Chapter 431

I don't know why it was quiet for so long, but in any case, when it was noon, the Shaolong Sword Path Gold Book was finally completed.

The gold list flew down from the Jade Sword Pavilion, and the list of the final seventy-two people was arranged on it one by one.

The first was Xiang Zongyuan.

That young hero Seeing Pei Ye was still like a legend in the end. He did not go down to the sword platform to compete. It is said that he defeated everyone in the Jade Sword Pavilion, but gave up the first place himself and left floating away.

Replacing his position was a five-life girl from Bowang. It is said that she also took the sword letter before, but I don't know why she refused. The compilation meeting finally decided on the thirty-third position for her, which also caused quite a range of talk.

What was somewhat strange was that everyone in the Jade Sword Pavilion did not walk down the Jade Sword Platform until the evening of the next day, and no news came out during that time.

They left here in batches and low-key from different paths. The onlookers almost didn't see a few people. Only famous faces like Xiang, Cui, and Qi were captured for a few glances, but every one of them had a silent and taciturn expression, and soon got on the carriage and left.

Su Xingke should have been more likely to say something, but this youth who took the third place as soon as he debuted was not like the day before when he defeated Chi Longyun. Facing the cheering crowd, he was almost stunned and lost his soul. Qi Mengchen pulled him, and then he boarded the carriage with his senior brothers and sisters.

The celebration was of course pushed forward as scheduled. The finally settled Sword Path Gold Book began to be transmitted to the fifty states. And in some places that were not very noticed, thousands of feather books were being quickly recovered and destroyed. The news about "Seeing Pei Ye" was desperately blocked in the Shaolong Fucheng and erased from the mouths of countless people.

The entire Prefecture Office and Immortal Platform continued with an extremely depressed atmosphere.

Many middle and lower-level officials did not know what had happened, but there was definitely a heavy dark cloud hanging high. For several days, people in some key places all kept silent.

"He didn't give anyone time to react—mainly he didn't give Master Sui time to react." Zhang Xiaozhu and the man in the Confucian crown walked side by side on the back street of the Immortal Platform. The two had just returned from the Prefecture Office, and Zhang Xiaozhu was holding a scroll of official documents in his hand.

"Didn't say a word?"

"Didn't say a word." Zhang Xiaozhu emphasized, "If he had said a word, Master Sui would have had a hundred ways to avoid his eyes."

"Then they couldn't fight."

"Then they couldn't fight."

"... How many years has it been since I've seen such a resolute person—how old?"

"Seventeen."

"Damn, heroes come from youth—are you sure it's heart sword?"

"Otherwise, how could Master Sui be defeated in the Mind-Spirit Realm."

The morning mist was heavy, the buildings of the Immortal Platform were submerged in the mist, and there were no human voices or figures in the alley.

There were only the footsteps of the two.

"Is the letter from Inspector Wuhe true or false?"

"It is indeed his handwriting."

"... Do you think it's true?"

"..." Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment, "If Master Sui is still alive, then it is not true."

"You mean the Prefecture Office won't admit it?"

"We can't find evidence either."

"... Yes."

"So Inspector Wuhe wants to get the evidence first—" The man's words stopped, and he looked ahead.

They had arrived at the back door of the Immortal Platform. Behind the hazy mist, that cyan-clothed figure was already standing here again.

"... Li Li Zhangmen Li."

"Master Zhang."

The girl's clothes and boots were clean, her beautiful face was slightly pale, but her hair was neat, and her expression was calm: "The conversation record between Inspector Wuhe and Seeing Pei Ye before they separated in Bowang has been sent."

She handed a carefully wrapped large letter to Zhang Xiaozhu: "Please check it carefully. Seeing Pei Ye went to Kongdong as an agent for Inspector Wuhe. Now that Inspector Wuhe is dead, he completed this entrustment by holding the legacy letter and the Jade Tiger—Seeing Pei Ye was doing the errand for the Immortal Platform. This is definitely not a lynching!"

The girl looked at the tall man before her seriously. She pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes revealed a kind of compelling tenacity.

Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment, reached out and took it.

It had been four days, and he had seen this cyan skirt I don't know how many times.

Since that day, she had been running around in this city. Zhang Xiaozhu suspected that she hadn't even closed her eyes. It is said that people from Heavenly Mountain had arrived at the Fucheng yesterday, Kongdong was also contacting, and she even sent news to Cloud Lang Mountain.

The direction of her efforts was very correct, and her behavior was also very precise and appropriate—the only thing she insisted on proving for four days was that Seeing Pei Ye was a continuation of the No-Cave Plan, not a self-impulsive lynching.

But in fact, they all knew that the youth was neither. There was no instruction from No-Cave, and it had nothing to do with impulse. He made this decision calmly and peacefully—too precise and too clear, just to complete the assassination of the new governor so unexpectedly.

