Chapter 110: You Are The One Who Killed Zhang Wenbin, Right?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If there were other people as witnesses, it would be very difficult for this pot of stinky water to splash on Fang Yuan, unless Fang Yuan himself was already stinky.

But looking at how confident he was, it seemed like…

It did not seem like there was any dirt on him.

Long Zhen did not know what to say for a moment.

Gu Zhenren! put down the book in his hand and looked at him indifferently. “You have nothing to say?”

Long Zhen hesitated for a while, but he still said stubbornly, “Perhaps, Zhang Wenbin was killed by the person from the Gu Demon Sect after he met Martial Nephew Fang on the street?”

“Killed?”

Gu Zhenren asked, “You mean Fang Yuan is framing a dead person on purpose?”

His voice suddenly became stern, “Think before you speak, why did I ask you to investigate this matter thoroughly!”

Long Zhen was so scared that he shivered and bowed to listen to the lecture.

Gu Zhenren expressionlessly glanced at him and called out in a deep voice, “Wang Mo!”

“Tam here!”

The examiner’s voice came from behind, and then Fang Yuan saw him walking out with documents.

Gu Zhenren slowly walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, his majestic voice spreading throughout the entire space. “Read it to him.”

The examiner stood diagonally in front of the main seat and read aloud.

“On the night of the 4th day of the 9th month of the Yan Shen calendar, the investigation hall’s consular elder, Long Zhen, met the Fourth Elder at a secret place in the outer sect. The Fourth Elder used eight kilograms of Gold quality Gu refinement materials as a gift, making him agree to frame Fang Yuan

for Zhang Wenbin’s death.”

“After investigation, Long Zhen and the Fourth Elder are cousins, and he is the Fourth Elder’s most important confidant in the sect’s court.”

“On the 6th day of the 9th month of the Yan Shen calendar, Long Zhen rushed to Fanshu City’s sect inn, asking the surrounding disciples for their impression of Zhang Wenbin’s whereabouts. After confirming that they had not seen him, he destroyed a lot of Zhang Wenbin’s traces of secretly going out.”

“The next day, Long Zhen…”

“Enough.” Gu Zhenren suddenly raised his hand.

‘The examiner immediately stopped talking.

Meanwhile, Long Zhen was already trembling all over and prostrating on the ground.

Gu Zhenren looked at him indifferently. “Long Zhen, you have worked by my side for so many years. Have I ever mistreated you?”

… | have let down the sect master’s kindness…”

Long Zhen’s voice trembled. “I am old and made a mistake in the moment. I implore the sect master to punish me severely!”

Fang Yuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at the side. Was he retreating in order to advance? He didn’t expect this old fellow to play the emotional card!

But Gu Zhenren only said indifferently, “When you are old, you should give the opportunity to the young people.”

Long Zhen’s body trembled. He understood that Gu Zhenren was asking him to abdicate his position.

But he hadn’t had enough of such a good position as the investigation hall’s consular elder!

Long Zhen hesitated for a moment, but he still tried to probe. “I understand. When I go back today, I’ll go to the outer sect to take in a few smart disciples and carefully nurture them.”

“Why? Not satisfied?” Gu Zhenren’s gaze turned sharp.

“No… I don’t dare…”

Long Zhen’s expression darkened. He knew that he had taken the wrong path and was already destined to be eliminated.

Gu Zhenren waved his hand and looked at Wang Mo. “From today onwards, all those who have a title in the investigation hall will be promoted by one grade. Long Zhen will be transferred to the primeval stone mining hall and become a manager elder.”

‘Wang Mo cupped his fists, “Yes, I will inform the entire sect right away.”

Long Zhen’s face was ashen.

The primeval stone gathering hall was responsible for mining in the sect’s primeval stone mines. There were at least a hundred manager elders, and they did not have any real power at all.

Compared to the position of the investigation hall’s consular elder, it was like heaven and earth.

But he could only bear it silently.

After leaving with Wang Mo, Fang Yuan was the only one left in the hall.

Facing his disciple, Gu Zhenren put on a dignified expression and said with a warm smile, “Bring the books over.”

Fang Yuan followed his instructions and went forward, asking curiously, “Master, why are you suddenly looking at these records of the monster race?”

“Do you still remember the item you bought at the auction a few days ago?”

“That token?”

“That’s right, that is an item from the monster race.”

“Huh?”

Fang Yuan was shocked. “Didn’t the monster race escape into the distant sea, why would their item appear here?”

“It’s hard to say.”

Gu Zhenren shook his head slowly. “However, combined with the ‘chaotic disaster star phenomenon’ that I detected with the Fortune-telling Gu, I am worried that the monster race will make a comeback.”

“Wouldn’t that be a disaster?”

Fang Yuan could not help but worry. He had not grown much yet. Was he going to encounter such a world-class crisis?

He was only at the Enlightenment Realm!

Even young monsters had the cultivation level of the Enlightenment Realm. With Fang Yuan’s insignificant ability, it was fine if he bullied his human compatriots, but if he were to encounter the regular army of the monster race, he did not even have the right to stuff the gaps between their teeth.

Gu Zhenren could see the unease in his heart, and he smiled. “There is no need to worry too much, our ancestors had already thought of this possibility. Back then, the five emperors worked together to use the entire Jiuzhou as a formation map and set up an isolation formation. Even if a tribulation

transcending expert came, they would not be able to break it so easily.”

Fang Yuan was deeply shocked.

Using the entire Jiuzhou as a formation map?

It must’ve been a joke, right?

Just how big was Jiuzhou?

Fuck…

It could easily fit a hundred thousand Gu Immortal Sects!

This formation was set up just like that?

Tribulation transcending experts were so terrifying!

‘As expected of great experts from ancient times, this method would topple the imagination of modern Gu masters.

“The invasion of the monster race is just a conjecture, but right now, there is an enemy that we need to be wary of.”

Gu Zhenren’s words brought Fang Yuan back to reality.

Fang Yuan thought for a moment. “The Gu Demon Sect?”

“You are much smarter than your first senior. You can figure it out easily.”

Gu Zhenren nodded in satisfaction and continued, “However, after the incident with Zhang Wenbin, the initiative is already in our hands.’

“What does this have to do with Zhang Wenbin…”

Gu Zhenren stared at him. “I just praised you for your intelligence, but you can’t guess i

Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. “No matter how smart I am, I can’t compare to Master. How would I know what you are thinking…”

Gu Zhenren laughed heartily at his flattery.

“Alright, alright, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

He stopped smiling and looked at Fang Yuan deeply. Suddenly, he said, “You are the one who killed Zhang Wenbin, right?”
