As he said that, the passerby rushed into the inner room and pinned Qin Wanwan down.
Qin Wanwan glanced around.
Ning Yan was obviously well prepared, as all the experts of the Ning family were in this yard.
She did not struggle any more, turned her head and glanced at the next door, reminding Ning Xuanyan: "Then where is my master?"
Jian Xingzhi has fallen into a dream and is currently in a coma, which will help him clear himself of suspicion.
Ning Yan knew what she was reminding him of, and said, "He drank too much and is now in a coma. He has been carried to the Punishment Hall."
Then he turned and walked out: "Let's go."
Qin Wanwan was put into the immortal-locking cuffs that bound her spiritual power and dragged out. When she reached the yard, she saw Nanfeng and Jian Xingzhi outside the door. Jian Xingzhi was placed on a stretcher, and his hands were also in immortal-locking cuffs. Nanfeng was also standing next to Jian Xingzhi with shackles. When he saw Qin Wanwan, he excitedly shouted, "Master!"
The guard held Nan Feng down and shouted, "Don't do anything rash!"
Qin Wanwan comforted him: "It's okay."
As she spoke, she glanced at the place not far away where Xie Gutang and Cuilu were standing on the corridor. Cuilu was waving a fan, still looking as carefree as usual, as if nothing had happened to her. Xie Gutang was staring at her with his fists clenched, his eyes full of nervousness.
"Take the person with you," Cui Lu waved her round fan and looked at Ning Yanyan, "but you have already told me that this is a guest of my ghost town. If you do something wrong without sufficient evidence, don't blame me for making you suffer!"
"You are wrong." Xie Gutang also said, "If you slander others without any evidence, the Tianjian Sect will not sit idly by and watch."
Ning Xingyan heard this, his pale face smiled a little: "Don't worry, we are here to find out the real murderer who killed our ancestor, not to frame someone else. After all, our Ning family has no grudges with Jian Xingzhi and his disciple, so we would not do such a thing."
After getting Ning Xingyan's guarantee, Cui Lu and Xie Gutang didn't say much. Ning Xingyan waved his hand and had someone lift Jian Xingzhi up and lead Qin Wanwan to the punishment hall.
Qin Wanwan observed the surroundings along the way. The ancestor of the Ning family was poisoned, and the teapot used to poison him had Jian Xingzhi's fingerprints and scent on it. This could be explained anyway.
Qin Wanwan walked out of the courtyard and used her spiritual sense to check the teapots in every room in the courtyard. Everyone's teapot was on the table, except Xie Gutang's.
She Sichen did not say anything. After the pedestrians arrived at the punishment hall, they saw the room was filled with members of the Ning family.
Jun Shu had already been kneeling on the spot. When he saw Qin Wanwan coming, he didn't say much, but lowered his head and pretended to know her.
The head of the family, Ning Wenxu, sat in the first seat. His eyes were red, and he had obviously been crying. A young man stood beside him and comforted him: "Dad, don't be too sad. We will find the murderer and avenge grandpa."
Qin Wanwan glanced at the young man and recognized him as Ning Xiu, the lover in Su Yueli's dream when she was in the Questioning Heart Sect.
Ning Jianyan led the people in and bowed to Ning Wenxu: "Master, the suspect has been brought in. Jianxing is still in a coma."
"Bring the antidote and wake him up."
Ning Wenxu calmed himself down, gave instructions to Ning Wenxu, then looked up at Qin Wanwan and Jian Xingzhi.
The moment he saw Jian Xingzhi, Ning Wenxu was stunned: "This..."
He didn't finish his words, and some older people around him looked over, most of them stood there in shock.
But someone quickly calmed down. Ning Yanyan had someone bring the antidote for the dream-destroying spell over. After Jian Xingzhi smelled it, he suddenly opened his eyes, did a somersault in the air, and stood up on one knee. He glanced around with a sharp look and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Master," Qin Wanwan knelt on the ground and called him softly, "something happened. The ancestor of the Ning family died, and they said you killed him."
