Zhou Yue was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes.

He hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and just pushed open the door, Gu Xuecheng had already rushed out from the next bedroom with a very nervous expression on his face.

Zhou Yue hurriedly said: "The master Xianzun also heard Cai Cai's voice?"

Seeing Zhou Yue, Gu Xuecheng seemed to be finally relieved, his face softened a little, and then said in a deep voice: "Follow me closely."

The two rushed towards the direction where the screams came from, and many monks also woke up. When the two arrived, a large group of monks had already gathered outside the door of the bedroom, all of them looked apprehensive and uneasy.

"What happened?"

"Did you hear that scream?"

"I heard that, it's really scary..."

Bai Chenyu was also in the crowd, looking a little nervous, Zhou Yue gave him a comforting look, Bai Chenyu pursed his lips, and nodded slightly.

Gu Xuecheng looked at the door and narrowed his eyes: "This is Song Lingzi's bedroom."

Looking at the closed door, Zhou Yue's heart sank slightly. He also remembered that this room seemed to be Song Lingzi's bedroom, but with Song Lingzi's eight-turn Golden Elixir cultivation base, how could he not be able to hear the noise outside? Voice?

I'm afraid that Song Lingzi has already...

Gu Xuecheng stared at the door, his snow-white and handsome face showed no expression, and suddenly flicked his sleeves!

"boom!!!"

There was only a loud bang, and the door was instantly torn apart! !

Zhou Yue opened her eyes wide and looked into the room, couldn't help gasping, her mind went blank.

Everyone also looked into the room intently, and then they were all stunned, and someone shouted: "Master Song Lingzi?!"

"Why, how could this be?"

In the middle of the bedroom, Song Lingzi was lying on his back on the ground next to the Eight Immortals table, his eyes were wide open, his face was pale, obviously he had died.

Gu Xuecheng frowned slightly, and slowly walked into the room, Zhou Yue swallowed silently, although she was a little afraid of the corpse, she still followed in.

Song Lingzi was lying on the ground with wide-eyed eyes and an expression of disbelief. There was a deep blood hole in her abdomen and chest, and there were two unfinished cups of tea on the Eight Immortals table.

The bloody hole in the chest should be the first sword, which was extremely swift and violent, causing Song Lingzi to lose the ability to resist in an instant. The bloody hole in the abdomen should be the second sword.

Zhou Yue endured the nausea, inspected the body carefully, and suddenly found something, and said softly, "What is this?"

On the bluestone floor on the right side of Song Lingzi, there is a "严" written in blood, which seems to be left by him before his death.

Gu Xuecheng shook his head: "I don't know."

At this time, Guan Hui, Ku Qing, Ku Zhen, Qing Lingzi, Song Lingzi's junior, Lu Yun, the head of the East China Sea Sword School, Qin Donglai, the owner of Yanbo Tower... and other monks from other schools, as well as the three peak masters of Lingxiao City, Qingfeng, etc. The envoys of Mingyue also arrived one after another.

The monks looked at Song Lingzi's cold body, their faces were a little pale, and Qing Lingzi on the stretcher was trembling all over, and his voice trembled: "Brother, you, you have also been murdered by that demon cultivator... But, this ,How can this be……"

Just like Qing Lingzi, everyone couldn't believe that a monk who was a rank-eight gold elixir was killed so easily.

Qin Donglai had a violent temper, and immediately flew into a rage: "That demon cultivator is so arrogant. As soon as he heard that the Xiuxian League was discussing how to pursue him, he sneaked into Lingxiao City overnight and killed people to demonstrate! This beast must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

Lu Yun's face was gloomy, and he nodded slightly.

Guan Hui murmured, "Immortal Lingxue, should I search the city immediately?"

Looking at Song Lingzi's body, Gu Xuecheng shook his head slowly: "Lingxiao City has a large protective formation set up by me, and it is impossible for a demon cultivator to sneak in easily. Besides, seeing the appearance of Daoist Song Lingzi, I am afraid that the murderer..."

He didn't continue, but slowly raised his pitch-black eyes, and glanced around blankly, that indifferent snow-like gaze made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Yue already understood what Gu Xuecheng meant, and secretly said that it was true. A cultivator at the beginning level of the rank eight golden core was stabbed in the chest, but he didn't even draw out his own spirit sword. Two cups of residual tea, this can only explain one thing——

The murderer was someone Song Lingzi knew.

