Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 227 After the Storm
Three quarters of an hour after Su Regret and the others left last night, Lu Sen and the others' cultivations were all restored.

They followed the direction the former left in the beginning and chased them far away, but they could no longer find any trace of breath.

The people in Xianhen disappeared like fish into the vast sea. Finding nothing, they could only return to their sect in frustration.

The big commotion last night was unexpected by everyone in the Qing Chi Sword Sect. It caught them off guard and caused serious damage to the sect——

Zangbao Peak was almost split into two.

No one has ever escaped from the Wuchufeng Sword Prison, but someone escaped from the deepest part.

When the escaped leader of Xianhen fought against the Supreme Elder in the sect, he also caused great damage to the sect. Some small mountain peaks were beaten to pieces and turned into ruins.

During the battle between the two sides, although one of the immortals was killed, one of the Supreme Elders was also killed.

In the end, they all escaped, and Su Han was also rescued, taking the Qing Chi Sword away completely.

The most important thing is that under their eyes, a hole was drilled into the sect-protecting formation without even realizing it!Moreover, it was later discovered that Wu Chufeng's formation had also been manipulated.

Looking at the remaining white Tencel door, it is not difficult to tell that it is the work of the Silk-Tangled Demon. This also shows that she has been lurking in the sect for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible to do this.

Lu Sen was extremely furious about this!
It has been more than [-] years since the Qing Chi Sword Sect was founded, and it has never suffered such a loss.

After the man who pursued the immortal mark failed and returned to the sect, he sent people to repair the sect-protecting formation, and immediately began to investigate where the traitor came from.

Outside the main hall at the top of Breaking Law Peak, a group of elders were waiting to be questioned.Everyone was talking quietly about this incident, and were secretly dissatisfied with Lu Sen's approach of interrogating everyone as suspects.

However, there was nothing they could do.

Accompanied by the three Supreme Elders, the sect master Immortal Ling Heng returned to the sect master peak without saying a word, and then he did not say a word. All affairs in the sect were still presided over by Lu Sen.

In front of the palace, the next person to be questioned was Shangguan Pu, who hid under the Wuchufeng Sword Prison until the storm subsided and was called out by the elders who came down to check the specific situation.

The fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, feeling both nervous and relaxed in his heart.

What is relaxing is that the evidence of the massacre of his fellow disciples has been destroyed, and there is no need to worry about exposure.But no matter what, the person with the immortal mark was put into the sword prison by himself.

Although they were prevented from escaping in the end, which could be considered as making up for some mistakes, they still couldn't escape the relationship.

While he was hesitating in his heart, an elder who had been interrogated came out and glanced at him. He suppressed the panic in his heart and walked away.

In the hall, Lu Sen stood alone in front of him, his face full of frost, and several peak masters stood behind him, also frowning slightly.

Especially Du Tiannian, the leader of Mingjing Peak, looked ugly.If something like this happened within the sect, he felt that he was responsible for his negligence.

Lu Sen narrowed his eyes when he saw Shangguan Pu coming in.

Shangguan Pu suddenly felt a slight chill on his back.

Lu Sen said coldly: "Did you know that the two important criminals at the deepest level of the 33rd floor have escaped?"

Shangguan Pu did not dare to look at the eyes of the sword head, lowered his head and said: "I know, I know."

Lu Sen looked at him up and down, his eyes already piercing him with a hint of sword intent: "Oh, you were unscathed? According to the elders who rushed to the entrance of the sword prison later, there was no trace of the battle there. It was you Did you let them in?"

Shangguan Pu was sweating coldly and replied: "Master Lu Feng, that Immortal One... he has a white object in his hand, which can not only break the Immortal Prison Chain, but also break through the sword formation easily.

"Besides, he is a cultivator of the Nine Realms, and I am far from his opponent. He is coercing me with strength, so I have no choice but to..."

"You have to be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Lu Sen interrupted coldly.

"I..." Cold sweat broke out on Shangguan Pu's forehead.

Lu Sen continued to interrupt him and said word by word: "No, you should swear to death."

Shangguan Pu lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore. The words and excuses he had originally thought of were useless.

Lu Sen looked at him coldly and said, "First tell me in detail what you encountered last night."

"Yes. Last night, I was as usual..."

Shangguan Pu concealed the details of being caught and negotiating, and only focused on how the other party forced him to open the sword prison, what he saw deep in the sword prison, and how he finally found the opportunity to trigger the sword prison at the last moment. The formation left them behind.

When he mentioned that the Immortal Prison Chain on Su Han's body had long been untied, Lu Sen's eyes flashed, and then he was filled with endless doubts.

When he faced Su Han yesterday, he also noticed something was wrong. It was impossible for that kid to still be alive and kicking after being locked in the cave for half a year and being eroded by the cold air of the sword prison for half a year.

