Sharing Tamed Beasts’ Talents for Eternal Life

Chapter 38

He Qingge frowned slightly when he heard that.

“There are so many things that he can’t explain clearly. One look and you can tell that he has ulterior motives. How can we give him a lighter punishment?”

“Why are you doubting me?” Zheng Xiaoling’s eyes turned cold.

He Qingge shook his head helplessly.

“You can’t just request to be shown the sect’s array records as you wish,” Zheng Xiaoling looked at Zhang Jiusui seriously.

The Hall of Punishment did have the authority to use the recording function of the sect’s protective array formation, but the authority was very limited and the matter had to be reported to the higher authorities.

Otherwise, any random person in the Hall of Punishment could use the sect’s recording function. Would that not be a mess?

Just think about it, if any random police officer could access your information, how terrifying would that be?

She then turned to He Qingge and said, “Once we activate the sect’s array records, it means that the matter has blown up. You have to think about the consequences.”

He Qingge revealed a bright smile. “Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. He said that he accidentally came to the entrance of the Spirit Beast Garden. Coincidentally, I have a photographic stone at the entrance of the Spirit Beast Garden that takes records every day.

“As everyone knows, the records in the photographic stone can’t be changed. I can show you the records from exactly one month before I left the sect for the mission.”

Zhang Jiusui’s eyelids twitched when he heard that, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

If his spirit pet was killed, it definitely meant that the surveillance had been discovered.

If the photographic stone was brought out now, the entire process of monitoring would have been captured.

However, there was no record of how his spirit beast was killed.

Everyone knew that the records in the photographic stone could not be changed, but they could be deleted.

He had been tricked, and his heart broke out in a cold sweat. How could a kid who grew up in the sect be so scheming?

“Forget it, I won’t continue with the complaint. I don’t trust you.” Zhang Jiusui immediately admitted defeat.

“There must be something wrong with you!” He Qingge mocked.

“My spirit pet is already dead. What other problems can there be?” Zhang Jiusui was stubborn.

He Qingge sneered. “You said it yourself. The spirit pet that accompanied you for 60 to 70 years is now dead. Yet you don’t intend to continue investigating. It can be seen that you really are cold-blooded!

“Even if you don’t trust me, don’t tell me you don’t trust the members of the Hall of Punishment either?” He Qingge asked. “Is there a problem with my photographic stone? Even if there is, they’ll definitely be able to tell!

“Why do you look so guilty? Did you do something bad?”

Zheng Xiaoling stared sharply at Zhang Jiusui.

Zhang Jiusui could only brace himself and say, “It’s better to mobilize the sect’s array records than use a photographic stone.”

He Qingge sneered. “Are you saying that the people of the Hall of Punishment don’t have the ability to distinguish?”

“I didn’t say that,” Zhang Jiusui said fiercely. “I just don’t trust you.”

“What’s going on?” Zheng Xiaoling interrupted their conversation. “Take out your photographic stone and we’ll judge for ourselves.”

He Qingge smiled and took out the photographic stone he had prepared from his storage bag.

It had clearly recorded the situation outside the Spirit Beast Garden for the month before He Qingge left.

Zhang Jiusui’s face was dripping with sweat as the video played.

He did not wander into the Spirit Beast Garden by accident. He would bring his bird there every day. Sometimes, he would be lazy and not go, so he would just let his bird go.

It clearly recorded the images of Zhang Jiusui and the Tissot bird.

On the contrary, He Qingge had never appeared. During that time, he happened to be in seclusion every day.

For the sake of being able to survive, he would try his best to cultivate every day.

He Qingge said, “It looks like he didn’t come to the Spirit Beast Garden by accident, and he didn’t leave the Tissot bird at the entrance of the Spirit Beast Garden by accident either!”

Zheng Xiaoling’s face was as cold as ice. Previously, she had only thought that it was an unintentional matter and had given a lighter punishment.

She did not expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly. She had even been deceived.

