The leading disciple glanced aside and said in a low voice, "Brother Lan, Elder Wan is coming soon, don't make it difficult for us, and don't let yourself suffer."

Lan Zhi's wrist was still pinching the disciple's neck, with a slight coldness on his face.All of a sudden, a dark green shadow descended from the sky. It came so fiercely that it startled the flying snow.Wan Chengbin's beard trembled slightly, and he said sharply, "Lan Zhi, what are you doing? Let him go and follow me!"

Lan Zhi's body didn't move, his right hand was holding a lavender elixir in his wide sleeve, and he said coldly: "There is nothing wrong with this disciple, why did Master send someone to arrest me?"

There was a hint of embarrassment in Wan Chengbin's eyes: "Whether you are guilty or not is not yet settled, first follow me to the head of the sect and make it clear, if you have not made any mistakes, of course you will be innocent."

How could he be innocent, like Bai Fengyang?

Seeing that Lan Zhi was unmoved, Wan Chengbin said anxiously: "You refused to follow me, and you kidnapped your fellow apprentice. Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart? I don't believe that you really have a problem. Hurry up and explain the matter to me. Otherwise, you want the head to come and arrest you personally? Do you think you can escape?"

Lan Zhi knew that today was doomed, he pushed the disciple who was pinched aside with his left hand, and looked at Wan Chengbin without saying a word.The emotions of the surrounding disciples immediately relaxed, and the disciple who was pinched just now knelt on the ground in shock and coughed violently, with red eye circles.

Wan Chengbin sighed: "Let's go."

Following Wan Chengbin all the way to the main hall, Chi Su who sat in the front seat was dressed in a purple Taoist robe, with a gorgeous appearance, but a little haggard.On the left sat two monks whom he had never seen before. One had a refined temperament, and his appearance was four or five points similar to Li You. He seemed neither happy nor sad, but there was an indelible sadness in his eyes.The other was tall and rough, with a straight back, and when he saw Lan Zhi coming in, he pointed at him and commented: "That's right, this is definitely Lan Xiuchen's son."

Taking a closer look, I saw Bai Fengyang standing behind Li Feng, clenching his teeth, his face was pale, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to overflow.

Lan Zhi was slightly taken aback.Bai Fengyang has been looking for him for a long time but has not been found. Why did he appear now?He couldn't understand the key point for the time being, bowed his head and said: "I don't know why the master asked the disciple to come?"

Chi Su said: "I have seen Cultivator Li of Jingyue Palace and Cultivator Yan, a layman in Xishan."

Lan Zhi saluted Li Feng and Yan Liang, and stood in the middle of the hall, watching them motionless.Several elders are there, and Rong Yunxiang and a dozen or so disciples of the heavenly rank are also waiting not far away. There are four monks of the day rank and three month rank in this hall, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fly with wings today. .

Li Feng said slowly: "I said it to the head just now, so you might as well say it again so that the elders present and Brother Lan can understand the ins and outs."

He pointed to Bai Fengyang next to him: "When my mother went out to relax a few days ago, she saw this monk Bai was seriously injured and lying beside the stream. He was in a miserable state, and she couldn't bear to save him. My mother rarely saw outsiders and didn't know him. This is a disciple of the Demon Cultivator expelled by the Northbound Sect, so he was allowed to recuperate in the bamboo forest in the backyard. This white monk probably didn’t dare to reveal his identity, and only said that he was a casual cultivator nearby, and I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

Lan Zhi listened quietly.The place where Li Feng lives is more than a thousand miles away from the Northbound Sect. Did someone send him there, or did he go there by himself, and Li You's grandmother saved him?

Li Feng's voice was a little hoarse: "The news of Li You and Li You's death came a few days ago, and my mother was devastated. After hearing this, this monk Bai was a little excited, and he revealed his identity to me and explained what happened clearly. Li You In the month before he was killed, most of Brother Bai was in a coma. Not to mention causing trouble, he could hardly save his life. Therefore, I believe that Brother Bai said that he was wronged. According to him, the real The perpetrator is still hiding in the Northward Sect, and this person is none other than Brother Lan Zhilan."

