"Madam——"
"Why did you go like this! Leaving me... and the leader alone in the world..."
"A lonely grave thousands of miles away, no place to speak of desolation——"
In the Honghe Sect outside Wandu Mountain, in a manor with fluttering white silk, everyone was dressed plainly and a funeral was being held.
An old man with a long beard lay lying in front of the soul, crying so heartbrokenly and hysterically that the people around him looked sideways and couldn't help but sigh.
"The relationship between Elder Chen and the head... Madam is so deep."
On the side of the family, Zhao Duanyang, the leader of the Honghe Sect, sat quietly. He looked about forty or fifty years old, with dark complexion and a taciturn nature. To be able to gain a foothold in a place like Ten Thousand Poison Mountain, the person in charge of the sect is somewhat sinister.
Seeing Elder Chen's expression as if he were mourning for his heir, Zhao Duanyang endured it for a long time, and finally he could only hold back a cold "hum".
Although it's okay to cry for the leader's wife, six people from the Red River Sect died in total, and it seems a bit strange that you only cry for her...
Elder Chen seemed to have heard what he said, and turned to cry again: "And my poor... young master, you are only in your twenties, and you haven't had the chance to see the scenery of this world, why did you suffer the same fate? Poisonous hand..."
"Why does God have to send people with white hair to people with black hair..."
Someone behind him couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Elder Chen, the leader is still watching."
"Ah——" Elder Chen suddenly woke up and shouted loudly again: "I'm just crying for the leader!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Duanyang flicked his sleeves and wanted to get up and leave.
He had long suspected that his wife was having an affair with Elder Chen, and he had just started investigating recently. Before the results could be found, something like this happened, and he suddenly had no evidence.
But looking at him like this, it's only a matter of time before he says he's fine.
I don’t know, I thought his wife and child were dead.
As soon as I got up, I heard someone reporting next to me: "Gang Leader, Shushan Jiang Yuebai is at the door asking for an audience."
"People from Shushan?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Duanyang's eyes flashed with anger. He was about to turn her away, but after thinking about it he said, "Let her in."
After all, Shushan is one of the Nine Heavens. Even if the murderer is punished with the power of the Supervisory Government, the Honghe Sect will still have to hang around in the world of immortality in the future.
It is always difficult to be strong-willed in a small sect.
The door announced that Jiang Yuebai quickly walked to the mourning hall and gently saluted a row of coffins.
When Elder Chen saw her coming in, he stood up angrily and said loudly: "People from Shushan dare to come to the Red River Sect! The murderer who killed my wife and the other five people is from Shushan! You..."
"Old Chen!" Zhao Duanyang scolded, and then stepped forward and said: "I wonder why Fairy Jiang came here? I heard that the murderer Chu Liang has been captured by the Supervisory Government, but has not yet been dealt with. After he gets what he deserves, We don’t want to communicate with the Shushan sect before punishment.”
"That's why I came here today." Jiang Yuebai turned around and said: "The tragedy that happened to the Red River Sect has made people in Shushan deeply indignant. If this matter was really done by Chu Liang, Shushan would never protect him. But now we want to investigate the matter clearly and determine who the murderer is?"
"What else is there to investigate!" Elder Chen wailed: "With so many people watching, the evidence is conclusive, who could the murderer be if it wasn't Chu Liang? What kind of investigation are you talking about? You clearly want to cover him up! Don't think we don't know. , everyone has heard about it a long time ago, and you and that boy have always been inseparable. You should let his life be worth your life, so that you can also taste the pain of losing the one you love!"
As he spoke, his lips trembled, his beard and hair twitched, and he covered his heart with his hand, as if he might faint at any moment.
It does seem to be too painful.
"Are you in so much pain?" Zhao Duanyang said coldly from behind.
"I..." Elder Chen gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes: "I feel the pain for the leader!"
"In that case, you should take a rest." Zhao Duanyang rolled his eyes and simply ordered: "Send Elder Chen down to rest!"
