The next day.

early morning.

People from the three major groups walked out of their houses, packed up, washed, gathered their numbers, and prepared to set off.

"Senior Sister Jiang."

Yunqin Fairy Jiang Yin, wearing a blue long dress and holding a jade harp in her arms, walked out slowly under the admiring gazes of all the disciples. She was elegant and refined, like a fairy descending to earth.

She walked up to Bai Liu, the head of Feiyun Sect, and saluted respectfully:

"Master, the headcount has been counted correctly."

Bai Liu was no longer the angry and out-of-control guy he was last night. He was now handsome, elegant, and graceful.

"Okay, let's go."

At this time, the Lei Jian Sect on the opposite side was somewhat nervous, and many disciples were discussing in low voices.

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Mulin. Zheng Mulin understood and went over to ask about it. He quickly came back to report:

"Master, Elder Huang of the Thunder Sword Sect has disappeared."

On the other side, the gossiper Zhou Ling'er was also reporting to Tan Tai Ming Yue:

"Master, Elder Huang from the Thunder Sword Sect has not returned since he went out last night. His belongings are all in the room."

Tan Tai Ming Yue and Bai Liu arrived at the Thunder Sword Sect's camp, only to see Su Long Xiang with an ugly face, angrily scolding a group of disciples:

"Didn't I tell you to go look for him? Where is he?"

Several disciples said tremblingly: "Master, we have looked everywhere, but there is no trace of Elder Huang."

Someone asked weakly, "Did Elder Huang leave early because of something important?"

Su Longxiang raised his fist at the man: "Is there anything more important than the Feixian Ceremony?!"

The man trembled and lowered his head, not daring to speak. Su Longxiang looked around: "Where's Su Hongling?!"

A big hammer flew over from a distance. There was no one on it, but it was shaken towards Su Longxiang. Su Longxiang's expression started to scare him. He jumped onto the hammer and flew away.

Tan Tai Ming Yue and Bai Liu looked at each other, then flew up on their swords and followed.

Soon the three sect leaders arrived at a valley about a hundred miles away from the camp, and saw Su Hongling standing on an open space at the bottom of the valley, waving at Su Longxiang:

"Come down quickly, Huang Kezhou will die here!"

The three of them quickly landed. Su Hongling pointed at the empty space and said, "There are traces of spiritual energy collision around here, and there is a foul smell. It's Huang Kezhou. This guy is finally dead!"

She had a smile on her face as she spoke, and seemed very satisfied that Huang Kezhou was dead.

Su Longxiang couldn't hold back his face and shouted, "Our elder died tragically, and you still have the nerve to laugh?"

Su Hongling said disdainfully: "He is just a piece of trash who repays kindness with hatred. If he dies, then he dies!"

"Rebellious girl!"

"You're disobedient to your father! Do you still want to be beaten?"

"Master Su." Tan Tai Ming Yue stopped the father and daughter from fighting and said to Su Long Xiang:

"Elder Huang has reached the Nascent Soul stage. There are not many people in the world who can kill him silently."

Bai Liu continued, "Master Tan Tai is right. It is also possible that someone he knew suddenly attacked Elder Huang, catching him off guard and causing his death."

Su Longxiang narrowed his eyes: "Brother Bai, do you mean... the murderer is among us?"

Bai Liu said: "At the moment, this possibility seems to be the greatest."

Su Longxiang looked at Su Hongling: "Have you sensed the aura of the person who killed Huang Kezhou?"

Su Hongling shook her head. "This guy is quite powerful. He has wiped out all the smell. If Huang Kezhou's odor wasn't so strong, I wouldn't be able to smell it."

The three leaders discussed for a moment and unanimously decided to go back and check all the people in the three major sects first, to rule out the possibility that their own people committed the crime, and then to report to the outside world in unison.

Soon the four of them returned to the camp, and the three masters gathered the disciples together. Since the Zhenyang Sect was still the leader of the righteous sects in the world, she explained the situation to the disciples of the three major sects.

