Li Chengfeng chased after Yuehan, wanting to leave but that was unrealistic. The leader of the Ghostly Walkers made him stay and interrogate him in detail.
He even took out a floating jade bead. This jade bead was like a living eye, staring at Li Chengfeng from the moment it appeared. If he showed any signs of lying, it would immediately be able to see through it with its piercing eyes.
But what kind of person was Li Chengfeng?
This was a daring recidivist. If he didn't have the experience of swindling and kidnapping since he was a child, and if he didn't have the strong mental fortitude that he had gained through experience, he would have been exposed right away.
Li Chengfeng was also an expert in scams. He knew that the strongest scam was ninety-nine percent real, except for the last part!
To Li Chengfeng, was Zhou Ling a Demon King?
Yes!
Was she here to kill him?
Yes!
Was Zhou Ling's identity real?
Yes!
Did Zhao Feiyue suspect that he was a Golden Immortal?
Yes!
But was Li Chengfeng a Golden Immortal?
No!
Why?
Because Zhao Feiyue realised she had 'killed' the wrong person and broke down, so she escaped.
Was she a demon that infiltrated the Spiritual Mountain?
No, Zhou Ling was!
Even the Ghostly Walkers themselves did not believe that two Demon King level monsters could infiltrate the Spiritual Mountain Sect at the same time. Although there were still many questions, but …
Li Chengfeng's crisis was temporarily averted.
Because they could not confront Zhao Feiyue.
So who was the one who used the illusion?
Was there a need to ask?
Of course it was Grand Senior Sister! Ask her if you don't believe me!
Would Grand Senior Sister deny it?
Of course she would not deny it. She had already fallen out with Zhao Feiyue, why would she expose Li Chengfeng's scam? They were on the same boat now.
The Ghostly Walkers could not get any more useful information from the interrogation. Instead, they placed Li Chengfeng under strict surveillance.
But to Li Chengfeng, his biggest crisis had been averted. He did not care about surveillance.
But to some people, what happened next was not so comforting.
For example, Huangfu Song.
…
Solitary Peak, Heaven Seeking Mountain.
The Lone Mountain Peak was a famous "forbidden area" of the Spiritual Mountain Sect. It was not a forbidden area that was forbidden to enter, but it was a place where anyone who committed a crime would be imprisoned.
The Lone Mountain Peak had the best scenery in the Spiritual Mountain Sect. The mountain was surrounded by maple trees. Although it was winter, the maple leaves were still bright red, like a sea of fire. A nine-story pagoda was built on the cliff, called the Gathering Heroes Pagoda.
Each floor of the tower was decorated with cornices and arches, carved railings and painted walls.
Hanging from the eaves of each floor was a bronze bell, engraved with the names of the great cultivators who had left their mark in the history of the Spiritual Mountain Sect and a brief history of their lives. Next to them were their respective statues, inspiring admiration and envy in one's heart.
The higher they went, the higher the bronze bells and statues. It could be said that this was the holy land that every disciple of the Spiritual Mountain Sect longed to leave their mark on.
But interestingly, opposite the nine-story pagoda was the forbidden area of the Spiritual Mountain Sect, the Tranquil Soul Cave.
The Tranquil Soul Cave was located in the middle of the mountain. The entrance was very small, only two people could pass through it side by side. From the outside, there was nothing special about it. You could find such an ordinary cave entrance on any mountain. But after entering, you would find that the tunnel was extremely narrow. After walking for a few thousand meters, you could see a circle of silver and white lines on the ground in front of the tunnel, as if a barrier separated the inside from the outside.
Huangfu Song took a deep breath and carefully stepped in. Immediately, he heard countless voices chanting scriptures. These voices were soft and almost undetectable, like the sound of waves coming from afar. It gave people a sense of calmness, and the hostility in their hearts disappeared.
But when Huangfu Song took a few steps forward, he suddenly heard a voice, "Huangfu Song …"
As soon as the voice rang out, Huangfu Song's body trembled, like a mouse that had seen a cat. All the courage he had mustered before disappeared. He instinctively knelt down on one knee, his voice trembling slightly, "Senior Brother Shanxue …"
Shanxue's figure was hidden in the long, narrow, and boundless darkness, but his voice came from all directions, making it difficult to grasp. "I heard that you've just made a big splash?"
Huangfu Song's heart tightened, and he secretly cursed. These people, I just showed my Sacred Skyfire Sword and they told Shanxue about it!
Huangfu Song's voice trembled. "There was a Daemon King that invaded Hidden Brocade Court just now, I had no choice but to intervene …"
"No choice …" Shanxue laughed softly. "So you hid your Sacred Skyfire Sword because you had no choice!
Who would have thought, who would have thought … "
Huangfu Song hurriedly explained, "I have no other intentions towards you, Senior Brother, please don't worry!"
Shanxue smirked. "Don't worry?
You let Li Chengfeng cause trouble in Hidden Brocade Court the moment I left, and you hid the Sacred Skyfire Sword from me for so long. Hmph, how can I not worry? "
Huangfu Song was speechless for a moment. He really couldn't explain this matter clearly. He could only lament, "Junior Brother has always followed Senior Brother's lead!"
Shanxue gritted his teeth and grinned. "I just got locked up and you're already tempted. How can I trust you?!"
Huangfu Song panicked. "Senior Brother, please understand, if I …"
Just as he was about to swear, he heard Shanxue coldly interrupt him, "Put away your act!
If you want to prove yourself, do something for me! "
Huangfu Song was overjoyed. "Tell me what you want, Senior Brother!"
Shanxue's voice turned cold and murderous, like a cold wind blowing in Huangfu Song's ears. "Kill Li Chengfeng!"
"Huh?" Huangfu Song was shocked.
This was something even Shanxue could not do. More importantly … Although he had the ability to kill Li Chengfeng, he did not have the chance!
If he did it himself and was discovered, he would be kicked out of the Spiritual Mountain Sect!
Plus, everyone knew that Li Chengfeng worked for Grand Senior Sister!
He was protected by Grand Senior Sister!
If he killed Li Chengfeng, he would have to face Grand Senior Sister's wrath!
This was a vicious scheme to kill with a borrowed knife!
Not only did he use his own hands to kill Li Chengfeng, he also used Grand Senior Sister to kill him!
Vicious!
It was simply sinister and vicious!
Huangfu Song trembled as if he had fallen into an ice cave, unable to snap out of his daze.
Shanxue smirked coldly. "Why … you're not willing?"
Huangfu Song shuddered and said immediately, "I will do as you say!"
Shanxue snorted coldly and said, "Then … get lost!
Don't forget, although I'm not in Hidden Brocade Court, I'm everywhere! "
When he finished, Huangfu Song's icy aura dissipated. He walked out of the Tranquil Soul Cave dejectedly, cursing himself for losing his mind. Why did he have to use the Heavenly Fire Sword to steal the limelight?
Suddenly, a voice rang out from afar. "Senior Brother Huangfu?"
Huangfu Song turned to see that it was the Fourth Young Master of the Zhan family, Zhan Qisheng. He frowned. "Why are you here?"
Zhan Qisheng smiled without a word, changing the topic. "Senior Brother Huangfu, are you troubled about how to deal with Li Chengfeng?"
"Hmm?"
Huangfu Song's gaze sharpened as he glared at Zhan Qisheng. "You instigated Senior Brother Shanxue to do this?!"
That despicable man!
I was wondering why Senior Brother Shanxue had such an arrogant temperament and his eyes were at the top of his head. How could he have done something like this with the help of others? So it turns out that the initiator is actually here!
