"Ding! Trigger side quest: investigate the whereabouts of Lu Xiuyuan's body, uncover the conspiracy behind it, and there will be a heavy penalty for overtime. ”

Ling Tian ignored it and quickly returned to the open space outside the main hall.

"Chongming Bird!"

Ling Tian summoned the Chongming Bird and called Mu Chenxue to prepare for departure.

At this moment, Qiu Zhenghe and Zhu Xingxiu walked back.

Seeing that Qiu Zhenghe, who was sturdy, wanted to get drunk, he leaned on Zhu Xingxiu with paralysis.

Mu Chenxue was confused.

"Master, what's wrong with these seven senior brothers?"

"Scared!"

"Scared, what's scared?" Mu Chenxue was even more curious and puzzled.

What can scare a dignified seven-foot man into this ghostly look?

"What do you say?" Ling Tian didn't directly say the answer.

But with this response, Mu Chenxue instantly understood.

"It turned out to be for the master's fear. Isn't it going to be hacked too?"

"Master, I'm afraid the seventh senior brother ......"

"Come up for me. Ling Tian said coldly.

Zhu Xingxiu flew on the back of the bird with Qiu Zhenghe.

Although the four of them rode together, the back of the Chongming Bird was not even a little crowded. On the contrary, there are still a lot of places.

"Let's go!"

Ling Tian gave an order, and the Chongming Bird raised its head to the sky and chirped, and then soared into the sky.

On the back of the bird, everyone did not dare to speak. Because they could all feel that Ling Tian was angry now.

This was also the second time Mu Chenxue had seen Ling Tian so angry.

Ling Tian closed his eyes and said nothing. But I kept thinking about it in my heart.

He had already thought about it before.

I am afraid that those ill-intentioned people will take advantage of Lu Xiuyuan's death to make a big fuss, and then set off a crisis specifically aimed at themselves.

But this is secondary, and he vaguely feels that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it.

If you don't do it, it will also cause a grudge war between the righteous path and the demon path.

This led to the chaos of Zhongzhou Yuanguo.

Thinking of this, Ling Tian's heart couldn't help but tighten.

After all, it's just for yourself, and everything is okay.

If you really move towards the worst, it's really not something you can afford to do alone.

"But who's behind this, and what is their purpose?"

Ling Tian had to think about this question again.

"The Xuanming Sect is divided, the apprentices rebel, the master and apprentice kill each other, the righteous path is besieged, Li Yuntian, Lu Xiuyuan, the people of the Wu clan, Mu Chenxue, Ge Longquan, Yuan Long, Linmu Xuan, Zhu Xingxiu, ......"

Ling Tian carefully listed all the things that could be connected to him in his mind at the moment.

I hope to find a breakthrough in this.

But the amount of information is still too small, and some things are too big to span the years, and there are not clear memories that make accurate contacts.

At present, Ling Tian could only start thinking about the matter of the "Righteous Path Siege".

Suddenly, Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes. He looked solemn.

"The smell of blood is strong!"

Not only him, but even Mu Chenxue, Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe also discovered it early.

"Master, there is a strong smell of blood. ”

"Go down and have a look. Heavy Bird. ”

The bird listened to the order and landed instantly.

However, at this moment, Qiu Zhenghe's face changed greatly.

"What the hell is going on?"

Qiu Zhenghe's face was full of shock. Suddenly, like crazy, he swept away.

I saw that on the road to the Soul Eclipse Temple, corpses were strewn all over the field. And one by one is either missing arms or legs, and the death is extremely tragic.

Zhu Xingxiu looked at it, and he was immediately stunned.

These dead people turned out to be from the Soul Eclipse Temple.

"Xingxiu, go and investigate. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Zhu Xingxiu swept away. Only Mu Chenxue and Ling Tian were left in place.

"Master, why did you suddenly come to such a place?" asked Mu Chenxue puzzled.

"Because of Lu Xiuyuan's corpse. Ling Tian replied coldly.

He was now walking towards the mountain path to the Temple of Soul Eaters.

But it's really a corpse in one step, and a corpse in five steps. It's shocking to watch.

Lu Xiuyuan's corpse?

