In West Qinling Mountains, under Xiao Rumo's order, all the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect gathered in a group to sense the gaze of the Snake Worship Cult. Then, many elders of Xiaoyao Sect who came with them stood in the center of the group of disciples, looking up and down at a handsome young man with a confused expression.
Chen Changzhuan is one of the thirteen true disciples of Xiaoyao Sect.
Xiaoyao Sect has a total of thirteen martial arts that are famous in the world. The thirteen preaching peaks in the Xiaoyao Sect have inherited these thirteen martial arts respectively. The leaders of each generation were selected from the true disciples of these thirteen preaching peaks. The Jianghu Sword Master Xiao Rumo is the master of the Tianjian Peak of the Xiaoyao Sect.
As for Chen Changzhuan, he is a true disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect's Zizai Peak.
But right now.
However, this true disciple is being questioned.
One by one, the disciples from Zizai Peak came in front of Chen Changzhuan under Xiao Rumo's instructions. Some were new junior brothers from Zizai Peak, some were female disciples who looked apologetic, and even the elders of Zizai Peak came out in person and asked Chen Changzhuan all sorts of questions.
Junior Brother: "Brother, do you still remember me? It was you who brought me to Zizai Peak!"
"... Sorry, disciple, I bring disciples to the peak every year, how can I remember everyone..."
Apologetic-looking female disciple: "Brother! I am your old lover! Have you forgotten?"
"Monster! Don't come over here!"
Elder of Zizai Peak: "Chang Zhuan, I am your uncle, are you okay?"
"Master, has your Alzheimer's finally broken out?"
... ... .In summary.
One by one, Chen Changzhuan's disciples came forward to chat with Chen Changzhuan, either talking nonsense or telling the truth. There was actually only one purpose for doing so: that was to test Chen Changzhuan in front of them and see whether the other party was the real Chen Changzhuan or an outsider who was good at disguise.
This went on for quite a while.
The disciples and elders who went to inquire came to the conclusion.
"... Indeed, it is Chang Zhuan. His memory is fine and he was able to answer some personal questions."
"There is no sign of disguise either."
"If this is all done by disguise, then the disguiser must be a famous master in the martial arts world, and such a person would not offend my Xiaoyao Sect."
"It should be fine."
After getting everyone's responses, Xiao Rumo didn't feel relieved. Instead, his brows frowned even deeper.
"... .no problem?"
“No problem is the biggest problem.”
Xiao Rumo waved his hand to isolate Chen Changzhuan, and then sent a message to several trusted elders: "This incident is so strange, the mastermind behind the scenes is so hidden, but in the end, one of the disciples managed to escape by luck? If I were the one who was secretly calculating, I would never let this accident happen."
"There is definitely something wrong with this Chen Changzhuan!"
"this... .."
Several elders looked at each other, not because they didn't believe Xiao Rumo, but... .
"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do. We can't attack him, right? What if it's true?"
"And he is indeed proficient in the Free and Easy Method of Zizai Peak."
"Martial arts can be imitated, but they cannot be trusted."
"Then... what suggestions does the Sword Master have?"
"... .Give me this Chen Changzhuan."
Xiao Rumo sneered. A person's face can be changed, martial arts can be imitated, and even living habits can be faked. But no matter what, if he imprisoned this suspicious disciple, after a long time, he would not be able to achieve his goal and he would naturally be exposed.
Even if I really wronged Chen Changzhuan.
That's not a big problem.
At worst, we can release him after we catch the mastermind behind this. As for the wrongful accusation of a disciple... Please, what's wrong with my invincible sword master wrongly accusing a true disciple
It's no big deal.
After making the decision, Xiao Rumo removed the barrier surrounding Chen Changzhuan, and then said: "Chen Changzhuan, you should follow me from now on. This incident is serious, and I need to focus on understanding what happened. Come with me to Tianjian Peak, you don't need to go to Zizai Peak."
"Eh? Yes!"
Who is Xiao Rumo? Even if Chen Changzhuan is a true disciple, he is still a far cry from this legendary figure. Now that he is actually "valued" by the Jianghu Sword Master, Chen Changzhuan is naturally overjoyed and nods quickly, with a look of blessing in disguise on his face.
... ..seems fine.
But Xiao Rumo didn't care. No matter if there was a problem or not, as long as he stayed by her side, she wouldn't be afraid that he would cause any trouble.
