Inner Demons

Chapter 45: cause of death

Views:

The room became quiet again, except for the rapid and chaotic breathing of the two of them overlapping each other.

Mu Changting's turned face was firmly pressed against the brocade quilt, his brows were tightly frowned, the curve of his side face was cold and tense, full of an expression of refusal and disgust.

People's subconscious reactions are often the most real. Xing Yusheng froze, as if he had just woken up.

The jealous fire burned him completely out of his mind, almost making him forget that the illusion of harmony between them before has now broken. In fact, Mu Changting's hatred for him has never diminished over the years.

He was just trying to convince himself to forget, forget the past mixed with blood and hatred, forget the almost crazy love he saw Xing Yusheng for him, so between them, they can always live in peace at one moment, and at the next moment Suddenly being hit by reality, they easily quarreled endlessly.

The strength in his body seemed to be evacuated in an instant, Xing Yusheng slowly let go of Mu Changting, took two steps back staggeringly, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Of course I have my own selfishness in preventing you from visiting him. But Fu Xifeng is far from being a good person. Back then when you died suddenly, he was surrounded by half of the supporters of the Pure Heart Sect, and even got the full support of Qin Shuzhong. It only took a short year for him to win people's hearts and eliminate dissidents, and he has already secured this position. Foundation, contacts, how much effort he secretly put in during your reign to achieve this To what extent? You should think about it carefully."

Mu Changting was stunned. He took over the Qingxin sect back then, was supported by a prestigious precept elder, and was also the head disciple of the well-known sect. It took nearly three years to really secure this position.

If it is true what Xing Yusheng said, Fu Xifeng can gain the approval of the whole faction in such a short period of time, and firmly sit on the top spot. If it is said that he has long been interested in the position of leader, I am afraid that ghosts will not believe it.

Xing Yusheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and immediately reminded: "Have you checked the cause of your death yourself?"

Mu Changting sat up from the bed, slowly shaking his head in disbelief.

He grew up with Fu Xifeng as a child, and he believed that he understood Fu Xifeng, and that person's thoughts and plans had never been hidden from him. Fu Xifeng wanted to be the head of a faction, and his ambition and ability are enough to take this position, which is not difficult to understand, but if you want to say, Fu Xifeng put him to death cruelly in order to win this position, so what? possible

Mu Changting finally frowned and said, "This is just your speculation, there is no evidence at all."

Xing Yusheng really has no evidence. He has been investigating Mu Changting's death for many years, but the person who started him handled it neatly. He can only find a small amount of non-lethal toxin in Mu Changting's body. From the perspective of the two immortals, Mu Changting's death , mainly because he was defeated in the decisive battle with Demon Venerable Xing Yusheng, and he couldn't accept the result for a while.

But rumors are rumors after all, and no one knows better than the two of them involved.

Mu Changting didn't go crazy at all at the time, he seemed to be insane, lost his mind, and suddenly died of poison.

What induced him to become poisonous, and who did it

Xing Yusheng suspected Qin Shuzhong for a while, but he had no motive to kill, and Mu Changting did not take his elixir for a long time. Instead, Fu Xifeng, the beneficiary of the benefits, had the most reason to do so.

It's true that Fu Xifeng likes Mu Changting, but once this person becomes a stumbling block to his progress, it's hard to say whether he can keep his original intention and treat him the same.

Xing Yusheng has experienced all kinds of indifference in the world, and has never hesitated to speculate on the worst side of people.

After hearing what Xing Yusheng said, Mu Changting fell silent for a long time.

Transformed into another face, Xing Yusheng's icy aura of repelling people thousands of miles away was slightly reduced, and the warm candlelight even softened his eyebrows and eyes.

Mu Changting glanced at him, then looked away.

As a Demon Lord, Xing Yusheng now has few opponents. He could have lived a chic and free life, but these years he put all his energy on himself, a dead person. Today's matter, it's not good for him to get involved, but since he was reborn, Xing Yusheng has followed him every step of the way, for fear that something will happen to him and he will die.

All along, I have been harboring a grudge, sometimes hating him so much, and sometimes being frightened by what he has done.

Mu Changting's mood was extremely complicated. He took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and said, "Okay, I don't rule out the possibility you said. I promise you that I will act carefully in the future, but Ah Feng is seriously injured. , the people of the Qingxin Sect are in panic, I always have to go and see him to be at ease."

Xing Yusheng stared at him with deep eyes for a long while, then whispered: "I know you don't want me to follow, and you keep the magic talisman for self-defense, and if you have something, just transmit the sound to me."

He said that he would never stop him again, and Mu Changting was not polite, took the talisman paper he handed over and put it away.

Carrying the Longevity Sword, he turned around and walked to the door. The sight behind him was so hot that his back seemed to be on fire. Mu Changting's hand holding the gatekeeper slightly tightened, and he sighed: "What are you doing there? Why don't you leave?"

Xing Yusheng's eyes moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he moved to Mu Changting's side, bringing a cool breeze.

Although Xing Yusheng still looked calm on the surface, Mu Changting could vaguely sense that he should be extremely happy at the moment. Mu Changting was speechless for a moment, opened the door and walked out.

