Blue Mark Sect, inside the main hall.

Leng Xiao suddenly knelt on one knee and clenched his fists to accept the guilt: "Disciple Leng Xiao, go to Jiangxi City to clean up the ghosts, and fail to bring Senior Brother Xiao Wei back safely, please punish the Great Elder!"

Now the Blue Scar Sect, with Xie Yunlei at the top, temporarily assumes the position of the sect master and manages the size of the sect. And the Northern Stygian Kun, since the end of Mu Xun'an and the Taxian Bridge, has begun to retreat again, and it is not yet known when and when it will be able to get out.

Beside Leng Xiao, Gao Xin knelt on his knees, his face was ashamed, and he looked humble.

In the main hall, in addition to many elders, young generations with outstanding qualifications, such as Chu Tiankuo, Han Yue, Nangong Junwan, and Hong Xuan, also have the qualifications to deliberate, after all, they will also become the pillars of the sect in the future.

At this moment, Chu Tiankuo looked at Leng Xiao and said nonchalantly: "Senior Brother Leng, when you see the Acting Sect Master, you still pretend to be a gesture, don't you take the Acting Sect Master and the sect in your eyes?"

Leng Xiao didn't say a word, just waiting for Xie Yunlei to respond, then Chu Tiankuo was snubbed, and immediately looked unkind, and didn't wait for him to say anything, but Xie Yunlei waved his hand and didn't think too much about this matter.

Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo glanced at Luo Hai, and saw that Luo Hai also didn't care, so he couldn't help but give up, no longer speaking, and his face was slightly gloomy.

Xie Yunlei stepped forward to inspect Xiao Wei's condition, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "It was suffocated to death, Leng Xiao, and you will tell me in detail what happened that night." ”

Leng Xiao responded, that is, he told the story of that night, in addition to him, there were also many elders and disciples of the Green Scar Sect who went to other places where ghosts haunted, and he was the one who was born, and he only dealt with one Jindan ghost and damaged a disciple.

And many people in Jiangxi City were also killed that night, which is deplorable.

"The second Jindan ghost cultivator?"

"Yes, the disciple thinks that it must be when the disciple went to hunt down and kill the first ghost cultivator, the second ghost cultivator quietly appeared and killed Xiao Wei's junior brother. Leng Xiao said in a deep voice.

When Chu Tiankuo heard this, he couldn't help but jump his eyelids, and he really called Leng Xiao right, because he was the second Jindan ghost cultivator in Leng Xiao's mouth.

"What Senior Brother Leng said is extremely true, the second Jindan ghost cultivator who suddenly appeared is a few points stronger than the first cultivator, if it weren't for Senior Brother Leng to save him in time, even the disciple would have died at the hands of that ghost cultivator. Gao Xin also interjected.

Chu Tiankuo immediately retorted: "Great Elder, this matter is strange! Previously, Senior Brother Gao and Senior Brother Xiao came to report that there was only one Jindan ghost cultivator among the ghosts infested in Jiangxi City, so there was no need to worry, how could it be that after Senior Brother Leng went, something suddenly happened?"

"Moreover, if anyone dies at the hands of a ghost cultivator, he must have been drained of his essence, but although Senior Brother Xiao Wei lost part of his essence, he did not hurt the roots, and the disciple thought that if it was really the ghost cultivator's doing, he would not show mercy to his subordinates. ”

Chu Tiankuo's words fell, and even the elders bowed slightly: "Tiankuo's words are reasonable, there must be something strange about this matter." ”

Seeing the many discussions among the elders present, Chu Tiankuo's face was solemn, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart. Now that the Blue Mark Sect is Xie Yunlei in charge, Leng Xiao is famous again, and he worships Xie Yunlei as his teacher, which is already a threat to his status.

"Second Elder, what do you think?" Xie Yunlei set his eyes on Luo Hai.

As the master of the Torture Hall of the Blue Scar Sect, Luo Hai is in charge of many matters such as sect trials, punishments, and guards on weekdays.

Seeing Xie Yunlei asking at this moment, he couldn't help but glance at Leng Xiao up and down, and said: "There must be something else hidden in this matter, there is no trace left on the corpse, obviously the murderer also intends to hide." ”

"It doesn't make any sense for him to kill a disciple of the Blue Sprint Sect, he will definitely strike again in the future, so I'll just be more vigilant. Senior brother thinks that this matter will be put on hold for the time being, and it will be discussed in the future, I wonder what the Great Elder thinks?"

As soon as Luo Hai said this, Xie Yunlei couldn't help nodding slightly, Chu Tiankuo saw this, his eyes flickered slightly, but he said respectfully: "Great Elder, Second Elder, the disciple still has objections!"

Seeing many glances, Chu Tiankuo said: "No matter what, Senior Brother Xiao died in vain because of Senior Brother Leng's negligence, and this matter must not be spared." ”

When Gao Xin heard this, his face showed a hint of worry, he glanced at Leng Xiao, after Leng Xiao saved his life, he was also grateful in his heart, and at the same time he was afraid that this punishment would implicate him, so he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Great Elder, that night the second ghost cultivator was injured by Senior Brother Leng, and although he quickly escaped, he left two drops of blood. ”

The disciple didn't know if the ghost cultivator had taken away others or was dressed as a bad person, so he didn't think about it for a while, and he hoped that the Great Elder would forgive his sins. ”

When Xie Yunlei heard this, the long white hair trembled slightly, and he spit out a word: "There is such a thing?"

Luo Hai's face immediately sank, and he shouted at Leng Xiao: "Leng Xiao, why don't you hide such important clues?"

