Yunjia Mine.

When Yun Haitang and his group arrived, the dispute had already ended.

Inside a temporary cave next to the mine.

When only Yun Haitang and Yun Lingshan were left, Yun Lingshan couldn't wait to ask:

"Auntie, that Qingjian Monk is Senior Chen, right?"

The corners of Yun Haitang's mouth moved, and seeing Yun Lingshan's anxious expression, she finally didn't lie, and nodded:

"Well, it's him."

Yun Lingshan suddenly realized, and felt that it was a matter of course...... It's no wonder that the look in her eyes, the vigorous and resolute style of acting, and the cultivation attitude of using every move to the extreme......

She knew him all too well.

I had only heard of the Qingjian Monk before, but when I saw the Qingjian Monk for the first time today, although she had a red-faced and beautiful beard and squinting eyes, she immediately associated this person with Chen Ping.

Sure enough, it was.

It's a pity that this person was very close to him before. And now away from yourself... It's close, but it's far away.

Far out of reach.

Thinking about this makes me feel a little sad.

Yun Haitang saw it in her eyes, Yun Lingshan grew up with her, and she naturally understood the little girl's thoughts.

When he came back from the outer realm, Yun Lingshan said that he had a favorite male cultivator in the outer sect. But after so many years, there has been no one to see, and Yun Lingshan is unknown, how can she not know that Yun Lingshan is lying.

But... Emotional matters have always been selfish.

Yun Haitang sighed lightly in his heart and changed the topic:

"How's your injury?"

Yun Lingshan came back to her senses:

"Out of the way, they didn't kill them. … Auntie, after this incident, I'm afraid these three people won't give up, and I still need to think of follow-up countermeasures."

Yun Haitang looked out the window and said quietly:

"The husband has always acted cautiously, this time he did not hesitate to pick up his face, and earned back this face in public for the Yun family and the Ling Xiao Sect, maybe he had already thought of follow-up countermeasures."

"Of course, if not, it would be in vain for me to think more. We can only wait for Master Wei to come out of the customs before we can discuss."

"Hmm." Yun Lingshan nodded.

「……」

……

In the forest.

Chen Ping rode the eight-horned deer for thousands of miles and found a cave to stop.

The Sword Scar Monk in the storage bag only had a small half of the corpse, and the remnant soul could not be kept for long, and he needed to summon it as soon as possible.

After setting up the temporary cave, he immediately took out the small half of the corpse and immediately summoned the spirit.

After half a finger incense, the remnant soul collapsed.

Chen Ping let out a long breath.

'Hiss~,

Fortunately, I made the first move, and these three people were not ready to let me go. ，

'Obviously I'm just defending myself. ，

It turns out that these three people are from a big sect with Yuanying Zhenjun in charge, no wonder they are so arrogant. ，

Chen sat quietly and pondered.

In the conjuring just now, I learned that before these three people entered the Ling Xiao Sect, they had mentioned to their friends that the purpose of their westward journey was to go to Ling Xiaozi to meet the Qingjian Monk for a while, and on the other hand, to go to the Flying Star Gate.

Sooner or later, the news of the disappearance of these three people would reach their sect.

Losing a Jin Dan and a genius disciple, at that time, the sect will inevitably send someone to track it down.

If you follow the vine, you will definitely come to Lingxiao Sect.

There is a high probability that the mine duel will also be known.

This means that the Ling Xiao Sect will be the first to be suspected.

'We have to cut this problem off. ，

In the conjuring just now, Chen Ping also learned a detail that he didn't expect - that is, the relationship between these three people and the Flying Star Gate was not good.

This is beyond Chen Ping's imagination.

I had heard Yun Haitang mention this before

The next stop for the three of them may be the Flying Star Gate, they thought that they had a good relationship with the Flying Star Gate, and they were going to visit old friends.

Not really.

In fact, the sect they are in and the sect behind the new head of the Flying Star Sect are sworn enemies in the dark.

There have been many contradictions between the two sides.

