Chapter 260 I Was Wronged
Then, Fu Haoran took out a recording crystal and half of a broken life plate from his storage ring and handed them over together.
"Master, this is the evidence I found."
Nie Zhonghai took it and began to read the contents of the recording crystal without saying a word.
But the more he looked, the gloomier Nie Zhonghai's expression became.
Fu Haoran said, "Sect Master, there's no reason for Lin Han to attack Elder Quan. Even if he did, Elder Quan wouldn't have been unaware of it."
"The most bizarre thing is that after Elder Quan died, his body was nowhere to be found, and the area was swept clean of any traces."
"If Lin Han was the murderer who killed Elder Quan, he wouldn't have had to do this, because Master Ye Tianchen and his apprentice were also present. Any attempt to cover it up would be superfluous."
Seeing Nie Zhonghai remained silent, Fu Haoran offered a suggestion. "Why don't we order the Sect Master to capture Ye Tianchen and Wang Yuyan, the master and disciple, and force them to tell the truth? Only in this way can we uncover the truth and comfort the spirit of Elder Quan."
Nie Zhonghai was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Your analysis makes sense. I'll secretly send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, so you don't have to worry about it. It's nothing else, you can leave."
Upon hearing this, Fu Haoran's heart sank.
He said unwillingly, "Sect Master, since you think what I said makes sense, Ye Tianchen is very likely the beast that killed Elder Quan, why do you..."
Nie Zhonghai rubbed his temples and sighed, "I have already sent him to take Shan Zilin and Shi Yuanbin, two cabinet elders, to Chiyang City to kill Lin Han, so let's discuss this matter after they come back."
"Can you please be quiet for the next few days?"
"What? Elder Shan and Elder Shi..." Fu Haoran was suddenly shocked and said quickly, "Absolutely not! Sect Master, I suggest that the two elders be recalled immediately! You don't know that Ye Tianchen is a sinister and cunning person with ill intentions towards the Holy Fire Sect. He can no longer be used!"
"enough!"
boom!
Nie Zhonghai shouted, his face grim, "Fu Haoran, are you questioning my decision?"
"...Don't dare!"
Fu Haoran frowned deeply and asked, "But I don't understand why you, Sect Master, knowing all this, still indulge Ye Tianchen so much. Isn't this just raising a tiger to cause trouble?"
"Humph! Fu Haoran, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Nie Zhonghai held his breath, pointing at Fu Haoran in a frantic yet helpless manner, and said, "What kind of evidence do you have? All I see is you talking nonsense!"
"Also, what's going on? I just demoted you to an outer sect elder, and it's been less than two days, and you've already found evidence?"
"Take another look at your so-called evidence. What can it prove? Just based on these specious evidences, can you prove that Ye Tianchen is the murderer of Elder Quan?"
"Do you want to take another look at this evidence? Does it prove that Elder Quan's death is related to you?"
After hearing these words, Fu Haoran's face turned pale.
It seems that what Nie Zhonghai said is right.
It seems that the evidence in his hands cannot prove anything, because the evidence he provided may have been completely fabricated out of thin air.
To put it simply, if Nie Zhonghai and the cabinet trust him, then the evidence is true.
But he forgot one thing.
In the eyes of the elders in the cabinet, he was indeed the biggest suspect in killing Quan Xiangyu.
It's only been two days, and I submitted the evidence so quickly. Doesn't this make me look like I'm trying to cover up my guilt and incriminate myself?
Nie Zhonghai pointed at Fu Haoran and said angrily, "Fu Haoran, ah Fu Haoran, the dead are gone... Considering that you have served the Holy Fire Sect for so many years, even if you have not made any contributions, you have worked hard. I don't want to pursue the death of Elder Quan, but you are acting like this. Do you want me to execute you for the crime of harming your fellow disciples and betraying your master and ancestors?"
"Master! I, I was wronged!"
Fu Haoran was completely confused.
He had no idea that he just wanted to find out the cause of Quan Xiangyu's death.
The fire suddenly burned on himself!
At this moment, he finally understood a bloody fact. It turned out that not only Nie Zhonghai did not trust him, but even the cabinet did not trust him.
Although this is a fact that he should have understood long ago, he has always ignored it.
He thought that as long as he could find out the real cause of Quan Xiangyu's death, he would be able to clear his name. Unfortunately, he was too naive!
Nie Zhonghai said coldly, "You're being wronged? Fu Haoran, you're more wronged than anyone else. Do you really think that all the elders in the cabinet are blind?"
"Or can you find Lin Han, bring him back to Kaishan Sect, and make him admit in front of us that it was Ye Tianchen who killed Elder Quan, not him?"
"Have you ever thought about the real reason why the cabinet elders unanimously agreed to demote you to an outer sect elder?"
"Because the cabinet has not yet found any evidence that Elder Quan's death is directly related to you."
"Do you know that if I hand it over to the cabinet, your death will be imminent!"
boom!
Following Nie Zhonghai's deep shout, the recording crystal and life plate in his hand suddenly exploded.
"For the sake of our long-standing friendship, I will risk my own life to save yours."
"If there's a next time, Fu Haoran, I won't be able to protect you. Don't blame me for being cold-blooded and ruthless and not saving you!"
He sighed deeply again.
"It's not that I don't believe you. In fact, I also know that you can't be the murderer because I know your character and what you are like."
"Let's take a step back and say that things have come to this point. Even if Ye Tianchen has ulterior motives towards the Holy Fire Sect, we can't act rashly, otherwise you will dig your own grave."
"You are innocent. The cabinet will clear your name sooner or later. Don't worry about it anymore. Just stay outside the gate!"
At this time, Fu Haoran's face was already ashen.
……
the other side.
Lin Han has already appeared at the border of the Nine Stars sphere of influence with Gong Bei and Gu Qingyue.
However, Lin Han stopped.
He frowned slightly, as if something was on his mind.
"What?" Glancing at Lin Han, Gong Bei's bright eyes flashed with realization, "This journey is dangerous. If you want to withdraw now, it's not too late."
Lin Han shook his head and said, "It just suddenly occurred to me that you are not dead yet. Jing Hongkun and others will definitely report this matter after they return."
"What's the problem?"
Gong Bei was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning of Lin Han's words.
Lin Han said, "When they were in the Arctic ice field, Jing Hongkun and the others already knew the secret, which was closely related to the passage to an unknown land. So they must have made corresponding countermeasures to prevent you from destroying it."
"They must have thought of it. Tongtian Tower also knows this secret. In other words, as long as the three of us set foot on the Nine Stars, we will be targeted in a short time."
Gu Qingyue tilted her head slightly and smiled, "It seems that this matter is becoming more and more interesting. So, what are you going to do next?"
“…I’m still thinking about it.”
Gong Bei's expression tightened, and he said without hesitation, "I was rash. How about we use the invisibility talisman to sneak in?"
She didn't expect that this matter would be so serious.
