"Brother Shangguan, what's wrong with this sword?" Xia Houhe asked curiously after seeing Shangguan Ming's strange expression.
"My nephew Chen Kai disappeared for no reason a year ago. Do you still remember that this sword was his sword." Shangguan Ming replied heartbrokenly.
"Then isn't Master Chen Kai..." Xia Houhe couldn't help but say.
"This Sun Kang is so audacious. I'm afraid many of the disciples who have disappeared in recent years have something to do with him. What a traitor!" Shangguan Ming said angrily.
Xia Houhe frowned and said, "This man behaves normally, and there is nothing unusual about him. I didn't expect him to be such a vicious person, killing his fellow disciples secretly. He really deserves to die!"
"Liu Yu, you eradicate these scum for the sect. When your uncle reports to the sect, the sect will definitely record your great achievements!" Shangguan Ming said to Liu Yu.
"Thank you, uncle!" Liu Yu thanked him respectfully.
"You brought glory to the sect during the last Mid-Autumn Festival Spirit Controlling Competition. The reward has not been determined yet. In addition, you have meritorious service in killing the traitor this time. It is very good. The sect will not treat you badly. Work hard!" Shangguan Mingpai He patted Liu Yu and said encouragingly.
"These are what disciples should do." Liu Yu quickly replied.
"This magic sword is the stolen property of Sun Kang who murdered his fellow sect. It will be taken back by my uncle. You can handle the rest by yourself!" Shangguan Ming put away the "Blue Tide Sword" and handed Sun Kang's storage bag to Liu Yu. said.
Shangguan Ming plans to ask someone to return this "Blue Tide Sword" to Chen Kai's family. The Chen family is a small family in the Yue Kingdom. Chen Kai's disappearance has dealt a huge blow to the Chen family. This "Blue Tide Sword" is considered a fine product. , worth at least three thousand low-level spiritual stones, which can be regarded as Shangguan Ming's heart.
Liu Yu naturally didn't dare to say anything. He took the purple storage bag and handed over Liang Zheng and He Anqing's storage bags.
"Liu Yu, are you not hurt? Uncle, do you want me to take a look at it?" Shangguan Ming asked with concern when he saw Liu Yu's expression was extremely poor.
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. The disciple only suffered some internal injuries and can be treated with a little care. However, Senior Sister Fang was injured by Sun Kang and her injuries are extremely serious!" Liu Yu said worriedly. Liu Yu's Qi and color were poor, firstly because the meridians were damaged and the essence in the body was insufficient, and secondly because he was extremely tired after spending several days wearing the stars and the moon.
Xia Houhe chuckled and said, "Don't worry! Senior Brother Yuanhua has superb medical skills, and Fang Lanlan will definitely be cured!"
Shangguan Ming also nodded and said: "Senior Brother Yuanhua took action personally, don't worry! Go down and rest!"
"That's great, disciple, please leave!" Liu Yu handed over his hands and was about to leave.
Xia Houhe said to Liu Yu at this time: "This matter will damage the reputation of the sect and should not be made public."
"Disciple understands, please rest assured!" Liu Yu replied respectfully, and then left the wing.
"Brother Shangguan, what do you think about this? Is it really like what Liu Yu said?" Xia Houcho looked at the three corpses on the ground and said.
Shangguan Ming said solemnly: "Although Liu Yu and Fang Lanlan are also suspected, I still feel that Liu Yu did not lie. This matter should be that Sun Kang was harboring evil intentions and colluding with criminals to murder Liu Yu and others."
Xia Houhe frowned and said, "Could it be that Liu Yu and Fang Lanlan colluded with outsiders to kill Sun Kang, Liang Zheng, and He Anqing, and confuse right and wrong?"
"When Liu Yu first arrived in Beiluan City, Fang Lanlan was seriously injured and her life was in danger. It shouldn't happen, but it's not impossible." Shangguan Ming nodded.
