The Discipline Hall found out the cause of death of Wu Shuangshuang. There were no fatal injuries on her body, and it was suspected that she died of spiritual collapse.
Generally speaking, if you can endure the burning flames of the Sea of Fire, your physical strength will be improved. For example, the strength of several people who experienced the same thing as Wu Shuangshuang improved a little, but only Wu Shuangshuang died.
The Discipline Hall notified Wu Sheng and others to come over. During this time, Chao Yan and Xie Jiuniang communicated through telepathy.
Xie Jiuniang confessed some things to him, but she didn't mention the murder explicitly. After all, who knew if there was anyone here who could hear their conversation, so everything she said was biased towards herself.
Anyway, she is extremely innocent.
Then she took out a shadow stone and handed it to Chaoyan.
Chao Yan raised an eyebrow.
Then he used his spiritual sense to check, and his handsome face suddenly turned cold.
The Great Elder did not miss the little action of the master and disciple, and took another look at the shadow stone.
Chao Yan did not hide the existence of the Shadow Stone, and everyone present could see it.
The Great Elder asked: "Chao Yan, evidence?"
"It is evidence, but it is not." Chao Yan put away the shadow stone, obviously not intending to show it to anyone for the time being. "My disciple has always been sensible and obedient. He encountered this incident on his first trip to the trial ground. The Discipline Hall still needs to find out the truth and clear my disciple's name. Good disciple, tell me in detail about your experience in there."
"Okay, Master."
Xie Jiuniang spoke calmly and seriously about entering the trial ground.
He told every word of the conversation with Mo Chuan.
Even the tracking powder was planted on him, from the fog array to the sea of fire...
"I had just entered the Fire Sea Realm, and hadn't come to my senses yet, when I suddenly felt someone attacking me from behind..." Xie Jiuniang described this passage in great detail, with ups and downs like a storyteller, and she even danced with her hands and feet when she got to the key parts.
From beginning to end, I didn't feel guilty at all.
You know what, it’s quite well said!
The people present were all people of status in the sect, and it could be seen that they were not lying.
After Xie Jiuniang finished talking about the ambush, she brought up the matter of the stone chamber with a maze of mechanisms.
"That veterinary disciple is very powerful. He can fight on equal terms with Senior Sister Ren Bingyan." Xie Jiuniang sighed and took out the maze map and the mechanical devices on the wall as evidence.
After Chao Yan looked at it, he threw it to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder took it and checked, and found that it was indeed true.
There was no need for Xie Jiuniang to tell her about this part. The disciples who came out early had already spread the news that there was a map of the maze. Xie Jiuniang had a copy of it, proving that this part was not a lie.
Until Xie Jiuniang mentioned that she was being hunted...
At this time, Chao Yan took out the shadow stone and asked the great elder and others to check it.
But after they had looked at it, Chao Yan took it back and said, "This is important evidence, let me keep it."
At this time, Wu Sheng came in with a gloomy face.
Following behind him were Miao Shu and others.
One of the disciples looked pale, obviously hurt.
Wu Sheng stared at Chao Yan sinisterly: "What evidence do you have? Can you let me see it? Your disciple killed my disciple..."
"This is interesting. You sent people to kill my disciple, and you dare to bite back? I strongly suspect that your disciple's death was also caused by you, just to frame my disciple. But you, a Yuanying, are too shameless. You chased her in the back mountain last time, and now you are playing dirty tricks again..." Chao Yan didn't control his words, which made Wu Sheng angry to death.
Wu Sheng interrupted Chao Yan, "Chao Yan!"
"You dare to do it and don't let people say it?" Chao Yan's smile did not reach his eyes.
The Great Elder and the others understood that the two had a grudge against each other for a long time.
Wu Sheng noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely, and his heart sank. Did they believe Chao Yan's words
Is the Discipline Hall going to stand on Chao Yan's side
The Great Elder said, "Let's investigate further, and then we can confront each other."
