Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1715 – Pressing Step By Step
Di Yunqiu's voice had just finished echoing in the air as many voices rang out from all directions.
“Rekan Daoist Yunqiu is right.”
“Shentu Bao, all of you can go, but the boy can't. No matter who advances, you can dream of taking her with you! ”
“Persis. After everything was clearly investigated, and if it really had nothing to do with this child, then with our identity, we would naturally not continue to make things difficult for him. “
These voices came from all the great figures of the top-tier powers in the Imperial Region, and each of them was dignified and sounded like the tone of the Grand Dao as it reverberated in the heavens and earth. It was a very scary sight.
In an instant, the expressions of Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, Yuqiu Jing, Zhuanyu Shui, and the others turned quite gloomy, and they felt anxious in their hearts. They all shot a glance towards the seniors on their side.
“Everyone, there is only a little bit of suspicion on Chen Xi, so your actions are a bit too far away. Could it be that you all think that he alone is capable of killing the seven Great God Immortals? ”Shentu Bao frowned as he spoke, and he was a little unhappy.
He really did not believe that Chen Xi was capable of this, and the reason was very simple. Luo Shaonong and the others were all extremely high-ranking Spirit God Realm in the Enlightened Chart Domain. On the other hand, no one had heard the name of this little man, Chen Xi, in the past.
Even if a little man without this kind of reputation had entered into a conflict with Luo Shaonong and the others within the Silent Man Ruins, how could he possibly annihilate Luo Shaonong and the others by himself?
“Hmph! This is a very important issue. Since there was suspicion, then it should be investigated to the end. If you, Shentu Bao, continue to act in this way, then it is equivalent to fighting all of us around here! ”In Yunqiu gave a cold snort, and her expression was extremely cold.
“What if I don't approve it?” Shentu Bao was also furious, and he answered with a question.
When he saw this, Le Beiyou suddenly smiled from the side and coaxed. “Alright, relax. Not just a situation investigation? It won't take too much time. “
Di Yunqiu nodded and said, “Daoist Dean Beiyou is much wiser and understanding.”
Shentu Bao frowned, and he glanced at Le Beiyou but said nothing in the end.
But in this way, Le Wuhen refused to accept this, and he said unhappily, “Ninth Uncle, Chen Xi is my friend, and we have a friendship that survives and dies. How can you act this way? “
Le Beiyou smiled and said indifferently, “This is just an investigation. Calm yourself. If this Young Brother Chen Xi is not the culprit, then I guarantee that no one will dare to harm him. “
Le Wuhen was stunned, and then he felt a little helpless and agitated. The development of the situation had already begun to show vague signs of his control, and this caused him to be unable to help but feel a little embarrassed to face Chen Xi.
Because he promised in earnest early and guaranteed that no major problems would happen. Yet such an incident had happened just now, and this caused him to feel extremely sad in his heart.
It was not only Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, Zhuanyu Shui, and Yuqiu Jing who were displeased and extremely angry in their hearts.
They were just about to speak when Chen Xi stopped them with a smile. “Beiyou Senior is right. It is better to investigate this matter clearly. Until now, I still don't know exactly what happened and why am I suspected because of all this? “
As he spoke, he looked at Di Yunqiu and said calmly, “May I know if this senior can give me guidance?”
If it was someone who did not know Chen Xi's abilities, then hearing these honest words would probably dispel the doubts in one's heart.
Even Le Wuhen and the others could not help but sigh with emotion because they never expected that Chen Xi would be so adept at lying, and Chen Xi did not even blink when she spoke.
Di Yunqiu gave a cold snort, and his gaze was like a bolt of lightning as he stared directly at Chen Xi. He exuded an oppressive and imposing aura as he said, “Little Fellow, You should clearly be aware of the price you will pay for lying.”
Chen Xi smiled indifferently. “No need to remind me. Please show me the reason. “
Di Yunqiu took a deep breath and laughed coldly. “Alright, allow me to ask if my Di Clan disciple, Di Jun, was killed by you!”
His voice carried a soul-shaking power, and it seemed like Chen Xi would suffer a devastating calamity if he lied.
This was a secret technique that specialized in blocking souls.
However, if that was clearly not enough against Chen Xi, and he did not even think about it before he said in surprise, “What? Di Jun is dead? “
He looked like he was shocked when he suddenly heard this news.
Di Yunqiu's eyes narrowed, and he observed Chen Xi carefully for a long time before he said coldly, “Stop acting. Why don't you think about why so many people suspect you? “
Chen Xi frowned and said, “Senior, you made baseless accusations against me by saying that. May I ask if you have any evidence? “
When they saw Chen Xi refusing to admit it no matter what, all the surrounding great figures frowned. If it was not for the presence of Le Beiyou, Shentu Bao, and the others, they would probably have made a move long ago and captured Chen Xi before ruthlessly torturing him.
Di Yunqiu began to laugh in anger. “Proof? Alrighty! Then let me ask you if you were involved in a conflict with Di Jun in the Desolate Manku Ruins? ”
Chen Xi said honestly, “One time, but it was just a fight, and many people were present around him at that time.”
Yunqiu continued. “Then let me ask you another question, are you involved in a conflict with Luo Shaonong?”
“Then did you get involved in the conflict with Gongye Zhefu, Yue Ruuo, Jin Qingyang, Kunwu Qing, and Pei Wen as well?” Di Yunqiu uttered a series of names in one go, and it firmly caught the attention of everyone around him . At the same time, a lot of terrifying pressure swept over and pressed down on Chen Xi's body, causing his eyes to narrow abruptly.
