Chapter 39 Finding a Needle in a Haystack

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. With a big move, Chu Jingtian caught the disciple guarding the Benming Building in front of him. He glared at him and said fiercely: "Tell me, what is going on? What happened to my cousin? What happened to my cousin?"

What happened and who did it?”

The disciple was grabbed by the neck like a duck. He couldn't breathe. He was frightened and angry. He waved his hands and struggled non-stop.

However, Chu Jingtian's gentle grasp made him, a junior practitioner in the Juyuan Stage, unable to exert any strength at all. This... Chu Jingtian's momentum and strength were really amazing!

With a cold snort, Chu Jingtian was extremely dissatisfied: "You should say it or not!"

The guarding disciple struggled with his hands and pointed at his own neck. Only then did Xu Jie realize that he had ignored the other person's condition because of his anger. He grunted a few times, threw his hands, and threw the guarding disciple to the ground.

"boom!"

The disciple in charge fell so hard that stars appeared in his eyes. He groaned a few times but did not dare to cry, and quickly got up again.

He glanced timidly at Chu Jingtian, and the disciple in charge sighed to himself that he was unlucky. He had good intentions and went to inform the other party, but unexpectedly he got a beating from the other party.

He was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it. This Chu Jingtian's cultivation level was only one level higher than his, but he didn't expect that the other party would subdue him with just a stretch of his hand. It was really unimaginable.

Comparing people to each other really makes people angry. Is this the method of the genius of the sect?

Facing Chu Jingtian's handsome face twisted with anger, the disciple in charge did not dare to neglect him, and said with a sad face: "Senior Brother Chu, I really don't know about this, and I can't explain why."

"What?" Chu Jingtian was angry again, "You are the custodial disciple of Denglou. My cousin's life charm has been destroyed, and you actually said you didn't know about it?"

The disciple in charge smiled bitterly: "I really didn't know, everything happened too fast. I heard this lamp making an unusual sound and rushed over. Before I arrived, the lamp went out."

"So fast?" Chu Jingtian was shocked, a look of surprise flashed across his face, he suppressed his anger and gradually calmed down.

When a person dies, the lamp goes out, but before a cultivator dies, his soul will definitely respond. Whether he is struggling or unwilling, there will be some movement.

The process of the death of the soul is shown on the natal talisman. When struggling to die, the natal talisman will sway and make sounds, and will also indicate the direction of the person's death.

Now, the disciple in charge actually said that he did not see this process, which shows that his cousin must have died extremely quickly, and the soul would not even have time to struggle before he died.

Chu Jingtian was not a rash person. Knowing this, his expression immediately became serious.

"You promise that you were not negligent during your supervision?" Chu Jingtian was a little distrustful of the pale-faced supervision disciple.

The guarding disciple shook his head repeatedly: "I don't dare, I certainly don't dare! Brother Chu, you know the rules of the sect. There are always disciples on duty in this natal building. If someone dies, the light will go out. This matter is so big, how dare we ignore it.

"

"Then tell me, what exactly is going on with my cousin?"

"This...it's hard to say."

Taking a long breath, Chu Jingtian's handsome face returned to normal, showing a slight smile, patted the shoulder of the disciple in charge, and said softly: "Junior brother, I have offended you just now, please forgive me. You also know that I am in the sect.

My only relative is dead, I..."

"Understood, understood." The disciple in charge nodded, feeling flattered.

Chu Jingtian sighed and said: "He is my cousin. Since he is dead, I cannot resurrect him. However, I, the cousin, have the obligation to find the murderer for him and avenge him. Junior brother, do you think so?

?”

"Yes, it should be."

"Then..." Chu Jingtian's tone became gentler, "Junior brother, you have been looking after the Benming Building for many years, so you must know the situation of the Benming Talisman very well. Please analyze it for me and tell me what you have to say about the circumstances of my cousin's death."

The guarding disciple pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "Senior Brother Chu, how is your cultivation?"

"Level Ning Yuan is at the fourth level, but I gave him a level seven blood-reverse sword and the blood-reverse magic. If he really had to fight with his life, it would be difficult for a warrior below level seven to take his life."

The guarding disciple thought about it seriously and said, "Senior Brother Chu, if you put it this way, there are no more than three situations."

"Oh?" Chu Jingtian perked up, "Junior brother, please tell me."