Xia Houhe squinted his eyes and said: "With the "Spirit Burning Powder" in his body, he was only at the seventh level of qi training. When Liang Zheng was killed first, he was able to fight back without hesitation. He killed three people in a row and escaped. This is an achievement in itself. It’s unconvincing.”
Shangguan Ming pondered for a moment and said: "There are indeed some doubts. Brother tomorrow, I will take Liu Yu to the cave he mentioned to investigate and inquire about the specific details to see if there are any discrepancies."
"That's very good!" Xia Houhe nodded in agreement.
Xia Houhe pointed to the three corpses on the ground and said, "Senior brother, what should we do with the bodies of Sun Kang, Liang Zheng, and He Anqing?"
Shangguan Ming said helplessly: "We will move it to the mourning hall in Zhongqi Garden and wait until my brother comes back!"
Liu Yu said goodbye to Shangguan Ming and Xia Houhe, and rushed to the quiet room where Fang Lanlan was being treated. He was stopped by the guarding disciples, so he could only return to his residence in Qian Xueyuan, and soon fell asleep. He had been tense these days. Extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.
The next day, Shangguanming sent someone to look for him. Liu Yu packed up a little and left the house. After the meeting, Shangguan clearly explained his intention and summoned his mount "Cloud-Piercing Eagle" to carry Liu Yu out of Beiluan City and flew towards the cave in the mountains.
A "ga" sound resounded through the sky. The Cloud-Piercing Eagle carried Shangguan Ming and Liu Yu soaring high in the sky, shuttling between the misty clouds and mist. The Cloud-Piercing Eagle was huge, with its wings spread out about three feet long, and its whole body was covered in black. Gang Yu has sharp eyes and fierce momentum.
Shangguan Ming's Cloud-Piercing Eagle is a fourth-level spiritual beast, which is equivalent to the cultivation level in the early stage of foundation building. It is extremely talented and extremely fast. It sits cross-legged on the Cloud-Piercing Eagle's soft downy back. It is very stable and comfortable. Cloud-Piercing Eagle The emitting spiritual shield blocked the cold wind from high altitude.
Liu Yu couldn't help but be envious. A powerful spiritual beast like the Cloud-piercing Eagle was extremely powerful in combat. It was a great help. They could jointly defend against enemies and travel on their own. If he could have such a spiritual beast, that would be great. Too faceless.
The Cloud-piercing Eagle flew for a day and night in the direction directed by Liu Yu. After some searching, Liu Yu and Shangguan Ming successfully found the "Cloud Cave".
"Is this right here?" Shangguan Ming looked around and said at the hole covered with weeds.
"Uncle, that's it." Liu Yu nodded and replied.
Shangguan Ming said no more and walked directly into the cave. Liu Yu followed closely behind, passing through the narrow corridor and arriving at the dark hall. A pungent rotten smell floated in the air.
Shangguan Ming used the "Spiritual Day Technique", and the bright white light ball flew rapidly into the hall, and then exploded into dots of spiritual light floating everywhere, and the entire cave was illuminated like daylight.
"Ouch~~" A leopard the size of an ox and covered with spots was lying next to a wreckage, grinning at Shangguan Ming and Liu Yu, with strips of meat hanging from the corners of its mouth. Apparently, the two of them had disturbed the leopard's meal.
"Uncle, be careful!" Liu Yu took out the flashing red sword and was about to step forward.
"No problem! It's just a "Leopard"." Shangguan Ming waved his hand.
At this time, the Hualin Leopard's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he rushed toward the two of them. Shangguan Ming waved his left hand, and the attacking Hualin Leopard flew backwards and slammed to the ground. It trembled for a moment and then died.
Shangguan Ming released the Cloud-piercing Eagle that he had just put away from the spirit beast bag. The Cloud-piercing Eagle spread its wings and walked towards the body of the Hualin Leopard. It looked extremely excited and made a "gu, gu" sound, preparing to Have a great meal.
