Chapter 87: The Night Trial of Luo Kedi in the Ancestral Hall, the Identity Card Reveals the Situation of Confusion [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

It is now midnight.

The lights in the ancestral hall were bright. Luo Ke Di had already sobered up. He was pushed by the guards and knelt down in the hall with a dazed look on his face.

The three of them stood behind him. Except for Bai Jue who looked calm, Tang Hao and Jiang Shenyin both had frowns on their faces.

Tang Hao was indeed a little bit afraid of chaos in the world before, but now this kind of thing happened and the blame fell on Lao Luo, which made him a little difficult to bear.

"I only know that Sheng Yan is in trouble, but the details are still unclear. I can only wait and see how things develop."

After a while, several people came out from the inner hall.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a face similar to Sheng Yan and Sheng Qi.

Next to him was a young man with very distinct features, about two meters two or three meters tall.

"It's Shan Xing, the third son of the Shan Lei clan. His physique is ridiculously strong." Tang Hao had seen him from afar when he was escorting the bride during the day and knew his identity.

The middle-aged man came in, glanced at the kneeling Luo Ke Di, and snorted coldly.

Then he looked at Bai Jue and bowed respectfully, saying, "I am Sheng Xiong of the Sheng family, and I am honored to be the patriarch of the Cangyun clan. Your Excellency, I am here to apprehend the clan's rebels. I beg your forgiveness for disturbing them so late at night."

"I am Shanxing from the Shanlei clan, nice to meet you, Master." In comparison, Shanxing was much more casual.

His confidence obviously came from the old man behind him, who had an old face and a hunched body, but his aura was as deep as the sea.

"Yeah." Bai Jue nodded slightly and looked at the old man.

The old man smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "I am Shan Kui, the protector of the Third Young Master. I am honored to meet you, fellow Taoist."

"Bai Jue, a casual cultivator." Bai Jue also bowed, but his answer was very brief. After that, he looked at Tang Hao and said, "You handle it, I'm here."

Casual cultivator?

When everyone present heard this, many of their eyelids twitched.

It’s not that they look down on independent cultivators, but compared to the Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, independent cultivators are more unscrupulous and act according to their own preferences.

With such a high level of cultivation, yet being alone, even if he encounters a powerful force, he would not easily want to provoke the other party.

They originally thought that Bai Jue was also a member of the Qinghua Sect, and they thought that as long as they treated him with courtesy, the matter of Luo Ke Di could be handled according to the rules and there should be no problem.

Now I’m afraid there’s no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.

After hearing the following words, everyone looked at Tang Hao. It was obvious that the other party fully supported this disciple of the Qinghua Sect. Whether or not to intervene and how to intervene depended on his attitude.

Tang Hao nodded to Bai Jue, then turned to Sheng Xiong and asked, "Patriarch Sheng, how is Miss Sheng Yan doing now?"

"Yan'er's bloodline was forcibly extracted. If it weren't for my clan's secret formation, she would have died." Sheng Xiong's face turned ashen when he talked about his daughter.

Although he had broken up the couple in order to form an alliance with the Shanlei clan, he was still very concerned about his daughter's life.

Ever since Shan Xing came in here, he had been looking at Luo Ke Di with scrutiny. Now he finally raised his eyes slightly and looked down at Tang Hao.

He said calmly, "When I finished my chores and returned to my room, Yan'er had already collapsed in a pool of blood, barely breathing. The maid who accompanied her was killed on the spot."

"Uh, Zizhu?" Tang Hao's expression changed, and the loyal girl who protected her master in Yunxiang Tower flashed through his mind.

Seeing the two nod, he sighed, thought for a moment, then turned to Bai Jue and asked, "Sister Jue, forcibly drawing blood, is this a method of blood cultivation?"

"Yes." Bai Jue first affirmed, and then said: "However, the [Blood Cult] acts too cruelly and is often besieged by various forces of all sizes, but some low-level skills are widely circulated." "The master is right, Yan'er only knows some crude body refining methods, and some late-stage Qi refining cultivators who master blood cultivation methods can easily subdue her." Sheng Xiong said, looking at the kneeling Luo Ke Di with a cold look.

Seeing this, Tang Hao couldn't help but frown and said, "Then why did Patriarch Sheng assume that my senior brother was responsible? He was in a bad mood today. The two of us have been drinking the whole time, and my senior brother has never left the Luo family."

"Fellow Daoist Tang, right?" Shan Xing snorted softly, "You two are fellow apprentices. Are you trying to shield someone?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and looked down at her with an oppressive gaze.

"I heard from someone that when the elders brought him here, Luo Kedi had already gone to bed. This means you two had already separated. How can you be sure that he didn't sneak out of the house?"

As he spoke, the spiritual pressure of the foundation-building level spread out and enveloped Tang Hao.

"How can I guarantee this, but Lao Luo definitely won't do such a thing." Tang Hao couldn't help but frown.

While he was thinking, he felt the pressure rising in front of him. It was obvious that the other party wanted to use his power to overwhelm him and force him to speak.

I couldn't help but think to myself: 'Tsk, my sister Jue is here, and you are still doing this, you are really blinding your mind.'

Sure enough, I heard a charming yet cold humming sound next to my ear.

Shan Xing was suddenly struck by lightning. He took two steps back and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

Shan Kui, the old man who was obviously also in the Nascent Soul stage, immediately took a step sideways and stood in front of Bai Jue, blocking his view. He frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai Jue, are you trying to bully this youngster?"

"Junior? My brother isn't a junior to him?" Bai Jue sneered, "Just ask questions, why are you showing off your aura? Are you showing off your insignificant cultivation?"

"you……"

Shan Xing's face immediately turned red with anger. As the third son of the Shanlei clan, when had he ever been treated like this?
We all have Nascent Soul cultivators to support us, we all have powerful forces behind us, and our cultivation bases are only a major realm apart. What's wrong with me showing off my aura? I...

After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to realize that his behavior was indeed a little inappropriate.

Although Tang Hao was only an outer disciple of the Qinghua Sect, he and his companions were currently within the sect's sphere of influence. The other party was not one of the affiliated sect disciples who could be manipulated at will as in the past.

Just when he was feeling a bit awkward, Shan Kui patted him gently and said to Bai Jue, "Fellow Daoist Bai Jue, please calm down. My young master just lost control of his emotions for a moment and couldn't control himself."

Upon hearing this, Shanxing took the opportunity to back down.

He took a deep breath and said, "Yan'er is my newlywed wife. Now her life is in danger. The murderer is right in front of me, but I cannot seek justice for her. I was so emotional that I lost my composure. I hope Brother Tang will forgive me."

"It looks like an apology, but it's like I stopped him from taking revenge. These second-generation immortals really are..."

Tang Hao rolled his eyes inwardly, but said, "I understand Third Young Master's feelings, but it's a bit early to call Senior Brother the murderer. He's just a suspect at best."

"Suspect? Haha." Shan Xing sneered and looked at Sheng Xiong and nodded.

Sheng Xiong immediately took out something, held it in his hand, and showed it to everyone in the ancestral hall: "This was found at the scene. It must be something left behind by the murderer."

It was a sign, made neither of gold nor wood, and exquisitely crafted.

On it, three ancient characters [Luo Ke Di] are brightly written, with the characters [Yao Feng] faintly visible in the background of green lines.

It was the identity card that Luo Kedi handed over the day before.

Seeing this, Tang Hao's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"You used the things you took away to frame me. Does Patriarch Sheng think our clan is easy to bully?"
