The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 284

Due to some very secret reasons that are only related to human nature, Jian Ruyun, who is ranked fourth in Liangwang Peak, has always been wary of Liu Shisui.

The Zuo Yi case that was mentioned when Liu Shisui was interrogated at Shangdefeng was forgotten by most people after more than ten years, but he remembered it very clearly.

Through the relationship in the clan, he found out that Zuo Yi had been to the shutter people before his death. Zuo Yi had an old friend among the shutter people, and Shenmo Peak seemed to have checked that person as well.

This strengthened his determination to investigate the case.

Because he was worried that someone in Qingshan would cover up Shenmo Peak, so he didn't tell anyone, and planned to do it himself.

His whereabouts were too conspicuous, so in the end this matter fell to his brother Jian Ruoshan. Jian Ruoshan's ranking in Liangwang Peak is very ordinary, at least it is not noticeable inside Qingshan, when he left, he didn't disturb anyone, and followed the existing clues to Jianli City.

Although no results were obtained from the shutter-roller, at least he could confirm that the shutter-roller was also covering up something, which was enough for him.

He thought he had figured everything out, and he felt a little nervous, no matter how difficult it was to keep his breathing steady.

This is a quiet ruined temple, with a bonfire burning in the middle, and he can only hear the sound of his own breathing.

The heavy breathing made him feel that his own shoulders were also a little heavy, and that was the responsibility of the Qingshan disciples.

The bonfire fell on his face, and the light and darkness changed, making his expression more dignified.

Jing Jiu actually paid for murder...

Neither Jian Ruyun nor he thought about it, that Master Zuo Yi of Bihu Peak was killed by Liu Shisui, because at that time Liu Shisui had only been in the inner sect for a short time, and his realm was still very low, and he was really clean and honest at that time, so he should be just covering up for someone. As for who that person is... It's easy to guess.

They also didn't think that Jing Jiu did it himself, because Jing Jiu's realm was very low at that time, and he couldn't kill Zuo Yi who was in Wuzhang Realm at all.

After confirming the matter of the rolling shutter man, he can fly back to the south directly with his sword, but the existing evidence is not enough to accuse Liu Shisui, so he decided to find a friend in the mirror sect and continue to follow this clue.

Thinking about Liu Shisui's relationship with Shenmo Peak, and Liu Shisui's joining the Bulaolin and killing Luo Huainan later, Jian Ruoshan felt that this matter was too complicated, the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and even felt a little dizzy - if it wasn't for dizziness, why did the bonfire in front of him turn into such a weird blue color?

Thinking like this, Jian Ruoshan suddenly thought of the homework she first learned after entering Liangwang Peak, and the details that the seniors warned them with the most stern voices that they must remember.

There is a kind of fire in the world that has no color, but if it encounters a real flame, it will become blue!

Jian Ruoshan was extremely shocked, his face was full of disbelief, he didn't dare to hesitate, he directly summoned the flying sword and wanted to leave with it.

It's a pity that it was too late, the flames of the bonfire soared up to the roof, filling the entire ruined temple.

Those faint blue flames looked so violent, but neither the old beams of the roof nor the broken curtain in front of the Buddha were ignited, and they remained the same as before.

Those faint blue flames seemed to have no real temperature.

"Soul fire!"

Jian Ruoshan shouted sharply.

The flying sword slashed in all directions, the sword light was extremely dazzling!

He has already confirmed that the enemy is the monster from the underworld, and he is extremely nervous.

The Underworld and the human world have been peaceful for more than two hundred years, and it is rare to even see the monsters from the Underworld appearing. This is the first time he has encountered such a battle.

Soul fire has no temperature, but it is extremely deadly to practitioners in Chaotian Continent, because it can directly pollute and then devour the practitioner's golden core or sword pill.

What's more troublesome is that the soul fire is silent and difficult to extinguish. Practitioners usually deal with the soul fire of the monster of the underworld by directly suppressing and purifying it with the brilliance of magic weapons, or they try to contaminate a small amount of soul fire and kill the monster of the underworld first.

