Ling Xiao and Li Yuanhuan didn't find anyone, but they caught a hint of danger at the same time.
They knew that since the other party dared to come and provoke them, they must be confident. With just the two of them, the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light, there was no way to defeat the other party.
There is only one solution that is not a solution now, and that is... wait until the master comes back tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Cheng Qiantai finally came back.
Seeing Ling Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for half a year, Cheng Qantai couldn't hide his excitement. He pressed Ling Xiao's shoulders with both hands at the same time: "Xiao'er, you're back!"
Ling Xiao could naturally feel that Master's words "You are back" contained many emotions. Thousands of words were turned into just one sentence: "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..." Cheng Qiantai remembered the purpose of his trip this time, and quickly took out a transparent bead the size of a duck egg from the storage space: "This is the Yunling from the Jinghai Pavilion auction. Beads are very suitable for you to use."
Ling Xiao took the bead from Cheng Qantai and put it into the space: "Thank you, Master."
Even if Qiantai fails to buy the bead this time, Ling Xiao will feel very happy.
The intention lies in the heart. Master has this kind of heart, so Ling Xiao is happy.
Of course, with substantial benefits, Ling Xiao is even more happy.
There was no way, in Ling Xiao's own words, he was scared of poverty.
Ling Xiao, Li Yuanhuan and Cheng Yu followed Cheng Qiantai into the Beimin faction's meeting hall. Li Yuanhuan quickly told Cheng Qiantai the results of his investigation last night with Ling Xiao.
Cheng Qiantai's heart sank immediately. Nothing like this had ever happened to the Beimin faction since he took over.
"Master, according to my estimation, this incident is either caused by Beimin or me." Ling Xiao expressed his speculation that he had been thinking about all night: "If it is caused by me, It is estimated that only Shen Xuan could do such a thing."
Cheng Qiantai immediately rejected Ling Xiao's view: "It can't be Shen Xuan. I've asked someone to check. Shen Xuan is still staying in Shen Nanfeng's hometown and family, and it's impossible for him to come out to cause trouble."
Ling Xiao looked at Cheng Qiantai in surprise. He did not expect that the master would actually ask for news about Shen Xuan.
Isn't this just to worry about the other party taking revenge on Ling Xiao?
"Thank you, Master..." Ling Xiao could not find any words to express his gratitude except saying thank you.
Cheng Qiantai smiled slightly: "Xiao'er, why are you being polite to Master? By the way, go on."
"Hmm." Ling Xiao continued to speculate: "If they are sent for me, Beimin, and they can handle the corpses so tightly, I guess only those demon soul masters can do it."
"However, I still can't figure out why the Demonic Soul Master came specifically for our Beimin sect." This is what Ling Xiao doesn't understand: "Furthermore, even if they want to plot against our Beimin sect, how can they kill two disciples?" What to solve? On the contrary, it will expose their goal!"
Li Yuanhuan listened to Ling Xiao's words for a long time and suddenly said: "Junior brother Ling, have you noticed that the flames that destroyed the corpses and traces were enough to kill Xiaogang and Xiaoyue, why is there still blood on the ground? Could it be that, they Kill twice?"
"This..." Ling Xiao frowned, thinking over and over what Li Yuanhuan said: "Killing people twice... By the way, could it be done by different people? One person killed the person, and the other person was afraid of revealing his whereabouts and destroying the body. ?”
"I asked someone about the teahouse where Xiaogang and Xiaoyue last appeared in Beimin City." Li Yuanhuan continued: "I heard that after they left, someone left with them. Then, I asked them to dictate, I roughly drew the appearance of that person. Take a look, who does this person look like?"
Li Yuanhuan took out a large painting and unfolded it, and the appearance of a homeless man suddenly caught the eyes of several people.
But Ling Xiao and Cheng Qiantai recognized him at a glance. Who else could this person be if he wasn't You Songxi?
You Songxi never dreamed that Ling Xiao and Li Yuanhuan would be able to estimate the matter exactly based on their speculations. Moreover, even his appearance was discovered by Li Yuanhuan.
Cheng Qiantai had to admire the super abilities of these two disciples, especially Li Yuanhuan. He never expected that this seemingly gentle disciple was actually no weaker than Ling Xiao, a cunning and eccentric disciple.
