The disciple in charge struggled with his hands and pointed at his 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 disciple in charge 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 guarding disciple smiled bitterly: "I really didn't know, everything happened too fast. I heard the lamp made 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 definitely 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 lamp will go out. This matter is so big, how can we dare to 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, as a 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 taking care of the natal building for many years, so you must know the situation of the natal spell very well. Please analyze it for me. What do 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?"
"Ning Yuan is at the fourth level, but I gave him a level seven blood-reverse sword and a blood-reverse sword. If he really has to fight with his life, it will 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."
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 make a difference. 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 high-level, 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 warrior 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 not had any missions 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 Ning Yuan Pills to the outer sect 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 merits, 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 wields 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, 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 a spiritual treasure, and the Anti-Blood Sword is not a spiritual weapon. How can a person 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 of 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 receive 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 could react, Chu Jingtian disappeared.
"Wind Control Technique!" the guard disciple shouted, feeling admiration and jealousy at the same time, "Chu Jingtian is Chu Jingtian. He is worthy of being one of the three geniuses in the sect's Juyuan period of cultivation. He can use advanced cultivation even at the intermediate level of Juyuan.
Martial arts performed for talents.”
Admired and admired, the disciple in charge wiped a cold sweat from his eyes, glad that he had sent such a vicious god away with his kind words.
Turning his head, his eyes fell on Chu Jingtian's natal talisman. The light was burning without any movement. He couldn't help but whisper softly: "Xu Jie... the blood-reverse sword... the secret method?"
Mandong Mountain, as its name suggests, you can imagine how many caves there are on the mountain.
Xuanming Peak is tens of thousands of feet high and stretches for dozens of miles across. There are mountains on the peak, and many of the peaks have other names, and they all belong to the scenery of Xuanming Peak.
Wandong Mountain is not on Xuanming Peak, but is located to the south of Xuanming Peak, between Xuanming Peak and Yundi Peak.
To the south of Wandong Mountain, between Yundi Peak and Yundi Peak, there is a large lake. The mortals at the foot of the mountain call it "Sky Lake".
It's dozens of miles across, the lake is calm and clear, and it's a sight to behold.
Standing at a height of 5,000 feet, Wandong Mountain, you can clearly see the scenery of the lake, which is like a mirror, reflecting the entire sky. Sometimes white clouds float by, sometimes birds fly away, and sometimes swimming fish leap.
There are not just 10,000 caves in Wandong Mountain, but tens of thousands. There are natural caves, artificial caves, connected caves and independent caves.
After being renovated by so many people, there are mostly independent caves.
This is the retreat place for the entire Xuanming Sect disciples, because there are more than 100,000 disciples on each mountain peak in the Xuanming Sect. When there are more people, there will be more things and louder voices. Many disciples do not like to practice in retreat within the sect.
.
Therefore, Wandong Mountain, which has many natural caves, became the best place for them to retreat.
The Xuanming Sect is located in the middle of Donghai Prefecture. As a major martial arts sect, naturally not many people dare to provoke them. The entire Xuanming Mountain is their sphere of influence. Therefore, the sect is also very relieved that the disciples go to Wandong Mountain to retreat, and they are not afraid of any trouble.
How many enemies broke in.
Each cave in Wandong Mountain does not have a specific owner, they are all chosen at random. If you need to retreat, go to Wandong Mountain, find a cave you like, go in, and create a few formations inside to let people passing by outside know about it.
If someone is already using the cave, you can practice with peace of mind.
Of course, everyone has specific habits. If it is not necessary, many people will choose to retreat into caves in specific areas.
Wandong Mountain is really too high. People with low cultivation levels like Li Lifeng would have to walk several miles from Xuanming Peak to here. If they want to go up to a higher place, it will take even more time.
