"By the time Wu Qingming reacted, he only had time to make that one expression, and then... that was it."
Xiao Chen was feeling uneasy. How powerful must the spiritual energy be to be able to instantly tear apart or even destroy Wu Qingming's soul?
Although Wu Qingming was seriously injured, his spirit was fine.
To destroy the soul of such a powerful man... is not only difficult, but also not an easy task.
Even the Xuanyuan Sword could not devour Wu Qingming's soul in an instant.
"The bone ring should be able to do that..."
Xiao Chen sensed it as carefully as possible. This terrifying spiritual energy made him feel a chill in his heart.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and withdrew his hand from Wu Qingming's forehead.
"Chen Xiao, how is it?"
Zhao Cangqiong looked at Xiao Chen and asked hurriedly.
"Senior Lu just told me that it might be that a powerful person's spirit left his body and killed Elder Wu..."
Xiao Chen said this and glanced at Lu Hongyun.
"Well, we have thought of this before, and it is very likely."
Zhao Cangqiong nodded.
“Otherwise, it’s hard to do.
"Is there any method that can have a similar effect? This soul power instantly destroyed Elder Wu's soul, which shows how strong it is... Such a strong man should not bother to kill people secretly, right?"
Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
"The main thing is that there is no motive at all... Oh, Gongsun Zhen has it, but he definitely doesn't have the ability."
“…”
After hearing this, Gongsun Zhen didn't know whether to thank Xiao Chen or scold him.
"Destroy Senior Wu's soul in an instant..."
Zhao Cangqiong looked at Wu Qingming and nodded.
"If it is true that the soul is out of the body to kill, there are not many people who can do it."
"Well, it's possible that it's just like what I said. For example, is there any method that can achieve similar results? For example, there are some magic weapons, magic tools, secret methods, etc."
Xiao Chen said this and looked at Gongsun Zhen again.
"In this case, he is still a very suspicious person. Maybe he has such a method, which has nothing to do with his own strength."
"Bullshit! If I had such means, you would be the first one I would kill!"
Gongsun was furious.
"Look, he's feeling guilty again, and he's angry out of shame... He's even more suspicious."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
“…”
Gongsun Zhen almost vomited blood. Who wouldn't react if someone said that?
Is this a guilty conscience?
Are you angry out of shame?
"If it's really like what you said, then the scope is even greater."
Zhao Cangqiong seemed to be thinking about something.
"Such means do exist, but... they are also extremely rare and precious."
"That's right."
Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei also nodded. As old hands, they were knowledgeable and naturally knew it.
There is something they didn't say explicitly...that is, isn't it not worth it to kill Wu Qingming in this way?
"Not necessarily. A person's value is not measured by strength."
Xiao Chen understood what they meant and shook his head.
"City Lord Zhao, if Xiaoji's life is in danger, are you willing to use such means to save his life?"
"willing."
Zhao Cangqiong said without even thinking.
"If you are willing, then others are likely to be willing too."
Xiao Chen said calmly.
“…”
As Xiao Chen finished speaking, many eyes fell on Gongsun Zhen's face.
Everyone present was a strong man, not a fool... They all understood what Xiao Chen said!
In order to protect Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang, Gongsun Zhen used some means to kill Wu Qingming!
boom!
A overwhelming murderous intent rose from Gongsun Zhen.
He can't bear it anymore!
Ever since Xiao Chen came, he has been bullying him again and again. Do they really think he has a good temper?
Before he could do anything, several terrifying murderous intentions spread out.
He is a strong man from Qingyun Tower.
They looked at Gongsun Zhen with murderous intent.
They all suspected Gongsun Zhen as well, and if they hadn't investigated the matter thoroughly, they would have taken action long ago.
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, they became even more suspicious of Gongsun Zhen and couldn't help but take action.
Although Qingyun Tower suffered greater losses and was at a disadvantage in yesterday's battle...but Elder Qian had just passed on the news of Wu Qingming's death.
Soon, strong men from Qingyun Tower will be teleported here.
Therefore, they are not afraid of a fight at all!
As the strong men from Qingyun Tower burst into murderous intent, the strong men from Shanhai Tower also stepped forward and stood on both sides of Gongsun Zhen.
The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak at this moment, becoming tense and ready to explode.
Xiao Chen felt the tense atmosphere and laughed in his heart. It was impossible for Gongsun Zhen to get rid of suspicion.
While they were on the verge of a fight, Xiao Chen rubbed his hand on Wang Pingbei's clothes.
Wang Pingbei was stunned. What was he doing?
Then he realized that he was feeling disgusted with Wu Qingming because he had met him before.
So, just wipe your hands with your own clothes?
That’s too much!
I don't mind?
I hate it too!
"Everyone, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, but... there are some possibilities."
How could Zhao Cangqiong allow the two sides to fight here? He said in a deep voice.
"We can consider Chen Xiao's statement, but in this case, the scope will be even larger, and it will be more difficult to find the murderer."
"Hmph, maybe the murderer is right in front of us..."
Elder Qian snorted coldly and stared at Gongsun Zhen.
"As a powerful person in Shanhai Tower, he might have such a secret treasure..."