Wan Chengbin frowned and said: "There is no basis for what you say, Bai Fengyang and Lan Zhi have always had a rift, and it is not surprising that they are prejudiced."

Yan Liang took over the words and said: "I am not talented. I spent many years in the western continent in my early years, and I have seen all kinds of demon cultivators. This person has a high level of cultivation and is good at controlling people's souls and minds. You have been investigating for so long. If you can't find it, there is a possibility that someone has been taken away."

Everyone was slightly startled: "Duoshe?"

Yan Liang said: "It's rare to see a house in the northern part of my country, but it's heard from time to time in the western part. People with profound morals can kill people's souls, and then take away people's bodies without anyone noticing. You don't doubt this person in your heart." , Even if there is a flaw, it will be ignored subconsciously, so no matter how you check it, you can’t find it.”

As he said that, he took out a needle that was the length of his finger, and it was shining with silver light: "Cultivator Li is my best friend. I can't just stand by and watch something happen to Li You. The soul can be temporarily separated from the body. At that time, the person's original soul will appear, and it will be clear whether it is a seizing body or a demon cultivator."

Lan Zhi looked at him coldly.

The murderer first sent Bai Fengyang to Li You's home, and then used Qi Muran to kill Li You. When the news reached Li You's home, Bai Fengyang was furious, of course he would not hold back.He believed that Lan Zhi was the one who framed him, and he was convinced that he was full of resentment, so why didn't he sue him in front of Li Feng?

The murderer set up a net, not for Bai Fengyang, not for Jian Qiang, but for Lan Zhi.

Giving Jian Qiang to eat mother and child worms may be because Jian Qiang is too young to find out.The reason why Bai Fengyang practiced the northbound kung fu mixed with magic kung fu is probably because it is not easy to attack Lan Zhi directly.How long has this man been preparing for the day when he nailed Lan Zhi to the death rack?

Lan Zhi's mind was confused for a while, knowing that there were still many details that needed to be considered carefully, but he had no time to think about it.

Elder Song said: "What you two mean is to prick a needle in each of us to see if we are the ones who robbed us?"

Yan Liang said: "Although this needle is easy to use, there is a [-]% chance that the soul will not fuse after leaving the body, and it will take a year and a half to rejoin the body. A living corpse. Therefore, this needle should be used with caution and must not be careless."

Li Feng said slowly: "Cultivator Bai once suspected that a disciple surnamed Jian was practicing magic arts, but Cultivator Lan repeatedly obstructed him several times and refused to let Cultivator Bai investigate him. I found someone to investigate secretly, and found that this disciple surnamed Jian had died a year ago. dead, who is it that joins the Northbound Sect?"

No matter how calm Lan Zhi was, when he heard this sentence, his palms were sweating.This Li Feng's method is really powerful, and he even found out about this matter.

Elder Wan's face darkened slightly: "Who handles the identity check of new disciples when they join the sect?"

Bai Fengyang said: "Senior Brother Lan handled it himself."

Elder Wan stared at Lan Zhi, seemed a little too angry to speak, called Rong Yun and thought: "Immediately find out the family background of the disciple named Jian!"

Li Feng said hoarsely again: "Li You is only in his early twenties this year. He has a quiet personality since he was a child. He respects his teachers and respects his teachings. He is my beloved son. I am naturally quiet. There are only a few dozen people in Jingyue Palace, and I am about the same age as Li You. There are very few of them, and they are also lonely. Back then, he and Su Chu accompanied each other to seek the Tao, and when they left home, they were very reluctant to leave home. But thinking of him worshiping the head of Beixingchi as his teacher, he was very relieved. In the past few years, we have gathered less and left more , I miss him all the time, I only hope that his life will be smooth, but I didn't expect to end up like this. I am so upset, sleepless every night, I hope that the master Chi will give Li You justice."

His voice was not high, with a hint of melancholy, neither deliberate nor agitated, but it was enough to make people feel sad.He was originally a Japanese cultivator, so it's okay to be tough, but he just moved with emotion and understood it with reason.The people present were touched by his paternal love and felt ashamed, and there was a moment of silence in the hall.

Su Chu stood aside in a daze, looking down at the ground.