Instead of looking for Fu Xifeng, the first thing he did was to walk to the Yeying Palace where the precept elder was. Xing Yusheng glanced at him and didn't speak, just followed behind him silently.

If they want to enter the Yeying Palace to meet the elders in a dignified manner, they need to be notified layer by layer based on their current identities, it is too easy to startle the snake. But if you want to sneak in, it's not so easy. There is an enchantment in the Qingxin faction, and the invisibility talisman is of no use here.

Fortunately, the two of them had advanced cultivation, their movements were like lightning, they moved lightly with a few steps, and with a little deception, they quietly stood in front of the precept elder's room.

The Qingxin Sect was in chaos, but the strange thing was that the Yeying Palace was orderly, and the disciples went their own way without panicking at all.

According to the rumors, the elder who held the precepts had a bad relationship with Fu Xifeng, but now it seems that what he said was true.

Mu Changting signaled Xing Yusheng to wait outside, and he went into the room first.

The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Mu Changting walked in lightly. Just as he walked around the big vase in the room, a long sword approached with a calm and murderous aura. Mu Changting bent his head up and avoided it with ease.

But the man was not willing to give up, and came after him. Mu Changting had to fight with his sword, and the two swords burst into sparks in the night. Mu Changting wanted to give in, but didn't try his best. The man seemed to have noticed it, paused, and said in a low voice, "Who are you! Why did you trespass on Yeying Palace!"

The voice was full of momentum, but it was still recognizable as a woman. Mu Changting smiled: "Junior Sister Xu, I haven't seen you for many years, it doesn't matter if you forget me, you don't even know my Longevity Sword?"

Xu Biyun opened his eyes wide suddenly, flicked his sleeves, and the candles in the room lit up instantly.

The two faced each other silently, and Xu Biyun's eyes fell on the Longevity Sword in Mu Changting's hand. Everything can be fake, but the Longevity Sword recognizes the owner, and there is no fake. Xu Biyun was stunned, his eyes gradually turned red, he looked at Mu Changting in disbelief, and murmured: "Senior brother Mu, they...they said you came back from the dead, I don't believe it, I didn't expect..."

Mu Changting smiled wryly: "It's a long story, so don't mention it."

Xu Biyun nodded, and said hesitantly, "What you look like now..."

Mu Changting smiled, mobilized his spiritual power to dissipate the medicinal power of Yi Rong Pill on his body, golden light leaked from his body, and within a moment, his familiar face appeared in front of Xu Biyun.

Mu Changting smiled and said, "It's just a cover-up."

Xu Biyun also smiled, nodded, and said: "That's fine, the Pure Heart Sect is in a mess now, it's better not to show up in your original identity for the time being."

Mu Changting frowned, and said, "That's exactly what I want to ask you. What's the current situation of the Pure Heart Sect? Why did you appear in the elder's room?"

Xu Biyun shook his head and sighed: "Master, the old man doesn't like Senior Brother Fu, and he disagrees on many things, and usually leaves without saying a word. The relationship between the two of them has been even worse in the past two years. For some reason, after Master and Senior Brother Fu had an argument, he suddenly couldn't retreat, no matter what I said, he refused to come out again. Now, Yeying Palace is under my temporary management."

Mu Changting thought for a while and asked, "Can I go and see him?"

Xu Biyun shook his head and said, "I guess I won't see him. After he retreated, Senior Brother Fu invited him several times in person, but the Master didn't want to talk to him. Later, Senior Brother Fu sent someone to guard in front of the mountain gate. Earth binding technique, don't allow disciples to disturb the master's retreat."

Mu Changting's heart skipped a beat, and his brows were tightly frowned: "You also performed the earth binding technique?"

To put it simply, the ground binding technique is to draw the ground as a prison, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out easily.

This is not allowed to disturb, it is clear that he does not want him to come out again.

Xu Biyun smiled wryly: "Yes, there is nothing unusual about this. Senior Brother Fu and Master are tired of looking at each other. If they keep arguing like this, sooner or later they will tear their skins apart. It would be a good thing to avoid them."

Even though she said that, judging from Yeying Palace's attitude of not responding at all when Fu Xifeng had an accident, the disciples of Yeying Palace's sect probably had a lot of resentment towards Fu Xifeng.

Mu Changting didn't say anything, and chatted a few more about the situation of the Qingxin faction. Xu Biyun seemed to want to find out his intention of coming back this time, but Mu Changting avoided answering, she smiled and stopped asking.

Before leaving, Xu Biyun sent him to the door, and reminded him tactfully: "In addition to taking good care of Gu Zilan, Senior Brother Fu also treated Ming Li well. He has a lot of advice about his practice. This kid is good, he is very responsible for a big brother, and he always misses you."

Mu Changting smiled and just said, "Thank you."

The bright moon hangs high, under the ancient tree in front of the door, the man stands with his hands behind his back, his figure is tall and straight, and his demeanor is even better than before.

Hearing the sound of the two talking, he turned slightly sideways and focused his eyes on Mu Changting.

Xu Biyun's forward steps suddenly stopped, his voice trembling: "He...he is..."
