Chapter 1109: Chapter 1106: Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror Chapter 1109: Chapter 1106: Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror “Elder Jieyin, what is the meaning of this?” The man in the green robe's expression changed as he suddenly turned around and exclaimed.

The other monks in the hall also showed a change in expression, as they got up and stood.

“Fellow Daoists, please do not misunderstand. Our Pavilion harbors no ill will towards you all. I ask everyone to wait here a little longer,” Jieyin Daoist said as he stood up and clasped his hands.

“If you have something to say, Elder Jieyin, please speak plainly. I, Bai Xi, have no interest in being confined by a prohibition,” said Bai Xi, his expression unchanged.

He was the leader of the Chamber of Commerce in West Niu Hezhou Continent and had never been treated this way before.

Red Moon Ancestor and the Golden Armor Youth also had similar expressions.

“Calm yourself, Daoist Bai Xi. The reason I have asked all of you to remain here is because we had no choice. To be honest, just last night, several Immortal Grade Spirit Fruits in the depths of our Pavilion's orchard were stolen, leading to a heavy loss. Even the Pavilion's treasure, the Ginseng Fruit, has had three stolen by the thief!” Jieyin Daoist said with a heavy sigh.

“Ginseng Fruits stolen? That's really happened!” Bai Xi's expression changed abruptly.

Everyone else was also greatly shocked.

The Ginseng Fruit's fame was known throughout the Three Realms, almost considered the first among Immortal Fruits. They only bore fruits every ten thousand years and now three had been taken!

Shen Luo's eyes also flashed with shock, but he quickly regained his composure.

No wonder Ming Yue had come to him this morning with that strange expression, covertly inquiring about his activities last night, all to find clues.

“Last night!” Shen Luo suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and glanced at Ao Hong next to him without a trace.

Ao Hong's purpose for coming to Wuzhuang View was for the Ginseng Fruit, and he had even asked to borrow the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Elemental Bead and the Slayer's Broken Sword last night. Could it be that he was the fruit thief?

However, Ao Hong's face also showed surprise, which didn't seem like a disguise.

Shen Luo secretly circulated his Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil but could not find any flaws; the expression on Ao Hong's face was completely genuine.

“Could it not have been his doing?” Shen Luo thought to himself.

His Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil had long since perfected, and his ability to observe minute details had reached a level unthinkable to ordinary people. Although he wouldn't claim certainty in other matters, when it came to reading people, no acting could deceive him.

“The Ginseng fruit tree was surrounded by our sect's prohibitions which would alert us at the slightest touch. Last night, upon detecting someone stealing, I immediately activated Wuzhuang View's Protector Formation. The thief is still within the View. We have kept you fellow Daoists here in order to identify the thief, and we ask for your understanding,” Jieyin Daoist continued.

Now understanding the situation, everyone looked around, their faces showing a hint of vigilance.

“Since there's a reason for this, we are not unreasonable people. There's no need for Elder Jieyin to secretly investigate. Use whatever methods you have directly, so we can swiftly identify the fruit thief and clear our suspicion,” Bai Xi said. He had clearly noticed the previous probing fluctuations.

The others also echoed him, nodding their agreement.

“I thank you all for your generosity,” Jieyin Daoist said joyfully as he stood up and bowed with clasped hands.

He then waved his hand towards the outside, and a portal opened on the blue prohibition at the great hall's entrance, allowing a procession of Wuzhuang View disciples to file in.

Shen Luo recognized Qingfeng and Ming Yue among them. The cultivation level of everyone else also reached the Great Mahayana Stage.

Qingfeng, Ming Yue, and the others stood at different corners of the great hall, and each took out an array of formation flags, formation discs, and other items, beginning to activate their magic.

Jieyin Daoist also took out a large flag with black and white colors, his ten fingers moved rapidly like the spinning of a car wheel, and soon a pillar of black and white light burst forth from the flag.

Qingfeng, Ming Yue, and the others' formation flags and discs also pulsed with light and connected to the black and white light pillar, forming a hemispherical light shield that enveloped everyone in the hall.

The light shield was half black and half white, resembling a Taiji Diagram.

Although the monks in the hall had agreed to let the Jieyin Daoist investigate freely, many showed a wary look at this scene.

“Everyone, please stay calm. This is the Taiji Life Transformation Array of Wuzhuang View, which is specifically proficient in investigation and holds no offensive power,” the Jieyin Daoist said.

Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved.

Seeing the crowd's reaction, the Jieyin Daoist activated the Taiji Life Transformation Array, and the white light curtain that once shrouded the entire hall slowly shrank, sweeping slowly over everyone within.

Monks swept by the white light curtain involuntarily felt as though their entire bodies had been inspected.

Although it was an uncomfortable feeling, the Ginseng Fruit had gone missing from Wuzhuang View, and they had to find the thief at any cost, so everyone tacitly allowed the Jieyin Daoist and his team to conduct their investigation.

Shen Luo was swiftly scanned by the Taiji Life Transformation Array as well, with innumerable probing waves sweeping through every inch of his body from all directions, and the Linlang Ring inside was also invaded by the probing vibrations.

Shen Luo felt no psychological pressure, calmly facing the Jieyin Daoist's investigation, his gaze glancing at Ao Hong out of the corner of his eye.

Ao Hong's expression was one of calm, allowing the white light curtain to pass over his body without showing any abnormality.

Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyes flickered briefly.

The Taiji Life Transformation Array soon had scanned all the cultivators in the hall without finding anything unusual.

The monks in the hall looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.

“It seems that the thief has hidden deeply, and even the Taiji Life Transformation Array can't detect them. Everyone, please wait a moment longer while I use this treasure for the investigation!” the Jieyin Daoist, with furrowed brows, then said.

Then, with a flip of his hand, a flash of golden light appeared in his palm, revealing a bronze-colored square box with a window-shaped switch on top, tightly closed on both left and right sides, each inscribed with the characters for “Heaven” and “Earth” respectively.

“What treasure is this?” Even from a distance, Shen Luo could sense the astonishing spiritual power contained within the square box, looking at it curiously.

The others in the hall also wore expressions of confusion, evidently unfamiliar with the treasure.

“This is the Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror!” Ao Hong's eyes widened slightly as he exclaimed.

“Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror? What treasure is that?” Shen Luo asked curiously.

The other people nearby, hearing Ao Hong's voice, also looked over.

“It's a supreme treasure in the hands of Senior Zhen Yuan, said to be connected to Heaven and Earth. As long as one has sufficient mana, it can reflect any place within the Three Realms,” Ao Hong regained his composure and slowly explained.

“There's such a treasure in the world!” Shen Luo exclaimed in surprise.

“Daoist friend Ao Hong, with your vast knowledge as the Dragon Prince of the Eastern Seas, is quite right. However, the real Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror is with the Pavilion Master, and this one is merely an imitation, unable to probe the Three Realms but can be used to investigate a specific individual,” the Jieyin Daoist also looked over at the sound and spoke with a slight smile.

“Even so, it is still quite remarkable. Daoist friend Jieyin, how do you plan to conduct the investigation? Will you use this treasure to reflect upon each of us one by one?” Ao Hong asked.

“Though it may offend everyone here, this is the only way. I ask fellow Daoists for your understanding,” the Jieyin Daoist gave a fist and palm salute as he looked around the circle and said.

The monks in the hall had already been checked once, and going through it again was no big deal, so none raised any objections.
