"ah!"
As the golden dragon shadow disappeared, the old man let out an even more miserable scream.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen..."
His screams soon turned into shouts, in an attempt to spread Xiao Chen's identity.
Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold and he was extremely anxious, so he had to make it happen!
Swish.
Xiao Chen came closer with Xuanyuan Sword in hand and chopped down fiercely.
Dangdang...
After only two or three rounds, the old man could no longer hold on and fell to the ground under the attack from both inside and outside.
puff!
The dark golden Xuanyuan Sword turned into golden light and pierced into the old man's heart.
"Ah... Xiao..."
The old man's body trembled, his eyes bulged, and just as he opened his mouth to shout, a mouthful of blood gushed out and he could no longer make a sound.
roar!
A faint dragon roar came from the old man's body.
The spirit of the evil dragon devoured madly, not only the vitality, but also the soul.
"Xiao...Wang..."
The old man was shaking with fear and despair.
He regretted it.
I regretted coming to Wang Pingbei alone out of greed, and I regretted even more that I didn’t agree to Wang Pingbei just now.
He also didn't expect that Xiao Chen was too powerful. He didn't even have a chance to fight and directly injured him severely.
Xiao Chen walked forward slowly, looking down at the old man with an extremely indifferent gaze.
He bent down, grasped the Xuanyuan Sword that was inserted into the old man's heart, and pulled it out with a sudden force.
As he drew out the Xuanyuan Sword, a stream of blood shot out, and the old man's body trembled violently and fell heavily to the ground.
The old man could no longer speak, his eyes became dimmer and his movements became smaller.
Finally...there was no movement.
A head poked in.
It’s Wang Pingbei.
He still couldn't help it, and when he heard no more noise in the yard, he looked inside.
He looked at the corpse in a pool of blood and his heart trembled. Is he dead?
roar!
A golden light flew out from the old man's body and returned to the Xuanyuan Sword.
Xiao Chen put away the Xuanyuan Sword and picked up the bone knife next to him.
"If you want to come in, just come in and take a look. After all, we are master and disciple. I can understand."
Xiao Chen said without turning his head.
“Oh…Oh.”
Wang Pingbei walked in slowly, his eyes red.
"I killed your master, do you hate me?"
Xiao Chen turned around, looked at Wang Pingbei and asked.
"No."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"It was his own choice... and you saved me again."
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled, and released his spiritual awareness to sense the outside world.
Although the war ended quickly, it is not certain that it did not attract anyone's attention.
Especially the law enforcers... they have to leave here before the law enforcers arrive.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain what is happening before our eyes.
Wang Pingbei came closer, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
"That's about it, we should go."
Xiao Chen said.
"Um."
Wang Pingbei nodded and picked up the broken knife on the ground.
This is his knife, so he cannot leave it at the scene.
"I plan to use your master's death to make something of it..."
Xiao Chen picked up a branch and dipped it in blood.
"You...are going to leave blood words again?"
Wang Pingbei's eyelids twitched when he saw Xiao Chen's actions.
"What do you want to write? You're not going to write 'Murderer Qing Yunzi' again, are you?"
"Are you stupid? He is the elder of Qingyun Tower, how could he die in the hands of Qingyunzi?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"This pot cannot be thrown on Qing Yunzi's head."
"Then who should I write? Holy Heaven Sect? Holy Heaven Sect is very suitable. Didn't Zhao Cangqiong and the others already confirm that Holy Heaven Sect is in Sifang City?"
Wang Pingbei said again.
"The Holy Heaven Sect is a good choice, but I'd rather have a fight on the second floor."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he picked up a branch and started writing on the ground in a flamboyant manner.
"The murderer... Shanhailou Shanhaijun?"
Wang Pingbei couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the bloody words written by Xiao Chen.
Not only did he frame Qingyunzi, he even spared Shanhaijun, who was as famous as Qingyunzi?
"Brother Chen, if you write about Shanhaijun, will they believe it?"
"I wrote Qing Yun Zi, but they didn't believe it."
Xiao Chen threw away the branch.
"Anyway, I wrote it. I don't care whether they believe it or not... Even if they don't believe it, it will still work."
“…”
Wang Pingbei stopped talking.
"I'm leaving."
Xiao Chen stopped wasting time, looked around, and after making sure there were no clues left, he walked out.
Wang Pingbei took a deep look at the corpse in the pool of blood, turned around, and followed with big strides.
The relationship between master and disciple is severed!
Not only that, his relationship with Qingyun Tower was also completely severed!
From today on, he is no longer the pride of Qingyun Tower and has nothing to do with Qingyun Tower anymore!
The two men left the yard, walked around a bit, and then disappeared.
About three or four minutes after the two men left, law enforcement officers arrived.
When they saw the body in a pool of blood, they were shocked.
"Elder Qingmo from Qingyun Tower?"
Someone recognized the old man and his face changed drastically.
"What? He is the elder of Qingyun Tower?"
"Yes, it's Elder Qing Mo."
"The murderer is Shanhai Lord of Shanhai Tower..."
"Quick, inform the city lord."
"Also, notify Qingyun Tower!"
“Seal off the scene!”
“…”
The law enforcers took action, they all knew...something big had happened.
