Yu Hongchen

When everyone rushed to the west bank, they suddenly saw a corpse that looked like a mummy lying on the bank.

I saw "it" slumped on the ground, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in skin, the skin and bones were as black as coke, but there was an evil breath, and the inner alchemy was also destroyed; look at the face again, the facial features are sunken, His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't see his original appearance clearly.

If it weren't for the unique clothing fragments on his body to reveal the identity of the deceased, everyone would never have thought that the person who died in such a terrifying manner was actually the majestic Elder Yunxiang.

Seeing this, the Yunshan disciples all knelt down on the ground with sad faces, and even a few cried out loudly, wailing and mourning, and the onlookers couldn't hold back their tears.

"Elder! Elder!"

"Woooooo-"

At the beginning of the drizzle, a ray of morning light quietly shone among the clouds, and the ripples on the seashore were shining brightly, reflecting on the body that had not condensed in the frost and rain, dazzled the disciple's eyes, and also hurt his heart.

The disciples of Yunshan on the bank had been crying for a long time, everyone from Qiushuimen and Tianyi Pavilion stood behind them, looking sad, Qu Baiwei and Shang Lixing looked at each other with an unresolved mist in his eyes. Seeing 12 points of surprise.

Xie Liuchen didn't know what it was like for a moment, looking at the charred corpse in front of him, as if the elder's voice and appearance were still vivid in his memory, but in a blink of an eye it was forever, he knelt beside Xiang Wanning, and saw her crying with tears in his eyes , I couldn't help but my eyes were sore, and I couldn't help comforting: "Sister, don't cry..."

Fang Jinglin was in a daze for a while before accepting the fact. He stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, and after a while he hugged her tightly, sobbing in a low voice: "Senior Sister, Elder, he—he—"

"Don't cry, we have to cheer up and avenge the elders!"

After crying, Xiang Wanning was the first to cheer up. She wiped away the tears on her face, closed her eyes deeply, and when she raised her head again, she already had a determined expression, but her eyes were still flushed.

She broke free from Fang Jinglin's embrace, stood up and faced Shang Lixing and Qu Baiwei who were stern, and then knelt down in front of the two, saying loudly: "Senior Brother Shang, Pavilion Master Qu, I sent Elder Yun Xiang to die innocently. , there must be an inside story, disciple Xiang Wanning is not talented, and only seeks justice for disciple Yunshan and Elder Yunxiang!"

She bowed to the end, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Shang and Pavilion Master Qu are the masters for us!"

The disciples of Yunshan also restrained their expressions, knelt down behind them, prostrated themselves on the ground, and said in unison: "Brother Shang and Pavilion Master Qu are the masters for us!"

Qu Baiwei immediately helped her up: "Please hurry up to my nephew, how can I do such a great gift."

Shang Lixing also said warmly: "Junior Sister Xiang, get up." Glancing at the kneeling Yunshan disciple, "everyone get up, Elder Yun Xiang died strangely, this is no longer a matter of your sect."

Qu Baiwei helped up the disciples of Yunshan who were kneeling on the ground one by one: "Yes, Elder Yun Xiang died in my Tianyi Pavilion, this is the responsibility of my Tianyi Pavilion, it is really serious to say to my nephew. "

Shang Lixing said: "My condolences to all the younger brothers and sisters, Wan Ning, please tell the head of the matter first."

Xiang Wanning stood up, couldn't hold back the tears again, Fang Jinglin said softly: "Senior sister, let me send a message to the head, don't be too sad."

Xiang Wanning shook her head: "It's nothing, I'll do it myself." She and Fang Jinglin walked aside, took out Yunshan's unique communication talisman, poured it with true energy, and began to send the news of the elder's death back to the Yunshan Sword Sect a hundred thousand miles away.

Over there, Shang Lixing and Qu Baiwei walked back and forth from left to right, wandering around the body of Elder Yun Xiang, and occasionally lowered their chests, lifted the corpse's rags, and searched for traces.The other Yunshan disciples were watching anxiously, but they didn't dare to go forward to disturb them.Xie Liuchen was hidden in the group of disciples, and for some reason, his heart was always beating incessantly.

……

After a while, Qu Bai Weifang said, "What did the Master of Shang see?"