Guan Hui also seemed to understand what Gu Xuecheng meant, and said in a deep voice, "Immortal Lingxue means that Daoist Song Lingzi knows the murderer?"

Gu Xuecheng said coldly: "Not only do I know each other, I'm afraid I'm very familiar with it. I think that the murderer is here, and everyone present is suspicious."

The senior monks in the bedroom looked at each other with solemn faces.

The monks watching the bustle outside the door all turned pale: "The murderer is among us?"

"Here, what can we do?"

"I dare not go back to the bedroom..."

"I'm going down the mountain!"

"What if I meet Moxiu on the way down the mountain?"

Gu Xuecheng thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please move to Lingxiao Hall, this seat will keep everyone safe."

Zhou Yue understood Gu Xuecheng's countermeasures, and couldn't help but nodded secretly. If the murderer was among the crowd, if they lived scattered, they would be like living targets, and they were very likely to be murdered again. After all, even a top monk like Gu Xuecheng couldn't take care of both. Protect everyone.

But if everyone stayed in Lingxiao Hall and Gu Xuecheng was in charge, the murderer would not be able to do it in public, let alone under Gu Xuecheng's nose, so naturally there was nothing he could do.

The monks also understood this truth, nodded and said: "What Immortal Ling Xue said is true!"

"Let's go, hurry back to Lingxiao Palace!"

Not long after, a group of people came to Lingxiao Hall mightily, and the outer disciples and servants also got busy, lighting lamps and serving tea.

Half an hour later, everyone finally settled down. The monks with high cultivation levels closed their eyes and meditated to recuperate, while the monks with low cultivation bases just fell asleep with their burdens as pillows.And those monks who couldn't meditate quietly and couldn't fall asleep gathered together and whispered.

"Oh, what can I do?"

"Who the devil is?"

"Master Song Lingzi is the first rank of rank eight golden elixir, so since the demon cultivator can kill Taoist Song Lingzi, his cultivation level should be at least rank eight golden elixir."

"Could it be..." Someone secretly looked at the leaders.

Someone immediately gave him a hand: "Shh, don't talk nonsense. Maybe that demon cultivator hides his cultivation and mixes with his disciples."

Someone sighed: "Oh, I want to go back to the sect."

"Who wouldn't want to..."

The long night was long and everyone was full of preoccupations, it was extremely difficult.

At dawn, Qin Donglai gradually became restless. Although he was over half a hundred years old, his temperament was still very violent. After sitting for a whole night, he became even more annoyed.

He took out the jug, drank a few mouthfuls of spiritual wine, and then stood up abruptly: "A group of people are scared out of their wits by the demon cultivators, but I just don't believe in this evil! I go out to practice swords every morning, and I haven't practiced swords for decades. After delaying, I won’t be that shrinking turtle today!”

Qin Shaosong persuaded in a low voice: "Father, you should be more cautious."

Qin Donglai gave him a sideways glance: "Scared out of your wits!"

With a cold snort, he strode out with the flagon in one hand and the spirit sword in the other. The monks looked at his tall back, some admired him, some looked cautious, some shook their heads and sighed.

Qin Donglai went out and didn't come back until it was bright. Qin Shaosong gradually became a little uneasy.

After an unknown amount of time, an outer disciple stumbled into the main hall: "It's not good, it's not good, Master Qin, Master Qin..."

Gu Xuecheng frowned slightly, Zhou Yue's heart tightened, did something happen again?

Qin Shaosong jumped up suddenly, and grabbed the outer disciple: "What's wrong with my father?!"

"The villain saw that the owner of Qin was lying on his stomach, lying in the clean house in the woods..."

The cleaning room is the toilet, and monks don't need to go out after bigu, but Qin Donglai is greedy for food and wine, has never bigu, and occasionally goes to the clean room.

Qin Shaosong heaved a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "What a fuss! My father is too fond of drinking, and he is probably just drunk."

"But the villain thinks something is wrong." The outer disciple said with a sad face, "Young master Qin, you, you can find out after you go and see."

Zhou Yue faintly felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Xuecheng, who said lightly, "Go and have a look."

So, a group of people came to the woods behind Ling Xiao Palace.

There was a small clean room in the woods for the outer disciples and servants of Lingxiao Palace. At this moment, Qin Donglai was lying on the dirty floor of the clean room, unconscious.

"Father!" Qin Shaosong rushed forward, trembling, turned Qin Donglai over, and his expression changed drastically.