But before he could investigate, the Xianhen people attacked.

When he learned the truth at this moment, his face looked horribly ugly.

After Shangguan Pu finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and waited for the peak masters to speak without daring to breathe.

From behind, Zhou Xingyan said: "Senior Brother Lu, Elder Shangguan has guarded the sword prison for our peak for a long time and has never gone out. It is unlikely that he has colluded with Xianhen."

Shangguan Pu saw the peak master interceding for him and cast a grateful look.

Lu Sen pulled back his thoughts and said: "Hmph, as a guard at the entrance of the sword prison, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and neglected his duties. Although he had a blocking effect in the end, it was not worth the effort. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. Go Mirror Peak is waiting to be released."

Shangguan Pu looked a little bitter, bowed to Lu Sen, and exited the hall.

After he left, Zhongshu frowned and said, "What on earth is that white thing? It can break the Immortal Prison Chain and Sword Formation."

Lu Sen thought for a moment and said, "It should be related to the True Dragon. Only it can ignore the world's martial arts. But that Su Han, I can't figure out how he unlocked the Immortal Prison Chain..."

Everyone in the room was silent, and no one had an answer.

Suddenly, two figures swept into the hall.

The peak masters looked around and saw that the elder who had been interrogated not long ago had returned and brought a mortal woman with him.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

The elder said: "Peak Lord, I just met this woman in the peak, and I heard something tricky in her words, so I brought them here quickly."

"Stupid?" Lu Sen turned his head to look at the mortal woman who was already a little scared, and asked, "Who are you? Repeat what you just said."

Niu Xiaoshu was extremely nervous and confused when she came face to face with many big shots for the first time.She was just looking for her companion Chen Xiaoyue. Why did the elder react so badly after hearing this?

But looking at the leader's eyes that seemed to be able to freeze people into ice cubes, she could only stutter and repeat what she had just said to the elder.

After listening, Lu Sen's eyes flashed brightly. After a moment of silence, his spiritual thoughts suddenly spread out and enveloped the entire Law Breaking Peak.

Every plant and tree on the peak can be heard clearly.

But there is no other lost ordinary woman in the peak.

And it is impossible for ordinary women to get out of Broken Sword Peak.

Calculating the time, it had been three or four years since Zhou Quanwu joined the sect, which was enough time for the Silk-Tangled Demon to manipulate the formation silently.

He withdrew his spiritual thoughts and said coldly to the elder: "Call Zhou Quanwu."

The elder took the order and left.

Not long after, he returned to the hall again, followed by a confused Zhou Quanwu.

Zhou Quanwu and his brothers were discussing the events of last night in the cave, but the elder who suddenly came told him that the master of the peak was meeting him, and then he was picked up directly to the top of the peak.

He was filled with doubts. Wasn't the peak master interrogating the elders of each peak?Why did you summon him suddenly?

And the elder's face looked very serious, as if something had happened.

After entering the main hall, he saw Niu Xiaoshu standing aside, and he was even more confused.

What is your maid doing here?
With an unknown premonition in his heart, he bowed politely to Lu Sen and others, and then asked carefully: "Peak Master, I wonder why you asked this disciple to come here?
Lu Sen stared at Zhou Quanwu, frowned and said, "Kneel down."

Zhou Quanwu was stunned.

Looking up at Lu Sen, he found that there was a little anger on his face. How dare he contradict him, so he had to kneel down.

"Do you know what crime you deserve?"

Zhou Quanwu was even more confused, shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't know."

"Why did you bring the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon into the sect? Your royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also involved with Xianhen?"

Zhou Quanwu's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned. After a while, he said: "Feng, Peak Master, this disciple really doesn't understand what you are talking about..."

Although the royal family often pays their lives to Xianhen, who in the world has not done so?Their relationship with Xianhen only ends there.

Lu Sen snorted coldly and said with suppressed anger: "Did you know that your maid, Chen Xiaoyue, is the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon who stirred up trouble in the sect last night?"

"Ah?" Zhou Quanwu was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Ah?!"

His mind suddenly went blank, and the figure of the maid who always had a calm expression but was very diligent in her hands and feet flashed in his mind.

Is she the Silk-Tangled Devil?

Is the maid who has been called back and forth by him for six or seven years the Silk-Tangled Demon?
But the figure I saw last night, no matter the clothes or appearance, could not be related to Chen Xiaoyue.

He was stunned.

How did Zhou Quanwu know that Cheng Yingyue had already used Tencel to change her appearance before taking action at Hidden Treasure Peak?

How could he recognize it.

Niu Xiaoshu's eyes were also a little distracted. She finally understood that Chen Xiaoyue, who she spent time with day and night, turned out to be an immortal master!
Still very powerful!It seems that she was also responsible for last night's disturbance!

