The scene in front of them shocked the two of them.
Pei Ti and his fiancee's bodies were covered with heavy knife marks, and they were both dead.
Chapter 129
Both of them had only a long knife mark on their bodies, which was the kind that killed them with one blow. The knife marks both carried the terrifying power of thunder.
This knife mark made Zhao Ning feel familiar for a moment. Before Zhao Ning could directly think of the person, Gu Xie had already exclaimed.
"Ancient sword skills!"
Zhao Ning was stunned, and it suddenly became clear who it was.
Mu Shuyi? !
"That's right! This Pei Ti has been following Elder Mu last year. But why would Elder Mu do this?!" Gu Xie really couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Ning was even more confused, "Elder?!"
Only then did Gu Xi remember that Zhao Ning had not been in the sect this year, so he explained, "Elder Mu had broken through to the late stage of foundation building last year and opened up the dragon bloodline. Coupled with the chance to inherit the ancient sword technique, the sect has Promote Senior Brother Mu to the rank of elder and assist in the internal affairs."
Gu Xie's face looked a little ugly, but he killed the attendant directly like this, even if he was an elder...
"Is it possible that someone put the blame on Elder Mu?"
"of course not."
Suddenly a voice interrupted Gu Xie's guess.
Zhao Ning suddenly looked outside the door and saw a person standing on a boulder with backlight, his figure looked particularly familiar.
Zhao Ning and Gu Xie looked at each other and walked out at the same time. The man turned around, jumped off the big rock, smiled and nodded to them, it was Mu Shuyi.
Seeing Zhao Ning, he was a little surprised, "Isn't this little fairy Zhao Ning? I was out in the main hall yesterday doing errands, and I didn't have time to come back. As soon as I came back, I heard that you had done something big."
Zhao Ning didn't answer, but just paid discipleship salute to Mu Shuyi with Gu Xie.
Mu Shuyi's current cultivation level is unfathomable. Just standing in front of him gives him an overwhelming feeling, and even a faint killing power.
Is it influenced by the ancient sword intention?
Gu Xie paused. Even though they were both in the foundation building stage, he was only in the early stage of foundation building and was still not qualified to be an equal in front of Mu Shuyi. However, as the head of the Punishment Hall, he had to ask clearly about this matter before him.
"Elder Mu, what do you mean by what you just said?"
He asked vaguely, but everyone present knew what he meant. Mu Shu also admitted that he killed Pei Ti and both of them?
Mu Shuyi clasped his hands behind his back, "Yes, I killed him!"
Even though he was prepared in his heart, there seemed to be a muffled sound in the dark. Zhao Ning always felt that something was wrong, but Mu Shuyi acted too calmly and matter-of-factly.
"Do you know that Pei Ti is working beside me, and the elders of the sect discipline his subordinates, so the punishment hall can't say anything more." Mu Shuyi secretly threatened.
"But, Elder Mu, they are dead!"
Mu Shu also smiled suddenly, "Yes, if you collude with evil cultivators, the furnace female cultivators, and assassinate disciples, of course you have to pay for your life with your life!"
Gu Xian was stunned.
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, "Elder Mu, do you know the reason why we are here?"
"Aren't we just here to find out why Mo Xiu was seriously injured and why he died?" Mu Shuyi said with a cold face, "I just know better than you."
This Mo Xiu was the outer disciple who died tragically.
Next, Mu Shuyi told them a slightly bloody story.
This Pei Ti has always been a romantic person. There are dozens of maids on the peak, all of whom have some unclear relationship with him. However, he has good spiritual roots, and most of the maids are willing, so the sect turns a blind eye. Eye.
A few years ago, Pei Ti brought Miss Sun back from the mortal world, and still did not break off those unclear relationships, but these are secrets that few people in the inner sect know. Every year, there are disciples from the outer sect entering the disciple peak of the inner sect. Attendant, Mo Xiu is one of them.
Mo Xiu didn't know who Pei Ti was at first. She was only attracted by his handsome appearance and gentle demeanor, and followed Pei Ti wholeheartedly. At that time, Miss Sun had been staying behind closed doors. Mo Xiu didn't even know that Miss Sun existed. The way the maids looked at this person was normal.
Later, she got entangled with Pei Ti for some reason. It was better at first, but in the past year, Mo Xiu suddenly discovered that the entanglement between Pei Ti and the maid even made the maid make a furnace.
After further investigation, I found that he and I were not practicing dual cultivation at all. They were quietly making themselves into furnaces, improving their cultivation bit by bit, while his cultivation had been stagnant. After Pei Ti found out, he simply stopped pretending and beat and scolded him arbitrarily to extract his cultivation.
