The thirty-seventh chapter is pressing step by step
The news of the death of the mountain lion gradually spread among the world until seven days ago.
It had been five days since his death.
People die all the time in the world, and the death of a mountain lion is not a big deal.
But no matter what, the injustice has its owner and the debt has its owner.
Mountain lions are not wild cats or dogs after all, and no one cares whether they are dead or alive.
He was not only a member of the Red Sect, but also a cousin of Gengtang Liang Zimeng. As soon as the news of his death came out, someone had to step forward and make the decision for him.
The mountain lion died in Jiangning County. Anyone would think that it died at the hands of the Daoyi Alliance. After all, that place is almost the territory of the Daoyi Alliance.
The Red Sect and the Daoyi Alliance are sworn enemies. The mountain lion ran wild on the territory of the sworn enemy, and it really deserved its death.
Even Liang Zimeng himself thought so, feeling that the mountain lion really brought it upon itself.
But then he thought about it, Shan Shi was his cousin after all, running errands for him. When Shan Shi died, he not only lost this business, but also lost a trustworthy and hard-working right-hand man.
The more Liang Zimeng thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately swore that he would kill his enemy for the mountain lion!
Liang Zimeng thought that he was not smart, but he also understood that the feud between the Red Sect and the Dao Yi Alliance would not last forever.
The mountain lion usually worked hard for Gengtang and rarely interfered with other people's affairs. Now that something happened, it was obviously unrealistic to ask everyone to vent their anger for him.
This revenge can only be avenged as a personal revenge.
To take revenge, you must first find the perpetrator.
Of course, the Daoyi Alliance will not confess one of their own, and Liang Zimeng is not good at it either.
So, he found Wang Shuo and used the Red Sect's top intelligence network to conduct an investigation. This was also one of the powers of being the leader of the Red Sect's Ten Heavenly Branch Hall.
However, the old man, who knew his old enemy well, was already one step ahead.
The incident occurred in Jiangning County. The old man knew about the mountain lion's death that day, and even heard the whole story from Jiang Yichen's mouth that night.
The old man was not in a hurry to order people to dispose of the mountain lion carcass, but let nature take its course and let the situation develop.
This tactic alone, keeping the same in response to all changes, delayed the discovery of the mountain lion's carcass.
Five days is enough time for the corpses exposed in the wild to decompose quickly, making it difficult to determine the cause of death. This misleads the investigators, who mistakenly believed that it was the work of the Dao Yi League, and then conducted a one-by-one investigation of the whereabouts of the members of the Dao Yi League that day.
After spending a lot of time and energy, you only realize later that there is something fishy!
——The members of the Alliance of Justice who could pose a life threat to mountain lions had no chance to take action that day. The real culprit was someone else!
After all this trouble, even Jitang, headed by Wang Shuo, was unable to find out who killed the mountain lion in a short period of time.
By keeping this secret, Jiang Yichen will not be targeted by Liang Zi and will not be in trouble for the time being.
On the Red Clothes Sect's end, there is an old man helping Jiang Yichen.
After arriving in the Nether Sect, Jiang Yichen could only rely on his sharp tongue to gain trust for himself.
Jiang Yichen had no intention of confessing the matter on his own initiative. After all, the evil sects and demon sects nowadays are allies of each other. They could just stumble in secret, but directly killing people and silencing them was not something that could be reconciled with just a few words.
But as the news spread in the world, Ye Shang approached Jiang Yichen.
Ye Shang's keen insight allowed him to realize that Jiang Yichen was most likely the real culprit who killed the mountain lion.
Jiang Yichen had the time and ability to kill the mountain lion. What was questionable was his motive.
Ye Shang did not ask Jiang Yichen why he wanted to kill the mountain lion, but directly asked if he killed the mountain lion.
Jiang Yichen didn't hide anything, nor did he explain much. He only gave Ye Shang the answer he wanted.
After killing the mountain lion, Jiang Yichen also pondered the possible attitudes within the Nether Sect.
He believed that he was not yet capable of making the Nether Sect quarrel with the Red Sect.
However, on the other hand, the Red Clothes Sect may not necessarily quarrel with the Netherworld Sect over the mountain lion.
Based on his speculation, when Wang Shuo found out about him, the Nether Sect would only ask him to give Liang Zi a fierce explanation.
