Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, Chu Yunfan and Wang Wuzhi, one mature and steady, the other having lived for two hundred years and being a wise old man, were both extremely shocked, but they quickly regained their composure and walked into the main hall with calm expressions.

Upon entering the main hall, the head of the Enforcement Hall sat in the main seat, while the outer elders sat on either side.

A moment later, Chu Mingwei's authoritative voice rang out.

"Chu Yunfan, Wang Ziqiao accuses you of murdering Wang Dali, Wang Xiaoer, and Li Si. What do you have to say?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan calmly replied:

"This is a frame-up! We hope Hall Master Chu will investigate thoroughly!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's answer, Chu Mingwei remained expressionless and turned his gaze to Wang Ziqiao.

"Wang Ziqiao, what evidence do you have to prove that Chu Yunfan murdered his fellow disciple?"

If not, this hall master will punish you for falsely accusing your fellow disciples!

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ziqiao immediately explained:

"By Hall Master Chu, after Chu Yunfan joined the sect, he had a conflict with my younger brother Wang Dali. He even used some evil means to injure my younger brother Wang Dali and stole the Body Tempering Pill from my brother."

Later, when I heard that Chu Yunfan had gone out to gain experience, my younger brother Wang Dali found Wang Xiaoer, Zhang San, and Li Si to accompany Chu Yunfan on his journey, intending to teach Chu Yunfan a lesson.

Unexpectedly, after that trip, my younger brother Wang Dali, along with Wang Xiaoer and Li Si, have been missing ever since.

All signs indicate that the disappearance of my three younger brothers is definitely related to Chu Yunfan!

Moreover, Zhang San was also a participant in this whole incident; he can serve as a witness!

After speaking, Wang Ziqiao turned to look at Zhang San, his eyes fixed on him.

At this moment, Zhang San closed his eyes tightly, his mind in turmoil.

Just before, Wang Ziqiao broke into Chu Yunfan's stone house, found him, and said to him:

"Zhang San, Chu Yunfan has been sent to the Hall of Law Enforcement. If you know what's good for you, you'll tell us everything you know about the truth."

Otherwise, you can expect to be collecting your parents' corpses later.

You should know that with the strength of my Wang family, dealing with two ordinary people is a piece of cake!

When Zhang San heard this, he knew something terrible was about to happen.

At this moment, seeing Chu Yunfan appear in the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, and with this frightening scene, Zhang San knew in his heart that Wang Ziqiao was going to make Chu Yunfan suffer to death.

Recalling the scene of Chu Yunfan healing his wounds, Zhang San was truly unwilling to betray him.

However, thinking of her parents, whose lives were in Wang Ziqiao's hands, she knew that if she wanted her parents to be safe, she would have to betray Chu Yunfan.

Thinking of this, Zhang San felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He couldn't help but reach out and clench his chest muscles tightly, as if that would make him feel a little better.

At this moment, Chu Mingwei's authoritative voice rang out again:

"Zhang San, you are the only witness to this matter. Tell me what you know immediately. If you dare to conceal anything, this hall master will punish you severely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang San opened his tightly closed eyes.

He looked at Chu Yunfan, his eyes filled with tears, his mouth moving as if he wanted to say something, but he said nothing.

Seeing Zhang San's state, Chu Yunfan clearly sensed something was wrong and had a bad feeling.

Wang Ziqiao and his gang had already tortured Zhang San, but Zhang San did not betray them.

Logically speaking, Wang Ziqiao had no reason to allow Zhang San to be a witness again.

But that's exactly what Prince Bridge did.

Judging from Zhang San's expression at this moment, he clearly has something he can't say.

"Could it be that Wang Ziqiao did something again to make Zhang San choose to betray me?"

Just then, Wang Ziqiao urged from the side:

"Zhang San, with Master Chu's methods, finding out the truth is a piece of cake. I advise you to confess honestly and not get yourself into trouble!"

Upon hearing Wang Ziqiao's urging, Zhang San finally uttered a sound.

Chu Yunfan, on the other hand, immediately tensed up.

Zhang San witnessed him killing Wang Dali and the others. If he were to reveal this, the Enforcement Hall, with its capabilities, could very well uncover the truth of the matter by finding the scene where he killed Wang Dali and the others.

Although he had already destroyed the bodies of Wang Dali and the other two to cover up the crime.

The traces of the fight at the scene have been removed.

However, the Enforcement Hall is, after all, a professional investigator with numerous methods, and the cultivators of this world possess even more unknown methods.

Whether his trick can fool the other party is a big question mark.

In fact, Chu Yunfan had considered killing Zhang San to silence him, but since Zhang San had saved his life at a crucial moment, he couldn't bring himself to do such an ingratitude.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be facing such an unfavorable situation now.

However, to everyone's surprise, although Zhang San made a sound, he didn't say a word. Instead, he suddenly clenched his right fist and used all his remaining strength to punch his chest.

Zhang San's idea was simple: once he died, Wang Ziqiao would no longer be able to use him to deal with Chu Yunfan, and thus would lose the meaning of dealing with his parents.

And once he's dead, the question of whether he betrayed Chu Yunfan will no longer exist.

As the saying goes, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to reconcile since ancient times; only death can resolve all problems.

However, Zhang San was still a little too naive.

Inside the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall sat Chu Mingwei and a dozen elders, along with a group of Martial King realm experts.

Under the watchful eye of the soul power of Martial King realm experts, even the slightest increase in his breathing would be easily detected by these experts, let alone his attempt to commit suicide.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang San raised his fist, he was bound to the spot by a tremendous force and could not move an inch.

"Zhang San, what do you want to do!"

Suicide won't solve the problem. If you don't tell the truth, then I'll have no choice but to use soul-searching techniques on you!

Upon hearing the words "soul search," Zhang San's expression changed drastically.

The so-called soul search is a method used by powerful individuals above the Martial King realm to probe into the minds of others and search for their memories.

Although memories forcibly obtained through this method are often incomplete, grasping the general outline is not a problem.

In other words, as soon as Chu Mingwei searches the soul, Chu Yunfan's murder of Wang Dali and others will be immediately exposed.

Zhang San, being an accomplice, also cannot escape punishment.

At the same time, Chu Yunfan's heart skipped a beat.

What Zhang San could think of, he naturally thought of as well.

Originally, the method of soul searching is extremely cruel. It not only violates the privacy of the person whose soul is being searched, but may also cause serious damage to the soul, making the person an idiot. In more serious cases, the soul may even perish and the person may die.

Therefore, the practice of soul searching is openly prohibited.

Even as the head of the Enforcement Hall, Chu Mingwei could not use such methods against Qingyun Sword Sect disciples without the sect's permission during interrogation.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan looked up at the dozen or so outer sect elders.

To his disappointment, all the elders remained silent, seemingly having no intention of objecting to Chu Mingwei's earlier statement.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan looked at Zhang San again.

Now, we can only wait and see what he says.

Zhang San clearly understood that he could not be subjected to soul searching, so he finally chose to speak.

However, what he said shocked everyone present!
