When Li Xuanming heard what Kong Yunzhen said, he naturally could not refute. He raised his hand and bowed. "Then disciple will take his leave first. I await your good news."
Although this matter was related to Hidden Modesty Court, they were not responsible for any arrests. Hence, they could only stay out of the matter and wait for Ghostly Walker to arrest them.
Just as Li Xuanming was about to leave, he saw a figure flash in front of Kong Yunzhen's mansion. Grand Senior Sister appeared at the door. She and Li Xuanming looked at each other, then nodded and walked past each other.
After Grand Senior Sister watched Li Xuanming leave, she said to Kong Yunzhen, "Uncle Kong, what did you call me for?"
Kong Yunzhen stared gloomily at Grand Senior Sister for a while, then slowly said, "Ghostly Walker has found out that it's just as you said, there are demons infiltrating Spirit Mountain!"
Grand Senior Sister was silent for a while, then said, "What do you need me to do, Uncle Kong?"
Kong Yunzhen stared at Grand Senior Sister, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her. He said slowly, "In your opinion, what kind of demon is it, and why did it sneak in?"
This sentence seemed normal, just a question, but it was actually full of danger. Grand Senior Sister immediately became alert. Her expression did not change, but her mind was quickly thinking of a way to respond.
Grand Senior Sister said cautiously, "Uncle Kong, are you asking the wrong person?
Isn't it Ghostly Walker's duty to hunt down criminals? "
Kong Yunzhen smiled faintly. "I'm just asking for your opinion.
Last time, weren't you the one who insisted that there were demons in Spiritual Mountain? "
Grand Senior Sister's heart tightened. She naturally knew that Uncle Kong had a strong opinion of her, so she was secretly on guard. Otherwise, he would not have said such words to test her.
Grand Senior Sister knew very well that Uncle Kong didn't really want to ask her. He was just using this polite question to question Grand Senior Sister: How could you be so sure that there were demons hiding in the Spirit Mountain last time?
What does this demon have to do with you?
As the acting Sect Leader, Uncle-Master Kong could not ask such a direct question. If he did, it would be no different from turning hostile. Moreover, Eldest Senior Sister was one of the few great cultivators in the world. Even the Sect Leader would not ask such a question without any evidence.
Grand Senior Sister smiled calmly. "Uncle Kong, you must be joking. I'm just making a bold guess based on my deductions.
Furthermore, in the case of the Heaven's Inquisition Bell, the ringing of the Heaven's Inquisition Bell happened after the Sect Leader was alerted. This means that the Sect Leader was not alerted by the Heaven's Inquisition Bell first, but he felt the invasion of the Demonic Qi first! "
Kong Yunzhen smiled noncommittally. He took half a step forward and stared at Grand Senior Sister without blinking. He asked, "Oh?
Then why didn't you conclude that it was a monster, but … a demon? "
At that moment, Grand Senior Sister's back was drenched in sweat!
However, she quickly smiled and said, "This demon can disguise itself as me and Ah Xiu. Other than the Thousand-faced Demon, I can't think of any other demon that can sow discord so seamlessly and stir up trouble!"
Kong Yunzhen's smile did not change, but his gaze became sharper. He stared at Grand Senior Sister and asked coldly, "Oh?
But I've always heard that the Thousand Faces Demon is famous for its ability to conceal its Demonic Qi. How did the Sect Leader suddenly detect its Demonic Qi? "
This was the weakest link in Grand Senior Sister's plan to divert the Sect Leader's attention!
Since Uncle Kong could think of this, Grand Senior Sister, who had been lurking in the Spiritual Mountain Sect with ulterior motives, had naturally thought of this as well. She smiled calmly and said, "The Sect Leader has been in seclusion for many years. His cultivation level is so high that it's beyond our comprehension.
Uncle Kong, why don't you ask the Sect Leader? "
Uncle Kong's smile carried a hint of resentment. He knew that Grand Senior Sister must have an excuse, but this excuse was like a slap to the face. It made Uncle Kong very embarrassed.
Because it was impossible for him to ask the Sect Leader!
Grand Senior Sister was well aware of this, so she arrogantly retorted, instantly angering Kong Yunzhen. However, Kong Yunzhen couldn't act up, or else it would prove the underlying meaning of her words: Kong Yunzhen was incompetent, causing the Heaven Questioning Bell incident. Hence, Kong Yunzhen didn't dare to ask the Sect Master about it.
