Chapter 613 Mo Chi’s EnlightenmentOn the first night alone, a male concubine died, and she was one of the strongest-ranked male concubines.

This made Wen Ruanyu angry and hopeful of finding the traitor. He found Ning Zhuo and invited him to go with him: "Jiao Ma, your plan is really effective. But on the first night, the traitor was forced to take action."

Ning Zhuo's expression was calm, and he shook his head slightly: "Let's investigate first."

He took action the first time, is he really a traitor?If it was really a traitor who did it, then he must be certain or confident in his own methods.

But if not, then this investigation will not achieve our original goal.

Wen Ruanyu was slightly stunned when she saw Ning Zhuo's expression, and asked, "Jiao Ma, you seem to have other ideas?"

"I'm not optimistic about this." Ning Zhuo stated his thoughts.

Wen Ruanyu was stunned again, and then sighed: "Although the appearance is different, your reaction is quite similar to that of my Senior Sister Meng."

This time it was Ning Zhuo's turn to be stunned.

Wen Ruanyu didn't notice Ning Zhuo's abnormality. He raised his head and sighed, "I've been thinking about Senior Sister Meng all the time lately."

"It must be because this wave of ghosts has brought too much pressure to me!"

"Especially since Sangle Youling was killed, I am always full of doubts and have to think a lot."

"So, I always wonder in my heart, if Senior Sister Meng was still alive, what would she do? She didn't have the help of a divination cultivator at the time, so why was she always so wise and courageous?"

Ning Zhuo comforted Wen Ruonyu. After a few words, he deliberately said, "Senior Wen, you are different from the Lord of Baizhi City and these citizens. You are from the Wanxiang Sect."

"If the White Paper Immortal City is destroyed and you have to retreat, I don't think the sect can find any fault with you."

Wen Ruanyu stared at Ning Zhuo, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "You don't know how many years I have been stationed in this fairy city."

"At first, it was just because of Senior Sister Meng's request. But as time went by, my feelings for this city became deeper and deeper, and I couldn't bear to give it up."

"You may not know that the Lord City Lord's real body is in trouble. Even if there is a paper doppelganger, it will not come out unless it is a major event."

"On weekdays, I am responsible for the internal affairs of the city, and Tie Guzheng is responsible for the defense of the city."

"Many of the constructions of this fairy city originated from my ideas, and were even done by me!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the ink pool. Although it was arranged by Senior Sister Meng, it has been damaged more than ten times so far. I have to mobilize manpower to repair and improve it."

Ning Zhuo felt a little strange: "Although I am not a Confucianist, I know a little bit about it. Is this ink pool so easy to damage?"

Wen Ruanyu revealed the secret: "As the saying goes, the land and water nurture the people, the ghosts thrive here, they are dark by nature, brave and aggressive, just like barbarians. At first, they were very difficult to manage and could hardly coexist peacefully with humans."

"The White Paper Fairy City you see, and even the current cultural landscape of this dark and gloomy black swamp wetland, are all the work of Mochi."

"We mixed the ink in the ink pool and made it the main source of drinking water for the entire city and even the surrounding villages and towns."

"The influence of time and space has made the ghosts more civilized, reducing their vicious nature and becoming gentle and refined. Our schools and other schools can educate the ghosts, teach them a lot of knowledge, and help them reproduce."

"But the ghost tribe naturally didn't want to be changed by such external forces. So, for a long time, they tried every possible way to destroy the ink pool, and they succeeded many times."

After hearing this, Ning Zhuo had a new question: "So, before Senior Meng... came to this city, the appearance of Baizhi Xiancheng was completely different from what it is now?"

Wen Ruanyu nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"

"I just came to this city with Senior Sister Meng. There are few people here and it's very desolate. A place like this is close to the underworld. The yin energy is too heavy. There are also attacks from ghosts. Who would come here normally?"

"Although there are human cultivators who are the main ghost tribe, their scale is smaller, and because of their sinister nature, they are strictly guarded and monitored by human cultivators, and most of them serve as slaves."

"Sister Meng is naturally kind and generous. She treats everything equally, which is something I admire most."

"She came here not long ago. After she understood the situation, she told us that she had a plan to revitalize Baizhi Xiancheng."

Ning Zhuo's mind moved, and he blurted out: "Do you want to borrow the power of the ghost clan?"

Wen Ruanyu laughed: "That's right."

"The ghost tribe is half yin and half yang, which is a natural fit for this wetland."

"They are far more adapted to this land than humans. They can even enter the main road of the Nether Dragon River and explore the underworld!"