Chen Ping thought about it and felt that he had to pull the Flying Star Gate into the water.

As for gotta give it a try.

Chen Ping thought that as long as he handled his tail clean enough, it would be impossible to leave evidence that he had killed the three people.

There is no evidence.

But suspicion is inevitable.

And the best way to dispel suspicion is not to disguise the evidence of your own alibi, but to create a murderer who is more like a murderer.

Immediately.

Chen Ping sorted out the belongings he had just collected, most of the belongings of the old man Jin Dan and Monk Qin had been destroyed, and only a small number of them were left intact.

As for the Sword Scar Monk's storage bag, it was a small storage bag with 2 squares, and most of the belongings in it were during the Qi refining period.

Total:

There are 6 high-grade spirit stones, 206 medium-grade spirit stones, and 209 low-grade spirit stones.

1 piece of intact jade.

Under the injection of Chen Ping's divine sense, he found that this was a third-order rune jade slip, which recorded several ways of drawing third-order runes.

I didn't expect this Jindan old cultivator to be a talisman master.

When I get the golden pill, I can use it for my own use.

In addition, there was also a third-order long sword of Brother Qin, which was not easy to look at, but Chen Ping didn't need it.

With the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Ancient Sword, this kind of long sword was his younger brother in front of him.

You can sell it though.

Chen Ping estimated that except for the spirit stone and the jade slip that he kept for his own use, the rest of the property could probably be exchanged for six or seven hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

Not bad.

As for the half-cut body of the Sword Scar Monk and the fragments of those robes, they can also come in handy.

After Chen Ping sorted out his belongings, he once again ventured back to the place where he had just fought.

Some of the remaining traces of the battle were collected.

Then release the eight-horned deer.

As long as the octacorn walks, seeds will grow, dead branches will regenerate, and flowers will bloom.

Moments later, the battle-damaged site was overgrown with weeds, and not even fresh soil was visible.

Then he left and entered the nearest city of Sanxiu.

After some side inquiries, a monk who secretly sold old things in the Fang Market took out a shabby robe of the Flying Star Gate.

The costume formations on this robe have been destroyed, and they are of little value.

But it has a special meaning for Chen Ping.

Then he returned to the vicinity of the Yunjia mine overnight.

Stopped less than a hundred miles northeast of the Yunjia mine.

After finding a place, after some scrutiny, dozens of mute notes were shot one after another, and then the scene was carefully destroyed.

It looks like there was a battle happening on the spot.

He then covered it with the soil he had just collected, and then took out the remains of the Scar Monk, shook it into powder, and sprinkled it on the spot.

After that, he took out the Flying Star Gate robe he bought, tore off the corner of the robe, shattered it as well, and spilled it on the scene.

At the end of the process, a Lingxiao Sect robe was taken out, and the most obvious logo mark in the robe was torn off, and the whole piece was buried in the soil.

After everything was ready, I returned to Xiaozhufeng overnight.

……

Following.

Chen Ping finished his retreat, state, and walked out of the cave, 'For the first time, when he heard that the Yunjia Mine had actually undergone this catastrophe, Chen Ping was furious.

But because the matter has passed, and the Zhuji who went to yesterday has returned one after another, Chen Ping did not go again.

"Don't go live and pretend?

On the small bamboo peak, Yun Haitang asked her husband with a smile.

"No, I'm not going. Haven't I just practiced 'refining', do I still need to continue to retreat and recover?" Chen Ping smiled.

Yun Haitang restrained her smile, looked at her husband, walked over, buried her head in Chen Ping's arms, and hugged Chen Ping tightly.

She had already heard Chen Ping talk about yesterday's events just now. On the one hand, she was shocked that her husband had adopted such a simple and crude method, and she was shocked that her husband was actually strong enough to kill Jin Dan.

It's incredible.

But on the other hand, she felt afraid of her husband in her heart.

That's Jindan.

Once you miss, you will never recover.

"It's all over, I'm fine, isn't it?" Chen Ping gently patted her on the back.

