Everyone present was originally a little unimpressed by Xie Yixiang's reasoning, but when they heard the name of the Divine Fire Sect, half of the people in the room gasped, and the more they thought about it, the more reasonable they felt. But I heard Xian Jingyue, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "Not necessarily, it seems that he is not going to use drugs and other subordinate means." ”

You must know that the "he" in Xian Jingyue's mouth naturally refers to words and thoughts, Xie Yixiang saw that his senior brother spoke, so he didn't say anything more, just waiting for Ye Dinggong to make a decision. I saw Ye Dinggong pondering for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: "I have already emphasized many times, this 'Taihu Lake Stresses Martial Arts' is a big matter, and we must not allow the slightest mistake! Even if Miss Xie San's inference is wrong, as long as there is only a single point of hidden danger, we will have to make a lot of noise, and we will investigate the whole thing clearly!"

Hearing Ye Dinggong's statement, it was obvious that "it is better to believe it than not to believe it", and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Ye Dinggong immediately instructed everyone present and said, "Since Miss Xie San has 'made a bold assumption', then the next 'careful verification' will depend on all the people present to verify all the medical practitioners on Xishan Island one by one to confirm whether it is true...... Whatever the outcome, protect them first!"

At that moment, everyone hurriedly counted all the doctors who came to the meeting, such as Ouyang Tea Master and apprentice, there were five or six people who had no sect and no sect of Jianghu doctors, in addition to the "Baicaotang" in Liaodong, the "Shennong Valley" in Huguang and the "Five Poisons Sect" in Miaojiang. According to Ye Dinggong's classification of "three manifests, one hidden and one gang", these three factions are undoubtedly the doctors and poisoners in the "one hidden", and they can be said to be people who are proficient in medical and poison arts. If someone really tries to use poison against the various factions of the martial arts during the "Taihu Lake Martial Arts" period, so they must first eliminate the doctors here, then these three major sects will undoubtedly bear the brunt.

At this time, the two factions of Baicaotang and Shennong Valley were still on their way to the meeting, and did not arrive at Xishan; on the contrary, the Five Poisons Sect, which is located in the remote Miao Jiang, was afraid of delaying the trip, so they dared to come early in the morning, and they had arrived yesterday and were arranged to settle down in the area of Duzhu Mountain at the northern end of Xishan, which was more than 20 miles away from Mingyue Village, where everyone was at this time.

Ye Dinggong did not dare to delay, so he instructed the people of Xuanwu Feihuamen to immediately lead the sergeants to set off, and be sure to intercept the people of Baicaotang and Shennong Valley respectively on the way, escort them safely here, and at the same time send people to find the Jianghu doctors who came to the meeting to ensure their safety. As for the Five Poisons Sect, without waiting for Ye Dinggong's arrangement, Xian Jingyue had already said in a deep voice: "I'll go first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xian Jingyue floated out of the house, and no one present could see his figure clearly. He knew that if Xie Yixiang's speculation was correct, then the Five Poisons Sect that had arrived yesterday was only afraid that it had already been poisoned, or it was at the moment of crisis, which could be said to be urgent. Xian Jingyue immediately breathed in his mouth, his feet sank, and he went all out to carry out light work, and the journey of more than 20 miles took less than a cup of tea, and it has run through the north and south of Xishan Island, and came to the foot of Duzhu Mountain facing the lake in the north.

It is said that this Five Poisons Sect was originally a Miaojiang sect, and it has always been famous for its Gu poison technique in the Central Plains, and it had nothing to do with the election of the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, but because he received an invitation from the imperial court, his sect leader couldn't bear to be disobedient, and still sent five disciples to the meeting. Since the major gangs in the Central Plains were all respectful of Miao Jiang's Gu poison, Xuanwu Feihuamen chose a remote place and arranged a group of five of them in several farmhouses at the foot of this Duzhu Mountain.