"As the elder of Qingyun Tower, do you have any?"
Gongsun Zhen asked back with a sullen face.
“…”
Elder Qian couldn't refute it; he didn't.
"Just because Elder Qian doesn't have it doesn't mean you don't have it. You've dominated Sifang City for many years. Who knows how many treasures you've gotten."
Xiao Chen said calmly.
"There's a saying that whoever benefits will be the most suspicious... Elder Wu is dead, so your benefit will be the greatest."
"Chen Xiao, you are also suspected of being a cultist. Maybe you were the one who killed Wu Qingming!"
Gongsun said angrily.
"Don't forget, you haven't gotten rid of suspicion yet."
"I was just at the inn, how can I kill someone?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Maybe you were out of your mind, killed Wu Qingming, and then put the blame on me."
Gongsun Zhen stared at Xiao Chen.
"Oh, if I had such means, why would I go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just take your life?"
Xiao Chen sneered.
"The one I want to kill the most is you."
"Okay, stop arguing. Chen Xiao, what else do you see?"
Zhao Cangqiong spoke up when he saw the conflict re-emerge.
"No, I've already said what I can see."
Xiao Chen shook his head and bowed slightly towards Wu Qingming, as a way of giving an explanation to the strong man from Qingyun Tower.
After all, he came in under the pretext of "coming in to see Wu Qingming", so how could he not show any expression?
Then he looked at Gongsun Zhen again and turned to leave.
"Let's go out too."
Zhao Cangqiong said slowly.
"We should try to keep this place as it is. Once we find the murderer and give Senior Wu an explanation, we can hand it over to Qingyun Tower."
"Um."
Elder Qian nodded.
Then, everyone left the room.
Outside, Xiao Chen was asking the guards how they discovered Wu Qingming was dead and whether there was anything unusual.
The guard shook his head, indicating that there had been no movement in the room for a long time, so they went to take a look.
The result was shocking.
Xiao Chen thought about Wu Qingming's dead look, staring at the door with his eyes wide open... Wasn't he scared?
He was also shocked when he entered just now.
"By the way, Senior Lu, is there any poison or something in this world that can destroy a person's soul?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked Lu Hongyun.
"I haven't heard of it. If it was poison, there should be other abnormalities. But we carefully examined his body and found nothing else."
Lu Hongyun shook his head.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and stopped thinking about it.
Just as they were chatting about this, someone walked in quickly.
"City Lord Zhao, something happened."
"What happened again?"
Hearing this, Zhao Cangqiong's heart skipped a beat and he asked.
"Zhou Zhengyang...is dead."
Someone came and said.
"What?"
"Zhou Zhengyang is dead?"
"Tianqing Sect's head, Zhou Zhengyang?"
Everyone was shocked and there was an uproar.
This is no ordinary character, the Tianqing faction is also a powerful force.
Zhou Zhengyang came here because of his son’s death, but in the end... he died too?
Xiao Chen was also surprised. What the hell, is that true?
He had thought about killing Wu Qingming to make the water even more muddy... but later he suppressed the idea, and then Wu Qingming died.
Later, he heard about Zhou Zhengyang and wanted to kill Zhou Zhengyang again... He was thinking about how to kill him, but the person was already dead?
Wang Pingbei subconsciously looked at Xiao Chen. Wasn't he the one who killed him?
That’s not right. He has always been with Xiao Chen, how could he kill Zhou Zhengyang!
"Whoever I want to kill will die?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself and looked at Gongsun Zhen. When will this old guy die?
If he really wanted to kill anyone, the first one to die should be Gongsun Zhen!
"What's going on?"
Zhao Cangqiong frowned. Zhou Zhengyang’s death in Sifang City was another troublesome matter.
"Just now, someone went to look for Zhou Zhengyang and found that he was dead... The details are not clear yet."
The visitor shook his head.
“…”
Zhao Cangqiong's expression changed. Zhou Zhengyang was still very strong and not weaker than him.
In the end, he was killed just like that?
It seems that there is not much movement, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago.
First Wu Qingming died, and now Zhou Zhengyang died... Could this be just the beginning?
"Lord City Lord..."
Law enforcement officers came in.
"We just went to the scene and the murderer left bloody words."
"What bloody words?"
Zhao Cangqiong asked hurriedly.
"Fin Zi comes, Fin Zi dies, and the cause and effect are settled!"
The law enforcer replied.
“…”
Everyone's eyelids jumped. Zhou Zhengyang's death was related to his son?
The murderer... is the same person?
Didn’t they say that it was the Holy Heaven Sect that killed him?
Did Zhou Zhengyang also die at the hands of the Holy Heaven Sect?
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were even more uneasy.
Zhou Zhengyang’s son was not killed by the Shengtian Sect at all!
So, who would kill Zhou Zhengyang now?
"Fin Zi comes, and Fin Zi dies, ending the cause and effect..."
Xiao Chen repeated the sentence, but he still had no clue.
"These are eventful times... I have to go check it out, everyone."
Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.
"Senior Ji, will you come with me? Senior Huai is staying in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"good."
Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei responded that it was impossible for both of them to go.
Here...there is also the matter of Wu Qingming!
