Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 237 Clearing suspicion!

When the elders of the Punishment Hall learned that Ding Chen learned about Fang Jianfeng's death from Elder Li Yang, who was in charge of arresting people, they could not help but glare at each other fiercely.

That look was like pointing at the other person's nose and angrily scolding: "You idiot!"

"How important is the news of Fang Jianfeng's death? How could you reveal it to Ding Chen so easily?"

"He's a suspect!"

"If you do this, we will be very passive, okay?!"

Li Yang himself, however, turned a blind eye to these looks.

I sneered in my heart: "Haha, you just don't understand the situation, so you can talk without any pain in your waist."

"Is this kid Ding Chen an ordinary person?"

"The true disciple Wei Sanniang and the Xuanjing Alchemist Zhu Honghu are both extremely protective of him."

"Plus, we don't have any substantial evidence to prove that Ding Chen killed Fang Jianfeng."

"He is just one of many suspects, and he is the one with the lowest cultivation level and the one who is least likely to pose a threat to Fang Jianfeng..."

"In this situation, if it were you, you might flatter him even more than I do!"

"I just told him the news of Fang Jianfeng's death. This flaw is totally insignificant..."

At this time, Ding Chen on the stage was not panicked at all.

Instead, he asked with interest, "How did Elder Fang die?"

Looking at the curious boy in front of him, the interrogator slammed the table fiercely: "Shut up! I'm interrogating you now!"

Ding Chen curled his lips.

"After you accepted Fang Jianfeng's mission to [tame a monster war pet], you left the mission hall with him and another errand disciple."

"Why are you the only one back now?"

"Where are the two of them?"

"I do not know!"

Ding Chen looked innocent: "Not long after Elder Fang took us out of the menial disciple area, he suddenly said he had something important to deal with and sent me back."

Ding Chen took out the speech he had prepared long ago and said, "As for Liu Hong who went with me, he was taken away by Elder Fang."

"I was wondering about that, too. I was the one who paid the mission deposit and took on the beast taming mission..."

"Many people in the Mission Hall can testify to this!"

He looked as if he was afraid that Liu Hong would take away the credit for taming the animal.

However, if the interrogators put themselves in Ding Chen’s shoes, they would probably have the same concerns, right?

This kind of reaction is normal.

Next, the interrogator asked him a dozen questions, and Ding Chen answered them all flawlessly.

"According to what you said, when Fang Jianfeng got into trouble, you had already returned to the East Third District Hall for Menial Disciples?"

"good."

Ding Chen nodded.

"Who can testify?"

"Before I left the hall, I talked to several menial disciples and asked them for advice on how to be promoted to outer disciples."

“I think many people still have an impression of it.”

"In addition, I met Wei Sanniang and Zhu Honghu on my way to guard the mutant elemental spirit. Can they also testify?"

Upon hearing this, the people in the Punishment Hall didn't waste any time and directly ordered someone to investigate.

As for Wei Sanniang and Zhu Honghu, they met Ding Chen halfway.

Their testimony was not convincing...

"Until the results come out, you just wait over there and are not allowed to go anywhere."

The interrogator ordered in a cold voice: "Also, hand over your storage ring!"

Ding Chen said "OK" and while taking off the storage ring, he did not forget to erase the soul imprint on the ring before handing it to the other party.

The interrogator saw this and curled his lips in disdain.

In his opinion, Ding Chen was just a menial disciple at the ninth level of the Condensation Spirit Realm.

However, he himself has reached the peak of the Soul Gathering Realm!

His Xuan Xiu realm is one major level higher than the other party, and his Shenhun realm should be the same.

In this case, even if Ding Chen does not take back the soul imprint left on the [storage ring], the interrogator himself can erase it by force!

How could he have imagined that Ding Chen's level of Xuan cultivation was not high, but his spiritual strength was incredible!

Don’t mention that this interrogator is only at the peak of the Soul Gathering Realm;

Even if one is at the peak of the Xuanhai Realm, it may not be possible to forcibly erase the soul imprint on the ring.

at this time.

After noticing what was happening on Ding Chen's side, Zhu Honghu and Wei Sanniang couldn't help but secretly feel lucky.

"Fortunately, the master had foresight and gave us the [Storage Ring] that could potentially cause harm."

"Otherwise, the master would be in real danger now..."

After the interrogator and the deputy cross-checked the items in the storage ring, their expressions eased a little.

Because, there was indeed no item related to Fang Jianfeng in Ding Chen's ring space.

But the look they gave Ding Chen was even more contemptuous!

It was because Ding Chen could not even find a few low-grade spirit stones in his storage ring, and he was extremely poor.

"Humph, menial tasks are menial tasks..."

Not long after, more than a dozen errand disciples came to the sect master's hall one after another.

They could all prove that Ding Chen had once chatted with them in the menial disciples' hall.

According to the time suspected by these people, it was exactly around the time when Fang Jianfeng's [Soul-Retaining Jade] shattered.

Whether it was before or after, they could not say for sure.

But the difference is only a cup of tea.

In such a short time, it was impossible for Ding Chen to fly hundreds of miles, kill Fang Jianfeng without any injury, and then return to the hall as if nothing had happened.

This was because the sect had already investigated and found that there was no trace of the teleportation array spirit at the scene where Fang Jianfeng was murdered!

But the fact is——

After a series of deployments, Ding Chen completely wiped out the remnants of the formation left by Fang Jianfeng around the tree hole.

Unless a powerful person at the "Earth Crystal Realm" who is proficient in the Mysterious Array is present in person, it is impossible to discover the slightest abnormality at the scene!

In this way, Ding Chen had a very sufficient alibi.

So the interrogator dismissed him with an impatient look on his face: "Okay, go away."

"Take down the next suspect!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and removed the small energy light curtain that was condensed around him.

This layer of energy light curtain is used to isolate the external sounds.

If not, with more than a dozen suspects being interrogated at the same time in this huge sect master's hall, wouldn't the scene be a mess?

After Ding Chen got rid of the suspicion, he asked the interrogator anxiously: "Elder Fang is dead, so when will the mission deposit I paid before be returned to me?"

"I am a practitioner from the Punishment Hall, not from the Mission Hall."

"Go ask the Mission Hall yourself!"

"Next, next, hurry up!"

The interrogator responded casually and began to drive the person away impatiently.

"Oh, what's going on?"

Ding Chen shook his head and sighed as he walked out of the hall.

In fact, Ding Chen knew very well that from the moment he stepped into the sect master's hall, there had been a strange spiritual consciousness that had been closely watching his every word and action!

There was a cold look in his eyes...
