Chapter Ninety-Eight: Trends of the Parties I (Chapter with Red Envelopes)
Ghost San looked around and said with a smile, "I wonder what you think about the rebellion of the demon clan in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range?"
"Riot?"
"What do you mean?"
...
Most of the Immortal Sects present shook their heads, this time recently, they were busy investigating Li Fugui's affairs, who had time to take care of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
Moreover, the area where the riot occurred was carefully selected by Li Yi'an today, and there were very few people from the surrounding demon hunting team and other immortal sects, so not many people knew about it.
But the people of the three ghosts were in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range during that time, and because of the problem of the Prison Prayer Array's move, they always paid attention to every move of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
This demon clan riot naturally attracted their attention.
In addition, there are also a few small sects that occasionally enter the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range to hunt demons, and at this moment, they are talking to each other, exchanging information with True Yuan.
At this time, Oni San said again: "It happened shortly after the auction. β
After he finished speaking, he sat down, no longer spoke, he got up, and the people of the Immortal Sect were not stupid.
The information of the three ghosts is important, but it is not important, because no one knows what is at stake.
But one of his messages was particularly crucial, 'Soon after the auction!'
Yu Wentuo was so keen, he said at the moment: "I, Xu Long, a disciple of the Feather Arrow Sect, died in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range not long after the auction!"
"What?"
"Why did something so big happen to the Sky Wolf Mountain Range recently?"
"Xu Long is dead? This seems to be a disciple of this Yu Wentuo. β
"It seems that yes, this Yu Wentuo also has a disciple named Haneda Yi, who also died a few years ago. β
"Tut-tut... Others accept apprentices to pass on their arts, and he accepts apprentices to his death!"
"Shhhhh
"It's okay, what about the true yuan transmission, and I didn't say it explicitly"
"Yes, yes, it scared the hell out of me. β
...
There was a lot of talk...
Yu Wentuo's words, the speaker has no intention of listening, and among them, naturally includes the people from the Dan Sect.
On that day, Xu Long and his disciples of the Feather Arrow Sect, colluding with the disciples of the Dan Sect, prepared to kidnap Liu Xian'er in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
Although Xu Long and his senior brothers were already sleeping in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range, the outer disciples of the Dan Sect who had left Liu Xian'er's side before were still alive.
After they left Liu Xian'er, they went back to the city directly that day, and received Xu Long's benefits, so they naturally wanted to enjoy it.
A few days later, they went to the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range again to collect medicine, and suddenly became interested and went to the scene of that day
Looking at the corpses of the Feather Arrow Sect that were all over the place, they were suddenly shocked, and they knew immediately that something had happened!
After cleaning up the bodies, they were also relieved that they did not find the bodies of Xu Long and Liu Xian'er.
But the matter was very important, and he immediately returned to the city, and reported the matter to the head of Danzong on the fourth front, Zhao Ming, in a panic.
That Zhao Ming naturally knew the stakes, and sought out Chen Qiuding of the Feather Arrow Sect to discuss countermeasures.
The two sects immediately cooperated, and together they began to search for Xu Long and Liu Xian'er in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
Liu Xian'er is the daughter of the former head of the Dan Sect, although she is insignificant in the sect, but it is related to the faΓ§ade of the Dan Sect.
And Xu Long's identity is different, after Haneda's death, Xu Long is Yu Wentuo's beloved apprentice, and he cultivates him with all his might, how dare he slack off.
Not long after, the disciples came to report that they had found some wreckage in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range, which was Xu Long, who had been dismembered by Li Yi'an.
It took a lot of time for everyone to finally piece together Xu Long.
And because of the decay, that appearance really made the scalps of everyone present tingle.
The two who knew the reason for the incident, after disposing of Xu Long's body, both suppressed the matter.
After all, what Xu Long did was not honorable and damaged the faΓ§ade of the two sects.
But Liu Xian'er must be found, and this is the key person who can know the cause of Xu Long's death.
But before everyone had time to start arranging, the matter of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was exposed by the Royal Beast Sect.
