"Let's go check out other places." After saying that, the three of them split up and started searching nearby. Because Hutou Mountain was there but everyone else was there, only the village chief was missing. Several people hoped that he was still alive so that they could investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the forces below who were working for Wangping Pavilion.
Following the pursuit all the way, the man soon arrived at the final crime scene. He felt that the fluctuation of spiritual power here did not last long and then calmed down, but the aura lingered in the same place for a long time without dissipating.
"It looks like this is the final scene of the incident." The man then stood in the air, looked down and saw a headless corpse.
Seeing this, the man's pupils shrank slightly and he went straight to the corpse.
When the man found the body, he was sure that this was the leader of Hutou Village. However, the reason for his disappointment shocked him. He was an eighth-grade Tongxuan realm, but he was killed in one blow. It seemed that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. He was at least a master of Guixuan realm, and his cultivation was even more powerful.
Thinking of this, the man called the two old men who were out looking for him. When the two men saw this place, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Then the white-haired old man said, "It seems that things are not as simple as we thought. It seems that these guys have provoked the wrong people, right?"
The man and the other old man nodded in agreement, and then the man pondered and said, "We cannot report the situation to the Pavilion Master yet. The most urgent task now is to find the murderer who killed Hutou Mountain Village and bring him back. Only then can we complete the mission."
"But the world is so big, where can we find it?"
At this time, the man curled his lips and smiled, and a small white snake less than a finger thick appeared in his hand. When it came into contact with the outside air, its originally white skin turned purple-black. The tiny pupils also released a stream of cold air.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Seeing this, the two old men were very surprised.
The man stroked the little snake and said with a smile: "This is my life. I spent almost all my money to buy it, hoping that it will be useful someday. Now is the right time to open it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little snake slowly poked its head out, and after spitting out its tongue for a long time, it headed down into a deep place.
Seeing this, the man smiled, and then said to the two old men beside him: "Let's go, it's just in the direction ahead." After he finished speaking, the three of them followed the little snake's instructions all the way and finally arrived at the Martial Arts Academy.
"I didn't expect the beast to hide here. It looks like things are a little complicated." The old man looked at the man and said, "We'll leave one person to guard it. When it comes out, we'll pass the news to Wangping Pavilion. Then we'll send someone to capture it in one fell swoop. How about that?" The man felt that what the old man said was right, and then he said, "I'll stay here with my snake. I'll tell you when I find the murderer!"
The two old men nodded and turned to leave.
After watching the old man leave, the man turned around and looked towards the martial arts academy not far away, with a smile on his face.
At the same time, after Long Xiangtian returned to the academy, he closed the door tightly and did not go in or out until the next day. Then Long Xiangtian went out, and the first place he wanted to go was the disciple he had defeated.
At this time, the disciple was resting in his room. After being defeated by Long Xiangtian in one move, he had been in a slump ever since. If it weren't for the fact that he participated in the disciples' competitions every time and his ranking would not be low every time, the elders would have turned a blind eye to his condition.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. He frowned and asked the person outside, "Who is it?" At this time, Long Xiangtian's voice came from outside the door: "It's me~"
When he heard Long Xiangtian's voice, his face changed drastically, and he quickly stood up and opened the door. He saw that it was indeed Long Xiangtian, who was staring at him with a sneer on his face, which made him nervous. He then stuttered and asked, "What do you have to say?" Hearing this, Long Xiangtian entered his house without his permission. Seeing this, he did not say much, but acquiesced.
Walking into the room, Long Xiangtian said to the man, "The weather is so nice today, why are you staying in the room?" Hearing Long Xiangtian's words, the man looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to go against Long Xiangtian, so he replied, "I'm just a little bored, so I stayed in the house to rest. I don't know~what do you want to do here?"
Hearing that this person was involved in the main topic, Long Xiangtian turned around and looked at this person and said, "Yesterday, I left the academy and originally planned to go to the nearby new city, but someone secretly played a trick on me and changed the location of the blueprint in my hand, causing me to encounter some unpleasant things! ~"
Having said this, Long Xiangtian did not continue speaking, but looked directly at this guy.
After hearing Long Xiangtian's words, the man turned pale and waved his hands, saying in a trembling voice: "I never thought of harming you! And this thing is not given to you by me! ~"
Seeing this guy so nervous, Long Xiangtian wanted to laugh, but he still had to get down to business, so he said to him: "From your appearance, I know it's not you. Then do you know who it is?"
The man shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. Then Long Xiangtian asked, "What's your name?"
"Yuan Jue." After hearing this, Long Xiangtian nodded and said to Yuan Jue: "From now on, you have to do me a favor. Of course, this is not without conditions. After this matter is done, I will naturally give you a favor. Whatever you want, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
Hearing this, Yuan Jue's eyes lit up, then he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, that's no problem~" Seeing that he agreed without hesitation, he thought that he wanted to take advantage of him.
After laughing, Long Xiangtian said: "Investigate all the people who have come into contact with me in the past few days. This is for you. It contains the people who have come into contact with me during this period. After investigating these people, report to me! ~"
After Yuan Ju nodded, Long Xiangtian turned around and left. Yuan Ju then set off and started to take action.
After leaving Yuan Jue's room, Long Xiangtian came to the villa where the dean was sitting.
He was also in a good mood, but he didn't know what to say when he went in, so for a while Long Xiangtian stood there and began to ponder. In fact, he came here just to get a place to go to the Wangdan Sect ruins. As for those so-called competitions, Long Xiangtian knew that they were all just an act, and the final decision on the quota would depend on the dean and these elders.
