"you are lying!"
Suddenly, Chen Ji's eyes flashed, and he flipped his right hand and struck out with a palm, knocking Li Hu away more than ten feet and hitting the rock on the cliff. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother!"
"Junior Brother Li Hu!"
Upon seeing this, a group of handyman disciples immediately came over, looking a little worried. The masters of the peaks above also frowned, obviously not expecting Chen Ji to suddenly take action.
They really can't afford to offend Xuntian Mansion.
But the person who is asking the question is just a young man who is so arrogant. Do you really think they are easy to bully?
Some elders couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to question. However, they saw Chen Ji slowly walking towards Li Hu with his hands behind his back and asked in a cold voice:
"Do you think I didn't check your details before coming here?"
"That morning, someone clearly saw you turning back to your dormitory when you were going down the mountain to chop firewood."
"And I found out that the hatchet Ji Ning used when committing the crime seems to belong to you."
When the elders heard this, their eyes were a little solemn.
It wasn't because Li Hu was under suspicion, but because he was a little confused. How did Chen Ji, an outsider, know this information that they didn't know.
Is it possible that there are details of the Xantian Mansion's arrangements in the Taoist temple?
On the top of the peak, Xu Shi snorted coldly and said lightly:
"In order to control the situation and stabilize it, the imperial court really did everything possible. Those who didn't know better thought it was fighting a war with the Sui Dynasty, and even planted spies."
"How my Xuantian Mansion does things is not for outsiders to interfere. Some of the methods are just to ensure the accuracy of the information." Chen Ji looked at Xu Shi at the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"For example, today, if there are no such means, how can I see through his lies, and how can the truth come to light?"
Xu Shi's face was expressionless and he didn't speak.
Chen Ji turned his head again, walked up to Li Hu, grabbed his throat with one hand, and asked with sharp eyes, "Where is Ji Ning!"
"What happened that day and why did he have your hatchet on him!"
"Ahem...I...I really don't know."
Li Hu pushed his legs on the ground, barely able to breathe, and struggled hard to say:
"I admit that I lied, but it has nothing to do with the case you want to investigate."
"There were too many chores assigned to me in the courtyard that day, and I couldn't do them alone. However, there is a rule in the peak that no one is allowed to let disciples on their days off work, so I secretly went back and secretly asked my junior brother to help me chop wood. Come."
"But who would have known that he disappeared with my hatchet and didn't come back for a long time, which forced me to skip meals to catch up on the progress. Only then did I prepare the next day's firewood before dark."
"I wanted to find my junior brother that night to ask for details, but I didn't expect that he didn't come back all night. And the next day, I heard about what happened in Baiyu Town."
"I knew he used my hatchet to kill people, so I lied because I was afraid of being implicated!"
Chen Ji exerted slight force with his right hand, gradually squeezing Li Hu's throat, and asked with a ferocious expression:
"Do you think I will believe you?"
"Where is that kid hiding? Do you want to tell me or not?"
"I...I really don't know!"
"Okay, let's not say it." A trace of cruelty flashed across Chen Ji's face. He let go of Li Hu's throat and pulled out the sword from his waist.
"I will cut off your hand tendons and hamstrings in front of your teachers, classmates, and everyone you know, and sprinkle fine salt on them."
"Then, I will smash your acupoints one by one so that you will never be able to practice again in this life. Then I will peel off the flesh on your body piece by piece. I will cut it three hundred times until you see the bones. Then I will eat my alchemist from Xantian Mansion. The refined bone pills will heal him in three days, and then I will continue to torture Chi until you reveal his whereabouts."
When Li Hu heard such cruel methods, his expression turned pale.
The disciples all over the mountain also had angry expressions on their faces, but due to Chen Ji's identity, they did not dare to get angry. They all looked up at the teachers at the peak.
No one spoke.
"In a few days, the temple master will return from outside, and something big will happen then." Next to Xu Shi, stood an old man, who was clearly the white-haired Supreme Elder, with deep eyes.
"Please bear with me any longer. If you don't have enough foundation, you will end up like this. You will be bullied by others."
Xu Shi's face was expressionless, his cheeks trembled slightly, and he silently clenched his fists.
He knew that Chen Ji Ling Chi and Li Hu were fake, but the threat to him was true.
In the final analysis, Xuntian Mansion still suspected that he, Ji Ning's master, was secretly helping to hide him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to escape pursuit for so many days with just a disciple who had not yet entered the Beginner Realm.
However, he is not an ordinary third-level person. He has also made some reputations in the Xuan Realm. Although he is not comparable to the behemoths such as the Governor of Xuntian Mansion, he is not a character who can be easily manipulated by a little Chen Ji. .
That's why the other party wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Li Hu is just a victim in this game.
Seeing that the man above was holding back, Chen Ji smiled sinisterly, took a knife and slowly opened Li Hu's cloth, and whispered:
"I know it's not you, but there is no other way. I can only do this in order to find Ji Ning."
"It's a pity that your master seems to have given up on you."
Li Hu looked pale, looked at Chen Ji in front of him, and said with a sad smile:
"They are not my masters. I am just an ordinary handyman disciple and am not qualified to be my master."
"My lord, can you really not let me go?"
Chen Ji shook his head.
Li Hu took a deep breath after hearing this.
"I see."
"But sir, please know that I cannot be tortured by you like this. Everyone is bloody, and you have to accuse me unjustly. There is no way I can just surrender."
When Chen Ji heard this, he looked at Li Hu and mocked, as if he had heard some funny joke: "No one is helping you. If you don't fight, how can you still resist?"
Li Hu's eyes were stern, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up straight, an inexplicable power emanating from within.
The sun shone on his body, reflecting a faint golden color.
Chen Ji's complexion changed slightly.
The disciples all over the mountain were in an uproar, and even the elders sitting high in the clouds were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.
"I just succeeded in setting the bones."
"It took three years to finally get through the last orifice, which was designated as the golden bone."
"I feel so powerful in my body."
Li Hu looked at Chen Ji in front of him, his eyes serious and he raised his hands:
"Please enlighten me!"
The sun was hidden in the clouds, and there was clearly no sunlight, but the tall boy's body was illuminated by golden light. That was clearly the last stage of the bone setting realm, the symbol of the golden bone!
Once Li Hu's bones were set, they became golden bones!
Countless elders in the field had moved expressions on their faces. Bones were divided into five categories: willow bone, copper bone, iron bone, silver bone, and gold bone. Those who had a bone bone of iron bone or above for the first time were already considered to have very good qualifications.
Bronze bones are just ordinary, while silver bones are the one-in-a-hundred geniuses. As long as they practice hard, their future prospects will definitely be good.
Among the many elders of the Third Realm present, when the bones were determined for the first time, many of them had silver bones.
As for the golden bones.
To achieve such an achievement by setting the bones for the first time, it is definitely not possible to rely solely on talent or hard work during the awakening. Even if you look at the entire North County, there are very few geniuses who can directly set the gold bones. In the future, they will become the third It is a sure thing that the monks in the Dan-formation stage are a sure thing, and even the fourth level cannot be regarded as a hindrance.
For example, in their Taoist temple, there have been so many disciples for so many years, but there are only three geniuses who were once designated as golden bones!
The elder Xu Shi once made a great name for himself in Xuanyu, but in the end he offended a wealthy family and almost died.
Qin Zhishou, who is young and energetic and is known as the Taoist Temple's top genius, is now practicing in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
And countless years ago, the mysterious temple leader who almost led the Taoist temple to become a super sect, but finally died in a natural disaster.
There are only three people in total.
Li Hu is the fourth!