Soon after, Yu Wentuo came to this fourth front.
Seeing this, Chen Qiuding could only report Xu Long's death and what Xu Long had done.
...
Now, seeing that Yu Wentuo has already told Xu Long's death, there is no need for him Danzong to hide it, although it is disgraceful, but today, those few outer disciples who know the cause of the incident have long been wiped out.
"The daughter of the former head of my Danzong, Liu Xian'er, disappeared when she was collecting medicine in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range!"
"This..."
There was a lot of talk...
At this time, a small sect spoke up: "I heard that the Red Flame Demon Hunting Group in our city has also had an accident, and Chen Xiuming, the son of the head of the group, Chen Hao, is missing! β
"Ah, I know this, I've heard it too, the head of the regiment, Chen Hao, sent a lot of demon hunting teams to look for it, and finally found it in a dense forest, but it's very strange!"
"What's weird?"
"The demon clan in that place is very irritable, by the way, it shouldn't be the demon clan riot that the ghost sect said!"
"In this matter, I also know that Chen Xiuming is not missing, and now it can be confirmed that he is dead."
"Yes, I have friends who are engaged in the demon hunting team, and they also saw Chen Hao's bounty information some time ago. β
"This..."
The big sect, the investigation of Li Fugui is very busy, the small sect is more down-to-earth, and the surrounding news is constant.
The demon clan riot is a big news for these small sects, and a steady stream of information has appeared.
When everyone summed up the information, the final situation was puzzling.
The demon clan rioted, and the situation is unknown.
At the scene of the demon clan's riot, a large number of people from the Red Flame Demon Hunting Group appeared, all of whom were in different places, and were bitten by the demon clan, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
At the scene of the demon rebellion, a large number of arrows marked by the Feather Arrow Sect also appeared.
When the information was gathered, everyone looked at the Feather Arrow Sect, waiting for their explanation.
Seeing this, Chen Qiuding immediately got up and explained: "The rebellion of the Demon Clan, as well as the people of the Red Flame Demon Hunting Troupe, are definitely not the work of my Feather Arrow Sect. If my Feather Arrow Sect really wants to do this, how can I use an arrow with the mark of this sect, this must be framed by someone. I'm not stupid, and I'm sure you're not stupid! If anyone wants to do nothing, I won't be soft. β
Those small sects, all know that this Chen Qiuding has been like eating gunpowder recently, and no one dares to provoke him, so they immediately kept silent one by one.
Chen Qiuding looked around, snorted coldly, and looked at Ghost San.
Now this matter is the head of the ghost three, and it turns out that it is pointing back and forth at the Feather Arrow Sect?What do you mean?
And the ghost three grinned at this time and said, "Haha, Commander Chen, I didn't say that it was your Feather Arrow Sect."
Oni San paused and continued, "I have a hypothesis that I can connect these things one by one, but would you like to hear it?" β
Chen Qiuding scolded angrily: "If you want to say it, just say it, don't be fucking yin and yang!"
The ghost three was not annoyed, took a sip of wine, and said: "If that Li Yi'an kills Xu Long, kidnaps Liu Xian'er, and then uses Xu Long's arrows to kill the people of the Red Flame Demon Hunting Group, will they be able to connect in series?"
"Then, tell me, why did the demon clan riot?"
Oni San glanced at the man, and his eyes were particularly sharp.
He said in a cold voice: "I don't know why the demon clan is rioting. β
The man and the ghost three glanced at each other, and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
Everyone fell silent, what the ghost three said, it was just a hypothesis, but what about the motive?
Why did he kill Xu Long? Why did he kill the people of the Red Flame Demon Hunting Group? And how could he prove that this person was Li Yi'an?
To support the Ghost Three hypothesis, these need to have a reasonable explanation.
...
While most of the sects were still skeptical, the Dan Sect and the Feather Arrow Sect seemed to already have an idea in their hearts.
Motive? Could it be that he broke the matter of Xu Long's strong abduction of Liu Xian'er?
