuan Shen, and he could only detect a trace of Yuan Qingtian.
If this was a Yuanshen realm monk with a weak spiritual consciousness, he might not be able to detect Yuan Qingtian.
This kid, during this period of time, has obviously been following his instructions to specialize in the art of divine concealment.
…
One day later.
Rumors began to spread in the Endless Sea that the Business Alliance intercepted and killed the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect.
Chen Chen's mood became increasingly heavy.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Yuan Qingtian appeared.
"Brother, I found out that Zhao Hui once had a Taoist companion, but he accidentally died while going to sea. This Taoist companion had a son with Zhao Hui.
But the son had always had a grudge against Zhao Hui because of his mother's death, so he usually did not stay with Zhao Hui, but practiced hard on another island.
But according to my investigation, Zhao Hui's son suddenly disappeared some time ago. "
Chen Chen took a deep breath when he heard this.
It was he who was as meticulous as a hair, witty and systematic, and he was also the master behind the business alliance, so he was not fooled.
If other monks from the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect came to investigate this matter, they would probably have fallen into the trap.
Who would have thought that they would intercept and kill the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect monks and snatch a thousand pills... as well as those pills circulating on the market... Nascent Soul casual cultivators... and Zhao Hui.
It all makes for a huge innings.
The reason why the people behind the scenes devised such a scheme was simply to arouse the conflict between the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect and the Merchant Alliance, and use the Jade Cauldron Alchemy Sect to attack the Merchant Alliance.
But it is just a blow, there is no need to make it so complicated, but if you want the Jade Cauldron Pill Sect to destroy the merchant alliance, this contradiction is really not strong enough.
After all, at this time, the Jade Cauldron Pill Sect focused all its energy on the frontal battlefield between the human and demon clans, and it was difficult to mobilize experts to come to the Endless Sea.
And if you want the Jade Cauldron Dan Sect to forcibly separate its forces and destroy the merchant alliance, unless the real highlight is yet to come.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
So what other methods will the forces behind the scenes use to drive a wedge between the Jade Cauldron Pill Sect and the Merchant Alliance
Boom, boom, boom!
"Your Majesty, it's your Majesty!"
At this moment, Nan Pinghai's voice suddenly came from the door.
"come in."
Chen Chen spoke calmly, and at the same time, a powerful force of spiritual consciousness was released, directly opening the door, and Nan Pinghai walked in with a look of shame.
"Sir, Zhao Hui and I have known each other for hundreds of years. I know his character best. It is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing."
Having said this, Nan Pinghai began to use his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice.
"Zhao Hui and I have been talking for a long time... Sir, he was forced!"
Chen Chen's face did not change after hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, "How do you say this?"
Nan Pinghai said nervously: "His only son was controlled by someone and is now imprisoned on Feilong Island... He dare not reveal any information until his only son is safe."
Chen Chen nodded slightly and continued to ask: "What do you think we should do?"
Nan Pinghai gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we can quietly go to Feilong Island and save his only son. Then all the truth will be revealed!"
Chen Chen's eyes flashed with light when he heard this, but he said nothing.
…
at the same time.
In a sealed barrier in the city, the scar-faced Zhao Hui's face was full of guilt and remorse, and he murmured inaudibly.
"Brother Pinghai... I'm sorry for you."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
