Chapter 499 Third Senior Sister, Did You See That?
Making a decision about helicopters is one thing, but actually doing it is another.
The top three floors were enchanted by a series of restrictions every few steps, but luckily she and her third senior sister had some experience in breaking the restrictions, so they managed to avoid being discovered.
They had circled the top three floors three or four times, but hadn't found anything unusual.
Third Senior Sister advised that they should continue searching down one floor, as the location of the Golden Scale Key in the Forbidden Tower is random, and it might not have been on the top three floors when it was stolen.
Unable to find any clues, Jiang Liqian could only follow her third senior sister's instructions and go down to the next level. As her dress brushed past a golden tray in the corner, the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl hanging at her waist suddenly flashed, and she paused in her steps.
"Third Senior Sister, did you see that?"
The light inside the Forbidden Tower was dim, so Luo Qing'an naturally saw the flash. Curious, she approached and touched the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl.
Although she gave this to her junior sister, she knew absolutely nothing about it.
Why does it flash?
Jiang Li's eyes darkened slightly: "It should be demonic energy, or... demonic energy."
Luo Qing'an was startled and quickly told her to try the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl again.
The Spirit-Suppressing Pearl floated in Jiang Liqian's hand and slowly approached the golden tray.
To their disappointment, the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl never flashed again.
"What happened?" Luo Qing'an asked, puzzled. "Could there be some reason why it dissipated so quickly?"
Dissipated quickly?
Jiang Liqian was taken aback. Suddenly, she remembered the strange things she had noticed several times before, but each time she tried to confirm them, the strange feeling would disappear.
too weird.
At the very least, the opponent's strength must be above hers to be able to escape her control every time.
"Could it be... that this is the same person who stole the Golden Scale Key?"
With the peak masters and sect leaders of various factions in charge, the Tianqian Sect is now facing a direct confrontation with the Demon Clan, even though they have made some moves. She absolutely does not believe that a Demon Clan member has infiltrated the Tianqian Sect and stolen the Golden Scale Key.
That means there is a traitor.
The first person Jiang Liqian thought of was Cao Xian, who had been associated with the magic stone and had even attacked her, but she immediately rejected the idea.
First, even if Cao Xian really intended to betray the sect, he was still a cultivator, and she could still distinguish spiritual energy from other auras.
Secondly, he doesn't have that ability.
There's another person—Shen Qingqing!
In her previous life, she found Shen Qingqing very strange. She said that she was just a female protagonist of the Heavenly Dao, and her luck was too strong. Whatever elixirs, magic weapons, treasures, resources and secret realms, as long as she wanted them, they would become hers, as if the entire Heavenly Dao was tilted towards her.
That's bad enough, but she actually managed to make the impossible possible!
This inevitably reminded Jiang Liqian of the mysterious destruction of the seal imprisoning Chi in the Sword Peak Forbidden Ground. Logically speaking, the seals of the Sword Peak Forbidden Ground were all set up by the Elders' Pavilion. In the entire Sword Peak, apart from the Sect Leader, no one else could possibly have the ability to destroy them, let alone Chi.
Only Shen Qingqing was there, and in what was extremely dangerous situation, she was completely unharmed. At that moment, she began to suspect her.
Now the suspicion is even stronger, but everything still depends on evidence. Without evidence, she is just slandering her fellow disciples and will definitely be bitten back by Shen Qingqing.
Jiang Liqian approached the golden tray, picked it up and looked at it, then used the detection array to sense it.
"It has the scent of a key; the Golden Scale Key must have been placed on this."
"So, someone else really stole the key? Was it a demon or a monster?" Although she had long suspected that the Golden Scale Key had been stolen by an unusual person, she really couldn't believe that a demon or monster had infiltrated their Tianqian Sect.
Does this mean that the Tianqian Sect is no longer safe?
How can this be? !
Jiang Liqian shook her head: "I'm not sure either, and it may not be the demon race or the monster race. It could very well be one of our own people."
Luo Qing'an glanced at her in surprise, then immediately understood what she meant.
“If we can accurately capture this trace of aura, we should be able to bring Second Senior Brother back from the Discipline Hall, and the Discipline Hall can also use this aura to track down the thief,” she said.
Jiang Li nodded slightly.
Without delay, the two of them immediately went downstairs and used the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl to explore each floor, while also sending a message to their senior brother at the bottom of the tower.
The aura disappeared very quickly, as if the remaining trace of aura would vanish without a trace if the surrounding air moved even slightly faster. Several times, the Spirit Suppressing Pearl flashed, but Luo Qing'an and Jiang Liqian were unable to preserve that wisp of aura.
Just then, the eldest brother came running up, panting. Seeing their predicament, he proudly produced an "invention".
"What is this?" Jiang Liqian stared in surprise at the bee-like thing in his hand, except that the "bee" was crystal clear and had a small slot at its tail.
"This is my masterpiece, just watch." Si Chuan took out a mid-grade spirit stone, and with a forceful movement, split it into ten small pieces. He inserted one of the small pieces into the slot of the "little bee," and soon the "little bee" took flight on its own.
"Junior Sister, can you control the spirit pearl in your hand with your divine sense and spiritual power?"
Jiang Liqian understood his meaning: "Senior brother wants us to stay on this level and only let you and the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl go down?"
Si Chuan nodded.
“Okay.” Jiang Liqian immediately mobilized her spiritual power, and her divine sense quickly descended, spreading to the pavilion below.
Si Chuan didn't waste any time and released the "little bee" down.
Seeing how well they worked together, Luo Qing'an emphasized the role of guards to prevent potential dangers from harming them.
Jiang Liqian controlled the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl to scan every corner of the floor, leaving no stone unturned. Suddenly, a dark blue light flashed, and she immediately alerted her senior brother.
Si Chuan immediately sent "Little Bee" over. "Little Bee" was incredibly fast. Jiang Liqian didn't even blink before she saw "Little Bee" stop somewhere, then open its mouth and swallow something. After calming down, its whole body trembled violently, as if something was trying to break free from it, causing "Little Bee" to lose its balance and fall down with a thud.
This fall, however, triggered the three layers of restrictions below, and immediately the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps could be heard from outside.
At this moment, Jiang Liqian and the other two didn't care whether they would be discovered. They hurriedly ran downstairs and simultaneously used an array to control the "little bee," completely sealing it within the array.
Ignoring the danger of the restrictions, Si Chuan ran over and picked up the "little bee".
At this moment, the disciples guarding the forbidden tower arrived at this floor and pushed open the door.
"Don't move! Surrender!"
