When all the first-class disciples were waiting in front of the main hall, Yun Luan and Yun Che came to the crowd. Yun Che said in a deep voice: "A disciple of our sect was killed for no reason, and only the waist badge of this first-class disciple was left at the scene. Gathering everyone together is nothing more than to check whether you have your waist badge with you. If not, then you are the suspect who killed your fellow disciples."
When the disciples heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. The badge of a first-class disciple is very important. Whether entering or leaving the forging workshop or going to the various library buildings to read books, you need a badge to prove your identity. Therefore, everyone treasures this badge and it is very rare for it to be lost. If a first-class disciple's badge was really found next to the corpse, it is most likely related to this incident.
Yun Che continued, "Okay, everyone take out your badges."
The disciples did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly recited the spell to unseal the talisman that sealed the waist badge, took it out and put it in their hands. Lu Ming stood there, not knowing what to do, and could only pray in secret that the method Jing Mo just said would work. At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the crowd. The man said angrily: "Zhao Ziqing! It turned out that you killed your fellow junior brother!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they quickly turned their heads to look at the source of the sound. They saw that the usually honest Senior Brother Zhao was now red-faced, with fear in his eyes, and he stammered, "No... I didn't kill him!"
"Where's your badge?" the person next to him asked sternly.
Senior Brother Zhao was so angry that his eyes turned red. He stamped his feet anxiously and cursed: "I have been with you in the secret realm all day long. Where do I find the time to kill people?!"
The man was stunned and silent for a moment, then murmured, "Yes, since we entered the secret realm, you and I have been inseparable. How could you kill someone right under my nose and I know nothing about it? This shouldn't be the case."
"We can't be sure of the murderer just by looking at the badge." Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "My badge is missing too. I guess I lost it when I was killing the monster. Everyone should check to see if you still have your badge."
After hearing this, the disciples who had not turned over their badges and were sweating profusely on the spot and dared not admit it finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to say that their badges were also missing. Yunluan roughly counted and found that there were as many as seven people who had lost their badges, and Luming and Jingmo were among them.
Master Fuchen, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately said, "I heard that there is a strange beast in the Shuize Secret Territory, called the Spirit Fox. Although this beast is small in size, it is very agile. The Spirit Fox hides during the day and comes out at night. It likes to steal treasures. This kind of situation has also occurred in previous trial competitions. Master, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated again. A waist badge alone cannot determine the true identity of the murderer."
Yun Luan nodded, and then said: "In this case, I will leave this matter to you. Make sure to catch the real culprit as soon as possible."
Fu Chen immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
Yun Che looked at the scene with a gloomy face, and he couldn't help but feel angry. The disciple who eavesdropped on the conversation that day was about to surface, but he never thought that there would be complications. It seems that the eavesdropper was afraid of exposing his identity, so he cast a spell to steal the badges of all the disciples, which created the illusion that it was Xueli who stole. I didn't expect that person to be so bold and dare to act like this in front of everyone, and even escaped everyone's eyes, and even he himself didn't feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy at all. It seems that this person is not an easy person to deal with, and his cultivation must be extraordinary.
Yun Che cast his eyes in the direction of Lu Ming, Jing Mo and Shen Shuyan. If there was a disciple with the best talent among all the disciples present who could steal the badge under everyone's nose without being discovered, it would probably be one of the three. Moreover, the three of them had lost their badges, and they didn't know who had eavesdropped on the conversation that day. Fortunately, the scope was narrowed down again, and there were only seven people in total, which was much easier to investigate than the previous fifty people.
Yun Che glanced at Yun Luan who was not far away, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Yun Luan really didn't trust him enough. He was the one who found the body, but he didn't expect that he would let Fu Chen intervene in the investigation. He was really biased. Now it would be extremely difficult to find any clues from the waist badge. Besides, Fu Chen was smart and sharp, and had quite a lot of means. If time went on for a long time, it would be hard for him to find out something.
However, he was not too worried that the eavesdropping disciple would betray him soon. Since he dared to steal the waist badge in public but did not expose himself immediately, it showed that this person was very suspicious and would not fight a battle without confidence. If there was no sufficient evidence or the time was ripe, that person would never report the matter to Yunluan now. First, Yunluan might not believe it, and second, there was no evidence to prove that he was telling the truth, so now he could investigate the matter with peace of mind. However, it was true that the longer the time was delayed, the more danger there would be. It seemed that their plan had to be carried out in advance.
The matter came to an end for the time being. After Fu Chen ordered his disciples to carry away the body of the deceased, everyone dispersed. Lu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. Today, he was almost harmed by Yun Che without anyone noticing. It seems that he must be more careful in the future. Yun Che is so cruel and ruthless, he might use other extraordinary means to force him to show up.
