Chapter 219 Clues interrupted
"This courtyard is much smaller than the one in the Cultivator Alliance, but for a Qi-cultivating cultivator, it is large enough to accommodate a family of three. With such generosity, it is no wonder that Lianyun Market became the most prosperous market under Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect."
In Li Ji's yard, after looking around, Ye Qingyang couldn't help but admire the generosity of Lianyunfang City.
Then, he looked at Fang Chen, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, "I remember that Li Ji didn't have a good relationship with you, right? Why did you come to the courtyard where he once lived?"
"Although Li Ji is a petty person, I only had a minor conflict with him before, and the only interest involved was only twenty low-grade spirit stones. If you were him, and heard that I was leaving Lianyunfang City, would you not hesitate to hire a thief and kill me yourself?"
Fang Chen did not answer directly, but asked in return.
"I probably wouldn't, but you also said that he has begun practicing magic cultivation techniques, so his temperament may have become more narrow-minded. Isn't this also your previous opinion?"
Ye Qingyang shook his head, and then pointed out Li Ji's differences.
"Yes, everything made sense until recently, when I discovered something was not right."
Fang Chen did not refute Ye Qingyang's statement. After all, this was the conclusion he had originally come to.
"What's not right?"
Ye Qingyang was curious and asked immediately.
"How did he know the day I left Lianyunfang City? I never told anyone, except to a few people on the day I was leaving..."
The only ones who knew that he was leaving Lianyunfang City were Zhou Xingyun, the owner of Lianyun Pavilion, and Zhou Xingyun's third uncle.
Zhou Xingyun stayed by his side all the time and later got drunk. Even though the other two were Li Ji's informants, they only knew that Fang Chen was going to leave, but they didn't know that Fang Chen would leave that day.
Zhou Xinghai's words further confirmed Fang Chen's thoughts.
Li Ji submitted his resignation to Zhou Xinghai a few days before Fang Chen was about to leave Lianyunfang City.
In other words, he had already known that Fang Chen planned to leave Lianyunfang City in the near future.
So this becomes a big question.
"Hearing what you said, there is indeed something wrong."
Ye Qingyang touched his chin. This was indeed difficult to explain. At least he couldn't think of the reason, so he asked Fang Chen again: "So you want to come here to see if there are any clues?"
"No, I already have a rough idea of what the clue is."
Fang Chen shook his head, then took out the ghost domain Yin Huai from his dantian and opened the entrance to the ghost domain.
"City Lord, is that possible?"
Seeing his series of actions, Ye Qingyang knew what he was going to do. He immediately used the perception of a Jindan cultivator and immediately discovered a soul without a body in the courtyard.
He immediately said in surprise: "There really is a person's soul here!"
Fang Chen ignored him. Attracted by the power of the evil spirits in the ghost realm, the soul quickly entered the ghost realm.
In the ghost realm, Fang Chen's spiritual consciousness was also able to sense the shape and face of souls.
The soul looked exactly like Fang Chen's impression of Li Ji.
"Sure enough, the person who came to kill me was not Li Ji at all."
At this point, Fang Chen was able to make a judgment.
Over the next period of time, the ghost realm will devour Li Ji's memories of his life and his murderous aura. His memory will be needed to assist in inferring what happened.
However, based on my own experience, I can easily draw a conclusion.
That is to control Li Ji's body and assassinate his own soul, which belongs to him.
Similarly, after being certified by the tree spirit, the so-called original owner's soul is essentially the same as his own.
"What is this? I took over my own body, and then I took over the body of my enemy, and then I controlled my enemy's body to kill me?"
Fang Chen murmured to himself, of course, Li Ji could not be considered an enemy, he could only be said to be someone with whom he had some conflicts.
"To sort it out from the beginning, the original owner, that is, my parents, pretended to die in the Lianyun Mountains. After I learned of this information, I immediately rushed into the Lianyun Mountains, and then my soul was wiped out by them, and my soul was implanted there." Just talking about this step, there are countless complaints.
If the original owner's parents really intended to use the original owner's body to do something, and Fang Chen was involved, why did they have to do all this in the Lianyun Mountains?
Wouldn't it be enough to just do it in the courtyard and then implant a false memory?
Anyway, when Fang Chen just crossed over, he received a false memory, which was that after the original owner heard the news of his parents' death, he cried in the courtyard all night and died of excessive grief.
"Besides, what was the purpose of the original owner's parents doing this? Could it be the Tianyan Life-giving Method? But what good would it do them if I mastered the Tianyan Life-giving Method?"
There were too many things that he couldn't figure out, and while thinking, Fang Chen inadvertently tapped his forehead with his fingers.
Seeing his expression, Ye Qingyang knew that he was thinking about something important and didn't want him to know, so he stood aside without saying a word.
Fang Chen also began the next deduction.
Let’s not talk about what happened on his side after he came here.
When he was about to break through the fourth level of Qi training, another of his soul took over Li Ji's body, and the purpose of this soul was to kill him.
"Why would the other me kill me?"
Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly felt a little regretful. At that time, the other self had not yet condensed his spiritual power, but he directly used his spiritual power to kill it.
This also caused the memory of the other self to almost completely disappear.
Otherwise, Fang Chen would have discovered the loophole earlier.
Of course, even if he had discovered it earlier, he would not risk returning to Lianyunfang City and would definitely wait for the opportunity.
There's a good chance that he'll come back here at this time.
"Now, I can only hope that Li Ji's memory contains what I want to see."
Fang Chen said this, and the ghost realm did not let him wait for long, and quickly extracted Li Ji's memory.
He also received these memories for the first time.
Then, his eyes widened.
This Li Ji was actually a spy planted by Xingyuehai in Lianyunfang City.
But he is just a spy of the lowest level, otherwise the blood-sucking magic he possesses would not be a bait used to fool people.
For Fang Chen, this fact did not surprise him much. It was not surprising that Li Ji practiced magic and had a connection with the devil. What shocked him was the other jade slip found on Li Ji at that time.
The Five Elements Transformation Technique.
This secret technique allows people who practice fire-attributed techniques to transform their own magic power into any attribute, thus avoiding the restraint of magic power attributes.
The soul of the other Fang Chen who took over Li Ji's body was originally housed in this jade slip.
Fang Chen originally thought that this was just a useless secret technique. After all, he and everyone in Yuehua Fairy City were practicing the Five Elements and had no use for it.
Now it seems that this secret technique definitely has other hidden secrets.
"After returning, I will give it to Daoxuan. Maybe he can figure out something."
In Li Ji's memory, there was no other information about the soul that took over his body.
Fang Chen could only hope that Li Daoxuan could discover some information through this secret technique.
Thinking of this, he rubbed his forehead again. This time when he returned to Lianyun Mountains and Lianyunfang City, he did gain a lot of information, but unfortunately the clue was interrupted again.
At the same time, the puzzles before him not only did not decrease, but became more.
But now, there is no time to deal with these things. We must hurry up and prepare for the alliance ceremony of the Monks' Alliance.
There is no doubt that the cultivators' alliance will change the situation under the rule of Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect. The Immortal Dynasty must gain enough benefits through Tianfeng Sect.
This is the first update today, there will be another one to come.
