Chapter 404: Diverting trouble to others, the thief cries "stop thief"!
Qin Mo's arrival was warmly welcomed by Guiyuan Sect.
Although Qin Mo was only an inner disciple of the Yuxu Palace who was at the fifth level of Earthly Immortal, everyone in the Guiyuan Sect was skeptical about whether Qin Mo could solve the case.
But this did not prevent them from flattering Qin Mo.
For Guiyuan Sect, being able to take the opportunity to make friends with Yuxu Palace is a great gain in itself. It doesn’t really matter whether the case is solved or not.
Qi Sheng had been dead for more than three years. Apart from Qi Sheng's disciples, who in Guiyuan Sect would care about this? Some people even profited from it and increased their voice in the sect.
I wonder how they would feel if they knew that Qin Mo was the murderer.
Although Guiyuan Sect had no hope of solving the case, Qin Mo put on a show. After understanding the situation, he said to Guiyuan Sect Master Zhou Yuanpei, "Since Qi Sheng is a sword immortal, can we still find any traces of his sword intent in Guiyuan Sect?"
"Sword intention?"
Zhou Yuanpei didn't know what Qin Mo meant, so he subconsciously said, "Elder Qi often practices swordplay at the Sword Testing Cliff, so his sword intent should still be there."
"Then let's go to the Sword Test Cliff." Qin Mo said straightforwardly.
Under the watchful eyes of Guiyuan Sect's disciples, the group soon arrived at the Sword Testing Cliff, which was actually a protruding rock cliff covered with sword marks.
only,
The Sword Testing Cliff is not Qi Sheng’s cave residence, and various sword intentions remain on it .
Qin Mo looked at Zhou Yuanpei and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Zhou, for capturing a glimpse of Qi Sheng's sword intent."
“This is not difficult.”
Zhou Yuanpei is a ninth-level Earthly Immortal. Like Chen Feng before him, he is a powerful being who is only one step away from entering the realm of True Immortal.
Zhou Yuanpei just put his hands together and pointed, and clenched his right hand. Without any movement, a ray of pure sword intent appeared in his hand, which was upright, peaceful, but with a hint of stubbornness.
"Good move!" Qin Mo smiled and applauded.
"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself!"
Zhou Yuanpei wanted to see what Qin Mo wanted to do with this sword intent.
Qin Mo's mind moved, and he summoned the Qingfeng Sword. He rolled up the sword intent and flew it high into the sky. The Qingfeng Sword burst out with a brilliant sword light, like a constellation of stars in the sky.
Among the Guiyuan Sect disciples present, those with flying swords were still shaking.
"This is……?"
Zhou Yuanpei was the most shocked. He looked at Qin Mo with a look of surprise and said in admiration, "Senior Brother Liu is indeed a true man who never reveals his true colors. He has actually realized the realm of breaking all laws with one sword."
His cultivation is higher than Qin Mo's, but he still calls Qin Mo senior brother, which shows that he is extremely cunning.
Everyone sighed!
Qin Mo, however, had a blank expression on his face. He made sword gestures with his hands and followed Qi Sheng's sword intent to sense the location of the cave where he had killed Qi Sheng before.
This is one of the wonderful uses of one sword to break all methods, and it is extremely sensitive to the sword intent.
It can even track sword intent.
"We have a clue." Qin Mo pointed to the south.
Zhou Yuanpei was shocked and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I will go with you."
"Okay!"
Qin Mo did not refuse. The two of them raised their swords and flew towards the south, leaving behind a group of astonished people.
"As expected of someone from Yuxu Palace, this is too amazing."
"One sword can break all laws. That is a realm of swordsmanship that many True Immortals have not been able to comprehend."
"I don't know what clues we can find this time..."
…
Two hours later.
Qin Mo brought Zhou Yuanpei to an unnamed mountain. The Qingfeng Sword was still shaking. He smiled and said, "The sword's meaning is in this mountain."
"Let me see!"
Many people in Guiyuan Sect were indifferent to the investigation of Qi Sheng's death, but this definitely did not include the sect leader Zhou Yuanpei. He had to find out whether Qi Sheng died of personal grudges or a sect feud.
The two are completely different in nature.
If it is just a personal grudge or because of inferior skills, then there is naturally nothing to say; but if this is a conspiracy against Guiyuan Sect, then you have to be careful.
Last time,
After obtaining the Yang Fish from the South Sea Immortal Palace, Guiyuan Sect suddenly became the target of public criticism, and undercurrents surged outside.
It was precisely because he could not withstand this tremendous pressure that Zhou Yuanpei took the opportunity of Yun Zhongjun's 6,000th birthday to present the secret treasure to Yuxu Palace in a very high-profile manner.
This calmed the turmoil.
Even so, there may be some people who are unwilling to give up and are trying to trip up Guiyuan Sect in secret.
Zhou Yuanpei expanded his spiritual sense and scanned the mountain inside and out. He soon found the cave and said gloomily, "It's right there!"
The two men pressed down the sword light one after the other and came to the front of the cave.
Entering the cave,
I saw a pile of white bones lying in the cave. Every bone was crystal clear and exuded a faint sword intent, indicating the owner's unwillingness.
At first,
Qin Mo set fire to Qi Sheng's body.
But Qi Sheng is an immortal after all. His flesh and blood can be dissolved, but his bones are difficult to burn into ashes.
