　　Half a stick of incense later.
　　The Nine Mansions, Zhenyun Peak.
　　On the top of the peak, in the Zhenyun Hall.
　　The mansion master Liu Chuxuan sitting in the hall scolded Xu Taiping who was standing in the middle of the hall with an extremely stern expression：
　　“The casual cultivator Chu Ping’an, reveal the person behind you who is instigating, and our Nine Mansions may spare you from the pain of your soul being scattered！”
　　Because this was a secret interrogation, the door of the hall was closed at this moment, and there were only a few elders including Mansion Master Liu Chuxuan and Qian Yi in the hall.
　　Xu Taiping shook his head with a calm expression and said：
　　“Mansion Master, Elder Chu Qiuya was not killed by me. You have found the wrong person.”
　　Liu Chuxuan pointed to the mirage Illusory shadow that rose from the Moon Shadow Stone in the middle of the hall and said：
　　”The evidence is conclusive. How dare you quibble？”
　　Qian Yi, a visiting elder from the Pure Yang Sword Sect on the side, also said coldly at this time：
　　”This Moon Shadow Stone was repaired from the several pieces of Moon Shadow Stones that were damaged by you in the Golden Palace. The image in it cannot be fake.”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s eyes showed a clear look, and he secretly said：
　　”So that’s how it is.”
　　”These people deliberately left the fragments of the Moon Shadow Stone when assassinating Chu Qiuya.”
　　”And then calculated the time for the Nine Mansions to repair these fragments, and replaced the image in this Moon Shadow Stone with what they wanted the Nine Mansions to see.”
　　”Thus, they framed the person they wanted to frame.”
　　Of course, the reason why Xu Taiping was able to think of this immediately was because he knew in advance that those people were going to murder Elder Chu Qiuya.
　　Immediately, he asked Liu Chuxuan and Qian Yi rhetorically：
　　”Elder Qian, Lord Liu, how can you be sure that the image in this Moon Shadow Stone has not been swapped？”
　　Although this sentence sounds a bit like quibbling, Xu Taiping believes that powerhouses like Liu Chuxuan and Qian Yi will surely also doubt the authenticity of this Moon Shadow Stone.
　　Upon hearing this, Liu Chuxuan turned his head and looked at Qian Yi beside him.
　　Qian Yi narrowed his eyes, carefully looked up and down at Xu Taiping, and then muttered：
　　”It is indeed as you said. There is this possibility.”
　　“But anyway, you are the most suspected.”
　　After a little thought, Xu Taiping spoke again：
　　“Zhao Linglong, the fairy Zhao of Qingxuan Sect, can prove that I was not present when Old Chu had an accident.”
　　Liu Chuxuan frowned and said unhappily to Xu Taiping：
　　“Miss Linglong is still recovering from her injuries. How can she prove for you？”
　　Xu Taiping’s expression remained calm and he said：
　　“Can’t the Ninth Mansion wait for this little time？”
　　Upon hearing this, Liu Chuxuan immediately exchanged a glance with Qian Yi, and then he looked at Xu Taiping and said：
　　“Then please, Daoist Chu, stay in our Ninth Mansion’s prison for a few days.”
As he said this, several guest elder officials of the Ninth Mansion stood up from their seats one after another and walked all to the front of Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping glanced at those elders and then asked：
　　“What do you mean by this, Lord Liu？”
　　Liu　Chuxuan　replied：
　　“To avoid any accidents, before proving your innocence, Daoist Chu, we have to seal your cultivation.”
And as he was speaking, those elders raised their hands without saying a word and neatly inserted the blood-colored silver needles into their hands into different acupoints in Xu Taiping’s body.
　　“Uh…”
　　Xu Taiping frowned tightly and endured the piercing pain.
　　At the same time, he could clearly sense that the power of his own divine soul could no longer mobilize the true essence and qi and blood in his body.
　　At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary mortal in the secular world.
