Lin Xiao returned to the Seventh Peak and summoned everyone to explain the situation.

Everyone was indeed surprised by Ge Hong's death, but it was just a surprise. On the contrary, everyone was filled with indignation at Gu Yunfei's conspiracy.

Lin Xiao said: "The soldiers will stop you, and the water will cover you. Now you don't need my help in your cultivation, so this time I will investigate alone."

Lin Xiao looked at everyone. During this time, everyone has changed. Qi Xia's progress is especially obvious. He not only broke through the Tongxuan realm, but also successfully understood the power of artistic conception and successfully completed the last link of the Beidou Sword Formation.

.

He understood the power of artistic conception as soon as he broke through the Tongxuan Realm. This kind of talent is an amazing talent anywhere, but Qi Xia is not proud at all, because he knows that even now, he is still the weakest on the mountain.

.

Even if they are not compared with Lin Xiao, the other senior brothers have all been reborn after cleansing their muscles and marrow, and their talents are far better than before. In terms of talent alone, they are all about the same, and no one is higher than the other.

But Qi Xia has less time to practice than others, so he may not have the chance to catch up with them in the future.

However, Qi Xia is not upset. They have already regarded each other as family members, and they all hope that the other will be better than themselves.

"I'll go with you." At this moment, Luo Ling stood up and said.

"You'd better stay on the mountain and practice."

"It won't take more than a few days." Luo Ling's smile had a kind of magic that Lin Xiao couldn't refuse, but Lin Xiao always felt that the reason why Luo Ling insisted on going with him was because he was worried about him staying alone in Donghuang.

city.

This uneasiness is not due to safety.

Luo Ling always felt that something happened after Lin Xiao went to Donghuang City last time that she didn't know about. No matter what excuse Lin Xiao found, a man staying out all night would always stimulate a woman's keen intuition.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to go investigate with Luo Ling. Lin Xiao had already seen Ge Hong's body. The fatal injury was the scar on the neck. The wound was thin and straight, and it was obviously cut by an extremely sharp blade.

Moreover, Ge Hong still refused to close his eyes. From his last look, it could be seen that he was greatly stimulated. Besides, there were no other external injuries on Ge Hong's body except some traces of previous battles with him, so Lin Xiao suspected the murderer.

He was someone Ge Hong knew.

He put himself in his shoes and analyzed that Ge Hong was running for his life at that time and would not let down his guard at all. However, Ge Hong was killed with one blow without any resistance, so Lin Xiao concluded that Ge Hong must have met a man on his way back to the sect.

I know someone I know, but I'm not sure whether he trusts him or not.

Lin Xiao's first stop was at the foot of the cliff where the body was found. He and Luo Ling carefully checked the environment above and below the cliff. There were indeed no traces of fighting, and of course no murder weapon was found.

The clues were cut off like this, and Lin Xiao and Luo Ling had no intention of pursuing it clearly, but they learned a strange thing from some people nearby.

It is said that a demon is often seen near this cliff.

We first discovered some of the demon monks who often practiced nearby. This cliff is not far from the Juque Sword Sect, so the spiritual energy is more abundant than other places. Many monks living in the Eastern Imperial City will go to practice nearby.

Originally, Lin Xiao was unwilling to cause trouble, but Luo Ling became inexplicably interested in the matter, perhaps because this place is too close to the Seventh Peak.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can find that this cliff is opposite the back mountain of the Seventh Peak. The distance is only a few dozen miles. For a monk who can fly with a sword, it can be crossed in just a cup of tea.

The two of them heard several people talking about this not far away, so they walked over. Perhaps because their aura was too strong, when they got closer, the voices of those people gradually became quieter, and finally stopped altogether.

He stopped and looked at Lin Xiao and Luo Ling warily and suspiciously.

When Lin Xiao and Luo Ling walked in front of them, they all seemed a little restrained. Lin Xiao looked at the young man standing in the middle. This man was younger than him, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, and not tall.

, dark and thin.

"I just heard you talking about the devil, have any of you seen it?" Luo Ling asked.

Seeing a fairy-like person asking, several young people were very nervous. They all pointed to the thin black boy in the middle and said, "He saw it."

"Hello, we are disciples of the Juque Sword Sect. What is your name?" Lin Xiao asked the young man.

Upon hearing that they were disciples of the Juque Sword Sect, several people's eyes showed awe.

The young man said: "Sir, my name is Tong Lu."

"Tong Lu, please tell us where you saw the demon? And what did the demon look like?"

"It's at the bottom of the cliff. I often practice at the bottom of the cliff. Some time ago, I heard someone say that a demon who likes to eat human flesh appeared here. I didn't believe it at first, until one day I saw it with my own eyes."

"The demon is six feet tall and has muscles as strong as a monster. His hair is so long that it covers his entire face and only a pair of scarlet eyes can be vaguely seen."

"That man was as agile as an ape and extremely powerful. I saw him tearing a vicious tiger demon alive and then devouring its flesh and blood."

Lin Xiao frowned. It is not surprising that there are tiger monsters under the Juque Sword Sect mountain. There are monster clans in some wild areas of Cangxuan Sea. This is also to train some ordinary monks, so generally speaking, the sect will not take action to clean up, but under the eyes of the Juque Sword Sect

It is unnatural for such a ferocious devil to appear under the child.

Moreover, this person was very close to the Seventh Peak, so Lin Xiao also wanted to see what kind of person he was, who was rumored to be so miraculous.

"Please lead the way, we also want to take a look." Before Lin Xiao could speak, Luo Ling said to Tong Lu.

As soon as he heard that he was going to lead the way, Tong Lu immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "This can't be done. I saw with my own eyes that demon tearing apart tiger monsters, and some people saw him eating human flesh directly after killing people. What if?"

If we are discovered by him, we won’t be eaten by him.”

"Not going?"

"No, sir, please do it. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and a daughter-in-law who has not yet married. I don't want to die yet."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao made a casual stroke, and a wisp of sword slashed through the ground, leaving a three-foot-deep ravine.

"Sir, when are you leaving?" Tong Lu immediately put on a smile, but his legs couldn't help but tremble a little.

You may not encounter a demon if you go to lead the way, but if you don't go, you may become a dead person soon.

"Very well, I'll excuse you then." Lin Xiao said politely with a smile, but Tong Lu never dared to look at him again.