"Is it Qi Sheng?" Qin Mo asked inexplicably.
"It's Qi Sheng."
Zhou Yuanpei's face was extremely ugly. He recognized the sword intent at a glance. It could not be anyone else except Qi Sheng. He murmured, "How cruel."
The dead are great,
Qi Sheng died tragically, and his body was left like this for three years without being able to be reborn. This is a blasphemy to the immortal practitioners.
"Huh?"
Qin Mo suddenly frowned, "Sect Master Zhou, do you sense a trace of demonic aura?"
"????"
周元培豁然抬头，神识将洞府扫描了个遍，果然在墙壁上残留着一丝魔道气息，面色更阴沉了，“难道，齐盛师弟是死于魔道贼子之手？”
He subconsciously thought of the Yinmo Sect.
"How dare you, you evil thief, commit a crime in Yuxu Palace? You really don't know how to live or die." Qin Mo said righteously, and then changed the subject, "Elder Qi, have you ever had a grudge with the evil thief?"
"this……"
Zhou Yuanpei's expression changed constantly, he gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest with you, Senior Brother Liu, if there was any real enmity, it was probably the treasure hunt in the South Sea Immortal Palace four years ago, when the Guiyuan Sect and the Yinmo Sect had a conflict."
"The Yin Demon Sect?"
Qin Mo raised his eyebrows. "I heard that during that expedition, Sect Master Zhou led the disciples of Guiyuan Sect to show their might and annihilated the Yinmo Sect. How could it be possible?"
Zhou Yuanpei's face became even more embarrassed. At this point, there was nothing to hide. "The Yin Demon Sect did suffer heavy losses, but the Yin Demon Sect Master Chen Feng escaped with serious injuries."
"So, this was done by Chen Feng?" Qin Mo raised his eyebrows.
“This shouldn’t be the case…”
Zhou Yuanpei still had doubts in his heart, "Chen Feng was severely injured by me. Even if he didn't die, he would have to retreat for decades to heal his wounds. It is even more impossible for him to sneak to Xuandu Xianzhou and kill Junior Brother Qi Sheng."
"If it's not Chen Feng, does Guiyuan Sect have other demonic enemies?"
"this……"
Zhou Yuanpei was speechless.
"Then we can only go to Momeng Danzhou to find out the truth." Qin Mo said lightly.
"Senior Brother Liu, please be careful."
Zhou Yuanpei was horrified, "The Demon Dreamland is a den of dragons and tigers, don't go there lightly."
Just as Xuandu Xianzhou is a forbidden area for demon cultivators, for immortal cultivators, Momeng Danzhou is also a forbidden area for them, and they dare not go there easily.
Even a true immortal like Changmei could only enter quietly.
One is not good,
If discovered by the demonic monks, they might attack in groups.
"Don't worry, Sect Master Zhou," Qin Mo smiled slightly, "I still have to report this matter to the sect and ask the elders in the sect to make the decision. I will not act on my own."
Qin Mo took on the sect's mission to investigate Qi Sheng's death, not for the sake of those few sect points, but in the hope of muddying the waters thoroughly, preferably to stir up a dispute between the immortal and demonic paths.
Good idea,
However, whether it is Yuxu Palace or Tianmo Dao Sect, they are all giants. There are many old foxes in the sect who have been fighting for thousands of years. They are not so easy to instigate.
We still have to take it step by step.
Uncovering Qi Sheng’s death and introducing the existence of Chen Feng is just a wedge.
"That's good!"
Zhou Yuanpei thought so too. Why should he worry about it? How could a disciple of an immortal sect be stupid?
"Now that the matter here is settled, please ask Sect Master Zhou to be a witness. After I return, I can also report to the sect." Qin Mo's face remained calm and he handled the matter flawlessly.
"It should be. It should be."
Zhou Yuanpei was so smart that he took out the photo stone, preserved the evidence, sorted it out, and handed it to Qin Mo. "Senior Brother Liu has helped Guiyuan Sect a lot. I don't know how to thank you."
He was really in a dilemma.
For an inner sect disciple of Yuxu Palace like Qin Mo, if the gift is insignificant, people will look down on it; if the gift is too expensive, Guiyuan Sect may not be able to afford it.
The key is not to give up...
"I am only following the sect's rules. If Sect Master Zhou wants to thank you, then thank the sect." Qin Mo declined.
"How can I say this?"
Zhou Yuanpei was also an old fox, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "From now on, Senior Brother Liu is an honored guest of my Guiyuan Sect. Whenever you are free, come to Guiyuan Sect again, and I will definitely treat you well."
"Sure, sure!"
Since the goal has been achieved, Qin Mo was too lazy to deal with this old fox. He raised his sword and disappeared into the distant sky.
After watching Qin Mo leave, the smile on Zhou Yuanpei's face faded. He turned around and took another look at Qi Sheng's skeletal corpse. His face was indescribably gloomy.
"Could it be that it is really Chen Feng?"
Zhou Yuanpei suspected that Chen Feng had obtained some kind of opportunity, and that he was not only alive but also well. He killed Qi Sheng, most likely in order to seize Yangyu.
What a pity,
He gave the Yangyu to Yuxu Palace first.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanpei was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he was not greedy and decisively gave the hot potato of Yangyu to Yuxu Palace. Otherwise, there would be endless troubles.
"only……"
A gleam of gloom flashed across Zhou Yuanpei's eyes.
