Chu Ge was leaning on the railing, his narrow eyes exuding a lazy look. He seemed to be one of those peerless masters in the world who were tired of worldly disputes and retreated to this small inn.
And there happens to be a beautiful woman beside me.
The luckiest thing in life is nothing more than this.
"Senior Brother Chu has no intention of hypnosis tonight?" The beauty gently moved a strand of hair from her forehead, which looked even more soft and charming in the moonlight. Her red lips parted lightly, and her beautiful eyes looked at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge nodded slightly.
The two chatted, from the great emperors in ancient times to the proud ones today, and they felt like they were mutual confidants. Before they knew it, it was already midnight, the dew was cold and heavy, and Zhen Jin seemed tired.
Chu Ge said apologetically: "Junior sister, you should go back to your room and rest."
"Then see you tomorrow."
Zhen Jin did not refuse, nodded slightly, and left.
The jasmine-like body fragrance lingered around him, and Chu Ge frowned slightly, as if there was a smell of blood coming from a distance, but Chu Ge spread his spiritual consciousness all over the inn, but did not notice anything unusual.
"Maybe I'm worrying too much."
Chu Ge thought to himself that Moon Worshiping City has been plagued by beasts for a long time, and it is normal for the smell of blood in the city late at night.
Shaking his head, Chu Ge also went back to his room to rest.
The bright moon hanging in the void seemed to be slowly stained with a little blood red, like a drop of bright scarlet blood, suddenly dripping onto the smooth silver plate.
Full of weirdness.
But that smell of blood does not come from the blood moon.
Returning to the room, Chu Ge immediately threw himself into practicing.
Zuo Qiuming sent 300 Guiyuan Pills, and Chu Ge accepted them unceremoniously. He was not stupid. A life-and-death battle was imminent, and Chu Ge must do whatever it took to increase his strength.
These three hundred Return to Yuan Pills were undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Chu Ge. If Zuo Qiuming had not promised to give Chu Ge three hundred Return to Yuan Pills first, Chu Ge would definitely not have agreed to fight to the death.
"Zuo Qiuming has been in the other shore realm for a year, and the immortal energy in his body is at the fourth level at its weakest!" In the dark night, Chu Ge's deep eyes shot out a ray of light, "With my current cultivation level in the Shenqiao realm,
, Xianyuan, who is in the third realm, is undoubtedly asking for trouble against Zuo Qiuming!"
"But, I still have three months!"
Three months is enough to surpass him!
Chu Ge’s fighting spirit is high!
The next day.
Chu Ge opened the door, and Shu Nan brought Chu Ge some unfortunate news with a heavy look on his face.
Sheng Yilun is dead.
died in his own room.
"How is that possible?!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge's first reaction was that it was impossible.
It's so strange.
So weird.
They had just arrived at Moon Worship City for just one night. They were unfamiliar with the place and had no grudges. How could Sheng Yilun die mysteriously?
With doubts and confusion, Chu Ge followed Shu Nan to Sheng Yilun's room. Zhen Jin and Shi Yu were already waiting there. They looked at Sheng Yilun's body with grief on their faces.
Chu Ge squatted down slightly and quietly observed Sheng Yilun's body.
Sheng Yilun's body had only one fatal wound, and his throat was sealed with a sword!
A very sharp and swift sword.
But it is much inferior to Chu Ge's sword.
It's not that Chu Ge is boasting, but it's the fact that Chu Ge found some residual sword energy in Sheng Yilun's sword mark.
A real quick sword, when the sword comes out, the person dies.
But if Chu Ge wanted to seal his throat with one sword and kill Sheng Yilun, it would be a bit difficult.
Chu Ge's eyes flickered. Who on earth broke into Sheng Yilun's room, leaving him with no chance to resist?
"Looking at the wound, he should have died last night." Chu Ge said, and he suddenly remembered the smell of blood he smelled last night.
last night?
Shu Nan and the others changed color slightly.
"Actually, this is not the first time that Sheng Yilun has come to Moon Worship City. He had performed a mission here as early as half a year ago. I guess that he had a grudge with others at that time." Shu Nan sighed, "
Alas, now Sheng Yilun is dead, leaving no evidence, and we don’t even know who the murderer is."
Shi Yu snorted coldly and said angrily: "Why have I never heard Sheng Yilun talk about this matter?"
Shu Nan said in a deep voice: "You have to ask him about this."
"He is already dead." Shi Yu said.
"So you should believe me." Shu Nan looked at Zhen Jin again, "Does Junior Sister also know about this?"
Shi Yu looked at Zhen Jin.
Zhen Jin seemed to be in grief and choked up and said: "Senior Brother Sheng mentioned it before."
Shi Yu had nothing to say, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Shu Nan: "I have searched it, and the picture controlled by Sheng Yilun is gone."
picture?
Chu Ge was slightly startled and looked at the three of them with a somewhat thoughtful expression. He realized that he seemed to have accidentally broken into a somewhat mysterious small group.
Obviously, the relationship between the four of them is not as simple as it seems.
Shu Nan cautiously glanced at Chu Ge, who was still squatting on the ground observing Sheng Yilun's body, then looked at Shi Yu and shouted softly: "Shi Yu, what do you mean, you suspect that I am the murderer?"
Zhen Jin's beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
Shi Yu sneered: "It's not impossible."
Shu Nan's expression was slightly stiff, and he looked at Shi Yu. Both of them had strangely tough attitudes, refusing to give in to each other. Where their eyes met, there seemed to be fire.
Zhen Jin remained eerily silent.
Suddenly, a tense atmosphere gathered.
A slight cough broke everyone's stalemate.
Chu Ge stood up and said to the three of them: "Sheng Yilun is dead. What we have to do now is go to the city lord's palace and report this matter."
Although the Nanshan Sword Sect has many disciples, they can never sit back and watch their disciples die without reason.
Chu Ge learned that due to certain historical factors, Nanshan Sword Sect’s disciples were prohibited from killing each other!
Therefore, the matter of Sheng Yilun's death can be either big or small.
"Hmph!" Shi Yu snorted, knocked Shu Nan's body away, and left.
"Senior Brother Chu, let's go together." Zhen Jin seemed to be afraid of being alone, so she said to Chu Ge. Her eyes subconsciously glanced at Shu Nan, as if she was worried.
Shu Nan looked at Zhen Jin deeply, then turned and left.
Having a clear view of the expressions of several people, Chu Ge was even more confused.
"Was Sheng Yilun killed by Shu Nan or someone else?" Chu Ge was puzzled. Judging from the current situation, Shu Nan had the greatest possibility of killing Sheng Yilun.
Shi Yu is also possible
Chu Ge excluded Zhen Jin. They talked very late last night, and as soon as Zhen Jin walked away, Chu Ge smelled the smell of blood. It was obvious that Zhen Jin could not do it.
But everything is just speculation and there is no evidence. Maybe Chu Ge is overthinking.
"Senior Brother Chu, tell me, do people change?"
After the city lord's palace reported Sheng Yilun's death, Zhen Jin seemed to be touched.
Chu Ge thought for a moment and said with certainty: "Yes."
Nothing is eternal.
Especially the human heart.
Zhen Jin became more and more silent. After a long time, she seemed to have summoned up her courage and said solemnly to Chu Ge: "Senior Brother Chu, if I die, please leave Moon Worshiping City and return to Nanshan Sword Sect!"
"Whoever among the four of us returns to the Nanshan Sword Sect in the end, you have to be careful!"