She looked at Zhang Jiusui with a sharp gaze. “Looks like I misjudged you. You did this knowingly. Moreover, you were spying on the Spirit Beast Garden.

“What did you want to achieve by monitoring the Spirit Beast Garden of the Tian Xuan Sect?”

He Qingge interjected, “Are you a spy from another sect?”

Zhang Jiusui’s body immediately trembled. “Don’t spout nonsense. Don’t slander me. I’m a disciple of the Zhang family. How could I be a spy from another sect?”

“Looks like there might be something wrong with the Zhang family’s disciples!” He Qingge smiled.

Zheng Xiaoling said coldly, “Suppress him and pry open his mouth. If necessary, use the Soul Search Technique.”

Zhang Jiusui’s whole body panicked. He knelt on the ground and shouted, telling the truth.

“No, no, I’m definitely not a spy. I just wanted to monitor He Qingge.”

If he was treated as a spy of another sect and they used the Soul Search Technique, he might not be able to walk out of the Hall of Punishment alive in the future.

The use of the Soul Search Technique would cause great damage to his soul. He was already very old. If his soul was damaged again, his body functions would immediately decline, and his lifespan would be greatly reduced.

“Why were you spying on him?” Zheng Xiaoling suddenly understood the problem.

“I don’t know either. It was Zhang Lingmu who asked me to monitor He Qingge’s every move,” Zhang Jiusui answered honestly.

“Bring Zhang Lingmu here,” Zheng Xiaoling instructed.

Soon, Zhang Lingmu was also brought to the Hall of Punishment. He was much calmer than Zhang Jiusui.

He did not feel worried or afraid at all even though his plan had been exposed.

“He said that you gave him the order to spy on He Qingge.” Zheng Xiaoling felt disgusted.

“I was just passing on Young Master Zhang’s words,” Zhang Lingmu was calm.

He already knew that He Qingge had come back alive, and he felt that it was unbelievable.

Zhang Jianchi had spent so much effort, but he still could not deal with He Qingge.

He did not dare to act rashly. Perhaps He Qingge had hidden secrets.

He wanted to wait for his young master to return, but after such a long time, Zhang Jianchi still had not returned. He had not sent any news back either.

He suddenly had a bad feeling. Young Master might have met his demise.

That was why Zhang Jiusui was pushed out. He wanted the villain to complain first and take down He Qingge.

Who knew that He Qingge would have prepared this beforehand and had the photographic stone?

Zheng Xiaoling was not the person he had contacted earlier.

His plan was instantly thrown into chaos.

“Bring him over as well. Is there anything else you haven’t told me? Tell me everything so we don’t have to make another trip.” Zheng Xiaoling was running out of patience.

This incident had suddenly changed from a possible spy planted by another sect to a clown-like plot. The culprit had even complained first. It really made her feel disgusted.

“Young Master left the sect to look for Foundation Establishment items and hasn’t returned yet,” Zhang Lingmu said.

Zheng Xiaoling was a little angry after hearing this. She turned to look at Zhang Jiusui.

“You’ve been monitoring the sect’s official business for a long time, and you even indulged your spirit pet at will in an attempt to deceive the Hall of Punishment. You’ve seriously violated the sect’s rules. You’re really bold.

“Confine all his belongings and escort him to the Demon Suppression Cave where he’ll be guarded for 300 years.”

She then turned to look at Zhang Lingmu. “Threatening or coercing others to spy on fellow sect disciples and spying on the sect’s official locations is a violation of the sect’s rules. Head to the Demon Suppression Cave with him first. We’ll discuss the details when your young master returns.”

He Qingge’s lips curled into a smile. It was settled.

Zhang Jiusui looked quite old. It was impossible for him to come out of the Demon Suppression Cave alive.

Without breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was impossible for his lifespan to break through to 300 years old. Moreover, he looked to be in his 70s and 80s now. He was not far from death.
