  Yan Zhao Song's eyebrows slightly raised: "Does Elder Yan think that Ye Shidi died because of whom?"

  Yan Zhaoge was given a cold look by Yan Xu: "What kind of occasion is this now, do you have the right to ask questions?"

  "All you need to do is answer truthfully, without a single false word or clever quibble."

  Yanzhao Song smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, today is an inquiry, not an interrogation. Even if it were an interrogation, it shouldn't be you, the Chief Elder of East Tang, interrogating me."

  "If you think I'm guilty from the start, where's the evidence?"

  Yan Xu didn't get angry and calmly said: "The true fire seed of Li Yan is now in whose hands?"

  "In my hands."

  Yan Xu turned his head towards Si Kong Qing: "Did Ye Jing say anything before he died?"

  Sī Kōng Qíng fell silent for a moment before answering truthfully: "Call out Yàn Shī Xiōng's name."

  "What's it called."

  "......anger, unwillingness, and...... resentment."

  The law enforcement elder waved his hand, and with a calm and focused gaze at Yan Zhao Ge: "Yan Shixiong, regarding the death of Ye Jing in the Dragon's Abyss, as the leader of the team, do you have anything to say?"

  He simply repeated his previous question, but with a slightly more serious tone.

  Yanzhao Song said: "First of all, let's correct something. Ye Shidi is currently only missing and his death has not been confirmed."

  The law enforcement elder asked calmly: "Why did you say that? What exactly happened?"

  Yanzhao Song took out a letter and smiled, saying: "As the master who led fellow disciples to perform historical training tasks, I naturally had to sort out reports on this trip. However, before I could submit it to the sect, I received news that you were coming, so I decided to leave it here and hand it over to you directly."

  The law enforcement elder fell silent for a moment, nodded: "This time I came over, also to bring your documents back together."

  He took over the letter, after a while, his eyes slightly fluctuated, and then handed it over to Yan Xu.

  Yan Xiu looked at it, his brow furrowed: "Your inner crystal furnace fell into the abyss and triggered a furnace explosion, destroying Ye Jing's physical body. However, Ye Jing had a treasured object on him that protected his soul, but then he disappeared without a trace?"

  Yanzhao Song said: "That treasure is very unusual, I have a premonition that Ye Shidi will return to us again soon, and then my words will be proven."

  "Of course, he may still harbor resentment towards me due to the explosion of the internal crystal furnace."

  The lord of the Eastern Tang Empire furrowed his brow: "If it's really as you said, Ye Jing is only at the mid-stage of Qi guidance now? Normally, going to Town Dragon Abyss alone would be a nine-death-one-life situation, let alone now that he's only left with his soul and has fallen into the deep abyss."

  Yanzhao Song said slowly: "The aura of his personal treasure that burst out in an instant is extremely powerful and should not be underestimated."

  Yan Zhaoge was stared at coldly by Yan Xu: "Ye Jing has never come back, how can you say that?"

  The law enforcement elder asked: "Did the true fire of Lí Yàn fall in front of you after being washed away by the great tide of Zhēn Lóng Yuān?"

  Yanzhao Song said: "That's right."

  The top three bosses stared at Yan Zhao Ge, silent and speechless.

  Yanzhao Ge said quietly, "From start to finish, it was just Ye Shidi having an opinion about me, he didn't take the initiative to provoke me, for me, there's no difference between him and other fellow disciples."

  "As for the True Flame of Departed Ember, I believe our sect will prioritize the research and development of the Inner Crystal Furnace. What I want to obtain is easily attainable."

  "Even if Junior Brother Ye didn't know better and fought with me over the fire kindling, I would have just taught him a lesson, not killed him."

  "Moreover, without me having to lift a finger, he won't be able to get away with it."

  "My report has mentioned it, and I believe you have also heard about it in previous messages."

  "Ye Shidi, acquainted with Ghost Axe Old Man Han Sheng."

  The law enforcement elder frowned: "What does this have to do with anything?"

  Yan Xue said indifferently: "Han Lao's grievances with me are not false, but that is a personal grievance and has nothing to do with the sect."

  "Yeh Jing and he were acquainted with each other, without any major issues, even if it was an old man, he wouldn't harbor resentment because of this."

  "If Han Lao Guai is willing to let go of past grievances, then this feud can be resolved. I have no objections."

  Yanzhao Song smiled: "That's right, both times we fought, you had the upper hand, and Han Sheng was at a disadvantage."