Elder Song said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Lan Zhi has made great contributions to the north travel for many years. Since the soul splitting needle can turn people into living corpses, it would be a great injustice to wrong him. If you really want to use this needle, you have to have some experience." Direct evidence is better."

Elder Wan also said: "We are heartbroken about what happened to Li You. But the soul splitting needle has a half chance of making people lie in bed for a year or so, or never recover. If a big mistake happens, how can we tell Lan Xiu Dust to confess?"

Yan Liang interjected: "There are very few cases where people are truly inseparable. Now I have only heard of it two or three times. Ninety-nine percent of them will not kill people. If Brother Lan is willing to take the risk of testing the needle, he will clear the suspicion , which is a good thing.”

Li Feng looked at Lan Zhi and said, "To prove his innocence, would Brother Lan be willing to test the needle?"

At last he was cornered.The net that was set up was to make Lan Zhi have nowhere to hide in front of everyone.

He can't test the needle even if he dies naturally.As soon as the soul came out, the crime of seizing the house was confirmed. How can there be a way out?

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Lan Zhi in silence.Lan Zhi was also miserable, and said word by word: "Master Mingjian, the disciple has no magic cultivation, and he did not harm the disciples in the sect. This fact is framed by someone. Besides, what can happen after the needle test? Can the suspicion on the disciple be cleared away?" Clear? This needle has a half chance of causing the disciple to be unconscious for a year or so, if someone intends to harm me, the disciple's life will be in danger. Master, please uphold justice for the disciple."

Now all his hopes were pinned on Chi Su.Although Chi Su was narrow-minded, he was extremely defensive. If something happened to one of his disciples, he would never let outsiders intervene to solve it. He probably wouldn't force Lan Zhi to test the needle.

As long as the needle is not tested, this person will never have direct evidence.

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense, and everyone was a little out of breath. After a long time, Chi Su said slowly: "Tie up Lan Zhi and try the needle."

Lan Zhi's heart stopped suddenly.

what?

Elder Song frowned and said: "Master, there is no direct evidence now, if you force Lan Zhi to test the needle, wouldn't it be a bit..."

Lan Zhi was furious in his heart, and looked up at Chi Su who was sitting in the front seat.Just relying on Li Feng, an outsider's words, to force him to try the needle without even the slightest hesitation, what's going on with Chi Su?

Chi Su's tone contained anxiety and anger that could not be expressed, his eyes pierced Lan Zhi's body like a sharp sword: "Tie him up and test the needle."

Judging by Chi Su's attitude and expression, he is clearly doubting Lan Zhi's identity, why?What went wrong?

Elder Wan was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Lan Zhi, sit down and test the needle, if you are innocent, are you still afraid of being pricked by this needle?"

Rong Yun thought he couldn't help it at this time, and whispered: "Senior brother Lan, you should try the needle now, so that you can stop everyone's mouths."

Lan Zhi looked around motionlessly.Bai Fengyang, Li Feng and Yan Liang were aggressive, and Chi Su agreed without any hindrance. Everyone persuaded him to try the needle. If the people behind the scenes were standing in this hall, they would probably laugh with joy.

Suddenly, he concentrated and closed his breath, and threw something fiercely on the ground with his right hand, only to hear a deafening bang, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the great hall was filled with heat, making people unable to open their eyes for a while.

Hearing a few dull cries of pain, a blue light flew out of the hall obliquely. Everyone covered their heads in a daze, but saw a big pit two feet wide and three feet deep blown out on the bluestone floor of the hall. , It was burning hot.Bai Fengyang, Rong Yunxiang and a few disciples of the heavenly rank accidentally fell down, covered their buttocks, jumped to their feet and shouted: "It's hot! It's hot to death!"

Elder Wan looked around dumbfounded, and said angrily, "Where is Lan Zhi! Why is it missing?"

Elder Song was also a little anxious: "Hurry up and chase after him!"

The cloud blade in Li Feng's right hand was covered with blood, and he patted the dust on his clothes and hair: "I stabbed him with a sword, I think he can't run very far now, don't worry."

I saw an apricot-colored figure rushing out from the door, Bai Fengyang rushed to catch up: "Su Chu, give me Lan Zhi, don't kill him!"

