Overriding the Heaven

His gaze continuously changed.    

Chu Yan did not urge him to do so. Instead, he walked back to his original seat, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.    

He wasn't in a hurry.    

Kong Xian looked at Chu Yan, and after a while, he let out a long breath, "Sorry, I didn't want to lie to you at all."    

"If I were to tell you, I would have already seen that that person's relationship with you was not ordinary, and then I would have intentionally left it out, quietly watching your performance. Would you be angry?" Chu Yan drank a mouthful of water, then said to Kong Xian.    

"So we're even now?" Kong Xian laughed.    

He knew that since Chu Yan had said so, it meant that the other party did not plan to bother about this matter.    

Looking at Chu Yan, Kong Xian slowly stopped smiling.    

A hint of reminiscence and contemplation appeared in his eyes. "She's my maid from before …"    

"Alright, that's enough." Chu Yan interrupted the other party's words.    

Kong Xian originally had a lot of things he wanted to say, even to the point that he wanted to say them out loud.    

However, just as he started, he was interrupted by Chu Yan.    

Those thousands of words were forcefully held in his chest, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.    

His Highness the King Xiang almost scratched his head: "You don't want to hear me finish?"    

"I really don't want to." Chu Yan pointed to the rocks that had changed color, "Right now, I really want to know what they wanted to do after killing so many people in the cave."    

Kong Xian's attention was instantly attracted to Chu Yan.    

In fact, he also wanted to know the answer.    

Only, Kong Xian did not know that at this moment, Chu Yan had silently said those words in his heart.    

"If my maid had been made into that state, I would have avenged her."    

His Highness had to admit in his heart.    

Actually, when Kong Xian said that the person was his maid, he didn't blame her for hiding it.    

At the end of the day, it was still because he felt something similar to himself.    

In the past, he had a very obedient, thoughtful maid.    

Hopefully, he would be able to see her even better in the future.    

However, if something were to happen to her in the past few years, then as long as there were people involved, they would all be accounted for, and she would not be able to live a good life.    

The room went silent.    

However, this process didn't last long before Kong Xian interrupted it. "Although we have confirmed many things today, we have also aroused the Sunset Martial School's vigilance.    

I think the next few days, whether we go on patrol or not, if we walk out of here, we'll be watched by their people.    

And even if we go to inspect the mines, they'll send someone to follow us.    

Some of the previous evidence would most likely be destroyed at the very first moment.    

Finding conclusive evidence will be much more difficult than expected. "    

A look of worry appeared on Kong Xian's face as he looked at the two teacups he placed on the table earlier.    

These two teacups respectively represented the origin and result of this matter.    

However, the only thing missing was the link between the two: What exactly was the Setting Sun Door hiding?    

As time went on, it would become increasingly difficult to find out.    

Only now did Kong Xian feel that he had been too impulsive this time.    

But there was no other way.    

After all, the Setting Sun Sect was a sect with several celestial mood stage s.    

Even the Royal Mansion could not openly investigate the crime.    

Moreover, because of a few reasons right now, he couldn't reveal his true capabilities.    

Thinking of this, Kong Xian's heart couldn't help but ache once again.    

Just as Kong Xian was waiting for Chu Yan's opinion, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eyes that Chu Yan had stood up and was walking straight towards the door.    

"What are you going to do?" Kong Xian's eyes widened as he asked in surprise.    

"Didn't you just say that as long as we leave this place today, we will be targeted?" Chu Yan said.    

"Yes." Kong Xian was puzzled. "So?"    

"What do you think they're doing?" Chu Yan smiled mysteriously.    

"They're also discussing it …" Before she finished speaking, Kong Xian realised what Chu Yan was trying to do. He could not help but exclaim in a low voice, "You're going to the mining pit."    

"Yes." Chu Yan nodded his head, "Like you said, tonight is the last chance, and it's also the best chance.    

Furthermore, rather than trying to come up with a solution here, it would be better for me to take a look myself.    

If you say so, stay here.    

If anything really happens, you can help me stall for time. "    

"No, I can't let you go alone." Kong Xian shook his head, "They have the celestial mood stage. Once they discover you, they will immediately rush out of the wall, I'm afraid …"    

"celestial mood stage?" Chu Yan chuckled, "Do you know what it feels like to kill a celestial mood stage?"    

Kong Xian was startled, then immediately understood the meaning of Chu Yan's words.    

Instantly, his expression became extremely marvelous.    

"Actually, it's no different from killing a chicken." Chu Yan waved his hands and went straight out the door.    

Kong Xian watched as Chu Yan's back figure disappeared from his sight. Even after a long time, he still felt dizzy.    

Killing celestial mood stage, was the same as killing a chicken?    

This guy, killed someone from the celestial mood stage?    

This... How is this possible?    

But looking at Chu Yan's expression just now, Kong Xian felt that he was not lying.    

After a while, Kong Xian slowly breathed out.    

He touched his chest.    

"Looks like finding Chu Yan this time is indeed the right choice. He has killed many people with celestial mood stage, and I just so happen to be missing this opportunity.    

However, it didn't seem like a good idea to let him take the risk.    

I need to do something so that I can help him at a critical moment. "    

A thoughtful expression appeared in Kong Xian's eyes.    

...    

And it was tonight, at the same time, that the five celestial mood stage s sat cross-legged in a circle at a secret location deep within the Setting Sun Door.    

The crystal floating above their heads emitted light, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.    

However, at this moment, the five of them all had gloomy expressions.    

Especially Zhang Bo, his fat face was as black as the bottom of a pot.    

"So, someone really escaped?" Just then, Qiao Qianshui spoke out.    

Amongst the five of them, Qiao Qianshui looked the oldest.    

However, in the world of cultivators, seniority doesn't depend on age, but on cultivation.    

Furthermore, after being promoted to the celestial mood stage, even very old cultivators would be able to maintain their appearance at a certain age.    

To celestial mood stage cultivator, appearances were not very important.    

"I can see very well." Zhang Bo said coldly, "At that time, there was an additional person in the mine. It can't be wrong."    

"Could it be the shadow of a person, or a stone hidden in a dark corner? Back then, you were prejudiced, so you saw wrongly?" Fu Yan asked.    

Her voice was delicate and soft. When it entered the ears of others, they would involuntarily feel as if they were floating.    

"I said, I'm not seeing things wrong!" I can't tell if it's a shadow or a rock! " Zhang Bo roared.    

He was obviously angry with his companion for doubting him.    

His originally squinty eyes were now wide open.    

Zhang Bo clenched his teeth, looked at everyone one by one, and roared: "If you guys were here questioning me, why didn't you ask Dan Li, at that time, did he kill everyone?!"