"How can this be?!"
Jian Xingzhi looked at Qin Wanwan in shock: "Why do they say that?"
"Just based on this." Ning Xiuxiu took out a teapot and put it on the table. "Someone swapped the teapot that the ancestor usually used in the middle of the night and put this teapot on the table. I poured water for my grandfather and fed him to drink. Then he died of poison. The water contains the dream of awakening. The dream of awakening is harmless to ordinary people, but it is highly poisonous to the ancestor. This kettle was deliberately swapped. It is obvious that someone wants to harm the ancestor! And this kettle has your and this servant's fingerprints and spiritual breath."
As he spoke, Ning Xiuxiu raised his hand and wiped it. Several fingerprints on the kettle lit up. He looked at Jian Xingzhi and said, "And last night a guard saw you leaving the yard and running on the roof. So you must have poisoned the kettle, sneaked into the old ancestor's room and replaced the kettle he usually used, and murdered him!"
"You said..." Jian Xingzhi frowned, "You traveled thousands of miles to exchange your ancestor's kettle with your own kettle in order to murder him?"
"That's right." Ning Xiuxiu responded, "With all the evidence and witnesses, you still want to deny it?"
"Why should I poison his kettle directly? It's so obvious to change the kettle." Jian Xingzhi thought carefully, "Besides, he is so sick, I can sneak into his room and kill him easily, why do I need to poison him?"
Ning Xixiu was stumped by this question. Ning Xiyan frowned and nodded: "That does make sense."
"This is clearly a frame-up!" Qin Wanwan immediately followed up after hearing Jian Xingzhi's words, explaining, "My master saved your ancestor in the first place, so there's no motive for killing him."
"That's true." Ning Yanyan continued to nod.
Ning Xiuxiu was a little anxious: "Cousin, who are you helping?!"
Ning Yu paused for a moment, then said, "I want to catch the real murderer, not to wrongly accuse others."
"Then tell me," Ning Xiu looked at Jun Shu, "Why are there your fingerprints on this kettle? What is your relationship with this matter?"
Jun Shu didn't say anything, Ning Xiu shouted: "If you don't tell me, then you are the murderer!"
"I..." Jun Shu stuttered. He looked at Qin Wanwan, with thoughts in his heart.
Now is the best opportunity to kill Jian Xingzhi. As long as he identifies Jian Xingzhi, the Ning family will definitely kill him.
But now he is Qin Wanwan's lover, how can he point out Jian Xingzhi in front of Qin Wanwan and make Qin Wanwan hate him
Jun Shu thought about it and came up with an idea: "I have indeed touched this kettle."
"How could a servant like you who sweeps the floor touch the kettle in the guest room?"
When Ning Xiu saw Jun Shu speaking, he quickly asked. Jun Shu thought for a moment and said, "In fact, the Meng Buxing in the kettle was purchased from Jujian Villa by Jian Daojun."
Hearing this, Jian Xingzhi turned back coldly: "Did I ask you to buy it?"
"That's right," Jun Shu nodded. "You said it would be useful, so I bought it for you. But after I bought it, I asked you what you were going to do. You said you were going to drug Miss Qin and make her and you a fait accompli, so that she would leave you."
Jian Xingzhi was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Qin Wanwan couldn't help but look back and was also shocked.
Jun Shu lowered his head and continued to lie: "I love Miss Qin in my heart. I felt very relieved when I heard that. I thought about it and wanted to steal the medicine back last night. I happened to see Jian Daojun putting the medicine in. After putting the medicine in, he went to the toilet halfway. I wanted to go into the room to steal the kettle, but I thought he was back again. I could only hide under the table. Then I heard him walk out, but he didn't go to Miss Qin's room. Instead, he went outside. Not long after, Ning Mansion became chaotic."
"Did you hear that?!"
Ning Xiu heard what was said and said anxiously: "There are witnesses and evidences, and he still wants to deny it. Dad," Ning Xiu turned his head and looked at Ning Wenxu, "Catch him!"
