Chapter 86: The Angry Mother of Fire
Taoist Songhe kept talking to himself, and in his words, Shiji became an unforgivable murderer who often abused the boy Biyun.
After the Biyun boy got into trouble, he was eager to distance himself from the Biyun boy.
So in his eyes, Shiji is the most suspicious.
Yang Jian nodded: "In that case, do you dare to go with me to confront Master Shiji?"
Taoist Songhe's expression froze instantly, and he said angrily: "Master Shiji is at the level of a celestial being, and she can easily kill me. How dare I confront her? I can come here to tell you all this because of your strong background, so please don't harm me.
What I said before was all speculation, without any solid evidence."
After saying this, Taoist Songhe was about to leave on a cloud.
Yang Jian suddenly thought of something, stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked, "Master Duobao asked all the immortals on Jin'ao Island to be self-reliant and make full use of their value. Do you know what Biyun Tongzi did when he was alive?"
Taoist Songhe: "I have heard Daoist Fellow Biyun say once or twice that he was responsible for refining fine iron and assisting in laying out the Jin'ao Island Refining Array, but the array has been refined for several months, and Daoist Fellow Biyun has not been there recently."
Fine iron!
Yang Jian's heart was shocked.
Thinking of the fine iron that the Golden Spirit Mother nurtured in the cave, each one contained abundant Gengjin sword energy.
If someone obtained this fine iron and refined it into weapons, they would use the weapons to kill the Green Cloud Boy in order to put the blame on the Golden Spirit Mother.
This makes sense.
Yang Jian suddenly understood and stepped aside, letting Taoist Songhe leave.
Looking at a white cloud leaving the sky.
He looked at Yu Yuan and asked, "Do you know where the refined iron that Master has nurtured will end up, and who is responsible for guarding it?"
Yu Yuan realized something and his pupils shrank: "Holy Mother of Fire Spirit! The output of all the immortals on Jin'ao Island will eventually be handed over to the leader's eldest disciple, Taoist Duobao, and he will let the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit be responsible for the allocation of resources."
As a direct disciple of Duobao Zhenren, Holy Mother of Fire Spirit has a wealthy family and lives high up in the Zhaixing Tower.
When Yang Jian arrived at his cave, he asked about the formation.
Not long after, a girl in red came flying over with a puzzled look on her face.
He is not tall, and has a childish face. He wears a golden crown on his head, a white robe, and a layer of red gauze on the outside. His skin is as white as snow, and his body is neither fat nor thin. His waist is neither thin nor thick, and he looks elegant and luxurious.
The girl saw the two men and found that they were both strangers. She said without any politeness: "Who gave you the courage to disturb my sweet dreams? You are so stupid!"
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit is surprisingly a person with a bad temper.
It really doesn't match his cute face.
She looked at Yang Jian and said, "You pretty boy, you don't think that I will be attracted to you just because you are handsome. You actually want to seduce me with your male beauty. I will teach you a lesson."
Just as Yang Jian was about to speak, he saw a flash of golden light from the golden crown on the girl's head.
He suddenly felt a pain in his chest and was knocked flying.
He adjusted his body in mid-air, and with one hand, the three-pointed, double-edged sword flew out from his sleeve and flew towards the Holy Mother of Fire.
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit frowned. She had used only her magical power in the attack she had just made, but it was enough to knock an ordinary mortal who had not yet achieved immortality to the ground.
But the man in front of him was completely unharmed and even had enough strength to fight back.
"How dare you! You dare to fight back! I'll see if I can't kill you with my Samadhi True Fire!"
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit frowned, her almond-shaped eyes widened, her lips slightly opened, and a scorching breath suddenly emerged.
"Master Huo Ling, I am Yu Hua! Yu Yuan's apprentice. Master Yang Jian is the disciple of the Holy Mother Jin Ling. The two of us came here just to ask Master Huo Ling some questions. We have no improper intentions!"
Yu Hua hurriedly explained.
