Chapter 212 Who is the real murderer?

Chapter 212 Who is the real murderer? Really clingy, Xue Wuchen appears

"Who is plotting against me?"

Ye Ming clenched his fists, his face full of anger and hatred.

The old ghost examined him, frowning, and then guessed, "Maybe it's because of the jade pendant..."

"Jiang Lan?"

Ye Ming was stunned and his face turned ugly again.

"Do you still remember the Blood Infant Technique performed by Taoist Zixia?" asked the old ghost.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's face suddenly became gloomy. Back then, when he was in the secret realm of True Lord Zixia, Taoist Zixia tracked him for a long time with the help of the Blood Infant Technique, and he finally got rid of him with great difficulty.

According to what the old ghost said, it seems that the blood shadow just now was probably similar to the Blood Infant Technique.

Could it be that Jiang Lan was planning to use this opportunity to find him?

Then, Ye Ming took out the jade pendant that he had sealed in the Sumeru Ring with a secret method, gritted his teeth, and without hesitation, crushed it with one hand.

"I shouldn't have believed you. That day in Anqiu City, my premonition told me that Jiang Lan must have discovered my identity. You asked me to believe in that Transformation Fruit, saying that only a saint could see my true self..."

Ye Ming regretted it very much now. If he had known that Jiang Lan had already discovered his identity, he should not have kept the jade pendant on him.

After hearing his complaints, the old ghost couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "I am now certain that Jiang Lan must have some magical power or means related to cause and effect. Even saints may not understand the cause and effect. With such means, Jiang Lan can confirm your identity every time."

Ye Ming gritted his teeth and said, "He is simply going too far. What does he think of me? If he wants to kill me, he can just do it. Is he always claiming to be superior and playing the so-called cat and mouse game?"

The old ghost was silent.

After experiencing what happened tonight, Ye Ming's Taoism heart, which had finally recovered, was destroyed again.

Even he didn't understand what Jiang Lan was trying to do. Toy with Ye Ming? Or to use him as bait?

Jiang Lan had many opportunities to kill Ye Ming directly, but he didn't do it.

Instead, it made Ye Ming live in fear and anxiety, destroying his ambition and determination.

If this goes on for a long time, even the most tenacious genius will be tortured to insanity.

"What did Ye Ming do to offend Jiang Lan?"

"In Anyang City, when the hero saved the beauty?"

The old ghost shook his head and sighed. Even he couldn't explain it clearly.

"No matter what, Jiang Lan would not attack you for no reason. You have been considering these days whether to find Ge Qixing and cooperate with him. Now you have no other choice." said the old ghost.

Ye Ming took a deep breath and finally calmed down. Perhaps what happened tonight had a great impact on his mood.

At this moment, he had a desperate look on his face, and said hatefully, "I swear, I will make Jiang Lan pay the price and make him regret everything he has done."

The old ghost looked at Ye Ming in this state, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say much.

Soon, Ye Ming began to pack his bags and prepared to leave. Ge Qixing's whereabouts were erratic and he was not in the Great Xia State Master's Mansion. It was not easy to find out what he was doing.

However, he also has his own way. Ge Qixing definitely wants to avenge his son Xiao Teng.

Ge Qixing has been running the Imperial Master's Mansion for so many years, it is impossible that he does not have subordinates and spies.

"Ye Yun, do you want to leave?"

At this moment, a puzzled voice sounded outside the room.

Xia Jin, who had fled with Ye Ming and others, stood there, looking somewhat confused.

Ye Ming actually didn't have much good feelings towards this elder, and he didn't know why Elder Xia Jin paid special attention to him.

Now he was even noticed while packing his things.

"Replying to the elder, I feel that staying here all the time is not a good idea. There are not many people searching for Elder Yuheng's whereabouts right now."

"So I want to take a look around. These days, opportunities are emerging everywhere, and I also want to travel around and seek my own opportunities." Ye Ming answered without a single mistake.

