Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 414 - 202: The Death of Tan Feng_2

This time, Chen Yi acted seamlessly. He was confident that even if the Golden Core Ancestor came for an investigation, no clue would be found,

From the beginning to the end, Chen Yi acted entirely under the cover of Tan Feng's Mana and Divine Sense,

At the moment of Tan Feng's death, Chen Yi had hidden in the Martial World,

Directly establishing that when Tan Feng vanished, within dozens of miles in this world, there was no trace of Chen Yi's aura.

Even after hiding in the Martial World, Chen Yi stashed the quasi-third-tier puppet and the quasi-magic weapon, Ice Shadow Knife, inside the Martial World,

In this way, he could prevent Yang Dan and Aunt Qin from tracking down his location through any backdoor traces on the magic weapon or puppet, thereby finding him,

Although the opponent, a Pseudo-Core, does not have such means,

Even if they were True Core cultivating monks, besides those who have practiced special skills, such as divination, or monks with unique spiritual power location skills, it is impossible to lock onto a location based on magic weapons,

Of course, Nascent Soul cultivators should have many ways to find people through items they have used, but the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance has no Nascent Souls, so Chen Yi doesn't have to worry about this.

Basically, having completed these steps, as long as Chen Yi doesn't reveal himself, nobody would find out that he killed Tan Feng if he reappeared with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

As for how the others chased and killed Zhao Jingwu, that Chen Yi did not care about.

Afterwards, Chen Yi kept his attention on this place through the Martial World,

Nearly a month later, Yang Dan was the first to discover Tan Feng's death.

After watching Yang Dan confirm various details, conclude the cause of Tan Feng's death, and took away Tan Feng's body, Chen Yi was assured.

But he was not in a hurry, and instead returned to this world alone, hiding under the reef several miles away, waiting.

This location was just right as it was where he could probe the site of the battle between Tan Feng and Zhao Jingwu using his divine sense, enabling him to keep an eye on the situation from the Martial World.

He knew the investigation here was probably not over yet, and for the moment, he didn't find it appropriate to leave the Demon Territory and return to Little Cold Peak.

Sure enough, on the fifth day after Yang Dan and the others had left,

Chen Yi remotely sensed a formidable ray of light rapidly approaching. Chen Yi immediately vanished and once again hid in the Martial World,

The person was still more than a hundred miles away, too far for even a True Core Great Cultivator to sense.

From the Martial World, Chen Yi observed that the visitor conducting the investigation was True Person Chengji of Qinglong Island,

True Person Chengji looked very serious,

He had been watching the bustling scenes in Wangyue City. After this battle, Qinglong Island basically achieved their main strategic intent,

After Old Yang gave in, Ling Jingjing and Qinglong Island jointly opened up the commercial route from Spirit Mist Marsh to the Xuantian Continent. The profits from this were huge.

Yang Jiang's new Core Formation, that was Yang Dan, had to become cultivation partners with his outstanding disciple, Tan Feng, under the agreement with Old Yang,

Even if Yang Dan disagrees now, as long as Tan Feng also becomes a True Core, she won't be able to refuse,

On the major direction, to vie for the Yang Family's business line from the outside,

From the inside, Tan Feng, another disciple, would nibble on the Yang Family's existing businesses,

Even if it took ten or twenty years to consume, as long as the relationship between the two is stable and they have descendants, won't the surname be Tan?

Then, the Yang Family's assets would eventually be consumed,

All of this had been well planned,

Suddenly, the soul token of his beloved disciple, Tan Feng, stored in his storage bag, shattered!

Tan Feng was dead?

How could this be possible?

Even when Qi Yunzu, a newly advanced Golden Core, died, he was not so shocked,

Tan Feng was very cautious, how could this happen here?

About ten days later, Yang Dan brought back the news, told True Person Chengji the real situation, and handed over Tan Feng's body to him,

True Person Chengji was furious and originally wanted to rant at the Yang Family and demand a compensation of 100,000 spirit stones,

But seeing that Yang Dan had also formed the True Core, and her status was now equal to his, he swallowed his complaint,

After clarifying all the details from the Yang Family,

True Person Chengji personally came to the scene of the incident,

He meticulously investigated the cause of Tan Feng's death using his Core Formation secret method, and recorded every piece of Mana aura that appeared before and after Tan Feng's death,

And recorded each one,

In the end, he arrived at a conclusion - there was only one person who had appeared here and could have killed Tan Feng,

That person was Zhao Jingwu.

