The bald old man Wu Da frowned tightly.
As the Deputy Hall Master of the Discipline Hall, Wu Da had only just learned of Liu Hanyan's death from the Liu Family.
The death of a Foundation Establishment Stage Core Disciple like Liu Hanyan, who possessed Mutated Dual Immortal Roots and extraordinary talent, was naturally of great importance to Wulong Valley.
Looking at Yang Che in front of him, thinking that this person had some connection with Frost Moon Fairy, and also thinking that the Liu Family was the primary cultivation Family affiliated with Wulong Valley, if this matter was not handled well, it was very likely to result in a situation where neither side was pleased.
Wu Da rubbed his bald head and said to the Disciple who was the attendant, "Let them in."
The old man and the Tall Youth walked in, both with grim expressions.
Wu Da immediately cupped his hands to the hunched, thin, sharp-faced old man, saying, "Elder Liu Xiao, this hall is currently investigating with all its might, and I believe the truth will surely come to light."
Before the sharp-faced old man, Elder Liu Xiao, could speak, the Tall Youth snorted coldly and pointed directly at Yang Che, saying, "Senior Brother Wu Da, this person killed Liu Yuan, a direct descendant of my Liu Family, and then, while imprisoned in this Sect's jail, he killed all the Disciples guarding the jail and fled to avoid punishment. For a Disciple who has committed such a serious crime, why investigate further instead of directly executing him?"
Wu Da said, "Junior Brother Liu Tong, please calm down. Regarding Liu Yuan's death, who the true culprit was, had not yet been settled at that time. And as for killing all the Disciples guarding the jail, Yang Che is only a suspect, and there is no conclusive evidence. Therefore, this matter still needs thorough investigation."
"Investigate, investigate, investigate! This is clearly an obvious matter, does it still need investigation? Could it be that Yang Che has some connections that make it difficult for your Discipline Hall to investigate?"
Liu Tong's expression was agitated, and his tone was quite unfriendly: "Now my Senior Sister Hanyan of the Liu Family is dead! I heard that this Yang Che has already entered the Qing Jian Sect, and coincidentally, my Senior Sister Hanyan just happened to die in the Mist Hidden Sea of the Qing Jian Sect. This Yang Che must have used someone from the Qing Jian Sect to kill my Senior Sister Hanyan. If it's difficult for your Discipline Hall to handle, then hand it over to my Liu Family for disposal."
"Presumptuous! Junior Brother Liu Tong, do you think this place is your Liu Family's? This Discipline Hall is Wulong Valley's Discipline Hall, not your Liu Family's Discipline Hall."
Wu Da suddenly roared in anger, and the sharp-faced old man immediately reprimanded Liu Tong a few times.
Liu Tong realized that he had said too much in his rage, and his expression immediately changed, not daring to speak anymore.
He just turned his head to look at Yang Che, his eyes filled with undisguised venom.
"Junior Brother Wu Da, my clansman here is a bit overwhelmed by Hanyan's death, and his words are a bit extreme. I hope Junior Brother Wu Da won't take it to heart."
The sharp-faced, thin old man, seeing that Wu Da was somewhat angry, quickly tried to smooth things over. After all, what Wu Da had just said was extremely 'damaging'.
No matter how powerful the Liu Family was, it was ultimately only an affiliate of Wulong Valley.
"Hmph." Wu Da snorted coldly, then turned to Yang Che and said, "Yang Che, the death of Liu Yuan was undecided at the time, and it was said that the truth would be investigated after Frost Moon Fairy returned. But on that night, all the Disciples guarding the jail were killed, and you escaped from the jail. How do you explain this matter?"
Yang Che said calmly, "Someone forcibly abducted me from the jail, killed those guarding Disciples, and then framed me."
"Oh? Empty words, do you have any evidence?" A sharp glint suddenly shot out from Wu Da's eyes.
The sharp-faced old man, Elder Liu Xiao, and the Tall Youth, Liu Tong, were also startled, immediately exchanging glances, both feeling a premonition of something bad.
