After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 416 Who is the murderer (Part )
"An Jueran is dead?!" Pei Yun was shocked.
She knew that what happened in this "Land of Memories" was actually what really happened. Their so-called "cracking" was just to make up for the regret in An Jueran's heart, but it could not change the reality. So if An Jueran jumped off a cliff and died in the "Land of Memories", then he was really dead in reality!
"According to what you said before, the owner of this Ghost King City is a ghost cultivator. Then An Jueran must be dead. There is nothing surprising about this..." Ye Chi said indifferently.
Pei Yun came to his senses. It was true that An Jueran would only become a ghost cultivator after his death, but Pei Yun did not expect him to die so easily.
"How do we act now?"
"I think all of these people present are suspicious..."
"Especially his disciples!"
At this moment, An Jueran had been taken away. The old man's other four disciples were surrounding his body and crying sadly. The master had people move the old man's body to the prepared jade coffin and place it there temporarily.
“…After we find out the truth of the matter, we will give Elder Ju a proper burial…” The head of the sect sighed and left the room with the other elders.
The leader's son couldn't help but glance at the calm woman before leaving, and their eyes met again after a silent exchange.
Pei Yun thought about it and decided to divide the people into two groups. Liang Feng, Zhao Han and Fu Lingchen formed a group to go to Jueqing Cliff to guard An Jueran and see if anyone had contact with him.
She and Ye Chi went to investigate the situation of the old man's other four disciples. Dividing into two groups would allow them to find clues faster and more comprehensively, but she was afraid that Ye Chi would attack the other three companions while she was away, so she had to go with Ye Chi to prevent him from secretly hurting people.
"Elder Pei, you have to be careful!" Liang Feng looked at Ye Chi coldly.
"rest assured."
Pei Yun looked at the backs of the three people leaving, and without paying any attention to Ye Chi, he walked alone in the direction where the four disciples had left.
Ye Chi folded his arms, stared at her back, and followed her leisurely.
The old man lived on the top of the mountain, and his disciples lived on the mountainside or at the foot of the mountain. Pei Yun first followed the pretty girl and came to her room.
After the pretty girl entered her room, she closed the door tightly. The heartbroken expression on her face changed instantly, leaving only indifference and undried tears. She murmured:
"...Master, how could he be dead? Could it be...that kid An Jueran must have murdered Master in order to steal that technique..."
Pei Yun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her talking to herself. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The pretty girl came to her senses, and once again showed a sad look, choking with sobs as she said, "Come in."
A man pushed the door open and walked in. It was the old man's third apprentice.
"Fourth Junior Sister." The man showed concern, walked forward, and gently took the woman's hand, "I came to see you. Master was suddenly assassinated, you must be very sad..."
The pretty girl burst into tears and threw herself into the man's arms, saying, "Third Brother, Master has been so kind to us, we cannot let the person who hurt him go..."
"You're right."
"Third Brother, An Jueran just told us that Master called him over last night and said that he wanted to teach him a new technique. Do you think... could it be the supreme technique that Master obtained a year ago?" The woman lowered her eyes and said softly.
The man's heart was moved. He came to find the girl for this purpose. However, he said, "I heard that the master has only communicated with the head of the sect about this supreme technique. How could the master teach such a precious and important technique to An Jueran..."
"That's not necessarily true. An Jueran's spiritual roots and talents are extremely extraordinary. Ever since he became Master's direct disciple, Master no longer went into seclusion and stopped teaching us. Instead, he focused all his attention on him..." the woman raised her head and said.
"...If it's really as Junior Sister said, then why would An Jueran want to harm Master? Master loves him the most, he has no reason to..."
The man analyzed, "I think it's very likely that after An Jueran heard about this supreme technique, he became greedy and colluded with outsiders to kill the master..."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and felt that what the man said made sense, but the most important thing at the moment was: "Third Brother, who do you think has this supreme technique now?"
The man did not speak, but looked at the woman, and a greed arose in the hearts of both of them.
"Fourth Junior Sister, why don't we go pay respect to our master at midnight tonight? Also... this supreme technique belongs to our master, and we, as his disciples, must not let it fall into the hands of outsiders..."