Jian Ruoshan is just an ordinary Qingshan disciple, he has no magic weapon, and his swordsmanship is not enough to kill the soul fire, so he can only hope that the flying sword can kill the monster from the underworld. But he had already thought that this monster from the underworld should be a powerful projection, and the main body should be far away at the bottom of the abyss. How could his flying sword hit it? Sure enough, the extremely bright sword light shuttled at high speed, beheading the three walls of the ruined temple and even the forest outside the temple. The soul fire was still gushing out from the bonfire!

Jian Ruoshan yelled in despair, recalled the flying sword and slashed towards the blue flames.

The soul fire was scattered by the sword wind, but the next moment it floated back again, falling towards his body like a transparent blue mask.

Jian Ruoshan gritted her teeth, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, held on to her Dao heart, covered her body with sword gangs, and resisted the encroachment of the soul fire.

The flying sword rose through the air, sending out a piercing bright light in the night sky, sending out a signal for help.

Chi Chi Chi Chi!

Horrific sounds filled the ruined temple, like tens of thousands of silkworms nibbling on mulberry leaves, or like a burning iron slowly dipping into icy water.

The faint blue soul fire kept falling, and the sword gang covering the body became thinner and thinner, and it seemed that it would not be able to support it.

Jian Ruoshan opened his eyes, showing despair and struggle.

At this time, he was faced with two choices, either withdraw the sword gang and forcibly break out of the ruined temple, or persist in this way.

But no matter which choice he chooses, it will be a dead end in the end, unless he cultivates the innate sword body, it is possible to directly fight against the soul fire with his physical body.

After hesitating for a moment, everything became a foregone conclusion. The soul fire eroded his sword, landed on his clothes and face, and then burrowed into the flesh.

Jian Ruoshan yelled in pain, no matter how hard it was to hold onto his Dao heart, the soul fire eroded more quickly, instantly burning him into a few streaks of blue smoke and a little ashes.

A ray of sword light broke through the night and landed in front of the temple with a biting chill.

Light snow fell from the sky, the bonfire in the ruined temple did not weaken, but became more vigorous, and the remnants of those soul fires gradually faded until they disappeared without a trace.

Duan Liantian walked into the ruined temple with an extremely dignified expression.

He is the new elder of Shangde Peak, known for his ruthless behavior, he personally tried the case of Liu Shisui who stole the demon pill and practiced the secret method of the evil way.

It was also during that trial that he suddenly discovered that Liu Shisui was actually related to the death of Zuo Yi at Bihu Peak.

Recently, there have been rumors in Nine Peaks. Duan Liantian thought of the case a long time ago, and started to pick it up again, and found some clues like Jian Ruyun.

To be more precise, he found out that Zuo Yi's old friend was once the curtain roller of Jianli City.

Today when he came to Jianli City, he found that someone was ahead of him.

When he was vigilant and confused, he suddenly saw a sword light outside the city in Xianju.

That sword light was extremely bright, illuminating a small half of the night sky.

That was the signal for disciple Qingshan to warn and ask for help!

Without hesitation, Duan Liantian rushed to the outside of the city as fast as he could, and found this ruined temple, but found that there was nothing there except a pile of bonfires.

Where there is a bonfire, there are people, so where did the people go? The temple walls and beams are broken, who fought here?

Duan Liantian took out a bronze mirror and looked around the ruined temple.

This bronze mirror is called Mingguangjian, and it was made by the master of Jingzong. Every city has a shutter roller.

The elders and disciples of Shangde Peak are also used to bring them with them because of the need for investigation and tracing.

Duan Liantian was shocked when he saw the blurry pictures reflected by the bronze mirror, and his face became extremely ugly.

It turned out to be a demon from the Underworld!

Just when he was about to continue searching for traces and clues, another snowflake suddenly fell.

The snowflakes that fell at this time were much larger than those when he arrived with his sword.

The sword light faded slightly, and Chi Yan appeared in the ruined temple.

Duan Liantian was a little surprised, stepped forward to salute and said, "I've seen senior brother."

Chi Yan looked around and frowned slightly.

Duan Liantian said: "A disciple died, I don't know which peak it is from."

Chi Yan said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Duan Liantian's expression changed slightly, seeing that he didn't speak.
