With Lin Yu's mediation, Li Chengang finally agreed to a ceasefire, pending further investigation before making a final decision.
The disciples of the Shadowless Sect were all dissatisfied, but now that their master had expressed his opinion, and with the martial arts alliance leader's guarantee, they couldn't say anything more.
Afterwards, Lin Yu led Liu Jingwu and others to the crime scene, which was the Wuying Sect's martial arts school.
Just as Lin Yu and the others were leaving.
An Audi A6 slowly drove down the mountain.
Inside the car, Zhao Liangyou slowly put away the golden silk thread, saying with a regretful expression, "It's a pity that the Lin family brat still arrived, preventing me from taking the opportunity to get rid of those two old bastards, Liu Jingwu and Li Chengang!"
Zhang Wanghai's face was grim. "I never expected this boy's cultivation to be so profound. My son Zhang Xu's death was not in vain!"
He was surprised that his son, who had brought so many experts from the Red Dust Sect, including a martial arts grandmaster, was still killed by Lin Yu.
Now he understood completely: this boy's cultivation level had already caught up with that of a supreme expert!
This was terrifying—a powerful expert in his early twenties with such a formidable family background. Thinking of this, Zhang Wanghai felt a sense of despair, unsure how to avenge his son!
"Patriarch Zhang, don't be anxious. Things are done step by step! This kid's cultivation level has also exceeded my expectations. We definitely can't win by force, but we can outsmart him!" Zhao Liangyou stroked the silk thread, a slight cold smile playing on his lips.
Compared to his cultivation level, his greatest skill lies in cunning!
Since he could outmaneuver Li Chengang and Liu Jingwu, he was confident that he could also outmaneuver Lin Yu!
Zhang Wanghai, however, looked worried. "Patriarch Zhang, now that the Lin family brat has gotten involved in this matter, do you think he might have discovered any clues?"
Zhao Liangyou smirked coldly as he stroked the golden thread and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen. This golden thread is Chen Yannan's signature hidden weapon. I stole it from her to shift the blame! Even if they do discover something, they'll only think it was Chen Yannan's doing, and it has nothing to do with me, Zhao Liangyou! Hehehehe!"
After Zhang Liangyou finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a cold, mocking laugh.
He paused, then said, "For now, let's put this matter aside. The most important thing next is the Martial Arts Tournament! I must secure the position of Martial Arts Association President for my master, but it can't be under the name of my Red Dust Sect. So, you need to help me package myself and participate in the Martial Arts Tournament under a new identity!"
“That’s easy!” Zhang Wanghai immediately agreed. “Our Zhang family already has several martial arts schools, which have always been managed by my nephew!”
At this point, he turned to the man in the front passenger seat and said, "Chaoyang, I'm leaving this matter to you. From now on, you will use our Zhang family's martial arts school to build momentum for Mr. Zhao!"
It turns out that the man in the passenger seat was Zhang Wanghai's nephew, Zhang Chaoyang!
Now that his son Zhang Xu is dead, Zhang Wanghai only has this one nephew left, and he places high hopes on this nephew.
Zhang Chaoyang immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, Uncle, leave this to me. I will definitely handle it perfectly for you!"
Zhang Wanghai nodded. This child has been clever since he was a child, and he is also steady in his work. He can rest assured to entrust things to him.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Yu and the others had arrived at the Shadowless Sect's martial arts hall.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! Wake up!"
As soon as they stepped outside the training room, they heard a mournful cry.
It was none other than Li Xin, who had been guarding this place all along!
Li Xin had vowed to marry Liu Haoran since she was a child, but now that her beloved was dead, her heart felt like it was broken!
"Xin'er..."
Upon seeing this scene, Li Chengang's old eyes reddened.
Most people just thought he had lost his apprentice, but little did they know that he had also lost a grandson-in-law at the same time!
Although he was a martial arts master with unparalleled skills, he was also an old man with flesh and blood. Who could understand the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person?
At that moment, Li Xin heard footsteps and turned her head shakily to look.
Upon seeing Liu Jingwu and the others, she jumped to her feet, her face contorted with rage, and shouted, "Liu Jingwu, you actually dare to come here? I'll kill you! To pay for my senior brother's life!!"
Overwhelmed with grief and beyond fury, Li Xin disregarded Lin Yu and Li Chengang's presence and charged directly at Liu Jingwu!
Liu Jingwu's expression changed slightly, but before he could make a move, Lin Yu suddenly stepped forward and subdued Li Xin in an instant.
"Let go! Let me go!! Senior Lin, I know you are a master of martial arts, but this is a matter for my Shadowless Sect. Please do not interfere!" Li Xin roared angrily.
"Xin'er, don't be rude!"
Li Chengang shook his head helplessly, but still spoke up, "Alliance Leader Lin came here this time to find out the cause of your senior brother's death. Let him investigate first before making a conclusion!"
"What's the point of investigating this!"
Li Xin gritted her teeth and stared coldly at Liu Jingwu: "That dagger belongs to the Fenglei Martial Arts School. It's obvious that my senior brother was assassinated by Liu Jingwu. A murderer must pay with his life; this is an unchanging truth!"
Lin Yu shook his head, pressed her pressure points, and put her down. "If it really was Director Liu who did it, I don't think he would be so stupid as to leave such obvious evidence. There are many strange things about this matter. After I examine the body, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Li Xin wanted to make a move, but her power had been sealed, so she could only let Lin Yu do as he said.
"Fine, I'll let you investigate, but if you can't give an explanation to our Shadowless Sect after you've finished, I, Li Xin, swear that I will assassinate the people of your Wind and Thunder Martial Arts School in the future! I'll kill one for every one of them, and I'll kill both of them if there are two!" Li Xin swore fiercely.
"you!"
Liu Jingwu's apprentices all glared angrily; this girl was simply too vicious.
Liu Jingwu waved his hand and said calmly, "I, Liu Jingwu, am upright and have nothing to fear. Let's just wait and see what Teacher Lin's decision is! If the Shadowless Sect insists on smearing me, then I, Liu Jingwu, will risk my life to fight the Shadowless Sect to the end!"
"How arrogant!"
Faced with such provocative words, the disciples of the Shadowless Sect were also enraged.
Li Chengang waved his hand dismissively, simply indicating to Lin Yu, "Alliance Leader Lin, the rest is up to you!"
Lin Yu nodded and went directly to Liu Haoran's body.
Clearly, the stab wound to the chest was fatal!
However, after pondering for a moment, Lin Yu frowned and uttered a surprising statement.
"The fatal wound was not a knife wound; the dagger must have been inserted after death!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked to hear this!
