Chapter 426

"Young man, if you keep lying like this, I will have to have you arrested and tortured." The Imperial Master shook his head and said, "His Majesty asked me to take over this matter personally. I don't want to see blood, so you'd better be honest. You still have one last chance to lie. Now I ask you again, what is your relationship with that girl Luoxue?"

Ji Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, she is my friend."

"You are lying again, and your last chance to lie is gone." The Imperial Master laughed.

"Why did the Imperial Master directly conclude that I was lying?" Ji Mo also laughed.

"Since she is your friend, let me ask you, where is your friend from?"

"A secular person."

The State Master's face was still kind, and he said: "Although Prince Sang is a lazy prince, his strength is not weak. He has always been in the early stage of Yingyue Realm. A person who can scare him so much that he can't get out of bed with just one look should have the strength of the peak of Yingyue Realm. You actually told me that she is a secular person?"

"But she is indeed..."

"Okay, it seems that I, an old man, am too kind." The State Master drank the last sip of tea, and suddenly stood up and said: "Come on, take her to the dungeon."

At this time, two golden armored guards suddenly came up and held Ji Mo's arms, trying to drag him down.

"Master State Master, in the end, you think she is a spy of the Chu Feng Empire, and her purpose is to come to the imperial capital to get information about the monsters in the Northern Territory, right?" Ji Mo said.

"What else do you want to say?"

"If she is really a spy of the Chufeng Empire, then why would she hurt Prince Sang? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to get information from Prince Sang?"

"I couldn't figure this out at first, but then I thought that maybe that girl was an important person sent by the Chufeng Empire this time.

Because I got the news that the daughter of General Li of the Chufeng Empire has joined the army and held a very important position. I think that girl Luoxue may be General Li's daughter.

And Prince Sang is a playboy. As a female soldier of General Li's family, she is naturally unwilling to sacrifice her body in exchange for information, which eventually led to the current situation."

After listening to the words of the national teacher, Ji Mo just felt that this matter was so coincidental. It just so happened that the daughter of a general in the Chufeng Empire joined the army and might sneak into the imperial capital.

Lan Shuangning happened to hurt Prince Sang again. From the perspective of outsiders, this matter might really be linked.

"In addition, your suspicion has not been cleared up. What you said was to protect her." The national teacher continued.

"She is my friend, of course I will protect her."

"Push her into the dungeon." The Imperial Master said directly without listening to him.

Then two golden-armored men pushed Ji Mo into the dungeon.

The dungeon was gloomy and damp, and there was a rotten smell in the air.

Ji Mo was tied with two chains, and a golden-armored guard stood beside him, while the Imperial Master sat on a chair in front.

"Young man, although I am not good at torture, I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I can only make my men spend more effort." The Imperial Master said with a frown.

He really didn't want to see the scene of the prisoner being tortured. He was old and liked to do things in a quiet and concise way.

Ji Mo said, "I am not a spy, and neither is Luo Xue. This is a fact, but no matter who is involved in this kind of misunderstanding, it is easier to admit than to clarify, or even impossible to clarify."

"That's right. For this kind of thing, all I can do is to arrest more people rather than let them go." The national teacher said, "But you don't have to clarify. You just need to eliminate my doubts, which will greatly reduce your suspicion. But you can't even eliminate my doubts and are still lying."

"You can ask me other questions. If what I say still doesn't make you believe, I can't do anything. It's just a coincidence." Ji Mo said.

"Okay, then I'll ask you something else," the national teacher's face began to become serious: "How was the Burning Flame Sect destroyed? According to my investigation, all the cultivators of the Burning Flame Sect went to the Tiangang Sword Sect that day. However, the Burning Flame Sect is much stronger than the Tiangang Sword Sect, but why was it destroyed in the end?"

"Does the national teacher suspect that our Tiangang Sword Sect colluded with the people of the Chufeng Empire and used the power of the Chufeng Empire to destroy them?" Ji Mo frowned and asked.

"Now I am not the only one who suspects, even all the politicians in the imperial capital think that you are colluding with the people of the Chufeng Empire. After all, you have a very reasonable motive. A thousand years ago, you were an extremely powerful sword sect, but now you have fallen to the point of being destroyed. I can also feel the raging anger. It is possible that you are forced to do something extraordinary."

Ji Mo frowned and did not speak again. This kind of thing is indeed very reasonable to analyze, and there is basically nothing that can prove innocence.

However, although it cannot be proved now, these people have no conclusive evidence to prove that the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Chufeng Empire are colluding. It is just a very simple analysis.

As for myself, it was because of the incident that Lan Shuangning frightened Prince Sang silly, which aroused serious suspicion.

"Answer my question." The national teacher said.

"Doesn't the national teacher have the answer in his heart? If I tell the truth, the national teacher will definitely say that I am lying. Will I be punished again?" Ji Mo smiled.

"Tell me the answer in your heart, and I won't punish you for the time being." The national teacher said.

Ji Mo hesitated for a while and said, "In fact, even if you don't doubt the Tiangang Sword Sect, you won't believe me if I tell you the truth about that day. But since the State Master insists on telling me, I will tell you."

"That day, the Burning Flame Sect came out in full force and wanted to destroy our Tiangang Sword Sect in one fell swoop. Originally, the Tiangang Sword Sect was no match for the other side, but suddenly that day a girl helped us, and she destroyed the Burning Flame Sect alone."

These simple words, heard by the National Master, were indeed as Ji Mo said. Even if the Tiangang Sword Sect was not suspected, no one would believe these words.

The National Master smiled helplessly: "One person destroyed the Burning Flame Sect? Alas, young man, you are still unwilling to tell the facts of that day. It seems that you are really guilty."

"Master National Master, you just asked me to tell the truth."

"Then I didn't ask you to talk nonsense, and every word you said must be credible!" The National Master finally got a little angry, but the next second his mentality became calm again. He didn't like to get angry because the quality of his practice was higher than many people.

Being angry would only ruin the quality of your own practice.

"But since I said I won't punish you, then I won't punish you." The national teacher said: "Don't even think about going out these days, just stay here honestly. When you figure it out and want to tell the truth, let the servants notify me."