When Xian Jingyue came to the lodging of the Five Poisons Sect, the sky had already darkened, and there was a faint sound of crows chirping in the mountains. Before he pushed the door and entered the house, he noticed an inexplicable strangeness, and there seemed to be a faint sweet fragrance in the air. With Xian Jingyue's cultivation today, although he was not injured by Gu poison, for the sake of caution, he still took a deep breath in the open area, and pushed the door into the house with bated breath. I saw that in the first room, there were two blue-clothed people lying on the ground, with flower cloth wrapped around their heads and straw sandals, which was exactly the costume of the people of the Five Poisons Sect in Miaojiang, but now they have been pierced through the heart by a sword, reduced to two cold corpses, and they have been dead for two or three hours, not to mention their appearance.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Xian Jingyue suddenly froze, knowing that her junior sister was only afraid that she had guessed correctly. Although these Five Poisons Sect is not a medical sect, it is very good at using poison and detoxification techniques, and if there are really people who plan to use poison here, the first one will not tolerate them. He looked at the back rooms, and sure enough, he found three more bodies, also pierced through the heart by a sword. Obviously, the five disciples of the Five Poisons Sect who came to the meeting this time had all died here.

Xian Jingyue immediately released the summons fireworks of the pro-military governor's mansion, signaling that something had happened here. You must know that although the people of the Five Poisons Sect are not good at martial arts, their Gu poison techniques are well-known in the rivers and lakes, and the perpetrators can kill these five disciples in turn, and at the same time they can retreat with their whole bodies, so they must be first-class masters in the rivers and lakes. Thinking of this, Xian Jingyue suddenly noticed the sweet fragrance left in the air, and couldn't help but say, "That's not right. Although the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were killed, they had already released Gu poison before they died, otherwise there would not be this smell that has not dissipated so far, and the murderer was only afraid that he was already poisonous. ”

He took a closer look at the corpses in the room, and immediately found that a slender disciple of the Five Poisons Sect had his stiff right hand raised slightly, and his outstretched index finger seemed to be pointing; After thinking about it for a while, Xian Jingyue knew that this Five Poisons Sect disciple was most likely pointing out the direction in which the murderer was fleeing, and it was through this originally half-open window that he escaped out, so he knocked the fork rod to the ground, causing the window to close on its own.

So Xian Jingyue went around to the open space behind the house outside the window, and sure enough, there was a line of messy footprints, all the way to the mountain. He followed the footprints, and in a blink of an eye he was halfway up the mountainside, and then a corpse appeared in the grass by the roadside, it was a black-clad masked man, who had been dead for a long time, and a short sword fell beside him, and the coagulated blood stains were clearly visible on the blade. He picked a branch and picked up the black cloth on the corpse's face, but it was a strange man, not only with a hideous expression, but also with a green color of poisoning to death.

It is conceivable that this black-clothed masked man was the murderer who killed a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect under the mountain, but because he was poisoned by the other party during the murder, he fled all the way to this point, and finally died of poison, ending up with a lose-lose situation.

Seeing that this black-clothed masked man didn't know him, Xian Jingyue planned to go back and inform the people from the pro-army Governor's Mansion to investigate carefully. However, as soon as his mind moved, his whole body suddenly shot out like an arrow, and he jumped straight to a big tree next to him. As he stepped on the branches, he heard the rustling of the leaves not far away, and a black figure could be faintly seen walking between the branches and leaves, starting a light exercise towards the top of the mountain.

Xian Jingyue was slightly startled, he didn't want someone to hide in the tree and snoop, even he almost didn't notice it, it can be seen that the other party's light skills are high, and he is really a rare figure in the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, now he is the supreme realm of "twelve flows, eight veins are all connected", and light skills are not a problem, and then he also moved between the branches and leaves to catch up, following closely behind the man in black.

But a moment of effort, the two of them one after the other, have come to the open space on the top of the mountain, the man in black in front of him saw that he could not shake off the pursuit of Xian Jingyue, suddenly turned around, stopped in the wild running, landed on a branch sticking out of the cliff with one foot, and hugged his fist towards Xian Jingyue and said: "I was fortunate to see the demeanor of Jingyue Gongzi outside the Yumen Pass that day, and it was really the Central Plains Wushuang." It's a great honor to see you here today. The voice turned out to be a middle-aged woman.

Xian Jingyue heard this woman's strange accent, and mentioned the battle of Yumen Pass, so she stopped in front of the cliff and asked, "Who are you?" I saw that the woman in black pulled down the hood covering her head, but it was a person from the Western Regions with deep eyes and a high nose, about thirty or forty years old, and said respectfully: "My name is Fengyu Arzu, and I am a Xunyi knight among the envoys of the Eight Directions of the Divine Fire Sect. ”

Hearing that the other party's identity was revealed, it was a surprise to Jingyue first, and he didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually an envoy from the eight directions under the command of the Divine Fire Sect. It is said that on the day of the battle of Yumen Pass, the so-called "envoy from all directions" was indeed present, but he came with his words and thoughts, but because the situation at that time was too chaotic, he didn't have time to pay attention. At that moment, he asked coldly: "Do you want to confess the matter of killing the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect at this moment, or do you follow me to see Ye Dinggong of the Xuanwu Flying Flower Sect?"

