Hearing the words of the guard leader, An Changsheng frowned again and said, "Don't you have any clues about this? Didn't your guards on patrol notice anything unusual that night?"
Hearing An Changsheng's words, the guard leader shook his head and said, "Before you left, sir, you told us not to patrol your area, so we have very few people arranged. There is only one routine patrol in the morning, and we come back to check if there is anything unusual.
We thought you were not in the pavilion, so... we were a little careless and did not put too much effort into patrolling this area.
That night, the guards on duty did not notice anything unusual, and everything seemed normal. It was only during the routine inspection of the area in the morning that the body of Deacon Shi Yusheng was discovered. "
An Changsheng's face looked a little ugly. Ye Li asked him to take care of Mei Ruoxiang, but now Mei Ruoxiang disappeared directly in Danyun Pavilion, and his most trusted subordinate was killed.
An Changsheng was silent for a while. After a long while, he raised his hand and waved to the guards, saying, "You guys go out first!"
After hearing An Changsheng's words, all the guards hurriedly took their leave, leaving only Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi and the others.
"Ye Li, I'm so sorry. You asked me to help you take care of Mei Ruoxiang, but now I've lost her."
An Changsheng showed an apologetic look on his face.
Ye Li waved his hands and said, "Uncle An, this is definitely not your fault. Obviously, the situation has exceeded your expectations.
The most important thing now is that we need to figure out what happened and how Senior Mei disappeared."
An Changsheng looked at Ye Li and said, “Shi Yusheng has the cultivation base of the Divine Spirit Stage and is very experienced in the martial arts world. Unless it is a Divine Dao Stage expert like you whose physical cultivation base and realm are similar, it is difficult for someone to sneak attack him without using the Spiritual Yuan Talisman.
After all, it is difficult to sneak behind him without being discovered by him, and the release of spells and spiritual energy will definitely alert the nearby patrols."
After hearing what An Changsheng said, Ye Li said, "Uncle An, do you mean that the person who attacked Deacon Shi Yusheng should be a master whose physical strength has reached the Divine Dao Stage?"
An Changsheng looked serious and said, "It is possible, but it is only a possibility.
In fact, there is another possibility, that is, the person who attacked Shi Yusheng was someone he was very familiar with, so he was able to attack him from behind when he was off guard and kill him. "
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, and said, "If someone he is very familiar with attacked him, then it means that there is a high possibility that there is a traitor in Danyun Pavilion!!!"
An Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I thought.
Why would a master like you come to my Danyun Pavilion to cause trouble? How could he notice Shi Yusheng's existence and find this secret room
In my opinion, someone in Danyun Pavilion must have noticed that Shi Yusheng was taking care of Mei Ruoxiang for me.
This person may have taken advantage of Shi Yusheng's familiarity with him, which allowed him to easily approach him from behind and attack him by surprise.
Finally, he found Mei Ruoxiang and took her away from here."
As An Changsheng spoke, his brows were already furrowed.
He suddenly turned around and walked outside, waved to the guard leader standing outside, and asked, "Has there been any unusual incidents in the sect recently? Has anyone suddenly disappeared after this incident?"
Hearing An Changsheng's words, the guard leader was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said, "It seems that Elder Qu suddenly left Danyun Pavilion these two days and has not appeared for two days."
An Changsheng's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he said, "Qu Qingfeng suddenly left these two days!?"
The guard leader nodded and said, "It seems to be true. It is said that he did not tell his subordinates anything and suddenly left Danyun Pavilion. No one knows where he went."
An Changsheng's expression turned ugly, and he said to Ye Li: "Qu Qingfeng has been with me for many years, and he has always had a good relationship with Shi Yusheng, but I don't like Qu Qingfeng very much.
This guy looks very mysterious every day, and even I don’t know much about him.
And I always thought it was a little strange that he was so close to Shi Yusheng. Now I think he was always a little sneaky in Danyun Pavilion."
Ye Li asked: "Could it be that he attacked Deacon Shi Yusheng?"
An Changsheng was silent for a while after hearing this, and said, "If this guy really left suddenly and would not come back, then the person who attacked Shi Yusheng must be him.
Shi Yusheng would definitely not be prepared for his sneak attack, and this guy's talisman is a huge hollow cone.
If he had not activated the talisman, but only used the talisman's body to attack Shi Yusheng, he could have left the kind of wound they described on Shi Yusheng's body."
Hearing An Changsheng's words, the guard leader was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "By the way, Pavilion Master, I remembered one thing. A few days ago, I saw Elder Qu seemed to be wandering around here often.
A guard asked Elder Qu before, and he said he wanted to find you, so he came to see if you had returned. "
After hearing the guard's words, An Changsheng's expression became more serious.
"Where is Shi Yusheng's body? Take me to see it!!!"
An Changsheng spoke up.
The leader of the guards nodded quickly, then took Shi Yusheng to a room behind Danyun Pavilion.
Soon, a group of people came into the house, and a tall corpse was lying on the wooden bed in the middle of the room.
An Changsheng looked at Shi Yusheng's body and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
“Shi Yusheng is the alchemist I saved from the clutches of a demon beast many years ago. He didn’t know my identity at the time, but in order to repay me for saving his life, he has been following me.
Later, after I taught him some alchemy techniques and he knew my identity, he treated me as a teacher.
But I never accepted him as my apprentice, I just regarded him as an old friend.
I never expected that I just wanted to ask him to do me a favor, but I ended up hurting him!!!"
An Changsheng had experienced too many life and death situations in his life and was already accustomed to it. However, when he saw Shi Yusheng's body, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red and his voice trembled.
Mu Tianzhi hurriedly stepped forward and supported his master's arm, then looked at Shi Yusheng and said, "Master, let me check Uncle Shi's body for you!"
An Changsheng took a deep breath, then shook his head and said, "No, I want to do this myself.
I want to see the wounds on his body with my own eyes, so that I can know clearly whether it was Qu Qingfeng who killed him!!!"