The person who died was not an ordinary person, but the elder of Qingyun Tower!
It not only involves Qingyun Tower, but also involves Shanhai Jun of Shanhai Tower!
The news spread quickly, and strong men came flying in.
Zhao Cangqiong also rushed over at the first opportunity.
Also coming with him were people who had been discussing important matters at the City Lord's Mansion, such as Lu Hongyun, Ji Wuji and others.
Including Gongsun Zhen.
"The murderer is Shanhai Lord of Shanhai Tower..."
Zhao Cangqiong's eyelids twitched twice as he read the bloody words on the ground.
"What? Impossible!"
Gongsun Zhen's face also changed and he blurted out.
"Senior Brother Qing Mo..."
Wu Qingming looked at the dead old man, clenched his fists, and was filled with murderous intent.
The next second, he looked at Gongsun Zhen with a ferocious expression.
"Hand over Shanhai-kun!"
"Wu Qingming, this is a frame-up... just like the bloody words before, the murderer is Qing Yunzi."
Gongsun was furious.
"It is Senior Brother Qing Mo who died. You, Shanhai Tower, must give me an explanation for this matter."
How could Wu Qingming miss this opportunity? He shouted.
"The murderer..."
Zhou Zhengyang's eyes were cold. Could the murderer be the one who killed his son?
"Two seniors, calm down first."
Zhao Cangqiong had to step in to smooth things over.
"Senior Wu, the dead cannot be resurrected. Let's calm down first and don't fall for the murderer's trick."
“Zhao Cangqiong, this is a matter between my Qingyun Tower and Shanhai Tower. It has nothing to do with you.”
Wu Qingming said coldly.
He knew very well that Zhao Cangqiong would definitely stand on Gongsun Zhen's side.
This matter must be raised to the level of the second floor before Zhao Cangqiong and Shattered Star Palace will be wary.
"Could it be the Holy Heaven Cult that did it?"
Suddenly, someone said.
"The method of killing people and leaving bloody words is almost the same."
"Holy Heaven Sect..."
Everyone was silent, each with their own thoughts.
"Someone, check the area first to see if there are any clues."
Soon, Zhao Cangqiong gave the order.
"yes."
The law enforcer responded.
"Senior Gongsun, has Lord Shanhai ever been to Sifang City?"
Zhao Cangqiong looked at Gongsun Zhen again and asked.
"Of course not. If Lord Shanhai had come to Sifang City today, how could he not take part in the competition this morning?"
Gongsun Zhen said coldly.
"Um."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded. He had not received any news that Shanhai Jun was coming to Sifang City.
This made him suspect that the people who killed Qing Mo were from the Shengtian Sect.
As for motivation…
Does the Shengtian Sect need any motivation for anything it does?
The killing was most likely done to cause trouble and bring chaos to Sifang City.
Under the persuasion of Ji Wuji and others, Wu Qingming temporarily suppressed his murderous intent.
He also knew in his heart that it was almost impossible that Shanhaijun had killed someone.
However, he did not intend to let go of this opportunity.
No matter who the real murderer is, the bloody words are referring to Shanhaijun.
Why did they have to ask Qingyun Tower to give an explanation because of the blood words?
Now, he also wants an explanation from Shanhailou.
"The battle ended quickly. The killer is stronger than Qing Mo."
Lu Hongyun turned around and said.
"The scope of the battle was not that large. It was basically within this courtyard... Even the courtyard walls and the house were not damaged. It is clear that Qing Mo did not have much chance at all."
"Um."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded. Qing Mo was quite powerful, but he was killed like this... This made them feel a little cold in their hearts.
The murderer is too strong!
"Qing Mo has many wounds on his body..."
Lu Hongyun observed the injuries on Qing Mo's body again, and then frowned.
"Did the murderer even wipe out his soul?"
"Kill Qing Mo and Mi Hun in the shortest possible time..."
Ji Wuji narrowed his eyes.
"In this Sifang City, there are not many people who want to do it easily."
After this was said, many people felt even more uncertain.
"Huh? These two knife wounds seem a little different... Did the murderer use two knives?"
Lu Hongyun has made another new discovery.
“Double swords…”
Everyone frowned, looked at each other, and thought again, it seems that there is no strong man using dual swords in Sifang City at this moment?
There is a strong man with two swords in Tianwaitian. Could he be one of them?
Just as they were making various speculations surrounding the old man's body, Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei returned to the main city.
At this moment, Wang Pingbei had already changed into clean clothes and even had his wounds treated.
"Why did you lie to me?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen asked.
"ah?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wang Pingbei's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.
He was very nervous, afraid that Xiao Chen would ask.
Now it seems that there is no way to avoid it.
"I...Brother Chen, I didn't mean to lie to you. I wanted to go see him and will be back soon."
Wang Pingbei whispered.
"He has recognized me. If I don't go, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble... I'm not afraid of what will happen to me, I'm mainly afraid of getting you into trouble."
"You think so?"
Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at Wang Pingbei.
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Wang Pingbei nodded vigorously.
"He's already suspicious of your identity. If I don't go, he'll definitely do something else."
"Do you know why I didn't kill you just now, but saved you?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"W-why?"
Wang Pingbei's heart trembled again.