The guarding disciple said: "With your brother's strength, if you fight head-on, you can kill his soul in an instant. It is difficult for a junior warrior in the Juyuan stage to do anything. At least I don't think it can be done."

Chu Jingtian frowned: "You mean the person who took action is above the intermediate level?"

"Even if you are at the intermediate level, you still need the strength of Senior Brother Chu. Therefore, I guess that it will be someone from the Juyuan Stage who is advanced, or even... a spiritual pill warrior!"

Chu Jingtian's face became even more solemn, extremely ugly, and he cursed: "It's so shameless, so shameless. A high-level martial artist would be so cruel to a disciple of the Ning Yuan Stage. Junior brother, you don't know something. I came here a few days ago.

My cousin’s information says that he has no mission recently, so if he stays in the sect and has such a misfortune, it must be the fault of someone from my sect!”

The guarding disciple was taken aback and did not dare to accept the words, so he said instead: "Senior Brother Chu, as far as I know, today is the day when people from the inner sect go down to distribute the Yuan Ning Dan to the outer disciples."

Chu Jingtian glanced at him and burst out with two rays of light: "You mean, someone killed someone and snatched things, and attacked my cousin?"

The guard disciple fell silent.

The more Chu Jingtian thought about it, the more he thought it was possible: "My cousin can only receive one or two Yuan Ning Dan due to his merit, but I usually give him a lot. I don't rule out that some people are jealous... That's not right, Ning Yuan Dan is right for Ju.

People with high-level Yuan skills don't have much effect. Who would kill someone for a few Yuan-condensing pills at this level of cultivation?"

"Maybe it's for other things." The guarding disciple said carefully.

"The seventh-level spiritual weapon, the Blood-Reverse Sword?" Chu Jingtian's eyes turned cold and he snorted, "Yes, it is possible. Then, if I see who uses the Blood-Reverse Sword in the future, he must be the murderer of my cousin!

"

The guarding disciple coughed and said, "I wonder if Senior Brother Chu still needs me to analyze the other two situations?"

Chu Jingtian glanced at him, nodded and said, "You say."

"If you rule out frontal fighting, then there is a situation where the murderer has a vicious and powerful secret method that can kill the soul instantly, and even the talisman can be destroyed before he can react."

"Oh, then junior brother, do you think my sect's secret method has such effect?"

"This little brother doesn't know." The guarding disciple laughed endlessly, "Senior Brother Chu has a high level of cultivation and has been exposed to more advanced sect techniques. You don't even know it, and I have no way of knowing."

Chu Jingtian responded softly, and then asked: "Then what is the third situation?"

The guard disciple said: "In addition to secret techniques and secret treasures, Senior Brother Chu also knows that there are all kinds of special treasures in the martial arts world. It is not unusual to kill the soul in an instant."

"Impossible!" Chu Jingtian immediately denied, "Such a powerful treasure must be something above the level of a spiritual treasure, and the Anti-Blood Sword cannot be compared to a spiritual weapon. How can someone who owns a spiritual treasure covet a seventh-level spiritual weapon!"

The guarding disciple's face turned red: "Senior Brother Chu is wise."

Chu Jingtian sighed: "According to my junior brother's analysis, I can only trace it from two aspects. One is to pay attention to who in the sect has practiced the technique of instantly killing the soul, and the other is to see who uses the blood-reverse sword. However,

Today is the day when the Ning Yuan Dan is distributed, and many disciples from the inner sect have descended halfway up the mountain, so the scope of this investigation is quite large."

The guarding disciple also said: "Yes, finding the murderer among so many people is like finding a needle in a haystack."

Chu Jingtian snorted: "No matter how old I am, I will find such a person! Let me find him, and I will peel off his skin and remove his bones!"

The guarding disciple couldn't help but shudder when he heard this. Chu Jingtian's murderous aura was unleashed, which was unbearable.

Chu Jingtian added: "Today is the day when the Ning Yuan Pill is distributed. My cousin must have stayed on the mountainside to collect the pill. He must have been killed on the mountainside. I will go down to investigate now. Hmm, the most suspicious one is the one on the mountainside.

Outer disciple! Junior brother, thank you very much for today and say goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved, and a gust of wind lifted up the sleeves of the disciple in charge. Before he had time to react, Chu Jingtian disappeared.
