Volume 2 Whose Era Chapter 89: Clear Arrangements
Qingjian Peak, originally the place for inheritance trials, is now shrouded in the night, solemn and silent.
A light cloud rose from the square and spread to the stone steps.
More than ten hours ago, all the disciples here were watching the inheritance trial enthusiastically, but now there is only a deserted scene.
Only the two ancient stone doors were left, emitting a heavy and cold atmosphere.
In the clouds, a figure walked slowly, cold and lonely, like a fairy.
It's Qingshuang.
Her face was cold and she slowly walked up the stone steps.
For some reason, while watching Jiang Yu die in broad daylight, her mind kept recalling the abnormal scene of Jun Hou in the square.
This person would never say a word to her on a normal day.
On the steps, she recalled Jun Hou's actions during the day, and her steps unconsciously walked to the place where he had stood at the time.
The bluestone floor was smooth, with traces of moss that had penetrated deep into the stone surface, and there was nothing unusual about it.
She slowly squatted down and stroked gently with her frosty jade hands.
On the hard and thick square bricks, seven insignificant dots appeared in the divine consciousness.
There is no way such traces could be hidden from the perception of a master like Qingshuang.
Bang!
With her true strength moving, she lightly tapped the bluestone with her palm.
Suddenly, seven cold needles popped out, covered with blood-colored runes, and floated in the air.
"This is……"
"Soul-locking needle?"
Qingshuang's heart trembled, and she took the seven thin needles in her hand and looked at them carefully.
She knew very well that this Soul-Locking Needle was a magical tool used in ancient sealing techniques. It was extremely rare and poisonous. There were ancient immortal formations engraved on the needle body. When inserted into a human body, it could freeze the body's true energy.
But what really made her feel cold was...
This soul-locking needle can, under certain circumstances, freeze the space and render the teleportation array ineffective, naturally including the escape talisman.
Recalling the prince's actions during the day, Qingshuang's cold face suddenly became uncertain .
"Does he really have the guts to murder a disciple?"
This shocking guess made her lose consciousness for a moment.
At this moment, she felt a pain in the palm of her hand. The seven soul locks in her hand seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, piercing her palm and flying to the side uncontrollably.
A sharp and evil aura penetrated through his wound and instantly spread over half of his body, causing his whole body's true energy to suddenly freeze.
Qingshuang was startled and looked to the side for some reason.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
There was a hint of pride in the clear voice, just like a couple waiting for the other to arrive.
"Lord?"
Looking at the figure who had stood beside her at some point, Qingshuang felt that her voice was trembling slightly .
In the clouds and mist, Jun Hou stood tall and handsome, with a kind smile on his face. He spread his palms, and seven soul-locking needles were already jumping and dancing in his palms.
"You actually practiced evil techniques and attacked your fellow disciples? Aren't you afraid of the sect's punishment?"
Even though all the energy in her body was locked, Qingshuang's face remained calm, just a little pale.
"Punishment?"
Jun Hou sneered, if you die, who will punish me?
“You dare!”
Qingshuang snorted coldly.
"The core disciple Qingshuang was humiliated by Jiang Yu in front of the Wordless Jade Disk. She went back to Jianfeng to seek justice but failed. This is known to everyone. She was extremely resentful, so she used evil magic to plot against Jiang Yu, making his escape talisman ineffective and eventually dying in the inheritance space."
"Finally, when he was trying to retrieve the Soul Locking Needle, his good and evil techniques conflicted with each other, and he became possessed and died on the spot."
"In such a short time, I have arranged all the causes and consequences for you. Do you think I dare to do it?"
Jun Hou had a gentle smile on his face, but spoke words more poisonous than snakes and scorpions, and walked forward step by step.
Qingshuang's face turned very ugly and she took a step back unconsciously.
choke!
With a push of her finger, the sky-blue sword was about to be unsheathed, but she saw a figure flash before her eyes, and a surge of true energy rolled over, causing her arm to hurt, and the sword came out and retracted.
When he looked again, Jun Hou had already approached him, only half a step away, his eyes fixed on him.
suck.
He took a deep breath, his face showing an intoxicated look.
She is as beautiful as peach and plum, and as elegant as orchid. She is truly the fairy in the hearts of all the disciples in the sect.
"But I never thought that someone like you would come here in the middle of the night to investigate the cause of Jiang Yu's death."
"If we don't investigate, how can we find out that you, a core disciple who is respected on the surface, are actually a despicable and cunning person who is jealous of others' talents and practices evil techniques?"
Qingshuang didn't give in at all and said sarcastically.
Unexpectedly, Jun Hou was not angry. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his face, and his tone changed drastically, becoming inexplicably vicious and crazy.
"You're provoking me,"
"Naughty."
"You want to die early..."
"But have you ever thought about what I would do if you died in such a long night?" Jun Hou's face gradually became distorted, and the gentle smile had already been torn to pieces in the madness.
With a low laugh, he suddenly crushed a black ball in his hand.
In an instant, a dark energy enveloped the area like a curtain.
"Dark Sky!"
You actually still have this kind of thing from the Evil Shadow Sect. Qingshuang stared at Jun Hou intently.
The Dark Sky Curtain is a secret magic weapon made by the notorious assassination sect Evil Shadow Sect. It can shield a limited range of space for a short period of time. Even if the earth is shaking inside the space, it will appear normal to outsiders. It is an essential magic weapon used by the Evil Shadow Sect practitioners to kill their targets silently.
It is rumored that the leader of the Evil Shadow Sect once personally assassinated a great righteous cultivator, and the battle between the two sides caused a huge city to sink deep into the earth. However, witnesses said that before the dark sky was lifted, the city still stood peacefully and remained the same.
"Surprised?"
"There will be more surprises later, hahaha."
The laughter grew louder and louder. If the prince had restrained himself just now because he was worried about being discovered by a powerful person, now under the influence of the dark sky, he had gone completely crazy.
"I'm a man, how can I not be tempted by a woman like you?"
The more Junhou spoke, the more excited he became.
Looking at Qingshuang, who appeared to be strong but was actually weak, there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes. His hand slowly stroked Qingshuang's waist.
Like a slithering poisonous snake.
Just at this moment, a sense of disharmony suddenly intervened.
The prince was slightly stunned.
At this moment, what he did was absolutely shameful, so even within the range of the dark sky, he still spread his powerful spiritual consciousness.
He looked around warily, and finally, his gaze fixed on the huge stone door in front of him.
There was silence all around, no more sound was heard.
Just when Junhou thought he had heard wrongly, a heavy friction sound was heard.
He looked in disbelief as the huge stone door so close to him slowly opened.
"How is this possible?"
This stone gate can only be opened with special methods by at least one of the three great cultivators of the Qiankun Sword Sect.
A man walked out from the pitch-black space. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt and carrying a huge black iron sword on his back.
"Jiang Yu!"
Jun Hou's pupils suddenly shrank.
Qingshuang was also stunned. From the moment Jiang Yu entered the inheritance space until everyone dispersed eight hours later, he stayed here and watched without leaving.
However, it is more than ten hours away from the start of the core trial?
Could it be that Jiang Yu has been in the inheritance space all this time?
"It's so late?"
As if he couldn't sense the two people's equally surprised looks, Wang Chen frowned and looked at them for a long while.
