Although he didn't know his purpose, Zu An didn't want the Demon Sect to be implicated because of him. After all, both Qiu Honglei and Yun Jianyue were his good friends.
So he said: "Master, please don't be so hasty in making judgments. I seem to have made some discoveries here, which may not be the work of people from the Demon Sect."
Gao Ying and Pei You looked confused, thinking that it was not easy for the Demon Cult to take the blame. Why are you so troublesome?
Sun Xun was also full of doubts and couldn't figure out what his motives were.
Zu An said: "I just made some inquiries and it seems that the guards around Mr. Sun are missing a few people. Could it be that they took advantage of the chaos and escaped?"
Sun Xun shook his head: "It's impossible. The murderer has a very high level of cultivation. Many of the guards were killed with one blow. It's impossible for those people to escape. And I sent people to check the area for dozens of miles, and there is no trace of anyone escaping."
Zu An continued: "Is it possible that they colluded with the murderer and left with the murderer after the incident?"
"It's impossible." Sun Xun immediately denied, "These people are all reliable people carefully selected by the Sun family, and their families are still in the city. No one would take such a big risk to do such a thing."
If he is not a person who is loyal to the Sun family, he will not send him to his son's side, and there are family members as hostages, so how can so many people betray him at the same time?
"The answer is obvious," Zu An glanced at the corpses on the ground, "Those people were also dead, but their bodies were taken away by the murderer."
"What do you mean, Mr. Zu?" Sun Xun's expression changed. At this time, he suddenly felt that Zu An was not the murderer. After all, the purpose of targeting him in Xiaoyao Tower was mainly to vent his anger on his son. Now, if he can find the real murderer, he will feel a little proud. What does the fight mean?
Zu An said: "After the murderer succeeded, he could obviously escape on his own, but he still had to waste time and effort to take away the bodies of the guards. It is obvious that he had a reason to do so."
"What's the reason?" Even Gao Ying and Pei You were entranced.
Zu An glanced at the two people with satisfaction, and the praise was just right: "I just looked at the bodies of the other people, and they were basically killed in one blow, so he didn't need to deal with it, and the others were taken away to prove that they could be taken away from him. They identified him on the body.”
"Are you saying that the injuries on those people's bodies reveal their cultivation path?" Sun Xun was not a fool, and he reacted immediately.
"That's right." Zu An pointed to Yang Long beside him, "I just heard what you said, that he is a seventh-level master, but the spear in his hand was broken by someone head-on, which proves that the murderer's cultivation level is much higher than him. But. I just noticed that he did not die of homicide, but committed suicide by smashing the Tianling Cap with his palm."
"Why did he do this?" This was something Sun Xun was a little confused about, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully before.
Zu An explained: "Because he knows that he will die anyway. If
If you don't commit suicide, it will be more painful to stay. It proves that he knew that the murderer would torture him, but as you just mentioned, he rushed over not long ago. Then the murderer must not have time to torture people. Then he wanted to commit suicide for another reason. Mr. Sun has a high level of cultivation, but what's the matter? Any clues? "
Sun Xun narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself: "If you are not worried about being tortured, you may be afraid that life will be worse than death. Judging from their situation, the murderer does not seem to have used poison, then..."
Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "There are some evil cultivators in the world who practice by absorbing other people's skills or souls. Yang Long committed suicide mostly to avoid this, and if the other party needed souls, he would not commit suicide." use……"
Having said this, he hurriedly looked at his subordinates and asked them whether there were similar masters coming and going in Yi County recently.
He has an extremely high level of cultivation, at least level eight, and relies on the ability to attract people. Very few people can satisfy these characteristics at the same time.
As expected, the news came to my subordinates very soon: "The Taoist Thick Eyebrow, who is famous in the world of martial arts recently, seems to have appeared in Yi County."
Hearing this name, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he did not directly say the name just now was because people tend to be more convinced of what they infer.
As expected, Sun Xun said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to Xiaoyao Tower to verify whether Taoist Taoist Thick Eyebrows has participated in the auction today. The characteristics of his two eyebrows are very obvious, even if he is wearing a mask, it is easy to spot."
