Zhang Hu swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, there have been frequent exchanges with the Cheng family in the past few days, and yesterday a black-robed man entered Cheng Yuan's room. ”

"Oh, the black-robed man, do you see your appearance clearly?" asked Cheng Ling.

"I couldn't see clearly, the people who came were all covered in black robes, and I could only faintly hear their voices. ”

"What did they say?"

They spoke in a very soft voice, and they couldn't really hear it, except for two cuts when they entered the door. ”

"Incision?" Cheng Ling's heart moved, the two groups of people who ambushed him and Xuan Lingzi back then were also the right underworld incisions, are they related?

He asked, "What did they say?"

Zhang Hu said: "I only heard the people inside ask: 'Bee sparrow, which door are you?' and the black-robed man replied, 'The sea thorn of the Mokemen!' The people in the door let the black-robed man walk in!"

Cheng Ling thought in his heart, according to this black language, it should be the representative of the Cheng family, and he is not an ordinary person, and the person who can use the term "sea thorn" should be a figure at the elder level of the Cheng family.

He nodded and asked, "You did a good job, what happened to the other Supreme Elders?"

Zhang Hu said: "Xuan Taishang and Xiao Taishang are nothing special, it's just that Yang Taishang, who went out to the sect a few days ago, and later brought a middle-aged man back, only saying that he was a good friend. We didn't dare to ask, so we let him in. ”

"Middle-aged man, what does he look like?"

"It's very ordinary, it's almost the same as ordinary people, but it looks like the cultivation is very high, and when I saw it that day, I couldn't see the cultivation clearly, and it was speculated that it should be the Yuan Infant Period. ”

Cheng Ling was silent, Cheng Yuan needed the support of the Cheng family, which was reasonable. But how could Yang Sen suddenly have a friend visiting? Recently, with his own support, Jiantang has regained its momentum, which is not at all inferior to that year, what is his purpose?

He thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only send Zhang Hu back and decided to go to investigate by himself at night.

As the night approached, the low dark clouds covered the overhead, and the weather was very hot, which was obviously a sign of the rainstorm.

Cheng Ling was wearing a night suit and quietly came to Cheng Yuan's room. The defensive formation of the Shutang was nothing but a void for him, and he didn't need any strength at all, so he could easily enter.

The breath technique worked, and he stood out of the window like a statue, silent. Gathering his ears, soon, the sound of speech came from the side room.

"I understand what the head of the family means. But now that kid has become the sect master, it's really hard to start. ”

"Hall Master Cheng, I see that you have been a hall master for too long, and you have completely forgotten the task assigned to you by the family. When Cheng Xueyao was there, you missed the opportunity, and now if you don't take advantage of his unstable foothold and make the first move, when will you wait?"

"But I'm not his opponent at all, he even defeated Liu Ming, what can I do?"

"What if you add me? Moreover, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few years, and he must have obtained the exercises in that secret book!"

"But he has a marriage contract with Miss, and he is favored by Liu Taishang, how can he do it easily? Let me think about it again!"

The black-robed man was angry and said: "Cheng Yuan, don't think that if you call the hall master, you really think that you are a character, if it weren't for our support, you would have your current status?" It's been so many years, the task entrusted to you by the patriarch has not been completed, you really want to experience the criminal law in the clan!"

Cheng Yuan also said angrily: "If it weren't for your rash actions and failed to ambush and kill, how could you be in today's realm."

Earth. Recently, Liu Taishang has complained a lot about the Shutang, and his momentum is not as good as before. ”

Cheng Ling had a loud bang in his head, and sure enough, the Cheng family was really one of them. Today, the clues are finally revealed, the Cheng family, I will definitely avenge the master's revenge!

He didn't have the heart to listen any longer, and quietly left the room.

Not long after he left, two people who were also dressed in black robes quietly walked over. Cheng Ling faintly felt that his divine sense seemed to have swept something, but in order to hide his figure, his divine sense did not dare to release too much, so he missed it.

The next day, Cheng Ling was teaching swordsmanship on the square in front of the sect master's hall. A disciple ran over and said in a panic, "Sect Master, it's not good, Senior Brother Ling Xiao was killed in his residence!"

Cheng Ling was shocked in his heart, Ling Xiao was killed, and he was still in his own residence, which was simply unbelievable.

You must know that Ling Xiao is a Jindan consummate cultivator, and in the entire Wuxiang Sword Sect, in addition to a few Supreme Elders, only a few people such as himself, Cheng Hongjie, Cheng Honggang, and the Xiao brothers have the ability to kill him.

Liu Ming and Liu Wen left the sect after the competition. They were originally invited by Yang Sen to help with the fist, maybe Liu Ming had other purposes, but in the end, they were defeated by Cheng Ling, and he looted all the spirit stones and treasures on his body, and he had long lost the courage to stay.

Therefore, without waiting for Cheng Ling to succeed him, he left early. The remaining Taishang, Xuan Wuxiang, and Xiao Yan couldn't attack Ling Xiao, after all, they all belonged to the martial arts. In the same way, the Xiao brothers will not make a move against Ling Xiao.

Then the only thing left is the Cheng brothers of Shutang. Just as he was confirming, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a group of people were still missing, that is, Yang Sen and his friend!

But Yang Sen and Ling Xiao don't have any grudges, not to mention the Elder of the Aether, it is impossible for him to kill Ling Xiao with his own hands, who is that?

