The Query Heaven Mirror showed Mingyue City. Then, the scene changed, and the City Lord’s mansion appeared.
At that time, the City Lord’s mansion was decorated with lanterns and colourful banners, full of festive joy.
Outside the door, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered, all welcoming the city lord’s son, Jiang Yiyang, home.
In no time, Jiang Yiyang appeared. He rode on horseback, full of high spirits.
Jiang Feng led a group of people and stood at the door. Seeing Jiang Yiyang return, he smiled and said something.
Granny Yin Hua understood that the sixth elder was using the Query Heaven Mirror to trace back through time and space, recreating the scene from that day.
Her eyes were fixed firmly on the Query Heaven Mirror.
Granny Yin Hua was very eager to know who the murderer really was.
Dragon Bodhisattva lay on the ground and also raised his head to stare at the Query Heaven Mirror.
Suddenly, a wooden whip appeared out of nowhere and struck Jiang Yiyang, who was riding on the horse’s back, sending him tumbling to the ground.
“The murderer has come!”
The sixth elder said this and continued to infuse true qi into the Query Heaven Mirror. In the next second, a foot appeared from thin air and stepped on Jiang Yiyang’s head with lightning speed.
“Bang!”
Jiang Yiyang’s head exploded.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the mirror. He wore white clothes and held a wooden whip. His handsome face bore an innocent, harmless smile.
“It is him!”
“How can it possibly be him?”
Dragon Bodhisattva and Granny Yin Hua spoke at the same time. Both looked shocked, their faces full of disbelief.
“You know the murderer?” the sixth elder asked.
“He came from the secular world.” Dragon Bodhisattva said through gritted teeth, “It was him and a stinking Daoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain who tricked me. That is why I was caught.”
Granny Yin Hua continued, “I met that boy once in Sifang City. I saw that he was sensible. Young as he was, he already had Golden Core cultivation, and he was a contributor to capturing Dragon Bodhisattva. So I wanted to take him as my disciple and gave him my personal token.”
“Oh no, that boy is the murderer who killed Jiang Yiyang. What if he misuses my token?”
“Senior brother, I must return to Sifang City and capture that boy.”
The sixth elder said, “Do not rush. Let us watch first. With that boy’s cultivation, he should not have been able to kill Jiang Feng.”
Then, everyone continued to stare at the Query Heaven Mirror.
In a short while, the scene changed again. Ye Qiu struck out with both fists, exploding countless soldiers. Immediately after, Mingyue City activated its city protection grand array.
“Strange. Since Jiang Feng activated the city protection grand array, why did it not trap that boy?”
The sixth elder felt somewhat puzzled.
Then, he saw Ye Qiu say something to Jiang Feng. Suddenly, Ye Qiu made a pose as if embracing the heavens.
“Boom!”
The clouds churned in all directions, and heavenly tribulation descended.
In an instant, the City Lord’s mansion was enveloped by the heavenly tribulation.
Seeing this scene, the sixth elder was so angry that he cursed, “That bastard. I wondered how he could kill Jiang Feng. It turns out he summoned heavenly tribulation. Such a vicious method deserves a thousand cuts and ten thousand scrapes!”
In the Query Heaven Mirror, thunder filled the sky, and the heavenly tribulation showed no sign of ending.
However, the image gradually became blurry.
The sixth elder infused more true qi into the Query Heaven Mirror. At once, the image became clear again.
Ye Qiu carried the heavenly tribulation as he pursued and killed Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng did not dare to clash head-on and fled desperately.
Yet, Ye Qiu grew braver as the fight went on. In the end, no one knew what Ye Qiu said to those soldiers, but suddenly, several thousand soldiers turned against him on the battlefield and charged at Jiang Feng without regard for their lives.
“I truly do not know what trick that boy used to make the soldiers turn their blades on Jiang Feng. It is unbelievable.”