Ning Wenxu didn't say anything. He held the teacup and looked at Jian Xingzhi, as if he was thinking about something.
Jian Xingzhi met his gaze and examined the old man, while secretly storing his spiritual power at one end of the Immortal Locking Curse.
Qin Wanwan glanced around and smiled: "Master Ning, you didn't kill the man. You are only thinking about finding the truth. Why are you so anxious to find a scapegoat?"
"What do you mean?"
Ning Xiu turned back coldly when he heard this. Qin Wanwan smiled and said, "I don't mean anything."
"Then you say," Ning Xiuxiu felt a little uneasy because of Qin Wanwan's smile. He looked at Jian Xingzhi, "If you hadn't killed the person, then this slave..."
"I am a slave." Jun Shu couldn't help but interrupt Ning Xiu.
Ning Xiu yelled at him: "Shut up!"
Ning Xiuxiu turned his head and continued, "The fingerprints on the kettle, and what were you doing on the rooftop in the middle of the night?"
"okay."
Jian Xingzhi listened to Ning Xiuxiu's long talk and sneered, "If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Do you admit it?"
"I didn't kill him," Jian Xingzhi said, standing up. He glanced around and said casually, "But even if I did, what can you do?"
"Everyone!"
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan became anxious. She also stood up and hurriedly explained: "My master is talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously."
"What are you afraid of? They want to kill us. Can you see it?"
"Master, there are five Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivators here, why are you talking nonsense?"
"Don't be afraid."
Jian Xingzhi said, raised his hand to push Qin Wanwan away, and stepped forward: "In the past, I was the only one who could handle it, but now you and I have joined forces. You only need to help a little, and I will take care of the rest."
“Master!”
Qin Wanwan didn't know where Jian Xingzhi got the courage from, so she held him back and said, "Calm down!"
"Wait, I'll stop the people and you start the magic circle."
Jian Xingzhi sent a message to her. Qin Wanwan was confused. Seeing her hesitation, Jian Xingzhi frowned and said, "Ning Wenxu has murderous intentions. He will probably let us go. Don't be shy at this time. I will stop them first to attract their firepower. You immediately open the magic circle and we will leave together."
"wait… "
Qin Wanwan finally realized where his confidence came from. Before she could utter "wait", she saw the Immortal Locking Shackles on Jian Xingzhi's hands suddenly exploded. Jian Xingzhi raised his hand and pulled out the long sword of the person next to him, and used the sword to cut the shackles on Qin Wanwan's hands, then turned around and stabbed straight at Ning Wenxu!
This action shocked everyone. Qin Wanwan cried out that it was not good. Now there was no room for maneuver. She could only listen to Jian Xingzhi's words. She grabbed Nanfeng and threw him outside, using Nanfeng to clear a way. She drew her sword and chased after him, fleeing madly towards the outside.
Jian Xingzhi's stab was just a feint. Five Jinhua-stage cultivators testified that before he reached Ning Wenxu, countless sword lights had already flown towards him. However, he was even faster. A split second before the sword lights arrived, he retreated directly and rushed out after Qin Wanwan.
Qin Wanwan chopped off Nanfeng's handcuffs in mid-air and ordered him, "Run like an ant!"
Nanfeng instantly turned into a small ant, crawled into the crack in the ground and fled to the surrounding area.
Some people's focus was on Jian Xingzhi and Qin Wanwan. No one cared when Nanfeng escaped. Hundreds of lightsabers chased Jian Xingzhi out. Jian Xingzhi caught up with Qin Wanwan, and he and Qin Wanwan blocked the flying lightsabers while urging her, "Open the magic circle!"
"What magic circle do you want to open?!"
Qin Wanwan was filled with grief and indignation. Jian Xingzhi hated her for still pretending and shouted: "The Jishan Teleportation Array! The array that can be activated instantly and teleport you away!"