Until last night, Mo Xiu took advantage of the chaos and ran out secretly, but did not want to be secretly killed by Pei Ti.
Pei Ti killed Mo Xiu and went back to play with the maid as if nothing had happened.
"When I came back, I happened to bump into Pei Ti coming back from the Punishment Hall. I wanted to arrange for him to deal with something, so I followed him, but I didn't want to hear his dirty talk with this girl Sun. How could this girl come from the ordinary world? She He is an evil cultivator, but he cannot be seen because he was seriously injured and lost his cultivation. Pei Ti got the method of cultivating the cauldron from Miss Sun."
Mu Shuyi looked at Zhao Ning and the other two, "You think, shouldn't these two be killed?"
"This..." Gu Xi couldn't say anything for a moment.
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes, such a person would be dead even if he was in her hands, but the problem now is not just to kill him, but the strict patriarchal system, and he needs an explanation. All of this is Mu Shuyi's empty words, what is the truth? Whether this is the case or not is unclear.
Zhao Ning then asked, "I wonder how Elder Mu realized that Miss Sun was an evil cultivator?"
Mu Shu took it for granted, "It's not simple. His expression is vain, his eyes are charming, and his behavior is frivolous. Only monks of the evil way can behave like this."
Zhao Ning and Gu Xie looked at each other, and Gu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Mu, we have to take the body to the Penalty Hall to find out the cause and effect of this matter. It is really inappropriate for you to kill him directly. I am afraid the Penalty Hall will have to report the matter. Wu Zhenren and the first one."
Mu Shu was also disdainful, "Then go and report it. I, Mu Shu, am also upright and do things right."
He turned his back and quickly entered the room to put away the two corpses. When he just came out, he saw two spiritual lights not far away. Perhaps he noticed the situation on their side, the spiritual lights paused, and two spiritual lights appeared. The two Jindan Masters are none other than Master Biwu and Master Qingxiaofeng.
Master Bi Wu was in charge of the affairs of the Punishment Hall, "Gu Xie, what are you doing here? Didn't you say that there are disciples in the sect who maliciously kill people? What are you doing in Yunxiao Peak?"
Everyone bowed their hands and bowed to the two real people.
Gu Xie said quickly, "The person who killed the outer disciples has been found, but Senior Brother Mu has another way to deal with it, which really makes it difficult for the Punishment Hall to do it."
"Hesitating here because it's hard to do? How can the Punishment Hall establish its authority in the sect!" Master Bi Wu scolded.
In ancient times, this was the way to hang one's head.
Mu Shu also didn't take it to heart.
Zhao Ning clearly felt two strands of coldness passing over him, and then he heard Master Bi Wu sarcastically say, "Isn't this Shen Zhaoning who can bring down even the genius? Why, little girl, when did you work in the punishment hall? No real person knows.”
Zhao Ning frowned slightly, realizing that Master Bi Wu was obviously looking for trouble.
Gu Xie explained, "Senior nephew Shen was the first person to discover the death of an outer disciple. It was the disciple who made the decision and asked for help to deal with the matter together."
Master Bi Wu sneered, "Is there no one in the Punishment Hall, or is there no one in Lingxiao Peak? I need a little girl who hasn't even been in the sect for a few years to help handle things."
Gu Xian was shocked. He didn't expect Master Bi Wu to be so concerned about it. "It's just a way to calm down Master Bi Wu."
Master Bi Wu ignored him and just stared at Zhao Ning, "Shen Zhao Ning, since you really want to come to the Punishment Hall, you can also come to my door at Lingxiao Peak. By then the old Dantou at Chixiao Peak will not be able to protect you."
Zhao Ning's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Master Biwu and even cupped her hands and said, "Thank you Master for reminding me."
Seeing Zhao Ning like this, Master Bi Wu snorted and walked away in the air.
"Tsk tsk tsk, little fairy Zhao Ning, it seems that you made Master Biwu very angry in the hall yesterday." Mu Shuyi smiled and shook his head, "That's right, Master Biwu fully supported Jia Rui at the beginning. Once Jia Rui has successfully formed a first-grade golden elixir, maybe he will be known by the people in the Heavenly Palace and given some secrets of infant formation, it will be worth his efforts."
"Zhao Ning doesn't know what the real person is planning. Zhao Ning only does what he needs to do." Zhao Ning remained silent, which made Mu Shu feel a little bored.