He pondered for a long time and said to the disciple, "Let's go, I'll go to Ling Xiao's residence to have a look, and you go and inform a few Taishang and hall masters." ”

And the disciple took the commandment.

Soon, Cheng Ling came to Lingxiao's residence. I saw him slumped on the ground, his face pale, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and an inch-long wound on his chest.

Cheng Ling gestured, and the width of the wound was the same as that of the sword. But he didn't easily draw conclusions, and he wasn't sure whether Ling Xiao was killed by the sword weapon. It is very likely that another sword was added after death, creating the illusion of a sword wound.

However, he had no other wounds on his body, and the wound to his chest was fatal. He groaned secretly, quietly put his palm on Ling Xiao's chest, felt the touch on his hand, and found that his ribs seemed to be broken, and there was also a sunken area on his chest, which looked like a palm print.

At this time, several Taishang and the hall master came to the wing. When they saw Cheng Ling squatting on the ground, Xuan Wuqi rushed over first, and said sadly: "Xiao'er, who is it, who is the murderer? The master will definitely avenge you!"

Cheng Yuan said indifferently: "Xuan Taishang, don't be sad first, we must find out who killed Ling Xiao." ”

Cheng Honggang sneered: "What else to investigate, isn't it obvious? Ling Xiao has a sword in his chest, and the one who can kill him must be a master of swordsmanship." In the sect, I am afraid that the number of people who can kill them is less than a palm!"

Cheng Ling sneered, this Cheng Honggang reacted so quickly, and immediately deducted a basin. In the Phaseless Sword Sect, the masters of the Sword Hall withered away, leaving only Yang Sen as a Supreme Elder, and even Liang Fa was not necessarily Ling Xiao's opponent.

Then the last thing left is the sect master himself. With his swordsmanship, it was more than enough to kill Ling Xiao.

There is no phase

With tears in his eyes, he looked up and glanced around, then shook his head and said: "Impossible, Xiao'er's cultivation, there are very few people who can kill him, and it is absolutely impossible for people from the sect!"

Xiao Yan said: "If it weren't for the people of the sect, who would be able to easily enter Ling Xiao's wing?

Xuan Wuxiang was stunned, turned his head to Cheng Ling and said, "Sect Master, what do you think?"

Cheng Ling said: "Don't worry about Xuan Tai, Senior Brother Lingxiao's death is a little strange. I heard that Yang Taishang once had a friend who came to the sect, why didn't he introduce him. ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at Yang Sen.

Yang Sen coughed dryly and said, "Sect Master said that it was a friend I knew in the early years who came to visit recently. Because it was a personal friend, I didn't explain it to the sect master, and besides, my friend was not good at swordsmanship. ”

Yang Sen cleaned up the suspicion in three or two sentences, and kept the whereabouts of his friends secret.

"Although it is Yang Taishang's personal friend, but now that the sect has changed, let's invite him to come over and have a look, I don't know if Yang Taishang agrees?"

Cheng Ling clenched his grip, this person is too mysterious, his cultivation is high, and it is definitely not simple. Take this opportunity to see what happens.

Yang Sen had the intention to refuse, but everyone focused their attention on him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, a long laugh came: "Since Sect Master Cheng has an opinion and sees Xiao, then I will come and take a look, so as to prove my innocence!"

Everyone looked towards the door of the wing room, and saw a middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth walking in. Cheng Ling raised his eyes and found that this person had an uncomfortable feeling, like the villain with a treacherous face seen in the TV series.

He is the sect master, and he naturally deals with external contacts. He arched his hand slightly, and said: "The predecessor came to my Wuxiang Sword Sect, and he missed the distance, which is really Cheng Ling's rudeness, dare to ask how to call it?"

The middle-aged man smiled evilly and said, "It's okay, it's in Xiao Changtian." This time, I came to visit my old friend in a private capacity. Sect Master Cheng is busy, so he won't bother!"

Xiao Changtian's surname is Xiao again, which is really interesting. There is a Xiao family in the south, and the two secret helpers of Xuan Wuxiang are also surnamed Xiao, Liu Qingyan also knew a person surnamed Xiao back then, and the man who was with Cheng Xueyao was also surnamed Xiao.

Who is this Xiao Changtian, and does he have any connection with one of them? All the doubts point to this surname, Cheng Ling couldn't help but become cautious, and asked, "Hello Senior Xiao, I don't know what connection you have with the Xiao family in the south?"

"Hehe, the Southern Xiao family, that's the top family, Xiao doesn't dare to climb high. Sect Master Cheng didn't have to doubt that Xiao was just a casual cultivator, and it had nothing to do with any Xiao family. ”

Cheng Ling was noncommittal, intuitively, what Xiao Changtian said was definitely not the truth, but he couldn't catch the sore feet, and he couldn't force him as the sect master, so he could only expose it temporarily!

However, Ling Xiao's death in front of him always has to come up with a charter. If Xiao Changtian is not suspicious, then the rest are the people in the sect!

He said to Xuan Wuxiang: "Xuan Taishang, can you hand over Senior Brother Ling Xiao's body to me for safekeeping, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

Xuan Wuxiang was about to nod, but Cheng Yuan, Yang Sen, and Xiao Yan said at the same time: "No!"

For a while, everyone in the wing room looked at them in surprise, did they suspect that Cheng Ling killed them?
