Chapter 182: Finding the Truth
Boom! Suddenly, the entire dungeon was filled with violent fluctuations of spiritual energy. The shackles that restricted the spiritual energy around it made buzzing sounds, as if they were about to break.
Chen Li turned to look at Zheng Changqing, his eyes full of murderous intent, "Elder Zheng, are you going to give me an explanation, or are you going to die here to make amends?"
This girl Yin Yuehan did go too far, but under the current circumstances, it is a bit too much.
Since Yin Yuehan followed me, I have to take good care of her.
Now her injuries are so severe that she cannot recover. This kind of method is not something that an ordinary person can do.
When Zheng Changqing saw this scene, he was very shocked, because he never thought that Yin Yuehan would be like this.
"There is definitely some misunderstanding here. Do you think that as an elder of a sect, I would torture a disciple like this because of these things?" Zheng Changqing explained to Chen Li.
Although Lin Jian was his last disciple, he had many disciples under him. Besides, that kid was not his direct disciple, so if he was useless, then so be it. At most, he just wanted to seek justice with Chen Li.
But Yin Yuehan was different. That girl was Chen Li’s only disciple, so he just locked her up in the dungeon and did not take any action.
Seeing Yin Yuehan like this now really surprised him. He didn't know what had happened.
The spiritual pressure around Chen Li was getting stronger and stronger. Even Zheng Changqing couldn't bear it and his breathing became heavy.
"Misunderstanding? Do you think that even the Soul-Soothing Nail was used, it could be a misunderstanding?" Chen Li said coldly.
He grabbed with his right hand, and a nail that hit Yin Yuehan's body suddenly turned into a stream of light and flew into Chen Li's hand.
It was a pitch-black nail that exuded an ominous aura, and the spiritual energy around it was slowly being absorbed.
Zheng Changqing took a deep breath, thinking that something really was going to happen this time. Even the Soul-Suppressing Nail was being used.
"Elder Chen, you have to understand one thing. Since I dared to bring you here, I must have been unaware of it. Do you think I would bring you to a place like this knowingly?"
Zheng Changqing is not a fool. If he had known in advance, he would have cured Yin Yuehan and brought her here.
Damn it , who on earth did this? They almost framed him.
Chen Li snorted coldly and said nothing. He just walked slowly towards Yin Yuehan.
Looking at Yin Yuehan who was breathing weakly, Chen Li just waved his hand lightly, and all the shackles opened.
He carried Yin Yuehan on his back and said calmly, "Elder Zheng, I hope you don't know about this matter. If I find any evidence later, I will really kill someone."
After saying this, he slowly left here without leaving anything behind.
Zheng Changqing was breathing heavily. In his current situation, he dared not ask for compensation. It was good enough that he didn't lose his life.
Lin Jian's cultivation was abolished, but at least he could still practice again. Yin Yuehan's situation was no ordinary trouble.
That girl was hit by a soul-soothing nail. If the nail had been driven into her body the moment she entered the dungeon, then all her cultivation would probably have been devoured.
And this is still a very minor consequence. What is more terrifying is that if the soul-soothing nail is driven into the body for half a month, her soul will be absorbed and she will never be able to reincarnate again.
This is no joke. The Soul-Suppressing Nail is such a vicious thing that even someone like them who has reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation cannot control it.
" Damn it, I almost got into trouble. What on earth happened?" Zheng Changqing clenched his fists tightly, looking very angry.
As for Chen Li, he had already brought Yin Yuehan out of the dungeon. There was no one outside the dungeon, and no one knew where Lin Jian had gone.
He didn't care about these. The most important thing to do now was to recover Yin Yuehan's injuries first and then wake her up.
Only in this way can we know what really happened.
After a stick of incense, in Lingyun Peak, Chen Li injected spiritual energy into Yin Yuehan's body and began to guide the repair.
Chen Li took a deep breath. He could feel that Yin Yuehan's meridians were very fragile. If he increased his spiritual energy, it would definitely be torn apart by his own spiritual energy.
Gradually, spiritual energy surrounded Yin Yuehan, repairing his injuries bit by bit, and the spiritual energy in his body that was sucked away by the Soul-Suppressing Nail was also slowly recovering.
After doing all this, he took Yin Yuehan to the room and let her have a good rest.
Next, he must conduct a thorough investigation to find out who dared to do such a thing.
The first person that came to his mind was Lin Jian, the apprentice of Zheng Changqing.
Seeing that he was hesitant , I think he knew something, or maybe he was the one who did it.
No matter what the reason is, Chen Li has to investigate it.
His spiritual awareness continued to expand, spreading to the entire inner gate.
Almost all the elders felt this spiritual energy and were very surprised.
"This spiritual consciousness looks like it belongs to Chen Li. I wonder what happened to that girl." Xiao Yuan stood on the top of Guyun Peak, muttering to himself.
Although he didn't know what Chen Li was planning to do, he was his disciple, and as long as he didn't betray the sect, he had to help him.