Gu Xian said to Zhao Ning embarrassedly, "Senior nephew Shen, then I'm afraid..."
"Uncle Gu Master, it doesn't have to be difficult. Now that things have gradually become clearer, Zhao Ning can't help much."
"Senior Nephew Shen is reasonable." Gu Xie nodded, "Master Bi Wu is not that mean. Maybe he is just angry. After all, he is a true member of the sect. Senior Nephew Shen should not take it to heart."
After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Mu Shuyi and said, "Senior Brother, please go to the Punishment Hall."
With the words of Master Bi Wu in front of him, Mu Shuyi felt that it was natural to discipline the attendants, but he still had to leave his identity and go to the punishment hall. With a slightly unhappy look on his face, he fluttered his sleeves and took the lead in flying towards the punishment hall with his sword.
Gu Xian slightly signaled Yu Jian to Zhao Ning and chased after him.
The two of them flew far away without taking a breath. Zhao Ning looked at them with raised eyes, feeling strange in his heart.
These people always feel that they are different from usual.
Gu Xing was a little flattering, Mu Shu was a little impulsive, and Master Bi Wu's ridicule was even more childish.
Zhao Ning shook his head, could it be that he was really angry and made people change?
She left from Yunxiao Peak, and happened to bump into other elders flying from the Second Ancestral Peak. Some flew as fast as a stream of light, and some slowly wielded their swords in mid-air. They were talking while flying. They passed by Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning followed the ceremony. He gave way and heard the two elders talking.
"Let me just say that after Qin Keyuan came back, he asked for everything in detail, asking for the bottom of things, and tormenting us old bones. The human demon was seriously injured and shattered into the void. Ninety percent of it is no longer in Kunxu. Why bother to look for its traces anymore? It's really annoying. very."
Zhao Ning suppressed his fluctuating emotions.
Another real person replied, "That's right. If Qin Keyuan is not here and the sect leader doesn't care about anything, we elders can just discuss everything. Now it's fine. Qin Keyuan has formed a high-grade golden elixir and has been recognized by the Heavenly Palace. We elders will have nothing to do in the future." The right to speak.”
"I would have known earlier that I should not have agreed to the sect leader's move to give up his career and allow him to train his disciples to become the first sect leader..."
In just a few words, Master Jin Dan had already flown far away. Zhao Ning raised his head, but there was no longer any figure of Master Jin Dan in the air.
If this is the case, no wonder the rumors about the situation of humans and demons are so vague.
The things between humans and demons are beyond Zhao Ning's power. Zhao Ning remains silent and only hopes that everything will go well.
Chapter 130
Zhao Ning did not return to the cave, but went to the Inner Gate Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Only after Zhao Ning left did he realize that there were indeed books containing records of ancient writings in the inner gate, but they were not placed in the Sutra Pavilion, but in the Taoist Hall.
According to the introduction from the head of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, it is said that the ancient characters have their own system and power. Although they are not as powerful as the ancient cloud patterns and ancient thunder patterns, they still contain mysteries, so they cannot be opened to sect disciples at will.
Fortunately, Zhao Ning had only borrowed a copy of Taiyi Five Elements' Secret Technique for Refining Weapons after entering the inner gate, and he borrowed it in the name of Qin Keyuan, so he would not be refused due to the embarrassment of contribution when he went to the Daofa Hall.
Entering the Daofa Hall, the Daofa Hall was much quieter than usual. There was no one else except the steward behind the desk. The steward was focused on the volume in his hand. Even if Zhao Ning didn't cover up the sound of his footsteps, he didn't even think about it. Alarmed.
It's just that Zhao Ning is a little surprised. Wasn't the former head of Daofa Temple Mr. Mu? Yun Jinfan made a fuss and moved from the outer door to the inner door. Could it be that he also knew that Yun Jinfan was gone, so he moved back again?
She raised her voice slightly to remind the steward.
The director was excited and suddenly carried the volume in his hand behind his back, as if he was afraid that the contents of the volume would be seen by Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning did not think too much. All sect classics were authorized to be consulted, so as to avoid the general It's reasonable, but his actions are a little too... sneaky.
The director gave a fake cough, and anger was gathering on his face, as if he was going to scold Zhao Ning for being a god or a ghost. But when his eyes fell, he fixed on the inner disciple order hanging on Zhao Ning's waist, and the look on his face instantly changed. He immediately burst into laughter, "So it's Senior Nephew Shen. I heard about your deeds in the hall yesterday, and you were extremely powerful." He gave a thumbs up.
Zhao Ning did not respond and only asked what the manager's name was.
