Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 43 Why did I become his stepping stone?! (Please read on!)

Perhaps it was because Li Ye was quite cooperative and his expression was calm.

Or perhaps these three law enforcement disciples had already received instructions before coming.

The three men just remained on guard and surrounded Li Ye and took him to the Law Enforcement Hall, instead of putting shackles or other torture instruments on him and escorting him there.

Along the way, many law enforcement disciples could be seen patrolling around, or escorting some figures that Li Ye was familiar or unfamiliar with to the law enforcement hall.

Even in the hands of the guards, there was a faint figure of the foundation-building elder!

Apart from this, no other disciples appeared in the outside world.

With the sect's formation fully activated, the entire Zixuan Sect's mountain gate was almost completely closed, and martial law was imposed inside, with an extremely solemn atmosphere!
Seeing this scene, Li Ye sighed in his heart.

If the ancestor had not suffered any injuries, why would such a big fuss be needed?

This means they are almost ready to deal with powerful enemies attacking the mountain at any time!

This couldn't have come at a worse time.

His few acres of blood-soaked rice are in perfect condition, and the experience feedback is almost at hand!
However, the current trouble is not a big problem, and the experience feedback should be successfully obtained this time.

But it’s hard to say after that…

Li Ye only hoped that the situation could at least stabilize until those acres of blood-ripened rice could mature and yield a good harvest.

He was also counting on the huge amount of blood and spiritual energy that would be fed back to him at that time to help him achieve the second level of Elephant Armor Power!

Once you have further improved your body and become more powerful in combat, you will be more confident in dealing with chaotic situations!
While his thoughts were drifting, they soon arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.

The palace here is solemn and exudes a murderous aura. The disciples coming and going are in a hurry with cold expressions. As soon as you approach this place, you can feel a sense of majesty and chill.

Li Ye felt a slight tingling sensation on his skin and a sense of mental oppression.

But he was only a little pale, and his expression remained calm.

Even the three law enforcement disciples who escorted him here were a little surprised when they saw him, thinking that this man was either very capable and secretive, or he really had a clear conscience.

Otherwise, there would be no such performance!
Entering the hall, the cold and solemn atmosphere became increasingly strong, and Li Ye was escorted all the way to a large hall.

Then he saw a white-faced, beardless elder in a black robe sitting high up in the hall. He had a cold aura and a gaze as sharp as a knife.

The law enforcement disciples on both sides stood solemnly, echoing the cold environment in the hall and adding a bit of majesty.

In the middle of the hall, several disciples were kneeling on the ground wearing torture instruments.

Among them was Li Zongyin!
At this time, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn, his face was dull and numb, and he seemed to have been seriously injured. He looked like a serious criminal.

As someone who had a close relationship with Cai Shiwei, he was almost the first one to be arrested!
"Reporting to the elder, Li Ye is here!"

The three law enforcement disciples reported loudly and brought Li Ye into the hall.

At this moment, Li Zongyin, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head, his face twisted with excitement, and shouted loudly,
"It's him! It was Li Ye who introduced me to that villain Cai Shiwei!"

"Since joining the sect, this man has joined that thief's gang and has a deep connection with them... He is the thief's accomplice. I am wrongly accused, Elder!"

Li Zongyin was desperate and crazy at this time.

The look he gave Li Ye was as if he had seen his only life-saving straw, and he struggled to pounce on him.

Li Ye watched calmly, but sneered in his heart.

What on earth gave this person the illusion that a person he pushed out to prevent disaster could actually drag him down with him?
"quiet!"

The white-faced elder snorted coldly, and immediately a magical power descended, sealing Li Zongyin's mouth and pinning him firmly in place, unable to move.

After the interrogation and confirmation using various harsh methods, he could see that these disciples who followed Cai Shiwei knew nothing at all and were just tools used by him.

But the ancestor was furious and decided that all those who had close contact with Cai Shiwei would be implicated. However, compared to the group below, Li Ye was a little different.

The white-faced elder still had a cold expression on his face. He looked at Li Ye, who looked calm, and asked calmly,

"Li Ye, this man is from the same clan as you. He said you introduced him to Cai Shiwei. Is that true?"

His tone was calm, but his voice was like a steel needle that pierced Li Ye's heart, making him instinctively dare not hide a single word in the pain.

Li Ye's face suddenly showed pain, but he did not dare to delay and bowed.
"Disciple Li Ye, I pay my respects to the Law Enforcement Elder!"

Seeing this person's attitude, he had some vague guesses in his mind.

Then he spoke calmly, enduring the pain of the other party's secret pressure.
"What this person said is true, but everything is just a deal!"

He went straight to the point of recounting the details of how he had been seriously injured and severed ties with Cai Shiwei's gang, how this person had suddenly risen to prominence and tried to win over others, and how he had even been short of money and had made a deal with the third branch of the Li family who had come to him to seek inheritance.

"...After that, I had no contact with Cai Shiwei. Even this fellow from the same clan only met me once by chance at the Treasure Pavilion in the market town. During that time, he wanted me to follow Cai Shiwei, but I flatly refused."

"I am usually obsessed with farming and have few friends. I only have a few like-minded friends who are good at spiritual cultivation. I have no way of knowing what the evil Cai Shiwei is planning..."

"I have said absolutely nothing in the above, and I can swear a vow to the inner demon. Many of the Lingnong disciples and the owner of Baibaoju can serve as witnesses. I hope the elders will understand!"

This explanation almost clearly stated the whole cause and effect, as well as his relationship with Cai Shiwei, and even presented many witnesses.

The realistic and straightforward content not only demonstrated his innocence, but also once again emphasized that Li Zongyin had been serving Cai Shiwei very much and that the two had a close relationship.

Li Zongyin listened to every word. Although he could not move, his eyes were always fixed on Li Ye.

Especially when Li Ye mentioned that he tried to recruit him for Cai Shiwei but was decisively rejected by him, the murderous intent and madness in his eyes danced, and he looked like he wanted to devour someone!
But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the suppression, and the madness on his face gradually turned into despair...

Too much!
In order to please that person, he did so many things, gained too many benefits, and offended countless people!
His relationship with Cai Shiwei cannot be erased, and there will be no shortage of people who will take advantage of his misfortune.

Li Ye is just one of them.

But now it is enough to step on him and keep myself safe!
He, Li Ye, was just a lowly peasant who could only work in the fields...

But he is the foundation-building seed of the Li family, the new foundation-building ancestor of the Li family in the future, and the hope for the Li family to reach new heights!

Why did he become Li Ye's stepping stone now? !

Li Ye...

I hate!

Letting Li Zongyin go crazy, the white-faced elder just said calmly after listening to what Li Ye said.

"There's no need to look for witnesses. Everything you said is completely consistent with the evidence I have, and even the more detailed parts are not lies..."

"Since Ji Qing has provided evidence to vouch for you, you can withdraw now!"

"Thank you, elder!"

Li Ye bowed deeply, glanced at Li Zongyin lying on the ground, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Ji Qing will vouch for you...

Could it be that the elders personally stepped in to guarantee it?!

When did Li Ye end up in such a situation?

Li Zongyin's heart was filled with hatred mixed with a bit of confusion.

It wasn't until today that he realized that his cousin, whom he thought was just a peasant, had achieved more than he had imagined while he was immersed in the benefits he had gained by clinging to Cai Shiwei...
