Because something like this happened, the competition had to be terminated halfway.
Even though the competition is very important to the sect, no one will offend deputy sect leader Zhang Tielin at this time. Even the sect leader Wei Dongnian, after learning about this, just said that he would temporarily suspend the sect competition and wait for something to happen.
After the difference comes to light, let's try again.
Li Shan was responsible for the task of finding out the truth. After all, Li Shan knew that Zhang Tielin would always keep an eye on the progress of the investigation. He had nothing to say about this. Zhang Tielin regarded Zhang Qi as his own
Treated as his own son, if Zhang Qi is killed, Zhang Tielin will inevitably cause a bloody storm.
I just don't know why, maybe because of his more than 40 years of running the execution hall, Li Shan always felt that things were not that simple, and that there might be a deep inside story.
He first came to Zhang Qi's residence and carefully searched the inside and outside. After that, he was a little stunned. Zhang Qi's residence can be said to be the best place in the outer gate. It is rich in aura and has various defensive features.
The spiritual formation facilities are also very complete. This is because of Zhang Qi's outstanding performance. In addition, the deputy sect Zhang Tielin's face is naturally involved in it.
In other words, an outer disciple could not theoretically have such a residence, but Zhang Qi did. However, even in such a well-defended residence, Zhang Qi was still killed.
The most important thing is... Li Shan didn't find anything wrong.
Not to mention it was a warning from the spiritual array. After checking the spiritual array, he found that the spiritual array was intact and in a completely normal and permissible state. In other words, ordinary people could not break in. Even if they could successfully break in and
Kill Zhang Qi, but there will definitely be traces of fighting and various signs left behind.
But, no. The whole scene looked as if Zhang Qi was staying here alone, and then he was suddenly killed, and the murderer disappeared out of thin air.
Li Shan's brows were furrowed. Various signs seemed to indicate that no one had appeared here at all, or that there was a being whose strength exceeded Li Shan's imagination. He could enter here across space and kill Zhang Qi in an instant.
And left across space.
This is the only explanation that seems to be the most reasonable. It has to be said that Li Shan’s cultivation strength is here and he has been in charge of the execution hall for decades. He can be said to be extremely sophisticated. His analysis is almost factual.
However, who would believe this fact if told? Even Li Shan himself does not think he can do it. If anyone can do it, it is estimated that only the leader Wei Dongnian in the entire Dongxuan Sect has this strength...
"This situation...should be unlikely..." Li Shan pondered for a while and shook his head. Of course, Wei Dongnian couldn't do this. Then he was a foreign enemy. But if he was a foreign enemy, with that person peeking into the Tao realm,
Why did he assassinate Zhang Qi, an outer disciple with such great strength? He really couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only rule out this idea.
Just as he shook his head, a strong wind appeared, and Zhang Tielin appeared next to him with a livid face. It had been two hours since Zhang Qi's body was found, and the sun was high in the sky. Zhang Tielin still couldn't let go and rushed there.
on site.
But after all, he is a cultivator at the third level of the Dao Realm. Although he was a little sad when his close junior was killed, he still had the ability to suppress his grief after a few hours.
.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Tielin asked calmly, trying his best not to look at Zhang Qi, whose body and head were missing.
"Things are very strange. The spiritual array and various mechanisms in Zhang Xiannephew's residence are intact. They are still running normally without any movement. Zhang Xiannephew should have been practicing here last night. Then, it seemed that he was
Someone suddenly appeared and killed him, and then that person disappeared out of thin air." Li Shan replied equally calmly, he was just explaining the facts, not explaining Zhang Tielin's doubts.
Zhang Tielin's face twitched twice. His strength was almost the same as Li Shan's. It was obvious that Li Shan was not lying. In fact, when Zhang Qi's body was found in the morning, he had already briefly investigated the scene.
The conclusions that can be drawn are exactly the same as what Li Shan said.
"The spiritual formation at Zhang Qi's residence was set up by me personally. I believe you can see this. If someone can enter here out of thin air without alerting Zhang Qi, then it may have to be someone with a cultivation level far beyond mine.
It can be done, such as the fourth level of the Peeping Dao Realm... However, the only leader of this sect is the fourth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, so he will naturally not do such a thing. But if it is an outside enemy, a powerful person at the fourth level of the Peeping Dao Realm
Why would you come to assassinate an outer disciple like Zhang Qi?" Zhang Tielin said coldly.
Li Shan was silent, this was indeed unexplainable.
Zhang Tielin changed his voice and said slowly: "Elder Li, do you think it is possible that someone Zhang Qi is familiar with came here. Zhang Qi would naturally not be on guard, but after entering here, that person took advantage of Zhang Qi's
Qi accidentally killed it? Although this spiritual formation will give you a warning when entering, it will not when exiting."