Zhang Xiaozhu flipped through it twice without opening it, raised his eyes and said softly: "Li Li Zhangmen Li, there were more than two hundred people in the Jade Sword Pavilion that day... and most of them were sects."

"... Master Zhang, Seeing Pei Ye was hung with your Yan Inspector." Li Piaoqing looked at him and pursed her lips.

Of course, Seeing Pei Ye hadn't been hung yet, but Zhang Xiaozhu understood the girl's meaning—he could have been hung in Bowang, and she would definitely be able to make Bowang produce enough powerful proof.

"No one will believe that the Immortal Platform would do this, Li Li Zhangmen Li." Zhang Xiaozhu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "—that was the Shaolong Sword Selection Conference."

"..." The girl's face seemed to turn whiter. She pursed a smile and was about to turn around again, but was called by the man:

"Li Li Zhangmen Li, you can go see him today."

Li Piaoqing turned her head, stunned for a moment: "What... you said I can... see who?"

"Seeing Pei Ye." Zhang Xiaozhu said, "You can visit him for half a quarter of an hour today."

"..." The girl pursed her lips tightly. The repression under her face was I don't know if it was excitement or panic, but her voice was still trying to be stable, "... Thank you, Master Zhang."

The youth was imprisoned in the deepest part of the Immortal Platform.

Crossing layers of mystic formations and mechanisms, there was no sound in the deep underground, and there was no light, dark and silent.

After walking for I don't know how long, Zhang Xiaozhu in front stopped: "You cannot communicate—of course, he also has no consciousness."

Li Piaoqing stopped. There was only this one prison in the whole space. The mystic Qi released a faint light. Across layers of heavy imprisonment, she finally saw the figure locked to the wall.

Behind it was a pure stone wall. Hundreds of steel buckles imprisoned every inch of his body. The youth was barefoot and disheveled, wearing only a single garment, already soaked through with old blood. He hung his head and did not move, and his whole body was limp, like a corpse.

A pure black flame burned on his abdomen.

Li Piaoqing's throat choked suddenly. She had subconsciously grabbed Zhang Xiaozhu's sleeve, looked up at him, and couldn't speak for a while.

"The injury from the Jade Sword Pavilion that day." Zhang Xiaozhu answered, "You know, he killed Master Sui with a heart sword. None of the Mystic Gate present dared to hold back."

"But in fact, he didn't resist, and at that time his mind and spirit were also crumbling." Zhang Xiaozhu continued, "After we took over, we sealed him, from body to mind. Now he is indeed no different from a dead person."

The man's voice fell, and the surroundings were completely silent again. Li Piaoqing looked at the figure on the stone wall in the distance quietly, and spent half a quarter of an hour like this without moving.

After a long time, she bit her lip and whispered: "... You are really annoying."

However, the youth still did not respond like a corpse. Zhang Xiaozhu waved his hand to extinguish the light: "Time is up."

"..." Li Piaoqing moved her throat, turned around and followed the man away, leaving this youth in the deep, silent, and uninhabited darkness again.

The two walked through the long stone steps quietly, returned to the autumn mist of the early morning again, crossed the gate courtyard and walked out. Li Piaoqing finally whispered hoarsely: "... Master Zhang."

"Hmm?"

"Will you... execute him?" She stopped her steps and looked at the man.

Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment, but did not answer.

He turned around and continued to walk out.

Li Piaoqing lowered her eyes and followed.

Walking out of the Immortal Platform quietly like this, the morning mist faded a little, and Zhang Xiaozhu stopped his steps.

"Li Li Zhangmen Li, Inspector Wuhe was also my senior."

"..."

"I know how much effort you have put in these days, but I have never been able to give you an answer." The man's voice was low, "This matter has too much influence and the nature is too sensitive—according to the trend of the discussion, Seeing Pei Ye may indeed be executed."

The girl's body stiffened visibly.

"But I just participated in the morning discussion at the Prefecture Office, and I can no longer answer this question for you." Zhang Xiaozhu looked at her, "You have always wanted to visit him. I took you to see him today. This is my authority."

Li Piaoqing was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Because we received this official document this morning, and all discussions at the Prefecture Office have been suspended." Zhang Xiaozhu handed the rolled document in his hand to her, "After the case was reported, it was expedited from the Divine Capital."

Li Piaoqing was slightly stunned, took it, and unfolded it. It was a line of simple and powerful handwriting.

"Escort Seeing Pei Ye immediately, and transfer this case to the Divine Capital for handling."

Below were two square red seals, one large and one small. One said "Illuminating World Immortal Platform"; the other said "Seal of Zhang Siche, Vice Minister of the Immortal Platform."