Qin Donglai lay on his back in Qin Shaosong's arms, his expression was dull, there was a hideous bloody hole in the dantian of his abdomen, it was obvious that the golden core had been dug out, and he was not even conscious.

He murmured: "The rooster crows, the rooster crows...someone is laughing behind my back, someone is laughing behind my back...ahhhhhhhhhhh!!"

What he said was exactly the same as what happened to Qing Lingzi back then, Zhou Yue felt horrified when he heard that madman's murmur, and everyone turned pale and talked a lot.

"How could this be?"

"We are in Lingxiao City! How could we lose two heads in one night?"

"Amitabha!" Ku Zhen loudly proclaimed the Buddha's name, his aging and yellow eyes slowly turned, looking at Gu Xuecheng, "Immortal Lingxue, both Daoist Song Lingzi and the landlord Qin Donglai had accidents overnight, this Is it the way of hospitality in Ling Xiao City?"

His words were extremely rude, and the monks couldn't help looking at Gu Xuecheng.

Gu Xuecheng hated Kuzhen very much, and was too lazy to pretend to be a snake with him, so he sneered and said: "This word..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Donglai who was lying on the ground opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly shouted: "It's you! It's you! It's you who is laughing! It's you who are laughing behind my back!"

Qing Lingzi on the stretcher also turned pale, staring blankly at Gu Xuecheng.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Xuecheng frowned slightly.

Qin Donglai murmured: "It's you, it's you who are laughing, there is nothing wrong..."

Everyone looked bewildered, a few smart monks gradually understood what was going on, couldn't help swallowing, and quietly took two steps back.

Ku Qing took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and said in a warm voice: "Lord Qin, what do you mean by that?"

Qin Donglai said hoarsely: "It's him! Just before I fainted, someone laughed behind me, it's him..."

Ku Qing frowned and said, "Could you have heard wrong?"

Qin Donglai yelled hysterically: "Impossible! I can't hear you wrong! It's him!"

Ku Qing's face was solemn: "Master Qing Lingzi, you've also heard that demon cultivator's laughter, what do you think?"

Qing Lingzi also said tremblingly: "I listen, it also looks like..."

Hearing that even Qing Lingzi said that, Guanxu couldn't help but frowned, and everyone's expressions changed drastically. They stared at Gu Xuecheng, and involuntarily took a few steps back. Someone had already slowly pulled out half of the spirit sword .

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Zhou Yue felt extremely stunned. He glanced at Gu Xuecheng, who had no expression on Gu Xuecheng's snow-white and handsome face, and his dark eyes were icy cold.

At this moment, Ku Qing stared at Gu Xuecheng closely, as if thinking of something, his face gradually turned pale: "Could it be, is it really like that?"

Guan Hui frowned and said, "Ku Qing, if you have something to say, speak up."

Ku Qing was silent for a long time before he said with great difficulty: "I have heard people say that Immortal Lingxue was aliased as Zhou Qingcheng and followed the master of Lingxi Peak for many years. The murder of boys and girls six years ago, the master of Lingxi Peak was also present. "

Ku Zhen immediately said: "That's right, I remember that at that time, there was always a young man beside the master of Lingxi Peak, who was said to be the distant cousin of the master of Lingxi Peak. Now that I think about it, that cousin back then should be Immortal Lingxue."

Gu Xuecheng said coldly: "So what?"

Ku Qing paused word by word and said: "Brother Ku Zhen said yesterday that Peak Lord Lingxi took the book "Five Elements for Alchemy" from him back then. Since Immortal Lingxue followed Peak Master Lingxi, he naturally read it."

Speaking of this, he paused, and then slowly said: "My little monk remembers that not long after the bloody incident, there was a gossip that the corpses of a group of Jindan monks were stolen in Lingxiao City. And a few months later, Lingxue Immortal Venerable formed I got the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir."

Although Ku Qing didn't say it clearly, his meaning couldn't be more obvious. Suddenly someone murmured: "Could it be that Immortal Ling Xue formed the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir by... the Man-Eating Pill?"

"No wonder he is so young, he can form a Nine Rank Golden Core!"

"I see!"

"In this way, he formed the golden elixir by means of sorcery, and now he can't control it, and he is about to go mad, so he kills people everywhere, refines the human elixir, and suppresses the demons in his heart?"

Someone said in a trembling voice: "Then if we go to Lingxiao City, aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap?"

Gu Xuecheng was still expressionless, but Zhou Yue couldn't help it, and angrily said: "What proof do you have? Such bloody spouting!"