Chi Su stood up slowly, as if he was in a very heavy heart: "Catch Lan Zhi back to test the needle, if he dares to hurt someone again, he will be killed."

The bright red blood dripped, leaving a long string on the clean snow, dyed into a red pit.

Li Feng's cloud blade is really powerful, even if he swallowed the elixir, he could not bleed, Lan Zhi tore off his clothes and wrapped them around his chest for a few times, finally temporarily compressing the wound.He didn't know exactly where he was now, the first time Li Feng's cloud blade pierced his chest didn't hurt too much, but the faster he flew, the more unbearable he was, so he had to stop in the mountain stream and walk slowly.

If he hadn't bought an Immortal Rank Poyun Pill from the jade tablet in advance, he would have been unable to escape from those people even if he tried his best. Now this life can be regarded as recovered.

I just don't know if I can escape this catastrophe?

There are several hidden places in the northbound mountains, no one knows except himself, so he can only go there to hide temporarily.Look at the location, here is the southeast of the northbound, there should be a ruin along this direction.

All of a sudden, there was a gust of wind behind him, and spiritual energy surged.Lan Zhi hurriedly turned around, only to see Su Chu dressed in apricot-colored clothes, with blood-red eyes and thin lips covered with frost, attacking him with a soft sword of apricot blossoms in his hand.Lan Zhi held Heng Yang in his hand, and tapped lightly on his soft sword.

The soft sword rattled, and Su Chu couldn't help but let go of the pain, and jumped back three steps.There were bursts of severe pain in Lan Zhi's chest, and he said coldly: "Even if I am injured, you are not my opponent, so don't take your life in vain."

Su Chu didn't answer, and suddenly turned around and rushed towards Heng Yang in his hand. Unexpectedly, Lan Zhi resorted to the trick of killing each other, and quickly leaned over and slapped Heng Yang back.Su Chu was also startled, and hastily withdrew the soft sword, but it was already too late.

Lan Zhi's left waist suddenly felt a pain, and when he looked down, the Xinghua soft sword had already passed through and sank into the handle.

Su Chu said coldly: "Why didn't you kill me?"

Lan Zhi's forehead was sweating, and he tried his best to calm down: "I didn't kill Li You."

Su Chu looked at him with blood-red eyes, and asked hoarsely: "I just want to ask you one thing. During that search, Li You and I inspected the disciple's courtyard, and you stood beside Junior Brother Jian for a long time. Let me ask you, did you take off the interspatial ring on his finger? Is he a magician?"

Lan Zhi closed his eyes. At this moment, he really didn't want to lie to him again, and said, "Yes, he is indeed a magician. To protect him, I took off the interspatial ring from his hand."

Su Chu's hand holding the sword trembled: "I felt something was wrong at the time, so I told Li You. Li You said, you will never do something that endangers my faction, and there must be deep meaning in doing so, so let me keep quiet. We all How can you treat him like this when you trust you so much?"

Lan Zhi was so sore in his heart that he was speechless, but insisted: "I didn't kill him, I didn't kill Wu Fei, I didn't kill Fan Qing."

"Since you didn't kill them, why didn't you dare to test the needle!"

Lan Zhi adjusted his breathing secretly, and said, "Pull out the sword, and I'll follow you back to test the needle."

There was some disbelief in Su Chu's eyes, and he slowly pulled out the soft sword: "Brother Lan, don't lie to me again, I—"

Before the words were finished, Lan Zhi suddenly jumped up and jumped into the cliff a few meters away with all his strength, and his figure disappeared into the bottomless abyss immediately.In a hurry, Su Chu shouted angrily on the cliff: "Lan Zhi, you liar!"

Liars are liars, life is the most important thing.

With a plop, he fell into the rushing water, and all the voices were indistinct. Lan Zhi knew that he had reached the end of the road. Fortunately, he had learned the technique of sustaining qi in "Seven Directions of Reincarnation" a few days ago, so he immediately gathered his breath and raised his qi. prolong life.He slowly closed his eyes, allowing his body to sink in the rushing torrent.

His body was as cold as death, and his limbs felt nothing. After an unknown period of time, Lan Zhi was in a daze, and a sobbing sound came from his ear.