"Elder Huang was killed?!"

"With such a big commotion, why didn't we hear any noise last night?"

"How could this person be able to kill Elder Huang silently? How terrifying must his cultivation be?"

"Could it be another half-step to becoming a god?"

"Or... someone from the Demon Sect?"

"Impossible. The Qinglian Sect has been destroyed. How can the remaining Tianyun Sect and Chiyun Mountain have such powerful people?"

The disciples were discussing, and Tan Tai Ming Yue continued, "The murder of Elder Huang is a serious matter. In order to rule out the possibility that there are evil people within the three major sects, every disciple must report where they were last night, and everyone must have a witness."

Last night, the three major sects executed their leaders and elders, and the disciples all lived in pairs in one room. Unless two people committed a crime together, if one of them showed any unusual movements, the other would definitely notice it.

This step is also a preliminary investigation, and perhaps someone will reveal their true colors during the investigation.

This is also the purpose of the three masters asking each disciple to tell what they did last night.

Soon every disciple began to report what happened last night. Everyone was practicing or resting in their own room, and their roommates testified for each other.

It was Qin Gengyun's turn. He hesitated and looked at Jiang Yin and Bai Liu: "Last night I... Master, can I not tell you?"

Everyone looked at him in surprise. Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling'er, who were standing next to him, jumped away subconsciously, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Oh my god, I forgot that Senior Brother He is from the Qinglian Sect!

Could it be that he was the one who killed Elder Huang last night?

Su Longxiang's face darkened, and lightning surged in his hands: "Why don't you say it?!"

Su Hongling opened his hand with a snap: "What are you doing? He is my old lover!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Su Longxiang stared at his beloved rebellious daughter in amazement.

Tan Tai Ming Yue frowned slightly: "He Zhi Qiu, why can't you tell me where you went last night?"

Qin Gengyun smiled bitterly and said, "If I tell it, I'm afraid it will damage other people's reputation."

Jiang Yin suddenly said, "Junior Brother He was with me last night!"

Wow!

Wow?!

After these words were spoken, everyone opened their mouths wide and stared at Jiang Yin blankly.

"Fairy Yunqin was with He Zhiqiu last night?"

"Fairy Jiang is aloof from worldly matters, how could she have a tryst with a man?"

"That's not right. Isn't He Zhiqiu Su Fairy's ex-lover?"

"That's not right. Doesn't He Zhiqiu already have a Taoist partner?"

"Oh my god, Fairy Jiang is actually with a married man..."

Just as everyone was shocked, Bai Liu said with a serious face: "Last night, I was teaching Jiang Yin the skills, and I happened to meet this He Zhiqiu."

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and many male disciples breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Liu glanced at Jiang Yin with a warning in his eyes.

Jiang Yin lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

In this way, Qin Gengyun was no longer suspected. Su Longxiang frowned and said:

"Wait, don't you have a Taoist partner?"

Qin Gengyun looked at Ruomei beside him and smiled, "Master Su, my wife went to bed very early last night. After I went out to see Fairy Jiang, I also returned to the room. My wife has been here the whole time."

Thunder Sword Sect elder Xu Zhenqian suddenly spoke up: "Fellow Daoist He, what you said is wrong. During the time you were away, your wife might have secretly gone out to kill someone."

Qin Gengyun said, "Elder Xu, my wife went to bed early last night. Besides, she just entered the Nascent Soul stage. How could she be a match for Elder Huang?"

Xu Zhenqian said: "Fellow Daoist He's words are hard to prove for your wife."

Su Longxiang said to Tan Tai Ming Yue: "Master Tan Tai, this is your disciple. Do you want to judge him or should I?"

Qiu Zhihe's eyes gradually turned cold, and the aura around him began to become eerie.

"After Junior Brother He went out last night, Junior Sister Ruo was with me."

At this time, a simple and elegant voice sounded.