After a while, Chen Xi said, “Although I don't want to admit it, but all of that is a fact.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Previously, most of them had only heard of Chen Xi's name for the first time, and coupled with the fact that Chen Xi had never ascended to the Domain Enlightened Chart, the Enlightened Chart, it caused them to wonder where exactly this young man who had no reputation got the courage to dare offend so many Great Spirit Gods.
Thus, at this moment, when they heard Chen Xi admit it herself, the waves of ripples arising in their hearts were still inevitable, and they had no choice but to reevaluate this young man.
“Then let me ask you one last question, are you behind the death of Luo Shaonong and the others !?” Di Yunqiu shouted loudly like lightning bolting through the sky, and it was deafening.
“No.” Chen Xi's answer was simple and short.
“Alright, since you said that, then allow me to use the soul searching technique and investigate. If you really don't lie, then you can leave now, OK? “In Yunqiu spoke coldly.
“It's inappropriate, right?” Le Wuhen was unable to hold himself back anymore because he felt this old man was simply treating Chen Xi like a prisoner.
Shentu Yanran and the others stared coldly displeasedly at Di Yunqiu as well. With the seniors from their respective clans present here, they would naturally not be afraid of Di Yunqiu.
Di Yunqiu would naturally not take the obstruction of these juniors seriously. His terrifying gaze was constantly locked onto Chen Xi, and as long as Chen Xi even revealed traces of unusual movements, it would be instantly noticed by him.
Unfortunately, up to this point, Chen Xi had not given anything at all. However, this did not remove the suspicion in Di Yunqiu's heart.
On the contrary, because Chen Xi's look was too calm and composed, it caused Di Yunqiu to have an even stronger feeling that even if Chen Xi was not behind the matter, it was causing Di Yunqiu to have an even stronger feeling that even if Chen Xi was not behind the matter, it must be related to Chen Xi.
“Let me ask you again. Are you willing to allow me to investigate with my soul-searching techniques to prove that you are innocent? ”In Yunqiu spoke with an arrogant attitude.
Chen Xi's face sank, and she laughed coldly. “Senior, please understand this clearly. Firstly, I am not a prisoner, so I have no obligation to cooperate with you to find out the truth. Second, I don't blame you for your continuous questioning because Di Jun is dead! I understand how you feel.”
He paused for a moment before his expression carried a rage. “However, your request to seek my soul is too far away. Could it be that you really think that my dignity can be trampled at will? ”
He spoke word for word, and each word was spoken with strong emotion, resolution, and strength. He looked as if he was filled with righteous indignation after suffering injustice.
This scene caused Le Wuhen and the others to exclaim with admiration in their hearts. They had never imagined that Chen Xi would be able to take such an extraordinary action, and it was only able to reverse the truth and lies.
Di Yunqiu's face froze, and he was furious in his heart. If not for Le Beiyou, Shentu Bao, and the others, he really wished for nothing more than to tear Chen Xi's mouth to pieces and crush Chen Xi. This way, he did not have to worry about Chen Xi's refusal at all.
“Alright, that's enough.” Shentu Bao spoke and intends to end this ‘question’ before taking everyone away.
“Wait!” Suddenly, a deep voice rang out from the clouds in the distance, and Gongye Nanli who was sitting on top of the nine-eyed Jade Frog had spoken.
“Young people, if you have a clear conscience, then agree to the search. If in the end you are proven innocent, then I will apologize to you before everyone here! “Gongye Nanli spoke in a flat voice, yet it carried a pressure that instantly suppressed Chen Xi.
On the other hand, many people around him were shocked when they heard him make such a promise. Because Gongye Nanli actually did not hesitate to risk his dignity in this matter. This clearly showed just how great of a loss the Gongye Clan had suffered from Gongye Zhefu's death, and to the point that he was unwilling to stop.
However, in Chen Xi's opinion, this was just like a joke, and he couldn't help but laugh coldly. “Apologies? Will you apologize for your life? If it's just a normal apology, then forgive me for not being able to agree! “
Sorry about your life!
When he heard these offensive words, Gongye Nanli's eyes turned cold while his forced aura grew increasingly oppressive. He said coldly, “Little Friend, don't push your luck! If it wasn't for the consideration for Le Beiyou and the others, how could we possibly have the time to waste a breath on you? “
Indeed, Chen Xi was not in the eyes of these great figures, and he did not even have the qualifications to talk to them. The only reason they still had not made a move was because they considered Le Beiyou, Shentu Bao, and the others to be considerations.
However, if Chen Xi was better off dead than cooperating, then they could only throw all consideration to the wind!
The atmosphere instantly became silent.
Everyone's gazes shot towards Chen Xi, and they were as if they were waiting for him to make a choice.
The hearts of Le Wuhen and the others were burning with anxiety, and they were extremely anxious.
Shentu Yanran suddenly gritted his teeth and was just about to stand up and say something when he was stopped by Chen Xi through a voice transmission. “Do not do anything. Leave all this to me to take care of. ”
At this moment, Chen Xi's expression looked extremely calm, and his eyes were already completely indifferent and even without a trace of emotion.
He swept over all the great figures from the Imperial Region with his gaze, and then he lightly spat out a few words from between his lips. “I'd rather die than live in humiliation.”
Every word he spoke was calm and firm.