"But their population and strong men are firmly controlled by the human race. And the human race is so scarce that there is not enough manpower even for basic governance of this place. In Sister Meng's opinion, this is a huge waste!"

"So, she consulted us for a solution, and finally chose the Confucian method, building an ink pond to educate the ghosts in the wetland, so that they can get rid of their barbaric ways and become the real main force in governing this wetland."

Ning Zhuo immediately felt respectful: "This Senior Meng is amazing. The land and water nurture the people, and she actually changed the water here, and then changed the cultural landscape of the entire area. Such vision and pattern make people admire from the bottom of their hearts."

"Of course." Ning Zhuo looked at Wen Ruanyu again, "Without Senior Wen's persistence and dedication, there would be no educational achievements like the current Baizhi Xiancheng."

Wen Ruanyu was very happy to see Ning Zhuo praising Meng Yaoyin and herself, "It is precisely because of Mo Chi's long-term teaching that we have been able to reduce the restrictions on the ghost tribe, vigorously support and develop the ghost population, and use them as labor to build the entire Yinchao Black Swamp Wetland."

"I presided over the government affairs and developed a large number of villages and towns around the Immortal City. These villages and towns are based on a few human cultivators, and the ghost tribe is the main population."

"Now, our influence has covered 40% of the wetlands."

"This time, Baizhi Xiancheng was in danger of being destroyed. At the city lord's command, so many troops came to support us. I am really pleased."

"On the one hand, this is indeed a huge inducement from the city lord. But on the other hand, it also shows that our teachings have penetrated into people's hearts. Whether it is the human race or the ghost race, they all have their hearts set on our White Paper Immortal City."

This conversation gave Ning Zhuo a new understanding of the history of Baizhi Fairy City.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the crime scene.

Shen Bing's body remained where it was, deliberately motionless.

Wen Ruanyu looked at Ning Zhuo, and Ning Zhuo stretched out his hand, motioning him to go first.

Wen Runyu then used magic to conduct a detection and soon got the result.

"Shen Bing has two fatal wounds."

"One is the neck, and the other is the heart."

"Although his neck is still connected and there are no external injuries, his life force has been completely severed, which is equivalent to decapitation."

"And in his heart, there was a dark iron needle, which was also the cause of his death."

Ning Zhuo saw that Wen Ruanyu looked strange, and he couldn't help but think: "Senior Wen, it seems that you have some guesses?"

Wen Ruanyu sighed: "That's right."

"The injury caused by this spell is so strange that it immediately reminded me of Chen Sui's wheat-cutting skill."

"And the Dark Iron Heart-piercing Needle is Sun Tiesheng's famous magic weapon."

Shen Bing, Chen Sui and Sun Tiesheng are the three strongest monks in Zhuangyang Academy. Now Shen Bing is dead, and the clues of the murderer point directly to Chen Sui and Sun Tiesheng. This investigation result makes Wen Ruanyu a little at a loss.

Ning Zhuo fell into silence for a moment.

After a moment, Wen Ruanyu sighed bitterly and broke the silence: "You know what? I don't even dare to let them walk under the Su Wen Pan Xin Juan."

"Su Wen Bo Xin Juan" can detect whether others are lying. Once detected, the person's life will be cut off. It is very powerful.

Ning Zhuo also sighed: "I strongly suspect that this is a traitor behind the scenes." "This is a chain of plots."

"It is very likely that both Chen Sui and Sun Tiesheng are not clean and were probably instigated to do this."

"By then, if we find out the truth, should we punish them? Killing for a life is the most straightforward answer."

"If we do this, we will be fulfilling the traitor's wish. It is as if he uses us to eliminate Chen Sui and Sun Tiesheng."

“If we don’t do this, how can we convince the public?”

"So, no matter what choice we make, it will cause the people of Baizhi Xiancheng to lose their hearts."

Wen Ruanyu nodded: "Although there is no evidence, I agree with your judgment, Jiao Ma."

"After fighting this traitor for several rounds, I admire him more and more."

"This man's fighting ability and strategy are both top notch."

"Jin Yangzi is dead, Shen Bing is also dead. If we kill Chen Sui and Sun Tiesheng, the main force of Zhuangyangyuan will be lost."

"This will deal a huge blow to the morale of the entire Zhuangyang Institute."

After saying this, the two fell into silence again.

The traitor's tactics were so good that Ning Zhuo and Wen Ruanyu were both embarrassed. They knew there might be clues, but they didn't dare to investigate further.

This is because both of them always consider the overall situation when doing things.

Further investigation would be tantamount to self-mutilation.

Ning Zhuo clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Our plan was to use the overall situation of the Golden Swallow Fork and Lord Wangchuan to pressure him. The traitor must have seen through it. So, he used the same method to force us in return."

