Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 885 - 475: Soul Hook Bell! (Part 3)
"Who knows!"
Faced with Yan Que's speculation, Jiang Qi shook his head.
He had thought about this too.
With such talent, it's impossible to come from a small place; such a chance is simply nonsense.
Moreover... if even the Dark Moon can't find any issues, then the problem is big.
"Ah!"
"Troubled times indeed!"
...
Three days have passed in a flash.
The Three Judicial Departments.
Ye Jinghong stood by the window in the study, staring outside, but he was lost in thought.
He thought he'd be severely scolded by the people from the Imperial City.
Yet unexpectedly, they merely inquired about the situation and whether it was his idea or Chen Xuan's.
Upon confirming it was Chen Xuan's idea, they simply asked him to cooperate as much as possible, without a single word of reprimand.
"Interesting,"
Ye Jinghong murmured to himself.
It seems Chen Xuan not only has a deep connection with the Ritual Department, but even the Three Judicial Departments' attitude is ambiguous.
"Heh!"
His lips involuntarily curled up in a smile, seems like he's been noticed by the two old monsters.
This is a true prodigy. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
His heart couldn't help but rise in envy.
He was also grateful for the choice he made back then.
"But..."
A familiar figure appeared in his mind, the only person he felt guilty towards.
But in that situation, not only for himself but also for the Ye Family, he had no choice.
"I'll repay it in the next life,"
He muttered, then walked out of the study, wanting to take a walk outside.
Thinking of Shen Xuan caused his heart to feel inexplicably uneasy.
Their relationship wasn't exactly a life-and-death bond, but it wasn't any less than that of real brothers.
So it's not that he was heartless, he was simply forced by circumstances.
"Ye Jinghong!"
A familiar voice reached his ears.
"Yes...."
Ye Jinghong's heart sank for a moment, his eyes quickly searching for the speaker, as a familiar figure descended from the sky.
"How could it be him!?"
What a coincidence?
Thinking about Shen Xuan, he didn't expect that Shen Tong, Shen Xuan's father, would be here.
Moreover, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Please don't let it be about the cause of Shen Xuan's death."
Suppressing the chaos in his heart, he immediately approached Shen Xuan, forcing a smile on his face, and bowed in greeting, "Greetings, Patriarch Shen."
Although he was from a small family, even at that time with a brotherly relationship with Shen Xuan, he never called Shen Tong 'Uncle.'
After all, their statuses were worlds apart; Shen Xuan was Shen Xuan, and he was himself.
At this moment, Shen Tong's gaze was fixed on him, and though he didn't reveal a single aura, Shen Tong was a high rank Dao Realm, making Ye Jinghong feel as if his heart was being oppressed.
His breathing became slightly labored.
Yet, Shen Tong didn't speak for a moment.
Just a brief moment, and Ye Jinghong was drenched, this was the pressure of a high rank Dao Realm.
"Patriarch Shen, what's happened to you?"
Ye Jinghong's smile became somewhat strained.
"I ask you... Do you know anything about Xuan'Er's death?"
"Boom!"
As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from Shen Tong, pressing on Ye Jinghong like a tidal wave.
Instantly!
As if a thousand weights pressed upon him, his body trembled slightly, "Patriarch Shen, wasn't Shen Xuan's death caused by Hidden Kill?"
Under this pressure, even speaking became difficult for Ye Jinghong.
His body bent under the weight.
"Boom!"
Shen Tong's momentum surged again, "I'll give you one more chance, is there any inside story, do you know or not?!"
A loud shout exploded in Ye Jinghong's mind.
"Pff!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale.
"Patriarch Shen!"
Ye Jinghong shouted, unleashing the full power of a first rank Dao Realm, instantly shattering the clouds above the Three Judicial Departments with a mighty aura.
"Presumptuous!"
Shen Tong saw through his little scheme.
Raising a hand, he slapped toward Ye Jinghong.
In the face of this slap from a high rank Dao realm, Ye Jinghong had no resistance, instantly subdued.
"I advise you not to have any ideas, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shen Tong's gaze was cold as he looked at him.
"Ruthless?!"
Even the mildest person has a temper, although he was sorry for Shen Xuan, this matter was ultimately Shen Xuan's conflict with Chen Xuan, should he risk the entire Ye Family?
Of course, he wouldn't dare utter these words.
"Patriarch Shen, I am the director of the Three Judicial Departments of rMolan Mansion, what do you mean by 'ruthless'?"
"Kill me?"
The shout just now was heard by everyone in the Three Judicial Departments.
He didn't believe Shen Tong would dare act in broad daylight.
Besides...
"Ancestor, you must hear me, if not, I can't hold on any longer."
Ye Jinghong had never wanted to see Chen Xuan as much as right now.
Only he could save him now.
"Heh!"
Shen Tong chuckled coldly, "Kill? I certainly won't kill you."
After all, being a person from the Three Judicial Departments, he wasn't arrogant to the extent he dared to kill Ye Jinghong; if he did, Zhan Tian would kill him, even Shen Chong wouldn't speak up.
Besides, the Shen Family would inevitably face retaliation from the Three Judicial Departments.
But not killing doesn't mean other things can't be done.
Suddenly, a silver bell appeared in Shen Tong's hand.
"Soul Hook Bell!"
Ye Jinghong's face changed dramatically, panicked!
He didn't expect this Spiritual Treasure to be in Shen Tong's hands.
Under the Soul Hook Bell, one below the Dao level couldn't resist.
It was even easier than Soul Search, and the target would instantly fall, following commands.
"Ding-ding..."
Shen Tong shook the Soul Hook Bell.
"It's over!"
Ye Jinghong's face was ashen, and his consciousness began to blur.
"Shen Tong... How dare you!"
A soft voice rang in the air above the Three Judicial Departments, and under this voice, Ye Jinghong instantly escaped the Soul Hook Bell.
His mind cleared.
