Chu Xisheng gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

He thought Leng Chanra was about to draw his sword and fight to the death with them.

Instead, Leng Chanra let out a “tsk” and chose the path of the wise by reconsidering. He retracted his hand from the sword and said, “Search me if you must, but it has to be that Five-tailed Wind Beast. I’d rather die than let anyone else search me.”

Chu Ming’s brows furrowed slightly, his expression puzzled, “Why is that? Why must it be her?”

Upon hearing this, Leng Chanra scoffed with disdain and glanced at her, “Of course, because I can’t trust anyone here!”

He saw that among the people here, it was only Chu Xisheng’s demon pet that had the simplest nature.

Perched on the treetop, Chu Xisheng, reputed to be the Iron Flag Gang Leader, was known in the south for his bold and righteous reputation.

However, Leng Chanra had already seen through him; in fact, he was of the same ilk as Fang Bu Yuan—dark-hearted to the core.

Yet, his demon pet was young, equivalent to a youthful Human Clan girl in her early teens, with eyes clear and pure.

Even if Chu Xisheng wanted to command it to do something malicious, the Five-tailed Wind Beast wouldn’t be capable of doing it without giving itself away.

Chu Xisheng still didn’t let down his guard, raising an eyebrow, “Little Zhao, you go check him for anything suspicious, especially for any Void Magical Artifacts. Be careful!”

He was worried that Leng Chanra was deliberately luring Bai Xiaozhao to approach.

But when Bai Xiaozhao came close and patted Leng Chanra’s limbs and chest with her paws, she turned her head and gave Chu Xisheng a slight shake.

Bai Xiaozhao hadn’t searched thoroughly, but the faint thunder power she emitted had already covered all parts of Leng Chanra’s body inside and out.

The slight thunder, once it came into contact with the Magic Artifacts and War Patterns on Leng Chanra’s body, would naturally react and trigger the spiritual mechanism.

Not only was Bai Xiaozhao clear about Leng Chanra’s condition, but everyone present roughly knew what kind of Magic Artifacts and War Patterns he had on him.

Chu Ming’s expression relaxed slightly, the wariness in his eyes easing a bit.

Then, she also leaped up into the air and arrived beside the body of Fang Bu Yuan, pressing on his neck to sense.

“Fang Bu Yuan died 15 minutes ago, just before we came,” she said.

Chu Ming, with deep family knowledge in Martial Arts, soon made a discovery, “The killer used swordplay, likely the long-standing ‘Divine Qi Unhurt Sword’ in Jianghu, or a similar sword technique. The swordplay was swift, specializing in breaking the Gang and causing internal explosions. Moreover, there’s residue of Thunder Power within Fang Bu Yuan’s body; the person might possess a Thunder Bloodline.”

She then questioned Leng Chanra again, “Brother Leng, you said you saw the killer from afar. Did you notice any particular features about this person?”

“I didn’t pay attention,” Leng Chanra held his sword with both hands, his tone cold, “We entered the Secret Realm and agreed to meet at the volcano using Flying Talismans. When I noticed Fang Bu Yuan was attacked, I was forty li away.

After that, I hurried over, but only managed to cover twenty li before Fang Bu Yuan bit the dust. From such a distance, how could I see clearly? Moreover, I was focused on rushing over. However, if the person appears before me, I should be able to recognize him.”

Chu Ming’s brows furrowed again.

Her gaze swept over the people below, a trace of profound light flashing in her eyes.

Naturally, Leng Chanra was the person with the greatest suspicion.

The two Inner Sect brothers present could also be the killer.

Chu Ming recognized these two, the one who had pressed Leng Chanra earlier was called ‘Fierce Sword’ Guo Nu, and the other ‘Wind and Thunder Poles’ Ancient Sword, both previously among the top ten of the Qingyun List in the Northern You State.

The Qingyun List in You State is highly authoritative, even surpassing that of Wang’an City, with rankings that are very close to the Qingyun General List.

One was twenty-three and the other twenty-two years old. Having accumulated several years at the Sixth Grade tier, whether in Cultivation Technique, Martial Arts, Magic Artifacts, or War Maps, both were among the top ranks with an overall strength to match Leng Chanra.

The key point was that both of them wielded swords and possessed Thunder Bloodlines.

Chu Xisheng and Zhoou Liangchen were also not exempt from suspicion.

Chu Xisheng’s Sword Speed was unparalleled, and he was also skilled in Thunder Skill.

His blade could be exchanged for a sword as well.

It was Chu Xisheng who had rescued her two minutes before. If he used a high-grade tunneling talisman, he had enough time to kill Fang Bu Yuan.

“Could it be the work of a Demon Cultivator who sneaked into the Secret Realm, or a Cultivator from the Guiyuan Sword Sect?” she pondered.

‘Wind and Thunder Poles’ Ancient Sword, with his clear, handsome features and composed demeanor, turned to scan the dense forest around, “To my knowledge, the Guiyuan Sword Sect has the inheritance of the ‘Divine Qi Unhurt Sword.’ There is also the ‘Three Thousand Guiyuan Swords’ which can achieve similar effects.”

The Guiyuan Sword Sect is one of the Six Great Divine Sects of the current era, their ‘Three Thousand Guiyuan Swords’ touted as the patriarch of tens of thousands of swords in the world.

It is said that the ‘Guiyuan Sword Intent’ contained within could simulate eight to nine-tenths of the power of all sword techniques in the world.

However, this sect was the sworn enemy of the Formless Divine Sect.

Located in the Northern lands close to the Formless Divine Sect, the two sects were inevitably in conflict as they conducted various business dealings locally, leading to conflicts that would call for allies and result in battles.

After several thousand years, the Guiyuan Sword Sect and the Formless Divine Sect have accumulated deep-seated enmity.

Although they sometimes collaborate against the giant god bloodline in the Northern lands, they spent more time as mortal enemies, inevitably clashing upon encountering each other.

“The issue is that their smuggling routes are not nearby. One is at Xuanwu Ice Mountain, and the other near Wind Blood Cave, almost fixed every year.”