Xia Jin frowned, but still said, "If you insist on leaving, I will go and tell Senior Brother Yuheng."

Since being exposed, Jiang Yuheng has been carefully concealing his whereabouts and dared not show up.

During this period of time, he has been practicing in seclusion in this small border town and has not asked about anything happening in the outside world.

"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Xia Jin." Ye Ming said respectfully.

Xia Jin nodded, then turned and went to the place where Jiang Yuheng was in seclusion.

"Why is this girl paying so much attention to me? Did someone in the sect tell her about me?"

Looking at Xia Jin's departing back, Ye Ming frowned.

However, he did not intend to let Jiang Yuheng and others know where he was going, so when Xia Jin turned to leave, he returned to the room, pushed open the window on the other side, hid his figure, and then turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared.

Chen Sect's leader Song Shuxu and founder Jiang Chen were both very clear about his origins, so he was not worried that Jiang Yuheng and others would think too much.

"This boy really has a secret and keeps hiding it."

Not long after Ye Ming turned into a stream of light and left, Xia Jin walked into his room, looked at the open window, and remained silent.

"Ye Yun? If he wants to leave, then let him leave..."

Xia Jin did not chase after him immediately, but went to where Jiang Yuheng was in seclusion and told him about this.

But Jiang Yuheng's answer to this made her a little stunned.

"Brother, Ye Yun has many secrets and has made many small moves along the way. Don't you know that?"

"I'm worried that this boy's background will bring unexpected disasters to the Chen Sect." Xia Jin looked worried.

She still has deep feelings for Chen Sect, otherwise she would not have rushed back from the territory of Nanhuangzhou just to investigate the truth of what Jiang Lan said that day.

Jiang Yuheng has always had a good impression of Xia Jin. If someone disturbed his practice, he would have been angry long ago.

But facing Xia Jin, he still maintained his temper and said in a gentle voice, "Junior Sister Xia Jin, don't worry. I know Ye Yun's background better than anyone else. Father also knows it. As for what Ye Yun wants to do, that is his business and has nothing to do with us."

"After a while, when we are out of the spotlight, we will return to Chen Sect."

Hearing this, Xia Jin was completely stunned, then he frowned and left.

"Even Master knows Ye Yun's origins?"

“Could it be…”

Her eyes were full of worry as she looked in the direction where Ye Ming disappeared. After hesitating for a long time, she finally followed him.

A few days passed in a flash.

In the mountains at the junction of Nanmozhou and Zhongtianzhou.

A towering and magnificent palace is located deep in the mountains. The place is shrouded in mist, with green peaks and verdant valleys. The majestic mountains are like a giant standing between heaven and earth, blocking the prying eyes from all directions.

That magnificent palace was extremely gorgeous, with pavilions, towers, incense pools and terraces in front of the palace, all painted in gold and red, fully displaying its nobility.

Occasionally, some rare birds and animals with bright feathers would fall from the sky and come to the nearby lakes to drink water.

Such a palace suddenly appeared in an extremely primitive deep mountain. If there were any mortals here, they would definitely be amazed by it as a miracle.

The strange fog and the undulating mountains covered the surroundings, and even the monks might not be able to notice this place.

Swish! Suddenly, a golden light flashed from the depths of the sky, and a young man in feathered clothes and jade crown, handsome and unparalleled, rode the divine rainbow and landed on a mountain here.

"Master Imperial Master, it is really hard to find a place after moving here, but such a leisurely and leisurely place is in line with the taste of Master Imperial Master."

Jiang Lan put his hands behind his back, smiled, and looked at the scenery around him, as if in admiration.

With a loud bang, the mountains in front shook, the misty fog suddenly dispersed, and a sword light as dazzling as the moon, carrying a murderous intent, instantly fell towards him.