Li Shan was slightly startled, and suddenly looked up at Zhang Tielin. Zhang Tielin was looking into the air at the door, his face expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Nephew Zhang Qi can be said to be the most outstanding person among the outer disciples. Even if we are acquaintances, I don't think that nephew Zhang Qi will be killed instantly without defense!" Li Shan said quickly. Because he is very
Clearly, if Zhang Qi is known to the outer disciples and has enough strength to kill Zhang Qi in an instant, perhaps only Bai Feng, whom he values, can do it.
It can be said that Zhang Tielin is in great grief right now, and no one can say anything when he does something crazy. If he decides that Bai Feng did it, then Bai Feng will definitely die?
Zhang Tielin nodded noncommittally and said, "What does Elder Li think now? Is this matter still being investigated clearly?"
"Of course we can investigate clearly!" Li Shan said quickly: "The situation in the residence can only determine the strength of the murderer and how he did it. We have other directions to investigate, such as... the wounds on nephew Zhang Xian's body!
"
Zhang Tielin's eyes narrowed and he said: "How to check?"
"Whenever a weapon is used to injure someone, the shape of the wound will be different. Even because of the different materials of the weapon, the wound will be different. Most of the immortal cultivators use magic weapons, and the wounds left behind have the smell of magic weapons. These
You can check it all." Li Shan replied.
Zhang Tielin stopped talking, but had no intention of leaving, and just stood aside and watched.
Although Li Shan knew that this was not good, Zhang Tielin was the master of suffering and even the deputy sect master, so he could not ask Zhang Tielin to leave. He could only call a few disciples from the torture hall to carefully examine Zhang Qi's body.
"To report to the Hall Master, the wound was caused by a sword weapon."
"For the record, Hall Master, the sword used by the murderer has a blade thickness of two and three centimeters and a width of one and three centimeters."
"To report to the Hall Master, this sword should be forged with Millennium Cold Chalcedony as the main body and Lihuo Essence added..."
Several experienced execution hall disciples carefully inspected the wounds and reported a few words from time to time. When the last sentence was uttered, Li Shan's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly roared: "This is impossible!"
The punishment hall disciples were all startled and didn't understand why Li Shan was angry. Zhang Tielin on the side stared at Li Shan with bright eyes and asked slowly: "Elder Li, why is this?
Why is it impossible? Could it be that...Elder Li knows whose sword this murderous sword belongs to?"
When he said this, Li Shan's face was already very ugly, and Zhang Tielin's face was equally ugly. His relationship with Li Shan was not very good to begin with, because Li Shan was so selfless that he was difficult to get along with.
Even when facing him, the deputy sect leader, it was basically all business matters and he didn't even have a good face.
What's more, when Bai Feng and Zhang Qi competed, of course he also knew something about Bai Feng. Bai Feng was the one who used the sword.
"I seem to have heard that the sword used by the wise nephew Bai Feng, and that sword was made by Elder Li for you..." Zhang Tielin was already gritting his teeth when he said this. If the murderous sword is really
Belonging to Bai Feng, then, don’t think too much, it must be Bai Feng who killed Zhang Qi!
Thinking about it, Bai Feng and Zhang Qi competed for the first position in the outer sect, and the results were seen in this competition. But if Bai Feng was worried that he could not compete and secretly killed Zhang Qi before the competition,
This kind of thing is not necessarily impossible.
"Where is Bai Feng? Call him here!" Zhang Tielin roared, and all the nearby disciples fell to the ground, too scared to make any move.
Li Shan let out a long sigh. He now knew that regardless of whether it was Bai Feng's fault or not, Zhang Qi's wound was indeed caused by Bai Feng's sword. Because he found someone to make that sword, and he also
The condition of that sword is very clear.
"What? Does Elder Li want to cover up for the junior he likes?" Seeing that Li Shan didn't speak, Zhang Tielin sneered and said. This Li Shan has been known for being selfless and ruthless all his life. Could it be that when the incident happened to him?
Do you want to show favoritism when you have a thick junior?
However, Li Shan was indeed not such a person. He said coldly: "Come here, call Bai Feng and bring his ice glass sword!" After saying that, he turned to Zhang Tielin and said: "Deputy Sect Leader, if
If this matter is really done by Bai Feng, then he will definitely die and will be left to your disposal. But if it cannot be confirmed that it is him, Li will definitely do his best to protect him!"
This statement was very straightforward. If it was Bai Feng, Li Shan would have no problem with it. But if there was no direct evidence to prove that it was Bai Feng, Li Shan would not let Bai Feng be used by Zhang Tielin to vent his anger.
Zhang Tielin just smiled coldly and said: "Haha, let's see if Bai Feng really did such a thing and tried to hide it from everyone! But Elder Li, it's not Zhang who is bragging.
If I really want to kill Bai Feng, can you... protect him?"
The atmosphere was very low and depressing for a while. Everyone knew that these two people were in love. For a moment, everyone around them was silent.