Granny Yin Hua felt chills all over her body. She said, “I misjudged him. I never thought that boy’s mind could be so malicious.”
The sixth elder’s face was also dark and overcast.
In the Query Heaven Mirror, the scene continued to change. After Jiang Feng killed several thousand soldiers, he fought desperately against Ye Qiu.
Jiang Feng used every means he had and summoned several treasures, but he could not block Ye Qiu at all.
The sixth elder narrowed his eyes and stared at the God Beating Whip in Ye Qiu’s hand. He said, “That wooden whip is no ordinary thing.”
Suddenly, a large cauldron appeared in the scene, spanning across the sky. Even when tracing back through time and space, the sixth elder felt a surge of imperial aura.
“A divine artifact!”
The sixth elder’s heart shook violently, his face full of shock.
He had never imagined that Ye Qiu possessed a divine artifact!
Just then, with a “crack”, a fissure suddenly appeared on the Query Heaven Mirror.
“Oh no.” The sixth elder quickly stopped infusing true qi and retrieved the Query Heaven Mirror. Looking at the crack on the mirror’s surface, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
This was a saintly artifact, after all. To damage it like this was too regrettable.
The sixth elder endured the heartache and put away the Query Heaven Mirror. He asked, “What is that boy’s name?”
“I do not know.” Dragon Bodhisattva answered.
Granny Yin Hua said, “I did ask that boy. He said his name is Bai Yujing.”
“He is not Bai Yujing.” Dragon Bodhisattva said, “Bai Yujing is my junior. I have met him before. That boy is definitely not Bai Yujing.”
“Damn it. I never thought the Mingyue City incident was his doing, and he even framed me for it.”
“Hmph. When I see you again, I will definitely kill you!”
Dragon Bodhisattva thought of how, in Sifang City, he had trusted Ye Qiu and the long-browed immortal so much. In the end, not only was half a Saintly Array Pattern taken from him by deception, but he was also ambushed. He was so angry that he wanted to spit blood.
“Fellow countryman, fellow countryman, a stab in the back.”
“You lot are good. Not only did you stab me, but you also dumped a black pot on me.”
“Hmph. When I encounter you again, I will chop you into pieces.”
Dragon Bodhisattva swore inwardly.
Granny Yin Hua said angrily, “I have read countless people in my life, yet I was deceived by a young boy. Despicable!”
The sixth elder sat in his chair, his face alternating between dark and light, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Senior brother, I will go to Sifang City now and capture that boy.” Granny Yin Hua could not wait to catch Ye Qiu immediately, then torment him severely and make his life worse than death.
The sixth elder said, “That boy may not have high cultivation, but he is very cunning. He might have already left Sifang City by now.”
Granny Yin Hua said, “Since he lingered in Sifang City, he must have left some traces.”
“I will go to Sifang City and investigate. Perhaps I can find that boy.”
“In any case, no matter where he flees, I will drag him back.”
Dragon Bodhisattva originally wanted to say that Ye Qiu had a complete Saintly Array Pattern, but thinking that half of it was his own, he did not dare to speak, fearing the sixth elder’s wrath.
“I will go to Sifang City now.” After Granny Yin Hua finished speaking, she was about to leave.
“Wait a moment.” The sixth elder pointed at Dragon Bodhisattva and instructed Granny Yin Hua, “Handle him before you go.”
Dragon Bodhisattva said in terror, “Elder, the matter has been investigated and cleared. It has nothing to do with me. Why do you still want to kill me?”
“Nothing to do with you?” The sixth elder snorted coldly, “There are tens of millions of cultivators in the world. If it truly had nothing to do with you, why would that boy, after killing people, frame anyone else but you specifically?”
“Yin Hua, throw him into Soul Mourning Cliff!”
Granny Yin Hua was eager to go to Sifang City to capture Ye Qiu and did not want to waste time. She picked up Dragon Bodhisattva and headed straight for Soul Mourning Cliff.
