Chapter 269 The Untamed 21
It was almost midnight, and Jiang Xinxin took Wei Ying and Lan Zhan to the Chang's mansion to investigate. However, even when the Yin and Yang energy were gathering, there was indeed not a trace of resentment or Yin energy left in the Chang family. Lan Zhan guessed that the consciousness and souls of those Chang family members who died suddenly must have been taken away by someone using Yin Iron.
The three were just about to exchange a few more words when they heard some noise coming from the Chang family's direction in the distance. They quickly hid their bodies and began to observe secretly.
The person who came was Xue Yang, and the people chasing him were Xiao Xingchen, a disciple of Baoshan Sanren, and Taoist Song Zichen from Baixue Temple.
The three of them confronted each other on the roof. Jiang Xinxin, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan also deduced from their fragmentary words that the tragedy of the entire Chang family was caused by Xue Yang. Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen targeted Xue Yang after he escaped from Liyang City and hurt innocent people. They did not expect that Xue Yang himself let the cat out of the bag when he was being chased in a hurry, and Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen took advantage of the situation and chased him even more closely.
Jiang Xinxin exchanged glances with Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, and the three of them rose up together in tacit understanding, flew onto the roof, and cut off Xue Yang's escape route.
Without waiting for Xue Yang to struggle too much, Jiang Xinxin trapped Xue Yang into a cocoon. Only then did everyone feel at ease to talk. Jiang Xinxin took the initiative to reveal her identity: "I am Jiang Cheng and Jiang Wanyin from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. These two are my disciples from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, Wei Ying and Wei Wuxian, and Lan Zhan and Lan Wangji from the Gusu Lan Clan."
Xiao Xingchen smiled and replied, "My name is Xiao Xingchen, I am a casual cultivator, and this Taoist priest is Taoist priest Song Zichen, a senior disciple of Baixue Temple."
Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen were older than Jiang Xinxin and the other two, but they had just reached the age of twenty, and it was their first time to go out hunting at night, so Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen praised Jiang Xinxin's cultivation, and they spoke the truth without any lies.
However, Jiang Xinxin was anxious to interrogate Xue Yang about the location of the Yin Iron, so she did not plan to continue the small talk, and immediately talked about what happened here: "The three of us entered Liyang City early this morning. Ah Xian heard people discussing the extermination of the Liyang Chang family in the restaurant, so the three of us wanted to investigate. After entering, we found that no one in the Chang family was alive, but there was no resentment or Yin energy here, and no spiritual consciousness or souls were left. We were just wondering when we heard the two of you chasing Xue Yang, so we hid our bodies."
Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen looked at each other, and Xiao Xingchen spoke up, "Zichen and I have been hunting together for more than two months. Three days ago, we happened to see Xue Yang using some evil means to harm innocent people, so we chased him. I didn't expect that he would harm the entire Chang family."
At this moment, not only was Xue Yang tied up like a silkworm cocoon, he was also hung on the beam of the main hall of the Chang family by the angry Wei Ying. He looked smart and cute, and even a bloodstain on his face did not damage his appearance. However, the rebellious expression on his face really made people feel unfavorable.
Wei Ying took a deep breath after hearing this: "My goodness, the Chang family is bullying in Liyang. I can't say that Xue Yang has done nothing wrong except for the Chang family, but the others are really innocent. This doesn't make sense at all!"
Xue Yang originally wanted to say that these children from aristocratic families were hypocritical, but after hearing what Wei Ying said, he laughed.
"You are right. The Chang family has been doing evil in Liyang for many years and no one cares. When I was a child, I was coaxed by the Chang family to deliver a letter to Chang Cian. I didn't expect that after the letter was delivered to Chang Cian, not only did I not get the promised reward, but I was also beaten by Chang Cian. My missing little finger was crushed alive by Chang Cian's carriage!"
Afraid that Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen would not believe Xue Yang's words, Lan Zhan also spoke up to prove it: "It is indeed as Xue Yang said, there are few good people in the Chang family. Although the people of Liyang are worried about the extermination of the Chang family, they do think that the Chang family deserves their punishment."
Xue Yang laughed so hard that tears came out when he heard this.
"I thought you guys from noble families were all hypocritical, but I didn't expect to meet such interesting people like you three today!"
Song Zichen, who had been silent all this time, turned to Jiang Xinxin and the other two and said, "Xue Yang may have had a legitimate reason to kill the entire Chang family, but the others were indeed innocent, so I must punish Xue Yang."
Jiang Xinxin had no intention of stopping Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen from punishing Xue Yang, so she let them do what they wanted. However, Wei Ying seemed to have remembered something, and pulled Jiang Xinxin over and whispered, "This Xue Yang's last name is also Xue. The two Taoists said earlier that they saw Xue Yang using some evil magic on mortals. Could he be the descendant of Xue Chonghai and have obtained the Yin Iron?"
Wei Ying wanted to take this opportunity to interrogate Xue Yang, but he secretly searched Xue Yang's body and found no trace of Yin Iron, so he simply asked: "The two Taoist priests said that you used evil magic on ordinary people. What did you use?"
Xue Yang didn't want to hide it at all, and said with a smile: "I thought you were different from other children of noble families, but now it seems that I misjudged you. You spared my life for my baby!"
Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen knew Wei Ying was looking for something when they saw him searching Xue Yang's body. Xue Yang's words made them suspicious of Wei Ying. Seeing this, Jiang Xinxin did not hide it and said directly, "Masters, I suspect Xue Yang used Yin Iron to absorb the consciousness, souls, and resentment of the Chang family members. Otherwise, based on his brutal killing of the Chang family members, there would be no resentment here."
The two words "Yintie" immediately made Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen change their expressions.
Although Xiao Xingchen is a casual cultivator, his master is Baoshan Sanren, who is of the same generation as Lan Yi. Naturally, he has heard a lot about the Yin Iron.
Song Zichen was born in Baixue Temple. Although it was a not very famous Taoist temple, it had a complete heritage and he had naturally heard of the power of Yin Tie.
There was no progress at all after that. No matter how they pressed the issue, Xue Yang just said that he had hidden the Yin Iron in a very safe place, and no one else could find it except him.
Xue Yang was stubborn, but it was hard for these high-ranking people, as none of them could torture them to extract a confession.
Finally, Jiang Xinxin came forward and said to Xue Yang: "In theory, we can kill you directly because you used the Yin Iron to harm mortals, but your crime should be known to everyone, so we originally planned to ask Taoist Song Zichen to take you back to Baixue Temple for punishment."
"Don't think you can stay alive for a few more days if you don't tell me where the Yin Iron is. In fact, I have two ways to find the Yin Iron. The first is to search your soul directly, and the second is to unseal the Yin Iron fragment in my hand and directly sense the piece you hid."
"Which one do you want to choose?"