  But then, the smile on Yan Zhao Ge's face gradually disappeared: "However, things are not just that simple, Gui Fu Lao Ren Han Sheng is also related to this anomaly in Zhen Long Quan!"

  As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

  The law enforcement elder, Dong Tang Guozhu and Yan Xu all straightened their bodies, their eyes fixed intently on Yan Zhao Ge.

  "What basis do you have for making this judgment?"

  The pressure of the three Grandmasters made the entire grand hall seem like a crucible.

  Yanzhao Song smiled: "At that time, everyone present can prove that when Gui Fu Lao Ren first appeared, he had not yet discovered Ye Shidi, and his first sentence was 'Who ruined the old man's good deed', then we have to think about it, what is the good deed of Gui Fu Lao Ren?"

  As he spoke, Yan Zhao Ge handed over two crystal stones, one of which sealed the red light that had newly appeared in the black fog at the bottom of Zhen Long Quan.

  In another piece, however, the seal was placed on this blurry shadow, which was the evil shadow that Yan Zhao Ge had abandoned the true fire of Lianyan to pursue.

  Yanzhao Song looked straight at Yan Xu: "Elder Yan, you are most familiar with Gui Fu Lao Ren, have you found anything after looking at this thing?"

  Yan Xu took over the crystal stone, carefully feeling it, and the eyes of the law enforcement elder and the lord of Dongtang country were also fixed on him.

  After a while, Yan Xiu let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "I don't know which evil sect it is... but it's indeed the handwriting of Old Man Han."

  Yanzhao's song calmly described the process of encountering and capturing evil spirits, causing the three great masters present to fall into deep thought.

  The change of Zhenlongyuan is no trivial matter, for it involves the region of yesterday and today's "hell"!

  After a long while, the law enforcement elder lifted his head and asked: "What you are implying is that Ye Jingtong and Han Sheng have colluded?"

  Yanzhao Song shook his head: "I didn't mean it."

  "Ye Shidi and Gui Fu Lao Ren are acquainted with each other and even address each other as brothers, this is a fact."

  "The old man with the axe is related to the changes in Longyuan Town, this is also a fact."

  "How Ye Shidi got to know Gui Fu Lao Ren, how much he knows about the Zhen Long Quan matter, and how much he knows about Gui Fu Lao Ren's affairs; whether he has other intentions when joining our sect - all these are uncertain matters that need investigation."

  Yanzhao Song said: "I say these things just to illustrate that I want to make things difficult for Ye Shidi, without having to lift a finger myself."

  Yan Xu and three people fell silent at the same time.

  As the Yan Zhao song says, with such a thing happening, the sect would not use extreme measures to deal with Ye Jing, but a large-scale investigation is inevitable, and this alone is enough for Ye Jing to bear.

  Even Master Yan Zhao's senior brother will reconsider whether to accept Ye Jing as a disciple and at least wait until the investigation has come to a conclusive result.

  "I've said it before, Ye Shidi didn't die, that treasure of his seems to have a unique aura, perhaps it can help him recreate his physical body."

  "When he appears again, many things can be known by asking him directly. I don't mind confronting him in person."

  Yanzhao Song said with a light smile at the end, "At that time, we can make blood souls return to light and recreate the previous scene. No one needs to worry about each other's denial."

  Yan Xuchen asked in a low voice: "What if Ye Jing still doesn't show up?"

  "Three years, two years... one year? Or even less." Yan Zhao Song said lightly: "As long as it's not someone intentionally making him unable to appear again."

  Yan Xu's face sank like water.

  The master of Dongtang Kingdom leaned back in his chair and nodded slightly as he watched Yan Zhao Ge.

  "The Law Enforcement Elder said with a deep thought: 'I will report back to the sect about the complete process of today's interrogation.'"

  "Personally, I believe in your words, Yan Shidi, but as you said, I hope time will thoroughly prove your innocence. If Ye Jing can return safely, it would be a joyful thing, and the sect will continue to search for his whereabouts."

  After all, there is no concrete evidence to prove that Yan Zhao Ge intentionally put Ye Jing to death, not even a careless mistake can be mentioned.

  "Now that my matter is over, let's talk about something else." But Yan Zhao Ge suddenly spoke up: "The one who reported to the sect and leaked the news ahead of time was indeed Ling Feng Gu's Executive Elder Wen Ning."