"Sect Master, I want to invoke the Qinglong Order to issue a warrant for Zhao Jingwu within the scope of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance. The live capture of Zhao Jingwu is rewarded with 20,000 spirit stones, death is rewarded by 10,000 spirit stones, and accurate information is rewarded with 3,000 spirit stones!"

"I will personally provide these spirit stones!"

"Additionally, I request to deploy the Dark Dragon Organization to investigate all movements concerning Crystallisation Pills within the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance over the next twenty years, including all newly established Core Formation practitioners.

"For this, I am willing to pay the corresponding price."

Upon returning, True Person Chengji sought out Sect Master True Person Qingming, who was with Ling Jingjing,

After explaining the details to True Person Qingming and Ling Jingjing, they agreed to Chengji's request.

Their orders were passed on,

And within the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, every corner, including the right, the left, the lawful, the evil, the magic, the Loose Cultivators, saw a top-level bounty appear overnight:

Capture Zhao Jingwu!

Two months later, after confirming that no cultivator from the Demon Territory was coming, Chen Yi quietly left the Demon Territory and returned to Little Cold Peak. When Wu Cong came to report, he finally learned about it.

"What? You're saying the Loose Cultivator, Zhao Jingwu, murdered Tan Feng, a core disciple of Qinglong Island? How is that possible?!"

Chen Yi was surprised at the story of Zhao Jingwu, even causing his tea in hand to tremble, almost spilling it.

"The newly established Golden Core in Wangyue City was killed by Elder Yang's Family? The rise of the Yang Family was once again restrained? Elder Yang's Family exhausted his life force, leaving less than 20 years of life left?

"The Yang Family prodigy, Yang Dan, has established a True Core, securing the future of the Yang Family?"

"I was only in seclusion for a few months, how could so many significant events have happened while I was away?"

Chen Yi looked exceptionally surprised,

"Even geniuses with Golden Core potential would be exterminated, the outside world is too dangerous, it seems safer to stay inside."

Chen Yi sighed deeply.

"Zhao Jingwu has such nerve, to dare to kill Tan Feng, a core disciple of Qinglong Island and the prospective husband of the Yang Family's True Core.

"What a pity, Tan Feng had such an impeccable background and superior talent for cultivation. If he were to continue to cultivate unbothered, he was likely to successfully establish a True Golden Core."

"Speaking of which, I have run into Tan Feng a few times.

Even,

A few months ago, Tan Feng had requested some talisman scrolls from me, but he never came to pick them up."

"I thought he had forgotten his promise, but it turns out that he met with a tragedy.

Life is so unpredictable."

Chen Yi sincerely expressed his feelings,

He even brought up the events of meeting Tan Feng a while ago. His words were filled with remembrance for a past client, lament for the demise of a genius, and a deep sense of regret for an acquaintance suddenly departing this world.

The relationship between Tan Feng and Chen Yi had evidence, including the past hostility in Wangyue City. Many knew that Yang Dan once stole Chen Yi's top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, which was planned by Tan Feng,

This fact Chen Yi couldn't hide, thus he couldn't completely clear his name. He was left to downplay it.

Wu Cong listened earnestly to Chen Yi's feelings, keenly observing his facial expressions and tones.

He couldn't find a single hole in Chen Yi's narrative,

It perfectly matched Wu Cong's feelings and reactions when he first heard the news.

Wu Cong honestly did feel a bit happy about the demise of Tan Feng who ousted the Wu Family and became a core disciple. Having someone to avenge this grudge for him cleared a burden from Wu Cong's mind.

With his mind now clearer, Wu Cong felt a deep sense of empathy similar to Chen Yi's. It's unbelievable that the genius was dead. When thinking about the people he had offended before, Wu Cong felt a chill down his spine.

However, upon further thought, Wu Cong wasn't entirely convinced even though he knew none of the details. He felt there was something off about the affair.

Wu Cong had had dealings with Zhao Jingwu,

Upon meeting Zhao Jingwu a few times, he displayed a hot temper, prone to bearing grudges, and seemed brutish,

But was also shrewd. When dealing with formidable enemies, he wouldn't rashly strike.

Wu Cong always felt that even if Zhao Jingwu wanted to take action against Tan Feng, he wouldn't leave behind such significant evidence,

Something was definitely going on here.

"Doctor Chen, have you really been in secluded cultivation in your cave mansion for the past few months?"
