My Master Disconnected Yet Again

At those words, not only Yu Luan, other than that Perfected Jing Yuan, the expressions of all the other Nascent Soul Elders also changed. They were indeed suspecting that the Fiendish Cultivator was still alive, but they had absolutely no meaning of pinning the accusation onto Yi Qing. After all, with his capabilities, if he really wanted to deal with Gui Yi Sect, he didn’t need to conspire with the fiendish cultivator at all.

“Shu Yi, do not spout nonsense!” Yu Luan immediately chided and hurriedly explained with cupped fists. “Pardon us Uncle-Master, we do not mean to suspect you. But this video is fishy, whether fiendish cultivator Zhong Yi is alive or not cannot be confirmed.”

“He is dead!” Yi Qing said with certainty. He even personally sent his soul into the River of Forgetfulness.

“But this video…”

“Sect Master.” Lonemoon spoke up directly. “I think Perfected Jing Yuan is right, there are so many morphing spells, who can be sure that the person in this video is real?”

“Hmm… Brother Lonemoon’s words makes sense.” Tian Yi’s eyes lit up, immediately giving his support. “Who knows this person in the Shadow Preserving Stone might be an illusion that the other party left behind, wanting to confuse us.”

“Impossible!” Shu Yi instinctively refuted.

“Why is it impossible?” Lonemoon chuckled lightly. “Did you an in-depth examination of that fiendish cultivator and can tell whether he’s real or fake at one look.”

“Of course not.” Shu Yi’s face paled, but she immediately resumed her composure. “I only… saw that the person in the video was full of heretic aura and thought that he must be the fiendish cultivator, and not like a morphed being, without a doubt, he must be the one who killed Uncle-Master Yin.”

“Heretic aura?” Lonemoon emphasized the two words.

Yet the expressions of everyone in the hall changed as they were instantly reminded of something and stared speechless at each other for a while. The suspicion that Zhong Yi was still alive was greatly dismissed, even the expression of Jing Yuan who was very aggressive in his speech earlier had changed. The residual Qi in the rubble of Dan Chen Mountain was not heretic aura, but demonic Qi, this was different from what was on that person in the video.

Which also means, the one who destroyed Dan Chen Mountain wasn’t this person in the video.

“Now that you mentioned it, it is rather suspicious.” Shu Yuan said, like he was suddenly enlightened. “Such a huge piece of Shadow Preserving Stone was crushed but only this fragment still had a recording of a short video and it even happened to have recorded the appearance of the culprit. Now that I think about it, it is indeed fishy!”

“That’s right!” The other Nascent Soul Elders also nodded. “This might be intentionally left behind by the culprit to confuse us.”

“Uncle-Master was conscientious in his thinking, we were slow-witted.”

“This culprit is crafty indeed, he must be trapped in the sect, so he came out with such a method to divert attention.”

“That’s right, that person must still be in the sect, we must step up our search.”

Shu Yi looked at everyone, her expression darkening, the little system broadcast in her could not help but sounded.

[Host, what’s going on? Why are all of them suddenly not suspecting of them now? They have yet to hand over the deviant fire?]

“Never mind.” Shu Yi wasn’t anxious at all, instead she looked relaxed and confident. “Our target wasn’t them in the first place, we were merely preparing for what’s about to happen and planting seeds of doubt in everyone’s hearts.”

[But the resentment level of original owner…]

“Don’t worry, after tonight, the resentment level will surely return to the normal level.”

As she spoke, her eyes wittingly or unwittingly shifted towards Zuo Shuming who was panting with rage beside her, scheming filled her gaze.

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Was she finally going to start something? But… could she not give them spoilers?

—————

Deep in the night, in Two Bucks Zuo’s little hut.

“Brother… Lonemoon, I’ve finished practicing my sword techniques for today.”

“Mm.”

“I… I went to the sword array too.”

“Mm.”

“I’ve practiced mental cultivation too.”

“Mm.”

“Then… is there anything that I left out?”

“No!”

“Then may I ask Brother Lonemoon.” He inhaled deeply before speaking, “What exactly are you trying to do, charging into my room in the middle of the night?” He really wanted to sleep!

Lonemoon swept a glance at the person on the bed, his eyes squinted before he took a step forward and reached out. “Two Bucks Zuo, come! Take off your clothes!”

“Wh… What!” Zuo Shuming trembled and shrank back into the corner in a flash, gripping his clothes before his chest in terror. “Br… Br… Brother Lonemoon, what are you trying to do?”

Lonemoon frowned and said, slightly annoyed. “Cut the crap, take them off quickly! If not I’ll do it!”

As he spoke, he directly went forward and grabbed the person.

“Wait, Brother Lonemoon calm down, you cannot be like this!” Zuo Shuming was entirely uncomfortable and fought to shrink into the corner while crying out loudly, “Though we’re friends, and never mind if you sometimes go too far when we’re practicing the sword, but you shouldn’t do this in the middle of the night? I… I’m not such a person!”

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

At once, two suspecting gazes landed on a certain person.

Hmm~~~~~~

“Shut up!” Lonemoon’s expression darkened. “What nonsense are you spouting!” His grip slightly loosened and Zuo Shuming managed to free himself, turning, he glared at the master and disciple duo. “What are you looking at, quickly come help!”

No!

They were more interested to know how they usually were?

Lonemoon was about to conjure a seal when Zuo Shuming continued to cry out from the side, “Brother Lonemoon, believe me, although I rejected Senior Sister Shu, I really only like girls like Miss Shen!”

“…”

Once his words fell, a stream of Sword Qi flew past Lonemoon and instantly sent the person shrinking in the corner right to the wall, with a thud, he was set deeply inside the wall.

Little b*tch, you were indeed coveting my Master this whole time!

Lonemoon turned and darted a look at the enraged Yi Qing. Psh! Would’ve been good if you acted earlier. He rolled his eyes, then went forward to dig a certain passed out person out of the hole in the wall.

He pulled open Zuo Shuming’s top and scanned closely, as expected, he saw a black patterned mark on the back of his waist. Demonic Qi could vaguely be seen circulating in it, but it seemed to be blocked by something and did not give off any aura.

“There really is one!” Lonemoon’s expression darkened, looking up at the two others, he said, “Seems like our guess was about right, Shu Yi wanted to frame Zuo Shuming for the incident of the fiendish cultivator, and she’s probably in the know about the incident at Dan Chen Mountain, who knows, it might have something to do with her.”

“The special energy on top of the demonic Qi is probably from the system, that’s why even we did not sense it.” Yi Qing said in a low voice. “Dispelling this demonic Qi is no difficulty, but I’m afraid we would alert the enemy and end up allowing the system to sense something.”

Lonemoon took a good look, his expression turning solemn. “But this demonic Qi had already been planted and it will erupt in less than three days, if we do not get rid of it in time, I’m afraid it might affect Two Bucks Zuo’s cultivation!” Shu Yi’s motive was to let everyone witness the eruption of Zuo Shuming’s demonic Qi, by then, with all eyes watching, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name regardless of how he explained.

“This foreign system cannot be rid of directly, but cannot be left around too, what should we do now?”

“Why don’t…” Shen Ying suddenly spoke up. “We bring in a system too.”

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Oh yes, don’t they have a system too?

A certain person far away in the Invincible Heavenly Palace felt a chill down his spine!