Such power was like the collapse of mountains and seas, and was surrounded by the terrifying force of heaven and earth. Even a thousand-foot mountain would be shattered by a single sword.

However, facing such a sudden sword attack, Jiang Lan had no intention of blocking it. He still stood there with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Buzz!!! The void hummed, and a slender finger that looked like it was carved from fairy jade fell down and landed lightly under the sword light.

In an instant, the world became quiet, and the sharp sword light instantly dissipated into nothingness.

"who?"

An unwilling roar was heard in the dispersing mist, and a beautiful woman rushed out with a sword in her hand. She looked at Jiang Lan coldly with a cold face. It was Lou Long, the former Palace Master of the Goddess Palace.

"Taki, don't be rude."

A clean and simple hand was placed on her shoulder, stopping her.

Behind him, Ge Qixing, dressed in Taoist robes and with a gentle face, walked out expressionlessly.

He first glanced at Jiang Lan standing on the mountain peak, and then looked at the void behind him, saying, "I didn't expect that even the Lord of Ziwei would become someone else's subordinate and serve him."

Ripples appeared in the void, but no one responded.

"Qixing, why are you stopping me? If it weren't for this boy, how could Teng'er be killed? Teng'er's death is closely related to him."

Lou Long stared at Jiang Lan, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.

"What the Imperial Master said is wrong. Ziwei is the future master of Ziwei, and I am the future Emperor of Heaven. She is protecting me in advance. Isn't this what she should do?" Jiang Lan smiled slightly.

Ge Qixing did not respond to this, but asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

He was not surprised that Jiang Lan could find his location. This boy had many tricks and was mysterious, and he couldn't see through them.

"I came here because I have something important to discuss with the Imperial Master."

"I know you have a star map of the Star Martial Secret Vault. In addition, you have two Star Martial Fragmented Keys, so I want to make a deal with you." Jiang Lan said with a smile.

Ge Qixing's eyes flashed, and he looked at him and asked, "What deal?"

Since Jiang Lan had stayed in the Goddess Palace for some time, he must have known that Ji Xuanxin had the star map of the Star Martial Secret Vault.

With his ability, he will definitely be able to get it in his hands.

As for the fact that he knew he had these two things in his hands, Ge Qixing was not surprised.

"Master, give me the star map and the Star Warrior Fragment Key. I will tell you the location of the person who killed Xiao Teng and let you avenge your son." Jiang Lan said with a smile.

"you……"

Hearing this, a flash of anger and sorrow appeared in Lou Long's eyes, and his hatred for Jiang Lan deepened.

Ge Qixing had never expected that Jiang Lan would use this matter to make a deal with him. He suppressed his anger and said coldly, "I haven't bothered you about Teng'er's death, but you came to me on your own. Do you think that you will be safe with Gongsun Ziwei protecting you?"

"Master, please don't be angry. The dead cannot be resurrected. You know exactly why you trained Xiao Teng. Why should you feel bad for a dead person?"

"Take advantage of now, Xiao Teng hasn't been dead for long, you may be able to condense his fate as the Lord of the Stars. Once his fate is completely digested and absorbed, it will be difficult to deal with..." Jiang Lan still had a smile on his face.

"Ah...I'm going to kill you..."

Lou Long finally couldn't stand it anymore. She kept saying Xiao Teng was dead and not long after. She felt that Jiang Lan came here just to provoke them...

However, Ge Qixing suppressed his anger.

He held Lou Long, looked at Jiang Lan coldly, and said, "You know a lot. Then tell me, where is the real murderer who killed Teng'er now?"

Jiang Lan chuckled and said, "It's okay to tell the Imperial Master about this. You can see that Xiao Teng must have died at the hands of the Blood Immortal Cult. I'm afraid Xie Jianjia had contact with the Blood Immortal Cult when she was in the imperial capital. Your son was so stupid that he was toyed with by her. He probably won't understand how he died until he dies. It's really pitiful."