Uncle Kong's face was full of smiles, his eyes murderous. Grand Senior Sister, on the other hand, was calm, smiling and looking straight at him.
Uncle Kong did not continue Grand Senior Sister's topic. He suddenly said, "When the Sect Leader was alerted, he asked who was on Heaven Mountain?"
Grand Senior Sister's heart skipped a beat. "Shouldn't Uncle Kong know better?"
Kong Yunzhen snorted coldly. "Everyone on Heaven Questioning Peak that day is a suspect!
Now we need to investigate them one by one. Tell me, where should we start? "
This was like the dagger being revealed. Grand Senior Sister was on high alert.
Grand Senior Sister stared at Kong Yunzhen, choosing her words carefully. Slowly, she said, "Uncle Kong, what do you mean?"
Kong Yunzhen clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Since you can't explain anything, then as the Grand Senior Sister, you should set an example and accept the investigation first!"
Grand Senior Sister's hands, hidden in her sleeves, suddenly clenched tightly. She stared at Kong Yunzhen, her expression extremely unfriendly. "Uncle Kong was there that day!"
Kong Yunzhen was furious, glaring at Grand Senior Sister. "What did you say?"
Grand Senior Sister stared at Kong Yunzhen, not giving an inch. "Since it's an investigation, then it should not be based on identity or status. Everyone should be treated equally. Only fair and open can everyone be convinced!"
Kong Yunzhen stared at Grand Senior Sister without blinking. Grand Senior Sister stared back, unwavering. After a while, Kong Yunzhen gritted his teeth and sneered. "Good, Hidden Beauty Court has taught a good disciple!
You've really grown up now, you can even speak to Uncle like this! "
Grand Senior Sister lowered her head slightly and took a step back. "I didn't mean to offend Senior Aunt. What I meant was that we must treat everyone equally so that we can be flawless. Otherwise, if someone finds a flaw in our plan and accuses us, wouldn't that be bad?"
Kong Yunzhen gave a cold snort and said, "Fine, as you wish then!
We'll start with you and me!
On that day, don't even think of missing out on anyone who went to Heaven Seeking Mountain! "
Grand Senior Sister smiled. "Of course!"
Kong Yunzhen was just about to let Grand Senior Sister leave when he saw a figure flash in front of the door. Shanxue landed at the door.
When Shanxue saw Grand Senior Sister, his expression changed and he wanted to leave immediately. Kong Yunzhen immediately shouted, "Stop!!"
Shanxue's face was pale. He stood unwillingly and bowed to Uncle Kong with an ugly expression.
Uncle Kong shouted, "Why are you running away!
What happened?! "
As he spoke, his expression changed. "Could it be that you failed in your mission to destroy the Profound Life Sect?!"
Shanxue snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "How can an ant overturn the heavens?"
Uncle Kong roared, "Then why are you so guilty?!"
Shanxue's face alternated between green and red. He stuttered, unable to speak.
Grand Senior Sister glanced sideways at Shanxue. Her heart skipped a beat. "Did you suffer heavy casualties?"
Shanxue's face turned as white as a sheet. True to his name. He braced himself and said, "When sects go to war, how can there be no casualties?"
When Kong Yunzhen and Grand Senior Sister saw Shanxue's reaction, they immediately knew that Grand Senior Sister was just making a random guess.
Kong Yunzhen took a deep breath. "What were the casualties?"
Shanxue clenched his teeth. He could not bring himself to tell the shameful truth.
Grand Senior Sister scoffed. "With Shanxue's pride, he must have suffered heavy casualties. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this!"
Kong Yunzhen's expression changed. He stepped forward to interrogate, his voice icy. "What were the casualties?!"
Shanxue glared at Grand Senior Sister, gritting his teeth. His face was livid, but he did not say a word.
Grand Senior Sister did not look like she was going to leave. She did not seem to notice Shanxue's hateful glare. She smiled coldly and said in a mocking tone, "To be able to put Spiritual Mountain Sect's pride, Shanxue, in such a difficult position … it looks like they're all dead!"
Shanxue's face flushed red, as if it was about to bleed.
