57: Tai Xuan Sect conducts on-site investigation

"Hehehe! That's hard to say. Disciples come and go, so there's no way to track them all."

Elder Wu said, "It is said that a member of the Jiang Family is cultivating in your Xuan Yang Tower and happened to go out on the day of the incident. On that same day, our Elder was heading toward your Xuan Yang Tower with several Disciples, one of whom was from the Wang Family."

"As everyone knows, there has been a long-standing grudge between their two families. Therefore, we suspect this matter is related to that Jiang Family Disciple in your Xuan Yang Tower. Could Vice Tower Master Jin have him come here to confront us?"

Golden Sun Son suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! Are you saying a Tai Xuan Sect Elder took your Wang Family Disciple to kill a Disciple of my Xuan Yang Tower, but instead of succeeding, he lost his own life, and now you've come here to trouble my Xuan Yang Tower Disciple?"

"Not at all! We simply want him to come out so we can ask a few questions. If it has nothing to do with him, we naturally won't make things difficult for him."

"Fine. Call Jiang Ye over."

Before long, Jiang Ye arrived at the drawing room.

"Vice Tower Master!"

"Mhm. These gentlemen are Elders from the Tai Xuan Sect. They want to ask you about the recent killing of a Tai Xuan Sect Elder. Tell them whatever you know!"

Jiang Ye said, "I don't know anything. I've been cultivating the entire time."

Elder Wu said, "Did you go out that day and encounter our Tai Xuan Sect Elder? It is said that during the Lower Profound Domain Tournament, there was some friction between you."

"You're saying I killed him, right? Just say it directly. Don't waste time beating around the bush; I still need to hurry back to my cultivation."

"How bold! A mere Disciple dares to speak to the Grand Elder of our Tai Xuan Sect like that!" a Tai Xuan Sect Elder shouted.

Jiang Ye said disdainfully, "Hmph! This is Xuan Yang Tower. You are the ones being insolent!"

"You..."

Du Hong spoke up to protect him, saying, "He's right. This is my Xuan Yang Tower, and it's not the Tai Xuan Sect's place to come here shouting and screaming!"

Elder Wu suppressed his anger and said, "What exactly happened that day? An Elder of our Tai Xuan Sect in the Profound Dharma Realm died, and Wang Mang, the head of the Wang Family, was also killed. Aside from you, who has a grudge with the Jiang Family, who else would have killed them?"

Jiang Ye smiled. "Hehe! If I said I was the one who took them out, would you believe me?"

"Kid! You'd better confess honestly, or even your Jiang Family will suffer."

"Then go ahead and try! Do you think my Jiang Family has no allies? If you move against the Jiang Family, do you think the Lin Family and Bai Family will just sit idly by? Fine! Since you're certain this mess is related to my Jiang Family, nothing we say matters anyway.

I'll tell you honestly now: both your Tai Xuan Sect Elder and the Wang Family head were hacked to death by me. If you have the guts, come at me!"

Elder Wu's fury surged. "You... do you know the consequences of those words?"

"I do! Don't you just want to force someone from the Jiang Family to admit it? I've admitted it now; I killed them. Are you satisfied?"

Golden Sun Son said, "Let's leave it at that. Why get angry with a youth? Since he doesn't know anything, go investigate elsewhere! Jiang Ye, you go back to your cultivation."

"Yes!" Immediately, Jiang Ye left the drawing room and returned to Cultivate under the xuan yang stele.

The Tai Xuan Sect people originally wanted to use Jiang Ye to point the finger at the Jiang Family, but they didn't expect him to pull such a stunt. It completely derailed their plan, and in the end, they could only leave Xuan Yang Tower in frustration.

Inside the drawing room,

Only Golden Sun Son and Du Hong remained. Golden Sun Son suddenly said, "I have a gut feeling that Jiang Ye's words just now weren't fake."

"How could that be! That dead Elder was at the second stage of the Profound Dharma Realm. If he were just entering the Profound Dharma Realm, I might dare to entertain the thought."