"Stop talking nonsense." Ge Qixing said coldly.

"Before the Star Relics Ruins appeared in the world, I met a person in Anqiu City whose aura was very similar to that of the heir of the Blood Immortal Sect..." Jiang Lan smiled and finally got to the point.

When Ge Qixing heard this, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Lou Taki, who was beside him, was gritting his teeth, wishing he could find this man and tear him into pieces.

"Anqiu City..."

Ge Qixing calmed down. He knew for sure that someone related to the Blood Fairy Sect showed up in Anqiu City that day, and the Saint of the Yao Chi Sect, Ling Zhuyun, was attacked and killed.

"When you tried to subdue the Blood-Cloaked Young Master, you were secretly stopped by someone. Could it be the descendant of the Blood Immortal Sect?"

He connected some of the things he had learned and soon guessed a little bit.

"I'm not bragging, but there are very few people in this world who can kill someone right under my nose without anyone noticing."

"There were indeed a few guys that day who were rather mysterious." Jiang Lan put his hands behind his back and smiled calmly.

Ge Qixing was a little skeptical at first, but if Jiang Lan was lying, he could easily tell.

At the moment, he was about 70% sure.

"Who is that person and where is he now?" Ge Qixing asked again.

Jiang Lan shook his head and said, "Master, have you forgotten the deal I just mentioned?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ge Qixing looked at him with deep eyes, as if he was calculating something, and said, "I can give you the Star Region Map and the Star Martial Broken Key, but I have one more condition."

"Please speak, Imperial Master." Jiang Lan said.

"You must follow me and help me find that person. Before that, I can give you the star map. After you kill that person, I will give you the remaining Star Martial Keys."

Ge Qixing didn't believe that Jiang Lan would be so kind, so he left himself some room.

After hearing this, Jiang Lan seemed to fall into deep thought.

After a moment, he was also very decisive and smiled, "Then it's settled."

Ge Qixing looked at him calmly. From under his wide sleeves, a box sealed with jade flew out. The mist and the glow dissipated, and even the void was illuminated with a crystal clear glow.

"I will come here again in three days to look for the Imperial Master."

Jiang Lan didn't even bother to see if it was what he wanted. He just took it with a wave of his hand, and then left in front of the two people.

"Qixing, this boy is so cunning, why did you hand over the star map to him so easily?"

Seeing Jiang Lan leave like this, Lou Long felt a little unwilling.

Ge Qixing's face was calm, and he said, "I have other plans. The Star Region Map and the Star Martial Key Fragment are not so easy to obtain."

"This boy is arrogant and conceited. He thinks he is favored by the destiny of heaven and earth. He has long regarded himself as the Emperor of Heaven. Sooner or later, he will pay for this karma."

He needed three days to prepare well and bring the two boys he was training at that time.

After taking back the fate of the Lord of Stars, let the two of them start to merge them.

On the other side, after Jiang Lan left the mountains, he tore through the void, controlled the small world to cross the turbulence of time and space, and headed towards the imperial capital.

Ordinary people in the seven realms can cross the void, but not as easily and casually as him. The small world can even offset the impact of the turbulence of time and space at will, which is the foundation of the saint family's career.

Only he could afford the luxury of using it as a "vehicle" to travel through the void.

In less than a day, Jiang Lan returned to the imperial capital and was at his old place, Yuxianfang.

Linshuizhai.

As soon as he drew aside the curtain and walked in, a beautiful figure threw herself into his arms, and they both fell onto the wooden mat on the couch.

"It's only been a few days since we last met, and you're already so clingy..." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly.

Song Youwei had her hair tied up high and wore a white gauze skirt. Her waist was tied with a soft water blue gauze in a pattern resembling a crabapple, and a jade hairpin was inserted diagonally into her bun.

"I can't just think about you..."

At this moment, she threw herself into his arms, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were misty, as if containing autumn water.