However, why did Li Yi'an kill the people of the Red Flame Demon Hunting Group again? Moreover, how to prove that this person was Li Yi'an?
Yu Wentuo was furious at this time, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, since someone put forward this idea, it was equivalent to finding a direction for him to vent his anger.
"Kid from the Ghost Sect, your hypothesis is very bold and interesting, but why did he kill someone from the Red Flame Demon Hunting Troupe? Also, how do you prove that this person is Li Yi'an?"
Oni San took out a topographic map of the Sirius Mountains and the Twilight Ice Fields used by the Demon Hunter Team from the Space Ring.
He then took out a brush and drew three circles on it.
In the end, he connected the three circles with a line and an arrow.
At the moment, someone immediately spoke out.
"In this direction, is it moving north?"
"By the way, if these things are really done by the same person, his purpose is to go north. β
"Yes, if these things are done by one person, then this person must be Li Yi'an!"
...
The people in the Immortal Sect present had to admire this ghost three, if his assumption was true, this person must be Li Yi'an.
Because of the major events that have occurred on the map recently, the direction of the series is to go north, towards the twilight ice field.
But... Why three laps?
Yuwen Tuo looked at the ghost three meaningfully and asked: "Boy, Xu Long died in the first circle, the demon clan riot and Chen Xiuming of the Red Flame Demon Hunting Group died in the second circle, what does this third circle mean?"
Onisan put down the brush in his hand and slapped his palms.
When everyone was still puzzled, the door of this floor was pushed open, and what appeared in the eyes of everyone was a rough-looking man, dressed in the costume of a demon hunting team.
If Li Yi'an was present, he would find that this person had three similarities with his deceased soul Chen Xiuming.
Yu Wentuo rarely pressed his irritable heart and asked the ghost three.
"What is this?"
"This is Chen Xiuming's father, Chen Hao, the leader of the Red Flame Demon Hunting Troupe!"
There are a few people from small sects who have already recognized the comer.
Not long after Yu Wentuo came to the fourth front, he didn't know it in common sense, but the Red Flame Demon Hunter Group was the second largest demon hunting group in the city.
There will always be sects that need certain materials to trade with.
Chen Hao, of course some of them know.
At this time, everyone's eyes in the audience were focused on Chen Hao.
He has some means on weekdays, but where have he seen such a big scene, so many sect monks, the cultivation is more terrifying than the other, and he was suddenly frightened and couldn't move.
Someone has already asked out loud: "Ghost three, what does this mean?"
Ghost San glanced at Chen Hao and said, "Don't say it yet?"
Chen Hao was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Some time ago, my subordinates found that there was a demon hunting team with my son Chen Xiuming's belongings in his hands. My child hadn't been seen for days, so I sent someone to investigate. Finally, I got the news that my son's belongings were picked up from an area of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range. I immediately rushed there, and the flesh, stumps, and broken clothes on the ground were full of marks of the bite of demons and beasts, and even on one arm, there were several tooth marks of different sizes and races... Soon after, my men found the body of my son, Chen Xiuming. β
When he said this, there was some anger in his eyes, but more fear.
He is not a good person, how can a person who has been engaged in the demon hunting team all his life not have a life on his hands.
But the tragic appearance that day really shocked him.
He swallowed and continued, "My boy used to borrow hands from my brother-in-law, but without exception, they all died in that area, and I thought that the clue would be cut off. So we started to offer bounty related information in the circle of our demon hunting team, and it didn't take long for several demon hunting teams to report. A few days before the incident, these demon hunting teams had been hired by my son. β
Everyone present knew that what Chen Hao said next would be important information.
Because so far, the information in their hands is just hypothesis and speculation, but this Chen Hao has the demon hunting team as proof, and they all pricked up their ears, and the field is simply punishable.
Even, someone has been waiting impatiently to urge.