He had also heard about the thick-browed Taoist's methods, and thought that if it was really him, he would have to peel off his skin and cramp his muscles to vent his hatred.
"Yes!" The subordinate hurriedly rode away.
Sun Xun then raised his hand to Zu An and said, "Master Zu is indeed a prodigy in detective work. He found the direction in a short time. I have offended many people before. I hope you won't mind it."
He was sincerely grateful this time. After all, he was happier than anyone else to find the real murderer of his son.
"Master Sun, thank you very much. I hope Master Sun will express my condolences after something like this happened." Zu Anxin thought that you should really thank me, because to a certain extent, I avenged your son.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the vitality in his body was a little chaotic, and the violent and bloody intention seemed to be a little restless.
He suppressed it calmly, thinking that he would have to find time to purify and temper the skills of Taoist Taoist Thick Eyebrows, otherwise it would backfire on him sooner or later.
"Master Zu, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Sun Xun is a grandmaster after all, and he could feel that the fluctuation of the other party's vitality was abnormal at such a close distance.
"It's okay." Zu An forced a smile. Just when he was worried about how to explain, suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance, and then the whole sky became like daylight.
The expressions of everyone in the field changed. Strong winds blew, and those with lower cultivation levels could not help but stagger around.
"Is this... the aura of the Grand Master?" Zu An and Sun Xun looked into the distance in surprise.
Dozens of miles away, two people were seen standing in the sky over Yijun. One was an old man wearing a python robe. That was something only a prince could wear. He was obviously King Yan.
Opposite him was an incredibly beautiful woman, with waterfall-like long hair that reached her buttocks, and her whole person exuded the aura of a cold, royal lady.
"Yunjianyue!"
"The Demon Cult Leader!"
Both Zu An and Sun Xun recognized each other.
At this time, the alarm bell rang, and a guard hurriedly came to report: "Master Prime Minister, it seems that someone from the Demon Cult broke into the palace to assassinate the prince."
Sun Xun's expression changed drastically: "Quick, go back and support the prince!"
Then he said to Zu An and others: "My lords, please go back first. I forgive Sun for not being able to see us off."
At this time, Zu An said, "I'll go too."
Seeing the stunned look in his eyes, he hurriedly explained: "As an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I naturally have to do my part at this time, not to mention that I had a lot of dealings with these demon cult monsters in the capital, and I still have an account. It’s time to calculate.”
He was worried that something would go wrong with Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei. After all, Yi County was King Yan's territory. King Yan couldn't help but have many masters under his command, and he was a great master.
He was a little confused. Yun Jianyue shouldn't be such a reckless and impulsive person. Why did she do such an unwise thing?
However, I immediately thought that even the palace had dared to break into it before, and a Prince Yan's Mansion seemed to be nothing.
"Brother Ancestor!" Gao Ying and Pei You hurriedly tried to dissuade him. This is the grudge between Prince Yan's Palace and the Demon Sect, and it has nothing to do with the mission. They fought against each other's great masters. If you got a little bit involved in the aftermath, wouldn't you be destined to die?
"You go back and inform Mr. Sang first, and I'll go check out the situation. Don't worry, I know what's going on." Zu An warned, Yun Jianyue didn't know these two people, and he was worried that it would be bad if they were affected because of him.
Gao Ying and Pei You knew that he had always been calm, so they stopped trying to persuade him: "Okay, we will come together after we find Mr. Sang. Remember not to be impulsive."
Zu An nodded and followed Sun Xun and his party to the city. He kept praying in his heart: Sister Yun, Honglei, please be sure nothing happens to you.

I met Mars last night and asked you why he stopped updating. I originally thought he was also stuck, but I didn’t know he was not stuck at all. I have already thought about the subsequent plot, but sometimes I have too high requirements for myself and cannot be 100%. He would rather not write a satisfying plot. Well, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. If you feel that I am slow to update books, you can read Mars’s book. I used to like reading his books, but he probably doesn’t need my introduction.