"Awesome, awesome!"

Wen Ruanyu frowned: "What should I do now?"

Ning Zhuo thought for a while and spread his hands: "I choose to keep silent. Rashly investigating the case would be like aiding the enemy."

“But we still have the initiative.”

"As long as the Spiritual Contract Refining Treasure Array is not withdrawn, the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion will put pressure on the traitor."

"Next, we will strengthen our surveillance of Chen Sui and Sun Tiesheng. I don't believe he can succeed again and again without revealing any flaws!"

Wen Ruanyu thought for a moment, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It can only be like this."

Chen Sui's residence.

"What?!" Chen Sui glared angrily and tore up the Feixin in his hand. "Who is imitating my wheat harvesting skills? They are trying to frame me!"

"Shen Bing is dead, and the biggest rival for the Golden Swallow Fork is gone. The one who could possibly frame me is Sun Tiesheng."

"The Sun family... is a wealthy family after all. It is not something that a lonely person like me can compete with. They have prepared a technique and people to practice with them."

"The needle I stole is left inside Shen Bing's body. When will Wen Ruanyu capture Sun Tiesheng?"

Sun Tiesheng's residence.

After the servant finished his report, Sun Tie slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Damn Chen Sui! I lost the heart-piercing needle. I remember it very clearly. I lost it after the sparring with him."

"I didn't expect that our tribe was so well prepared. Even the elders of the family modified the wheat harvesting skills, which allowed him to pass himself off as a real person."

"Let the family think of another solution!"

"Now, Chen Sui and I have the greatest hope in the entire Zhuangyang Courtyard. If I can win the Golden Swallow Fork, I will definitely give back to the family in a big way."

The servant hesitated: "Shen Bing has just died, and we still want to take action. This is tantamount to committing a crime against the wind, sir."

Sun Tiesheng laughed loudly and said fearlessly: "It is not something that ordinary people can do to make Jin Yancha recognize its master. Jin Yangzi and Shen Bing are both dead, leaving only Chen Sui, an orphan."

"I am also the strongest contender. Right now, the Immortal City is facing a disaster caused by a tide of ghosts, and the underworld's Yin army is stationed nearby, eyeing me covetously. Do they dare to attack me? Aren't they afraid that the Golden Swallow Fork will have no new owner?"

Ning Zhuo returned to his residence and began to practice again.

The successive use of four Yuanying-level treasures has allowed Ning Zhuo's soul strength to approach the level of 800,000 souls. This is an incredible improvement!"Boss, you really don't want to use this method to cultivate your soul? If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again." Ning Zhuo couldn't help it and persuaded Sun Lingtong by threatening a person's life.

Sun Lingtong refused again without hesitation: "Xiaozhuo, please stop trying to persuade me. I am stuck in the final stage, close to the golden elixir stage. It won't be too late to do this hard work after I reach the golden elixir stage!"

"whee."

"Look who's here? It's your girlfriend."

Ning Zhuo was a man whose life depended on it, so he naturally knew Sun Lingtong's situation.

He is now in the camp of the Yin soldiers, but close to the outside.

With the help of Sun Lingtong, Ning Zhuo saw a group of cultivators taking advantage of the night to rush directly into the camp. He was secretly surprised that this group of people was quite brave.

“Follow me!!!” Qing Yan took the lead.

His daughter Qing Chi followed closely behind.

Before this, the Baizhi Immortal City would only send out a small group of troops to eliminate the scouts and other dispatched teams of the Wangchuan Yin Army, and had never made a direct attack on the camp.

Therefore, the Wangchuan Yin Army was caught off guard by the attack.

By the time they gathered their troops and launched a counterattack, Qing Yan and the others had already made a big fuss and then retreated.

Behind Qingchi Palace, he pushed with both palms, and a wave of green fire erupted.

Under the green fire, countless ghost soldiers screamed and all disappeared.

Sun Lingtong was surprised when he saw this scene: "Xiaozhuo, your girlfriend is quite capable. This move alone is already at the Golden Core level!"

On the way to triumph, Qing Chi sent a message to his father: "Dad, don't forget, if I fight with all my strength, you will support me to find Jiao Ma again."

Qing Yan snorted coldly: "I'm talking about the merits of standing firm!"

Qing Chi rubbed his hands together and said, "It's just a small achievement, I'll take it, it's not difficult!"

That night, the Yin army of Wangchuan passed by in anxiety.

It is better to pass away in selfless practice.

The Zhuangyang Courtyard passed in peace, and then in the early morning, it suddenly became chaotic.

"Dead, dead!"

Chen Sui is dead.
