Overriding the Heaven

Dai Qiu fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, the darkness in his mind split apart like a bolt of lightning.    

Her eyes lit up and she could not help but blurt out, "Pantheon …"    

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ji Fengtang with a wave of his hand.    

Ji Fengtang laughed coldly again and again, the killing intent in his eyes welling up.    

"I never thought that there would be a fish that escaped the net, Ji Kuang Shen. Heh, the more I think about this name, the more I feel disgusted."    

"Teacher, do you think that Ji Kuangshen revealed something that led to Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Zhao's death?" Although Dai Qiu had also thought of this, she had no way to use a causal link between the two events.    

"Dai Qiu, you shall be punished with a ceremony. You can only arrest your disciple." Scanning the other party, Ji Fengtang asked, "How are the steps?"    

Without hesitation, Dai Qiu said, "We will first find the evidence. The evidence is conclusive. After that, we will go and apprehend the criminal disciple."    

"What if there's no evidence?" Ji Fengtang said meaningfully, "After all, some things are not done by those disciples on the spur of the moment.    

"As long as you identify him, then sometimes you don't have to talk about evidence." Dai Qiu answered confidently.    

The instant she finished speaking, she understood the meaning of her teacher's words.    

In this world, there was not much that needed to be proven.    

If his hands and feet were clean and he did not leave behind any clues, then the only thing that could lead to a flaw could be changed from 'doubtful' to 'certain'.    

"I see." Dai Qiu nodded, "Thank you for teacher's teachings."    

Ji Fengtang closed his eyes and thought for a moment, before giving the order to Dai Qiu.    

"Dai Qiu, next, I want you to do two things for me."    

"Please speak, Teacher."    

"The first thing I need to do is to find out what kind of people I met and what happened to the Pantheon after I entered the borders of the Yunao Kingdom.    

Last but not least, keep it as secret as possible.    

However, at a critical moment, I will allow you to reveal your identity.    

But don't let them suspect us of what we're doing. "    

"Yes sir!" Dai Qiu nodded.    

Ji Fengtang looked at her deeply, and added: "Especially those few disciples of the Shattered Star Pavilion, they have been in contact with Ji Kuang Shen for long enough. The longer they stay in contact with him, the more they need to investigate him thoroughly."    

These words, Ji Fengtang almost directly mentioned Chu Yan's name.    

"Disciple understands!" Dai Qiu's expression turned cold as he replied.    

"The second thing." Ji Fengtang took a deep breath. Clearly, he had also gone through a round of struggle and hesitation.    

In the end, he made up his mind.    

"Go and prepare some things for me. You must go and find these things yourself. You must not let anyone else find out."    

The way Ji Fengtang said these words, was even more careful and cautious than when he first spoke.    

From the looks of it, he seemed to be very afraid of others finding out about this.    

"Please speak, Teacher." Having followed Ji Fengtang for so many years, Dai Qiu was well aware of his teacher's style of doing things.    

For him to be so cautious now, it must be a big matter.    

"Alright, help me find the following materials within ten days as fast as you can."    

Ji Fengtang quickly said the names of more than ten materials.    

At the beginning, a look of doubt appeared on Dai Qiu's face.    

In the end, her face turned paler and paler.    

If one were to look at just a few of these materials, one wouldn't feel that they were useful.    

It wasn't good to set up a formation, nor was it good to concoct pills.    

However, when listening to the complete set of over ten materials, and also have some understanding of certain forbidden techniques.    

Then, they would realise that the reason Ji Fengtang needed these materials was to recruit souls!    

Spirit Summoning, a type of ghostly technique.    

All living beings of the world definitely had souls.    

After the death of the living body, the soul would gradually dissipate.    

To a certain extent, summoning the spirit was to forcefully absorb all the ghosts that should not have existed in this world.    

Things that affected the balance of the world were naturally not allowed to happen.    

Furthermore, summoning souls was an offense against the dead.    

The unloved one of the Blue Feather Sect who was in charge of the punishment actually knew the ways of the ghosts.    

If this matter were to be spread out, the entire Blue Feather Sect would be affected.    

In fact, only Ji Fengtang and his most trusted disciple, Dai Qiu, knew of this secret.    

After he finished speaking, Ji Fengtang nodded towards Dai Qiu, "You can go now, the faster the better. If you take too long, your soul will dissipate or you will fall into hell, and then there will be no value at all."    

"Yes sir!"    

Dai Qiu accepted the order and immediately left the palace.    

At this moment, she understood Ji Fengtang's intention.    

Ji Fengtang wanted to immediately call out Xiao Taijin's and Zhao Yu's souls, and from their soul mouths, he asked who it was that killed them.    

When the soul appeared in this world, every moment was filled with pain.    

This pain was like throwing a living person into boiling oil.    

Furthermore, it was the type that would constantly fry and would not cause him to faint from the pain.    

Because the soul should not exist in this world.    

In order to clear away any possible threats to himself, Ji Fengtang did not even spare the soul of his disciple.    

One could clearly see just how ruthless he was.    

However, as the disciple who had followed Ji Fengtang the longest, Dai Qiu was already used to it.    

Not long after she left the palace, she sped along, arriving at a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain of Blue Feather Sect.    

Standing there for a moment, whoosh whoosh whoosh, three cultivators dressed in the robes of Blue Feather Sect disciples leapt out from the forest and stood in unison as they knelt down on one knee in front of Dai Qiu.    

"Paying respect to the hall master!"    

At this moment, Dai Qiu no longer had the respectful and cautious expression he had when facing Ji Fengtang. Instead, he had a coldness that made people tremble with fear.    

"Subordinate has followed him all the way here and has already investigated him." The three disciples spoke in unison.    

They then raised a scroll high up in the air and placed it in front of Dai Qiu.    

"Very good." Dai Qiu nodded his head and took the scroll into his hands. He asked, "You haven't been discovered yet, right?"    

One of the disciples quickly responded: "This subordinate has been careful along the way and has not been discovered by the Fire Emissary. However, the realm of the Fire Emissaries is far higher than that of the disciples, so this disciple does not dare to follow close to them.    

This subordinate will have no way of knowing exactly what the Fire Envoy did, who he met, or what he said. "    

The other two responded in the same manner.    

"Yes." Dai Qiu narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he looked at the two people behind him and said, "Since you two don't dare to be too close to each other, then the two of you probably don't know about the news of Lei Shi's death, right?"    

"Hmm?"    

"Huh?"    

"What?"    

The three disciples that were kneeling on the ground all raised their heads, revealing looks of extreme shock.    

The faces of the two disciples who were tasked to follow Xiao Taijin and his, suddenly turned even paler.    

"Hmm, seeing your reactions, you really don't know." Dai Qiu nodded.    

"This subordinate deserves to die. Hall Master, please spare my life!"    

"This subordinate deserves to die. Hall Master, please forgive me!"    

Before Dai Qiu could speak, the two disciples had already begun begging for mercy, kowtowing heavily.    

With just a few bangs, their foreheads were already badly mutilated, and blood spattered on the ground.
