Chapter 605: Chapter 598: Stunned Jiao Xi

"Soul search!"

Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling, had uttered just three words, causing everyone present to be shocked and their complexions wildly changed, even Yua Hanjing’s expression underwent successive drastic changes upon hearing these words!

The grand steward of Zhu Ling Mansion, Zhu Fu, and those two mute servants turned ashen-faced in an instant!

The soul searching Zhu Ling referred to was targeted at these three, and that was his irrefutable proof.

A person’s words could be fabricated, but the memories of the Divine Soul absolutely could not lie. By soul searching these three, and finding memories of Jiao Xi committing murder in their Divine Soul memories, that would serve as irrefutable proof.

"Master..."

Grand steward Zhu Fu’s eyes showed a desperate look, yet he couldn’t help but plead.

Any martial artist, after undergoing a soul search, scarcely any survived unscathed, and those who did barely had a life better than death.

The two mute servants had only fear and panic left in their eyes, at a loss on how to react.

"Elder Tus, Vice Sect Master Tian, Vice Sect Master Yao, please trouble the three of you to perform the Soul Searching Technique on these three, once the soul search is done, we will have the ironclad evidence!" Zhu Ling said.

Even though he had already known the answer, hearing Zhu Ling say it aloud evoked an indescribable sense of bleakness in the heart of grand steward Zhu Fu, who had devoted his life to serving Zhu Ling...

"Hmph, using Soul Searching Technique on Divine Sect devotees who have committed no faults, do you view the rules of the Divine Sect as nothing? Elder Tus, you aren’t breaking the law knowingly, are you?" Yua Hanjing sneered loudly, directly citing the regulations of the Divine Sect, trying her utmost to stop the soul search.

Zhu Ling’s demeanor made Yua Hanjing believe that Zhu Ling was confident that if the soul search indeed revealed the evidence, thereafter, the situation would be unstoppable!

"Hmph, devotees?" Zhu Ling sneered coldly, "Vice Hall Master Yua, aren’t you overestimating them? These three are not devotees of my Divine Sect, but rather my private martial slaves!

To kill or soul search them is my private affair, let alone you, even the Divine Sect has no right to intervene!"

A single sentence shattered Yua Hanjing’s schemes and also crushed the faint hope that had just arisen in the hearts of Zhu Fu and the other two martial slaves.

"Elder Tus, Vice Sect Master Tian, Vice Sect Master Yao, quickly proceed with the soul search, lest we waste more time!" Zhu Ling urged.

Tian Guizhang and Yao Sen did not move but simultaneously turned their gaze towards Punishment Hall Elder Tus De.

"This is a serious matter, proceed with the soul search!"

With a cold snort, Punishment Hall Elder Tus De quickly moved, his large hand fiercely landing on the head of grand steward Zhu Fu as tremendous Divine Soul Waves suddenly radiated from around Tus De.

Exchanging a glance, Tian Guizhang and Yao Sen also stepped forward, each placing a palm over the foreheads of the two mute servants, their bodies emitting powerful Divine Soul Waves.

The bodies of the three individuals violently convulsed almost simultaneously, their eyes bulging to the extreme, whites showing, as they issued guttural sounds of extreme pain, their bodies instinctively trying to escape the giant hands on their heads, but completely powerless to do so.

The pitiful state of these three individuals made Moonlight Hall Master Fengh Qingyue somewhat unable to bear to watch, such was the world of martial artists—if one wanted to control their own fate, they needed formidable strength.

And to control the fate of others, one needed even more overwhelming strength.

Just like at this moment, although Fengh Qingyue felt quite sympathetic, she could only watch helplessly.

In the midst of the tremendous Divine Soul Waves, rings of greyish radiance flickered ceaselessly on the hands of the three, a foul odor emanated from below the three soul-searched martial slaves, evidently losing control of themselves in the process of the soul search.

To make three Soul Sea Realm martial artists lose control, one can imagine just how terrifying the pain of the soul search was?

Gradually, the three soul-searched martial slaves bled from all orifices, their bodies becoming limp like noodles, suddenly, Elder Tus, Tian Guizhang, and Yao Sen simultaneously loosened their hands.

The three soul-searched martial slaves collapsed, spasmodically twitching on the ground, while Elder Tus and the others rubbed their brows in pain.

Soul searching was not an easy task; retrieving the vast memories of another martial artist was also very draining.

Seeing the soul search completed, everyone in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect looked either tense or expectant at Elder Tus and the others, with the result about to be revealed.

Yua Hanjing was even more on edge, with Jiao Xi’s innocence hanging in the balance at this very moment!

The next instant, Punishment Hall Elder Tus De abruptly opened his closed eyes, Divine Light bursting forth.

"Deacon Zhao, immediately lead the Punishment Hall Law Enforcement Team to apprehend Jiao Xi!"

"At your command!"

"Hall Master Shen, Jiao Xi has high cultivation, please dispatch members of the Sunshine Hall to join the Punishment Hall Law Enforcement Team in capturing Jiao Xi!"

"Okay!"

"Commander-in-Chief Jio, inform the Divine Sect Guards, if Jiao Xi is spotted, immediately launch a Warning Talisman!" The moment his eyes opened, Punishment Hall Elder Tus De issued three orders in succession, clearly, during the soul search, he had witnessed irrefutable evidence!

"You vile woman, what are you doing? You dared to inform Jiao Xi, indeed, it was you who directed Jiao Xi!"

