Regarding the identity of the traitors, Xiang Sheng had imagined many possibilities. They might be elders in charge of power, or people with the two surnames of Luo and Wei, but he never thought that the traitors would be the leaders of the same sect.
She tried her best to suppress her thoughts, but the flaw at the moment she heard the voice was still keenly noticed by the master of Qianxing Palace.
"Luo Shu, you seem nervous?"
The master of Qianxing Palace stared at Xiang Shu with strange eyes, "Have you... seen me?"
Xiang Shen seemed to be frightened by the sudden question. His knees went weak and he knelt on the ground, biting his lips and hesitating and unable to speak.
Upon seeing this, Master Chang Yan immediately stood up and said, "Junior brother, you are too imposing. This little girl has been practicing in Wanjianmen for several years and has never seen a big scene. How can she not be scared to death when she is suddenly questioned like this? soft?"
With the blessing of his elders, Xiang Shu's face finally regained some of its rosy color. He knelt down properly and begged for mercy in a voice as loud as a mosquito's fly: "Disciple has lost his composure. Please... please forgive me, Master of the Palace."
Seeing how unbearable her reaction was, the master of Qianxing Palace couldn't help but shake his head secretly and put away his slight doubt.
It was because he was disturbed by the theft of the incense, and he was in a restless mood and was too suspicious.
He could tell at a glance that this Wei family just wanted to kill Luo family's prestige and use it as an excuse.
But having said that, since Luo Qingyun returned to the sect, the Wei family has been unable to let go of the grudge against her disciples who were killed by him, and the conflicts have deepened day by day. If this yellow-haired girl can calm down part of the Wei family's anger, it would not be a bad idea to abandon her.
The master of Qianxing Palace glanced at Master Chang Yan again, his eyes slightly cold.
By the way, you can also suppress your senior brother's stubborn temper. He was tired of hearing about the blood image in the Sky Supervisor Mirror.
Master Chang Yan had been staring at his junior brother waiting for the next chapter. When he saw the change in his eyes, he immediately felt a thump in his heart and had a bad feeling.
"Senior Brother Chang Yan, I don't believe that this little girl is a female agent working in tandem with the thieves. However, what Junior Brother Wei Qing said makes sense. The theft of incense is a serious matter and must be treated with caution."
The Master of Qianxing Hall had a gentle attitude, but his tone was unquestionable: "I am proficient in the soul-searching method and can minimize the damage to the soul. I will personally search for Luo Shen's soul, and I will supplement it with recovery pills afterwards. This way That’s how you get the best of both worlds.”
As soon as these words came out, the elders of Wei Qing's faction all looked slightly happy. The palace master was still on their side after all.
"Li Wen!"
Master Chang Yan's old face became even more gloomy, "Child and innocent child, do you really want to be so cruel?"
He and Li Wen both came from the previous palace master's sect. How could he not know what spells the other party was good at?
All the soul-searching methods and recovery elixirs are just false and beautiful words. If Luo Shen is really searched for his soul, he will definitely be killed by "miss"!
"What did senior brother say?"
The face of the Master of Qianxing Palace also turned gloomy: "It concerns the overall situation and cannot be limited to small details. How can it be summed up in two words: vicious?
I have already said that this little girl will not die. At most, she will suffer some trauma. If Senior Brother is still not satisfied, how about reporting to the Patriarch and simply giving up the position of Palace Master to Senior Brother? "
After saying these words, the hall suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Master Chang Yan's eyes widened, he was shocked and angry. He was so angry that he covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Big brother!"
Luo Mingsheng screamed and rushed to help, but Master Chang Yan threw him away with a flick of his sleeves.
"Awen, in your eyes, is senior brother so miserable?"
The bloodshot eyes in Chang Yan's eyes have not faded away yet. At this moment, his eye sockets are bloodshot and even redder.
When the Master of Qianxing Palace heard the word "Awen", he was startled for a moment, and his expression softened slightly, but only for a moment, his expression returned to a cold and hard expression: "The matter of searching for souls has been established, and I will not change it. Senior brother is me. The people of Qianxing Palace should always think about Qianxing Palace, how can they be stymied by the personal affairs of their children?
Someone come! Take Master Chang Yan down..."
Before the Master of Qianxing Palace finished speaking, he suddenly saw Tang Yin stepping into the palace and walking quickly.
When Wei Qing saw Tang Yin, he immediately turned down his face and reprimanded him sternly: "Young man is so presumptuous that you just come in without knowing your temper. Do you still know the etiquette?"
? ! "
Tang Yin turned a deaf ear and walked to Xiang Shen's side. She mustered up her courage and said loudly: "This disciple is rude, but I have something important to report. Under the seat of the Supreme Elder of Wanjianmen, Master Kuiyuan is visiting. He is outside the mountain gate at this moment. It seems that he came here because of the theft of incense."
The master of Qianxing Palace's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly couldn't care about the trivial matters in the palace, "Please quickly!"
Tang Yin glanced at Xiang Shu who was slumped on the ground with distress, not daring to say anything, and quickly went down to call for reinforcements.
The atmosphere in the hall relaxed slightly, and Master Chang Yan suddenly took two steps forward, grabbed Xiang Shen and pulled him to his side to protect him.
The master of Qianxing Palace frowned when he saw it and said nothing.
Incense is the most important thing. If you can really find the incense, other things can be put aside.
After everyone waited for a short time, they saw a middle-aged monk with an ordinary appearance stepping into the hall.
He glanced at everyone in the palace, only paused slightly at Xiang Shen, and then walked to the center with a normal expression, saluted with neither humility nor arrogance: "Your Majesty, Wanjianmen, please come to Kuiyuan to pay your respects to the master of Qianxing Palace."
"Kuiyuan, I know you."
