I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

Xie Jibai felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, and became increasingly wary of Shen Xuanli.

In Xie Jibai's opinion, Shen Xuanli in front of him must have killed Ye Hanyue personally, otherwise, Ye Hanyue would not have died at this point in time.

As fellow disciples, Shen Xuanli did not spare Ye Hanyue's life. It is very likely that Shen Xuanli in this life discovered that Penglai was destroyed, found Ye Hanyue and killed her.

Because Shen Xuanli in this life did not have a junior sister like Ye Hanyue, and there was no affection between the two of them, he was able to act cleanly and efficiently.

Only after killing Ye Hanyue did Shen Xuanli in this life kill Shen Xuanli in his previous life. While devouring his power, he also gained the memories of his previous life.

So when he mentioned Ye Hanyue's death, Shen Xuanli frowned and remained silent for a moment. He must have killed Ye Hanyue before he obtained the memories of his previous life.

Xie Jibai narrowed his eyes slightly. When he was in the Ninth Heaven Palace, Shen Xuanli was about to break through the fusion stage. Now that he has integrated the power of the Void Realm, he might be even more difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Xie Jibai panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

The destruction of Penglai had nothing to do with him. He just learned a shocking secret about the secret realm on the sea from an ancient fragment before the secret realm appeared in the world, and revealed the news to Ye Hanyue.

He didn't care about Ye Hanyue and the Ye family's ambitions. He only knew that if Ye Hanyue did that, the entire Penglai would suffer a devastating disaster.

And he can use this secret to gain the greatest benefit for himself.

If you want to blame someone, blame Ye Hanyue. How can you blame him?

But right now, if he doesn't say something, Shen Xuanli will definitely not let it go.

Ye Hanyue is dead and there is no evidence to prove his guilt. As long as he can find a story that can temporarily free him from suspicion, he can get through this storm safely.

He didn't have the time to waste with Shen Xuanli. He still had to go find his senior sister. Even if he had to dig deep into the ground, he would find her.

Xie Jibai pondered in his mind and soon came up with an excuse, an excuse that would clear himself of suspicion.

"I didn't expect Ye Hanyue to be dead. I heard before that she was hunted by the Penglai elders. I always thought that the collapse of the secret realm was related to her."

"You came to me. Maybe she said something, but her words are not necessarily trustworthy. She is probably deliberately pointing the finger at me to hide the truth."

"I don't want to swear an oath because the oath of heaven is no joke and cannot be made lightly. I never prove myself for something I haven't done."

"Although Ye Hanyue is dead, she still has a contracted spirit beast. As her eldest senior brother, you should know this, right?"

"It's an equal contract. The spirit beast won't die. As far as I know, her spirit beast is not an ordinary spirit beast. It's related to the demon race."

"And in this secret realm on the sea, it is said that something is sealed, its power is enough to shake the heavens and the earth, and it seems to be related to the demon race."

"Since they are all related to the demon race, the collapse of the secret realm, and the destruction of Penglai, there may be some connection between them. It's a pity that she never told you, my senior brother, until her death."

Xie Jibai looked serious, and no matter who looked at him, he didn't look like he was lying.

In the dark, Yu Qingning and the system were shocked by Xie Jibai's words.

[The Crazy Lady's spirit beast is related to the demon race? How come I don't know? It's not mentioned in the original novel!]

Yu Qingning gazed slightly. The original novel only wrote that Ye Hanyue contracted a nine-tailed red fox, a standard feature of the heroine in a cultivation novel, but it did not write about any connection between this nine-tailed red fox and the demon clan.

It turns out that it is not a nine-tailed spirit fox, but a nine-tailed demon fox. Could it be that this nine-tailed demon fox has some background, or is it a big demon in the demon clan?

Junior Brother Yu Zixiu is a half-demon from the fox clan. If Ye Hanyue’s nine-tailed fox really comes from the demon world, Junior Brother must know the details of this nine-tailed red fox.

As for what Xie Jibai said about something being sealed in the secret realm on the sea, and that it was related to the demon race, this statement was not credible.

Because Xie Jibai is not that kind, how could he easily tell Shen Xuanli the truth about the destruction of Penglai.

Xie Jibai said this simply to clear himself of suspicion.

However, she had a broken half of the formation stone in her hand. If she could identify the blurred runes on it, she would know what the formation stone was used for and whether it was related to the demon clan as Xie Jibai said.

Shen Xuanli fell silent, and it seemed that he was also thinking about the truth of Xie Ji's words.

Seeing this, Xie Jibai added, "There's no point in you confronting me. The fall of Penglai has nothing to do with me. Even if you fight me now, it won't solve any problems. I've already told you everything I know."

"If I were you, I wouldn't waste time here. Instead, I would follow the clues to find the truth behind Penglai's demise."

"I also know that you are not the Shen Xuanli of this world. You have merged with him. In this case, finding the truth and saving Penglai in this world is the most important thing."

Yu Qingning was stunned. Was it Shen Xuanli from this life? She couldn't even recognize him, so how did Xie Jibai recognize him?

In this way, Shen Xuanli has already obtained the cultivation of his previous life and even has the memories of his previous life.

Xie Jibai's last words touched Shen Xuanli's heart.

After Shen Xuanli was drawn here by the power of time and space, he saw the destroyed Penglai.

After some inquiries, I learned what kind of devastating disaster Penglai had suffered in this life.

Shen Xuanli found Ye Hanyue in this life, but unfortunately, Ye Hanyue never revealed the truth about the destruction of Penglai until her death.

Afterwards, Shen Xuanli met his previous life self.

Because Penglai has been destroyed, and the Penglai of this life has not yet encountered a disaster, Shen Xuanli of the previous life proposed to merge with Shen Xuanli, hoping that Shen Xuanli would obtain his power and prevent the disaster from happening.

Shen Xuanli accepted his previous life's proposal, and while gaining his power, he also gained his previous life's memories. The two did not fight at all.

In Shen Xuanli's opinion, killing Xie Jibai will not bring Penglai back to life. He needs to find the truth to prevent the disaster from happening again in this life.

Shen Xuanli did not believe all of Xie Jibai's words, but he would investigate it thoroughly and would not miss any clues.

"I will verify what you said. If you hide anything, I will not forgive you. You can leave now."

Shen Xuanli's voice was cold. Letting Xie Jibai go now did not mean that Xie Jibai had eliminated suspicion.

If it is discovered that Xie Jibai is related to the destruction of Penglai, his life will be taken even if he returns to the time and space world of this life.

Seeing that he could finally escape, Xie Jibai immediately disappeared from the spot. He must find her, and this time no matter what means he used, he would keep her by his side.

When Yu Qingning saw Xie Jibai leaving, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She let the bastard go find her, and she would release some news later.

She put away her thoughts and was about to show up to meet Shen Xuanli when she saw Shen Xuanli walking towards her, as if he had already noticed her presence.
