Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 234 Mysterious Killing!

Hehuan Sect, the Supreme Hall of the Chief Sect Leader.

Gongsun Xue, the leader of a sect, was currently sitting on a golden vine and silver silk chair, meditating.

As Liao Rujia's senior sister, she looks younger than the other.

There were two deep lines on her face, which gave her a sense of majesty without even being angry.

Gongsun Xue's Xuan Xiu realm is also much stronger than Master Liao's, and is at the peak of the third level of the Earth Crystal Realm...

At a certain moment, an elder who was in charge of the [Soul Jade Hall] came to pay his respects in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the soul jade of the outer sect elder Fang Jianfeng has been broken!"

[Soul Jade Hall] is a hall specially used by the Hehuan Sect to keep the [Soul Jade].

Inside and outside the hall, there are elders and disciples of the [Hun Yu Tang] who are guarding and patrolling day and night.

As everyone knows, cultivators with a certain status in the sect can deposit a strand of their soul into the [Soul Jade];

This method is widely used in various sects to determine the life status of sect members and whether they are good at any time.

If the [Soul Jade] is intact, it means that the owner of the Soul Jade will have no worries about his life.

If the [Soul Jade] cracks, it means that the owner of the Soul Jade is either seriously injured or infected with a serious illness.

For someone like Fang Jianfeng, whose entire [Soul-Retaining Jade] shattered, it basically meant that he was already dead...

"what?!"

Gongsun Xue was shocked and angry.

The sudden death of an outer sect elder is no small matter.

However, as the leader of a sect, Gongsun Xue naturally possesses a level of determination that ordinary people cannot match.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and asked in a calm but dignified tone, "Did Elder Fang's soul jade shatter suddenly, or did it crack slowly?"

"It collapsed suddenly."

Gongsun Xue narrowed her eyes upon hearing this: "That means he most likely died in an accident, not from old age!"

"Where did Fang Jianfeng die?"

"According to the direction pointed by the remnant soul after the Soul Jade shattered, it was approximately in the southeast direction, near the 'boundary monument' of the old forest."

After the elder of [Soul Jade Hall] finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "I have already sent a group of cultivators who are good at tracking, investigating and hiding to activate the teleportation array and teleport to the vicinity of the 'Boundary Monument' to investigate the scene."

"I believe that there will be a [Carrier Pigeon Message] soon, which will give a clear picture of the situation at the scene of the incident."

"Well, you did a good job."

Gongsun Xue nodded.

She was about to say something else, but she saw the purple jade pendant on the waist of the elder of [Hun Yu Tang] emit an enchanting red light.

"Has any news come back from there?"

"good."

"Look what was said?"

"Yes……"

In the elder's hand, the corresponding [Carrying Pigeon Message Talisman] flashed with light.

Then, paragraphs of text were printed on the letter paper.

Along with it, there were also low, secretive voices coming from the room.

"We were in the cave at the bottom of the tree and felt the scent of Fang Jianfeng's blood all over the ground. He is indeed dead."

"Moreover, his battle pet, the Five-Tailed Diamond Fox, which he was once most proud of but later gave him a lot of headaches after his own cultivation plummeted, also died."

"There was no body at the scene."

"There are no signs of a violent fight around."

……

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Master's brows were already wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.

But I heard the [Carrier Pigeon Message] continue to say——

"We found a formation used for instant movement at the scene of the spellcasting."

"But it was destroyed before it was used, so we can't find the other end of the teleportation array."

If Ding Chen heard the conclusions reached by these investigators, he would probably smile calmly.

Because, Ding Chen was like a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest, using Fang Jianfeng's teleportation array to teleport back to the menial disciples' hall without anyone noticing.

The elders and disciples who rushed to the scene to investigate the truth of the incident were confused by the arrangements made by Ding Chen before he left...

After the investigator has revealed all the results of the investigation.

Gongsun Xue's brows furrowed even tighter: "There are no signs of a violent fight at the scene."

"In addition, Fang Jianfeng had clearly prepared to escape, but he didn't even have enough time to do so. He and his lower-grade Xuan-level battle pet were both killed!"

"Based on this inference, the person who killed Fang Jianfeng must be at the Xuanhai Realm level 5 or above!"

"And we have to use a surprise attack to be sure of success, leaving Fang Jianfeng and his beast with no chance to resist..."

"Who could it be?"

"Avengers from a rival sect?"

"Or is he an internal staff of my [Hehuan Sect]?"

While Gongsun Xue was guessing at various possibilities, she said to the elder who was in charge of guarding the Soul Jade Hall, "Who did Fang Jianfeng come into contact with a few days before his death? What did he do?"