The Master of Qianxing Palace smiled slightly, "You are the fourth protector of the Demon Palace, how could you abandon the Demon Palace and work for a small sect monk?"
"I had no choice but to enter the Demon Palace. Fortunately, my master took pity on me and allowed me to abandon the dark side and turn to the light."
Kui Yuan explained that when talking about the master, his words were full of respect, "I came here today at the master's order to pay for incense. Master, please take a look..."
Kui Yuan said, opening his palm, an irregular-shaped fragment was lying quietly in his palm.
When the Master of Qianxing Palace saw the fragment, his expression suddenly changed slightly, but at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the fragment, and no one noticed it.
Except Xiang Shu.
Since entering the palace, she has been observing the master of Qianxing Palace and has never been distracted.
Seeing all the changes, Xiang Shu immediately realized that the master of Qianxing Palace had seen other similar fragments before.
She should have thought that the master of the Demon Palace could give the fragment to his son for use, and there could be a deeper reason besides love.
That is, the Master of the Demon Palace has a better fragment of "Deception" in his hands, and the Master of Qianxing Palace happened to have seen it.
Or maybe it's not the master of the Demon Palace, but... the underworld?
His thoughts wandered for just a moment. Xiang Shen moved his lips slightly and immediately sent a message to Kui Yuan to change his next response.
"Palace Master, this fragment was obtained half a day ago when the master was traveling in the nearby territory and happened to encounter a demonic cultivator who was very good at physical skills and snatched it from his hands.
Unfortunately, that man was very good at escaping, so the owner only managed to grab the storage ring and he escaped. "
Kui Yuan said, touching the fragment in his hand with his palm, and a wisp of extremely pure incense was immediately released.
The faces of everyone in the hall changed when they sensed this wisp of pure incense.
"It's the incense from Goucheng that Tang Yecheng brought back!"
Luo Mingsheng was the first to speak, "Such pure incense can only be produced by the statue of Yuji in Yucheng."
"This incense cannot be faked."
"What Master Kui Yuan said is true."
"Fortunately, I happened to be met by Master Wan Jian, otherwise this batch of incense would have been lost."
"..."
Listening to the discussion of everyone in the palace, the face of the master of Qianxing Palace quickly softened. With the evidence in front of him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
The smile on his face became fuller, "It turns out that I, the Qianxing Palace, failed to take care of this matter. I would also like to thank Master Kuiyuan for coming to return the incense."
"The palace master is wrong."
Kui Yuan shook his head and threw the fragment directly to the master of Qianxing Palace, "This fragment is my master's only harvest. There is not much incense in it. In the past two years, your palace has successively replaced the statues of Yu Ji, and the storage should be much more than that."
The master of Qianxing Palace took the fragment, and with a sweep of his consciousness, the smile on his face instantly froze.
The incense inside is mixed with a little bit of the viciousness unique to demon cultivators. Although it is pure, it is not even one thousandth of the incense in the pool, and it is not enough to fill the teeth of the demon temple.
His eyelids twitched and he
The fragments were thrown back to Kui Yuan. He was not too curious about the incense.
"Master Kui Yuan, is this really what your master has gained?"
Xiang Shu watched this scene silently, with thoughts in his mind. It seemed that the master of Qianxing Palace did not recognize the "Deception" fragments, and only regarded them as special Sumeru Mustard Seed treasures used to store incense.
"Master's harvest is of course more than that."
Kui Yuan changed the topic: "But they are all things used by demonic cultivators for cultivation, and this is what is found in incense. The owner speculated that the incense in the fragments was taken by the demonic cultivator privately for cultivation, and the rest of the incense has been put on pay."
When Wei Qing heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "I think your master has swallowed the incense and is telling lies here to confuse the public!"
As soon as these words came out, Kui Yuan suddenly laughed, "Is this elder telling a joke? My master is a swordsman. He is a pure swordsman. He is most taboo about getting contaminated with foreign objects, especially Shinto incense. How can he keep it private before he can dislike it? ?」
As he said that, Kui Yuan took a deep look at Xiang Shen and said, "Next time the elder frames you, you should come up with a decent reason, so as not to make yourself ridiculous and make others laugh."
There was obviously something behind Kui Yuan's words. Wei Qing heard the hidden meaning and his face turned red with anger. "You bastard! How dare you, a mere slave..."
"Wei Qing."
The master of Qianxing Palace interrupted his junior brother's speech in a cold voice, "Zhenren Kui Yuan has come here on behalf of His Majesty Wan Jian. You must be treated with courtesy and do not speak rudely."
When Wei Qing heard what his senior brother said, he immediately shut up. No matter how much anger he had in his heart, he could only hold it back at the moment.
"Palace Master, I have brought you my words. I will take my leave."
Kui Yuan cupped his hands, glanced at Xiang Shu again, turned around and left without saying much.
The master of Qianxing Palace naturally noticed Kui Yuan's actions, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Although Kuiyuan didn't say it, he was reminding him overtly and covertly that Luo Shen was a disciple of Wanjian Sect.
That wisp of pure incense and demon cultivator's ferocious aura were undeniable. Kui Yuan happened to meet Luo Shen when he came over. Since they met, it was too honorable to pretend that they hadn't seen him.
Although he could find other reasons to continue to fabricate charges against this girl, he could use other methods to suppress his senior brother. There was no need to offend a sword cultivator with extraordinary combat power. .z.br>
Thinking of this, the Master of Qianxing Hall stretched his brows and said loudly: "Now that the matter has been found out, you can go down. Brother Changyan, this matter is just a misunderstanding. You can take the little girl back to comfort her. Fan."
Chang Yan nodded silently, turned around and left the hall with Xiang Shu.
After watching him step out of the hall's threshold, the Master of Qianxing Palace narrowed his eyes and said, "Wei Qing, you stay."
