Chapter 218: Is Jiang Ji Sun Jue?

Sanjue Town is located at the foot of Dingjiao Mountain.
Because the mountain gate of Sanjue Hall is located on Dingjiao Mountain, the pedestrians coming and going at the foot of the mountain gradually gathered into a small town.
After centuries of development, the small town has become much more prosperous.
Today, there are many martial arts practitioners gathered in Sanjue Town.
According to reason, most of the martial arts forces in Yangzhou have dispatched a lot of people to the front line to resist the barbarians, so there should not be so many martial arts practitioners here.
Just the master of the Shen Ti realm at Sanjue Hall, Meng Shentong, suddenly returned to Sanjue Hall from the front lines.
And not long after, he gathered martial artists from Yangzhou to prepare to denounce Jiang Ji, the junior leader of the Beggar Sect, and seek revenge for his disciple, who is also the hall master of Sanjue Hall, Bu Feitian.
Originally, other martial arts forces would not get involved in such grievances.
After all, both the Sanjue Hall and the Beggar's Sect belong to the righteous path of the martial arts world.
If they get involved, it will be seen as inappropriate unless they have an extremely close relationship with the Sanjue Hall. Otherwise, no matter how they act, it won't be good.
Only the Shaolin Temple suddenly got involved, I don't know why they support Meng Shentong and plan to deal with Jiang Ji.
As a result, many martial arts forces, hindered by the face of the Shaolin Temple and the San Jue Hall, have come to the San Jue Hall to see what exactly is going on.
Simply put, they are here just to spectate and it is impossible for them to take action against Jiang Ji.
As a result, there are many martial artists gathered in Sanjue Town.
After all, they are just here to watch the excitement, so they cannot appear too familiar with Sanjue Hall.
Therefore, they temporarily stay in Sanjue Town and wait for Meng Shentong's hunting conference to start.
"Guests, please take your time."
After the waiter left, the two members of the Di Fire Sect looked at each other anxiously.
As the only two transcendental cultivators remaining in the Di Fire Sect, they had been keeping a low profile during this period, mainly focusing on crafting weapons and not getting involved in the disputes of the martial world.
Only unexpectedly, Meng sent a secret letter, and after they read it, they decided to come here.
"Senior brother, do you think this matter is reliable?"
Feng Baixin was filled with unease.
They haven't forgotten how Sun Jue turned the powerful Di Fire Sect into what it is now.
Moreover, Sun Jue once played around with the people of the five major forces and caused heavy losses.
As one of the five major forces, the Baichuan Gang has now become a bottom-tier small force.
If it wasn't for many people caring about the disappearance of Wei Sihai and some elite disciples of the Baichuan Gang, the Baichuan Gang would have long become a thing of the past.
Because we know how powerful Sun Jue is, we attended this event with some uncertainty in our hearts.
Yeshuang was also quite nervous, but managed to stay calm.
"We are just here to witness, so there's no need to worry too much. Even if the sky falls, there will be someone to support it."
冯柏微微颔首：“若是如此自然是好的，只怕到时候孟神通逼迫站队，到时候就麻烦了。”
Since the day I received the letter, worries like these have never ceased.
It's just that the grudge of the Earth Fire Sect is causing them to still plan a visit.
They don't even seek to take revenge personally, as long as they can see their enemies killed, they will be content.
"It's unlikely. If Meng Shentong becomes too aggressive, he will face backlash. Yangzhou is not his dictatorship. Other forces will not permit him to develop the Sanjue Hall beyond other sects."
"If something like this happens, they would even hope to use it to attack the Sanjue Hall."
"Meng Shentong couldn't possibly not think about this."
Ye Shuang picked up the glass on the table, guzzled it down, and made a satisfied sound.
"Good wine!"
Seeing that Ye Shuang seemed to have no pressure or anxiety, Feng Bai asked, "Senior Brother, why do I not see you being a bit nervous?"
Ye Shuang put down his wine glass, and though he was somewhat worried in his heart, he didn't show it.
"What is there to be nervous about? Even if Master Meng dies, it has little to do with us."
"You're right, but this matter is not only his affair..."
Feng Bai paused when he reached this point.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. How did Shaolin Temple get involved in this matter?"
This is something that puzzles many people.