Ku Qing looked at the small golden sundial on Gu Xuecheng's waist, and said calmly: "There is one thing that I have been unable to understand, but if Immortal Ling Xuecheng is the murderer, then it makes sense."

Guan Hui frowned: "You can just say it."

Ku Qing said coldly: "Why did the Taoist Master Qing Lingzi wake up when the cock crowed, and no one else was woken up? Moreover, when we found the unconscious Daoist Qing Lingzi, it was only at the beginning of Yin Shi, and he was still alive. Before dawn, there was no rooster crowing in Lushui Village."

He stared at Gu Xuecheng, and said word by word: "Because you used the Qiankun sundial to bring Daoist Qing Lingzi to the end of Yinshi! You separated us with time, and then dug his pill alive!"

Ku Qing paused for a moment, and then said sharply: "It's exactly the same thing happened to Lord Qin just now! It's just that you got so carried away, that Lord Qin saw through it because of a chuckle!"

?The cultivators stared at the sundial on Gu Xuecheng's waist, showing fear on their faces, and slowly backed away.

Gu Xuecheng said coldly: "This seat was just now in Lingxiao Palace."

Ku Zhen said coldly: "You are a Nine-Turn Golden Core cultivator, so what's the difficulty in transforming into a clone to sit in Lingxiao Palace?"

Ku Qing closed his eyes: "As long as you know that the murderer is you Lingxue Immortal, then everything will make sense. The reason why Daoist Song Lingzi was taken in the chest without any defense is because the late-night visitor Your guest is Immortal Lingxue, how could he be on guard?"

He shook his head with a sad expression: "The point that Daoist Song Lingzi wrote before he died is exactly your first pen written by Immortal Lingxue."

Everyone looked at Gu Xuecheng with a cold expression, and many people's legs had already started to feel weak.

"Could it be that he tricked us into Lingxiao City in order to catch us all?"

"Or, let's run..."

Lu Yun, the master of the Eastern Sea Sword School, is a straightforward swordsman. He pulled out his spirit sword with a "swipe", and said angrily, "What are you afraid of? Master Guanhui, Master Kuzhen, Master Kuqing, and Master Qin Shaozhu together , may not be able to beat him alone!"

Lu Zilin slowly drew out his long sword, and said coldly: "Try." It means you try.

With a soft "swipe", Lin Siyun, Luo Xian, Qingfeng Mingyue, and Seven Star Dark Guard also unsheathed their spirit swords one after another, and the atmosphere was tense.

Gu Xuecheng paused word by word: "Back, down."

Lu Zilin and the others glanced at each other, but reluctantly withdrew their swords.

Gu Xuecheng took two steps forward slowly, directly facing the hundreds of bright spiritual swords of the monks, and said contemptuously: "Let's go up together."

Lu Yun's eyes were about to burst, and sooner or later he said, the spirit sword, like lightning, had already arrived in front of Gu Xuecheng!At the same time, Ku Zhen, Ku Qing, Qin Shaosong and others also jumped up!

Gu Xuecheng sneered, even Chi Xiao hadn't even pulled out of the sheath, and his snow-white sleeves brushed across the air!The majestic aura surged like a tsunami!

"Immortal Venerable, show mercy!" Guan Hui turned pale with shock, the handsome white-clothed monk flicked lightly, with golden light shining in his hand, it was one of the four magic weapons that could attack and defend - the soul refining bowl!

Gu Xuecheng took off the scabbard with his right hand, Chi Xiao didn't even get out of the scabbard, but casually flicked it away, and gently swung the soul refining bowl away!At the same time, the five cold and white fingers on his left hand had already pinched Guan Hui's neck!

As long as he twisted it lightly, the abbot of Biyun Temple would splatter blood on the spot!

Zhou Yue said anxiously: "Don't kill him!"

Guan Hui is the abbot of Biyun Temple, and he has always remained neutral before. He seems to be still thinking about this case carefully. He never blamed Gu Xuecheng, and now he is doing it to save people. If Gu Xuecheng kills him rashly, he will be completely hostile to the entire cultivation world !

Gu Xuecheng paused, and gently threw Guanhui out with his left hand. At this moment, another burst of murderous intent came from behind him!Gu Xuecheng just wanted to block it with his scabbard, but in a blink of an eye, he suddenly remembered something, and he didn't swing the scabbard, but turned slightly sideways.

Suddenly there was a slight pain in the waist, and Ku Qing had already been hit by the sword!

The monks were overwhelmed with surprise and shouted, "Go!"

