The people who were monitoring Li Shen soon sent a report that Li Shen had been in school and had not returned home for the New Year.

But this is not that strange. Li Shen has always been a loner. All his close relatives have passed away, and it was the same for him in previous years.

Other than that, there was nothing strange or out of the ordinary.

"I still believe in my intuition. There must be something wrong with Li Shen." Mo Xu said firmly.

"Don't worry, Xiao Mo. After investigation, we found that this person is too low-key. I heard that he basically didn't recruit students in previous years, but this year he recruited Zhao Xi and something went wrong. The association has long been suspicious." He Tian explained: "Also, the origin of his monster is also very questionable."

"His demon beast, the black and white zombie?" Mo Xu asked doubtfully, "What could be the problem?"

"There are two origins of this kind of monster, one is native, and the other is evolved. If it is native, then this kind of race can only be found near the "Ghost Shadow Forbidden Land". According to our tracing, the materials he obtained in previous years are unlikely to evolve this kind of race. How could an unknown master escape from the outer edge of the forbidden land without making a sound?"

"Ghost Shadow Forbidden Land?" Mo Xu caught a sense of familiarity: "Did Chen Yuhui also obtain the complete heroic soul of Star Puppet Horse from there during the Secondary University League?"

"Yes, you are very perceptive. If the Ghost Shadow Forbidden Land is really related to the forces behind it, then it will be troublesome." He Tian's face was a little solemn: "Anyway, I'm tired from the journey. I'll go meet him tomorrow after a good rest."

The forbidden area is a mysterious region where even the venerables can perish. If it could really be controlled or driven by some force, the consequences would be disastrous.

Mo Xu felt even more strange in his heart. Not only the information about the Ghost Shadow Forbidden Land, but also the Yinlei Mansion came from Zhao Xi. It couldn't be that a student knew about it. It must have been provided by the power behind it.

Could it be that these people have gone to such great lengths in managing the wild?

But according to what General Fu said, those people were the losers in past struggles, and the establishment has gone through hundreds of years of development, and the number of masters, venerables, adventurers and other talents should be the strongest, and the losers should not be allowed to catch up.

"Is there a deeper shadow behind these people?" Mo Xu pondered.

In the secret guesthouse at the Western Military District’s headquarters, Mo Xu had the most comfortable sleep he had in “several months”.

The next day, to be on the safe side, Jiang Hongfang went in person to summon Li Shen. Li Shen did not make any extra moves and obediently followed Jiang Hongfang to the base.

He Tian's Tian Qing Luan and Jiang Hongfang's Yuan Jia Beast both appeared in the house, staring at Li Shen with eager eyes.

Later, He Tian and Mo Xu also showed up and met with Li Shen.

"Professor Li, how are you?" Mo Xu smiled faintly and greeted him.

"Mo Xu!" Li Shen was slightly surprised: "You are still alive, that's great!"

"The professor wanted to kill me at that time. Should I thank him for not killing me?" Mo Xu smiled.

"Where did you get that? I was drugged by that sinister student of mine." Li Shen was very surprised: "After the incident, I went to look for you, but I couldn't find you. I thought you met with an accident."

"Li Shen!" He Tian's eyes were sharp. "You colluded with foreign forces and strangled the talented seed that the association values. You will be treated leniently if you confess."

Li Shen adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, unable to read the emotions in his eyes: "What does Venerable He mean? Why would I harm others for no reason? It was Zhao Xi who colluded with foreign forces, not me."

He Tian sneered: "So, Master Li also knows about the foreign forces. It seems that he is well-informed."

"I'm just saying this to get things out of hand, aren't I?" Li Shen looked up at Tian Qing Luan and Yuan Jia Beast, "It seems that Master Jiang and Venerable He are not looking at evidence, but are directly defining my behavior?"

"You want evidence? Okay!" He Tian took out a bell from his clothes: "This is the "Inquiry Bell", I wonder if Master Li dares to try it?"

"Oh? You even brought this thing with you. It seems that the association has decided to take advantage of me." Li Shen smiled softly: "I have a clear conscience. What is there to be afraid of?"

"What is this?" Mo Xu asked Jiang Hongfang quietly.

"The Heart-Questioning Bell is a remnant discovered during archaeological excavations. After being repaired by several generations of venerables and instrument-casters who are proficient in the spiritual system, it has regained some of its functions. It can directly act on the mind and allow the subject to answer any question they ask," Jiang Hongfang explained.

"Stand still and don't move. You are not allowed to summon monsters, otherwise I will kill them." He Tian warned sternly. Tian Qingluan injected a large amount of original energy, and the Heart-Questioning Bell suddenly showed a deep black light and slowly rose.

If this device is to work perfectly on the master, it must be driven at full strength by the venerable monster.

The black light enveloped Li Shen, causing his entire expression to relax and he slumped to the ground.

The purpose of using the Heart-Searching Bell is of course not only to help Mo Xu get revenge, but more importantly, to find out the whole story behind it.

"Let me ask you, who are you?"

"I'm Li Shen, from Yangcheng City, and I'm a full professor at Gusheng University." Li Shen looked dazed.

"Why did you do all this? Who ordered you to do it?"

"What's the matter?" Li Shen raised his head stiffly.

"Don't act crazy or stupid. Let me remind you about what happened in Yuanci City." He Tian shouted.

"Yuanci City... it was Zhao Xi... he had a grudge against Mo Xusheng, so he drugged me for a long time and manipulated me to kill Mo Xu. It was not my intention."

Mo Xu frowned. Could it be that Li Shen really had no problems, or was he just overthinking it?

"Li Shen is a master of the ghost system. He has extraordinary mental strength and his psychological defenses may be far beyond ordinary people. Venerable He will pry open his mouth." Jiang Hongfang was able to keep his composure.

“I advise you to be sensible. Confess now and you will get leniency. Once it invades your mind, it will cause irreversible damage.” He Tian’s face was grim.

"I really don't understand what you are saying..." Li Shen was still dazed.

"If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you!" He Tian nodded, and Tian Qingluan's momentum rose suddenly. An endless supply of blue flames was injected into the Heart-Searching Bell, making the black light turn blue.

"Answer me, who is behind you and who is behind you?"

"..."

The black light enveloped Li Shen, and in the silence he suddenly laughed softly, making him look like a ghost in the shadows.

An inexplicable light flashed under the gold-rimmed glasses, and his body suddenly exploded.

After the explosion, there was no blood and flesh flying everywhere. Instead, a black and white light appeared, along with the black light of the Heart-Searching Bell, which instantly enveloped the Tianqingluan and the Yuanjia Beast.

"No! He is not a human!" He Tian's face changed.

Present were a Venerable and an old master at the peak of the King level. The reel of this attack could only cause a moment of stagnation.

Tianqingluan and Yuanjia Beast fought back immediately, waving their superb skills to isolate the inside and outside, and never let the black and white light escape.
