Chapter 216: Bold Assumptions
Being able to be one of the judges of this sword conference, Ling Mofeng's strength can be seen in the rivers and lakes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info He has been in the middle of the sixth layer of the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion for many years, and his swordsmanship has already reached the realm of great success. The prestige of his famous stunt "Parting Sword" is even more deafening in the rivers and lakes.
But now, he was actually killed!
It can be imagined how amazing the martial arts of the person who killed him were!
Yan Long muttered to himself, "First Concubine Hua, then Ling Mofeng." These two people...... Both of these people participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Leaf Villa! Could it be that the remnants of the Corpse God Hall are carrying out a retaliatory assassination operation? Who will be the next target? Who is the murderer?"
Clueless......
Hearing such bad news, the mortuary looked even more gloomy, and there was no warmth even when the sun shone on the body.
......
Inside the ancient lotus pond.
Yan Long met Zhu Jiarou.
She stood quietly next to Ling Mofeng's corpse, like a statue standing in front of the gates of hell, bursting with irrepressible anger and murderous aura in complete stillness.
Ling Mofeng was originally a tall and strong man, but now he was almost a skeleton.
There is more than one wound.
He had at least seventeen or eighteen wounds all over his body, the deepest part of which was white bone, and the shallowest was only a cut on his fingers.
But the fatal wound was in the heart location.
A sword pierces the heart.
Ling Mofeng's "parting sword" was completely broken, like a piece of iron that had been broken by a blacksmith.
Just by looking at the corpses and broken swords, you can imagine the tragedy of the battle at that time!
Yan Long walked up to Zhu Jiarou's side.
Zhu Jiarou didn't look back, she just said in a gloomy tone: "When our people saw Fifth Brother Ling, he was already like this. He had an accident when he was picking up the disciples of the Sword Pavilion who came from the capital in Quarry Rock in the north of the city. "Among the swordsmen of Ling Xiao Sword Pavilion, Ling Mofeng has the most free and easy temperament, and his friendship with Zhu Jiarou is also the best.
Yan Long said: "County Lord, please mourn." When Ling Daxia was assassinated, were there any witnesses?"
"Yes, when Fifth Brother Ling was desperately pestering that murderer, there was a Sword Pavilion disciple who escaped! Unfortunately, after he came back, he only said a word, and then he died of his injuries. Zhu Jiarou asked.
Yan Long said, "What did the person who escaped say a word?"
"Ghost-faced man in snake armor, red sword!"
After hearing this, Yan Long took a deep breath and said, "County Lord, when Ye Yunxuan escaped from Red Leaf Peak, he was also wearing a snake-scale armor and a ghost-faced hood, and what he was holding in his hand was a blood-red soft sword. ”
Zhu Jiarou frowned and said, "Ye Yunxuan has been dead for several days, it can't be him!"
Yan Long said: "The murderer should also be a person from the Illusory Demon Palace, and after inheriting Ye Yunxuan's set of armor and red sword, he launched a retaliation against us. ”
Zhu Jiarou turned to look at Yan Long and asked, "Retaliation?!Why are you so sure?"
Yan Long said: "The Red Leaf Villa was broken because of Concubine Hua's undercover agent, as well as the joint attack of Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, the Sky Gang and Jinyiwei. After the Red Leaf Villa was destroyed, two of us had accidents one after another, and I couldn't think of any better motive for killing people other than the revenge of the Phantom Palace. ”
Zhu Jiarou said: "For this reason alone, it is not enough to characterize it as the remnants of the Illusory Demon Palace. ”
Yan Long continued: "Ye Yunxuan killed two female disciples of the Qingcheng Sect in the Qingcheng station, and the female disciple who died first became a dried corpse, just like Ling Mofeng and Concubine Hua. And the female disciple of Qingcheng that Ye Yun killed after destroying him was a normal death, don't you think it's strange?"
"You keep talking!" Zhu Jia judried.
"When Ye Yun died, he didn't wear that soft armor on his body, and he didn't hold the red sword in his hand. ”
"So what?! Maybe he'll put these two things in a safe place for the time being while he's on the run!"
"That set of snake scale armor can hide the breath and increase the power. The red soft sword had an evil power. Together, these two treasures are the best talisman, Ye Yunxuan is a shrewd person, how can he abandon it. Yan Long said.
Zhu Jiarou frowned slightly, and thought for a moment before saying, "You mean that before Ye Yun killed the second Qingcheng female disciple, he had already handed over these two treasures to the others in the Illusory Demon Palace?"
"Yes. Otherwise, if he put on his armor and use the red sword, Yuan Suiyun might not be able to kill him!"
Zhu Jiarou asked, "If that's the case, then who can he give these two treasures to in such a short period of time?" Although there are many people in the Sword Conference, the person who receives the treasures must be a person with extremely high martial arts, otherwise even if he has these two treasures by his side, it will never be possible to kill Fifth Brother Ling!"
Yan Long said: "In the venue of the Sword Conference, there are many masters, and there are also many people who have something to do with Red Leaf Villa. ”
"Who are you referring to?"
"Anyone who has received Ye Yun's treatment in the Red Leaf Villa is suspicious. And among them, there are only a handful of people who can kill Ling Mofeng!"
Zhu Jiarou stared at Yan Long and said, "What are you referring to Huayang Sword Sect Yu Zhenqing?!"
"I'm not sure, but he does have a major suspicion. ”
"Why?"
Yan Long first told him what Concubine Hua had told him about the Corpse God Technique.
Zhu Jiarou said: "Do you suspect that Yu Zhenqing is a corpse god?"
"In addition, even further, maybe he is the third Blood Corpse Manipulator after Ye Yun Xuan and Fang Lie!" Yan Long continued with a solemn expression: "Yu Zhenqing has been in Red Leaf Villa for three years, and his martial arts that were originally on the verge of being abolished have miraculously recovered, and they are even better than before. In the past three years, no one knows what has happened. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Jiarou sighed and said, "Yu Zhenqing is famous in the martial arts, and as long as he passes one more level, he will be the swordsman of the fourth layer of our Lingxiao Sword Pavilion. These words you say must stand up to scrutiny!"
Yan Long said: "The merits can only be known if you have checked them." I have always made bold assumptions and carefully verified, so you can rest assured, county lord. ”
"Then what are you going to do?" said Zhu Jia Judo.
"I'm going to find him first, and then I'll talk about it, and in ten days, it's the tiebreaker of the Sword Tournament. If the truth can't be found out before this, when he accepts the canonization of the imperial court and becomes the fourth-layer town pavilion swordsman of the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, things will be even more difficult. Yan Long said.
Zhu Jiarou glanced at Yan Long and said, "You seem to be more enthusiastic than me about investigating Yu Zhenqing's affairs?"
Yan Long sighed: "Yes, because after the Sword Conference, he will challenge Zuo Xingtang of the Qingfeng Sword Sect." At that point, I hope that the battle between the two peerless swordsmen will be a true gentleman's battle!"
Zhu Jiarou raised her eyebrows and asked, "Listening to the tone of what you just said, Yu Zhenqing seems to be difficult to find?!"
Yan Long sighed: "Alas, if he wants to hide, I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to find him." ”