"I want to see a very detailed report!"

"Then follow the clues and check it out for me!"

"In short, we must find the murderer even if we have to dig deep!"

"Yes."

at the same time.

Ding Chen, the "real murderer" that Gongsun Xue wanted to find, just walked out of the door of the hall and ran into Wei Sanniang and Zhu Honghu who were dejected because they couldn't see him.

"Hey, I haven't seen you guys for a few days. Are you two doing well?"

Hearing the familiar and kind voice coming from behind them, Wei Sanniang and Zhu Honghu were startled and turned around quickly.

"Master... Junior Brother Ding?!"

"It's really like searching for something without any effort, but it's finally found without any effort~"

"Yeah, yeah, we thought we wouldn't be able to see you this time!"

The two were overjoyed.

"My dear, my dear, I am urged to prepare for the Ten Sects Competition. If I don't get to see you this time, it will be delayed for many days!"

Wei Sanniang took Ding Chen's arm and rubbed it as if no one was around.

Her charming face was full of intoxication, and she whispered in his ear: "Master, Master, I miss you so much~ Do you miss me?"

"Master, have you encountered any unpleasant things or run into any unpleasant people?"

"I'll help you sort it all out!"

"Oh, you're quite boastful."

Ding Chen curled his lips and rubbed the other person's head gently: "It seems that you have been doing well recently, very impressive!"

With Ding Chen's keen eyesight, he naturally saw through that the other party had already awakened the [Succubus Body].

"Hehe, it's okay~"

Wei Sanniang stuck out her tongue playfully, and then rubbed her proud part against his, saying with a smug look on her face, "After all, you are so powerful, Master."

"As your servant, I cannot embarrass you~"

"Well, that's good. Keep up the good work."

Ding Chen chuckled and said, "After your [Succubus Body] bloodline power is completely stabilized, Master, I will give you another great gift!"

What he called a great gift was naturally the heavenly-level skills and mystical techniques engraved on the stone tablet at the foot of the Hehuan Sect's mountain.

"Old Zhu, you are not bad either. After more than ten days of separation, your Dan cultivation realm has already reached the peak of the spiritual realm."

"There is only a thin line between me and becoming a 'Xuanjing Alchemist'!"

Zhu Honghu bowed deeply: "My humble achievement is entirely due to your guidance, lord!"

"Okay, get up and talk."

"Yes……"

The three of them chatted as they walked towards the mission location to guard the mutated elemental spirit.

Just as he was about to reach him, an elder from the Mission Hall suddenly came riding a beast, looked down at Ding Chen, and said coldly, "Are you Ding Chen?"

"Exactly."

"follow me!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and summoned the wood spirit vines, which rolled towards Ding Chen without any explanation.

"Hey, old man, why are you using your hands when you can just talk?!"

Wei Sanniang shouted with an unhappy look on her face.

"Where did you come from, rabbit...rabbit...cough cough!"

The elder of the Mission Hall wanted to angrily call the other party a "bastard".

As the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly discovered that around Wei Sanniang's waist was an identity card for the Hehuan Sect's "True Disciple"!

So, the words that he was about to blurt out were swallowed back!

You know, a true disciple, no matter in status or realm of profound cultivation, is comparable to an inner sect elder.

How could he, an outer sect elder of the Mission Hall, dare to show off in front of the true disciples?

"This true disciple... is a stranger!"

"Oh, I remember now. Recently, Master Liao accepted a female disciple. The female disciple was quite favored by the Supreme Master, who even taught her martial arts personally."

"I guess the new disciple named Wei Sanniang should be the girl in front of me, right?"

Thinking of this, the old man's expression immediately changed 180 degrees: "Ahem, sorry, I was indeed abrupt."

Zhu Honghu was stunned by her cowardly attitude, and thought to himself, "San'er is really different now!"

Over there, the outer sect elder was still apologizing with a smile: "I didn't know he was your friend, and I didn't mean to offend him. Haha, the main thing is..."

"Hey, let me tell you straight—"

"Have you heard of Elder Fang Jianfeng from the Menial Disciple District? He died suddenly."

"The Supreme Master has ordered that all people and things that Elder Fang had contact with in the past half month must be thoroughly investigated."

"Two hours ago, the disciple named Ding beside you accepted the mission issued by Fang Jianfeng in the Mission Hall."

"Someone saw him and another errand disciple following Fang Jianfeng."

"This is a serious matter, so I will personally take action and take Ding Chen back to investigate thoroughly..."
