"Use this Eight Xuan Cave to attract the out-of-control star worlds, at least slow down their speed towards the Sun Star," Zhu Yan said.
"No problem," Chan'er replied.
Several others shouted, "There is still an assassin among us, like a maggot clinging to the bone, making us uneasy. If Queen Zhu Yan can help us eliminate this thief, we are willing to obey Queen Zhu Yan's every command."
Zhu Yan was furious. In the dark world, no one had ever dared to defy her.
She followed the sound and saw several people with Saint Emperor cultivation standing there.
Among those people, two or three were her old subordinates. She figured they wouldn't be disloyal, so this dissenting voice must have come from strangers.
She hadn't expected that in her absence, the dark world had produced several more Saint Emperors.
Zhu Yan had no patience to figure out who had spoken. She pointed her finger, and countless spider silks shot out, striking one of the unfamiliar faces.
The person was caught off guard. In an instant, he was pierced like a sieve, and in another instant, he exploded with a boom, turning into a rain of blood that spread and then slowly dissipated.
Everyone was stunned. A cultivator at the Saint Emperor level was killed by Zhu Yan with a mere wave of her hand.
Mo Qi was also extremely shocked. Zhu Yan's current cultivation was terrifyingly powerful!
He had some understanding of her cultivation before. Although her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds after obtaining Zhen Zhen's body, it shouldn't have been this heaven-defying!
Had she been holding back before?
Or had she made further progress during the time they were apart?
He looked at her cold and frosty face and couldn't help but shiver.
She was showing them her dominance!
Little did she know, the more overbearing she was, the less he dared to help her.
The others were also struck dumb with fear, and many silently lowered their heads.
Zhu Yan surveyed the crowd and said, "If that thief dares to appear again, I will naturally kill him. But do not try to go against me. Those who try to go against me will suffer this fate."
No one spoke anymore. Zhu Yan said with satisfaction, "No one has any objections, then let's begin."
Following Zhu Yan's deployment, they found a cave dwelling with eight entrances. Eighty people formed a group, each group occupying one entrance, sitting cross-legged. Zhu Yan and Mo Qi sat in the center, preparing to cast the spell.
Just then, a scream came from the southeastern entrance, and another person turned into a dried corpse.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They looked at Zhu Yan's stern face, but dared not speak.
Zhu Yan had someone from outside come in to replenish the group and prepare to continue the spell.
Another scream came from the southwestern entrance, and another person was eliminated.
Zhu Yan was furious, "This is too audacious! Today, even if it costs me my life, I will find you."
As she spoke, her figure flashed, and she arrived at the southwestern entrance.
Mo Qi shook his head and followed. Upon reaching the entrance, as expected, he saw the crowd parting to the sides, with a dried corpse lying in the middle.
Zhu Yan was about to step forward to examine it, looking for any clues.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward and pointed to a young man beside him, saying, "I saw it clearly. He did it."
The young man was very surprised, his face flushing red. "Don't talk nonsense. This is a matter of life and death. You and I have no enmity, why would you frame me?"
Before the middle-aged man could speak, another person beside him stepped forward and pointed at him, "Yes, it was him. Don't argue, I saw it too."
Following that, several more people stepped forward to identify him.
The young man was so scared he almost collapsed to the ground. He could only kneel down and say to Zhu Yan, "Queen Zhu Yan, please investigate. It really wasn't me."
Zhu Yan looked at the young man, her gaze making him break out in a cold sweat.
Zhu Yan raised her hand. The young man kowtowed incessantly, saying to Zhu Yan, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me. I just sat there and suddenly felt dizzy. I don't know what happened. When I woke up, someone next to me was dead."
Zhu Yan didn't believe him at all. Divine light flashed in her hand.
With just one palm strike, the young man would be annihilated.
However, at this moment, a large, powerful hand grabbed her hand.
It was Mo Qi!
Zhu Yan stared at him. "We have a soul pact. You can command me, but not now."
Mo Qi smiled and said, "It wasn't him, it really wasn't him."
"How can you be sure?" Zhu Yan withdrew her hand. "So many people are identifying him, are they all framing him?"
"Yes, are we all framing him?" these people also said indignantly.
Mo Qi shook his head and said, "Sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth. What you saw was his body killing someone, but at that time, his body was no longer under his control."
The crowd was confused, but Zhu Yan seemed to understand. Her eyes lit up. "You are judging based on his words. What if he fabricated it to save his life?"
Mo Qi glanced at Chan'er and said slowly, "Firstly, before coming to the dark world, I heard from Chan'er that someone was causing trouble here, making a mess of things. She even invited me to help. This indicates that this thief has been here for a long time. Since he can come and go freely, he wouldn't let you catch him so easily and then wait to be identified by you. Secondly, someone died in the southeast. If he was the murderer, then he was present in the southeast. But the eighty people we chose haven't moved. This means there's a soul body floating around. We can ask the people next to him to confirm if he has been here all along."
The people nearby nodded one after another, "Yes, he has been here all along."
Zhu Yan's brow furrowed. "Doesn't that mean this guy is very troublesome?"
Before Mo Qi could speak, Chan'er said, "He is very troublesome. Queen has been trying to deal with him, but I never expected that in the end..."
Zhu Yan glared at her. "Don't compare me to anyone else. I'm back, and the outcome will naturally be different."
Chan'er immediately nodded, "Yes, Queen Zhu Yan, we believe you will have a way."
Zhu Yan felt uncertain. Have a way? Do I really have a way?
The young man, as if granted amnesty, gasped for air and wiped his sweat repeatedly.
However, he didn't dare to stand up for the moment. Only when Zhu Yan signaled him to do so did he slowly rise.
His legs were numb, and he staggered a few times before managing to stand steadily.
At this moment, another person from the southeast screamed and fell to the ground, dead.
The others quickly dodged.
Several people pointed at another young man, "He did it, I saw it."
Zhu Yan also unfolded her figure and swept towards the southeast.
Mo Qi initially followed towards the southeast. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he veered towards the northwest entrance.
Just then, he saw one person in the crowd, taking advantage of the moment when the person next to him was not paying attention, suddenly attack and bite the neck of the person next to him. The person next to him screamed, fell to the ground, and instantly turned into a dried corpse, all very quickly.
Too fast. The speed of soul traversal must be faster than the speed of the body.
If Lian Xin were here, it would be another matter!
But she would definitely not help him deal with her brother.
At this point, he was almost certain that it was Lian Min who did it.
There was no evidence, only intuition.
His technique was indeed quite powerful!
His soul body traversed through human bodies as he pleased.
