At this time, the Alchemy Sect, due to a series of shocking events that occurred in the trial area, had no choice but to end the high-profile Alchemy Selection Conference ahead of schedule. The originally exciting alchemy competition could not be held as scheduled, disappointing many alchemists who were looking forward to this event.
However, the impact of this incident on Danzong goes far beyond that. Anyone who enters the place of trial and comes out alive will be specially arranged to be temporarily included in the ranks of outer disciples. They will accept the selection of inner disciples again after the situation stabilizes. This decision undoubtedly reflects that Danzong attaches great importance to this incident and is highly responsible for the safety of the lives of its disciples.
Due to the seriousness of the matter, the entire Danzong has entered the highest level of alert. Although the guests from various major forces were full of curiosity about what happened in the trial land and wanted to stay and find out, to see if any important treasures had been discovered and whether they could get a share of the pie, they In the end, reason prevailed over curiosity. They understand that offending the powerful Dan Sect for benefits they have not yet obtained is definitely not worth the loss.
So, these guests left Danzong one after another and returned to the nearby Dancheng, where they lived temporarily and were ready for action at any time. They began to pay close attention to the developments in Danzong, looking forward to the birth of a heavy treasure. They arrived in time to get a piece of the pie.
At the same time, Danzong also began to conduct in-depth investigation and understanding of these disciples who came back alive. They hope to reveal the truth behind the incident in the Trial Ground through the oral accounts of these disciples.
Various inspectors have also become key targets of investigation.
Because they are relatively strong, it is easier to find problems in the trial place that the trial disciples cannot detect.
Gao Ming and Wu Bing, as the inspectors of this trial, are naturally within the scope of the investigation. The two of them didn't have much of a problem. At most, they were a bit suspected of practicing favoritism because Liu Qingxuan and the others came out with them. But this was all prevaricated. After all, the original duty of the inspector was to try to ensure the safety of those participating in the trial, and Liu Qingxuan and the others were dead and injured. It can be said that except for the Zhou family, Young Master Zhou and his men , the one with the most casualties.
As the inspector, Liu Jun, the strongest among the people who entered the trial area, will naturally be investigated. However, Liu Jun, the puppet possessed by the ghost doll, the fake Liu Jun, did not give others a chance to investigate at all. He left the trial place and went back to Qingfengyuan directly, and closed down his business. This moment made the investigators dumbfounded.
Qingfengyuan, as Liu Jun's residence, is the centerpiece of the Danzong's protective formation, with a unique style and special grandeur. The tall courtyard walls, antique buildings, and the closed door seem to be telling an unknown story. The elders responsible for the investigation stood outside the gate, looking at the closed door with frowns.
They knew that if they wanted to enter this mansion, they would have to force their way in unless they got Liu Jun's permission, but that would only cause greater trouble.
You must know that they are just elders, and Liu Jun is one of the three supreme elders, and also the master of the Royal Dining Hall, the Alchemy Pavilion, the Weapon Refining Hall, and the Formation Hall. Who dares to provoke him?
But they have investigated other people, and through various analyses, they have pointed the finger at Liu Jun, so they feel that the breakthrough in the matter of the Trial Ground lies with Liu Jun.
So, they could only wait humbly at the door, waiting for Liu Jun to open the door, and waiting for the truth to come out.
However, as time passed, Liu Jun still had no intention of opening the door. The elders responsible for the investigation were extremely anxious because they were under too much pressure.
On the one hand, the senior officials of Danzong were urging them to know the truth of the matter. On the other hand, the formation hall, Yushan hall and other major halls were putting pressure on them and were unwilling to let them disturb Liu Jun here.
In this way, a battle surrounding Liu Jun quietly began. Jiang Yueyang, the leader of the Dan Sect, could only order the investigating elders to leave Qingfeng Yuan and not to disturb Liu Jun again.
However, things did not end there. Liu Jun's unusual behavior aroused more people's suspicion. Everyone began to speculate, does Liu Jun have any ulterior secrets? Why is he avoiding investigation so much? All these questions made Liu Jun's situation become more and more embarrassing.
Just when everyone was helpless, a mysterious figure appeared in front of the investigators. He claimed that he had entered the Trial Grounds and expressed his willingness to provide clues to help investigators uncover the truth. This gave investigators a glimmer of hope, and they began to re-examine the clues provided by this mysterious figure, trying to find out the secrets hidden by Liu Jun.
According to a series of clues provided by this mysterious figure, everyone finally determined that Liu Jun was the one who killed everyone in the trial field, and they were sure that Liu Jun had entered the Fallen Forest and was with I have had contact with Jiang Wuwei, a legend of the Dan Sect, and he is very likely to be the core figure in the major events that happened in the trial place.
However, at a critical moment, when the elders responsible for the investigation were preparing to take action to uncover the truth of the mysterious events that occurred in the trial land, Elder Wu Ning suddenly appeared, bringing unprecedented changes to the entire situation.
