"Yuan Tiejiang reported to the headquarters that he suspected you were hiding the divine crystal."
Yuan Ping asked Yuan Youyuan: "Do you have any secret collection of divine crystals?"
Yuan Ping looked at Yuan Youyuan very nervously. If this was true, her talented niece would be completely finished.
Privately hoarding the divine crystal is a serious crime, and no one can bear this responsibility. No one dares to take this responsibility.
The Temple Headquarters has a rather lax management of the Temples in the alien domains, and usually appoints local strong men as warrior chiefs.
The headquarters rarely interferes in the specific management affairs of the temple.
However, the orders issued by the headquarters must be carried out. Especially the divine crystals, which are the most important resources of the headquarters. The holy halls are not allowed to hide them privately.
Of course, it is possible to kill the evil god in private. If it can be done without anyone noticing, it is also possible to hide the divine crystal privately.
Of course, the headquarters cannot monitor all the actions of the temples. However, the evil gods almost always rely on believers to survive, so there must be a lot of people where the evil gods are.
Killing the evil god would inevitably cause a violent fluctuation of source power. This is like an earthquake, even a low-energy earthquake would be detected.
It is almost impossible to conceal the action of killing the evil god from the local temple.
There must be multiple factions in the Holy Temple. Whoever secretly keeps the divine crystal will bear a huge risk.
The benefits of one or two divine crystals are actually limited. Few people are willing to gamble their lives for a divine crystal.
Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan killed evil gods successively in Jukun City. Every time an evil god died, the temple could monitor the violent fluctuations in source power when the evil god died.
These monitoring instruments will retain data and transmit it to the headquarters through two channels: Skynet and cyberspace.
Yuan Ping was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and she had to get to the bottom of the situation before the investigator arrived.
If Yuan Youyuan and Gao Xuanzhen secretly hid the divine crystal, there would be nothing we could do but detain them and wait for processing.
If this question had been asked yesterday, Yuan Youyuan must have felt guilty.
Today the situation was completely different. First, Gao Xuan helped her completely refine the divine crystal, and the Xuanyin Soul-Slaying Whip was forcibly upgraded to the fifth grade.
Having enjoyed the benefits of the divine crystal, it is too late to spit it out.
On the other hand, Gao Xuan also told her that regretting and hesitating at this point would only make her die faster.
There was no other way but to persevere to the end. Gao Xuan patted his chest and promised that if there was a real problem, he would solve it.
Seeing Gao Xuan's ability to refine the divine crystal, Yuan Youyuan felt more confident in Gao Xuan.
She was born in a noble family and knew how difficult it was to upgrade a magic weapon, especially a magic weapon of rank 6 or above. Gao Xuan was able to upgrade the grade of a magic weapon with just one divine crystal, which was simply amazing.
It's like giving trained people the ability to fly an airplane and even fix some simple problems.
Gao Xuan used a set of household screwdrivers to upgrade the J-8 into the J-20.
The more knowledgeable people are, the more they know how powerful Gao Xuan is.
Yuan Youyuan originally thought that she already knew Gao Xuan very well, but after this incident, Gao Xuan suddenly became unfathomable in her heart.
She had a feeling that this man's background was definitely not simple.
No matter how talented a man from a lower class family is, it is impossible for him to master such knowledge and abilities.
However, she also knew that she was now on Gao Xuan's pirate ship. Even if she wanted to jump off the ship, she would die first.
Only by staying on the boat can you survive the storm.
Moreover, Gao Xuan's ability is so extraordinary. As long as he can survive this time, he will have a bright future.
Yuan Youyuan said innocently, "Aunt, why is Yuan Tiejiang like this? We just killed a few evil gods, and he couldn't stand it."
Seeing Yuan Youyuan so confident, Yuan Ping was relieved. She thought for a moment and said, "Yuan Tiejiang has a bad personality, but he is a good person. He reported the problem because it is his duty, and it is not targeting you."
Yuan Ping said: "Since it involves the divine crystal, the headquarters will definitely send an investigator over. You should be prepared."
She reminded him, "The investigators will follow the procedure. They will most likely ask you to swear an oath before the Emperor. There is no chance of luck here."
Gao Xuan said solemnly: "We have a clear conscience and are not afraid of going through the process. We are just afraid that some people will deliberately make things difficult for us."
"With me here, no one dares to mess around."
Yuan Ping said: "We in the Yuan family are not pushovers. We will not let anyone bully us."
After coming out of Yuan Ping's room, Yuan Youyuan's face looked a little unhappy.
Returning to the room, Yuan Youyuan frowned: "What should we do? It's not too late to run now."
Without waiting for Gao Xuan to speak, Yuan Youyuan said: "The Black Soul Star Region, Yuanhai Star Region, and Blood Star Region, the power of the star region temples is extremely weak, we can hide in these places..."
Yuan Youyuan was completely calm at this time. As long as he swore to the Emperor of God, the truth would be revealed immediately.
Run as far as you can now while the investigators are not here. Yuan Ping was actually reminding them by talking to them.
Yuan Youyuan thought for a moment and said, "Since we've been exposed, let's kill a few more evil gods. We'll have to rely on ourselves when we get to the alien region."
Gao Xuan said softly, "Not really, not really."
Yuan Youyuan suddenly grabbed Gao Xuan's collar fiercely and said, "Why, you want to ditch me and run away? Impossible, you dragged me onto your pirate ship, and I will follow you for the rest of my life. We live together, and we die together."
"Ha ha… "
Gao Xuan laughed. He reached out and hugged Yuan Youyuan: "Don't worry, it's okay. Nothing will happen to us. I promise."
"I just believed your lies."