Suddenly, Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling, roared furiously, his figure burst forth like an icy whirlwind towards Vice Hall Master Yua Hanjing of the Sunshine Hall!

As people turned their heads, they saw a Dao Talisman Communication just flying out from the palm of Yua Hanjing.

With a gentle wave of her hand, a wall of Blazing Flames suddenly erected in front of her chest, blocking Zhu Ling’s attack, then she sneered coldly, "Zhu Ling, don’t spout baseless accusations. I am sending a Dao Talisman Communication to the Sect Hierarch, to report this matter, why shouldn’t I?"

"Who knows if you’re sending a Dao Talisman Communication to the Sect Hierarch or notifying Jiao Xi?" Zhu Ling glowered furiously.

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask the Sect Hierarch!"

"You!"

Zhu Ling was utterly flustered, now Sect Hierarch’s authority was extremely formidable, even though he was the Sect Hierarch’s old brother, he dared not easily disturb the Sect Hierarch.

"Enough!"

When Zhu Ling still wanted to take action, Punishment Hall Elder Tus De coldly huffed, "Right and wrong have their own judgment in my Punishment Hall, you need not intervene. The Law Enforcement Team has already gone over, and news will soon arrive!"

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily shifted toward the sky.

At this moment, the three Martial Slaves of the Soul Sea Realm who had undergone Soul Search, the two mute servants had completely stopped moving, their bodies had stilled entirely, leaving only the Grand Steward Zhu Fu still alive.

Just that, it might have been better had he died.

Curled up, eyes wide open, gaze dull and wooden, devoid of even a trace of Spiritual Energy, judging by his look, he was most likely reduced to an idiot...

Within the Moonlight Hall, in a Spirit Academy housing a hundred members, Miaoyu paced back and forth in the courtyard, filled with unease, occasionally glancing outside the gate.

Suddenly, Miaoyu’s gaze stiffened, her expression suddenly becoming rigid, but it lasted only a moment before it turned into one of great expectation.

"The young master has returned, maybe there’s news of my sister..."

"Come in!"

Ye Zhen said just two words before walking into the Silent Chamber alone, while Miaoyu hesitated, then followed him in uneasily.

With a flick of his hand, a Spiritual Power Light Screen spread out from Ye Zhen, enveloping Miaoyu within it, forming a soundproof light screen.

Miaoyu felt a shock in her heart, instinctively wanting to retreat, but she found herself up against the Spiritual Power Light Screen, her mind in great panic.

Seeing this, Ye Zhen grew even more certain, staring coldly at Miaoyu, who sweated profusely from the intense gaze, at a loss for what to do!

With a thud, Miaoyu knelt down in front of Ye Zhen.

"What, you realize your mistake now?" Ye Zhen harrumphed coldly.

Miaoyu said nothing, her pretty face pale as paper.

"Speak, who sent you? Confess honestly, and I’ll grant you a swift end!"

Miaoyu trembled, suddenly raising her head, and forced a smile, "Young master, what are you saying? I... don’t understand..."

"Your acting isn’t bad!"

Ye Zhen pressed on, but Miaoyu remained silent.

"Hmph, you think that if you don’t speak, I won’t know? The person who sent you, could it be Jiao Xi or Yua Hanjing? You think by doing such things, Hanjing could still protect you? Even if it were successful, you cannot escape death!"

Miaoyu suddenly looked up, her charming eyes revealing endless fear, and suddenly she struck the ground with her head, begging pitifully, "Young master spare me, young master spare me! Miaoyu will not dare again, if the young master spares me this time, I will serve as cattle and horse, I will do whatever the young master commands me to..." As she spoke, Miaoyu looked up, her charming eyes, unexpectedly showing a rare charm.

"Too bad, if you live, I might have had to die..."

"Young master spa..."

Miaoyu’s scream came to an abrupt halt, a gentle palm strike, and Miaoyu instantly perished!

At this moment, Ye Zhen finally took a breath of relief, the last loose end was also taken care of.

....

Having just returned to his residence within the Divine Sect, a Talisman Light suddenly fell from the sky, the first two characters of the Talisman Communication startled Jiao Xi hugely.

"Escape quickly?"

"Why should I escape?"

Despite immense confusion, Jiao Xi still had to take it seriously, because it was Yua Hanjing who sent the Talisman Communication, and Hanjing would never deceive him.

Although Yua Hanjing had sent the Talisman Communication hastily, due to it being from the Divine Record, it was extremely fast, so the Talisman Communication still clarified everything.

Enduring patiently to read through the entire content of the Talisman Communication, Jiao Xi couldn’t help but be dumbfounded!

"How could this be?"

"It was clearly Ye Zhen who killed the person... How could the murderer become me?"

"And there’s ironclad evidence? Even ironclad evidence recognized by Punishment Hall Elder Tus...."

Everything on the Talisman Communication weighed heavily on Jiao Xi’s mind, being a former high echelon of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, he understood very well what this meant.

What was more fatal was that even Yua Hanjing had no assurance of saving him...

When he saw several streaks of light falling directly from the distance, Jiao Xi burst out with a curse, "Ye Zhen, fuck your ancestors!"

With a stomp, Jiao Xi’s figure soared into the sky, his eyes filled with disbelief and hatred, but the next moment, his expression changed.

He had already recognized that the rapidly approaching streaks of light were none other than the notoriously feared Punishment Hall Law Enforcement Team of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

With a thought, Jiao Xi immediately transformed into a meteor...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
