A rare opportunity

"Oh! Investigate? Sun Qiang is dead and there is no evidence. How can we investigate? Who should we investigate?"

Patriarch Sun sighed.

"This... Ouyang Zifan is obviously trying to silence someone. I think he is a spy from the Tianxing Sect! As long as we torture him, I don't believe he won't confess!"

Patriarch Li said viciously.

"Inappropriate! Inappropriate!"

Patriarch Sun shook his head repeatedly.

"What's wrong?"

Patriarch Li glared and said loudly.

"Ouyang Zifan killed Sun Qiang when we arrived. There must be something wrong with him. But if he insists that he did it to save Ma Ji, what should we do? What reason do we have to investigate him? Now that Sun Qiang is dead and there is no evidence, what can we find out?"

Patriarch Sun said in a deep voice.

"Could it be... could it be that we are just going to let it go like this?"

Ancestor Li said unwillingly.

"Of course we can't just let it go like this! Humph! That old bastard Yao Shouxiao wanted to shit on my Qiyun Sect, but he made a wrong calculation! One day he will pay the price!"

The old man Sun's eyes flashed coldly and he said grimly.

"Okay! Let's put aside Ouyang Zifan's matter for now, then what should we do with those bastards outside? We can't just let it go like this, right?"

Patriarch Li said angrily.

"Of course we can't just let it go like this! They trespassed into the forbidden area without reporting it. Their crime is unforgivable! The most hateful thing is that fool Qi Guangming, who was used as a pawn by others without even knowing it! They must be severely punished!"

Patriarch Sun was also angry.

Qi Guangming and the others all knelt down at the entrance of the cave, trembling. Ouyang Zifan was even more nervous, like fifteen buckets of water, up and down!

Although he thought he had done it perfectly, he was afraid of a mistake! Especially since Li Yu might have told the four ancestors the whole process. The original plan was to kill Sun Qiang for murdering the Son of the Earth after Sun Qiang killed Ma Ji. In this way, he would not only complete Bai Ruhua's mission, but also get rid of himself.

But man proposes, God disposes. The four ancestors rushed back just when their plan was about to succeed, causing them to fail! In order to save himself, he had to make a temporary decision to kill Sun Qiang.

Although Sun Qiang was dead, he probably became their suspect. After all, when he took action, the four ancestors had already arrived, and he could not escape the suspicion of murder! Although he could insist that he had to take action in order to stop Sun Qiang from hurting Ma Ji, he was afraid that the four ancestors would not distinguish right from wrong and would not give him a chance to explain, and would take his life right away!

He couldn't help but glance at Bai Ruhua who was kneeling beside him. Seeing that she was kneeling on the ground trembling like Qi Guangming and others, he couldn't help but feel pity for her! He secretly decided to take all the responsibility by himself and never betray her!

Bai Ruhua looked normal at this moment, but in fact she was terrified and panicked! She knew that based on Ouyang Zifan's behavior and the views of several ancestors, they must have doubted Ouyang Zifan!

If they really tortured Ouyang Zifan, she was not sure if he could bear it! Once Ouyang Zifan could not bear the torture, she would be in great danger!

After all, Ouyang Zifan was not a true disciple of the Tianxing Sect, but just a tool for him to use! The reason why he was willing to accept his orders was because he was coerced and lured by him! As for his loyalty, it was hard to say!

However, now he is trapped in this secret realm, like a trapped beast, helpless. He can only hope that Ouyang Zifan is not so soft-hearted!

At this time, Qi Guangming finally came to his senses! He cursed himself for being so stupid! He should never have acted without notifying the four ancestors. But he did not realize the seriousness of the problem, let alone that he was being used by others.

When the iron gate fell, because the entrance was blocked by Ouyang Zifan and Yu Shulin, and the dust raised from the ground, he could not see the situation in the stone chamber at all, and had no idea what Sun Qiang and Ouyang Zifan did. As for Sun Qiang's death, he didn't know even more! Because, at that time, he had been thrown out of the cave by the ancestors!

He just thought that the four ancestors were furious because they had trespassed into the forbidden area! He even hoped that the ancestors would reward him after understanding the situation!

Yu Shulin is still in shock! Everything happened too suddenly and too unexpectedly! His purpose was just to fish in troubled waters and understand Ma Ji's current situation! However, Sun Qiang's actions really shocked him! Ouyang Zifan's actions made his back cold!

Although he and Sun Qiang seemed to be at odds on the surface, he knew Sun Qiang very well. Sun Qiang had no reason to kill Ma Ji. He must have been instructed by someone else to do so. Considering that Ouyang Zifan had spent some time alone with Sun Qiang before breaking the door, the person who instructed him was obvious!

I couldn't help but feel a little scared! If Ouyang Zifan had found me instead of Sun Qiang, then I would be the one lying on the ground with my eyes wide open, right?

But he couldn't understand why Ouyang Zifan wanted to kill Ma Ji? Could he be a member of the Tianxing Sect? Thinking of this, he felt a chill on his back!

Lu Junlan, Xiaolian and three or four other disciples stood behind these people and looked at them coldly.

Lu Junlan was awakened by the sound of continuous banging on the iron gate during her training. For some reason, she asked Xiaolian to go down and investigate. She was really shocked when she learned that they were banging on an iron gate of the secret forbidden land! She hurriedly rushed to the scene with several fellow disciples, but found that the group of people had gone crazy and no one listened to their attempts to stop them! In desperation, she had to press the mechanism to notify the four ancestors outside.

She was very disgusted that these guys entered the secret realm and did not make good use of this rare opportunity to practice, but were keen on looking for Ma Ji. Although Ma Ji's departure this time was related to her, she also wanted to know his current situation. But since the sect did not allow them to meet, there must be a reason for the sect. As a sect disciple, she should not deliberately inquire and look for him.

But after all, these people were all in the name of caring about Ma Ji, so she couldn't say anything. It was just that she never participated, and even kept a distance from them on purpose, living in the same cave with several mature and steady brothers who were devoted to cultivation.

What she didn't expect was that they were so bold as to break into the forbidden area and force the door! She couldn't help but feel sad! Don't these people have brains? Who is Ma Ji? A tea boy, how could a mortal hold him hostage? What's more, the tea boy was such a skinny child?
