Chapter 67: The Mystery of Death
Three hours later, several masters of the Heavenly Star Martial Academy stood beside the corpse with solemn expressions.
At this moment, it was already dark, and several disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect held torches and shone on the corpses in the grass. The corpse's face flickered in the light of the fire, adding to the strange and terrifying feeling.
Master Hong said, "It's been at least a month since the corpse decomposed. Fortunately, in winter, the decay process is slow, and in summer, I am afraid that the face is no longer recognizable. ”
Liu Yanfeng said: "I asked the disciples of the Martial Academy, the people who have seen Wang Chaoyang recently are Xia Fan, Yuan Ye and Li Longyan, they drank together that day, and finally sent Wang Chaoyang home. Since then, Wang Chaoyang has never come to the martial arts academy again. Extrapolating the time, it was just over a month ago. ”
He looked at the dark night sky, thought for a moment, and said: "In the past half a month, the Wang family came to our martial arts academy twice to find someone, but we didn't know his whereabouts at all, so we couldn't tell each other.
"I also asked the Wang family what day Wang Chaoyang disappeared. According to them, it was the third night after returning home from the suburbs, and Wang Chaoyang went out to buy alcohol and did not return all night. They thought he had gone to a friend's house, which had happened before, and they didn't pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, he never came back.
So it seems that his accident happened that night. What happened that night?"
Liu Remnant Feng said here, looked at Wang Chaoyang's body, and said: "His spine was taken away, and he should have met someone from the Spirit Transformation Sect." Was this an accident, or was there something else hidden, and why did the Soul Conversion Sect attack him?
"I heard Yuan Ye say that a few people drank that day, and Wang Chaoyang had confided that he had fought with people in this sect before, could it be that the Spirit Sect had sought revenge here? But who leaked the information about his enmity with this sect?
"They were drinking that day, and I asked Yuan Ye how many people there were, and he said that there were only four, but his expression was wrong. I saw the clue, and after asking him repeatedly, he finally revealed that there was a distant relative with whom they were drinking. But since they are ordinary relatives, why do they need to hide it? It seems that this Yuan Ye also has a lot of secrets. ”
Master Hong said: "Yuan Ye is practicing martial arts in the martial arts academy, and his martial arts have grown rapidly in recent days. The use of the fist technique of the Heavenly Star Gate is better than that of others. I have noticed that when he is competing in martial arts, he will occasionally inadvertently use other martial arts. This person has a very good talent in martial arts, Xia Fan and Jiang Haoran had a martial arts competition before, and he watched from the sidelines, and he could repeat the moves one by one. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Originally, it is not surprising that there are other masters in the martial arts academy, but since such a thing has happened, his master, as well as the details of that relative, should be carefully checked." ”
Liu Yanfeng groaned for a while, and sneered: "Master and relatives, maybe it's the same person?"

The next day, Tianxingmen reported the murder of Wang Chaoyang to the officials, and the government investigated the case and informed the Wang family to collect the body.
But Tianxingmen did not give up the investigation, and successively found Xia Fan and Li Longyan for questioning. The replies of the two of them were similar to Yuan Ye's, and they promised that they had not revealed that Wang Chaoyang had intercepted the members of the Spirit Sect.
If what they say is true, then there are only two scenarios left. First, Wang Chaoyang himself said that he had left his mouth. Second, Yuan Ye's relative who was watching was seriously suspected.
Wang Chaoyang is a person, and several masters also know him very well. This person is simple-minded, impulsive, and likes to drink two glasses, and it is reasonable to lose his words after drinking in other places, which will lead to death. If that were the case, the case would be headless.
But after careful investigation, after Wang Chaoyang came back from Yandang Mountain, he never told anyone about his experience, at least, he never told anyone about it in Tianxingmen. Even a friend like Yuan Ye, he is tight-lipped, and it is unlikely that he will leak his mouth outside.
The most suspicious thing is that when he was drinking that day, Wang Chaoyang opened his mouth for the first time to tell about it, and within three days, he was brutally killed.
Liu Yanfeng called Li Longyan again and asked about the tricks used by Yuan Ye and the gang of Jianghu martial artists outside the martial arts academy that day. Li Longyan practiced Yuan Ye's volley double kicking move. Several masters looked at it, pondered for a long time, and shook their heads.
Master Hong said: "This volley double kick is not a wonderful move, many sects have it, and I also have similar moves in the intermediate martial arts of the Tianxing Sect. It's just that he didn't teach the disciples of the Martial Academy. Judging from this trick alone, what Yuan Ye learned was just ordinary martial arts, only slightly stronger than the disciples of the Martial Academy. ”
Liu Yanfeng nodded and said, "Maybe his master, when he taught him, also had reservations and never revealed his true sect. We can't find any clues in martial arts, so we can only think of other methods. ”
A trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Wang Chaoyang's death, although it has nothing to do with my Tianxing Sect, he is a disciple of my Martial Academy after all. Now that I have been harmed by someone, I can't completely ignore it. Although it is very likely that the murderer killed him for revenge, which is a personal grudge, it is also contempt for my Tianxing Gate. Let's find out, not only to avenge Wang Chaoyang, but also to maintain the prestige of our sect. ”

On this day, after the martial arts academy dismissed, Li Longyan and Yuan Ye came to the river together. Yuan Ye was a little sullen.
He looked at the river and sighed: "In the past two days, the masters have always called me for interrogation, as if Wang Chaoyang's death had something to do with me. It's inexplicable!"
Li Longyan said: "It's no wonder. Wang Chaoyang only told us that day that he intercepted the people in the Spirit Conversion Sect, and then he was killed, so of course Master had to ask for clarification. ”
Yuan Ye was quite irritable and said: "Wang Chaoyang, this guy, if you drink too much, you may talk nonsense, how do you know that he only told us? Maybe he has said it in public before, and then he drank too much and forgot about it." ”
Li Longyan said: "It's not impossible. It's just that after he told us, he was killed immediately, which is too much of a coincidence, and it is not unreasonable for the masters to be suspicious. ”
He said again: "Yuan Ye, has your master come back?"
Yuan Ye shook his head and said, "No." If he returns, he will leave me a message at the agreed place, which I have not yet seen. ”
Li Longyan hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a sentence that I probably shouldn't ask, that, is there anything special about the martial arts that your master taught you?"
Yuan Ye was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "No." I think back now that what he taught me was more of the skills of facing the enemy, that is, the general strategy; as for the specific moves, he also passed on some of them, but they were all loose moves, and they were all from various sects, not a complete set of fist techniques. ”