Yuan Youyuan sighed deeply, a trace of frustration appeared on her young and bright face, she turned around and said: "We can't be lucky, in front of the Divine Emperor, all lies will be exposed. I am willing to give up everything and run away with you, what else is there to be reluctant about!"
She looked at Gao Xuan deeply, her bright eyes were serious and determined.
Yuan Youyuan was a man of strong character and decisive. It was too late to regret now, and the only way for them to survive was to run away.
"I am very touched."
Gao Xuan was really a little surprised. In the face of the crisis, Yuan Youyuan's performance was perfect. He did not complain or regret. His thinking was very clear and he knew exactly what to do next.
This is not just because of emotion, it is also a very excellent quality.
Gao Xuan looked at Yuan Youyuan's bright dark eyes and said, "I'll tell you one thing. I was the one who killed Cao Ye."
"ah!"
Yuan Youyuan looked at Gao Xuan in extreme shock. The matter concerning Cao Ye had caused a huge uproar.
At that time, the Cao family suspected that Gao Xuan had killed Cao Ye. For this reason, all the trial warriors were forced to swear an oath in front of the Divine Emperor.
As a result, it was proven that Gao Xuan had nothing to do with Cao Ye's death, and the Cao family was also hit hard by this.
Gao Xuan now said that he killed Cao Ye, which means he lied to the Divine Emperor! Moreover, he has not been discovered yet...
Yuan Youyuan instinctively became suspicious. How could this be possible
The practitioners in the temple must use the divine rune seeds to practice, and after swearing an oath before the God-Emperor, they cannot lie.
This is not a simple matter of faith, but a subtle spiritual connection between the holy men and the Divine Emperor.
The mechanism here is extremely complicated. It is by no means possible to deceive the Emperor of God by self-deception or by using secret techniques or magical instruments.
Gao Xuan knew that Yuan Youyuan didn't believe him, so he stretched out his left hand and said, "This gauntlet is a modified version of the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade."
Yuan Youyuan touched the dark gold glove. This metal glove looked very beautiful and full of metallic texture, but it felt as soft as real leather.
"Is this the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade?"
"Yes. If you are interested, I can help you modify one."
Gao Xuan said: "It's just that the cost is a bit high."
"My mind is a little confused, leave me alone."
Yuan Youyuan felt that her brain was not enough. She covered her head and thought for a long time before she looked up and asked, "Does this mean that you can lie in front of the Divine Emperor?"
"That's right."
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "If I didn't have this ability, I wouldn't have taken the divine crystal."
Yuan Youyuan asked: "What should I do then?"
"I'll lie for you too, no problem."
Gao Xuan reminded: "Try to tell as few lies as possible. Just one lie is enough."
"I know."
Especially problems with magical instruments are easily exposed.
Fortunately, the level of the magic weapon has been improved, and outsiders can hardly see the problem. Unless they actively exert their power, outsiders can make judgments based on the energy reaction.
The next day, Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan took the initiative to attack and wipe out the evil gods everywhere.
As evil gods were killed one after another, the other evil gods in Jukun City also became particularly cautious, and their whereabouts were secretive.
However, no matter how hard these evil gods try to hide, their divine aura is like a flame in the dark night and cannot be concealed.
The levels of these evil gods are also very low, at most they are seventh grade, and there are even some eighth and ninth grade evil gods.
The reason these evil gods can exist is not because they are powerful, but because they hide deeply enough.
Gao Xuan doesn't even need to take action when facing these evil gods. Yuan Youyuan can turn them into ashes on the spot with just a flick of his Xuanyin Soul-Slaying Whip.
The fifth-grade Xuanyin Soul-Slaying Whip is really not something these low-level evil gods can resist.
Within a few days, Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan killed a total of thirteen evil gods and obtained eleven divine crystals.
Some evil gods are so weak that even divine crystals cannot be condensed into shape.
All divine crystals are registered and placed in the temple safe.
Yuan Youyuan and Gao Xuan's calmness made Yuan Tiejiang a little uneasy. He felt that he might have wronged these two people.
He was not afraid of revenge from Gao Xuan and the others, but he felt that he might be making a big deal out of nothing.
However, the matter of the divine crystal would not tolerate any sand in the sand. He had nothing to regret.
On the fifth day, the headquarters investigator and the envoy from the Cloud Light Temple arrived.
Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang came out to receive them. When Yuan Ping saw that the temple messenger was Cao Ming, his face turned a little unhappy.
Cao Ming is a master of the Cao family, but this time he came here as a representative of the Yunguang Holy Hall to accompany the investigator. This in itself is a very bad signal.
Everyone knows that the Cao family has a lot of complaints about Gao Xuan. This time, there is a chance to discipline Gao Xuan. Even if Gao Xuan has no faults, Cao Bin will find faults.
The investigator at the headquarters was a short-haired, capable beauty who looked to be in her early twenties. Her name was Shui Yunling.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that he is from the Shui family.
Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five great families can be said to be the five overlords of the Holy Hall. People born in these five families are naturally superior to others.
Shui Yunling was also rather aloof, and his words naturally carried a tone of command.
"Where are Yuan Youyuan and Heihu?" Shui Yunling asked.
"They're out on a mission."
Yuan Ping said carefully: "I'll ask them to come back immediately."
Shui Yunling asked coldly: "Since the two are suspects, they are criminals. According to the regulations, they should be detained on the spot. How dare you allow them to travel freely?"
She looked at Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang deeply: "Do you not understand the rules, or are you deliberately indulging me?"
This question made Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang feel a little embarrassed. The atmosphere also became a little solemn.
Yuan Ping had not expected that the people from the headquarters would be so arrogant. She secretly complained in her heart: "Trouble..."