　　”Hoo…”
　　Xu Taiping exhaled a mouthful of turbid air from his mouth, and then looked up at the mansion master Liu Chuxuan and said：
　　”Mansion Master, before it is completely confirmed that I am the murderer, you seal my true essence and qi and blood.”
　　”If it is finally proved that I am innocent, what should your Nine Mansions do？”
　　When facing Xu Taiping’s gaze, Liu Chuxuan dodged a little, as if feeling that something was wrong.
　　However, Qian Yi on the side snorted coldly and said sternly：
A mere loose cultivator, killing my friend. If it weren’t used for the obstruction of the Nine Mansions I would have already killed you on the viewing platform!
　　”Now, you actually dare to question us instead. It’s simply presumptuous！”
　　When saying these words, the murderous aura on Qian Yi was like a storm, slapping heavily towards Xu Taiping.
　　Facing this murderous aura, Xu Taiping still said neither humbly nor arrogantly：
　　”I’m afraid that Old Man Qian’s friend wouldn’t want to see Old Man Qian kill an innocent person in vain, right？”
　　When Qian Yi heard this, he snorted coldly and then looked at Liu Chuxuan and said：
　　”Liu Chuxuan, I’ll give you at most two days to interrogate.”
　　When speaking up to here, Qian Yi suddenly increased his tone and said viciously：
　　”After two days, I will come to pick up the person myself！”
　　After saying this, Qian Yi, with a face full of anger, flicked his sleeves and left.
　　After Qian Yi left, Liu Chuxuan seemed to have let out a sigh of relief and exhaled lightly.
　　Then he turned his head to look at Xu Taiping again and said seriously：
　　“Don’t worry, if the murderer is really not you, our Jiufu will definitely give you a reasonable explanation！”
　　As he spoke, he waved his hand vigorously, and several elders of the Jiufu escorted Xu Taiping towards the hidden door of the main passage to the Jiufu Grand Prison in the main hall.
　　And just at this time, in Xu Taiping’s mind, the voice of Fairy Lingyue suddenly rang out——
　　“Taiping, you can now use the spiritual bead you swallowed into your abdomen to transmit sound to me.”
　　Xu Taiping immediately tried while walking：
　　“Sister Lingyue, can you hear me？”
　　Soon, the voice of Fairy Lingyue rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind again——
　　“Huh, fortunately, the spiritual bead Li Daoyan gave you can help you avoid the prohibition on Zhenyun Peak.”
　　Fairy Lingyue immediately transmitted the sound and asked：
　　“Taiping, how is the situation on your side？”
　　Xu Taiping replied without changing his expression：
　　“The situation just now in the main hall was almost exactly the same as the scene deduced in the second soul mark of Liantong.”
The Jiufu identified me as the murderer, and they are preparing to detain me in the prison.
　　Half a stick of incense ago, when Xu Taiping confirmed that Qian Yi was for Chu Qiuya and came to arrest him, he very decisively opened the second soul mark deduced by Lotus Eye.
　　And one of the scenes revealed by that mark was exactly the same as the scene when Liu Chuxuan and Qian Yi questioned Xu Taiping in the main hall just now.
　　Fairy Lingyue immediately asked nervously：
　　“The acupoints they sealed with the soul needle are also the same as in the scene deduced by Lotus Eye？”
　　Xu　Taiping　replied：
　　“The same.”
　　Xu　Taiping　added：
　　“Sister Lingyue, don’t worry. I have already, according to the method you taught, before those elders sealed my acupoints with the soul needle, accumulated a large amount of saber qi thunder in those acupoints.”
“Now, as long as I circulate those saber qi thunder, I should be able to scrap these soul needles.”
　　Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingyue immediately relaxed and said：
　　“That’s good.”
　　Fairy Lingyue immediately transmitted her voice to Xu Taiping in a serious tone：
　　“Since Lotus Eye’s deduction is correct, then next in the prison.”
　　Fairy Lingyue paused for a moment, and then took a deep breath and said：
　　“You may have to face alone, the assassination from Su Chan.”