Mo Yu stepped forward and called for his disciples to take Miao Shu and the other six away, and ordered: "Interrogate them separately again. If there are any suspicions or inconsistencies, you can use extraordinary measures."
After these words were spoken, Miao Shu and Liu Ya looked unhappy.
When questioned by the Discipline Hall earlier, they concealed something but did not lie.
Of course, hiding something is not good for them... For example, following Xie Jiuniang? But they were just following her and wanted to teach her a lesson, but they didn't have time to do anything.
However, the faces of the four disciples from the Wu family's side branch changed drastically, and even Wu Sheng felt that the situation was not good.
That so-called shadow stone... could it be that it favors Disciple Chao Yan
Initially, the Discipline Hall did not detain several disciples of Fafeng because they were part of Wu Shuangshuang's group and were the victims. Even if Xie Jiuniang came out alive and let several people testify against her, she would be unable to defend herself.
Those in the Discipline Hall have seen the Shadow Stone and naturally know what is going on.
The contracted beast of one of the disciples died, and he could not clear himself from the matter of hunting down Xie Jiuniang.
Wu Sheng's face turned pale: "Great Elder, what do you mean? They are all victims."
"They are not innocent... Do you want to take a look at the Shadow Stone?" The Great Elder looked at Chao Yan and motioned him to let Wu Sheng see the Shadow Stone.
Chao Yan did not hand the shadow stone to Wu Sheng.
As if to deliberately disgust Wu Sheng, he used magic to reveal the contents of the shadow stone in public.
Those people had not been interrogated by the Discipline Hall before.
During this separate interrogation, the two female cultivators were the first to be unable to bear it and told the truth. They really followed Xie Jiuniang, which matched what Xie Jiuniang had confessed before.
Those male practitioners seemed to have agreed on their statements beforehand.
He put the blame on the dead Wu Shuangshuang and didn't mention Wu Sheng at all.
Wu Shuangshuang had a bad reputation in Fafeng. It was said that she had harmed some disciples during missions, but the case was dropped without any evidence. She also found fault at Xie Jiuniang's apprenticeship banquet, and everyone knew that she was hostile to Xie Jiuniang. The other two female disciples also indirectly "confirmed" the confessions of the four disciples.
Wu Shuangshuang was indeed looking for trouble with Xie Jiuniang.
This failed to harm anyone, but instead cost him his life
After checking the confessions of several people, Mo Yu said seriously: "According to the six people's statements, the person was not dead before they activated the wooden sign for Wu Shuangshuang. So the person died after he came out."
Wu Sheng found it a little hard to accept.
However, the six people were interrogated by the people from the Discipline Hall and their confessions were unanimous, so their credibility was extremely high.
Chao Yan read the testimony and said sarcastically, "He was clearly killed, but you insisted that my apprentice killed him. Wu Sheng, if it happens again, you will be put on the stage."
Then Chao Yan looked at the Great Elder seriously and said, "We want justice for this matter."
"This matter will be handled according to the sect rules. An announcement will be made after the details are discussed." The Great Elder did not speak.
In the end, not only did Wu Sheng fail to use Wu Shuangshuang's death to drag Xie Jiuniang into the water, but he also got involved with a disciple from the Wu family's side branch.
The fact that they attacked Xie Jiuniang on the shadow stone was confirmed, and they had no chance to argue.
As for the cause of Wu Shuangshuang's death, no one paid attention to it anymore.
The suspicious disciple mentioned by both sides has not yet been found by the Discipline Hall, but they know that he is a veterinarian in the outer sect Xianhe Garden and a foundation-building disciple who can fight with Ren Bingyan.
Xie Jiuniang also deliberately left a portrait of Mo Chuan in disguise.
The portrait was kept by several other people. Before Xie Jiuniang came out, the Discipline Hall couldn't find out who it was. Now that Xie Jiuniang provided clues, it is not difficult to find the person.