Ay.

Although this girl is the head of the family, she is a woman after all, and her ability to bear it is still a little weaker, and her pulse is still pounding.

I knew I wouldn't tell her.

"I know. I'm worried about you." Yun Haitang hugged Chen Ping, and only let go after half a sound, and said:

"During this time, I will ask the disciples to pay special attention to the reaction of the outside on this matter, well, send two more disciples to the scattered cultivation city outside the territory to also garrison for a period of time, if there is any news, I will tell you in time."

Chen Ping stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her thin waist:

"Be careful to stay hidden, so that no one can notice that you are deliberately inquiring about this."

"Hmm. I know."

「……」

In the following days, Chen Ping continued to cultivate on Xiaozhu Peak, while also silently inquiring about the news outside.

The mine duel gave a huge boost to the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect, especially the disciples of the Yun family, and the suppressed emotions were completely released.

This matter has been a matter of conversation among the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect for a long time.

This matter is an open and open competition, and it is Brother Qin who provokes and humiliates first, and it is not reasonable. Therefore, everyone is not too worried about the revenge of the sect where the three of them are located.

At least it won't embarrass the Ling Xiao Sect publicly.

As it turned out, everything was really calm afterwards, and nothing happened.

What they didn't know was that the three were dead.

What's even more unbelievable is that a month after the mine duel, two monks appeared in the southwest of the Western Wilderness.

And finally stopped at a place in the northeast of the Yunjia mine.

It was the scene of the battle that Chen Ping had reclaimed.

"What does Senior Brother Yuan think?" An old man with a goatee asked another monk beside him.

Senior Brother Yuan shook his head:

"What can be concluded is that Elder Evergreen and the two senior nephews have indeed returned to the Dao."

"But this is not the scene of a battle."

The old man with the goatee smiled and said:

"Oh? Why not live? All the clues here seem to be mixed with the traces of Elder Evergreen and the two teachers and nephews, how can you conclude that it is not the scene of the battle?"

Senior Brother Yuan knew that it was Senior Brother who was testing himself, so he said solemnly:

"There are indeed traces of three people here, and not only that, but also the fragments of the Lingxiao Sect's robes."

"Judging from the unannounced visits to the Lingxiao Sect's Scattered Cultivation City in the past few days, the three of them did disappear from the field of vision after the battle of the mines."

"There are all kinds of indications that the three of them are likely to be killed by the Ling Xiao Sect in retaliation here, and Wei Sui does have this potential strength."

The old man with the goatee smiled:

"Oh? Then why does the junior brother think that this is not the scene of the battle?"

Senior Brother Yuan said seriously:

"It's easy."

"It's too close to the mine, just a few dozen miles. A battle of the Jindan level broke out here, and it was impossible for the miners to be unaware of it. But dead people don't lie, which means that there is no way to fight of this level here."

The two of them have been investigating in this area for many days, and Ling Xiao Sect's Scattered Cultivation City has been to it, and they have also stolen it

Secretly killed two inconspicuous scattered cultivators and asked souls to inquire about the news.

Not only that, but the miners of the Yun family were also secretly attacked by them once.

In these overt and covert investigations, they basically figured out what happened that day.

And whether it is the side knocking on the side on the surface, or the soul questioning in the dark, the conclusion is the same - that is, there is no sound of fighting after that duel.

This is what Senior Brother Yuan said, dead people don't lie.

"And."

Senior Brother Yuan picked up the fragment of the Lingxiao Sect's standard robe and said:

"If this is really the scene of the battle, then it is obvious that this place has been carefully cared for, leaving almost no molded objects, and even rummaging through every corner of this place, not even a single spirit stone left behind. But only this fragment of the Lingxiao Sect's robe, where it happens to have its sect emblem, is intact."

"That's a coincidence."

Coincidentally, it's more like someone did it on purpose.

