"It seems that Master Huang is ready to pretend to be stupid to the end?" Lord Zhan said with raised eyebrows.
Huang Yueli had no choice but to continue to pretend to be confused, "Pretending to be stupid? Why am I pretending to be stupid? I dare to swear to God, when I came to Tianyifeng sixteen years ago, I did wear Tianhuang Jue on my body. After self-destruction, I will be a dead person, what else can I know!"
Hearing this, Master Zhan glanced at her coldly and said slowly: "Okay, since you insist on pretending to be stupid, I will make it clear to you! I also know Master Huang's temper. The coffin won’t shed tears!”
He took a sip of tea and continued: "After Master Huang self-destructed on Tianyi Peak, I also searched in the snow for a long time, but could not find any trace of Tianhuang Jue. After thinking about it at that time, I felt that there were only two possibilities. One is that Master Mu went on a killing spree and took away Tianhuang Jue, and the other is that Master Huang didn't bring Tianhuang Jue at all."
"I'm not sure which conjecture is more in line with the facts, so I can only use a two-pronged approach and inquire about both."
"Shortly after the incident, Sect Master Mu chose to use secret methods to recall Master Huang's soul, and at the same time, announced the retreat to the outside world. Sect Master Mu also said that I bribed many Cangxuan Sword Sect disciples afterwards, hoping that they would go to the Floating Sword Sect. Gong inquired about the whereabouts of Tianhuang Jue. Later, various signs showed that Sect Master Mu did not have Tian Huang Jue in his hands. Moreover, Sect Master Mu should have used the secret method with the determination to die at that time, so he should not have paid attention to any artifacts. I should be overthinking this."
Li Moying frowned and said nothing.
What Lord Zhan said here is not wrong. When he arrived at the Far North Icefield, he saw Huang Yueli blowing himself up in front of him. He suddenly fell into a state of madness. He only focused on killing people with his sword and avenging Huang Yueli. Where do you have time to think about artifacts
Until he went into "retreat", he didn't even remember that there was such a thing as Tianhuang Jue!
It wasn't until he met the little fox again in this life and restored his memory that he knew the whereabouts of Tian Huangjue...
Lord Zhan continued his analysis without hesitation: "The other possibility is that Master Huang did not take Tian Huang Jue to the far north. If so, where would Master Huang leave Tian Huang Jue? What? Such an extremely precious treasure can only be given to the most trusted person."
"The person Master Huang trusts the most is naturally Sect Master Mu, but when she set out to the far north ice field, Sect Master Mu had been in seclusion for a while, and she had no chance to hand over the artifact to Sect Master Mu."
"Of course, she might have left the artifact in her own sect, Lihuo Palace, or in Lingxian Sect, which she had the best relationship with at the time. However, I know that the other party did not get Tianhuang Jue."
Hearing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Huang Yueli's lips.
Master Zhan's words prove from the side that he, Chi Xiaojiu and Ling Qingyu really colluded sixteen years ago!
Although he had known that the truth was like this, Huang Yueli's heart was still cold when it was confirmed by the person involved.
This was... the senior brother and best friend she had been extremely close to and trusted so much!
However, before she could react, Lord Zhan continued: "So, I guess that the only place left where you can possibly store Tianhuang Jue is the Artillery Masters Guild!"
Hearing this, Huang Yueli's pupils shrank!