Seeing everyone looking at him at this moment, Leng Xiao couldn't help but be silent, but his eyes inadvertently swept over the elders, and stayed on Chu Tiankuo's face for a moment, and happened to see the sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The corners of Chu Tiankuo's eyes twitched, and he was slightly shocked in his heart, and he was a little suspicious, and he thought that Leng Xiao had noticed the clue.

In fact, since Leng Xiao was occupied by Mu Xun'an, there are not a few people who have hatred for Leng Xiao, and there are also many people who are happy with their appearance, and he is just one of them.

Leng Xiao said: "Second Elder Hui, when the ghost cultivator fought with his disciple that night, he was secretive and straightforward, and he did not reveal a single move, obviously deliberately hidden, for fear of being recognized by the disciple. ”

"But the disciples are shallow, and there are not many sects that they are more familiar with, only my Qingji Sect, Sword Pavilion, Lingque Valley, and Lanhui Sect, and beyond that, I don't know much about other sects. ”

"So the disciple thinks that the so-called 'ghost cultivation' must have dealt with the disciple, and the Lingque Valley can be ruled out, there are only women in the Lingque Valley, and the person is tall and strong, but the body is a man, and there are only three sects left. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "The disciple originally wanted to explain to the Great Elder in private, after all, the matter is big, and everything is just a disciple's speculation, and it is always not good to speculate without evidence." ”

Xie Yunlei nodded slightly, Chu Tiankuo also nodded, and said apologetically: "What Senior Brother Leng said is very true, but Senior Brother is not considerate, so he shouldn't ask more." ”

"What did the senior brother say? Leng Xiao paused for a moment and said slowly, "That night, the disciple injured that person, leaving two drops of his blood, and since this matter has been clarified, this evidence will be handed over to the elders." ”

Chu Tiankuo's face was still apologetic and serious, but at this moment, his face trembled, his eyes drooped, and a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

In his gaze, Leng Xiao took out a strip of cloth from his sleeve, there were two drops of dried blood on it, and Chu Tiankuo couldn't help but say: "Senior Brother Leng is afraid that he is thinking too simply, this is not essence blood, even if he casts the method of backtracking, it is difficult to find the deity." ”

There was a hint of difference in Leng Xiao's eyes, he glanced at Chu Tiankuo, and said with a smile: "How does Senior Brother Chu know that these two drops of blood are not essence blood?"

As soon as his words fell, Chu Tiankuo's expression suddenly stiffened on his face, and when he saw many elder disciples looking over, he couldn't help but say lightly: "What does Senior Brother Leng mean by this, don't you suspect Senior Brother?"

"Senior brother is worried, junior brother just said casually, and I hope that senior brother is not strange. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Tiankuo's mouth, and he said, "Senior brother should be cautious when he speaks, how can he say anything casually before such an important matter?"

"What the senior brother taught is that the junior brother remembers. Leng Xiao bowed his head slightly and glanced at Chu Tiankuo.

Xie Yunlei and Luo Hai glanced at the bloodstains, and there were mottled drag marks on the bloodstains, which were obviously wiped by Leng Xiao, leaving traces.

The strip of cloth was passed back and forth by many elders again, after all, it was as Chu Tiankuo said, and it was not of much use. Leng Xiao always paid attention to Chu Tiankuo, but when he saw that the dust had settled, Chu Tiankuo's expression subconsciously relaxed a little, although it was extremely small, it still fell into Leng Xiao's eyes.

The matter was settled, and in the end, Leng Xiao was not punished in any way, and when everyone left, it was not difficult for Leng Xiao to notice that the eyes of many elders were floating over him.

Luo Hai walked to Leng Xiao's side, paused, and said, "Be more cautious in the future, don't do similar things again." Before Leng Xiao could answer, he had already walked away, and his tone was cold and indifferent.

Leng Xiao sighed in his heart, he knew that many elders in the sect had a grudge against him, although he was strict this time, he did not really come to a conclusion, those two drops of blood, in the eyes of others, may also be evidence that he forged.

To put it bluntly, the more he justifies himself, the more sufficient the reasons, the more suspicious he becomes, just because he didn't catch the murderer, no matter how much he says, it's all empty talk.

Only Leng Xiao and Xie Yunlei were left present, and Leng Xiao's other leg also knelt down and said, "Master Fang Cai is acting as the sect master, please forgive the disciple for the crime of disrespect." ”

Xie Yunlei helped Leng Xiao up and said, "Why be disrespectful? Don't care about other people's nonsense." ”

Seeing Leng Xiao's hesitation, he comforted him again: "The elders in the sect may have misunderstood you, you don't need to care, use your mind more on cultivation." Xiao Wei's death, you don't have to worry about it, you can go. ”

Leng Xiao also retired immediately, but did not return to Yaoshan, hesitated for a moment, and went to the mountain gate.

Before flying to the mountain gate, the two guard disciples immediately saluted Leng Xiao and said respectfully, "Senior Brother Leng Xiao." ”

Regardless of whether they have an opinion on Leng Xiao in their hearts, they have to do all the work on the surface, plus Leng Xiao's qualifications are extraordinary, and he is Xie Yunlei's personal disciple, these ordinary disciples naturally dare not offend.

Leng Xiao smiled and said, "Two junior brothers, I don't know if senior brother ever left the sect yesterday?"

"It's a coincidence in this matter, yesterday Senior Brother, you just left the sect on your front foot, and Senior Brother also left, what's the matter, is there something wrong with Senior Brother Leng looking for Senior Brother?"

"Senior Brother will come back before dawn today, Senior Brother Leng will go to find it. ”

Leng Xiao nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, two junior brothers, senior brothers say goodbye." ”

The two guard disciples looked at Leng Xiao's back, quite unclear, but sighed in their hearts, Leng Xiao was still a wanted criminal some time ago, and was chased and killed by the entire Southern Regions, and at this moment he became a leader in the sect in an instant.