Several disciples obeyed the order and took Elder Chen away. When they left, he was still shouting: "Master! Even if Shushan threatens you, don't give in. The master's wife and the young master cannot die in vain -"
…
Seeing Elder Chen walking away cursing, Jiang Yuebai sighed and said, "Elder Chen has a very good relationship with the head family."
"..." Zhao Duanyang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Old Chen is also an old man of the Honghe Sect. Our two families have always been close friends."
After the pleasantries, Jiang Yuebai got back to business.
"I believe that Master Zhao does not have to have a grudge against Shushan, but wants to truly avenge his wife, children and disciples. So if Chu Liang was framed, you wouldn't want the real murderer to go free, right?" she said again.
"But now the person was killed by Chu Liang. This seems irrefutable." Zhao Duanyang frowned and said: "So many unrelated people saw it with their own eyes. It is impossible that they all colluded to frame him."
Jiang Yuebai shook his head and said: "Headmaster Zhao doesn't know him very well. Anyone who knows him knows that he will never do such a thing, not to mention that there are still doubts in this case."
"From the perspective of the Honghe Sect, haven't you ever thought about it, Master Zhao? There has been no grudge between Chu Liang and your sect in the past and recently. Why did he kill twice in a row? If the second time was to seize the treasure and kill, then the second time And why again?”
"Why should I care what the murderer thinks?" Zhao Duanyang looked unkind. In his opinion, Jiang Yuebai was trying his best to excuse Chu Liang.
"According to my guess, this is probably a vendetta against the Red River Sect." Jiang Yuebai said: "And Chu Liang just happened to appear there and became the scapegoat chosen by the murderer. If the truth is not thoroughly investigated, then the real enemy of the Red River Sect will still be there. It will always exist. Even if it is to eliminate hidden dangers, you should give us a chance to try it out, right?"
Zhao Duanyang was silent for a moment, and then said: "As long as you don't want to protect him, what dare my small sect do to Shushan? But so many people have seen it with their own eyes, how can I not believe it?"
"Master Zhao, you should understand that what you see with your own eyes may not be true." Jiang Yuebai said, suddenly turning around: "Just like when I stand in front of you now, am I real?"
"Huh?" Zhao Duanyang was slightly startled.
Jiang Yuebai's figure turned around and disappeared into brilliance. Only a white butterfly was left on the spot, hovering for a few weeks and then fluttering away.
Then Jiang Yuebai's figure came out from the side again and said: "Actually, what I communicated with you before was always an illusion, but no one in your sect recognized it. It's also possible that the murderous Chu Liang was an illusion, but the Supervisor's method did not recognize it. It’s just a matter of time. Although it is difficult, it may not be impossible.”
Zhao Duanyang looked at the woman in front of him and could only sigh secretly.
As the leader of the Red River Sect, he also has the cultivation level of the early sixth realm. But in front of this junior, he was manipulated.
The strength of these immortal sect geniuses is indeed astonishing.
Although Jiang Yuebai only has the fifth level of cultivation, if he really wants to fight, he may not be his opponent.
"Chu Liang's cultivation is by no means weaker than mine. If he wanted to kill a few of the young masters, he would never allow them to escape so far from the place where the Jade Pot Immortal Strain grows; his net worth is also far beyond yours. Imagine that there is absolutely no need to personally kill people and seize treasures. Although these are not evidence, they are all doubtful points." Jiang Yuebai continued to persuade: "So I hope that Mr. Zhao can help me and himself, try to find out the real truth. The murderer."
"What can I help you with?" Zhao Duanyang asked in a deep voice.
"I came here to ask, does the Honghe Sect have any enemies?" Jiang Yuebai said.
Since they determined that the murderer's target was the Red River Sect, they naturally had to start the investigation from the enemies of the Red River Sect.
"We are making a living around the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains. It is inevitable to have disputes on weekdays, but they should not go to the point of killing people..." Zhao Duanyang thought, "If there is a life-and-death feud with my Honghe Sect, then It’s Black Pine Ridge.”
Jiang Yuebai listened to him quietly, his eyes clear and determined.
Thinking of Chu Liang suffering in the Jianguo Mansion, she felt nervous. No matter how difficult and dangerous it was, she had to find out the truth as soon as possible!
