Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Shen Qiao nodded, "I'll go see him."

"Oh..." Shang Mian was obviously not at ease.

"I'll go with you." Mu Jiu, who was still standing at the door, said, "I know a little bit about puppetry, maybe it can be of some use."

Shen Qiao raised his eyebrows, thinking of what this person said at Wanshou Mountain, and thought to himself that this does not look like "just a little understanding".

"it is good."

With Dai Jia's confession, it is almost certain that this man named Li You was implicated innocently. Zhou Xian meant that although this man injured his colleague, he was also a victim and should be released after a few days in prison.

The dungeon is located at the foot of Wanshou Mountain, on the shady side of the mountain. It would feel chilly even if you come here during the day, let alone at this time of the night.

The two men showed Zhou Xian's warrant and entered the dungeon. After going down a few steps, Mu Jiu tried to stop Shen Qiao behind him.

"Junior sister?" He turned around to check, only to see Shen Qiao covering her chest with a pale face.

Without waiting for Mu Jiu to speak again, Shen Qiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I probably exercised too much today. Let's keep going. The sooner we finish asking questions, the sooner we can go back."

Mu Jiu wanted to persuade her to go back, but seeing her insistence, he couldn't speak anymore, "...Yeah."

Shen Qiao adjusted his state and caught up again. The more he walked, the more the air around him began to flow. A soft and pure spiritual power dispelled the cold air in the dungeon and also relieved the stuffy pain in his heart.

The spiritual force field of the wind spiritual root?

Shen Qiao looked at Mu Jiu who was walking in front with a little surprise.

To be able to release one's spiritual power so naturally and freely, one must be at least at the fourth level of the Soaring Cloud Realm.

"Junior sister, why did you think of looking for this Li You?"

"I met him on the mountain." Shen Qiao took a deep breath and spoke.

"I always thought he looked different."

In just a few words, the two of them had already reached the first floor of the dungeon. The disciple on guard seemed to have been informed in advance, so he did not stop them and opened the door for them directly.

Mu Jiu accepted it, thanked him, and walked in with Shen Qiao. "The person being controlled is not unconscious, just like Li You did not hurt his father."

Shen Qiao glanced at the cells. Most of them were actually empty. The truly vicious prisoners were usually held on the lower floors. "I originally thought Li You was being manipulated to target Dai Jia, a self-torture scheme staged by Dai Jia himself. But the questions I've just heard have dispelled that suspicion."

"Junior sister, are you suspecting that there might be other details about Li You that haven't been noticed?"

Shen Qiao retracted his gaze and responded, "What do you think, brother?"

"Me?" Mu Jiu seemed surprised that Shen Qiao asked for his opinion. "I just thought... we should be able to finish this tonight."

Shen Qiao couldn't help but look at him, only to see that the man was looking at her with a smile.

This look always made Shen Qiao feel that this person might not be as gentle and obedient as he appeared on the surface.

"Is Senior Brother so confident?"

Mu Jiu didn't answer immediately, but opened the door of the cell in front of him and asked, "How about we make a bet?"

Shen Qiao was very interested. "What are you betting on?"

"The living are dead, and the dead are resurrected."

Shen Qiao was just wondering what secret he was keeping when he saw Mu Jiu simply raised his hand and pushed open the prison door.

...Unlocked?

Shen Qiao frowned and looked into the cell. Besides the unconscious Li You lying on the bed, there was another person standing. Just from the back, Shen Qiao immediately recognized the person's identity. "He Yuan?"

As soon as Shen Qiao asked the question, the person who had his back to him seemed to hesitate for a moment, and after a while he turned around and looked at the two of them.

"......That's not right." Shen Qiao looked at the completely exposed face.

It was clearly He Yuan, but the discomfort Li You had felt before reappeared, especially since she had had contact with He Yuan before. Even when facing a stranger, He Yuan would not look at people with such indifferent eyes.

"Who are you?" Shen Qiao became more alert.

"Junior Sister, what are you talking about?" He Yuan looked at the two of them innocently. "We just met during the day, have you forgotten?"

"She disguised herself very well indeed." Mu Jiu looked at "He Yuan" and said.

"If I hadn't opened the red coffin before coming here, I wouldn't have suspected them."

After hearing this, Shen Qiao looked at Mu Jiu as if he were a monster, "When did you open the coffin?"

Mu Jiu smiled politely, "When my junior sister was interrogating Dai Jia, she was bored and started talking."

Shen Qiao was speechless for a moment.

As expected, those who have a high level of cultivation are bolder.

Seeing that the truth was revealed, the fake He Yuan took advantage of the time when the two were chatting to step back to the window.

Shen Qiao: "Is it because there is no spirit in the coffin that you suspect the spirit has already escaped?"

Mu Jiu shook his head. "The body in the coffin wasn't Zhang Wan, but a male corpse with a mole between his eyebrows."

Shen Qiao was completely stunned.

A mole between the eyebrows... Old Master Dai had mentioned this feature when describing the quack. Does that mean this guy didn't just run away, but is dead?!

Seeing that he was almost guessed, the fake He Yuan suddenly turned around and jumped, touched the window with both hands and tried to climb up, but just as he touched the iron bars of the window, a cold wind blew directly on his face. Caught off guard, the fake He Yuan slipped and fell back. This time, he seemed to have broken his leg, and his face turned pale.

Shen Qiao looked at him with a little sympathy. Anyway, this area was all Mu Jiu's territory. Unless the person in front of him was at a higher level than Mu Jiu, he really couldn't escape.

"The Dai family has no reason to throw mud at their own family. This means they did kill Zhang Wan. This sorcerer must have been sealed in later in Zhang Wan's place."

"Then where is the real Zhang Wan?"

After saying that, the two of them turned their eyes to the fake He Yuan who was curled up in the corner holding his legs.

"Who...are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Shen Qiao looked at him carefully again, and after thinking about it, there seemed to be only one explanation -

"Soul Transfer Technique."

The fake He Yuan, whose true identity was exposed, still remained stubborn, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Now that we've determined what the magic is, then..."

Halfway through his words, Mu Jiu walked over and squatted down, "Just remove the spell."

Shen Qiao saw Mu Jiu flicking He Yuan's eyebrows with his fingers, and the fake He Yuan, who was originally extremely excited, became motionless as if frozen. Then, a wisp of smoke-like thing floated out from the wall near the window of the cell, and its shape changed and finally became a clear human figure.

"He deserves to die." A female voice sounded from the cell. Shen Qiao knew who it was without even looking.

"Zhou Xian has checked the Zhang family's background and found that they have nothing to do with these crooked and evil techniques."

"Someone taught you." Mu Jiu looked at the shadow on the wall. "This person helped you come back to life and taught you these soul-transferring techniques."
