The dark moon is the night for murder, and the high wind is the day for arson.
Tianjian Peak of Xiaoyao Sect.
After receiving the news about the so-called "Tomb of the First Emperor", Xiao Rumo returned to Tianjian Peak with a heavy heart.
As the master of Tianjian Peak, Xiao Rumo's residence is at the top of Tianjian Peak, on a steep cliff. There is no luxurious palace, but only a small wooden house. Outside the wooden house is a flock of sheep and an acre of land. It does not look like the residence of a peerless powerful person at all.
Instead, he looks more like an ordinary old farmer.
But that's the way it is.
Xiao Rumo is the strongest man in Xiaoyao Sect, but he is not excluded by the sect leader. This is largely due to his own style of doing things. Since he started learning sword at the age of ten, he has been living such a simple life for ninety years. He does not seek fame or wealth, and is almost selfless.
Thanks to this.
This small wooden house on Tianjian Peak is rarely visited by people under normal circumstances.
But today is an exception.
After returning to Tianjian Peak, Xiao Rumo soon saw Chen Changzhuan, the true disciple he brought with him. At this time, he was meditating and practicing Qi.
Judging from the posture and the skills, it is undoubtedly the style of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Let’s look at his performance after entering Tianjian Peak.
Nothing suspicious.
In this way... .
"Could it be that I really wronged him?"
“It shouldn’t be like that.”
Xiao Rumo stood outside the cabin and muttered to himself. Originally, he was sure that there was something wrong with Chen Changzhuan. After all, all the disciples who participated in the Battle of West Qinling died, and even Li Changfeng had his head cut off. Yet, a true disciple survived. No matter how you looked at it, it was very suspicious.
And then there is the mysterious fourth person.
If it was really the imperial court that did this, then the mastermind behind this...
... ..Um
Thinking of this, Xiao Rumo was suddenly stunned. If the mastermind behind this was really the imperial court, and the mysterious fourth person was also an expert of the imperial court, and everything was related to the imperial court...
What is the court doing
The Tomb of the First Emperor
But if the imperial court needs the help of the people of Jianghu and wants to use their power to open the tomb of the First Emperor, then there is no reason for it to plot against its own family and the Snake Worship Cult.
Does this mean that it wasn't the imperial court that did it
No no no!
wrong!
It must be the imperial court that did it! Only the imperial court has the ability and strength to do this!
But why
What is the purpose of taking action
Xiao Rumo took a deep breath, and the Xiaoyao Sect's mental method in his body started to work automatically, allowing him to think about the problem in the calmest manner: "If I am the mastermind behind the plot, and after scheming against the Xiaoyao Sect and the Snake Worship Sect, I deliberately left Chen Changzhuan alive, what was my purpose?"
"Pretending to be Chen Changzhuan to sneak into Xiaoyao Sect?"
"But everyone knows that so many people died, including the elders, and only one true disciple survived. This is too suspicious..."
"... ..ah!"
In an instant, Xiao Rumo woke up suddenly, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Yes!
"It's because it's too suspicious that it attracts everyone's attention!"
"After all, if one really wants to sneak into Xiaoyao Sect, how can it be so difficult? If the mysterious fourth person has the cultivation of a first-rate expert, he only needs to hide in the West Qinling Mountains, kill a lone disciple, and then disguise himself with a disguise, right?"
“Tsk!”
After emerging from Chen Changzhuan's fog, Xiao Rumo immediately grasped the key point.
Is this guess correct
Xiao Rumo didn't dare to guarantee that it was correct.
But it's very likely!
So the question is, if the other party has already mixed into the disciple team in this way and then followed them into Xiaoyao Sect, who would he be
Which disciple would not be suspected by himself
Which disciple is most likely to be overlooked by you
Which disciple....!
For no reason, a disciple suddenly flashed through Xiao Rumo's mind. It was that disciple who first reported Chen Changzhuan's existence to him. He was a very ordinary disciple, with a low level of cultivation, but not bad either. He was not handsome, but not ugly either, and had no background...
This is no longer reasoning.
At this point, Xiao Rumo relied more on his intuition as a warrior. The image of the disciple who reported the news flashed through his mind for the first time, so he did it. As a warrior, and a martial artist at that, Xiao Rumo believed in his intuition more than rationality.
"If I remember correctly, that disciple should be in..."
"... Kunyuan Peak?"
Xiao Rumo frowned. Even though he had no evidence, a slight feeling of uneasiness in his heart made him take action immediately and leave Tianjian Peak directly.
Although I don't have Lingxiao Peak's sword-wielding skills.
But with Xiao Rumo's level of cultivation, there was no need for that trouble. The internal force under his feet gushed out and directly turned into invisible steps, allowing him to run in the void. It was late at night, and considering that the other party had sneaked into Xiaoyao Sect with obvious ill intentions, now was a good time to act as the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
"... I hope my guess is wrong."
And at the same time.
The God of Thieves just walked out of the Shangwu Hall, dressed in black, holding Kunyuan Peak's peerless magic skills in his arms, and his face under the mask was full of complacency.
For a while.
He decided to go for another spin.
"Since you're here, why not leave something behind?"
"... Whatever!"
The God of Thieves did what he thought, so he picked up a stone from the ground and then scratched it hard on the door of Shangwu Hall, leaving the words "The God of Thieves Ji Wuyun was here".
As a result, just as the thief god left his calligraphy, Xiao Rumo arrived.
It is true that the Thief God's aura was concealed very well, but everyone is not blind. The Thief God wrote on the door of the Shangwu Hall openly. Even if others could not see him, they could at least see the words written on the door stroke by stroke. With a little thought, they knew that there must be something fishy going on.
What's more, Xiao Rumo is not an ordinary person.
Others cannot see the figure of the Thief God, but Xiao Rumo can see it with his cultivation level. Although it is a little blurry, it is enough.
"Asshole!"
The moment he caught the shadow of the God of Thief, Xiao Rumo roared in anger.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Rumo's mind, and finally he came to a conclusion.
I see!
Looking around the world, the only person who could have such a method of concealing his aura and such a superb disguise technique was the Thief God who became famous all over the world some time ago! And with the Thief God's cultivation, it was no problem for him to be ranked among the top in the martial arts world. Thinking about it this way, the mysterious fourth person in West Qinling must be the Thief God!
The intention of the thief god to infiltrate Xiaoyao Sect... .
... ..Any other questions
Looking at his bulging chest, you can tell that it is filled with my Xiaoyao Sect’s martial arts secrets!
They are here to steal the inheritance of my Xiaoyao Sect!
Considering the relationship between the mastermind and the imperial court, this thief god might also be a member of the imperial court... .
It’s terrifying when you think about it!
In just a few breaths, Xiao Rumo sorted out all his thoughts, so he just roared, and all the sword energy in his body poured out without reservation at this moment!
"Don't run away, thief!"
"Take my sword!"
Swish! It was clearly late at night, but it seemed as if a sun rose on the top of Kunyuan Peak. A sword light as long as 49 feet lit up as the Jianghu Sword was unsheathed. Xiao Rumo went all out in anger, and the sword came down with one blow. The sword energy rolled in like a wave!
At this moment, the thief's expression was like this.
Thief God: "w(?Д?)w!?"