Yang Che took in the expressions of the few people before him, sneered inwardly, but maintained a calm expression and said, "Of course I have evidence. However, I don't trust you. I request to see Frost Moon Fairy; I will hand the evidence to her."
The bald old man Wu Da fell silent.
Elder Liu Xiao and Liu Tong also had a hint of surprise and worry flash in their eyes.
"Yang Che, I will ask you again solemnly, do you truly have evidence to prove that you were framed?"
Wu Da's gaze was burning, staring at Yang Che as he asked with utmost gravity.
Yang Che nodded, stating unequivocally, "There is indeed evidence. Please, Junior Martial Uncle Wu, take me to see Frost Moon Fairy."
Upon hearing this, Wu Da's expression became serious.
Looking at the young man in front of him, who did not seem to be lying at all, he pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find Frost Moon Fairy."
The sharp-faced old man of the Liu Family, Elder Liu Xiao, suddenly said, "Junior Brother Wu, this also concerns my Liu Family, so the two of us must follow Yang Che until the truth comes to light."
"Alright."
Wu Da did not want to waste any more time. He pulled Yang Che out of the Discipline Hall and headed straight for the 'Deliberation Hall'.
Yang Che was not unfamiliar with this Deliberation Hall; it was the same hall where his Immortal Root was tested back then.
"Yang Che?"
When Wu Da brought Yang Che into the hall, the Deputy Valley Master of Wulong Valley, the white-robed old man Chen Liansheng, immediately recognized Yang Che.
Yang Che was very displeased with this person's partiality towards Liu Hanyan back then, so upon seeing the old man, he gave a lukewarm bow and remained silent.
Wu Da and the two from the Liu Family bowed upon seeing Chen Liansheng.
Then Wu Da quickly said, "Senior Brother Chen, can you contact Frost Moon Fairy? This Yang Che says he has conclusive evidence to prove that he was framed regarding the matter at the Yellow-character type prison."
Upon hearing this, Chen Liansheng's face also showed a surprised expression.
He looked at Yang Che, staring intently into Yang Che's eyes, and said, "Yang Che, since you have evidence, you can certainly give it to us, and we can also prove your innocence."
Yang Che, however, said coldly, "Sorry, I don't trust you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Liansheng's eyes immediately flashed with displeasure.
He naturally heard from Yang Che's tone that Yang Che seemed to be dissatisfied with the events of that year.
However, a Disciple with Mutated Dual Immortal Roots, which were equivalent to Waste Immortal Roots, even if he fortunately Cultivated to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, would not be able to Foundation Establishment. On this point, he naturally believed Junior Martial Uncle Muyuntian's words without a doubt.
If it weren't for Frost Moon Fairy's connection, he would have already forcibly convicted and executed Yang Che.
But thinking of Frost Moon Fairy, Chen Liansheng did not dare to be careless, so he immediately took out a sound transmission talisman and transmitted a message to Junior Martial Uncle Mu.
"Several Junior Brothers, I have already informed Junior Martial Uncle Muyuntian. He will contact Frost Moon Fairy. We will just wait here."
Chen Liansheng looked at Yang Che again, his gaze somewhat complex.
Yang Che kept his eyes straight ahead, while his mind rapidly pondered how to return to the Tongyou Cave on Dragon Breath Mountain.
Several years had passed; he wondered if Tongyou Cave had been exposed.
His heart was filled with apprehension, and he was eager to go to Tongyou Cave and take a look.
Everyone waited for about the time it takes for two sticks of incense to burn. Chen Liansheng seemed to have received a reply. After reading it, he immediately said to everyone, "Let's go, let's all go to Wangyue Peak."
"Wangyue Peak?"
Yang Che's heart stirred.
This time, Frost Moon Fairy should be within the Sect.
Moreover, he was surprised that even Deputy Valley Master Chen Liansheng had to go to Wangyue Peak, instead of Frost Moon Fairy coming to this Deliberation Hall.
It seemed that, as he had guessed, Frost Moon Fairy's identity in Wulong Valley was certainly not ordinary.