It seems that Cheng Qiantai must re-evaluate Li Yuanhuan as a disciple.
Loyalty, honesty, and I have to add another sentence, great wisdom is like a fool.
Now that You Songxi has been found, they naturally understand that this matter has something to do with the demon soul master of the Seven Demons Sect.
But Ling Xiao still had the same question. It was completely normal for You Songxi to hate the Beimin sect and kill his disciples to vent his anger, but why did the Seven Demons Sect also stare at the Beimin sect?
After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Qiantai made up his mind and said, "This matter is a secret about the Beimin Sect. Yu'er, Huan'er, and Xiao'er, you three must not expose this matter."
"Yes, Master (Dad)." The three of them responded at the same time.
Cheng Qiantai told the reason why the Seven Demons Sect is keeping a close eye on the Beimin Sect. In fact, Ling Xiao had known it to some extent before, but after all, Cheng Qiantai told it himself, so the reasons were much more detailed.
I don’t know how many years ago, the powerful men of the Seven Holy Lands and the head of the Beimin Sect jointly set up the spirit master barrier.
Each of the seven holy lands has a strongest soul stone representing their holy land, and the Beimin sect's treasure, who knows what it is, brings together the power of the strongest soul stones of these seven holy lands, and jointly connects this land. Spirit Master's Barrier.
Divine Soul Masters and Demonic Soul Masters have never been able to coexist peacefully in Yaotian Continent because of their different philosophies. Speaking of which, in the battle between gods and demons that has lasted for thousands of years, Divine Soul Masters have always been at a disadvantage.
If it weren't for the discord between the three major demon sects, there would have been a war between gods and demons for thousands of years, and there would have been no soul masters left.
After that battle, the soul masters of the Seven Holy Lands could only hide within the soul barrier and never dared to try to get out of the barrier again.
Therefore, this soul barrier is the last barrier to the Seven Holy Lands.
Once this barrier is broken, the only thing waiting for the Shenhun Sect is destruction.
With this reason, can the Beimin faction avoid being targeted by the Demon Sect?
Not to mention the Demon Sect, don’t even the Soul Master sects also want to get this unknown treasure of the Beimin Sect?
With this treasure in hand, the Seven Holy Lands can surrender at the same time. No wonder Qian Gui was so enthusiastic about letting Qian Hai chase Cheng Yu. He just wanted to have a chance to get this treasure so that others would not dare to covet his sect.
As long as the Beimin Sect's treasure is found and destroyed, the Soul Barrier will die, and then the Seven Holy Lands will die.
Ling Xiao suddenly remembered his soul oath.
If I remove this barrier and let the Demon Sect destroy the Seven Holy Lands, does that count as fulfilling my oath?
But Ling Xiao quickly threw this crazy idea out of his mind.
No matter who dares to do harm to the Beimin faction, I will never give him mercy. This was the promise Ling Xiao and Li Yuanhuan made outside Beimin City yesterday.
"Master, can I ask you a question?" After listening to what Cheng Qiantai said, Ling Xiao suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
Cheng Qiantai nodded in approval, and Ling Xiao then asked: "Master probably doesn't know what this treasure is."
Cheng Qiantai smiled bitterly and said: "If I knew, would our Beimin faction still need to be as embarrassed as before?"
"Didn't those senior leaders give any explanation before?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little angry.
The stakes are so high that in the end, even my own family members no longer know what their treasure is, so what’s the point of its existence?
Cheng Qiantai sighed: "It is because this treasure is so important that the leaders of the Seven Holy Lands have always been suspicious of our Beimin Sect. On the surface, they did not say anything, but in fact they joined forces to secretly exclude us. This led to Our senior, who is known for his integrity, did something frightening."
This was the first time Cheng Yu heard about these past events, and he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What happened?"
"Those upright seniors simultaneously sent seven letters to the leaders of the Seven Holy Lands, asking them to come to the Beimin Sect to collect the corpses." Cheng Qiantai couldn't help but feel sad when he talked about this.
Even Ling Xiao and Li Yuanhuan couldn't help but feel cold: "Collect the corpses?"
