Lingjian Peak

When Zi Lingyan and Mu Wange appeared in front of the elders again, Gu Linger had disappeared.

Missing with her were two elders from the Law Enforcement Hall.

At some point, Mu Wange's eyes were covered with a piece of white cloth.

Everyone was a little surprised that Mu Wange followed Zi Lingyan without saying a word.

He didn't say anything, nor did he make any other unnecessary movements. He just followed quietly.

"Hey, where's Gu Linger?" Zi Lingyan stopped.

The faces of several elders froze. Although Zi Lingyan usually didn't have a good face towards them, she seemed particularly rude today.

"Gu Linger has been escorted to the forbidden area just now." An elder said in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

A cold gaze swept across everyone present, and all the elders changed color at the news.

Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and their bodies couldn't stop shaking.

"It was Miss Ling'er who wanted to go. There was nothing we could do."

"Yes, I can testify that we can't stop her."

The elders spoke timidly, their tone very humble, not daring to speak loudly at all.

Zi Lingyan looked at the expressions of the elders and snorted coldly.

She understood that Gu Linger was going to the forbidden area on purpose.

She is a broken spirit, and going to the forbidden area can not only help her practice, but also allow her to control her physique.

But can Gu Linger survive in the forbidden area now?

Zi Lingyan cursed, "Idiot."

There was nothing she could do, or rather, she shouldn't do anything more.

Since it was Gu Linger's own choice, as her senior sister, she should not interfere.

"Gu Linger, if you are eaten by a monster, I will tear you into pieces."

Zi Lingyan spat on the ground and was about to leave.

At this moment, a disciple suddenly rushed in from outside the pavilion.

He ran to the elders and shouted as he ran: "It's bad, elders, it's bad!"

Several elders asked, "Why all the fuss?"

"No, that's not it. Senior Sister Gu, there is another hidden story behind this!" the disciple responded quickly.

When Zi Lingyan heard this, she stopped immediately and turned to look at the disciple.

She was not familiar with this disciple, but looking at his attire, Zi Lingyan knew that he was the disciple in the inner sect who was in charge of criminal cases.

They have a general name, called the Procuratorate, which is responsible for all matters big and small within the sect.

"Tell me, what happened?" Zi Lingyan shouted.

The disciple did not dare to delay and quickly asked, "Do you remember that on the day of the disciple-taking ceremony, a man died in the maple forest?"

"There were many witnesses, but when we got there, there was nothing in the maple forest."

"However, just this morning, a disciple reported this matter to us."

After saying this, the disciple took out a photo stone.

When everyone stepped forward and took a closer look, they discovered that there was a man lying in a pool of blood on the photo stone.

The man died in a maple forest, which is consistent with the location of the incident.

The most important thing is that the man’s face is exactly the same as that of the victim Lin Feng in this incident!

"That disciple said that he passed it to us on behalf of someone else. We don't know who left the photo stone."

After hearing this, one of the elders became even more angry and said, "What's the point of you saying this? At this point, what does this prove?"

"Doesn't this further prove that someone is harming Lin Feng?"

"Idiot! Can't you think of the connection?" Zi Lingyan pointed at the elder's nose and cursed.

"If the image stone is real, then only two hours passed between the time everyone witnessed Lin Feng's death in the maple forest and the end of the disciple-taking ceremony."

"If I remember correctly, Lin Feng was participating in the Foundation Establishment Realm competition at the competition arena."

"Have you ever seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator who can bring himself back to life from the dead within two hours?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders present suddenly understood.

They also thought of what Zi Lingyan said at the auction that day that she was hunting down evil cultivators.

If it is an evil cultivator, it is not impossible to come back to life from the dead.

Could it be that this Lin Feng has some relationship with the evil cultivator?

"What should we do? If there is really something wrong with Lin Feng, then haven't we misunderstood Gu Linger?"

An elder said, and everyone looked puzzled.

"An idiot is an idiot." Zi Lingyan turned and left.

Mu Wange followed behind him, his empty eyes gradually brightened, and his body revived.

She took off the white cloth in front of her and looked at Zi Lingyan's back. She did not struggle, nor did she think of escaping.

She took a deep breath and followed Zi Lingyan closely.

Yulu Peak in the evening

"Brother Ji, have you heard? We have a new disciple at Yulu Peak."

Ji Wudao was surrounded by the crowd, with a disciple standing close beside him.

"Disciple? What does it have to do with me?"

Ji Wudao said casually, he was feeling annoyed right now.

I went to the Tiandi Auction House yesterday and wanted to buy some nice gifts for Mulan, but Zi Lingyan interrupted my plan.

Before, when I approached Mulan, at least she would come forward and refuse me.