Mu Chenxue didn't know anything about Lu Xiuyuan's corpse yet. That's why he looked puzzled.

"A mere corpse of Lu Xiuyuan is worthy of Master, you come to this kind of place in person, Master?"

"If Lu Xiuyuan is just Lu Xiuyuan, then there is really no need for this. To steal is to steal. But. ”

"But?" Mu Chenxue felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"But he is the fifth deacon of the Yuanyang Palace. If he represents the famous and righteous way in the whole world, and the powerful Yuanyang Palace. Then things are different. ”

Mu Chenxue understood at the moment.

Although she didn't think as deeply as Ling Tian, she could still figure it out on the surface.

"Then wouldn't Master and the Xuanming Sect usher in a huge crisis?"

"That's right! So, that's why you're a good teacher to cultivate. For the first time, Ling Tian showed a bitter tone.

When Mu Chenxue heard this, her heart was full of guilt.

Especially when she thought of the precious pills, exercises, and weapons that Ling Tian had given her over and over again, her heart really hurt as if she had been stabbed by a knife.

"Master, Dusty Snow has lived up to Master's expectations. The disciples will definitely concentrate on cultivation in the future. ”

Ling Tian nodded.

"That's right. How's that for you to inquire before?"

"Back to Master. Dusty Xue asked the senior sisters of Jingyuemen to inquire in many ways, and mentioned the incident to Senior Brother Zhu several times, intentionally or unintentionally. There was a real discovery. ”

Originally, Ling Tian didn't hold out hope, so he asked casually.

Who knew that Mu Chenxue would say that he had made some discoveries.

This surprised Ling Tian a little.

"Let's listen to it for the teacher. Ling Tian remained silent.

"Dusty Xue found out that the master chased and killed the sixth senior brother and the ninth senior brother back then. It's not just about cleaning up portals. ”

"Really?" Ling Tian asked deliberately rhetorically.

Mu Chenxue spoke again: "Just like Master said, the split of the Xuanming Sect is extremely strange. But the person who planned this thing seems to be Senior Brother Zhu. ”

"Zhu Xingxiu?"

Ling Tian wasn't surprised to hear the name.

It's just that I have a lot of doubts in my heart.

Although I wanted to ask Zhu Xingxiu directly every time, I always held back.

After all, what does this piece of memory he lost have to do with Zhu Xingxiu or even these criminals, he is really worried.

If you don't think it will really cause them to join forces to kill themselves again.

"Yes. I heard him sigh that day and say that it was all his fault. He also had unspeakable secrets, so he had to plot to split the Xuanming Sect. ”

"And then?" Ling Tian asked.

"And then there was no more. Senior Brother Zhu didn't say anything more and left on his own. Seeing his expression, he was a little lost, a little annoyed, and a little painful. ”

Ling Tian's face was black.

What is the appearance of these three emotions on this person's face at the same time?

Just as Ling Tian and Mu Chenxue were finishing, Zhu Xingxiu's figure flew from a distance.

"Master, the apprentice has checked it. It was found that no one survived in the entire Soul Eclipse Temple. ”

"What? No one survived, who was so cruel?" Mu Chenxue was completely stunned.

"Who do you think did it?"

Ling Tian was still expressionless, cold as ice.

In fact, Ling Tian already had two answers in his heart. It's just that there is no evidence to substantiate it.

Hearing this, Zhu Xingxiu shook his head: "The apprentice doesn't know. However, judging from the wounds of each corpse, the cultivation of the person who shot was extremely high, at least at the realm of Emperor Wu. And there were no less than three people in total. ”

"How is Old Seventh now?" Ling Tian's tone showed a slight concern.

"Back to Master, Senior Brother Seventh is now in a state of grief. ”

"Master, the seventh senior brother is here. Mu Chenxue whispered.

At this moment, Qiu Zhenghe's figure was extremely depressed.

He walked up to Ling Tian step by step and immediately knelt down.

"Master, the apprentice implores the master to make the decision for the apprentice. ”

Ling Tian frowned slightly: "Do you know who did it?"

"Senior brother, Gou Wenyao!"

"What?