Chen Hao nodded and continued: "According to my investigation, it is a couple who have a grudge against my son, the woman is called Ye Yuhua, and the man is called Chu Tian, who runs a charm shop in the city. After the conflict that began, three strange demon hunters appeared, Chu Tian and his wife did not know each other, two men of a slightly older grade, one of them was injured and carried by the other, in addition, there was a little bald head of a younger age. They fought against my son together with Chutian and his wife. The person who took the lead also appeared with a mysterious token, according to them, Xiu Ming was very scared at that time!"
"Tokens?"
"What token?"
Chen Hao shook his head, there were not many people who knew the July Pavilion token that day, and Chen Xiuming also kept his mouth shut.
"It must be a pass order between the demon clans, do you still need to think about it..."
Someone suddenly spoke up about a possibility, and everyone fell into deep thought again.
The three ghosts helped everyone sort out their thoughts.
"Not long after, your son borrowed someone from your brother-in-law, and after that, this group disappeared along with your son Chen Xiuming!"
Chen Hao nodded: "Yes, that's right." β
After he finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the Feather Arrow Sect, and he couldn't let go of the fact that a large number of Feather Arrow Sect arrows appeared in that area.
If he would never have dared to question the Feather Arrow Sect on weekdays, but now that there are so many Immortal Sects present, he also thinks that the Feather Arrow Sect will not dare to directly attack him.
"I... My people still found a large number of arrows from the Feather Arrow Sect in the area where my son Xiuming died!"
Before Chen Qiuding and Bailichuan could speak, Ghost San immediately took over: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Xu Long, the disciple of Elder Yu Wentuo of the Feather Arrow Sect, was also killed, this person must have taken Xu Long's arrow and deliberately misled!"
"What?"
Chen Hao was taken aback, he hadn't seen Yu Wentuo of the Feather Arrow Sect, but he knew the name, the Great Elder of the Feather Arrow Sect, his disciple was actually dead.
Everyone present was not surprised, they had already known that Chen Hao was stunned at this time.
Originally, his first reaction was the same as most people, the Feather Arrow Sect was the most suspicious, but the Feather Arrow Sect was not good at driving beasts.
He is not stupid, so he is also skeptical, and now he knows that this Xu Long also died in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
Then at this time, it was only related to the three mysterious people who suddenly appeared, because they were the only ones who had a conflict with his son Chen Xiuming.
Bailichuan listened for a long time, pointed to the third circle on the map and asked, "Then the Tibetan Sword River you circled has anything to do with this Chen Hao?"
"That's right!"
Everyone reacted and talked for a long time, but they still didn't say what the situation was in the third circle.
In Chen Hao's heart at this time, he had roughly determined that the three people who suddenly appeared must be the murderers.
Before the ghost three could speak, he said with a hideous face.
"I know that the Chutian couple needed to go to the Tibetan Sword River because they needed the bitter gall of the Qingzhu fish, and the three of them proved according to the demon hunting team present that day that they were traveling with the Chutian couple afterwards. The destination is also this Hidden Sword River, and all the demon hunting teams present that day can prove it!"
Everyone looked at the map in the hand of the ghost three, and then looked at Chen Hao.
In the midst of the scene, Danzong and Feather Arrow Sect knew better than anyone else in their hearts.
They already have a general idea.
Li Yi'an's whereabouts must have been that he broke Xu Long and Liu Xian'er, and then killed Xu Long.
clashed with Chen Xiuming, killed Chen Xiuming, and finally walked with the Chutian couple who went north to find medicine, and went to the Tibetan Sword River.
The general demon hunting team will hunt demons in a certain area, which is more targeted.
But these three people have almost crossed the entire Sky Wolf Mountain Range.
What is there in the Tibetan Sword River, only herring pearl fish!
To say that their purpose is the same as that of Chu Tian and his wife, and they are also going for this blue pearl fish, who would believe it?
The three of them must have traveled north, crossed the Tibetan Sword River, headed for the Twilight Glacier, and then headed for the Demon Clan.
Chen Hao's eyes rolled at this time, and he spoke again: "I, I remember, someone saw their leader that day, and he once fought with my son once, using a sword. β
"What?"
