After a series of careful preparations and arrangements, many disciples finally took their positions and plunged into intensive training.
However, during this period of time, Xie Qi had already gained a thorough understanding of the entire academy.
He was well aware of all the affairs, backgrounds and intricate network of relationships in the academy.
He even heard more or less about the past experiences of those elders through communicating with other disciples.
At this moment, Xie Qi was lying listlessly on the wooden floor of a room, staring at the ceiling, muttering to himself, "Why do I feel like everyone doesn't look like a good person?"
"Host, who do you suspect?"
Xie Qi sighed deeply before speaking slowly, "Originally, I thought Xue Yun was the most suspicious. But I didn't expect him to save me... And according to Xie Cheng, the murderer exuded a strong elixir fragrance, but Xue Yun doesn't know how to make elixirs, so there's no way he could have that kind of scent."
At this point, Xie Qi paused for a moment, then continued, "To be honest... Elder Liu Yansong looks more and more like a villain."
It is said that Elder Liu Yansong does not get along well with several other elders in the academy.
Unlike the other elders, Liu Yansong only arrived at Wuxing Academy ten years ago, and upon his arrival, he killed the previous Alchemy Academy elder. Since then, he has naturally taken the position of Alchemy Academy elder.
Compared with the other elders who are elegant, handsome and beautiful, Liu Yansong has white hair and a stern face all day long, giving people a feeling of coldness and ruthlessness.
In addition, he usually acts ruthlessly and decisively, so many disciples are afraid of him and dare not approach him easily.
Moreover, Liu Yansong is an alchemist and has the fragrance of elixir on his body.
"948! I'm going to sneak into the Danyuan tonight to find out what's going on."
After making up his mind, when night fell, Xie Qi took out an invisibility talisman and headed towards the Alchemy Academy.
At this time, in a room in Danyuan, Liu Yansong's face was full of excitement. With his hands trembling slightly, he picked up a letter and read it carefully.
After reading the letter, he gently placed it on the table, then carefully took out a small and exquisite bottle from the envelope pocket.
Then, he exerted his internal energy and the liquid in the bottle began to flow slowly, and finally a drop of blood-red liquid floated out of it.
Without any hesitation, he cut open his fingers and then used his internal energy to force a drop of blood out of his body.
As if drawn by some mysterious force, the two drops of blood slowly moved closer to each other, finally merging together bit by bit.
When the two finally merged completely, Liu Yansong felt a sudden tremor in his heart. He even grabbed the letter and the vial again, stumbling towards the alchemy room like a gust of wind.
After entering the alchemy room, Liu Yansong did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately cast the "Life and Death Sensing Array".
He poured the blood in the bottle into the center of the formation, then cut his wrist. The blood flowed along his wrist to the outside of the formation and finally merged with the blood in the center.
As the formation gradually took shape, Liu Yansong's heart suddenly became filled with excruciating pain. His eyes turned slightly red, his legs became so weak that he could not stand, and he collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.
Then, he gritted his teeth, supported himself with trembling hands, and then reached out with all his strength to pick up the letter that had fallen not far away.
After receiving it, he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, then sat down steadily with his legs crossed, and set up the formation in an orderly manner according to the exercises in the letter.
At this moment, a figure quietly appeared at the door of the alchemy room. Xie Qi cast an invisibility talisman, thinking he could observe without anyone noticing, but he had never expected Liu Yansong's perception to be so sharp.
"Who!" Liu Yansong shouted, and at the same time his figure flashed, and the palm wind whistled towards the direction where Xie Qi was.
Xie Qi dodged immediately upon seeing this. Then, without even turning back, he desperately ran away, not stopping until he was a good distance away from the Alchemy Academy. He patted his chest with a lingering fear.
"This old man is too cautious!" Xie Qi muttered to himself while panting.
Fortunately, Liu Yansong didn't seem to have any intention of catching up.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. "Host, I just sensed the energy fluctuations of the system."
Hearing this, Xie Qi couldn't help but frown and asked suspiciously: "System?"
948 nodded solemnly and explained seriously, "Yes, host, it is on the formation that Liu Yansong just cast. It contains a system energy."
"So... he really is the villain?"
948 nodded slightly. "Based on the current situation, this possibility is very high. Even if he is not the real mastermind, he must be an accomplice, otherwise this kind of energy fluctuation would never occur."
Hearing this, Xie Qi walked back in the direction he came from, while falling into deep thought.
After a moment, he muttered to himself, "From Xie Cheng's description, the image of that adult is indeed quite similar to Liu Yansong, but Xue Yun..."
As if seeing through Xie Qi's inner doubts, 948 quickly spoke to persuade him: "Host, do you still doubt Xue Yun? But he is still in a coma."
Xie Qi stopped, glanced sideways at 948, then sighed and said helplessly, "How can anything good happen in this world without a reason? Especially when someone is willing to risk their life to save others like this."
948 said doubtfully, "But Xue Yun seems to be quite popular in the academy, and he treats his fellow students very well."
After hearing what 948 said, Xie Qi said helplessly, "I was just suspicious of him before. Since Liu Yansong used the system energy, there must be something wrong with his formation just now. We can go and take a look when we have a chance."
"Host, should we save Xue Yun?"
Since Xue Yunzhong was poisoned by a mutant monster, although the poison was forced out, he could not wake up.
Even those respected and experienced elders were clueless and at a loss in the face of this situation.
Xie Qi could have saved him, but Xue Yun had always been a suspect. So after seeing that Xue Yun was only unconscious and not in danger of death, Xie Qi decided to let him sleep for a while.
Now that the bad guy has been found, it's time to wake Xue Yun up.