Shang Lixing looked down at the dots on the corpse, and sighed, "It's a pity."

Qu Baiwei also looked at the muddy ground: "Yeah, it's a pity, if it wasn't for the rain, maybe we could still see something."

The ground under his feet was covered with rotten soil and mud, and the corpse had penetrated an inch into the ground, and his whole body was in a mess.A rain in the early morning washed away all possible evidence, no matter how sharp your eyes were, it was difficult to detect traces of murder.

Shang Lixing turned his attention to the strange corpse again, and frowned: "This method of turning people into mummified corpses is somewhat familiar, it seems to be—"

Qu Bai raised his head suddenly, and lost his voice: "Could it be—?"

Shang Lixing pursed his lips and frowned, waved his hand back, and called the names of a few casual cultivators behind him, letting them come forward.

As if infected by the heavy atmosphere, all the sects present dared not show their spirits. The Qiushui sect casual cultivators approached the corpse, and Shang Lixing said to them: "You guys have always been calm, and you have been to the world again. Yes, take a closer look, is it—" He lowered his voice, "Is it consistent with the mortal death in the mortal world?"

The few casual cultivators also knew that the situation was serious, so they didn't dare to be careless at all. They carefully identified the corpse, whispered to each other and confirmed it again and again, then respectfully said to Shang Lixing: "Yes, sect master, some of us had a conversation with Ji some time ago. Judo masters have been to the mortal world, and personally dealt with mortals slaughtered by the demons, except that there is no inner alchemy to be taken out, and their death conditions are exactly the same as Elder Yunxiang."

"What? Demons?!"

"It turned out that the demons killed the elder?"

"Oh my god, there are demons on the East Island?!"

The words startled a thousand layers of waves, except for the casual cultivators of Qiushuimen, the faces of Tianyi Pavilion disciples and Yunshan disciples all changed, and there were many discussions.

Mozu?It turned out to be the demon race?

Xie Liuchen woke up suddenly, suddenly felt a fierce killing intent around him, looked up, but saw that the blood in Xiang Wanning's eyes had not faded, staring at him with the hatred that would crush him to ashes!

Xie Liuchen's heart trembled, he understood everything instantly, and couldn't bear to bow his head again.

It turns out that the senior sister already knew that he was connected with the demons.

He was feeling dejected, his eyes flickered, but was blocked by an invisible figure.

It's a business trip.

He blocked Xie Liuchen behind him, met Xiang Wanning's hateful eyes, shook his head slightly, Xiang Wanning was cut off from his sight, his murderous intent gradually eased, his expression gradually relaxed, he also nodded slightly, and turned his head away.

The meaning of relief is self-evident.

Shang Lixing protects Xie Liuchen because he is good at knowing people, and he believes that Xie Liuchen is innocent, so he will not allow others to misunderstand him. Xiang Wanning, under the instruction of his gaze, believes that Xie Liuchen is a person, so he puts down his doubts and hatred.

Their tacit actions were almost undetectable in the eyes of others, and the others were distracted by the word Mozu, so they didn't notice their actions for a while.

Xie Liuchen said softly behind him: "Thank you."

Shang Lixing glanced at him indifferently, then returned to the side of Elder Yunxiang's body: "Are you sure? This is not a joke."

Those casual cultivators laughed instead: "The master of the sect looks down on us too much. Although we are average in cultivation, our eyes are good. The skin and bones are dark, and the atmosphere of evil spirits is what Master Ji Judao discovered. Exactly the same."

Qu Baiwei was puzzled: "But how is this possible?"

"It's really impossible..." Shang Lixing also frowned in thought, as one of the four elders of Yunshan Sword Sect, Elder Yun Xiang's cultivation level is not comparable to that of ordinary people, who can kill him?Or is it on the site of Tianyi Pavilion, where there are three sects and hundreds of monks?

Who else has this ability?

Different from the grief and anger of others, Shang Lixing was a little more annoyed besides being surprised.

Last night he broke the courtyard's restrictions and stayed half the night in the courtyard where disciple Yunshan stayed. At that time, he was full of thoughts on Xie Liuchen, and he never thought about why he didn't see Elder Yunxiang coming out to see him.

