Chapter 358: Jianli’s acting, Chu Lingchuan’s crisis?
Everyone looked at the door.
Yue Jianli slowly walked into the main hall.
A smile appeared on Chen Yundao’s face as he said, “It’s really time for Chief Yue to return.”
Chu Lingchuan’s brows knit together.
If Yue Jianli couldn’t come back, she wouldn’t be so worried. After all, the “evidence” he had didn’t prove anything.
But now…
If she was to leak something out, this matter would not be resolved.
Yue Jianli looked at the ten Elders in front of her, then at the three Emperor-level power-houses sitting not far away. The situation was far more serious than she thought.
Her mind raced as she asked curiously, “Master, why is it so lively today? Wasn’t this Daoist Chen and Master Mingyuan?”
“Amitabha.” Mingyuan pressed his palms together with a kind expression.
Chen Yundao said nothing while crossing his arms.
Chu Lingchuan’s eyes flickered as she said, “Jianli, where did you run off to? I haven’t seen you for so long?”
Yue Jianli replied, “I heard that the pear garden in Jiangzhe City was pretty good, so I went over to look.”
Chen Yundao said, “Where’s Li Tiezhu? Not with you?”
Yue Jianli shook her head and said, “No, I went out alone.”
Hmph!
Chen Yundao snorted. He naturally didn’t believe her.
Yue Jianli walked to Chu Lingchuan’s side and whispered, “Master, what’s going on?”
Chu Lingchuan cleared her throat. “Feng Wanjiang is dead. Do you know about this?”
“What?” Yue Jianli covered his mouth and exclaimed, “Chief Feng is dead?”
Chen Yundao sneered. “Could it be that Chief Yue is trying to say she hasn’t seen him before?”
“Of course I have.”
Yue Jianli said, “We also entered the secret realm together.”
“Huh?”
Chen Yundao was stunned.
He did not expect Yue Jianli to be so frank.
A trace of a smile flashed across Chu Lingchuan’s eyes as she asked, “And then? When you were refining the Heavenly Flame, what exactly happened?”
Yue Jianli said seriously, “At that time, Junior sister Li asked me to refine the Heavenly Flame, and the guardian of the Death Prison wanted to attack me. He was killed by Junior sister Li, and Bai Jiangye used the Heavenly Treasure to escape from the secret realm…”
Chen Yundao interrupted, “I already know what you’re saying. I’m asking about Feng Wanjiang!”
“Chief Feng?”
Yue Jianli recalled, “Chief Feng has been hiding from the very beginning and never showed himself. Because the time it took to refine the Heavenly Flame was too long, it destroyed the original rules of the secret realm, so the entire secret realm began to collapse.”
“Junior sister Li and I managed to escape with great difficulty. As for Chief Feng… I thought he had escaped like Bai Jiangye.”
According to her speculation, Chen Yundao might have checked the memories of Bai Jiangye. However, no one else would know what happened after Bai Jiangye left.
Therefore, she deliberately said that it was half true and half false so that no one could find any flaws.
Sure enough, Chen Yundao frowned.
The secret realm collapsed?
His spiritual sense had already swept through the entrance of the secret realm, and it had indeed collapsed. Yue Jianli’s explanation could be said to be watertight.
However, he still felt that something was wrong.
“How could you let Feng Wanjiang off after killing the guardian of the Death Prison?” Chen Yundao asked.
Yue Jianli said righteously, “If you want to attack me, it’s only natural for me to kill you. Chief Feng had been hiding in the shadows and had not made a move. We were both from the Righteous path, so why should I kill him?”
“This…” Chen Yundao was in a daze.
Chu Lingchuan also added, “Feng Wanjiang probably wanted to hide by the side to see if he had an opportunity. Who would have thought that the secret realm would collapse and directly annihilate him? Being afraid of death was indeed the style of the Supreme Dao Palace.”
She was referring to the Southern Border Beast Tide and the escape of the Supreme Dao Palace disciples.
Chen Yundao’s face darkened.
Chu Lingchuan cleared her throat and said, “Since the matter has been clarified, Sect Master Chen should do whatever he wants.”
Chen Yundao curled his lips and snorted, “This is just Chief Yue’s side of the story!”
Chu Lingchuan frowned and said, “Then what else do you want?”
Chen Yundao waved his Daoist robe and said, “If Chief Yue has a clear conscience, let me check her memory. The truth will come out!”
Yue Jianli’s expression did not change, but her hands behind her tightened.
“What did you say?” Chu Lingchuan’s pretty face quickly darkened. “Because of your suspicion, it depends on my disciple’s memory. Are you crazy?”
Chen Yundao shook his head and said, “If Chief Chu thinks it’s inappropriate, she can do it herself, just like Shen Tu. She just needs to show the real scene.”
Chu Lingchuan narrowed her eyes. “What if I don’t?”
Chen Yundao didn’t back down. “I said that this matter must be investigated and revealed!”
“Amitabha.”
Mingyuan whispered a Buddhist proclamation. His stance was self-evident.
Atmosphere immediately became tense!
……
On a hill thousands of miles away…
Shen Tu and Ji Chenyuan stood with their hands behind their back and looked at the distant void.
Shen Tu smiled and said, “Chen Yundao is quite smart. He knows that Chu Lingchuan is not easy to deal with, and he has dragged Master Mingyuan over.”
Ji Chenyuan was puzzled. “Master Mingyuan is innocent, yet he’s still in this mess?”
Shen Tu shook his head. “Without benefits, he won’t move. This Bald Monk is not a fool. Chen Yundao must have promised a lot of benefits.”
“Besides, Yue Jianli’s talent is high enough. Now that Li Tiezhu, who is even stronger, has appeared, the Myriad Sword Pavilion has broken the balance. How could the other sects sit still?”
Ji Chenyuan laughed and said, “These Righteous Paths are really dirty.”
Shen Tu sighed. “No matter how strong Chu Lingchuan is, it will be very difficult to do one against two. Moreover, she is at the headquarters of the Myriad Sword Pavilion. She can not bear the loss.”
Ji Chenyuan nodded and said, “That’s right, I’m afraid she’s going to give in…”
Before they could finish, the two suddenly sensed something, and their expressions filled with disbelief.
“Why is she here too?”
……
Wind Frost Palace.
Chen Yundao crossed his arms and said, “Chief Chu, you are indeed very strong, but you can not deal with Mingyuan and me at the same time. I advise you not to be stupid and show everyone Yue Jianli’s memory.”
Chu Lingchuan secretly gritted her teeth.
The combination of Ox-nose and the Bald Monk was indeed very difficult to deal with.
Moreover, this was Cloud Sword Island. If she wasn’t careful, her sect’s foundation would be destroyed!
Even someone as irritable as her fell silent for a moment.
Chen Yundao was extremely pleased with himself, and his smile was extremely proud. Clearly, he was certain that he would eat the other party.
Just as he was about to continue pressing, an indifferent voice came from the air,
“Since Chu Lingchuan is not your match, what about this poor Daoist?”
Chen Yundao’s smile instantly stiffened!