But seeing that this woman from the Western Regions who called herself a "Xun knight" was stunned for a while, she immediately smiled and said: "Jingyue Gongzi misunderstood, those people from the Five Poisons Sect were not killed by me, nor were they killed by our Divine Fire Sect. I came here on the orders of the Sect Middle-Class Venerable, originally to save the lives of the Five Poisons Sect, but I was a step too late. ”

Without waiting for Xian Jingyue to speak, he only listened to the Xun knight continue: "I can't hide it, the Venerable Liujin of this sect heard that the 'Taishan Divine Needle' Ouyang Cha was killed in Xishan, and the two factions of Baicaotang in Liaodong and Shennong Valley in Huguang were also attacked in the middle of the road, and it is suspected that someone is setting up a situation behind the scenes, wanting to get rid of the people who are proficient in medical skills here, so as to use poison people in the 'Taihu Martial Arts', so he asked me to investigate the situation of the Five Poisons Sect in Miaojiang, so as to confirm his conjecture." In addition, if you happen to encounter someone who has done something to the Five Poisons Sect, then it is up to the perpetrator to see if you can find out who is behind the scenes. Who knew that Elder Miao of the Five Poisons Sect actually used the killing move of 'Ten Thousand Gu Devouring Souls' before he died, thus poisoning the murderous 'Seven Deadly Swords' and completely cutting off this clue. As soon as I found the corpse of the 'Seven Deadly Swords', you chased after me. ”

Hearing the explanation of the Xun knight, Xian Jingyue was reborn in doubt, and he didn't know where to start for a while. Regardless of whether the two factions of Baicaotang and Shennong Valley were really attacked halfway, and regardless of whether the black-clothed masked man who killed the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect was the famous killer of the underworld "Seven Deadly Swords", just based on the few cases that had happened, the Shenhuo Sect had come to the same inference as Xie Yixiang, if it was someone else, he would not believe it, but it was very likely that he was a Liujin Venerable. If the Xunqi knight in front of him was not lying, then the Divine Fire Sect was not only innocent in this matter, but also stood on the same side as the Xuanwu Feihuamen, all of them wanted to find out and stop the culprit behind the whole thing?

Seeing that Xian Jingyue didn't speak, the Xun knight immediately exerted his strength under his feet, and his body had risen and fallen slightly with the branches stretching out of the cliff, and he said: "Since the Xuanwu Feihuamen is the host of this martial arts conference, now that I have brought my words, then the next matter of investigating the case and arresting the murderer will have to be thought about by you more." If there is nothing else to do, then I will go first. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the Xun knight on the branch suddenly felt cold, and her hands and feet had no strength, but she was attacked by the murderous aura of the first Jingyue sacrifice, which suddenly made her unable to move. I only heard Xian Jingyue ask slowly: "Sect Master of your sect and Venerable Liujin, where are you right now?"

The Xun knight was quite stubborn, shook his head and said: "Jingyue Gongzi's question is too stupid, let me ask Xuanwu Feihuamen to think about the martial arts alliance leader of the Central Plains, but did not invite our Shenhuo Sect to the meeting, as an uninvited guest, how can we reveal our whereabouts to you? But Gongzi can rest assured, my Shenhuo Sect wants to compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I will follow the rules of the rivers and lakes and participate in this 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts Lecture' in a bright and bright manner, so that the entire Central Plains martial arts will be convinced!" If the son is not convinced, he can compete with the Gongsun Sect Leader of this sect in front of the heroes of the whole world during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and win or lose the battle, so why embarrass my little role at this time?"

Seeing that she said this loudly, Xian Jingyue was not inferior to her eyebrows, so she immediately put away her murderous aura and said, "You go." The Xun knight was slightly stunned, only to feel that the chill around him was gone, and hurriedly said: "Jingyue Gongzi is really atmospheric, no wonder the Venerable Liujin of this sect often says that although the Central Plains martial arts are big, you are the only real hero." ”

But I heard Xian Jingyue say lightly: "You are wrong. Let you go because I never knife a woman. The knight was stunned again, and immediately did not dare to say more, and as soon as his figure moved, he slipped straight down the cliff, leaving only a slightly swaying branch.
