Chapter 246 Interrogation
He took the opportunity to pick up the disciple on the ground and put him in a safe area, then immediately went to rescue other disciples, but he was unable to save them all.
Jiang Yuxia had already collapsed to the ground, holding an open square box in her hand. The blood had completely drained from her face, and the screams outside were irritating her eardrums.
She bit her lip, trying her best to suppress her fear, took out her sword and walked out. The sword energy crisscrossed and pushed back the black line a little. She pulled up the injured disciple.
The further she walked, the heavier her heart became. The scene before her almost made her faint, and her fingertips dug deeply into her palms.
Tears kept sliding down her face, and she was just waving the sword mechanically in her hand. In a trance, a group of black lines were about to escape into her body.
Fang Hean's eyes sharpened, he flew over to pull the person away, but when he looked down he was stunned. The girl in front of him had tear marks on her face and was trembling all over.
"Junior sister, what happened? Why are you crying like this?" He asked in a lowered voice.
These things happened in just a moment. Soon the sect leader arrived with several elders and took control of the situation.
Suifeng's expression was extremely cold, his spiritual power surged, and he formed seals with his hands. A shuttle emitting golden light flew into the sky. The golden light covered the countless black lines, and they were completely absorbed and moved to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Looking at the chaos below, Suifeng's eyes became colder and colder, and he waved his sleeves, and his voice spread to every place through spiritual power.
"Silence! Seal off Spiritual Medicine Peak. All disciples are not allowed to enter or leave without permission."
As the chief disciple, Ji Yanli was naturally present at this time. He looked at Li Nian and Chu Xu who had hurried over, frowning and scolding them.
"Go back, no one is allowed to enter."
Li Nian's heart was pounding. She stood on tiptoe to look around, but it was too chaotic here and she couldn't find Jiang Yuxia at all.
She whispered, "Brother Ji, please let me in. I can help."
Ji Yanli glanced at the two of them coldly, unmoved at all. "If there is any need, the Sect Master will summon you. Now go back."
Li Nian looked inside unwillingly, gritted his teeth, ignored Ji Yanli's pressure, and rushed in.
But she was a step too late. The place had already been cleared, and the injured disciples were taken to a place for treatment, but Elder Kong Qing and his disciples were not there.
"Senior brother, can you tell me, where were Yu Xia and the others taken?" She turned and asked Ji Yanli.
The little girl in front of him was so anxious that she forgot her etiquette. She grabbed Ji Yanli's hand and looked at him anxiously.
Because of Yue Jian, Ji Yanli and Li Nian met quite often and were quite familiar with each other. In the end, he couldn't bear to remind him.
"The Sect Master has ordered a thorough investigation into this matter. Junior Sister Jiang and the others were probably taken to the main hall."
Li Nian's eyes lit up, and after thanking Ji Yanli, he hurried to the main hall.
At this moment, the air in the hall seemed to be frozen. The heavy pressure made it difficult for the people inside to breathe and they lowered their heads.
A square box was presented by a disciple. The ancient evil energy inside it that had not yet dissipated made everyone's face look frosty.
Danyun and the others looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Jiang Yuxia, who was standing below, turned pale. Facing everyone's questions, she couldn't say a word.
"This box was found in your yard. The ancient evil spirit escaped from here. How do you explain it?" Suifeng's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Jiang Yuxia was still in shock. She just stared at the box blankly and shook her head. "I don't know. This box is mine, but I don't know why there is ancient demonic energy in it."
"There are several restrictions on this box. If you said you didn't know, how did you open it?"
The hall fell silent again. Elder Kong Qing above was so anxious that he grabbed the corner of his clothes. He couldn't bear to see his beloved disciple being frightened like that, so he couldn't help but speak.
"Even if the box belongs to Xia'er, it doesn't necessarily mean she's colluding with the demons. It could be someone else's false accusation."
Suifeng's cold and majestic gaze swept across Elder Kongqing, his brows furrowed as he said calmly, "The person implicated in this matter is your direct disciple. According to the sect's rules, you are not allowed to interfere in the investigation of this matter."
Elder Kong Qing's eyes widened, and he was about to say something, but Chi Yang held him down and signaled him with his eyes to calm down, otherwise he would not even have the chance to stay here.
During this gap, Jiang Yuxia wiped the tears from her face and quickly sorted out her thoughts. She didn't want to embarrass her master.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, Elder, I was originally refining the elixir in the alchemy room tonight. After discovering that I was missing an herb, I went inside to look for it."
"As far as I can remember, the herbs were in this box. I never imagined this would happen the moment I opened it."
She bowed and said firmly, "Master, this disciple was definitely not responsible. Please investigate."
Suifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping the box lightly with his fingertips, his eyes scrutinizing. "I'll believe what you said. There are three restrictions on the box, and the last one is a demon restriction. How did you manage to open it?"
Jiang Yuxia forced herself to calm down, frowning as she recalled what happened. She did encounter resistance when she opened the box, but after the second try, she opened it easily.
She didn't think much about it at that time, but now she felt that everything was wrong. Even the first two restrictions were not something she could open.
It was only at the moment when she opened the box that someone hid in the dark and quietly removed the restriction. Thinking of this possibility, her whole body froze.
"Someone must have been to my room. I didn't open it. That person was hiding in my room and had calculated the time long ago. As soon as I got the box, he would start to remove the restriction."
After a moment of silence, Fang Hean stepped forward and said
"Junior sister, you can't be a demon clan spy. If that were the case, she would have escaped long ago after releasing the ancient demonic energy and would not have come out to save those disciples."
Dan Yun blinked her beautiful eyes, stood up and said, "What you said is just your one-sided statement. Do you have any evidence?"
Jiang Yuxia pursed her lips slightly. She only reacted now. It was already good enough that she could figure out these things, not to mention that she was brought here as soon as the incident happened.
She doesn't have time to find any evidence.
Elder Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "Spiritual Medicine Peak has been sealed off. Yan Li has taken people to investigate. Let's wait and see the results."
Suifeng and the others looked at each other without saying a word, but the solemnity on their faces could not be concealed. The demons had already extended their hands to their sect.
The law enforcement elder pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Although there's no definitive conclusion, Jiang Yuxia's suspicion cannot be cleared. He will be detained for now."
Jiang Yuxia's body stiffened. Disciples suspected of treason were not imprisoned on the Cliff of Repentance, but at the bottom of the cliff, where it was dark and the spiritual power was sealed.