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan was stunned. At that moment, a lightsaber flew towards her. Jian Xingzhi pulled her towards him and raised his hand to turn it. The sword spun very fast in his hand, like a shield, clanking against those lightsabers.
Qin Wanwan recovered and immediately explained: "I know how to do it!"
"How could you not!"
Jian Xingzhi was anxious: "You are still pretending now!"
"I really can!"
Qin Wanwan wanted to split his brain: "That's the top-level magic array of Jishan, Yuanying period, what the hell!"
Jian Xing was very surprised. Even after saying this, Qin Wanwan was still happy. It was obvious that she was really capable.
How could she not
She ranks 21st in the Immortal Realm in terms of combat power. She is said to be the strongest female immortal with unlimited potential. She has a golden sign at the entrance of the South Heaven Gate. Everyone tells her that she is the person who is most likely to defeat her. How could she be the top-level magic formation of Jishan?!
This thought only lingered in his mind for a moment, and he immediately calmed himself down.
The most important thing now is this matter. The most important thing is, what will they do if Qin Wanwan fails
"Master," Qin Wanwan was also a little panicked. She and Jian Xingzhi stood back to back trying to block the lightsaber. She was full of expectations. "You can take down the Ning family by yourself. Is that okay?"
Jian Xingzhi was silent for a moment, then he hesitated and said, "I can come back and take care of them in the future."
It's over, there is no future.
Qin Wanwan understood immediately after hearing this. Given Jian Xingzhi's current situation, it would be too difficult for him to challenge the Ning family alone.
The two men suppressed their anger and remained silent. Qin Wanwan wanted to curse, but she felt that cursing at this time would shake the morale of the troops.
She endured and tried hard. Jian Xingzhi stood back to back with her. After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and said calmly: "They are mainly targeting me. I can control these swords for a quarter of an hour. You can run."
"how about you?"
From what Qin Wanwan said, she knew that Jian Xingzhi was planning to use up the spiritual consciousness in his sea of consciousness to control these lightsabers. His sea of consciousness could collapse at any time. She didn't know what the consequences of doing so would be.
"Why do you care so much?"
Jian Xingzhi frowned and said, "I'll count to one, two, three. I'll control the lightsaber. Don't look back. Just run out."
Qin Wanwan spoke up and said that this was the best way now. If they continued, both of them would die here.
She didn't know why, but when she thought of Jian Xingzhi staying here, she felt annoyed and a little uncomfortable.
She gritted her teeth and finally said, "I will find a way to save you."
"I appreciate it."
Jian Xingzhi said decisively, and ordered Qin Wanwan: "Block it for me."
Qin Wanwan raised her hand and used her sword to push the lightsaber back several inches. She raised her hand and injected the Silent Mountain Formation from her arm into the hilt of the sword, which burst out from the tip of the sword and formed a light shield to block the front.
Countless lightsabers collided with the light shield. Jian Xingzhi closed his eyes, held the sword in his left hand, and put two fingers of his right hand between his lips.
He muttered a spell and began to mobilize his spiritual consciousness.
The ground around her was humming. Qin Wanwan struggled to resist the lightsaber attack. She felt the ground cracking and small broken stones floating up.
Everyone noticed it, the birds were startled and faintly, someone seemed to be calling out.
"Speaking."
The voice was very gentle.
Ning Wenxu suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out of the lobby.
"Hey."
After Jian Xingzhi finished chanting the spell, light began to condense at the tip of the sword.
"Speaking."
The female voice became clearer.
The ground was shaking more and more violently. Qin Wanwan and Jian Xingzhi didn't notice that a light array was faintly lighting up under their feet.
"two."
Jian Xingzhi had cold sweat on his forehead. Qin Wanwan gradually felt that the power of the lightsaber attack outside was weakening, as if it was being suppressed by something.
"three!"
Jian Xingzhi suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could shout "run", light rose up under their feet and the two of them disappeared in an instant.
Only a gentle female voice floated in the air.
"Come to my sister."
