Ye Dong was sitting in Hou Jian and Pan Chaoyang's room, slumped on the chair. Although it was already night and a whole day had passed since morning, Ye Dong was not idle during this day.
After Master Tianxin announced Ye Dong's identity, the entire Tianxin Sect held a banquet specially prepared for him, and just the masters of the mortal realm who came to toast him almost made him want to use his earthly skills to leave.
Now that he finally escaped from the banquet, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could catch his breath, Hou Jian and Pan Chaoyang in front of him had already stood up, straightened their clothes, and were about to kneel down again. Ye Dong was so frightened that he jumped up and said: "If you dare to kneel down again, I will immediately
Just leave!”
After Pan Chaoyang and Hou Jian looked at each other, they nodded with a wry smile. Although they no longer knelt down, they still bowed to Ye Dong and saluted: "Disciples pay homage to the sect master."
Ye Dong helplessly rubbed his temples with his hands and said: "Brother Hou, I have already said that although Liu Muling is indeed in my hands, I am really not the sect leader of Cihang Sect."
Hou Jian stood behind Pan Chaoyang and spread his hands, making a helpless expression, while Pan Chaoyang had already boldly said: "Young master, we are not forcing you to be our sect leader, but this rule is established by the old sect master Liu.
As disciples, we can only abide by it and dare not violate it. Please forgive me, young master."
I have to say that Pan Chaoyang is indeed extremely smart. A simple sentence left Ye Dong speechless. He could only nod his head and said: "I understand, and I'm not angry either, but Brother Pan, I have already told you everything that needs to be said.
Brother Hou made it very clear, I don’t think I need to explain it again, right?”
"Of course I don't dare to trouble the young master to explain, but I don't know if the young master can tell me in detail how he met Sect Leader Liu?"
Hou Jian on the side followed and said: "Young Master, Hall Master Pan is the think tank of our sect. He may be able to get some clues from your narrative."
Pan Chaoyang said humbly: "Young master, don't listen to what Hou Jian said. I am not a wise man. I am just a friend of my sect."
Ye Dong thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll say it again."
So Ye Dong told the whole process from when he was injured to when he was separated from Grandpa Liu, which was much more detailed than when he told Hou Jian.
After listening, Pan Chaoyang lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Neither Ye Dong nor Hou Jian spoke, waiting to see if Pan Chaoyang, the Cihang Sect's think tank, could really discover some details that they might have overlooked before.
After half an hour, Pan Chaoyang finally raised his head: "Young Master, please think carefully about what He Guqi from Bingji Palace said before he appeared. Did you remember it incorrectly or omit it?
What?"
This question immediately stunned Ye Dongwen, and the situation that night immediately appeared in his mind. He thought about it carefully and said: "I remember correctly, what He Guqi said before he appeared was that thanks to this
It took a half-assed exploration of the phantom wooden formation to let me know that the girl from the Liu family was hiding here. It was really difficult for me to find her, but I finally found her!"
Ye Dong's memory is already amazing, and in addition to the fact that Xiang'er was kidnapped, he always believed that he had an unshirkable responsibility, so he remembered clearly what happened that night.
But after he repeated this sentence to himself, he was stunned again because he thought of something.
Pan Chaoyang also said in a solemn tone: "Young Master, it seems that you have also thought of it?"
Ye Dong nodded silently. He had indeed thought of it. Only Hou Jian, who was completely confused, was scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously. He had no idea what they had thought of.
Fortunately, Ye Dong has already continued: "From He Guqi's words, it can be inferred that he is very aware that Grandpa Liu and Liu Xiang'er are not dead! So, even if he is not the murderer, at least he is someone who knows the details!
If it is the latter, it means there is a traitor within the Cihang Sect."
Now even Hou Jian suddenly realized it!
The head of the Cihang Sect and his family were wiped out. This kind of thing was impossible for a small force like the Ye family to know at the time, but it was bound to spread throughout the entire Suzaku Continent and among powerful sects such as the Tianxin Sect.
But because everyone in the Liu family was dead, no one knew what happened that night. Even the people of Cihang Sect only realized that Grandpa Liu and Liu Xiang'er were missing when they counted the bodies afterwards.
The two of them should still be alive.
However, in order to protect them, Cihang Sect did not release the news, but secretly sent its trusted disciples to inquire about the two people.
However, He Guqi's words showed that not only did he know that Grandpa Liu and his grandson were not dead, he was even looking for them!
How did he know?
Apart from the murderer, naturally it was only possible that a disciple within the Cihang Sect who knew the news could have told the news.
Even as an outsider, you know you must not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and since you have told it, you can only tell He Guqi on purpose!
After Hou Jian figured out these problems, he immediately waved his hands anxiously and said: "Master, Young Master, I swear on my life that I will never tell anyone else except Young Master!"
Pan Chaoyang pondered for a moment and said: "We also considered this situation at the beginning, and the disciples we selected are all extremely reliable. Even Hou Jian has been in the sect for more than thirty years and is absolutely trustworthy. Therefore,
I think the second one can be ruled out."
If we rule out the possibility that Cihang Zong himself was a traitor, then there is only one possibility left, and that is that He Guqi was one of the murderers who participated in the massacre of the Liu family.
One of the reasons why I say this is because with the strength of the Liu family at that time, He Guqi could not destroy it alone.
Pan Chaoyang continued: "In addition, according to the young master, Miss Xiang'er was poisoned by three kinds of strange poisons, and her time is running out. Even Sect Master Liu is helpless, so He Guqi's purpose in kidnapping her is not to kill her.
She probably wants to use her to force Master Liu to hand over something."
At this time, Ye Dong flipped his wrist, and Liu Muling appeared in his palm: "I think this is what he wants!"
With Liu Mu Ling, he became the head of the Cihang Sect. Although Ye Dong was unwilling to take up this position, I don't know how many people coveted this status!
Pan Chaoyang suddenly stood up and said to Ye Dong with a solemn expression: "Young Master, although you are unwilling to admit that you are the sect master of this sect, I think that sect master Liu went to Bingji Palace alone, and he must have considered that he might
There is no way he can go back, and in order to prevent him from having an accident, Liu Mu Ling will fall into the hands of others, so Master Liu will hand over Liu Mu Ling to you. Therefore, disciples are bold, please preside over Liu Mu Ling and give the order to gather the masters of this sect and go
Bingji Palace, rescue Sect Leader Liu and Liu Xiang'er!"