"Hmm. Not bad." The old man with the goatee nodded in satisfaction and added:

"And the old man inquired, Wei Sui is still experiencing the Jindan Tribulation at the moment, you and I both know that the so-called Jindan Tribulation, if you are not careful, you will die, and no one wants to be easily interrupted during the tribulation."

"Master Qin's nephew did have a duel with that Blue Sword Monk that day, but it was not a life-and-death feud. There have been two such duels between the Qingjian Monk and Lu Xiangbei before, and Lu Xiangbei is still alive and well."

"Wei Sui has no reason to interrupt the tribulation at this moment, just to take revenge on the three elders of Evergreen."

Moreover, in the unanimous opinion of the two of them, it was even more unlikely that it would be the Blue Sword Cultivator.

A formal contest and a life-and-death duel are always two different things.

Judging from the previous return visit information, the Qingjian Monk is a real foundation-building monk.

One foundation can win another foundation in a regular competition. But it is absolutely impossible to be one-on-three, and you can kill a Jindan real person.

The old man with the goatee looked at the boundless forest:

"In this Western Wilderness, those who have the motive to kill the three Elders of Evergreen, except for Ling Xiao Sect, are also Flying Star Sect."

"If this isn't the scene of the real battle, then someone must have done it on purpose."

"It is impossible for the Ling Xiao Sect to blame itself, so there is only one possibility."

Senior Brother Yuan nodded:

"That's exactly what the junior brother thinks."

"Flying Star Gate, what a vicious method."

The old man with the goatee smiled:

"That's not a bad thing. With the old man's figure, Xuantian Sect stretched out his hand to the Western Wilderness, which was already deeply understood by the head of our sect. Isn't this an opportunity? I'll tell you the truth."

"What the senior brother said is very true, and he should report it truthfully. As for how the boss does it, that's not something I'm waiting for." Senior Brother Yuan agreed.

「……」

……

Although Chen Ping is in Xiaozhufeng, he knows a lot about the outside information through the spies sent out by Yun Haitang.

When three miners in the Yunjia Mine died because they had collided with evil spirits, Chen Ping knew that Monk Qin's sect had come.

But there has been no follow-up since then.

Then, it was said that something happened to the Flying Star Gate, and the Great Elder Jindan died, not to mention, even the new head of the sect withdrew.

It seems to have returned to Nakajima.

Calm returned to the southwest of the Western Wilderness.

Chen Ping knew that this matter was over.

To be honest, it was very relieved to publicly lash out at the three of Monk Qin in the Yunjia Mine, but afterwards he was still quite worried.

After all, the layout outside the Yunjia mine was random, and he wasn't sure if the other party could find out there, and he wasn't sure if the other party could speculate on the various clues he had buried, and then locked the target of his suspicion on the Flying Star Gate.

This ending is of a Schrödinger nature.

Chen Ping was even prepared to abscond with Yun Haitang on the pretext of going out to experience as soon as something was wrong.

Running is not a foolproof solution.

This is the worst-case scenario.

It is also the most unavoidable plan.

Now it seems that the feud between the sect where Monk Qin is located and the sect behind the Flying Star Sect is not ordinarily deep, and the death of the three Monk Qin has become a fuse.

As for the truth, it doesn't matter that much.

In the quiet room on Xiaozhu Peak, Chen Ping drank a sip of boiled water, and his mood was unusually relaxed.

'It's comfortable. ，

Once the critical period has passed, it is impossible to find out anything later. ，

Now not only has the three of Monk Qin been resolved. On the contrary, the Flying Star Gate was also solved by the way. ，

It's a pity that I can't ask for credit. With such a big credit, if you really report it, you may be able to earn how many spirit stones and meritorious deeds. ，

Chen Ping was quite sorry.

But when you think about it, in fact, the biggest beneficiary is yourself.

The Yun family's mine was saved, and it was his daughter-in-law who benefited.

More importantly, the Qingyun Domain is stable.

This is the environment he wants most for his cultivation.

Now that you're stable, let's continue to cultivate. ，

'Strength is everything. ，
