The three of them fled back to Taisu Mountain in shock. Fortunately, the assassin did not show up to chase them. Otherwise, they would have left only one or two people in the wilderness today, unable to escape intact.
A dark shadow appeared under the shade of the tree, giving orders in a high-pitched voice.
"The master said that you should guard the sect and do not need to go anywhere for the time being. Today's assassination should be reported to all the forces in the city and should be widely publicized."
The three of them recognized that the dark figure was the second-level ghost that the young master kept as a guard, and they all raised their hands and said, "Yes, I accept the order!"
They were not surprised that the young master knew what was going on in advance.
Maybe the young master pretended to have something to do and didn't go out, so he got a warning from the guards in the dark?
On Qianfeng Mountain, President Yu Chenshou looked a little unhappy after receiving the summons. He immediately suspected that the fox-faced old man with a criminal record was behind the assassination.
He was quite angry deep down.
It's too much. Do you have to provoke the forces behind Master Chen and cause a bloodbath before you give up?
After thinking about it, he sent a summons to Taoist Jian Yan and other three human elders, asking them to go check out the assassination scene fifty miles away from the city, hoping to find some useful clues.
Qianfeng City’s fifty-year hearing meeting and market are about to be held. Many fourth-level masters from Fufeng Continent have been invited to arrive, as well as fourth-level monks from other continents. It is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and when nothing can go wrong, something unexpected happens.
Something like this happened.
The voice of the fox-faced old man came from outside the side hall: "President Yu, Bai Li wants to see you."
"Elder Bai Li, please come in."
Yu Chenshou didn't expect the fox-faced old man to arrive so quickly. He was still thinking about inviting Bai Li to come and ask questions.
"President Yu, I misunderstood. This assassination outside the city really had nothing to do with me."
Walking in, the old man with a fox face looked sad and aggrieved.
When he got the news earlier, he had just curled up a smile of schadenfreude, and suddenly realized that he was trying to trick him. Everyone knew that he and Master Chen didn't deal with each other, and the fourth-order wolf demon Xi Gu he invited
, just because the beautiful snake who assassinated Shanzhu Chen in the city is now being imprisoned for one hundred years.
He was so humiliated and threatened by masters of the Wolf Demon Clan that even Yousu Shan outside the city did not dare to live there anymore.
He didn't want to provoke that little guy with domineering methods and rich background.
It's very boring. He has done his best and the other elders have to complain.
Yu Chenshou stared at the anxious old man with a fox face and asked slowly: "Then do you know who did it?"
"I heard that the assassin was a fourth-level sword cultivator, but I don't know if it was a demon cultivator or a human cultivator. In recent days, there are not many fourth-level sword cultivators coming and going from Qianfeng City, and they can all be considered suspicious."
The fox-faced old man lost his usual calmness and said anxiously.
"Please, Elder Bai Li, please check the movements of all suspected fourth-level sword cultivators and clear away your grievances."
Yu Chenshou arranged a job for the fox-faced old man without any excuses.
"President Yu, I tried my best to investigate the case and try to find the assassin as soon as possible, but this time it was really not me who did it. Please explain this to Master Chen, so that he will not act impulsively and embarrass the imprisoned Xi Gu.
Brother, those guys from the Wolf Demon Tribe don’t have very good tempers.”
The fox-faced old man had to humble himself.
Yu Chenshou nodded and agreed: "I'll ask fellow Taoist Jian Yan to make a trip to Taisu Mountain to buy you three days."
He would not let go of the old fox who had repeatedly opposed him so easily.
The fox-faced old man was so upset that he lost his temper and said, "Please, President Yu." He hurried out and summoned several demon clan elders, asking them to lend a helping hand to help him get through this trouble.
He had to find the guy who made him take the blame.
Too abominable.
Qingfeng Ridge, on Tingfeng Rock.
Until late at night and the moon was setting, Xu'er let go of her arms and said with a smile: "I still have one bowl of wine to drink today. Let's go back without delaying your subsequent practice."