Jiang Lan half sat up, held her in his arms, and said, "I have something important to do."

"I went to Caiyi Pavilion specially to change into new stockings today. Do they look good?" Song Youwei ignored him, grabbed his hand and placed it on her leg.

The legs are long and round, and the skin is as white as snow with a bright luster.

Under the silk stockings as thin as clouds, her jade feet are crystal clear, and her arches are slender and white, playfully dyed with nail polish.

"You look good in anything you wear." Jiang Lan shook his head slightly, a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of pampering.

"whee……"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Lan could only wait and do his business.

A few hours later, the river outside Linshuizhai began to ripple, with boats and pleasure boats coming and going, mist rising, and the sound of a woman's melodious voice spreading far away.

"I have received news that Xue Wuchen secretly left Dongyuanzhou more than ten days ago. The inheritor of Kaiyang Origin is unknown whether he is alive or dead, but according to internal information from the Blood Immortal Sect, this person was once surrounded and suppressed by the masters of the Blood Family..."

"The origin of Kaiyang is probably in the hands of Xue Wuchen."

Song Youwei's face was tinged with a smoky color. She leaned lazily on Jiang Lan's chest and reported the situation.

Jiang Lan was not surprised, and then he handed something to Song Youwei.

"Xue Wuchen won't be able to jump around for long. When he is no longer useful, I will take action to avenge you."

"It doesn't matter whether you want revenge or not. It won't affect your plan..."

"Is this the Blood Spirit Orb?" Song Youwei looked at the blood-colored orb in her hand.

"I have refined it again. This time, the All-Spirit Blood Puppet can easily kill ordinary seventh-level masters." Jiang Lan explained.

"Which unlucky guy are you going to attack this time?" Song Youwei took the Blood Spirit Orb and was a little curious.

"I want you to lead the people of the Blood Immortal Sect to rescue this person from Xue Wuchen..." Jiang Lan briefly explained his plan.

Before Xue Wuchen reshaped the Holy Spirit Embryo, he did not dare to easily reveal that he was the reincarnation of the Blood Immortal Ancestor.

For the Xue Family, the true spirit of the Blood Immortal Ancestor is the best material for the Soul Fusion Technique.

The reason why the Blood Immortal Patriarch betrayed the Blood Family was because he had a deep hatred with the Blood Family that was almost impossible to resolve.

If the Blood Family knew that he was pretending to be the ancestor of the Blood Family, they would definitely not allow him to survive in this world.

Soon, three days passed by and Jiang Lan arrived at the agreed hilltop. Half a quarter of an hour later, Ge Qixing also appeared and walked out of the void.

He was alone, without Lou Taki following him.

"I am curious, why did the Imperial Master keep Lou Long by his side until now, and even go against the Goddess Palace?"

"Is there any mystery about this girl Lou Long?" Jiang Lan asked with a smile.

Ge Qixing looked at him deeply, as if to confirm whether Jiang Lan knew something.

"Ling'er is my Taoist partner. What's wrong with becoming an enemy of the Goddess Palace for her?" he replied indifferently.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "I thought Lou Long had accidentally eaten a Seven Star Flower, which caused a trace of the Seven Star Mystery to be contained in her blood. The Imperial Master might want to refine her into a medicine one day."

Ge Qixing suddenly turned around and stared at him intently. His face showed no anger, but was so calm that it was scary.

"Who the hell are you?"

"It's time to set off."

Jiang Lan did not answer. He waved his robe, and the void in front of him split open. He stepped into it.

Ge Qixing's face was gloomy. He resisted the urge to kill Jiang Lan right here, and then followed with an expressionless face.

Zhongtianzhou, in a ruin three thousand miles outside Jixu City.

At this time, night had already fallen, the stars were twinkling, and the moon was high in the sky. This place was once an extremely prosperous sect. For some unknown reason, it attracted a powerful enemy and was eventually destroyed by it. After a long time, only this ruin remained.

