Xiao Haisheng floated quietly in the air, looking at the cultivators below with a gloomy expression. The invisible pressure made it silent below.

"Xiao Shenqiang, the elder of our sect, died inexplicably. I must find out the whole story and give the deceased an explanation."

"I'm in a very bad mood right now. You'd better be honest."

Xiao Haisheng's eyes swept across the faces of the old man Zhuzhang, Liu Dachuan and Taoist Guanghong. As they are both masters in the foundation building stage, they are most likely to be suspected of murder.

Shan Ying stood behind Xiao Haisheng with a cold face, worried that Xiao Haisheng would blame him for Xiao Shenqiang's death, and also angry because of the death of his sect members.

Xiao Shenqiang is a member of Xiao Haisheng's clan and has always been Xiao Haisheng's confidant. With Xiao Haisheng's defensive character, this matter could be easily settled.

Two Shuangfeng Valley foundation-building monks who arrived with Xiao Haisheng led a team of law enforcement disciples into the sand monster's lair and began a careful search.

There is a special secret method for positioning between the same sects in Shuangfeng Valley. Xiao Shenqiang's body was quickly found and brought to Xiao Haisheng.

Although Xiao Shenqiang's body turned into an ice sculpture and was broken into several pieces, the marks on the body were still very obvious.

"Cold Poison Yin Lei, Liu Dachuan, what do you have to say?" Xiao Haisheng stared at Liu Dachuan with murderous intent on his face.

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Dachuan's forehead.

"Xiao Haisheng, please don't accuse a good person unjustly. Although Cold Poison Yin Lei is my Liu family's unique method, there are also a lot of Cold Poison Yin Lei living outside."

"Yes, Master Xiao, Brother Liu did not lie. Cold Poison Yin Lei is occasionally sold on the market. Who knows whose hands it ended up in?"

Taoist priest Guanghong was unwilling to confront Xiao Haisheng, but he still wanted to speak out for Liu Dachuan.

"It's hard to convince everyone if you want to pin the murder charge on Brother Liu based on only the evidence of Cold Poison and Yin Lei." The old man with a bamboo stick said nonchalantly from the side.

Xiao Haisheng knew that the three foundation-building monks opposite him were not without their followers. Even if he could subdue them for a while, he would not be able to deal with them arbitrarily.

"Hand over all your storage bags." Xiao Haisheng said viciously, as if he would take action if he disagreed.

Whether it was out of a hero's mentality of not taking immediate losses, or because they didn't want to offend Xiao Haisheng who was getting angry, the three of them swallowed their anger and allowed Xiao Haisheng to inspect his storage bag.

Xiao Haisheng and Xiao Shenqiang have a close relationship and know roughly what Xiao Shenqiang is carrying.

Xiao Haisheng carefully checked the three people's storage bags and found nothing.

Either the three people in front of them are indeed innocent, and there is someone else who killed Xiao Haisheng. Either they were smart enough and didn't covet Xiao Shenqiang's belongings.

Xiao Haisheng suppressed the anger in his heart and returned the storage bag to the three of them.

The old man with a bamboo stick took his storage bag and snorted disdainfully.

Xiao Haisheng glanced downwards.

The crowd below were all Qi Refining Stage monks who had accompanied the three Foundation Building Stage monks into the sand monster's lair. In the previous chaos, the losses were considerable.

Now, under Xiao Haisheng's strict order, all of them, including the Shuangfenggu disciples, were divided into groups according to the order of the sect and stood quietly below.

Xiao Haisheng gave an order, and the two foundation-building elders and a group of Shuangfenggu Qi Refining disciples who came with Xiao Haisheng began to search.

They searched everyone's storage bags according to the order of the sect, and even searched their bodies roughly. With the meticulousness of their search, not even a needle could hide it from their inspection.

The first ones to be searched were the disciples of the Liu family.

Coincidentally, a folding fan was found on a disciple of the Liu family.

This folding fan is just an ordinary first-level magic weapon, there is nothing surprising about it.

However, Shuangfenggu disciples who are familiar with Xiao Shenqiang all know that this arty elder carries around and often dances with this folding fan.

A Shuangfenggu law enforcement disciple held a folding fan and asked sternly: "Where did this come from? Did you kill Elder Xiao Shenqiang?"

Being accused of such a big crime for no reason, the young disciple panicked and stammered: "This, this, this is what I picked up from the sand monster's lair."

As he spoke, he cast his eyes for help above Liu Dachuan, the elder of the Liu family.

"I picked it up. I can pick up a first-level magic weapon so easily. Why can't I get such a good thing?"

Shuangfenggu law enforcement disciple said mockingly.

In full view of everyone, Liu Dachuan will never give up on his children.

"The sand monster's lair is so chaotic, it's normal to pick up a magic weapon."

Xiao Haisheng determined in his heart that the disciples of the Liu family were the most suspicious. He ignored Liu Dachuan's excuse and shouted sternly: "Continue the search."

The results of the subsequent search were far beyond everyone's expectations.

No more suspicious items were found on the Liu family disciples. However, a second-level magic weapon commonly used by Xiao Shenqiang was found on a disciple of Qingzhu Mountain.

As a result of questioning, his answer was the same as that of the Liu family disciple, he found it in the sand monster's lair.

Next, the search continued. Even the Shuangfenggu disciples who followed Xiao Shenqiang into the sand monster's lair were no exception.

The results of the search not only surprised everyone, but also made it difficult for Xiao Haisheng to step down.

Items belonging to Xiao Shenqiang were found on several sects and family disciples. Even the jade pendant that Xiao Shenqiang had kept close to his chest and never shown to anyone, and only a few people knew about it, was actually found on the body of a Shuangfenggu disciple.

Finally, under the panicked gaze of Zhao Renlong, the elder of the Zhao family, the small Foundation Establishment Pill in his storage bag was also found.

Xiao Haisheng was completely furious. The Zhao family, who had always been respectful, actually dared to make small moves behind the scenes.

Among the many vassal forces in Shuangfeng Valley, Xiao Haisheng felt that he treated the Zhao family well. Ten years ago, he even sold a small foundation-building pill to the Zhao family at a low price.

You must know that the quantity of the Small Foundation Establishment Pills refined by Shuangfeng Valley is not large, and even the disciples of the sect have difficulty in obtaining them. Many disciples have been waiting in line for years, but in the end they still get nothing.

Each small foundation-building pill refined by Shuangfenggu is wrapped in a special shell. There are hidden marks on the shell.

The small Foundation Building Pill found from Zhao Renlong was the one Xiao Shenqiang had prepared for his son.

Xiao Haisheng stretched out his hand and sucked Zhao Renlong's body in front of him.

"He is a wolf-hearted person who doesn't know how to be grateful, so he just gives up. He is so greedy that he can't satisfy his cravings, and he tries to get more than he wants."

"Master Xiao, I really found this elixir inside. Spare your life, spare your life..."

While shouting in terror, Zhao Renlong turned his help-seeking eyes to Zhao Yanbei, the head of the Zhao family below.

However, when Xiao Haisheng became angry, Zhao Yanbei led everyone in the Zhao family to kneel down.