Now, I have offended her at the disciple-taking ceremony, and I can’t even meet her if I want to.

This was hard for Ji Wudao, who was used to being a bootlicker, to accept.

I think about it day and night and can't sleep or eat.

"Brother Ji, this time it's different, it's a weirdo!"

"Weirdo? How weird can it be?"

Ji Wudao became interested. A weirdo who was his direct disciple? This was an interesting topic.

"Brother Ji, you don't know, that person wears a black robe and a mask all day long."

"He was completely covered up, revealing nothing."

The more the disciple described it, the more familiar Ji Wudao felt it looked.

Wearing a black robe and a mask, he seemed to have a deep impression of this person.

"And the guy had a smiling face on his mask, which was creepy."

Smiley face?

Isn’t this the person that Zi Lingyan was chasing at the auction house yesterday?

It turns out that he is our Yulufeng’s direct disciple?

Ji Wudao was very sure that this was highly similar to the man he met yesterday.

"What's his name?" Ji Wudao asked.

"What's his name? It seems to be Lin something?"

"By the way, his name is Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng? Was the genius at the disciple-recruiting ceremony also called this?

But no matter what, Lin Feng has already become an enemy of Zi Lingyan.

Ji Wudao's mouth curled up, and a thought flooded into his mind.

Since Lin Feng has a grudge against Zi Lingyan, according to the relationship between Chen Yu and Zi Lingyan, as long as he reveals the news to Chen Yu, Chen Yu will definitely vent his anger for her senior sister.

At that time, he could bring a few brothers to ambush him at Yulu Peak.

Not dead, but half dead!

"Chen Yu, just wait." Ji Wudao said with a crooked smile.

Just in case, he had to confirm whether Yulu Peak's direct disciple was Lin Feng.

If not, he didn't want to be accused of framing his fellow disciples for no reason.

"Come on, take me to see Lin Feng's residence!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, they stopped at the main hall of Yulu Peak, the residence of the fifth elder.

"Didn't I ask you to take me to Lin Feng's residence?"

"Why did you come to the Fifth Elder?"

Ji Wudao yelled at his younger brothers, and one of them hurriedly said, "Brother Ji, this is where Lin Feng lives."

"For some reason, the Fifth Elder let him live in the main hall."

Hearing this, Ji Wudao was a little puzzled. Didn’t the fifth elder forbid people from approaching his residence?

Because of this reason, the residences of the disciples of Yulu Peak are far away from the main hall, and Ji Wudao is no exception.

And these five elders actually allowed Lin Feng to live in the main hall for the first time?

Moreover, isn’t the name Lin Feng the same as the gifted black-robed disciple at the disciple-recruiting ceremony?

Could he really be that Lin Feng?

Otherwise, why would the Fifth Elder attach so much importance to him?

With these questions in mind, Ji Wudao led his younger brothers into the main hall.

They came to Lin Feng's door and kicked it open without saying a word.

Several people rushed into the room, shouting Lin Feng's name loudly.

There was no response from inside the house, and there was no sign of Lin Feng in the house.

"Where did this kid Lin Feng go?" several disciples said unhappily.

Ji Wudao stood at the door, pinching his nose and fanning himself with a fan.

He frowned and coughed, "Why is it so smelly in here! You are such lowly untouchables!"

He walked back while cursing.

But when he was ten steps away from the door, he could still smell a foul odor, and the smell seemed to be even stronger.

"What the hell is going on? What on earth could stink so bad?!"

He covered his nose with his sleeve, and several of his younger brothers also came out of the house.

As soon as they went out, they were choked by the pungent smell and some of them almost retched.

"Damn it, why is it so smelly outside? Why didn't I notice it just now?"

"I left in a hurry just now, so I didn't smell it, right?"

Ji Wudao was so nauseated by the stench that he ran out of the main hall.

"You guys, look inside carefully to find out what is so smelly!"

"Ok!"

After the younger brothers finished speaking, they dispersed towards the inner room of the main hall.

Five minutes passed, fifteen minutes passed, Ji Wudao had been waiting for half an hour.

He paced impatiently at the door, and just when he was about to give up his patience, hurried footsteps were heard from inside.

A disciple came running from the main hall, panting.

With a look of fear and pale face, he rushed out of the house as if he was running away.

He rushed out of the palace gate without caring about anything else and yelled at Ji Wudao.

"Someone's dead! Someone's dead in the main hall!"

"I'm dead, why are you yelling at me?"

The disciple's roar only made Ji Wudao even more unhappy.

"No, no!"

The disciple shouted even louder, gasping for breath.

"It's the Fifth Elder who died!"

"The dead person is the Fifth Elder!!!"

"What the hell did you say?" Ji Wudao opened his mouth in surprise and sat down on the ground.