Jing Mo and Lu Ming returned to the house. Lu Ming immediately closed the door and set up a formation around the room. After making sure that everything was foolproof, he told Jing Mo in detail what he had heard that day.
After Jing Mo finished listening, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression slightly heavy: "If I'm not mistaken, Yun Che should have other actions next. Either he will carry out the plan to assassinate Yun Luan in advance, or he will continue to use the same method to assassinate Kun-Lai disciples. Not only will this force my brother to show up, but it will also make everyone in Kun-Lai feel insecure and panic. Then, when Yun Luan is too busy to take care of other things, he will be killed by surprise."
Lu Ming nodded, and then said: "Yun Che is not only meticulous, but also respectful to the headmaster. No one could have expected that he would lie dormant for hundreds of years just to build up power and secretly pull Yun Luan down from the position of headmaster. If Kun Lai fell into his hands, it would definitely not be as glorious as it once was. As disciples of Kun Lai, we must not let such a sinister person take the position of headmaster. Moreover, if you had not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage in the secret realm, you would not have been able to steal some of the disciples' badges without anyone noticing, which allowed me to escape."
Hearing this, Jing Mo suddenly remembered that Lu Ming had suddenly escaped in the secret realm, and said with an unhappy face: "It's all my brother's fault for suddenly leaving me. I was so angry that I looked for giant beasts to kill. I didn't expect to alarm the white giant beast, so I killed him in anger. I didn't expect to break through the obstacles and break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one breath."
When Lu Ming heard this, he somehow recalled the time when he and Jing Mo helped each other, and his cheeks suddenly flushed. He turned his face away unnaturally, poured himself a cup of tea with shaking hands, and stammered, "It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Jing Mo looked at Lu Ming with amusement, thinking that his shy look was simply too cute. However, his brother was shy, and if he continued teasing, he might get angry, so he smiled and changed the subject, "So, have you thought about how to deal with Yun Che?"
Lu Ming's expression darkened, and there was no warmth in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a slight smile, "I won't let him have the chance to continue to harm others."
Jing Mo asked softly: "Brother, have you come up with a solution?"
Lu Ming smiled faintly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and then said: "Do unto others in their own way. I will make him confess his crime with his own mouth."
at the same time.
A man in a black robe stood in front of the Xuanyue Mirror Lake, his expression slightly gloomy. Beside him was another man in black, but his face was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
The man in the black robe was Yun Che. He said to the man in a deep voice, "Have you arranged everything?"
The man nodded and lowered his voice and said, "Fuchen has been investigating the case of the disciple's murder these days and has no time to take care of other things; Jingmo, He Qingci, Shen Shuyan and others have been normal these days and have been practicing their skills every day; Yunluan was invited by the leader of the Beimen Sect to explain Taoism and will be back in about seven days."
Yun Che said coldly, "That's good. In the next few days, you must kill a few more disciples. Before Yun Luan returns to Kun-Lai to take charge of the situation, you must make Kun-Lai completely chaotic. By the time Yun Luan returns to Kun-Lai, it will be too late."
The man raised his lips and sneered, "No matter how powerful Yunluan is, he would never have thought that his fellow apprentice would betray him; and he would never have thought that the debt he owed would one day cost him his life to pay for it."
Hearing this, Yun Che asked with some confusion: "Why do you hate Yun Luan so much?"
The man replied calmly, "The hatred of exterminating a family is irreconcilable."
Yun Che did not continue to ask questions. The two discussed some planned arrangements and soon left Xuanyue Mirror Lake. However, they never expected that all their conversations had already been heard by Lu Ming and Jing Mo.
Jing Mo said in a deep voice: "Brother, as expected, Yun Che is indeed planning to continue killing Kun-Lai disciples. Moreover, after the commotion he caused in the main hall, everyone in Kun-Lai will focus on us disciples who lost our badges, and think that the murderer is probably the seven of us. No one will doubt that Yun Che is the mastermind behind this."
Lu Ming pondered and said, "I am more concerned about who the man hiding in the darkness is. From what they said, it seems that he has an irreconcilable feud with Master."
Jing Mo's expression suddenly changed, and he winked at Lu Ming, then said casually: "It sounds like an old enemy."
Lu Ming was startled, and an answer that was about to come out came to his mind, making him doubtful. After a long time, he smiled and said, "Master is the head of Kun-Lai. He must have done a lot of things to eliminate demons and defend the way of Taoism. It is very likely that he has made enemies. However, what the mysterious man said may not be true. It may be a cover-up. We should only believe it to the extent that we believe it. When Master comes back, we will ask him in detail."
