At this point in Li Jun's speech, Shi Xuan sensed that something was amiss.

If everyone in this city suddenly died, then who suddenly broke into his courtyard and arrested him?

Even if the six sects at that time wanted to send high-level cultivators, it wouldn't have been quick for them to arrive.

These people seemed to have been lying in ambush at Li Jun's door all along, just waiting to grab him to take the blame.

"Do you remember what kind of magical artifact you were crafting back then?" Shi Xuan pressed.

Li Jun smiled wryly, "Of course I remember." How could he forget such a huge commotion caused by this magical artifact?

“It was a string of silver bells. A woman from another tribe, dressed in a colorful robe, came to me and asked me to make it for her,” Li Jun recalled. “She provided most of the materials, and the method of making this magical artifact was quite interesting, so I was attracted to it and took the job.”

"Silver Bell?" It was Lu Shenzhi who suddenly spoke. He narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward, and walked up to Li Jun. "Is it a woman with a snow-white face and a black mole on the corner of her mouth?"

Li Jun thought about what Lu Shenzhi said for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't remember what she looks like anymore, but I remember her fingers. There were three fingers on her left hand with intricate patterns drawn on them. She doesn't look like someone from our cultivation world."

"It's her!" Lu Shenzhi couldn't control his aura for a moment, and a burst of spiritual power overflowed, breaking the only big tree in the courtyard.

Shi Xuan made no attempt to hide her desire to watch the drama unfold. Despite her senior brother's agitated state, she was still eager to see things escalate, and she leaned over with a smile, asking, "Who is it? Could it be that unwanted romantic interest that your senior brother has attracted?"

That sly tone made you want to attack.

But Lu Shenzhi clearly didn't dare to lay a hand on his junior sister.

Aside from not being able to beat her, she was also his biggest creditor.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Wenxing looked at him with bright, inquisitive eyes...

Forget it, I can't afford to mess with that former Nascent Soul stage expert.

Lu Shenzhi turned to Li Jun and continued, "Does her string of silver bells have the power to bewitch people? Is the center of the silver bells red?"

Li Jun was completely bewildered. How did things come full circle, and now it was all related to Shi Xuan's senior brother?

But he still nodded honestly.

"It's a silver bell that can temporarily bewitch people's minds. It can bewitch people precisely because of the red bewitching jade at its center. However, before I could give it to her, it was seized by someone..."

After capturing him, some people took all his belongings, including the newly crafted top-grade magic artifact and his storage space.

When Xuan bought him, he had nothing left, not a single penny.

Shi Xuan immediately noticed something was wrong.

"So, Li Jun didn't actually hand the silver bell over to that woman, but it still ended up in her hands. Interesting," Shi Xuan said, turning to Lu Shenzhi and continuing, "Did Senior Brother suffer a loss over that silver bell?"

Lu Shenzhi nodded, "It was because of that string of silver bells that I was caught off guard and fell under her curse."

It's connected!

Shi Xuan connected these events and concluded: "Therefore, it is highly likely that this was done by the Wu Clan. They first found Li Jun to order the magic weapon, and when it was finished, they could conveniently pin the massacre on Li Jun, killing two birds with one stone."

Li Jun, for so many years, unjustly became a scapegoat, suffering countless injustices, and was eventually sold into slavery.

Li Jun then recalled the time he was captured and said, "I was a little confused at the time. The men who captured me never said a word. Could it be that they were afraid of giving themselves away if they spoke?"

Some things, everyone only knows one side of the story, but when you put them together, you can piece together a complete picture.

Those tribes that are skilled in witchcraft and curses have legends of blood sacrifices from time to time, so it doesn't feel out of place that they were the ones who carried out the massacre.

“Actually, at the beginning, I had my doubts about [New Life], after all, this massacre of the city is so similar to the incident in Wanjian Village,” Shi Xuan said. “But the five sects have already sent people to wipe out all their strongholds, and all the large-scale killings have been recorded, none of which are in Wenqu City.”

Unexpectedly, besides the [Newborn] organization, the Witch Clan was also capable of doing this.

“This witch clan must be eliminated, both for public and private reasons,” Shi Xuan said. “The matter with my senior brother is a personal grudge, but massacring a city is a major event that cannot be tolerated in the cultivation world.”

Lu Shenzhi continued, "But their whereabouts are a mystery, and they haven't appeared in the cultivation world in recent years. Since I returned from the outer realms, I've been offering a bounty in the black market's mission area to find the Witch Clan, but I haven't heard anything yet."

Lu Shenzhi never intended to ignore this deep-seated grudge, but despite offering a bounty for many years, there has still been no news.

At this moment, Lu Wenxing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

He frowned, as if trying to recall something: "I think I know where the Witch Clan's lair is."

"What?" Lu Shenzhi immediately looked at Lu Wenxing. "Where is he? How did you know?"

Lu Wenxing pondered for a moment and said, "When I was still Xin Yao, I think the first place I went after leaving the cultivation world was the Witch Clan. Later, I saw that they were all gloomy, so I broke through the air and went to the Demon Clan."

"Do you remember where it was?" Lu Shenzhi asked.

This clan has been absent from the cultivation world for far too long. Despite offering a bounty for so long to find traces of the Witch Clan, there has been absolutely no response.

However, Lu Wenxing has now regained his memory.

He thought for a moment, and finally said with certainty, "I can find it."

Hearing this, Lu Shenzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He had been busy searching for clues all these years, but he never expected that the key to breaking the deadlock would be the second son.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have needed to put up a bounty on the black market; I could have just asked you directly."

Now that it was confirmed that Lu Wenxing could lead the way to the Witch Clan, everyone felt relieved. Shi Xuan, in a moment of joking mood, asked Lu Shenzhi, "Senior Brother, you actually have spirit stones to offer as a bounty on the black market?"

The slight smile that Lu Shenzhi had just shown froze on his face.

He gave an unnatural smirk and looked at Shi Xuan, saying, "It's like this, I mentioned the name of Master Round Face. If I really find a clue, I'll just ask you for spirit stones."

Shi Xuan was quite surprised: "I didn't even go, and they still believe you?"

Lu Shenzhi shrugged: "You may not know, but in the black market within our sect, those people already know that you are Master Round Face. So, my status as the senior brother is quite useful."

Shi Xuan...

Suddenly, I had a feeling that the spirit stone might disappear without a trace...