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit then realized that there was another person next to her. When she heard what Yu Hua said, she immediately realized that she had misunderstood the two of them.
The Samadhi True Fire that was about to burst out of his mouth suddenly disappeared.
She had already reached the immortal realm, and her magical powers were in control smoothly and effortlessly, so it was naturally no difficulty for her to stop at this point.
But Yang Jian was different. His strength had just increased to one million pounds not long ago, and he couldn't fully control it at the moment.
He was enraged by the Fire Spirit Mother's behavior of striking her without any reason, and now he attacked her with hatred. When he wanted to stop, it was too late.
The overwhelming attack, like a mountain pressing down on her head, had already reached the head of the Holy Mother of Fire.
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit originally had time to dodge, but she seemed to have great support and did not dodge, but stood under the blade.
"Boom~"
There was a loud noise.
The shock makes people's eardrums hurt.
The golden crown on the head of the Holy Mother of Fire shook suddenly, blocking the sword that Yang Jian was about to chop down.
Cracks appeared on the golden light shield.
The Fire Spirit Mother's eyes were instantly filled with fear. Even the Golden Crown could not block this attack. She thought her life would end here.
It's too late to regret now. If I had known earlier, the other party would not be able to restrain his strength.
"Bang~"
The golden light protecting the body shattered.
Yang Jian's sword attack was finally over. He retracted the three-pointed, double-edged sword, and a hint of relief flashed through his mind. Fortunately, the Fire Spirit Mother had an extraordinary golden crown on her head, otherwise it would have been a big trouble.
The Fire Mother patted her chest thankfully and breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Yang Jian in shock, trying to figure out what kind of monster this was.
The opponent's strength was average, but he was able to shatter her protective glow with one blow. It was obvious that only a person with extremely strong physical strength could do that.
She suppressed her shock, looked at Yang Jian and said, "So you are the disciple accepted by Senior Uncle Jin Ling? I misunderstood you just now. I apologize to you, Junior Brother."
"Some of my disciples only want to practice dual cultivation with me and take the opportunity to get close to my master. I am really annoyed by this, so I had this misunderstanding just now."
The Fire Mother continued to explain.
After saying that, she took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve and handed it to him: "Junior brother, are you injured? I have healing medicine here."
Yang Jian waved his hand casually, indicating that it was not necessary. He was caught off guard and was hit, and it just made his blood boil, but it was actually nothing serious.
He told them that the purpose of his visit was to find out the cause of Biyun Tongzi's death, and told them all the strange things he found.
Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit Mother’s expression instantly became serious.
He hurriedly turned around and returned to the cave.
Yang Jian wanted to follow, but was blocked by the formation.
He didn't wait outside for long.
After a while, the Fire Mother came flying over holding a jade slip.
His face turned pale, obviously he had discovered something unusual.
"Sure enough, the refined iron that Master Jin Ling used for the sacrifice is actually 30% less!"
"Then~"
Yang Jian was about to continue asking.
"Yes, there is indeed something wrong with that Biyun boy. Thirty percent of the missing iron is from the refined iron he handled."
Holy Mother Fire Spirit spoke confidently, but her brows soon knitted together again: "However, Jin'ao Island has been closed for three hundred years. Except for the Golden Immortal who can enter and exit freely, it is impossible for Biyun Boy to leave Jin'ao Island with his cultivation level. Where would he hide so much refined iron?
Moreover, his movements are recorded on Jin'ao Island on weekdays, so it is impossible for him to hide the refined iron containing Gengjin sword energy outside the island."
Yang Jian thought thoughtfully: "It seems that the death of Biyun Boy was most likely due to someone silencing him. As for where he hid the refined iron~"
"Could it be Shiji?"
The Fire Spirit Mother suddenly pointed her spear at Biyun Tongzi's master Shiji.
In her opinion, apart from Shiji, who else could make Biyun boy take such a huge risk to do such a thing?
Before his death, Boy Biyun had been to Shiji Cave, and it is very likely that the fine iron was hidden in his cave.