At this moment, there was a bonfire, and in the collapsed temple, several figures were sitting around, discussing things in low voices.

"I heard that the master has left Dongyuanzhou and came to Zhongtianzhou..."

"With the Lord personally taking action, we will definitely be able to capture Ling Zhuyun this time. Her spiritual body is crucial to the revival of the ancestor and cannot be lost."

"It's a pity for Xue Wuwang. He shouldn't have been so careless last time in Anqiu City."

"I hope that this time you can personally take action and avenge Xue Wuwang."

"If the ancestor revives, Zhongtianzhou will be our territory..."

While the few people were talking, clouds suddenly floated in from the distance, covering the stars and the moon, making the place even darker, and there seemed to be a strong smell of blood in the air.

Several people were startled instantly and looked towards the source of the smell.

In the darkness, a young man with a handsome face and fair skin was seen walking slowly towards me. He was wearing a white robe that was washed to a pale color. His hair was very black and thick. He had his hands slightly behind his back, in a casual posture, but in the depths of his eyes there was a sense of vicissitudes and depth that looked down on the world.

Behind him, there were many figures following. On the left and right were an old woman with a snake-like bun, wearing a linen robe and a blood-red gourd hanging from her waist, and an old man covered in a black hood, with a cold aura like a ghost.

Behind these two figures, there were many other figures, dozens of people in total, both men and women, old and young. The only thing they had in common was that they were filled with a strong bloody aura.

"Greetings, sir."

When they saw the person coming, everyone in the ruins hurriedly stood up and saluted with great respect.

The young man in the white robe waved his hand and said, "We are all family. There is no need to be polite in front of me. What is the news I asked you to find out now?"

"Reporting to the Lord, it's almost done. Currently, only the blood essence of Yao Chi Sect's Saint Ling Zhuyun is left. We have not collected it yet, but we have asked people to keep an eye on Ling Zhuyun's whereabouts."

"Now that the Lord has personally taken action, her essence and blood will surely be in our pocket." Several people reported.

The young man in white robe smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. We are still one person short. This is quite fast. But I am not here just for this matter."

"Young Master is the descendant of our ancestor. Your affairs are the affairs of our Blood Immortal Sect. As long as you give an order, we will be at your disposal."

Beside him, the old woman in sackcloth clothes immediately spoke respectfully.

The others also hurriedly echoed.

The young man in white robe waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. A little thief stole something from our ancestors. I came here to get it back. But, Bloody Evil Granny, do you have a disciple named Song Youwei?"

The old woman in hemp clothes said immediately, "My lord, I do have a disciple named Song Youwei. She is very talented and is a candidate for the sainthood of the sect."

"I wonder if you have any instructions for this matter, young master?"

The young man in white robe had an intriguing look in his eyes, and waved his hand, "Nothing, I just want to know her current whereabouts. Is she doing well after returning to Zhongtianzhou?"

The old woman in hemp clothes was startled, then shook her head and said, "She has always been a maverick, and I don't know much about her whereabouts. Could it be that the young master wants to see her?"

The young man in white robe laughed and said, "To be able to remove the Nine Spirit Blood Seal on her body, the means of that little thief are indeed extraordinary, but he can't escape from my grasp."

"I did all this deliberately, just waiting for him to take the bait."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and the void was suddenly filled with blood light and blood mist.

A nine-headed strange insect emerged from it, carrying a ferocious and malicious aura that made everyone around it shiver.

"Could this be the Nine Spirit Blood Seal mentioned in the records?"

The old woman in hemp clothes' expression changed as she recognized the ferocious nine-headed alien insect. The other people around her couldn't help but show fear.

The next moment, the young man in white robe flicked his hand, and the nine-headed alien insect turned into a streak of blood light, roaring and disappearing into the void, as if flying towards somewhere.

"Follow it." The young man in white robe said calmly and leisurely, following closely behind.
