Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 165: Following God (Updated by the Alliance Leader Long Zhan in the Wilderness~)

"It's already the seventh day, and they're still investigating?!" Gao Xian asked.

Zhu Qianniang nodded, "I heard that the sect leader was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of this matter."

"Wang Chuan from the Law Enforcement Hall is going crazy. He has closed off Lianyun City and no one is allowed to leave. Everyone in the city is living in fear, afraid of being captured by the Law Enforcement Hall if they make a wrong move."

Gao Xian's expression became complicated as he said, "The inner sect elders are different."

He was somewhat surprised that Lianyun Sect was making such a big fuss in searching for the murderer. Normally, as long as they caught someone close to Bai Yurong, they would definitely be able to find out that Bai Yurong was a spy from the Seven Killing Sect.

Since she was a spy from the Seven Killing Sect, it wouldn't make much sense to kill Xu Lingyun! Since the person had already escaped, why bother causing such a commotion?

Gao Xian couldn't quite understand, but he didn't dare to discuss these matters with Zhu Qianniang. The situation was too tense now. He had even hidden Xu Lingyun's belongings in his storage bag and didn't dare to look at them.

While a Golden Core cultivator couldn't predict the future, it was possible that a Golden Core cultivator's divine sense could sense the entire city.

Being cautious was never excessive.

Zhu Qianniang had been called over to be questioned twice, but she didn't have the qualifications to participate in this matter.

From this, it could be seen that the sect didn't trust the outer sect elders.

Zhu Qianniang didn't know the specific situation, but as a Foundation Building cultivator and the one in charge of the Longevity Hall, she would always know some information.

She said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Let's stay at home."

Before her words had even fallen, the housekeeper, Li Niang, arrived. She whispered outside the door, "Madam, Wang, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, has sent someone to look for you."

Zhu Qianniang and Gao Xian exchanged a glance, and Gao Xian smiled, "It's nothing."

"I'll go take a look."

Zhu Qianniang said to Gao Xian, and she went to the main hall in front.

Gao Xian didn't pay much attention. If they really found out that he was the murderer, Wang Chuan would have brought people to surround him directly. There was no need for so much fuss.

What surprised him was that Zhu Qianniang came back soon.

"What happened?"

"Wang Chuan asked me to go to the Law Enforcement Hall."

Zhu Qianniang looked deeply at Gao Xian, "He also asked me to bring you along."

Gao Xian was taken aback because he had indeed been questioned by the Law Enforcement Hall due to his relationship with Bai Yurong.

But he had deliberately shown himself halfway through, even capturing Da Niu and the others for interrogation, so they wouldn't suspect him.

What did it mean for him to go together with Zhu Qianniang this time?

Gao Xian looked up and glanced around. Although the Lianyun Sect's mountain protection formation hadn't appeared, he could sense that the formation was slowly operating.

To escape from Lianyun City, one must break through this large formation.

Even if they can break the formation, why should they escape from Yun Taihao's pursuit?

To use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Gao Xian quickly came up with an idea, he couldn't afford to be hesitant. He pretended to complain and said, "There's so much to do at the Law Enforcement Hall. Let's go..."

Zhu Qiniang understood Gao Xian's meaning and said, "We have conflicts with Xu Lingyun. When you go, don't say too much."

The two changed into their law enforcement robes and carried their swords before taking a carriage to the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Law Enforcement Hall is located in the northern district of Lianyun City, with a wide open square in front of the red gate and tall red brick walls.

It was the coldest time of the year, and two teams of law enforcement cultivators stood guard in front of the gate, each as cold and hard as stone statues.

The Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for managing various affairs in Lianyun City. It is usually bustling with people coming and going.

This was Gao Xian's first time here. When he and Qiniang arrived, there were already more than ten carriages parked on the square.

"Ren Baichao, Li Yunze, Lu Lingfei, Zhang Chunjiang, Yuan Chongguang, Yun Feiying, they're all here..."

Zhu Qiniang often interacted with other Foundation Building cultivators and immediately recognized the origins of the carriages.

Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. With so many Foundation Building cultivators here, it was clear that this matter was not solely targeting him and Qiniang.

He was a little puzzled. With so many Foundation Building cultivators gathered together, why couldn't this matter be handled at the Jinxia Peak and had to be brought to the Law Enforcement Hall?

As the two entered the courtyard, they saw that there were already many people standing there.

Gao Xian recognized Zhang Chunjiang, but he didn't recognize the others. These Foundation Building cultivators each had their own unique characteristics, making them easily identifiable.

The oldest cultivator with white hair was undoubtedly Ren Baichao. The youngest woman was Yun Feiying.

It is said that this woman is related to Yun Taihao's family, but outsiders don't know the specifics.

Yun Feiying had a very dignified appearance, with bright and shining eyes and a well-proportioned figure. She stood with her sword, maintaining a certain distance from others.

She looked very young, like she was in her twenties. She had a sense of aloofness, different from Qiniang's deep coldness.

The remaining Lu Lingfei and Yuan Chongguang appeared relatively young and exuded strong vitality.

Like Zhang Chunjiang and the others, these Foundation Building cultivators in their hundreds carried an undeniable sense of aging.

Even Wang Chuan was the same.

No matter how strong their cultivation was, they couldn't violate the laws of life.

Gao Xian deeply felt this. The younger the Foundation Building, the better. Younger life force meant greater strength and enough potential and time for cultivation.

Completing the Foundation Building at an older age would deplete all potential, making it impossible to progress further.

Several Foundation Building cultivators also sized up Gao Xian. As the face of Zhu Qiniang and a formidable alchemist, Gao Xian had quite a reputation in Lianyun Sect.

However, Gao Xian rarely went out, and not many people had seen him.

Yuan Zhongguang and Lu Lingfei were both curious about Gao Xian and their attitudes were relatively friendly. When their gazes met Gao Xian's, they would nod slightly in acknowledgment.

Yun Feiying glanced at Gao Xian and immediately averted her gaze. She remained calm on the surface, but in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Gao Xian can be the face of the Foundation Building cultivators. He has the qualifications for it!"

Among the many Foundation Building cultivators present, each had their own demeanor, with Yuan Zhongguang being particularly handsome. However, compared to Gao Xian, he was clearly inferior.

In addition, Gao Xian had a tall and straight figure, almost the same height as Zhu Qiniang. His features were profound, his limbs were slender, and he stood there wearing a blue Daoist robe with a sword at his side. His elegant and graceful appearance was like a crane flying in the clouds or a jade tree in the wind.

Yun Feiying had to admit that among the many powerful and extraordinary individuals she had seen, in terms of appearance and elegance, Gao Xian was undoubtedly the first.

Although Zhu Qiniang was stronger than most men, she still had good taste!

Most of the Foundation Building cultivators had a favorable impression of Gao Xian. Regardless of his character or talent, his appearance was indeed likable.

Of course, Zhang Chunjiang definitely held ill intentions towards Gao Xian. He glanced at Gao Xian and his face became gloomy.

When Xu Lingyun had an accident, he was the first to suspect Zhu Qiniang. This woman not only had the ability, but also the courage!

What made him angry was that Wang Chuan didn't believe him and didn't arrest Zhu Qiniang for questioning.

Facing Zhang Chunjiang's malicious expression, Gao Xian nodded politely. This polite gesture from Gao Xian made Zhang Chunjiang even more uncomfortable!

If they were in a secluded place, he would slap Gao Xian to death with one palm and see how that kid would still put on airs!

Gao Xian, of course, could see that Zhang Chunjiang was very angry. In his heart, he couldn't help but laugh. This old man was getting anxious!

Unfortunately, he didn't say a word when he killed Xu Lingyun, nor did he have a chance to show his face. He let this guy die without any explanation...

Wang Chuan walked out of the hall and beckoned to Yun Feiying, "Feiying, come in."

Seeing Wang Chuan appear, everyone's expressions tightened.

Yun Feiying responded and followed Wang Chuan into the hall.