Although Shaolin Temple is not a martial arts sect in Yangzhou, its influence is very significant and it has a great impact throughout China.
Just like this incident, with the participation of Shaolin Temple, it is completely different from without Shaolin Temple joining.
Many people are here just to see the excitement because of Shaolin Temple's participation.
This clearly shows the influence of Shaolin Temple.
For a sect that is like a leader of righteousness, to endorse Sanjue Hall as their platform, it is definitely something that many people, like Feng Bai, find hard to understand.
This is an unnecessary matter, at least for Shaolin Temple.
Ye Shuang pondered for a moment and replied: "Shaolin Temple has always been cautious, this incident is indeed somewhat suspicious, it reminded me of something."
Feng Bai asked interestingly, "What's the matter?"
"Do you remember that a monk died in Shaolin Temple before? And he was killed by the Six Destruction Demon Sword. After that, Shaolin Temple sent people to block the entrance of San Jue Hall. In the end, I don't know why it was dropped."
Ye Shuang thought of this matter and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was just like that.
Feng Bai still had some doubts: "So... senior brother, are you saying that Shaolin Temple had to come this time because they joined forces with Sanjue Hall due to some reasons back then?"
Ye Shuang shook her head repeatedly: "No, Shaolin Temple is probably here voluntarily. Do you remember there was another suspect in this case?"
"Another suspect?"
Feng Bai carefully recalled and exclaimed, "Sun Jue?"
"That's right, it's Sun Jue. At that time, Sanjue Hall firmly believed that Sun Jue was responsible for the death of Master Faming, and the reason was that Sun Jue used the Six Annihilation Demon Sword to kill Yang Ting, the Governor of Chuanxing County."
"However, at that time, Sun Jue's mastery of the Six Destruction Demon Blade was ordinary, so the one with the greater suspicion is Bu Feitian from the Three Absolute Halls."
Hearing Ye Shuang's words, Feng Bai suddenly remembered everything.
"Senior brother, are you saying that Sun Jue is indeed the murderer who killed Monk Faming?"
Ye Shuang nodded, "I believe so, otherwise there would be no way to explain why Shaolin Temple suddenly stopped pursuing and instead came to help Sanjue Hall."
Feng Baimi frowned as he pondered the whole matter.
After a while, he finally said, "So you're saying that what Meng Shentong said about Jiang Ji being responsible for Sun Jue is highly likely to be true?"
"Probably, this Jiang Ji's appearance was abrupt, and as soon as he appeared, his martial arts were so powerful. Judging by the time of his appearance, it happened to be during the period when Sun Jue disappeared."
Ye Shuang and Feng Bai came over because Meng Shentong mentioned this matter in his confidential letter.
However, the two have always been skeptical.
Although the timing matches, their martial arts paths are completely different.
Sun Jue is most famous for his incredible horizontal exercises, while Jiang Ji is a master of the impeccable Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms, which are powerful enough to confront the godly realm.
But since Meng Shentong said so, he must have enough evidence.
And Shaolin Temple's stance also confirms the truth of this matter.
Feng Bai sighed, a face full of melancholy: "Even if this is true, we are just spectators, the real protagonists have never been us."
Ye Shuang said, "What's there to be sad about in the spring and autumn? Living well is the right thing to do. Why care about others' opinions?"
"You're right, Senior Brother!"
……
Not far away, Sun Jue, who had changed his appearance, leisurely sipped tea and ate pastries.
The conversation between Ye Shuang and Feng Bai can be kept secret from others, but this is because of their extraordinary cultivation, which allows them to conceal their conversation with true energy.
For Sun Jue, it is not difficult at all to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"I didn't expect that Shaolin Temple and Sanjue Hall would be connected because of this."
"If it weren't for today's incident, Sun Jue would have forgotten about it."
After all, the strength of Master Faming at that time might have been somewhat challenging for him.
But for Sun Jue now, it's not worth mentioning.
The Indestructible Diamond Skill is also no match for Sun Jue's current sword.
"However, I wonder which experts from the Shaolin Temple are coming. Since they are going to besiege me, they wouldn't send ordinary people. I wonder which of the two Divine Body Realm experts from the Shaolin Temple is coming?"