Chen Mou stood up and asked, knowingly: "Is everything okay?"
He was very curious about Xu'er's ability to predict the danger he would encounter.
Xu'er laughed and said, "You are a lucky person, so what can happen to you? Even if you encounter trouble, you can turn it into good luck."
She picked up all the nice things to say, and her little mouth felt like it was covered with honey.
Chen Mou rubbed the maid's head and praised him. Watching Xu'er walk into the bedroom, he went straight to the quiet room. When he appeared again, he was in the Hexagonal Pavilion on the small island. He almost encountered an assassination and told Lao Yuan
One word.
Yuan Hou was very interested and asked: "You mean that Xu'er noticed that you were in danger three times. Please tell me carefully about the first two times."
Chen Mou recalled Xu'er's reactions on those two occasions.
Yuan Hou pretended to calculate with his fingers for a while and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Xu'er has the rare talent of 'mind communication'. She has tied her heart to you. As her cultivation level increases, she can predict in advance that you will be in danger.
It is a profound and mysterious innate magical power."
Another pointer: "With such a talent, if you learn derivation and arithmetic, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Chen Mou grinned and said, "She doesn't like reading and writing. It would be too difficult for her to learn complicated deduction techniques."
"Just let it go. Even if she doesn't learn deduction and arithmetic, with the help of her spiritual power, she will be able to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune in the future. She can go almost anywhere. You're a lucky boy."
Yuan Hou was almost beyond recognition with jealousy. Why couldn't he encounter such good things?
Chen Mou stood up with a smile and said, "Thanks to your auspicious words, I will leave first. Someone is looking for me."
Yuan Hou waved his hand and watched Chen Mou disappear. He also stood up and walked into the mist towards the other side of the lake.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Knowing that there is a huge force behind Chen Mou, but still using assassination methods to stir up conflicts and stir up trouble, there must be something fishy in it.
He had to discuss something with the chief priest. Otherwise, he could watch Chen Mou trapped in Taisu Mountain, unable to go anywhere, and in danger of being attacked by a fourth-level sneak attack at any time. Wouldn't it lose the meaning of training for rapid growth?
Chen Mou walked out of the secret room in the back hall, signaled to Shen Xing not to be too polite, and asked Haosheng to make arrangements for the funeral arrangements of the pretended disciple, and distribute the pension to his family members, and asked: "Is it just Taoist Master Jian Yan?"
"There are also two subordinates of Taoist Master Jian Yan."
"Let's go, we can't keep our guests waiting."
As he spoke, Chen Mou quickly walked into the main hall, bowed his hands to Taoist Jian Yan, and greeted the two Jindan monks. He greeted the guests and invited them to sit down.
Taoist Master Jian Yan explained his intentions and said that President Yu would only give three days to allow Elder Bai Li to clear away the suspicion, find out who did it, and give an explanation to Master Chen.
Chen Mou couldn't hear Jian Yandao's plea for mercy. President Yu didn't want trouble in Qianfeng City, and was worried that Taisu Mountain would be angry and retaliate, so he hung the remains of a huge wolf demon on a tree trunk.
"Judging from the assassin's sword energy and sword style, there is an 80% chance that he is a human Nascent Soul sword cultivator. You can pay more attention to this aspect, and you may be able to find the assassin's specific whereabouts as soon as possible."
"Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator...Okay, I will send a message to President Yu right now."
Taoist priest Jian Yan confessed his crime and went out to send this important information out via subpoena. He had already seen the assassination scene. Except for the fresh body fragments, they did not find any useful aura or clues left by the sword cultivator, not even the broken sword aura.
It has also disappeared.
If the leader of a small sect was assassinated, there would be no need for so many of their elders to spend so much time and effort.
It's not just because of Chen Shanzhu's different status that one move can affect his whole body.
We dare not let Qianfeng City turn into a battlefield where big forces compete.