At this time, my life will not be lost, but I am afraid that I will have to suffer some physical pain to calm Liang Zi's fierce anger.
After Ye Shang learned the answer, he did not blame him, but told him that the Nether Sect would not favor him, but it would not completely ignore him.
Ye Shang asked him to prepare for a one-on-one confrontation with Liang Zimeng.
As long as he can survive a hundred rounds under Liang Zimeng's hands, the Netherworld Church will save his life.
Considering Ye Shang's status in the Nether Sect, his guarantee also represents the guarantee of the Nether Sect, which undoubtedly makes Jiang Yichen feel at ease.
As for the ghost, even though he arrived two days ago, he still took the initiative to find Nightmare and the Crying Lady to find out a lot about recent events after not seeing him for a long time.
The fact that Hei Wuchang killed the mountain lion is still a secret in the world, but within the Nether Sect, the ghosts obviously have the right to know, so it is reasonable to have sudden doubts at this time.
Although Jiang Yichen was a little surprised, he did not lose his composure and said: "The Red Sect suffered a lot from the incident in Xunfeng Valley half a year ago. Maybe they have learned a lesson this time. As for the fact that they are closest to me, it may be a coincidence.
"
Ghost stared at Jiang Yichen and said coldly: "Although it's not a big deal, it's not a wise move to add such trouble at this juncture!"
Just when the morning sun was rising and the warmth hit him, Jiang Yichen felt a biting chill coming towards his face.
He lowered his head slightly and replied: "This matter was indeed done a little recklessly, and I will never do it again."
Ghost said calmly: "Very good."
Having been away from the world for a long time, Ghost has not lost his caution.
Ghost is not a person who is afraid of trouble. Let alone killing a mountain lion, even if someone from the cult killed Liang Zimeng at this stall, he would not frown.
But upon hearing that it was this newly created masterpiece by Black Impermanence, Ghost couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
He was no stranger to the young man in front of him. When he first arrived at the Netherworld Cave, he was treated as his savior by Lord Suo and Ye.
In the following more than a year, under Ye Shang's training, he made rapid progress and reached the position of the Sixth Ghost General. This rapid rise was truly astonishing.
The ghost would not question Ye Shang's loyalty, but he could not rest assured about this newcomer. After all, this person was not a gifted person. After three days of separation, he made people look at him with admiration.
If he thought about it carefully, he could find that Jiang Chengzi seemed to have made careful arrangements and planned every step to achieve his current abilities. He had to be wary of it.
The Appointment of Hundred Flowers is a big event. Jiang Chengzi went on a mission with them for the first time and created another incident. Is it intentional or an unintentional mistake?
If it's the latter, it's forgivable.
If it’s the former, you have to be on guard!
Ghost paused for a while, then continued: "Do you have any old or new grudges between you and the mountain lion?"
Jiang Yichen said: "No."
Ghost said: "Do you have an old relationship with the second young lady of the Murong family?"
Jiang Yichen said: "No."
The ghost couldn't turn his eyes away, the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense, and he pressed forward step by step: "Are you related to the Murong family or the Daoyi Alliance?"
If the ghost is like a cold wind, Jiang Yichen is like the frozen lake surface, unmoved and said: "No."
The ghost suddenly laughed and said: "Then why do you want to kill the mountain lion?"
Jiang Yichen said: "For clues."
Ghost said: "Clue?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Clues about the recent whereabouts of some key members of the Daoyi Alliance."
The ghost's eyes changed and he asked: "Does this woman have other identities?"
The implication of the ghost's words is particularly obvious. If this woman is simply the second young lady of the Murong family, she at most knows the whereabouts of her husband and her husband's brother. If she wants to know the whereabouts of other people, she must be a member of the Daoyi Alliance's intelligence network.
When it comes to gangsters, one can always tell a lot about the whereabouts of members of a gang. If this woman can provide these clues, it will indeed be of certain value.
Jiang Yichen naturally did not want to involve Ruolan in the situation. He had already thought of how to make the Nether Sect stop trying to take advantage of her.
Jiang Yichen said first: "It's a long story."
After hearing this, the ghost showed a strange smile on his ugly face. He raised his eyes and looked at the sword-dance field at the far end and said, "According to the way these people behave, it will take a while before we can get to the point."
Turning his head, he said to Jiang Yichen, "Please talk longer."