"Gou Wenyao?"

Hearing Qiu Zhenghe's words, not only Zhu Xingxiu was shocked, but even Ling Tian felt that it was unlikely.

As for why Qiu Zhenghe came to such a conclusion, Ling Tian wanted to hear it.

"That's right. The apprentice found this. ”

Qiu Zhenghe handed over what he had found.

Ling Tian took a look at it, and saw that this was a special herb, its leaves were like stars, the color was like blood, it smelled a faint pungent smell, and it was as refreshing as mint leaves to chew.

"Awakening Grass. ”

Zhu Xingxiu also saw this unique herb at a glance.

"This is the herb that Senior Brother must bring. Every time I draw a knife to kill someone, I chew a piece of awakening grass. After the knife is collected, it will also leave a piece of awakening grass. ”

"Eighth child, that's right. Moreover, this herb has many effects, but it is extremely difficult to cultivate, so it is extremely difficult to buy on the market. Most people don't bring these herbs with them. ”

After listening to what the two of them said, Ling Tian did not speak in a hurry. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

"If it was really Gou Wenyao's doing, the teacher would not spare him. However, it is a bit arbitrary to conclude that your senior brother has committed murder and destroyed the entire Soul Eclipse Hall based on just a piece of Awakening Grass. ”

Not only did Ling Tian feel so, but Zhu Xingxiu also thought so. He spoke immediately.

"Senior Brother Seven, don't worry. Since Master has promised you, you will definitely do it. You get up first!"

"Thank you, Master. ”

Zhu Xingxiu helped Qiu Zhenghe up.

"But then again, since this Awakening Grass has appeared in the Soul Eclipse Palace, it means that your senior brother is very likely to appear here. And he made a move. Ling Tian continued to say slowly.

"But did he kill any people from the Soul Eater Temple? How many did he kill? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xingxiu also hurriedly agreed.

"Seventh Senior Brother, Master is right. I have carefully examined most of the corpses just now, from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, from the outside of the hall to the inside of the hall, I can conclude that there are at least three people from the Martial Emperor realm who came to make a move. ”

"This is a bit against the principle of the elder brother. He's a lone ranger, and he never likes to be interfered with. Therefore, I think we still need to investigate carefully before we can draw conclusions. What do you say?"

After listening to Ling Tian and Zhu Xingxiu's analysis, Qiu Zheng figured it out a little.

He nodded: "Master is right. Then let the apprentice investigate for himself, okay?"

Ling Tian pondered for a moment, feeling that it was impossible to investigate this matter clearly with Qiu Zhenghe's brain alone.

"Xingxiu, you fully assist your Seventh Senior Brother to investigate this matter as soon as possible. Ling Tian commanded.

"Yes. The vain is commanded. Zhu Xingxiu bowed.

"Master Xie. Qiu Zhenghe was full of gratitude and saluted respectfully.

"Also, remember the matter of Chachalu Xiuyuan's corpse. Contact me as soon as there is any progress. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Xingxiu and Qiu Zhenghe immediately received the order, and then left to find Gou Wenyao for verification.

Now. The entire Soul Eclipse Palace's territory was once again left with Ling Tian and Mu Chenxue.

"Ding! Trigger side quest: investigate the cause of the destruction of the Soul Eclipse Temple, punish the perpetrators, and have a time limit of ten days, and there will be heavy penalties for overtime. ”

At this moment, the system prompt sound sounded again.

Ling Tian was worried, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Mu Chenxue hurriedly asked why she was worried?

Ling Tian waved his hand slightly, and then summoned the Chongming Bird.

"Master, are we going back?"

"Take a trip to the Ghost Cult. Ling Tian replied coldly.

"What?Wraith?"

Hearing the words "Ghost Sect", Mu Chenxue almost fainted without being nervous.

"Master, the Ghost Sect is a tiger's den in Longtan, and without strong support, you must not go like this. Mu Chenxue hurriedly dissuaded.

Although she knew that what Ling Tian had decided was not easy to change, she still had to give it a try.

"That's right. That's why I have to go for a walk. ”

At this point, Ling Tian's eyes unexpectedly flashed a cold glow.