Tai Shang Elder Wu Ning, as a respected being in the Dan Sect, his arrival undoubtedly brought with him a strong pressure. His purpose was clear, which was to prevent the elders from continuing to investigate further and not to disturb the noble Supreme Elder Liu Jun.
"Supreme Elder, even though Supreme Elder Liu Jun has a noble status, the prince broke the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. It is very likely that only Supreme Elder Liu Jun knows what happened in the trial place. You stopped us from going to find out. Isn’t it illegal for Elder Liu Jun to conduct an investigation?” Hall Master Xing’s tone was serious, his eyes were firm, and he was obviously determined to find the truth. Facing Xing Tiemian of the Law Enforcement Hall and the serious questioning from Hall Master Xing, Supreme Elder Wu Ning did not show the slightest bit of displeasure, because fairness and justice is the motto of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The other elder of the Law Enforcement Hall next to him also nodded in agreement. His eyes shone with determination, and he was obviously determined to find out the truth.
"Liu Jun is of great significance to Dan Zong. He doesn't see guests behind closed doors, which means he doesn't want to see you. When he is willing to open the door, it won't be too late for you to go in and explore." Elder Wu Ning's voice was firm and deep. In his words, he revealed his deep protection for Supreme Elder Liu Jun and his thoughtful consideration of the future layout of Danzong.
“But, this, this” Although Hall Master Xing is stubborn, he doesn’t want to die. He knows that Taishang Elder Wu Ning is very powerful and has a bad temper. If he continues to be ignorant, I’m afraid he will have to Elder Wu Ning slapped him several times here.
"Ahhh!" A scream suddenly echoed over the Dan Sect, shocking the entire sect's disciples to stop their practice and look up to the sky. Immediately afterwards, an unknown object fell from the sky, carrying a violent wind and wave, and hit the central square of Danzong hard.
The stone slabs in the square were smashed into pieces, soil was flying, and smoke was billowing. A bottomless hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if it were a bottomless pit, swallowing everything. The location of this big hole is exactly the same as the one Liu Jun made last time, as if someone made it deliberately.
This scene horrified the Danzong disciples present. They started talking one after another. Some turned pale with fright, while others clenched their fists in anger.
"What's going on?" Elder Wu Ning also looked shocked. The big hole Liu Jun made last time has been repaired and smoothed. How could such a situation happen again?
Could it be Liu Jun who did this? No way, Hall Master Xing has already sent people to lurk near Qingfeng Yuan. If Liu Jun came out, they would already know about it.
"The sect-protecting formation has been modified by Liu Jun. It stands to reason that no one will break in. Who did this?" Jiang Yueyang, the leader of Danzong, also had an angry look on his face. He looked at that There was a big hole, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The events that happened one after another during this period have already made him very anxious. The anger he had been suppressing couldn't be released, and this happened again.
At this time, all the masters of Danzong were mobilized. They came to the square one after another, surrounded the big hole, and stared at the big hole in the middle with wary eyes, as if they were waiting for something.
Elder Canghai also had deep eyes. She looked at the big hole and secretly guessed in her heart, who was deliberately targeting Dan Zong? How did she break through the sect-protecting formation?
"Whoosh!" A familiar figure rushed over like lightning, came to the edge of the pit, and jumped down without hesitation.
“Wait a minute!” Elder Canghai next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he immediately pulled Liu Jun back who was about to jump. Her eyes were full of worry and nervousness.
They have no idea what is going on in this big hole. Liu Jun is the treasure of the entire Danzong, and his safety can be said to be related to the fate of Danzong in the next few years. The situation down there is unclear. What if something happens if you jump down?
"What are you doing, let me go!" Liu Jun struggled, his face full of anger and confusion.
But in fact, this struggling "Liu Jun" is not the real person, but a puppet possessed by a ghost doll. This puppet only looks like Liu Jun, but its behavior and memories are all those of a ghost doll.
At this time, the real Liu Jun is still lying in this big pit. He was seriously injured and his condition is unknown. It was precisely because he felt Liu Jun's injury that Guiwa hurriedly controlled the puppet and rushed over.
This scene made everyone present nervous. They looked at Liu Jun, their eyes full of doubts, worries and uneasiness.
They don’t understand why Liu Jun wants to go down in a hurry? What was in this hole that could make him so anxious.
Tai Shang Elder Wu Ning’s eyes stayed on this abyss-like pit for a moment, and there was a sharp light in his narrowed eyes. This bottomless pit is like a crack between heaven and earth, swallowing everything. However, to an existence like Taishang Elder Wu Ning, it was nothing.
Without any hesitation, he jumped into the deep pit in a flash. His movements were graceful and light, as if he were walking on flat ground. His figure fell rapidly in the pothole, like a meteor piercing the night sky, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. (End of this chapter)
