"Judging from the situation of these crazy monks tonight, the man in the dark is obviously good at spiritual magic."
"And the guests at this banquet come from the nine mountains and seas, and most of them are not related to each other. The murderer screened some of the guests in advance, and the possibility of using Taoist magic on them is not high."
"In addition, there were no abnormalities before these monks attacked the guests around them, so we can speculate that they may have been attacked at the banquet."
"In that case, as long as we find out who they had contact with at the banquet before, the identity of the murderer will naturally be clear."
Chu Meixin stepped out from the crowd and explained coldly, showing no fear in the face of many important figures present.
Gu Chen in the crowd remembered that Bo Yu had drunk Zhang Hao tonight, and then suddenly went crazy and attacked Ren Yin, and knew that Chu Meixin was right.
Judging from the time, it is very likely that the murderer has not left the ship yet!
"That makes sense. It is recommended to check all guests immediately."
Many people nodded in agreement. No one felt at ease when they thought that there might be someone hiding around them who could use spiritual magic to control them.
"If you all have no objections, then I, Jiange, will organize a manpower investigation and all guests will stay calm where they are."
Chu Meixin said that if someone dies, Jiange, who is responsible for the defense, will not be able to live with the situation. The murderer must be caught as soon as possible so that they can explain to the master.
"Junior sister Chu is right."
Song Chengcheng dumbly agreed beside him. The tall and burly man standing there, coupled with the terrifying heavy sword, made many people afraid to say no.
"No need to search, it's just a waste of time." Medusa suddenly said.
"How do you say this?" Chu Meixin frowned.
"The real murderer has just escaped. My maid is chasing him. I believe there will be a result soon."
Medusa's eyes flickered and she explained.
"Is this happening?"
Everyone was excited after hearing this, half believing and half doubting that there was indeed one maid missing from Medusa's side, but no one saw the real murderer escaping.
"This...Mrs. Du, are you sure?"
Chu Meixin was quite surprised. The disciples of Jiange had been patrolling the nearby sea area, and no one saw what Madam Du said.
Moreover, if he is really the murderer, his strength must be extraordinary. It is unreasonable for only Madam Du's maid to pursue him.
Most importantly, why didn't Mrs. Du say this when she was criticized by everyone?
Just saying it now makes people think she is trying to hide something!
"Confirmed. You don't have to worry. I will give you an explanation tomorrow and the auction will be held as scheduled."
Medusa was confident in what she said, and seeing her so confident, many guests felt relieved.
"I wonder where the murderer escaped? Just in case, we should send more manpower to hunt him down."
Chu Meixin asked, not wanting to follow Medusa's wishes.
She is a disciple of Jiange, and there is no need to obey the other party's orders. There must be something fishy about this matter, and she wants to find out!
After hearing what Chu Meixin said, Medusa looked at her one more time and smiled brightly.
Before Medusa could answer, a sword light flew from the night sky and landed on the ship in the blink of an eye!
The visitor was wearing linen clothes and had a haggard face, like an old man with half his foot in the coffin.
However, when many guests saw him, they became excited, and the disciples in the sword pavilion present became even more serious and saluted one after another.
"I've met Elder Zhuge!"
Chu Meixin and other Jiange disciples said.
"I have met the Great Sage Zhuge!"
Many guests present said.
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly in the crowd.
Zhuge Songbai, the elder of Jiange, a great sage cultivator, is also the person in charge of maintaining the order of the auction at Jiange in Binhai City!
Those whose Tao power reaches 100 million can be regarded as saints. However, there are actually more detailed divisions in the realm of saints.
Those with Taoist power exceeding 300 million can be called Holy Kings, and those with Tao power exceeding 600 million are known as Great Sages!
Under the Taoist Patriarch, the Great Sage can be regarded as an invincible existence. His Taoist power exceeds 900 million, and he is only one step away from the Taoist Ancestor. He is also revered as the Quasi-Daoist Ancestor!
Zhuge Songbai has reached the realm of the Great Sage, and is rumored to be one of the top three most powerful beings in the Sword Pavilion. He is highly respected, so when he appears, few guests dare to put on airs.
Of course, those who dare to show off to him will not bother to attend any banquets. Those who are interested in the auction will just go to the auction house directly.
"Everyone is frightened tonight. The banquet was disturbed because it was our Jiange's dereliction of duty. We will definitely track down the mastermind behind the attack on the banquet. Please rest assured."
"It's late at night. Let's end tonight's banquet. Everyone, go to bed early. I believe tomorrow's auction will be exciting."
Zhuge Songbai bowed his hands in front of everyone, and the great sage personally came to comfort him, and the worries of many guests suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The murderer in the dark might soon be dead, but he actually alerted the Great Sage to show up in person!
Under the assurance of the great sage, the guests gave up their thoughts of pursuing the matter and dispersed one after another.
"Elder Zhuge, should we send out manpower to cooperate with Youyoujie to track down the murderer?"
Chu Meixin stood behind Zhuge Songbai and asked politely.
"No need, just leave the matter to Mrs. Du. Thank you for your hard work, go back."
Zhuge Songbai said coldly, and Chu Meixin felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Although she didn't know much about Elder Zhuge, she heard that he was a very face-conscious person, and now someone committed an attack at the banquet where Jiange was responsible for guarding, which was equivalent to hitting him in the face, but he had no intention of pursuing it further?
Chu Meixin was confused, but knew not to ask more questions and nodded.
"Okay, disciple understands."
After explaining to the disciples of Jiange, Zhuge Songbai glanced at Medusa, and then turned into sword light, soaring into the sky, coming and going in a hurry.
Gu Chen witnessed what happened without saying a word, thinking deeply.
Afterwards, Medusa and the maid beside her left. Looking at the direction in which she left, Gu Chen hesitated and did not follow her.
If something unexpected happened tonight, Medusa's vigilance would be extremely high, and more eyes would be on her in the city. It would be too easy to expose herself by following her at this time.
Not long after, Gu Chen also said goodbye to Ji Yang and left alone.
During this period, Ren Yin and Ni Bodhisattva had already left before him. There was no communication between the two parties from beginning to end, and they looked like complete strangers.
Ren Yin and Ni Bodhisattva first followed Zhang Hao and others back to Yueli Tower, and then Ren Yin quietly sneaked out to meet Gu Chen, and the two exchanged identities.
When the real Gu Chen returned to Yueli Tower, Ni Bodhisattva took out Zhang Hao and gave it to Ren Yin, who then gave him the ball of light that sealed Bo Yu.
Looking at the unconscious Bo Yu in the ball of light, Gu Chen's eyes flashed with light.
Tonight's attack on the banquet by a mysterious figure, as well as Medusa's reaction afterwards, and even the appearance of the Great Sage Zhuge, made him instinctively aware that that mysterious figure might be an important breakthrough to capture Medusa!
This man's current whereabouts are unknown. Through Bo Yu, who is controlled by him, he may be able to find his whereabouts!