And these immortal masters in front of her are all looking for trouble for her right now?

"Why did you bring her into the sect?" Lu Sen asked Zhou Quanwu.

"This..." Zhou Quanwu was a little confused, still shocked by the identity of the maid, and subconsciously replied, "She is diligent, so the eunuch in charge of the palace chose her to take care of the disciples' daily life in the sect..."

As he spoke, his body trembled suddenly, he reacted, and looked up at the peak master. The coldness in the latter's eyes made his clothes wet with cold sweat that instantly broke out.

He immediately said: "Disciple, I don't know her identity! The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has nothing to do with the so-called Immortal Hen! Please tell me, Peak Master!"

"Is there anything unusual about her? She has been lurking in the sect for three or four years. If she wants to break through the formation, she will definitely reveal some flaws. As her master, you have been completely unaware of it all these years?"

"This disciple has never paid attention to these servants, so... I don't know if there is anything strange about them." He broke out in cold sweat, looked at Niu Xiaoshu and said, "She is the one who spends time with Chen Xiaoyue, she must what do you know!"

Everyone turned their attention to Niu Xiaoshu who was standing aside.

Niu Xiaoshu thought about it carefully and found that Chen Xiaoyue would not be seen occasionally when she got up at night, but she thought it was because she was summoned by His Highness and didn't think much about it.

At this moment, it seems that Chen Xiaoyue's disappearance in those nights was not simple.

In the panic, she originally wanted to tell what she knew subconsciously, but her mind suddenly flashed back to the few pills that Chen Xiaoyue had given her that could help her father stand up again, and her words became: "I too I don't know, she's not unusual in normal times."

After saying that, she lowered her head.

Lu Sen frowned and snorted, "No matter what, it can't change the fact that she is the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon, nor can it change the fact that you brought her into the sect."

Zhou Quanwu originally wanted to retort that when he joined the sect a few years ago, the sect conducted a detailed investigation, but didn't they find out that Chen Xiaoyue was the Silk-Tangled Demon?
But looking at Lu Sen's eyes, he swallowed all these words.

My peak master is not someone who can talk to me about these things.

"Whether you and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty are innocent or not is not something that can be cleared up by your own words." Lu Sen looked at him coldly.

Hearing this, Zhou Quanwu paused, his face turned pale, and he fell into deep thought.

Could it be that someone in the palace colluded with Xianhen and sent Chen Xiaoyue to him in order to harm him?

Lu Sen turned to Du Tiannian and said: "Junior brother Du, send an elder and several disciples from Mingjing Peak to set off immediately to go to the Zhou royal family with Zhou Quanwu to find out the matter. Be careful on the way and don't do anything. Let him escape."

He glanced at Zhou Quanwu.

Zhou Quanwu's face turned from white to red, and he felt a sense of humiliation. He was treating himself as a prisoner...

Du Tiannian nodded, then picked up Zhou Quanwu and Niu Xiaoshu and left the hall.

Lu Sen said to the peak masters behind him: "Now that we know where the Silk-Tangled Heavenly Demon came from, it is useless to interrogate him any further. Please inform the elders outside the hall before you leave."

Zhong Shu and the others nodded, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, how should we resolve the matter between Su Regret and Qing Chi Sword?"

Zhou Xingyan frowned and said: "Although he escaped from Wuchu Peak, no matter what he claimed to the outside world or what he said, on the surface, Su Han voluntarily stayed in our sect as a guest. If we send someone out The arrest seems a bit..."

Lu Sen rubbed his brow. To a certain extent, this time it was a mistake.

"Here's the order, what happened in the sect last night must not be told outside!
"Whether it's the Xianhen people attacking and leaving calmly, or Su Han leaving safely, the news of these two things will do great harm to our sect's prestige! We can only deal with this matter coldly.

"Repair the damage within the sect. As for Su Han, if the disciples of our sect encounter him in private in the future, he will be captured directly and sent back to the sect to be imprisoned in Wuchu Peak."

The peak masters sighed secretly and left, leaving Lu Sen standing desolately in the empty hall.

Later, several figures left the Qing Chi Sword Sect and flew towards the imperial city of Great Zhou.

They are none other than Zhou Quanwu and Ming Jingfeng.

Zhou Quanwu never expected that when he set out he was full of vigor and ambition, but after a few years, he returned to the palace as a "prisoner".

Thinking of those people in the palace, his face became very gloomy.

In the Qing Chi Sword Sect, this disturbance was suppressed by Lu Sen with strict orders, and no one was allowed to talk about it, nor was it allowed to spread it outside.

But even so, some elders or disciples in the sect who had been bribed still quietly spread the news out of desperation.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some rumors will be gradually spread in the spiritual practice world.