As for Liu Wan, she was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Chen Li's spiritual awareness was so terrifying that it could spread to the entire inner gate in such a short time.
She looked at a mountain in the distance and asked, "Could it be that Chen Li is spreading his spiritual awareness because of Yin Yuehan's matter?"
Liu Wan didn't know why she did this, but there must be a reason.
On Chen Li's side, he quickly realized where Lin Jian was, and there were a few people around him.
These people were wearing black robes, and for some reason, there was something wrong with their aura.
Now that we have found it, we have to go and take a look, or ask about it.
On Lin Jian's side, everyone was very panicked. He never expected that Chen Li would come back so soon.
"I'm telling you guys, didn't I tell you before that you must not let anyone see any traces? Why are you doing this?" Lin Jian looked at them and asked anxiously.
Chen Li's strength is extremely terrifying. Although he is a newly promoted elder, he is not someone that an inner disciple like him can deal with.
In addition, since he had lost all his cultivation, there was no way his master would help him.
If Chen Li found out that they did it, all of them would die here.
A man in black laughed, "After all, she is just a woman. You can rest assured that this matter will never be known."
"We have driven a soul-soothing nail into that woman's body. There is no way she will wake up." Another man in black had a thick smile on his face. He was not afraid of being found out at all.
Just as they finished speaking, a figure stood behind them and said, "Oh, it turns out that the soul-suppressing nails on my apprentice were planted by you."
This sentence made several people turn around quickly and they were shocked to find that Chen Li was already standing here.
They were very surprised. They didn't expect Chen Li to appear in this place. He was so close to them, but they didn't even notice him.
A man in black had a dagger in his hand, and it was obvious that he was planning to attack Chen Li.
Chen Li stared at the three people in front of him, his expression gradually becoming indifferent, "Demon Clan, you actually dared to invade my Nanli Sect, it seems that you don't want to live anymore."
Just now, he felt a familiar aura from these people. It was the demonic energy he had felt in the demon world before.
Even if they have hidden very well, with Chen Li's perception, he can detect them quickly.
The two were very surprised to hear what Chen Li said. They didn't expect that this guy already knew their identities.
"Since you already know our identities, please die here." A man in black suddenly rushed towards Chen Li and attacked without hesitation.
Unfortunately, before he could get close to Chen Li, he was overwhelmed by a powerful pressure and immediately knelt on the ground without making any move.
The same went for the other two people. With their abilities, they had no way of resisting Chen Li.
It is simply ridiculous for a mere late Foundation Establishment cultivator to want to deal with Chen Li, who is in the late Golden Core stage.
Lin Jian knelt on the ground and trembled as he shouted, "Elder Chen, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Chen Li had just heard their conversation and obviously knew that they were the ones who did it.
Chen Li frowned and turned to look at Lin Jian who was not far away. "So what if you know you are wrong? Do you think I will let you go so easily?"
Since he made Yin Yuehan endure such intense pain, it would be too easy for him if he died easily.
Lin Jian didn't know why, but when he heard Chen Li say this, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Chen Li stared at the people in front of him, and his spiritual energy instantly turned into chains, binding them all.
"Next, you just wait for my interrogation." Chen Li said, and suddenly pulled them away.
One stick of incense later, in Lingyun Peak, Chen Li was sitting in the yard, with two men in black and Lin Jian kneeling in front of him.
He left Lin Jian aside first, then turned to stare at one of the men in black and asked, "How many people do you have hidden in Nanli Sect?"
"Haha, even if you kill me, I can't tell you..."
With a "puff", a flash of sword light appeared, and the man in black fell to the ground before he could finish his words.
The bright red blood continued to flow out, staining the floor red.
Chen Li didn't care about these at all. Instead, he looked at the other man in black and said, "Now that he is dead, you can't die so easily, so I will torture you until you tell me everything."
It was an extremely terrifying aura that made the man in black's face turn extremely pale.
Although as a demon, he had seen many strong men, but this was the first time he had seen a strong man like Chen Li.
Moreover, this guy's cultivation level is really beyond what I can deal with.
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" The man in black stared at Chen Li and asked.
Chen Li replied calmly: "So, how many people have you, the demon clan, placed in Nanli Sect?"
"There are a total of twenty in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and two in the early Golden Core stage. As for where they are, I don't know." The man in black looked at Chen Li and answered truthfully.
It can be seen that he was not lying but was serious, because under the pressure of the strong, he did not dare to lie at all.
Chen Li touched his chin and asked, "Is this all you know?"
"I'm just a lowly demon, and knowing all this is already a lot. Now I have told you everything I know. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise and let me go?" The man in black looked at Chen Li and asked.
Chen Li laughed, "When did I say I would let you go?"
From beginning to end, he never said that he would let the other party go. This was just the black-clad man's own imagination.
The man in black widened his eyes and looked shocked. He never expected that Chen Li would do such a thing.
Chen Li snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and a flash of sword light instantly cut off the opponent's head.
Then he turned to look at Lin Jian and said grimly, "It's your turn next."
