Chapter 306: Playing Cards Not According to Common Sense (Second Update)
Passing through the passage and coming to the front hall, Ji Wuchen appeared there unexpectedly. Long Haotian smiled and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Ji, I hope that my retreat has not delayed the decisive battle." Alright, let's go!"
Ji Wuchen didn't move, and his gaze at Long Haotian was a little more cold. Long Haotian naturally felt it, so he asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Ji, what's going on?"
"Senior Brother Long, where is Miss Xinyue?"
"Why did Senior Brother Ji suddenly ask about her?" Long Haotian suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong.
"Don't you really know?" Ji Wuchen's gaze became sharper, as if he wanted to see through Long Haotian's heart, so he heard him say word by word, "Xie Wuyu, dead!"
"What!" As soon as these words came out, Long Haotian was also extremely shocked.
Xie Wuyu, the second son of Elder Lingyun's eldest disciple Xie Rongyuan, is the top existence in Lingyun City in terms of status and talent. He died? Who was so bold as to dare to make a move against him? Even if he had heard that Xie Wuyu was almost shot to death by the hammer tyrant back then, he couldn't believe that after all these years, there were still people who dared to provoke Xie Rongyuan so openly.
"Who is it? Is it the one who is the hammer lord again?" asked Long Haotian.
"Hammer Ba?" Ji Wuchen stared at Long Haotian's eyes, his purple eyebrows trembled slightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"What's the matter, why is Senior Brother Ji looking at me like this? Does this matter still have anything to do with me?"
Suddenly, Long Haotian was excited. Because the news of Xie Wuyu's death was too shocking, Long Haotian forgot the first two sentences that Ji Wuchen said when he was looking for him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked about Lan Xinyue's whereabouts, and with the intelligence network of the East Pavilion, Long Haotian was convinced that even if the door of his first disciple's mansion was closed tightly, they would definitely be able to lock Lan Xinyue's whereabouts. Now that they have asked directly, it seems that they must have suspected and secretly investigated, but in the end they found nothing.
"But why are they looking for Lan Xinyue?" Long Haotian was puzzled, "Could it be that they found something strange on Xie Wuyu's body?"
"Senior Brother Ji, if you have something to say, just say it, why bother beating around the bush like this?" Long Haotian's face showed a look of displeasure.
Ji Wuchen's gaze never left Long Haotian, as if he wanted to see through his heart. And he was also keenly aware that Long Haotian seemed to be deliberately concealing Lan Xinyue's whereabouts.
After being silent for a long time, I heard Ji Wuchen say: "Let's go!
"Wait!" Long Haotian said angrily, "Senior Brother Ji, if this matter is not explained clearly today, even if the City Pavilion Lord personally comes forward, please forgive Long Haotian for not participating!"
"Okay, since that's the case, then ask Senior Brother Long to let me go and meet Miss Xinyue, I have a few words I want to ask her face to face, is it okay?"
For a while, Long Haotian felt that he was facing a difficult game.
He couldn't judge the hole cards in Ji Wuchen's hand now, whether the people from Donglai Pavilion had taken advantage of his absence for fifteen days to go to the mansion to investigate. If you have been there, even if you have just called outside, you will easily find that there is no one in the mansion.
And at the same time, in the first disciple area, that day he felt that there were countless eyes that coveted Lan Xinyue's beauty. I'm afraid that the moment I enter the mansion, many people's eyes will not leave their residence. Then, Donglai Pavilion must be able to find out that in the past fifteen days, only if she has gone out, Miss Xinyue should be in the house.
Although Long Haotian really couldn't figure out what Lan Xinyue had to do with reconciling the death of Shameless. But Long Haotian knew very well that if he lost this time, he was afraid that he had the secrets of the inner world and would be completely exposed. At that time, with his own strength, he will not be able to preserve this Buddha bead at all, and he will also be destroyed!
He really hated himself for being too negligent in this detail, and he had left the girl in the mansion if he had known about it. But helplessly, Leng Shan needed to be taken care of at that time, and the environment in the inner world was much better than that in the outside world, so in the end, Leng Shan and the girl were left in the Buddha beads. Unexpectedly, now he was asked by Ji Wuchen like this.
Ji Wuchen's sharp gaze was like a sharp blade, patiently waiting for Long Haotian's answer.
After being silent for about a cup of tea, he finally looked at Long Haotian and smiled: "Senior Brother Ji, if you have any questions, I can convey them for you." It's just that Xinyue doesn't seem to want to see outsiders! If Senior Brother Ji has to be strong, then please don't blame me Long Haotian, it's rude!"
Finally, Ji Wuchen's tightly locked purple eyebrows stretched slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, he stepped forward and patted Long Haotian on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's me who is rude." But the responsibility, and the fact that this matter is too big, so I have to ask first!"
Long Haotian didn't dare to be careless at all, and asked cautiously: "Senior Brother Ji, what happened? Second Son Xie, how did he die, why do you have to see Xinyue?"
"It's weird!"
Ji Wuchen told Xie Wuyu about pretending to be Xie Wuyi and trying to fish in troubled waters.
Finally, he said: "According to what the ten disciples said at that time, Xie Wuyi took out a charred corpse from the thundercloud pool. At first, they thought it was a piece of scorched wood. But after careful identification, I found out that it was a person. It's just that his flesh and blood are long gone, and his bones are as if they have been struck by thunder, charred and brittle.
"I have heard that the power of the thunder liquid in the thundercloud pool is very domineering, and there have been many disciples and disciples in the past, but they have not been able to hold out until the end and quit. Will the second son of Xie ......?"
"Although the power of the Thundercloud Pool is domineering, but the Purple Cloud Sect has been established for so many years, and there are not a thousand disciples who have bathed in it, but also eight hundred. Although many people didn't make it to the end, after all, life is more important than cultivation, so no one has ever died because of this.
And, although Xie Wuyu's body was unrecognizable, it was not difficult to find that his body did not seem to be struggling at that time. I've bathed in the thundercloud pool, and I know how terrible that power is. To do that, unless Xie Wuyu was already in a deep coma at that time, or someone had his soul controlled!"
"And you Donglai Pavilion know that Xinyue is good at soul power techniques, and I haven't found any trace of her these days, and I have a grudge against that Xie Wuyu, so you come to suspect me, right?" Long Haotian finally understood in his heart.
"You're right. Everyone remembers that day, how angry you were and how you were dishonored. So everyone also expressed their understanding that Xie Wuyu would rashly challenge the rules of the sect, after all, he was so angry with you. The enmity between the two of you, everyone is also looking at it!
"Although, according to normal logic, it should be when you are bathing, that Xie Wuyin will assassinate you. However, Senior Brother Long, you have brought too many surprises to people during this time, whether it is your cultivation or your courage. So people think it's understandable if you're doing something that doesn't make sense!"