"Sword Sect Li Yi'an, of course he uses a sword!"
"It won't be wrong, their route, their weapons, all match, although there are three people, but it is also possible that it was done on purpose. β
"Or... There are three people who collude with the demon clan!"
"It's possible!"
"But why did they still want to go with Chu Tian and his wife?
"Deliberately, stupidly, blending into the crowd and confusing the line of sight. β
"No, I look at that, it's because the terrain is unfamiliar, so I want to find the demon hunting team!"
"It makes sense, it makes sense. β
...
Bailichuan breathed a sigh of relief, although Li Yi'an was still suspicious of Po's actions.
But the general direction will not be wrong, and everyone present was finally guided in the right direction, and he was a little more afraid of this ghost three.
"So, what do we do next?"
"This person is relatively young, according to Captain Chen's description, it must be Yi Rong, fortunately, they are numerous, and their size is equivalent to the size of two demon hunting squads, we can start from here. β
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately refuted.
"In the direction of the Hidden Sword River, the demon hunting team is scarce, and their trip is extremely dangerous, so they will inevitably choose a route with fewer people. No one will see them. β
"What the is going to do!"
"Start with Chu Tian and his wife, doesn't he have a charm shop in the city, and he also has a child!"
"Yes, you can start here. β
...
At this time, the ghost three and Bailichuan were already scolding their mothers in their hearts.
Bailichuan of the Dark Hall, after learning about Li Yi'an and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, immediately notified the high-level of the Ghost Sect.
After discussion, the high-level leaders of the Ghost Sect made a series of plans on the spot, and asked the Ghost Three to cooperate, after all, he was active in the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
Therefore, they collected information even earlier than the time when the Imperial Beast Sect broke the news.
And the ghost three also figured out the general direction according to the recent abnormalities of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range.
I have to say that he still admires Li Yi'an in his heart, and he didn't choose to take a detour from other fronts.
Thinking about it, I couldn't figure out when the Royal Beast Sect would break the news, so I chose to go directly to the Heavenly Wolf Mountain Range and go north to save time.
As for this Chu Tian couple, they had already investigated.
But it was already too late at that time, and I don't know what the situation was, the family of Chu Tian and his wife, and the shop, disappeared in an instant overnight.
They could only temporarily determine that Chen Hao had startled the snake.
...
With the cooperation of Ghost San and Bailichuan, there was another detour, leading everyone to think in the right direction.
In the end, the immortal sects tentatively chose to go north directly, and let the sentry camps of the various immortal sects along the way strengthen their vigilance and patrol the surrounding areas.
Not only that, the various immortal sects will mobilize monks from other fronts to come and set off as soon as possible in a short period of time.
The reason why it is necessary to mobilize and mobilize manpower is not to deal with Li Yi'an of the Condensation Realm in the intelligence, but to deal with some demon clans that appear on the way.
After all, when robbing the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, the Human Race and the Demon Clan had already fought once, although the Demon Clan was all wiped out that time, but it was always right just in case.
For example, the 'Thirteen Demons!' that came out of the Mandarin Tower, you have to guard against it.
...
Li Yi'an didn't know about these things at this time, but Ji Ruyu, who was on the fourth front, had already issued several orders.
These orders began to be given on his way back.
First, all the families of Chutian and his wife were transferred.
Second, Yuanlou, Zhongdao Alliance, Tianxiatong, and other intelligence collection agencies have made every effort to collect the dynamics of various immortal sects.
Third, the upper level of the Yuanlou and Tianxiatong is strictly forbidden to sell any actions related to the execution of the nine-tailed fox.
As for the July Pavilion, Ji Ruyu wanted to mobilize and go north to help Li Yi'an.
However, his authority on the fourth front of the July Pavilion is extremely small.
When Ji Ruyu, as the young pavilion master, issued these orders shortly after.
In a certain mansion in the Qin Kingdom, the information about Ji Ruyu has been sorted out and sent to a certain basement.
In the dimly lit room of the basement, a middle-aged man sat at his desk, dressed in a white robe, which seemed out of place in the dim environment, and his face, for some reason, could not be seen.
