Chapter 367: Cause and Effect

Cui Yan keenly noticed Yun Miao’s lapse. His brow creased slightly as he stepped forward, the black law-ordaining chains at his side clinking, faintly aiming at Su Ming.

“This treasure is strange, it gathers spirits and nourishes souls, unheard of. Besides, the murderous aura is so heavy, clearly something that has drunk countless people's blood. Su Ming is only a Qi Refining disciple; holding such a vicious object, no matter his intentions, will sooner or later be counterattacked by the murderous aura and become a puppet.”

Cui Yan’s voice grew colder and colder, murderous intent laid bare. “For the sect’s sake, this thing must be thoroughly investigated. If it cannot be purified, it should be sealed, or… destroyed.”

When she spoke the word “destroy,” she raised her hand and a black light condensed in her palm. A destructive energy instantly locked onto Su Ming’s left hand.

“Slow!”

One word.

Not loud, not piercing, yet it carried an unprecedented decisiveness and weight, like a great bell striking, detonating in everyone’s heart.

Yun Miao Zhenren moved.

He did not attack, merely lifted his sleeve and waved it downward.

Hum—A soft, pale-green light curtain descended from above like a huge glazed bowl, completely covering Su Ming and the three-zhang-wide Heart-Questioning Platform.

The light curtain seemed as thin as a cicada’s wing, yet it was unbelievably tough. Cui Yan’s enraged black palm wind slammed into the curtain and vanished as if a mud ox plunged into the sea, disappearing without even a ripple.

Not only that, the curtain completely isolated inside from outside.

Outside divine senses, sight, and sound were all blocked.

On the Heart-Questioning Platform, only Yun Miao Zhenren, Cui Yan, and Su Ming lying prone on the ground remained.

Cui Yan’s pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

As the law-enforcing elder, her reflexes were lightning-fast. She violently retreated three zhang, her aura suddenly turning dangerous, her black hair moving though there was no wind.

“Yun Miao!”