The two high-level martial arts masters at Shaolin Temple are the head of the Bodhi Academy, who has attained enlightenment through the Dharma, and the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Fa Kong.
Generally speaking, the abbot Fa Kong does not easily leave Shaolin Temple, considering his position as the abbot.
So in general, when a high-level expert of Shenmen Realm is needed, they usually go out for a police investigation to get it done.
Sun Jue guessed that the people from Shaolin Temple who came this time were likely to be police investigators.
"If it's only these two people, then although it's a bit dangerous this time, it's still acceptable."
Sun Jue's spiritual perception had already warned before he arrived.
After the previous incident, Sun Jue was even more cautious this time, so he didn't immediately approach the Sanjue Hall.
Instead, he was wandering around the town, gathering the information he needed unintentionally stumbling upon the two elders of the Di Huo Sect.
The information he obtained from them was enough for Sun Jue to make a preliminary judgment.
"However, it is not ruled out that there may be hidden ambushes. After all, Meng Shentong cannot be unaware of the strength I demonstrated when dealing with the Barbarian King alone before."
"And if Meng Shentong is so public about it, does it mean that he believes he has enough power to deal with me?"
With this in mind, Sun Jue became even more cautious.
"Perhaps I can change my identity and infiltrate first, observe their interactions, and at the same time find out their details," he thought.
……
On the second day, on the top of Dingjiao Mountain.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come and support us. Thank you so much, really, thank you all."
Meng Shentong stood near the mountain gate, continuously greeting everyone and engaging in small talk.
If it was the original Meng Shentong, he would even disdain such matters.
But now he actively worries about such matters, and he is even the first initiator, which shows his resentment towards Sun Jue.
Each visitor greeted one another and exchanged a few words before being led by disciples of Sanjue Hall to the main hall of the sect.
Everyone took their seats, including Ye Shuang and Feng Bai, the two senior brothers from the Di Huo Sect.
There were acquaintances, so they started chatting with each other for the time being.
Of course, the topic naturally revolved around this matter, especially the specific plans of Meng Shentong.
And sitting in the first seat of the hall is the venerable monk of Shaolin Temple.
Although the venerable monk's beard has turned white, judging from his face alone, he looks only in his thirties or forties.
At this point, while others were discussing the matter in pairs, the forensic expert remained still like a sage in a bustling market.
The others were considerate enough not to disturb him.
After a long time, Meng Shentong entered the main hall of the sect with the last martial arts colleague.
"Thank you all for taking the time to come and participate in this matter. It truly gives me face and I am extremely grateful."
Meng Shentong first thanked everyone.
Then he changed the subject: "I invited you all here for a reason, perhaps some of you have already heard about it, but it's somewhat secretive, and I'm sure none of you know about it."
All eyes were focused on Meng Shentong, and then curious voices began to inquire.
Only a few individuals, like Ye Shuang from the Earth Fire Sect and Feng Bai, had already guessed and had an idea of what Meng Shentong was about to say.
As expected, Master Meng said: "Please come to witness something."
"Before, my Sanjue Hall joined forces with Governor Lu Shiyuan to resist the barbarians in the name of righteousness."
"But the Deputy Leader of the Beggar's Sect, Jiang Ji, actually took the opportunity of a dispute to mercilessly kill his junior apprentice, Bu Feitian. If I hadn't run fast, I might have also met with the same fate."
"So I invited you all here today to be witnesses."
"I, Meng Shentong, will definitely kill Jiang Jixiao to avenge my junior brother!"
The hall fell into an eerie silence.
For most people, this is not something they can get involved in.
So it's better to play it safe.
Meng Shentong has already anticipated this situation, but when it really happens, it still feels a bit disheartening.
But fortunately, he never expected anything from these people.
Meng Shentong's gaze fell on Fazheng and continued, "In addition, there is one more thing I need to tell everyone, and that is that this Jiang Ji is the Sun Ju who has been causing all the trouble before!"
As soon as the name Sun Jue was mentioned, it immediately triggered a discussion among the people in the lobby.
This incident was truly unexpected.
Meng Shentong was quite satisfied with this effect.
"I know that everyone has many doubts in their hearts, and now we will have the forensic expert answer your questions."
Forensic timely stood up and faced everyone: "Amitabha, this matter needs to be explained by Master Faming."
