Ouyang Nan had always been eloquent. He already had a guilty conscience, and now with Shanxue's meticulously planned interrogation, he already knew that Shanxue must have some kind of evidence. This time, it seemed like he was in deep trouble, and his heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
Seeing Ouyang Nan's reaction, everyone became even more suspicious and whispered to each other.
Grand Senior Brother said in a low voice, "Ouyang Nan, answer whatever Shanxue asks you. Don't you know what you've been up to these past three days?"
Grand Senior Brother and Qin Mieqin had planned this for a long time, so it was natural that they were careful. They had long expected today's interrogation, so they were prepared.
Ouyang Nan calmed down and said loudly, "I went to Linjiang City to visit a relative. Why, Senior Brother Shanxue, do you want to interrogate my family too?"
Shanxue gave Ouyang Nan a meaningful look and said with a smile, "No need."
Ouyang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, then Shanxue smiled, "Because I've already sent someone to ask."
Ouyang Nan was enraged, "Shanxue you bastard, if you dare touch a hair on my family, I'll kill you!"
Shanxue's eyes flashed, then he smiled, "Oh?
If you're innocent, why are you so guilty? "
Ouyang Nan was about to continue scolding when Qin Mieqin pulled him back and said coldly, "Qian Shanxue, if you have evidence, just say it. What's the point of making empty promises?"
Shanxue smiled, "Of course I have evidence."
As he spoke, he rang the bell and the servant in black appeared again. This time, it was a middle-aged man.
Grand Senior Brother, Ouyang Nan, and Qin Mieqin's expressions changed when they saw this man.
Shanxue pointed at the man and smiled, "Do you all know this man?"
Someone immediately shouted, "Yes, he's Tong 'an City's Shopkeeper Sun!"
This Shopkeeper Sun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. There was a rune symbol embroidered on his chest, it was the symbol of the Eastern Mountain Sect. This sect was mainly responsible for dealing in talismans and materials for drawing arrays. The cultivators of the Spiritual Mountain Sect mostly thought of ways to be self-sufficient, or to purchase from within the sect. Very few cultivators would go out to purchase, but the person who shouted was none other than Shanxue's spy.
Shanxue smiled and bowed to Shopkeeper Sun, saying: "Shopkeeper Sun, in a moment, whatever I ask, you will answer, is that alright?"
Shopkeeper Sun was extremely flattered, cupping his hands in greeting: "This old man will answer all questions!
If there are any lies, let this old man's body and soul be destroyed, forever unable to reincarnate! "
Shanxue smiled and said, "Alright!
Then come and take a look. Did this cultivator go to your place to buy something a few days ago? "
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the Ouyang Nan that Shanxue was pointing at. Slightly nodding his head, he said: "Yes!"
Shanxue smiled meaningfully and said, "Then what did he buy?"
Shopkeeper Sun replied: "It's Eastern Stone Powder, Soul Suppressing Stone, Earth Dragon Overturning Stone and so on."
Some of the more experienced and powerful disciples began to curse loudly. Many people didn't understand what was going on and quickly asked around.
On the spot, there was a senior brother who liked to teach others earnestly, "Stupid, I told you to read more books!
These materials were all necessary to create the large-scale Heaven and Earth Quaking Formation!
Moreover, these materials had an extremely short shelf life. They only had a short shelf life of five days, so they had to be bought and used immediately!
We can't keep them in stock! "
Ouyang Nan's face was pale as he quickly looked at Qin Mieqin for help. Qin Mieqin frowned and subconsciously looked at his Eldest Senior Brother.
Eldest Senior Brother knew that if he didn't go up, they would lose everything!
If they were convicted, then what could they do even if they instigated internal strife among the other three heavenly pavilions?
Because if they were convicted, it would be equivalent to the destruction of Hidden Sword Court!
Even if the other three Heavenly Pavilions were to fight to the death, it would have nothing to do with them.
Eldest Senior Brother said coldly, "Shanxue, do you think you can close the case just like that?"
Shanxue sneered, "Now that the clues are clear, the motive is clear, and the witnesses are here, how can we not close the case!"
The two of them looked at each other, their gazes locked, the air seemed to heat up, like swords, spears, swords, and halberds clashing in the air.
Eldest Senior Brother sneered, "Then what's the motive?"
Shanxue immediately turned to Kong Yunzhen and bowed, "Uncle Kong, please understand!
Hidden Sword Court destroyed Shiwu Mountain, they had evil intentions, their goal was to instigate internal strife among the three heavenly pavilions, so that they could reap the benefits! "
Kong Yunzhen's sharp eyes looked towards the direction of Hidden Sword Court, he said, "Is what Shanxue said true?"
Grand Senior Brother immediately said, "Uncle Kong, what Shanxue said is pure speculation. He found two people to be witnesses, and slandered Junior Brother Ouyang for purchasing these materials. How can this be used as evidence against us for destroying Shiwu Mountain?
This is ridiculous! "
At this moment, Mieqin immediately followed up, "Uncle Kong, please understand, even if Senior Brother Ouyang did purchase these materials, how can you prove that he was the one who activated the array to destroy Shiwu Mountain?"
Shanxue sneered, "That's right, he can't, but with the two of you, it's possible!"
Grand Senior Brother said angrily, "Shanxue, you're slandering us!"
Shanxue immediately turned to Kong Yunzhen, "Uncle Kong, who in this world would admit to their crimes?
Why don't we torture them, then we'll know the truth! "
Kong Yunzhen was displeased, "Shanxue, do you know what you're saying?"
Mieqin was even angrier, "Shanxue, you have no evidence, what right do you have to torture us!"
Shanxue tilted his head and sneered at them, "Based on the fact that after Shiwu Mountain was destroyed, Hidden Sword Court benefited the most, while the other three heavenly courts suffered heavy losses!
What do you think, is this reason sufficient? "
This sentence immediately aroused the hatred in the hearts of the other three Heavenly Pavilions. Many people shouted angrily, "That's right!
If Shiwu Mountain is destroyed, where will our spiritual stones and spiritual jades come from?
How will our magical weapons be forged? "
"That's right, Hidden Sword Court has so few people, but we have so many people, what do you expect us to do?"
"He must be the one behind this!"
"Torture them, torture them!"
Faced with the angry crowd, Grand Senior Brother and Mieqin looked at each other, both of them had a miserable look on their faces. Obviously, they were still not prepared for the situation.
The biggest surprise was that Shanxue had been watching them for a long time!
Therefore, he had already set up a trap and targeted them!
Although he did not catch them on the spot when and where they activated the array, just this series of evidence and the incitement of the crowd was enough to make them suffer!
Kong Yunzhen also looked at Grand Senior Brother and the rest with an unfriendly gaze, he said coldly, "What do you have to say?"
Grand Senior Brother bit the bullet and said, "Where's the evidence!
If you want to frame someone, you can always find a pretext! "
Shanxue sneered, "Still so stubborn!
Uncle Kong, just like I said, who in this world would admit to their crimes?
Start the torture. How can you not tell the truth when you're being tortured? "
Kong Yunzhen stared at Grand Senior Brother and nodded slowly. Grand Senior Brother's expression changed drastically.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud voice, "Uncle Kong, what Senior Brother Shanxue said is ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"