About half a day passed.
After thoroughly investigating the battlefield and collecting and cremating the bodies of their dead disciples, Xiaoyao Sect and the Snake Worshiping Sect chose to leave at the same time. The Snake Worshiping Sect naturally gained nothing, while Chen Changzhuan from the Xiaoyao Sect was very well protected and was never seen by the Snake Worshiping Sect members.
The Snake Worship Cult is actually interested in investigating the Free and Easy Sect's discovery.
But unfortunately, with Xiao Rumo in charge, the two sides were on the verge of a fight for a while, and finally the Snake Cult gave up.
And on the way back.
Xiao Rumo looked at the West Qinling Mountains not far away, his mood still very heavy. The mastermind behind this incident acted very cautiously, but the process made him feel a little strange.
First, the cause of Li Changfeng’s death.
The second is Mo Xinling’s condition.
It's actually nothing that Li Changfeng fell into the evil path, and the Xiaoyao Sect itself is not clean either, but the problem is that there are still doubts about the cause of death of both parties.
Xiao Rumo's cultivation level is at the top level in the martial arts world, and can be said to be at the pinnacle of the Tao. With his keen eyesight, even if there is only a corpse, he can judge the corpse's strength before it was alive. In his opinion, after Li Changfeng became a demon, his combat power should be greater than Mo Xinling's.
Even if Mo Xinling used the forbidden technique of the Snake Worship Cult, it was not enough.
Xiao Rumo also knew Li Changfeng's character. He was unlikely to give Mo Xinling a chance. The probability of both of them dying together was not high. Based on this, there was no reason for Li Changfeng to die in battle. Even his head was cut off, and there were a lot of unknown metal objects in his body... .
The most important thing.
"Li Changfeng's head is missing."
"Taken away?"
"Why?"
“What is there in this that I don’t know?”
Xiao Rumo walked at the front of the team, constantly thinking in his mind. In fact, he did have some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.
"In addition to the place where Li Changfeng and Mo Xinling died, we also found two other battlefields. One was also covered with traces of the battle between the two. The other was the ruins of a cave with the breath of a snake demon. In addition, there were traces of explosions similar to thunder bombs..."
Xiao Rumo’s judgment on this is: the fourth person!
In addition to Xiaoyao Sect, the Snake Worship Sect, and even the mastermind behind this incident, there may be a fourth person! The other party should have entered this place accidentally, but Li Changfeng's death is likely related to the other party, which shows that his strength is definitely not weak, and he may even be a first-class master.
What one seeks in the martial arts world is nothing more than fame and fortune, and in order to satisfy this, the martial arts world has very clear divisions among warriors.
Inferior martial artists only know how to use fists and feet, but have no internal strength.
Although third-rate warriors have internal strength, it is only enough to strengthen their bodies.
A second-rate warrior is considered an entry-level warrior, with internal strength like a stream of water and the strength to lift a tripod.
Only first-rate warriors are considered famous in the martial arts world, with a reputation as a legend. Their inner strength is as vast as rivers, lakes and seas, and they are no longer ordinary people.
As for going further up.
There are only a few martial artists like Xiao Rumo, also known as grand masters, in the world.
As for Li Changfeng's strength, Xiao Rumo estimated that after he was possessed by the devil, he could be considered a top-notch warrior. Even after he and Mo Xinling were both injured in a fight, he was not so easy to kill. To be able to do this, the fourth person who broke in unexpectedly was most likely also top-notch.
But the thing is.....
"Who is it?"
"A first-rate warrior must be well-known in the martial arts world, but Xiaoyao Sect has not received any news, which means that the other party is not actually very famous in the martial arts world."
"... And since they are both top-notch, it is impossible for the other party not to recognize Li Changfeng. Why would he kill him?"
"unless... ..!"
In an instant! As if enlightened, Xiao Rumo suddenly raised his head!
A mysterious first-class strong man.
He was not afraid of the Xiaoyao Sect and even chopped off Li Changfeng's head.
Not very famous.
Based on the above points, Xiao Rumo made bold speculations, carefully verified, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Looking around the world, there is no one with such ability..."
"... Only the current imperial court!"
“That’s right!”
"It must be the imperial court that did it!"
And just when Xiao Rumo made the horrifying speculation, what was Gu Moli doing
This goes back to half a day ago...