"Third Brother is right."
Pei Yun saw that the two of them stopped talking about business and started flirting with each other, so he left the room and walked down the mountain...
At this moment, the old man's second disciple and his cousin were also having a secret conversation in the room. What they talked about was nothing more than the old man's supreme martial arts secret book. The two decided to find some time to go to the old man's palace to look for the secret book.
As for the old man's eldest disciple, that calm woman was not in her room and no one knew where she had gone.
Pei Yun thought to himself, it seems that the old man's death is related to the secret book of supreme martial arts. Could it be that someone wanted to seize the secret book of martial arts and killed the old man?
But there was one thing that puzzled Pei Yun. An Jueran was right next to the old man at the time. If he wanted to harm the old man because of the secret book, why didn't he just kill An Jueran at the same time? Instead, he went to so much trouble to give An Jueran the Ecstasy Powder. This was simply a waste of time!
He didn't want to kill An Jueran, but wanted to put the blame of the old man's death on him. Why?
While Pei Yun was silent, Ye Chi spoke: "When I entered for the first time, I realized that An Jueran was the key to breaking the secret, so I possessed a person and killed the four disciples who were against him and the son of the headmaster, but I still couldn't break into this 'land of memories'..."
Hearing this, Pei Yun frowned and said coldly: "Of course, An Jueran wants the truth, not a simple massacre. Even if you kill everyone in this sect, you can't break into this place..."
"Can't kill."
"what?"
"We can't kill them. We can only possess people whose souls are weaker than ours. The leader of the Wandao Sect and their chief elder are stronger than me. I can't possess them. If I force myself to possess them, I will suffer backlash..." Ye Chi reminded casually.
Pei Yun was slightly startled, glanced at him with a strange expression, and said: "Let's go back. Since everyone is fighting for this supreme skill, if we get it first, we can have an advantage..."
Pei Yun and the other returned to the top of the mountain. In the old man's hall, there happened to be two disciples guarding the jade coffin. Without saying a word, the two possessed the two disciples and began to search everywhere...
But after searching for most of the day, until the sun went down, they didn't find any clues. Even the old man's storage magic tools were searched one by one.
When night fell, there was movement outside the door. A man and a woman with their faces covered walked in. As soon as they entered the room, they ran straight towards them. Pei Yun and the other man took advantage of the situation and left the bodies of the two disciples while they were knocked unconscious.
At this time, the man and woman took off their veils. They were not the third and fourth disciples of the old man as Pei Yun thought, but his eldest disciple, the calm woman, and the son of the sect leader, the man who had suggested to the sect leader today to imprison An Jueran.
The two of them didn't waste any time talking, but started searching quickly, but like Pei Yun and the others, they didn't find any clues.
The man snorted coldly, "This old man is so cunning! He hid the skills so deep that we can't even find them!"
"Didn't Master share this martial arts secret with the headmaster? Doesn't your father know about it?" the woman asked.
"My father said that your master only mentioned to him that he had recently obtained a precious technique that might help him achieve a breakthrough, but he did not share the technique with my father..."
The man walked out of the room and said, "Let's go to Jueqing Cliff. Before your master died, only An Jueran was by his side. Let's go ask him!"
The woman followed him, staring at his back with an ambiguous look, pretending to be calm and said, "Who murdered Master? Fifth Junior Brother is only in the late stage of foundation building, there is no way he could kill Master!"
"How should I know this!" The man did not notice the woman's gaze and said to himself, "My father has ordered people to seal off the entire sect, and the elders of each peak have also checked it out. No strangers have broken in..."
"That means... the only ones who can kill my master are a few elders and... the headmaster."
The man turned around suddenly and asked angrily, "You suspect my father?!"
"……of course not."
Seeing the woman's obedient look, the man stared at her for a moment before softening his tone: "Let's go, find An Jueran..."
As he walked, he said, "If it was really my father who killed your master, would I still have to come with you to look for the secret manual of that martial arts technique?! Apart from my father and I, only you disciples know this supreme martial arts technique. I see that you are still paying attention to your fellow disciples..."
Pei Yun followed behind the two of them, listening to their conversation, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind...
