The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 746 - 415: Unable to Distinguish Right from Wrong_2

Jiu Mo indifferently "Hmm"ed and said, "You make a good point. However, the criminal has yet to confess, and the fact that you can say so much already casts a significant suspicion on you. You should still accompany Hall Master Lian for a visit later." She watched as the girl in front of her incredulously widened her eyes at her, and the displeasure in her heart dissipated a fair bit. Initially, this little banshee spoke eloquently, with a face full of confidence, which she detested the most, as it was the spitting image of that person’s expression. She couldn’t wait to see her take a nasty fall and learn that there are always people better than her!

Feeling a sense of satisfaction, she shifted her gaze away without noticing the flash of sharpness in the eyes of the person before her. The Qingluan at her side quickly stepped forward, wanting to say something, but was stopped by her raised hand and reluctantly returned to her original position.

Ning Xiaoxian was certain that while there might be nothing wrong with Jiu Mo’s brain, she definitely had something against her and disliked her. How odd and peculiar! Granny had only stayed in the Hidden Stream for a month and had only met her twice, so why had she taken an instant disliking to her? Ning Xiaoxian firmly believed that while there might be love without reason, there would never be hatred without cause. This Poison Phoenix, what could be the reason for her hostility? Could it be that she was going through menopause?

As for being thrown into prison, she was not scared. Her body was infused with Divine Power, and most shackles meant to lock down demons’ Spiritual Power were ineffective against her. Besides, she currently possessed Giant Strength, and her objective for staying in Hidden Stream had been met. If worse came to worst and they parted on bad terms, she could just slip away. It was unlikely that they could keep her here. Of course, her biggest reliance was still Langya—he was obsessed with escaping the Ba Snake Mountain Range, how could he not protect the only person who knew the way out?

This was also the fundamental reason why she dared speak up and plead on behalf of the Pill Masters. To her, the current Hidden Stream, although still like a mountain, was no longer insurmountable.

Her thoughts were racing, and just as the word "okay" was about to leave her lips, someone suddenly laughed loudly outside the hall and interjected, "What this young girl said about the explosive poison is true! She is right; if everyone in the know is to be detained, then I should also pay a visit to the famous Hidden Stream prison."

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed, except for Jiu Mo, who let out a low grunt, clearly unhappy.

At the end of the elegantly winding tree stairs, two people slowly came into view. One of them was the Sect Leader Langya, who had been absent; it turned out that he had gone to welcome a guest; the other was a man with lofty stature, sporting a finely crafted headdress, and flowing sleeves. The man’s features were exceedingly ordinary—forehead, nose, mouth, all lacked any remarkable aspect. However, no one could look away once their gaze fell upon his face.

"His eyes are truly captivating," Ning Xiaoxian muttered breathlessly to the resident of the God Demon Prison.

Changtian snorted angrily, with a hint of jealousy, "Stop looking!"

The man’s eyes seemed to contain the starlight from above and the world’s elegance. With just one glance at the crowd, it was as if he displayed the endlessly brilliant starry rivers and the inexhaustible neon lights, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of the world and in the blink of an eye, left it all behind. All those peach blossom eyes, phoenix eyes, in front of this pair of eyes, are clichéd to the extreme.

Jiu Mo’s mouth turned downwards, but Langya, seemingly oblivious to her expression, said to everyone, "This is Mr. Gongshu Zhao, Hall Master of Qianjin Hall."

The crowd suddenly understood, and their gaze towards Gongshu Zhao immediately changed. The explosive poison was a trick tool created by Qianjin Hall, and as its Hall Master, he certainly had the most authority to speak on the matter. If he said Ning Xiaoxian’s words were true, then they were undoubtedly true. The attempt to imprison her came to a halt because Gongshu Zhao was also in the know, yet could Hidden Stream really detain him as well? It should be noted that he was brought here alongside Lord Langya!

Qianjin Hall was an interesting Sect; although it sold all kinds of trick tools, generally, victims do not seek retribution from them no matter how they used these devices. The same was true for the members of Hidden Stream; despite the explosive poison originating from Qianjin Hall, and with the Hall Master himself present, not one person confronted him! Having witnessed this unfair treatment, Ning Xiaoxian could not help but lament that rules indeed serve to highlight the existence of privilege, even within Hidden Stream.

She also understood. No wonder this man was blessed with such a pair of eyes. The creator of famed trick tools throughout the world must possess what kind of cleverness, wisdom, and intelligence? Such a spirit, when viewed through the windows of the eyes, naturally shines with lucidity that dares not be faced directly.

"Not long ago, I heard that Lord Langya intercepted an acquaintance of mine on the outskirts of the Ba Snake Mountain Range, and I specially came to inquire about it. I didn’t expect that upon my arrival in the heart of Bashe Forest, I would hear the sound of explosions. It’s been a while since I last visited, and right upon arrival, I encountered a rare spectacle that happens once every few thousand years." After finishing his words, Gongshu Zhao also turned towards her, offering a slight smile.

To this person who had lifted her siege, she naturally developed a favorable impression quickly. But what did he mean by "acquaintance"? Seeing him enter alongside Langya, perhaps he had come to investigate the situation after receiving news of Yin Jiuyou’s clone’s demise. Yes, there must be some past grievances between Gongshu Zhao and Yin Jiuyou; otherwise, he wouldn’t make the effort to collect the Divine Thunder to cope with this unparalleled demon.(To be continued.
