Chapter 531 Recourse(1/2)
More than a dozen Tianhai Sword Sect disciples flew out of the cave.
Or falling like leaves.
Or glide like a swallow.
Or swooping down like an eagle.
They fell to the sea one after another, with their toes on the waves as if they were walking on flat ground, and their eyes like lightning, searching the turbulent water below, hoping to find Zhou Xiang's body.
They continued to expand the search circle, going outside and outside, and did not stop until they reached the end of the thick fog.
After a while, they reunited in the cave.
No body was found.
"Uncle Huang, is Junior Sister Zhou alive?"
"Yes, it's very possible that he's not dead."
"If she's not dead, then where did she go?" A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a rough appearance said angrily: "Who can take her away silently?"
He glanced at the four young men among them.
The four young men stood upright in a solemn tone.
"Uncle, it's impossible for someone to take Junior Sister Zhou away. We've been watching closely and we will never slacken off!"
"Yes, Junior Sister Zhou has been silent. When we feel something strange, we will fly over and have a look. There is nothing strange."
"We speculate that Junior Sister Zhou will be finished in the next day or two."
They looked at each other.
This glance is actually their tacit understanding.
Can't tell the truth.
Otherwise, their responsibilities will be greater.
There is really no need to risk your own future for a junior sister who is bound to die and is a traitor.
What's more, there is no evidence to support his death.
They wanted to enter the cave to have a look before, but they thought it was weird.
Because according to normal circumstances, Zhou Xiang should have died today, but she was still alive and well.
This has exceeded the limit. It is impossible for anyone to survive for so long with no martial arts and no water or food.
So there must be something weird.
It's really weird.
Zhou Xiang disappeared mysteriously!
They had a promise in their hearts: someone secretly rescued Zhou Xiang and secretly gave her water or food before.
If they tell the truth, they will definitely be severely punished, and their cultivation progress will definitely fall behind by two to three years.
It is a time of rapid progress, and being behind for three years means falling behind forever. The competition among disciples of the Tianhai Sword Sect is extremely fierce.
But while they were hiding it, they felt guilty at the same time.
Could someone really rescue Zhou Xiang quietly?
Who could it be?
Definitely another traitor!
"Yu Zhen!" Huang Jiye suddenly stared and shouted: "Tell the truth!"
One of the young men's face changed drastically, and he suddenly fell into panic, his eyes flickering wildly.
"Huh, there is indeed a problem!" Huang Jiye sneered: "You four...did you secretly hide her?!"
"Absolutely not!"
"No no!"
"No!"
"Unjustly accused!"
The four people shook their heads anxiously.
"It seems that there is." Huang Jiye said coldly: "You four, it's not too late to tell the truth. Otherwise, if you are arrested and interrogated separately, are you afraid that there will be no truth? Tell the truth!"
"...Yes!" The four of them looked at each other and immediately lowered their heads.
People around them suddenly looked at the four of them in surprise. They didn't expect that they really didn't tell the truth and deceived everyone.
This is so courageous!
Huang Jiye hummed: "Yu Zhen, tell me!"
"Uncle Huang, we were really wronged..." Yu Zhen hurriedly told what happened and what he and others had speculated.
"That means there is no doubt that someone rescued this little girl Zhou Xiang!" Huang Jiye said coldly: "It's very good, it's really good!"
His eyes shot out with cold electricity, scanning the crowd, sweeping here and there.
He has used a secret technique.
Everyone felt guilty when they saw him, as if they had really done something they were ashamed of.
Those with strong cultivation quickly woke up, while those with weaker cultivation couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look at him.
Who in this world dares to say that he has a clear conscience?
Huang Jiye shouted: "Whoever did it, please stand up!"
Although everyone felt guilty and did not dare to look at him, no one stood up. Of course, they could not admit things they had not done.
"Hehe, that's great!" Huang Jiye sneered again and again: "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you think the faction is not prepared for this kind of situation?"
He shook his head with disdain: "To tell you the truth, the sect has already had secret methods to guard against this kind of situation!"
Everyone was stunned and didn't know why.
Huang Jiye slowly looked at the crowd and hummed: "There is some kind of juice on her body. As long as you touch her, it will be stained with this juice and become tainted with the taste."
He sneered: "This smell cannot be smelled by our noses, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it will be useless!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
Yu Zhen said hurriedly: "Uncle Huang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find out who did it!"
He couldn't wait to prove his innocence.
If they can't find this person, then they will take the blame.
Huang Jiye said coldly: "If someone comes forward and saves himself this trouble, the punishment will be lighter. Come forward now to save his life!"
His eyes were filled with cold electricity.
But everyone looked confused.
Huang Jiye frowned and hummed: "That's all."
He felt that he was performing for the blind. Looking at their confused eyes, he actually felt like a clown.
He turned around and left.
Everyone followed him one after another.
The cave became empty in the blink of an eye, with no one left.
Zhou Xiang and Fakong stood in a forest on the top of the cliff, and the sea breeze carried the sounds from the cave.
Even though Zhou Xiang's martial arts was abolished, he could still hear clearly.
She looked at Fakong nervously and said in her heart: "Master...?"
Fakong shook his head and smiled in her heart: "It doesn't matter, let's watch the show."
"We won't be caught?"
"Won't."
Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked around cautiously.
The woods are sparse. You can only cover your body here, but not your breath. Many great masters below are extremely sensitive.
Fakong said in her heart: "As long as there is no sound, it will be fine. The isolated breath will leak out."
If there was no isolation, the keenness of those below would have discovered it long ago, and they would not be able to stand here carefree.
His eyes followed Huang Jiye and his party.
Huang Jiye came to a forest, which was lush and green, with all kinds of trees. They were tall and strong. He knew they were ancient trees at a glance.
They stopped in front of a small cabin.
