The murderer's first foothold was found, to the west of Wanhu Ancient Cave.
Who among cultivators is a fool?
Everyone immediately had suspicions in their minds.
Although Shatu's explanation is reasonable, it still cannot rule out the identity of the Demon Cult as the number one suspect.
The other suspects in everyone's minds are Xuantian Sect, Piaomiao Pavilion, and Cangyun Sect.
Apart from these forces, other forces do not have the means or the courage.
The murderer settled a hundred miles west of Wanhu Ancient Cave. The most likely possibility is that the murderer came from the west.
From this point of view, apart from the Demon Sect, Xuantian Sect is the most suspect.
After all, Xuantian Sect and Ye Xiaochuan have an undying hatred.
Piaomiao Pavilion is in the northwest, so there is a possibility, but considering that Piaomiao Pavilion has no big grudges except for having a conflict with Ye Xiaochuan over Zuo Qiu's matter.
What's more, that Guan Shaoqin is a woman who puts interests first and doesn't chase rabbits without letting go of hawks. There is no reason for her to risk the disapproval of the world and slaughter the young ghost Xuanzong.
Of course, it cannot be 100% certain that the murderer came from the west just because the murderer's first foothold was in the west.
If it was Yu Jizi who did this, he would have considered this and detoured to the west, thus blaming the matter on the sect forces in the west of Wanhu Ancient Cave.
Ye Xiaochuan is a traitor of Cangyun Sect and possesses all the high-level cultivation methods of Cangyun Sect. In order to protect Cangyun's true method from being leaked, Yu Jizi has reason to do this.
What's more, Yu Jizi has a record of doing this kind of thing. Back then, he led the elders of the Cangyun Sect and massacred the Thousand Faces Sect in one night.
Everyone in the righteous way shouted that this must be the work of the Demon Cult.
However, the demon sect disciples just defended themselves. Although they suspected that the matter might be related to Xuantian Sect or Piaomiao Pavilion, they did not say anything out loud.
If this happens, Tuoba Yu must have given instructions in advance.
The massacre of Wanhu Ancient Cave has a far-reaching impact and a great crime. Tuoba Yu is now the leader of the human alliance. He will never arbitrarily impute such a big crime to Zhengdaoxuan without substantive evidence.
On top of Tianzong or Piaomiao Pavilion.
Ye Xiaochuan and Wanyan Wulei listened for a while, and through the words of the demon sect disciples, they both understood Tuoba Yu's thoughts.
It has to be said that although Tuoba Yu is Ye Xiaochuan's enemy and political enemy, Ye Xiaochuan still admires Tuo Bayu in his heart.
If Tuobayu wasn't the kind of person who had a big picture view, Ye Xiaochuan would never have adopted Shang Yongye's advice and declared war on more than a hundred sects at the same time.
It was precisely because Ye Xiaochuan saw through Tuoba Yu and knew that Tuoba Yu could not fight him to the death over the issue of the Southern Territory for the sake of the overall interests of the world, so Ye Xiaochuan dared to do such an earth-shattering thing.
If it were Fairy Yi Miao or Chen Xuanjia who was in charge of the Holy Cult, no matter whether there was any evidence or not, they would definitely lead this matter to Xuantian Sect in order to clear the relationship with themselves.
Tuoba Yu did not do this, and did not even attack any sect. This matter was indeed done with some style.
When the sun was about to set, another group of cultivators came from the direction of Wanhu Ancient Cave.
Almost all of these people are acquaintances of Ye Xiaochuan, and they are all righteous disciples of the Cangyun Sect or the Cangyun line.
The leader of the team is Ning Xiangruo.
Yang Shijiu, Gu Pan'er, Chu Tianxing, Zhu Changshui, Liu Tong, Mei Hezi and others were all there.
Ye Xiaochuan can still understand these smart people coming to investigate the case.
But why are Zhu Changshui, Zhao Shilin, Chen Youdao, Yang Quanyong, and Zhao Wuji among these Cangyun Sect disciples?
Of these five people, the first four are out-and-out dandy disciples with low IQs who spend their days eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.
The last Zao Wuji was just a big piece of wood in the shape of a human being. If he was asked to investigate the case, it would be better to train a sow to fly into the sky.
Cangyun Sect is now the uncrowned king of the world of cultivation.
As soon as these elite disciples of Cangyun Sect appeared, the chaotic scene immediately calmed down.
Most of Cangyun's disciples fell outside the cordon. Only Ning Xiangruo and the stupid Zhao Wuji fell inside the cordon and asked Yang Yishuang and others about the results of their investigation here.
This group of Cangyun Sect disciples stood very close to Ye Xiaochuan, but Ye Xiaochuan and Wanyan Wulei had changed their appearance at this moment, and they could not recognize them at all.
Mihezi glanced at it for a few times, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth that saw everything.
Others didn't notice it, but Ye Xiaochuan noticed the subtle change in Meihezi's expression.
Ye Xiaochuan has always felt that Meihezi is the most difficult woman to deal with in the world.
As for Yamashita Zhishu, he ostensibly holds the title of Master of the Five Elements Sect, but in terms of wisdom and means, he is far behind Meihezi.
If Mei Hezi hadn't married Sun Yao, and the Five Elements Sect was still just an unknown sect living on the small island of Fusang, how could it have established a firm foothold in China in just over twenty years.
I heard that the Five Elements Sect is now developing rapidly based on the Julong Peak to the west of Qixing Mountain. It has not only taken over the territory of the four major corpse exorcism families in western Hunan, but has also recently expanded to the west and secretly competed with the Langya Immortal Sect several times.
Ye Xiaochuan has always been afraid of Mihezi. He used to be wary of her when he was at Cangyun Sect.
After not seeing each other for so many years, Ye Xiaochuan could not forget this terrible woman.
Seeing Mihezi again at this moment, Ye Xiaochuan felt a chill in his heart when he saw Mihezi's see-through expression.
He has very strong feelings for Cangyun Sect.
He knew very well that it was definitely not a good thing for Cangyun that this woman stayed in Cangyun and was the wife of Sun Yao, a senior executive in Cangyun.
Meihezi's cultivation has also improved rapidly in recent years, and she felt someone's eyes peeking at her.
Turning around to look, he saw a man in a green shirt whom he didn't recognize.
This man is very handsome with his fine features and fine features.
When Ye Xiaochuan saw that Meihezi had discovered him, he immediately grinned, showing two rows of white teeth.
Then, this guy's eyebrows were raised again and again.
Mihezi frowned slightly when she saw this handsome man teasing her.
There are so many Cangyun Sect disciples around. What if they see other men teasing them?
Just as he was about to ignore this frivolous scoundrel, he suddenly saw a tall woman with a cloth wrapped around her head next to the man. She stretched out her hand and slapped the man on the back of the head, then twisted one of the man's ears and pulled it.
He dragged him away.
Seeing this, Meihezi couldn't help but smile.
I thought to myself: "All men have the same virtue. They eat from the bowl and look at the pot."
Immediately, she thought of something again and looked at the young man and woman walking away in the darkness.
She always felt that the man's look and temperament were familiar to her.
Then, the figure of Ye Xiaochuan appeared in her mind.
In her memory, she had seen Ye Xiaochuan being slapped on the back of the head and his ears twisted by fairies such as Baili Yuan many times.
Mihezi frowned again, then shook her head.
According to the information from Cangyun Sect disciples, Ye Xiaochuan has always been in Hanhai Ancient City and has never left even half a step. This cannot be him.
