Chapter 462: The Martial Arts Hall Is on Trial

The last time he was investigated by the Tianji Hall for the blue ox cart incident was still vivid in his mind. This time, Li Fan came to the central core area of ​​Wanxian Island again.

After passing the Strategy Hall, Li Fan continued to walk inside. He stopped in front of a building with a stone tablet with the word "Wu" engraved on it.

The moment he saw this word, Li Fan felt a solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

Several phantoms seemed to appear in front of him, and the next moment it seemed that he would be attacked by swords.

"The word is a good word, but compared with the stone with the word "Luan" I saw before, it still lacks a little flavor."

Repressing the instinctive impulse to fight back, Li Fan carefully looked at it for a long time and thought to himself.

His expression became solemn, and he strode into the martial arts hall without changing his expression.

The Strategy Hall that Li Fan was more familiar with was a lot of superimposed spaces that were accessed through the teleportation array. The main landscape of this martial arts hall was composed of many huge stones floating in the air.

Jagged rocks, like stars in the sky, are scattered in the space.

Looking at it suddenly, each stone has a different shape.

Some are like humans and animals, and some are like mountains and water.

On the boulders, you can vaguely see buildings, plants, and people flying from time to time.

But the flying stone where Li Fan is standing at this moment is very special.

It is bare and smooth like a mirror.

There are faint rays of light flowing under the stone surface. When Li Fan stepped onto the boulder, a formation was activated, and he felt that he was uncontrollably transferred to the center of the flying stone.

An inexplicable energy emerged from his feet, like an invisible shackle, binding him tightly.

At the same time, Li Fan looked up, and the flying stones around him, like stars, also underwent inexplicable changes accordingly.

Originally, Li Fan's position was an inconspicuous corner in the sea of ​​stars.

But when he was imprisoned, the light in the sky changed, like the movement of the stars.

In an instant, Li Fan seemed to have arrived at the center of the sea of ​​stars, becoming the absolute focus of this space.

Li Fan even felt that at that moment, countless eyes hidden behind the boulders were all on him.

He was truly the center of attention!

Each sight was as heavy as a mountain. If it was a cultivator who had never seen the world or had poor psychological endurance, he would probably collapse to the ground with his knees weakened on the spot.

But Li Fan was calm and composed, with no strange expression on his face.

After a moment of confrontation, a solemn voice rumbled from the sea of ​​stones, echoing continuously.

"Cultivator Li Fan, due to the [Abnormal Price of Puxian True Leaves] incident, you are now summoned to accept the investigation."

"This investigation is hosted by Cong Yunhai Martial Arts Hall, and coordinated by Cong Yunhai Tianji Hall and Buzheng Hall."

"Because the impact of this incident is very large and the nature is extremely bad, the Immortal Alliance Headquarters will send a special envoy to supervise the entire process."

"Adhering to the principles of fairness, justice and openness, the process of this investigation will not be kept confidential and will be supervised by all members of the Immortal Alliance."

...

After a long series of opening remarks, the huge voice finally ushered in the main topic.

"Cultivator Li Fan, you can defend yourself during the investigation."

"But you need to be responsible for the authenticity of every word you say. If you are found to have concealed or defrauded others, you will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances and the rules of the Immortal Alliance."

The sound entered his mind, and Li Fan nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"Now, I declare that the investigation officially begins."

"Please come to the martial arts hall, Jin Chongyun, and recount the course of this incident."

A bright light flashed, and a cultivator wearing the uniform of the Wanxian League martial arts hall appeared out of thin air above the flying stone where Li Fan was.

He was above Li Fan, looking down from above.

But he looked up at the flying stones in the sky and spoke.

"The abnormal fluctuation in the price of Puxian True Leaf this time originated from a speech made by this cultivator Li Fan sixteen days ago."

"He conveyed the message to the outside world through Jiao Xiuyuan that the price of Puxian True Leaf will skyrocket, and then..."

Jin Chongyun briefly summarized the cause and result of the incident, and as he spoke, pictures appeared on the sky.

The price fluctuation curve diagram of Puxian True Leaf Grass, the situation of cultivators frantically buying, and the appearance of countless cultivators who suffered losses after the Tianxuan Jingding incident.

"In addition, we noticed that cultivator Li Fan had already purchased a large amount of inventory before the price of Puxian True Leaves rose. He also sold it at a high point and made a lot of profit."

"In summary, we believe that cultivator Li Fan is suspected of spreading false information, taking advantage of the public's herd mentality, seeking huge profits, and maliciously undermining the stability of the Immortal Alliance." Jin Chongyun added.

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the martial arts hall.

Li Fan suddenly felt that the gazes on him were a little heavier.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would have turned pale and confessed.

Li Fan interrupted Jin Chongyun with a proud voice: "I have an objection!"

"You said I spread false information? How can you say that? Yes, I made a little money in this incident..."

Ignoring the murderous intent in Daodao's eyes, Li Fan said to himself: "But it is natural for cultivators to pursue wealth, friends, and land. I have the ability to deduce the future, and I can make a profit from it. What's wrong with that?"

"And the price trend of Puxian Zhenye is consistent with my prediction. Doesn't this just prove the accuracy of my deduction!" Li Fan said righteously.

There was a whisper in the martial arts hall.

"Quiet!"

"Regarding whether it is legitimate to use the deduction technique to make profits, please ask Elder Gongsun Qixuan of Tianji Hall to speak."

The light flashed, and Jin Chongyun disappeared from everyone's sight.

In his place, there was a young scholar who looked only in his twenties.

Although he looked quite handsome, his face was listless.

"It's him..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the other party, and nodded.

This Gongsun Qixuan was exactly the cultivator he met when he was investigated by Tianji Hall. The mysterious aura that this person inadvertently revealed made a deep impression on Li Fan.

After Gongsun Qixuan greeted Li Fan kindly, he coughed lightly and said slowly: "The views of our Tianji Hall have not changed."

"The results of deduction can be used as a reference for future actions. If not, why was our Tianji Hall established?"

"If we can all do this, there is naturally no reason to prohibit the cultivators in the alliance from doing so."

Gongsun Qixuan's words were very pertinent.

Li Fan nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, he changed the subject and stared at Li Fan with sharp eyes.

"However, I doubt whether this fellow Daoist Li Fan really has the ability to deduce the future!"

"If the matter [the price of Puxian True Leaf will skyrocket] was really deduced by him. We in Tianji Hall claim that he is not guilty."

"On the contrary..."

A cold light flashed in Gongsun Qixuan's eyes.

"If this matter was made up by him."

"We suggest that he be sentenced to death."
