Sure enough, none of the sects present were able to leave. The Chongxuan faction stood up with several elder-level figures, bluntly saying that they would investigate the cause of Ye Yuan's death.
Everyone present heard what this meant. If the Chongxuan faction is just a small sect that can't be ranked, they can ignore it, but the other party is one of the best sects in the current cultivation world, so the face still has to be given.
Ye Yuan is the only daughter of the sect master. Before entering the secret realm, she must be equipped with various protective magic weapons, and this secret realm is not the first time it has been opened. It has never happened before...
It is not uncommon for monks to kill people and seize treasures. It can even be said that it has always existed. People in the Chong Xuan faction will now suspect other people who have entered the secret realm. In some respects, it is normal.
People who have no ghosts in their hearts are naturally very magnanimous, and they have no objection when they hear people from the Chongxuan faction say that they want to accept the emptiness. It will take some time to draw this formation, and they can afford it.
During this time.
"Huh?" Feeling the sleeve being torn off, Gu Yan lowered his head and made a questioning tone to the black-haired child pulling his sleeve.
For more than half a year, the gluttonous cub he has raised has grown a little taller in terms of height, and it is not as thin and thin as when he first saw it, and his chin was finally raised by him...
"... Master."
The young man looked at him as if he was thinking about something, suddenly raised his hand, and the slender and beautiful fingers touched his chin. Jiang Tan lowered his eyes to look, except for whispering the words just now, he is now standing quietly.
It feels good in the hand, no longer a little pointy like before. Unable to control his hand, Gu Yan squeezed lightly on the chin he was touching, when he happened to hear the other party calling him.
But it was too late to stop pinching, and being watched by a pair of black eyes that seemed to have become darker in color, Gu Da responded, pretending to be casual and pinching more on the lower jaw he was touching.
Then Gu Yan saw the young figure lowered his eyes and head, and continued to stand still, but his earlobes turned slightly red.
The balls in this world are very easy to tease. Gu Yan first thought of this idea, or maybe it was because of the identities of the two parties, the master and the apprentice or something...
However, Gu Yan didn't have any idea about the young figure in front of him now, he just wanted to take care of this cub. There is no certainty about what will happen in the future, it will only be known when the time comes.
Continue like this, only the teacher-disciple relationship is not bad.
This is what I thought at this moment, and when the so-called 'time has come', Gu Da Da realized how naive he was in this idea. This is not something he can continue if he wants to.
Because of this episode, Jiang Tan didn't give out the gift that he was going to give to the young man in front of him for a while, and relaxed the hand that was holding the bottle, inadvertently revealing a small part of the bottle.
As for the elders of the sect, they began to pay attention to the people here without leaving any traces when they said that they wanted to recruit spirits.
With the cooperation of several elder-level figures, the formation of the conjuring spirit was completed in only two hours.
There is a saying in the world of self-cultivation that kill the young and bring the old. The reason is that this emptiness summons the spirit formation, which can attract the souls of the dead, and ask the cause of death when the souls are still relatively intact.
Over there, he was chanting a mantra to activate the formation, and Gu Yan stayed at the place where the same door gathered, with his hand lightly on the head of the young figure next to him. Thinking of his trick just now, Da Da Gu is now rubbing the opponent's head like he is smoothing the cub's hair.
Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped a little, and it was colder than before. Gu Yan moved his gaze to the formation, and the spirits that were summoned couldn't condense the human form at all.
Remnant soul, and remnant badly. The main soul that dominates consciousness is not here, and the remaining three souls and seven souls are all incomplete—
The main soul is probably wiped out, otherwise even the incomplete three souls and seven souls have been recruited, and the main soul cannot be absent. This is basically a man-made incident. After killing Ye Yuan, the perpetrator also split her soul, although I don't know how.
Several elders of the Chongxuan Sect obviously realized this, and their faces became somewhat unsightly. It's not under the nose, but it's just a space away, how can the face of the disciples of their own sect encounter this kind of thing.
With such a broken soul, it is impossible to ask about the cause of death. And just when the situation was stalemate, the shapeless remnant moved.
"..." Pulling the young figure beside him behind him to block, Gu Yanjing looked calm, and confronted the remnant soul who was approaching in front of him.
The coercion of the young man made it impossible for the remnant soul to approach the target character, but he refused to leave, so a stalemate scene was formed.
The target of this remnant soul is obviously the person who was pulled behind by the youth to block it. This can be seen as long as the eyes of the people present are not blind. Watching the fun is not too big of a deal. Except for the Guanlan Sect and the Chongxuan Sect, all the sects are now quietly observing the development of the matter.
"It seems that your sect should give an explanation." The highest-ranking elder of the Chongxuan sect in this trip came with the rest, with a very unkind tone and a calm expression.
There is no way to ask the reason for the remnant soul, but now this remnant soul takes the initiative to approach a person who had nothing to do with it, and still refuses to leave...