"Kill him!!"

Zhou Yue only felt cold all over, and lost his voice: "Xiaocheng!"

It's just that the scene was in chaos, his voice was completely drowned out, no one heard him, only Gu Xuecheng raised the corners of his lips very lightly, then pursed his lips, pressed his left hand on the abdominal wound, pulled out Chi Xiao with his right hand, and swept across !

The scorching red sword energy surged, and all the monks were immediately overturned!Hundreds of spirit swords also flew into the sky!

Gu Xuecheng said coldly: "Take it!"

Lu Zilin, Lin Siyun, Luo Xian, and Qingfeng Mingyue immediately drew out their spirit swords and quickly subdued Guanxu, Lu Yun, Kuqing, Kuzhen and others.

Gu Xuecheng said indifferently: "Kuqing Kuzhen slandered me and was sent to the dungeon to await trial. The rest of the people are temporarily under house arrest in the Lingxiao Palace, and they are not allowed to leave without an order from my seat."

After finishing speaking, he looked around coldly for a week, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Everyone's faces were pale, Ku Zhen couldn't help taking a peek at Ku Qing, as if he was looking for some help, but Ku Qing didn't look at him, he just looked at Gu Xuecheng's back gloomyly, his face was extremely ugly.

As Gu Xuecheng walked forward with a cold face, he secretly glanced at Zhou Yue in the crowd. The other party was looking at this side anxiously, with an expression of concern that could hardly be concealed.

Gu Xuecheng forced himself to look back, his snow-white and handsome face was indifferent, but his chest was extremely sweet, he couldn't help but think secretly, this method really worked, seeing how worried his brother was, he would come to him tonight in all likelihood.

He was sweet in his heart, and the wound didn't seem to hurt too much. While suppressing the aura severely, making his face look paler and haggard, he hurriedly walked towards the Yunxue Bridge, as if he was about to be unable to hold on anymore.

After Gu Xuecheng left, the three peak masters and Qingfengmingyue envoys began to clean up the scene. Zhou Yue took the opportunity to sneak back to the compound on the mountainside, sneaked into the house, dug out a pile of medicinal materials from the mustard bag, took out a small stove, and started to boil. Pharmaceutical Soup.

When Gu Xuecheng left, his face looked very haggard. This kid has always been indifferent and tough. I have never seen him look so pale and helpless... That sword seems to be very deep, and the position is also very dangerous. Don't know how serious it is.

Now that the situation is dangerous, Gu Xuecheng can't do anything wrong with his body, otherwise he won't be able to suppress those monks with ulterior motives, so he must take Qi-tonifying soup and Xueha pills as soon as possible to get well soon.

Gu Xuecheng is a withdrawn boy by nature, and there seems to be no one to take care of him at all, so he can't just let it go, he can only take another risk.What's more, there is no alchemist in this world who is better at brewing medicine and alchemy than himself.

"It's really what I owed him in my previous life..." Zhou Yue sighed, trying to stir the medicinal soup, trying to speed up the cooking.

Bai Chenyu walked into the room and asked curiously, "Brother, what are you cooking?"

Zhou Yue said perfunctorily: "Too many things happened today, I was a little frightened, I don't feel very well, I want to make a pot of medicinal soup to make up for it."

Bai Chenyu looked at the remaining herbs beside the stove, raised his eyebrows and said, "But these herbs seem to heal trauma."

Zhou Yue said embarrassingly: "What do you know, you can also regulate...regulate the heart."

Bai Chenyu looked at the pitch-black and rich medicinal soup, slightly narrowed his eyes, his eyes were a bit gloomy, but he didn't ask any more questions.

About two hours later, Zhou Yue finally made the medicinal soup, and it was already very late.

Bai Chenyu had already fallen asleep, breathing long and evenly, and Zhou Yue lightly tapped a pillar of tranquilizing incense, then poured the medicinal soup into a small jar, and put three Xueha pills in her bosom, and then put on Dressed in night clothes, he sneaked towards Yunxue Bridge.

The Yunxue Bridge was empty, and all the guards had withdrawn.Zhou Yue was taken aback for a moment, and then guessed that maybe because something happened in Lingxiao Palace, there were not enough manpower there, so he transferred people there.

He felt slightly relieved, and lightly swept towards the opposite side.

When he reached the mountainside of Lingxi Peak, Zhou Yue suddenly heard a soft "click" sound from behind him, as if someone had stepped on a branch and broke it. There are shadows and no one.
