Chapter 1079: Chapter 481: Master Qingwei Abdicates, Friends Arrive from Afar [8000-word Mega Chapter, Subscription Requested]_2

The cultivator families that they had visited all steadfastly claimed that the suspects sent to the battlefield from their families had never returned, and indeed, none were found within the clan’s mountain gates.

However, the fact that Wei Yong has managed to find his way here indicates that these people have already retired from the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

At this moment, the Golden Elixir Elder from the Green Lotus Temple, who accompanied Wei Yong to make the arrests, suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Senior Wei, there is something fishy about this affair. Had it not been for your visit to search for people, our temple might not have realized so quickly that so many had not safely returned from the battlefield!"

"It is said that a few days ago, Zhou Zhengchun, the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family in Lingzhou’s Tuyun Ridge, was also ambushed and assassinated by a demon cultivator on his way home. Could it be that these missing persons also met their end at the hands of demon cultivators on their way back to their families?"

Hearing him mention Zhou Chun’s experience and using it as an example made Wei Yong’s face grow dark.

In fact, Wei Yong was clear in his heart that those missing persons were most likely not killed by any demon cultivators but had been silenced by someone.

But he, fully prepared for this, did not feel disheartened because of it.

Right now, he simply said indifferently, "There are still two families we haven’t visited; we will speak further once we have visited them all."

Having said that, he proceeded to the next family.

And just as the two of them were en route to the next family, suddenly a blue Escape Light rapidly approached, halting them in their tracks.

Once the blue Escape Light stopped, there emerged the figure of a middle-aged man in blue attire.

By the side of this middle-aged man in blue, there was also a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator who had fainted.

After halting Wei Yong and his companion, the middle-aged man in blue spoke with a grave voice: "Senior Brother Wei, just as you predicted, this fellow was hiding in a secret base near his family’s location. He attempted to flee but was captured on the spot by your junior brother!",/p>

"Ah, so he was fleeing out of guilt. It seems he does indeed have something to hide!"

Wei Yong replied in a low tone, his eyes, however, were looking towards the Golden Elixir Elder of the Green Lotus Temple.

But the Golden Elixir Cultivator just slightly furrowed his brow without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wei Yong immediately said: "Come, Junior Brother Xu, follow me to the Green Lotus Mountain Range to see Taoist Friend Master Qingwei."

He then took the captured Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator with him to the Green Lotus Temple.

Not long after, a few people once again met with Master Qingwei.

"Master Qingwei, all the other suspects are now ’alive without witness, dead without corpse’. Fortunately, this man was caught by our temple’s Junior Brother Xu during his escape."

"What do you think should be done with this person?"

Inside the great hall, Wei Yong threw the unconscious Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator onto the ground and calmly briefed Master Qingwei on the situation.

At this time, Master Qingwei’s expression became slightly grave, and he did not rush to answer.

After a long moment of silence, he finally said slowly: "Senior Wei, since you are on official orders to handle this matter, it would not be proper for me to overstep. It is best that you deal with it yourself!"

Hearing this, Wei Yong immediately said: "Since that is the case, to avoid any misunderstanding by Master Qingwei, let us wake him up and interrogate him now!"

As he spoke, he sealed the man’s Mana on the ground and woke his consciousness.

"Zeng Shiming, you have caused a catastrophe!"

"If you honestly confess your treacherous acts of collusion today and reveal the identity of the instigator behind you, it is possible to avoid implicating your Zeng Family members. Otherwise, once your crime of collusion and treason is confirmed, your entire family will be exterminated!"

As Zeng Shiming’s consciousness returned to clarity, before he could understand the situation, an authoritative voice boomed in his ears.

And upon hearing the content of that voice, his expression immediately changed dramatically, and his eyes filled with terror. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Then, looking around, he swiftly noticed Master Qingwei and the Golden Elixir Elder of the Green Lotus Temple.

Seeing these two, he seemed to perceive them as saviors.

But before he could cry out for help, he saw Master Qingwei also speak: "Taoist Friend Zeng, have you heard what Senior Wei said? If you have truly engaged in treasonous collusion, you had better confess clearly now. That way, I can plead on your behalf to Senior Wei, considering past merits of you and the Zeng Family, to leave a way out for the innocent members of your family who are unaware of this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shiming’s expression changed again, and the words on his lips were forcibly held back.

Wei Yong just glanced at Master Qingwei and stayed silent.

But after a series of changes in Zeng Shiming’s expression, he gritted his teeth and said: "I confess, indeed I deliberately allowed a group of demon cultivators to pass through the battlefield. It happened when I was involved in an underground black market transaction, and I couldn’t resist the temptation posed by a demon cultivator who swayed me with a Spiritual Object that aids in cultivating the Purple Mansion, agreeing to turn a blind eye wherever I could!"

Having said that, he knelt to the ground, kowtowed, and begged: "This is a grave sin committed by my own greed and blindness. It has nothing to do with other cultivators of my Zeng Family; none of them are aware of this matter. I beg Senior Wei and Lord Temple Master to see clearly and not implicate the innocent!"

Hearing his words, Wei Yong immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Good, since you have confessed to this matter, I can now proceed according to the rules!"

He then said with a sinister smile: "Whether there is any implication of the innocent or not, I’ll know the truth after searching your soul!"

With that, he raised his hand and called, drawing the kneeling Zeng Shiming to him, ready to use the Soul Searching technique on him.