Throughout the room, there was no furnishings except a table, a stool, and a flickering candle on the table.
He is Ji Ruyu's father, Ji Xuanzi, who is the ruler of the entire Yanyu Pavilion.
At this time, out of the darkness came an old man with a rickety back, whose hoarse and sharp voice was particularly creepy to hear.
"Pavilion Master, Young Pavilion Master, do you need to evacuate from the Fourth Front?"
Ji Xuanzi didn't raise his head and said, "Uncle Er, I'll leave the matter of Ruyu to you, but you don't need to evacuate from the fourth front." β
The old man, known as Uncle Er, laughed strangely, and his voice was like the sound of a midnight cat's paw scratching glass.
"Pavilion Master, do you want to help that young man?"
When Ji Xuanzi heard this, he glanced up at Uncle Er, but did not speak.
Uncle Er showed a playful smile, nodded at Ji Xuanzi and said, "Old slave, I know..."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness again...
And after Uncle Na Ye left, out of the darkness, another old man with white hair came out.
This person is the culprit who blew up the Mandarin Tower, Yuan Ninety-eight, Yuan is extremely serious.
It's a pity that the boss of the mandarin tower didn't have the courage to come here.
Ji Xuanzi heard the footsteps, and with a wave of his right hand, a stool appeared on the opposite side of his table.
Yuan Ji sat down unceremoniously and helped his old waist.
"Ninety-six, aren't you tired of staying in this ghost place every day?"
Ji Xuanzi shook his head helplessly, and said lightly: "How many times have I told you, call me senior brother!"
"Okay, Ninety-Six!"
Ji Xuanzi was helpless, put down the information in his hand, looked at Yuan Ji and said, "You look like this, do you want to help you recover?"
Yuan Ji even waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be, I'm fine, I can't die anyway"
"How's the investigation going?"
"I've been to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, a few years ago, a little girl in the Nine Yin Burial Dragon was indeed attacked by humans and demons!"
"And then?"
Yuan Ji pursed his lips, sighed and said: "No, that little girl, she has an intersection with Li Yi'an, if I contact her and continue to investigate, I am afraid that she will be struck by lightning again!"
"The Li Yi'an you are talking about, cause and effect are so involved, and the eternal sword of this sect is on his body, as far as you can see, whether it is good or bad. β
When Yuan Ji heard this, he put away his lazy attitude, and said to Ji Xuanzi seriously: "Senior brother, don't do anything to him! Don't even think about it." β
In the room, it was suddenly quiet and terrible...
But after a while, Ji Xuanzi leaned back, leaned back in the chair, and said with a smile: "You think too much, I am such a child, I have already used it to bet, how can I be willing to do it to that young man?"
As soon as the words fell, Ji Xuanzi suddenly disappeared, came behind Yuan Jishi, and grabbed his beard.
"Ouch, senior brother, you, you light, I'm old, it's not easy!"
Ji Xuanzi 'snorted', and removed three or four white whiskers of Yuan Jishi, and the painful Yuan Ji kept rubbing his chin.
"Hmph, you kid has fallen like this, and let me take Ruyu up, if he has any mistakes, I will pluck all your hair!"
After Ji Xuanzi finished speaking, the person had disappeared into this room.
Seeing this, Yuan Ji pursed his lips, leaned back, also leaned back in the chair, looked at Erlang's legs, and muttered to himself to the darkness in the room.
"(Λβ½ Μ~) Cut, no eyesight, you make a steady profit, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's lack of seeds, I would like to bet on it!"
He paused suddenly, thought for a moment, and a wicked, but attractive idea, appeared in his mind.
"Why don't you throw your senior sister out and slip around? But senior sister is this age, no, this Li Yi'an is not young, he has lived for eight lifetimes!
As soon as the words fell, a huge hammer appeared above Yuan Jishi's head.
"Dang!"
"Poof~", Yuan Ji, who had an obscene smile, was very slight, and completely fainted.
