The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 288 I Won't Tell You if You Kill Me

The appearance of Jian Ruyun, everyone knew that it must be aimed at Liu Shisui.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Fang Jingtian didn't ask the question himself, but gave Shang Defeng the right to ask the question.

Chi Yan took the case file provided by Xi Laifeng, glanced at it, looked at Jian Ruyun and said, "You testify that Liu Shisui is related to the death of Zuo Yi at Bihu Peak thirteen years ago?"

...

...

Qingshan disciples have been waiting outside the hall for news.

After knowing that she couldn't stay in Qingshan, Xiao He's face turned pale, but she didn't say a word.

Yuan Qu couldn't bear it, and whispered a few words of comfort.

Lu Qing looked at the closed palace door, silently waiting for the bad news that might come later.

The bad news came very quickly. The disciples all knew about Elder Chi Yan's questioning. Some disciples were shocked and speechless, while others were at a loss.

Bihu Peak Zuo Yi... who is it? There were whispers and discussions under the green pine. Under the reminder of some fellow disciples, the disciples remembered that incident.

At that time, there was a Master Zuo Yi in Bihu Peak, who had no outstanding status and was expected to hit the wilderness. One year, he died suddenly, his body was separated, and he was thrown by the stream.

This matter once caused a great shock in Qingshan, but as time passed, the disciples who concentrated on their cultivation gradually forgot about this matter, until it was suddenly mentioned again today.

How could Liu Shisui have anything to do with this matter?

Most of the Qingshan disciples felt that this accusation was ridiculous, but some disciples thought in their hearts that Liu Shisui even dared to kill Luo Huainan... Although they all said that there was an inside story to this matter, and even the Zhongzhou faction did not pursue it, but...it was Luo Huainan after all!

The disciples later found out that it was Jian Ruyun who accused Liu Shisui. Shocked, they subconsciously threw themselves at the place where the disciples of Liangwang Peak were standing.

Gu Han's face was extremely gloomy, while Ma Hua squinted his eyes, and his face was rarely without a smile, giving people an unpredictable and profound feeling.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it seems to indirectly prove that Jian Ruyun's accusation is not completely absurd.

Yuan Qu looked at Ma Hua, and said with some anxiety: "Could it be that Brother Ma knows something inside?"

"He knows what a fart. He is a little clever and thinks that he is always wise and can predict people's hearts and the truth. In fact, he is extremely stupid."

It was rare for Gu Qing to utter a dirty word.

He doesn't like Mahua.

When he was a sword boy for Nanshan in Liangwang Peak, he could often see Ma Hua smiling, and he felt very disgusted at that time.

...

...

inside the hall.

"I'm not sure about his specific relationship with Master Zuo's death on Bihu Peak, but I can be sure that he was not in his cave on the night Master Zuo died."

Without any expression on Jian Ruyun's face, she said: "Gu Han also knows about it, and Master Uncle Duan had tried this matter before."

Duan Liantian didn't expect to mention himself so soon. Thinking of Jian Lv's attitude, he couldn't help feeling a little tingly, and said to everyone: "Yes, Nephew Liu admitted it at the time, but...it doesn't explain anything."

Jian Ruyun ignored the excuse in his words, and continued with a blank expression: "My younger brother Jian Ruoshan has been investigating the death of Uncle Zuo Yi for the past few days, but he was killed by the monster of the Underworld outside Jianli City. I think someone is trying to silence him."

Chi Yan said expressionlessly, "You can ask what you want directly."

Jian Ruyun turned to look at Liu Shisui, and said, "When I asked you what you did that night and you refused to answer, we can understand that you need to be guilty in order to enter the Forest of Immortality, but now? You should be able to say it?"

Liu Shisui said calmly, "Brother Jian Ruoshan's death has nothing to do with me."

Jian Ruyun was unmoved, and said, "I'm asking where you went the night Master Zuo Yi died."

Liu Shisui said, "I don't want to answer this question."

Hearing these words, there was an uproar in the hall.

Chi Yan was silent for a while, and said: "If it's a secret matter that is inconvenient to mention in public, you can go to the quiet room and talk to me, or go to the Defeng Peak, and have Jian Lv listen to it in person. It will never be passed on to third parties."

Liu Shisui said, "No, no matter where I am, I don't want to answer."

Chi Yan stared into his eyes and said, "May I know the reason?"

Liu Shisui said, "I don't want to lie anymore."

In the past ten years, no matter in Qingshan or in the forest of immortality, he has been living in lies and deceit.

After finally getting rid of that kind of life, he didn't want to go back.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more weird.

Liu Shisui's refusal to answer this question at first showed that there was a problem, not to mention that he explained that he just didn't want to lie.

Many eyes fell on Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu, especially the latter.

Liu Shisui didn't look at Jing Jiu again.

Zhao Layue's eyelids drooped slightly, waiting for Jing Jiu to speak.

In fact, everyone in the hall was waiting for him to speak.

More than ten breaths passed, but Jing Jiu didn't speak.

Zhao Layue couldn't help but glanced at him, and was surprised to find that his expression was so calm.

Everyone in the hall was also a little surprised.

Many people have forgotten the death of Zuo Yi on Bihu Peak, but no one can forget what Jing Jiu did when Qingshan tried his sword.

Fang Jingtian looked at Jing Jiu quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

What happened to Liu Shisui was just a trivial matter.

Even if he really killed Zuo Yi, it was just a life for a life.

But if Liu Shisui can point directly at Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue, then even a small matter will become a big one.

Because they are Shenmo Peak.

The young Qingshan disciples are no longer jealous, but it doesn't mean that the older generation has no emotions.

Everything can be attributed to those three words: why?

For Master Yunxing Peak and others, if there is a problem with Shenmo Peak, does it mean that Master Jingyang's uncle's inheritance can be redistributed?

For Guangyuan Daoist and Bihufeng people who are still in retreat, can Baoshuju and more resources be returned to their own hands?

Time passed slowly, I don't know how long it had passed, Liu Shisui remained silent, and Jing Jiu was the same.

I don't know who sighed, and I don't know who said indifferently: "That's it."

"If you insist on refusing to disclose your whereabouts that night, then even if there is no evidence, I can only regard you as a suspect in this murder."

Chi Yan looked at Liu Shisui and said, "I will take you back to the Sword Prison until the trial results come out, or if you are willing to answer that question, will you accept it or not?"

Duan Liantian glanced at him in surprise, and thought to himself, if this is Jian Lv's idea, then why did you forcefully bring me back from Jianli?

Liu Shisui said: "I went to Sword Prison back then and didn't say anything. It's the same now. I think you are wasting your time."

He didn't answer directly whether to accept or not.

In fact, it is dissatisfied.

The reason why he is the current Liu Shisui is not because of these two words?

The news of Liu Shisui's entry into the Sword Prison quickly spread outside the hall.

Even in the temple, the commotion outside could be heard.

Nan Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "What a mess, let everyone disperse."