There are so many people present, but they only get close to this person. Just think about it, can't you understand the reason just by thinking about it
"This disciple hasn't done it." In front of him was the young man's back standing in front of him. Thinking of the day when everything started to change, Jiang Tan couldn't help but say the exact same words as that day. The voice was the same as usual, and the words were clear.
The eyes that looked at the murderer were no different from those around him, but it didn't matter whether others believed it or not, as long as the young man believed in him, Jiang Tan would not feel uncomfortable.
"I know for the teacher." Gu Yan first replied to his apprentice without responding. He didn't know the reason or the specific process, but Gu Yan thought he could figure out the nature of the child he raised.
If it was the blackened version, Gu Yan wouldn't be surprised if he did something a hundred times crueler, because the other party could indeed do it. But he has raised this child well now, and the word 'blackening' has nothing to do with it.
I ate a lot of heaven-grade spirit stones as snacks, how could I still need eye-catching treasures to kill people. But Gu Yan knew this kind of truth, but these menacing people in front of him would not pay attention.
"My disciple wouldn't do such a thing." He couldn't explain why this remnant of the soul would follow him. Even if he was used to protect his disciple, Gu Yan still didn't move his body at all.
"Senior Gu, don't joke, Junior Sister Ye Yuan's soul is right here. If it wasn't for Jiang Tan's actions, why would Junior Sister Ye's soul follow him after he was recruited? This is clearly because of his resentment towards him." A young disciple of the Xuan faction spoke, it was Ji Rong who had also entered the secret realm before.
Listening to this sentence, it will make sense in the ears of the audience, especially if they think along the lines of this sentence, they will gradually complete a set of events in their hearts that they feel are very reasonable.
It was an unrecognizable fact that the remnant soul was with Jiang Tan. Coupled with the guidance of words, most of the people present quickly settled on the 'truth' in their hearts.
Jiang Tan walked out from behind the young man, and his desire to grow up quickly became stronger every time. He is like this now, and he wants the young man to block the gazes that pierce his body for him, and even if he wants to block the young man, his current figure cannot block the young man.
"This can't be used as evidence." Gu Yan said in a low voice, not even raising his eyelids in the face of the disciple's accusations.
In the eyes of some people, this sentence is a bit of a shame. Isn't it because the remnant can't speak.
An elder with a relatively irascible temper in the Chongxuan faction almost wanted to take action directly, but his move was suppressed. And the young disciple who spoke before said something again. After listening to the elder of the Chongxuan faction who had just asked Gu Yan for an explanation, he made a request for a 'body search' in a deep voice.
"Junior Brother." Seeing that the young man still had a cold expression and seemed to have the same tough attitude as before, Song Li, the peak master of Tianjian Peak who was traveling with him, went over to put his shoulders: "Why don't you let them check and give up."
At this time, the young man nodded slightly, but his expression became a little colder.
"Qinglian Flame Heart—?!"
Forced to open his hands, Jiang Tan clenched the sealed bottle in his hand and exposed it to everyone. Even though the flame was sealed in the bottle, through the transparent bottle, people who knew the goods could still recognize the treasure at a glance.
This is something that many alchemists and pharmacists have dreamed of getting their hands on. For a moment, everyone present didn't even pay attention to the murderer or anything, and their eyes were all fixed on the small bottle.
Then the person who searched the body found a sheathed dagger from the sleeve of the young black-haired figure. The moment the dagger was pulled out of its sheath for inspection, the remnant soul that followed was frantically agitated. Attack the person holding the dagger.
As long as whoever holds this dagger, this remnant of the soul will viciously want to attach to that person.
At this point, Jiang Tan couldn't understand the reason. He stared at the young disciple named Ji Rong. The latter did not look back, and kept looking at him.
Feared but also joyful, Ji Rong didn't want to look at the person who was dragged as a scapegoat by himself. Anyway, this matter has now been settled, and no one will doubt him.
He is also the chief disciple, he has always been the most talented among his peers, but because Ye Yuan is the only daughter of the head, any good resources in the sect will be dumped on Ye Yuan first. When he came to him, it was Ye Yuan who picked the rest.
It's not fair. This thought has been kept in his heart for nearly ten years. When Ye Yuan said that he was going to take possession of the found spiritual weapon in the secret realm this time, Ji Rong's unwillingness and dissatisfaction that had been buried in his heart for nearly ten years finally came out all at once.
Just kill it, let this person not exist. Thinking of this, the corner of Ji Rong's mouth secretly raised a radian. From now on, he will no longer have to be pressed on his head by someone who is obviously inferior to himself.
Knowing that these people couldn't believe him, Jiang Tan clenched the Spirit Sealing bottle in his hand. He only repeated what he said to the young man, instead of explaining the truth to others.
"The teacher knows." He believed, but only he believed and could not change the current situation.
"If people want to be taken back to the sect by us to do such a dehumanizing thing, the conviction and punishment must be dealt with severely." After speaking, the white-bearded cultivator sacrificed the spirit lock: "All the daoists present are witnesses. , it's not my Chongxuan faction deceiving people."
