Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 47 Mark
The sects from the northern border set up camp here. The tents of the Qingcheng Sect were as gray as their Taoist robes.

Not many people from the Qingcheng Sect came, so there were only three tents: one for the Sect Leader, one for Lin Yinghao and Wang Xin, and one for Wang Huan.

Tonight Wei Xi and Qin Feng will sleep in the same bed with Wang Huan, and even their bedclothes are stuffed into Lin Yinghao's tent.

Wang Huan couldn't help but ask about their well-being when he saw them. Of course, only she and Qin Feng got along well, so Wei Xi just played a supporting role.

"Senior Sister," Wei Xi suddenly spoke up, and Wang Huan then remembered that he had ignored Wei Xi. "Are monsters really scary?"

"It depends on what kind of monster it is," Wang Huan thought, thinking it was just a child frightened by being caught up in this series of events. "Monsters are just like cultivators, except that they can't open their minds unless they follow the Dao."

"But senior brother said that two senior brothers and sisters who were in the foundation-building stage died." After saying this, Wei Xi shuddered twice, looking as if he was still frightened.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister." Wang Huan, with a more cheerful demeanor, had much the same personality as his older brother. "This time, the monster went berserk for some reason. We can only say it was bad luck, otherwise those two wouldn't have died."

"For those who practice Taoism, there are more ways to die than to live." Wang Huan said this casually. The two remaining people in the tent, one was accustomed to wars, and the other was not afraid of life and death by nature, so they didn't react much.

Nothing happened that night, but when they set off the next day, there were two more boxes containing ashes in the team.

Lian Gouqie came over and asked Wei Xi, "You cultivators carry urns with you?" Wei Xi rolled his eyes in return.

Perhaps because they had lost two disciples, this team, which was mostly composed of young people, entered Baoxiang City quietly.

The second floor of Yuelai Inn was booked by the wealthy Wanfa Sect. After the elder was murdered and the disciples disappeared, Fan Ci simply asked the remaining disciples to live on the second floor.

When the people outside the city returned to the inn, they met the distraught Fan Ci.

"Thank you for your hard work, seniors," Fan Ci said, looking exhausted as he sat in his wheelchair. "Baoxiang City has been in turmoil lately. The Wanjian Sect and the people sent by Huaixin have clashed with the officials."

Upon hearing this, the elders and Chen Zhou all knew that the focus was not on the official.

It was difficult to deal with the people from the Wanjian Sect and the Huaixin Sect, and the conflict with the officials was just an excuse.

After all, the city lord of Baoxiang City has a good relationship with the major sects, so how could he come into conflict with the world's number one sect?

After hearing what was said, they felt relieved and comforted Fan Ci. They asked his disciples to go back to their rooms to rest while they went to check on Shi Ke.

When Wei Xi saw Senior Sister Fan's expression, he knew that he and Qin Feng, the two witnesses, would be brought in for interrogation soon, and even Gou Xie would not be able to escape.

It was useless to worry, so they went up to the second floor and chose three rooms.

He was taken away for interrogation shortly afterwards.

However, the three were brought in for trial separately, so Wei Xi could only hope that there would be no mistakes in their confessions.

After all, she must bring Lian Gouwei back to Qingcheng Sect.

The two cultivators who interrogated Wei Xi were from the Wanjian Sect and the Wanfa Sect respectively.

Wei Xi sat on one side of the table, and she deliberately put her arms on the table.

"Wei Xi, a disciple of Qingcheng Sect, has reached the stage of Qi training." The cultivator from Wanjian Sect checked Wei Xi's basic information, and Wei Xi nodded in confirmation.

"Just answer the questions truthfully," said the monk from the Wanfa Sect, with a kind expression and a gentle tone, "We just want to understand the situation."

"The leader of the Qingcheng Sect has told us about your situation. If your bird runs out of energy, we have prepared paper and pen." The man from the Wanjian Sect thought that Wei Xi and Lingyin had signed some kind of contract, so he thoughtfully prepared a backup plan.

"Okay." After answering the question, Wei Xi sat there obediently waiting to be questioned.

"Why did you go to Elder Shi Ke's room?"

"Send things."

"What to give?"

Wei Xi looked up at the cultivator from the Wanjian Sect and whispered, "It's the mission of Master Han..." "It doesn't matter, just tell us what you know." said the cultivator from the Wanfa Sect.

After getting permission, Wei Xi seemed to hesitate for a moment, "Master Han asked Qin Feng and me to hand over a box to Elder Shi."

"Is the box still there?"

Wei Xi shook his head. "While chasing the shadow, we accidentally touched the box and entered the secret realm. We don't know where the box went."

Wei Xi caught a glimpse of the monk from the Wanfa Sect writing down the two words "box" and "Master Han" on a piece of paper.

"Did you meet anyone suspicious? Or did you hear or see anything suspicious?"

"No..." Wei Xi supported his right arm, "We just met Ge Cang from the Huaixin Sect on the way. We were worried about disturbing Elder Shi, so we followed her."

"Why did you push the door open?"

"We informed Elder Shi several times at the door, but he didn't respond," Wei Xi said, biting her lip, a little panicked. "There's a float tonight, and I wanted to finish my business and have some fun, so... who knew I'd find Elder Shi..."

Wei Xi played a somewhat reserved role. The two monks who interrogated her had never seen her before and just thought she was a playful child.

"Did you notice anything when you saw the body?"

Wei Xi thought about it, then shook his head. "There was a lot of blood, and there was a...broken knife stuck in his chest!"

The two men interrogating her exchanged glances, and the child seemed to be fine.

"What happened after that?"

"We tried to save him, but he was already dead... Then the Huaixin sect's disciples came over... and accused us..."

Wei Xi's voice was not clear when she said this, but her expression was a mixture of grievance and anger, which made the two people who were interrogating her feel more relieved.

Wei Xi continued, "We argued for a bit, and then Senior Sister Fan showed up. You know the rest."

"Why are you going back?"

"Go back? Oh, it was Qin Feng who lost a piece of jewelry. We searched everywhere, and finally remembered that we hadn't found it in Elder Shi's room yet..."

"What about you and Sombra?"

"When I went in to look for jewelry, I saw a figure. Qin Feng chased after him, and I... followed him. On the way, I met Lian Gouye. He said he was a casual cultivator and could help us..."

Wei Xi's acting is superb, and he looks weak and frightened.

Next, we will follow the confessions made by the three of them. The details are the same, but the words used may be different.

The two men interrogated Wei Xi, took his confession and left. Wei Xi returned to his room, but Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie were still interrogating him and would not be back for a while.

Wei Xi was alone in the room, her mind still racing. Senior Sister Fan had clearly recorded all of this, so why did she still have to interrogate the three of them separately?

It seems that in addition to Elder Shi Ke, the focus is also Lian Gou Xie.

There is another possibility, Wei Xi closed his eyes, maybe the Wanjian Sect and Huaixin Sect are not satisfied with the existing explanation.

In any case, Shi Ke’s death had nothing to do with the three of them; they were just unlucky ones.

Wei Xi went to the washbasin to wash his hands and face. When he rolled up his sleeves, the mark of the red rope on his wrist was faintly visible.