If he had paid more attention at that time and found that Elder Yun Xiang had never returned, would he have saved his life and prevented this tragedy from happening?

Someone quietly murdered a powerful person on the coast of the East Island, but no one on the island noticed it. Thinking of this, Shang Lixing immediately shuddered.

Who is it that possesses such unrivaled ability?

Shang Lixing pondered for a while, and said to Qu Baiwei: "Can the pavilion master explain the operation rules of the Tianyi Pavilion magic circle?"

Qu Baiwei also suddenly realized, and explained in detail the restriction of the Tianyi Pavilion magic circle.The East Island where Tianyi Pavilion is located is far away from the four continents, and it is a self-contained body. It is a hundred thousand miles away from the nearest land. A patrol team composed of internal disciples patrols regularly at dawn and dusk every day.

In other words, it is very likely that the murderer came to East Island from other continents, killed Elder Yunxiang on the coast, and then left East Island, and perfectly staggered the inspection time of Tianyi Pavilion disciples.

However, Shang Lixing felt that there were many doubts in it. It must be known that Tianyi Pavilion dared to relax the restrictions on the outskirts of the coast. How infuriating, not to mention killing people in a cover-up after arriving at Tianyi Pavilion, no matter how you think about it, it is shocking to the world. He asked himself that he was not fully sure that he could kill Elder Yun Xiang with one blow after flying over a hundred thousand miles. If someone really To be able to do this, then again, what a terrifying power...

wrong……

Shang Lixing thought again, what if the murderer didn't fly over the sea, but came using a teleportation talisman?

Then how did the murderer ensure that after traveling to this place, the first person he met was Elder Yunxiang, not anyone else?

How precious is the teleportation talisman that can travel hundreds of thousands of miles. If the murderer can't guarantee a hit, is there any point in coming to the East Island?

Unless... Elder Yun Xiang took the initiative to come out to meet him!

The more he thought about it, the clearer his thinking became. If the other party really used the teleportation talisman, it would only be Elder Yun Xiang who came out to respond.

Could it be - could it be that Elder Yun Xiang had contacts with the demons? !

Shang Lixing felt incredible.

At this time, Tianyi Pavilion also found out the disciple who brought Elder Yunxiang to the guest room last night. The disciple said that after the discussion last night, Elder Yunxiang said that he could pass the inner court's restraint, and rejected the disciple of Tianyi Pavilion. As a leader, he is highly respected, and also a guest from afar, ordinary disciples dare not say no.

Xiang Wanning also nodded: "After leaving the front hall last night, Elder Yun Xiang said that he had something important to do and asked me to go back with the disciples of Tianyi Pavilion first. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the elder is..."

There was a lot of discussion among the people present. It turned out that Elder Yun Xiang left voluntarily last night. Could it be that he had hooked up with the demons and then went out to meet with the demons, but was killed by the demons for some reason?

Everyone seems to have already confirmed this idea in their hearts, and the gazes looking at the corpse on the ground are a little bit more surprised and disdainful.

Xiang Wanning couldn't help shouting: "Impossible! The elder is not this kind of person!"

Shang Lixing said softly: "Junior Sister Xiang, don't worry, I'm afraid the truth is not that simple." He coldly glanced at the faces present and exerted his authority: "Everyone, don't talk too much. I made a decision in vain, and ruined the elder's innocence."

Qu Baiwei also agreed: "Yes, Elder Yun Xiang is a person that everyone can see. If you have any thoughts, let's wait for the truth to come out."

Everyone present heard what he said, and they knew that their words and deeds were inappropriate, so they all fell silent.

The truth was even more confusing, and there was no trace of clues at the scene. After discussing with Qu Baiwei, Shang Lixing decided that Yunshan disciples should send the body of Elder Yunxiang back to Yunshan first, and then find the right time to discuss countermeasures and find out the truth.

The Qiushui Gate has been delayed for half a day, so Shang Lixing had to take the disciples to take a step ahead, leaving Yunshan disciple alone to wait for the master to come to meet him. Go back to the inner courtyard first and leave room for them to mourn.

The teacher's bizarre death pierced his heart like a knife, leaving a bloody wound. At this moment, these young disciples really realized that the most helpless thing in the world is the depression of the living. The dead cannot rest in peace.