The hall had its doors open, and everyone in the courtyard could see clearly that there was a giant bronze mirror that was about the height of a person inside.

Wang Chuan had Yun Feiying stand in front of the bronze mirror, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything to do with Xu Lingyun's death?"

Yun Feiying answered straightforwardly, "No."

On the huge bronze mirror opposite Yun Feiying, her reflection could be seen. The difference was that the spiritual light around Yun Feiying's body was faintly flickering and changing.

The many Foundation Building cultivators standing in the courtyard didn't understand what the bronze mirror was, but they could roughly guess its function.

Zhang Chunjiang's face immediately showed a pleased expression. He glanced at Zhu Qiniang with some pride, thinking, "Let's see where you can run this time!"

Zhu Qiniang's expression remained indifferent, but she felt something was not right in her heart. She exchanged a glance with Gao Xian, silently asking for his opinion.

If this bronze mirror could distinguish between truth and lies, Gao Xian would be exposed if he went up there.

Gao Xian was indeed startled. His first thought was to run as far away as possible. But with so many Foundation Building cultivators present, could he really escape?

Moreover, Yun Taihao should be waiting in a nearby room.

Gao Xian did not use the Flower Spirit Mirror, which was not wise considering that so many Foundation Building cultivators were using secret techniques.

If Yun Taihao were here, his spying would also attract Yun Taihao's attention.

From Yun Feiying's situation, it seems that this bronze mirror cannot directly see a person's consciousness.

Based on his understanding of the cultivator world, only Nascent Soul True Immortals can touch a person's soul consciousness with their divine sense. Gold Core True Immortals do not have this ability.

It is easy to damage a person's soul, but it is very troublesome to probe into someone's inner thoughts.

Generally speaking, only by using powerful means to confuse a cultivator's soul can one make the cultivator reveal information.

Gao Xian dared to kill Xu Lingyun because he had an understanding of various powers possessed by cultivators.

Looking at the changes in the bronze mirror, it is more like a lie detector. It judges the truthfulness of what is said by monitoring a cultivator's mana and divine sense.

The transformation technique can easily imitate someone's divine sense, showing exquisite control over divine sense.

In addition, with Lanjie's control over the Tai Zhen puppet, he didn't believe that anyone could forcefully break through his divine sense protection and probe into his inner thoughts.

Gao Xian didn't move or speak. Yun Taihao was right beside him, and any subtle movements or expressions could be noticed by the other party.

After being together with Gao Xian for so long, Zhu Qianniang immediately understood Gao Xian's meaning when she didn't receive a response from him.

Since Gao Xian had made a decision, she would accompany him. If Gao Xian were to be exposed, it would just mean death.

With this realization, she quickly calmed down. This matter had nothing to do with her. She didn't take action, wasn't the mastermind, and didn't even know the process of what happened. This test wouldn't trouble her.

Zhu Qianniang looked at the other Foundation Building cultivators again. The inner sect elders all had calm expressions, but the outer sect Foundation Building cultivators didn't look too good.

Obviously, they didn't expect this kind of test and were very resistant to it.

Wang Chuan, who was in the hall, asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any connection with the Seven Kill Sect?"

Yun Feiying said firmly, "No."

Wang Chuan nodded politely to Yun Feiying and said, "You may leave, the next person can come in."

Yun Feiying came out of the hall and her gaze swept across the faces of the many Foundation Building cultivators. She noticed that several outer sect elders didn't look good.

She sneered in her heart. These outer sect elders all had ulterior motives. At least they weren't that loyal to the sect!

Wang Chuan's voice resounded from inside, "Gao Xian, come in."

Everyone's gaze fell on Gao Xian, and Zhang Chunjiang couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

Gao Xian nodded to Zhu Qianniang and calmly stepped into the hall, coming in front of the huge bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror reflected Gao Xian's entire body clearly.

Gao Xian looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly had a somewhat inappropriate thought: This guy looks handsome!

He couldn't help but laugh. The handsome and upright man in the mirror also smiled at the same time, with a faint glimmer of light shining in his eyes, like stars.
