Chapter 527: Chapter 449: Fleeing North + Chapter 450: The Real Culprit Behind the Scenes_3

"Senior Brother Ming Xiao, the rescue signal is right here. Can you tell if Senior Brother Taiyan is alive or dead?"

Before he even asked the question,

Fang Chengdong already had an answer in his heart.

They had merely left the Immortal Mansion Heavenly Cave not long ago. The three of them had agreed to observe the situation for a while before taking action.

However, Zhang Taiyan hurried down the mountain as if rushing to meet the Underworld.

Dead in these wild hills, without a sound.

Gu Mingxiao swept his sleeve.

A gust of wind suddenly rose on the hillside.

This gust of wind appeared peculiar and followed an ingeniously clever path.

Instead of disturbing the grass and soil, it directly blew open a large pit, exposing some fragmented bones and blood.

With the soil no longer concealing them,

the familiar aura could no longer evade the perception of the two.

"It’s the work of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Dissolving Saber, dissolving muscles and blood, turning bones to sand..."

Gu Mingxiao’s voice was slightly sharp, tinged with a metallic tone, uncomfortable to the ear, as if piercing the frontal lobe.

However, it was this unique voice that made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He reached out and grabbed a wisp of air, sniffed it at his nose, and then said, "The enemy has left long ago, there’s not much information in the air."

Gu Mingxiao’s eyes shimmered slightly.

In fact, he sensed quite a few things he smelled—unusual fluctuations of mist and moisture and a fading hint of alcohol.

But there was no need to mention this.

Discussing it would involve his own Sect, which was hardly interesting.

In fact, he didn’t think this was internal strife within his sect.

The logic was simple.

The Inner Residence Elder was far stronger than the External Affairs Elder of the Main Mountain, not to mention other disciples.

Even if internal strife was desired, it couldn’t be incited.

Moreover, the traces of the Divine Blood-Dissolving Sword were too obvious, and it was basically clear who the murderer was; there was no need for further speculation or complications.

"Another Blood Transformation Sword? In Guangyun City, my Fang family also had a true inheritor fallen to this blade. It seems that Lord Cui indeed has some unclean dealings. Even if he isn’t the one acting personally, he can’t completely disassociate himself."

Fang Chengdong said coldly, "However, that guy always hides within his mansion’s array, looking at the momentum, the Blood God seems about to achieve true form. The Second Spiritual Tide has just started. It’s really difficult to deal with him...

No, Cui Guangling, even if he’s a fool, wouldn’t continue to target the elders and disciples of our Cloud Water Sect. He doesn’t have the courage."

With that said, Fang Chengdong became puzzled again.

Evidence that appeared overt often couldn’t be directly used as evidence.

Some people liked to spread confusion, leading others towards the wrong direction for investigation.

This kind of situation not only occurred frequently in mundane society but in Jianghu and the cultivation world, even more so.

Because nobody knew which Sect had unique methods that could disguise someone else’s actions.

Even if seen with one’s own eyes, some suspicion should be reserved.

Even more so when it was just the traces of a Divine Blood-Dissolving Sword.

"Could it be a case of borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

Gu Mingxiao shook his head with a rueful smile and spoke lightly, "Whether it’s borrowing a knife to kill or not, Junior Brother Fang is adept in the River Map of the Ghostly Passage technique. Maybe he can’t question a soul that hasn’t opened its Divine Aperture or gathered Divine Will, but why not ask Junior Brother Zhang’s spirit to find out what happened?"

This was also why Gu Mingxiao didn’t care about the matter.

He was a demon-formed disciple.

While it sounded prestigious, in reality, he was just the mount and pet of the three Primordial Ancestor Masters of the seventeenth generation of disciples of the Cloud Water Sect.

The Three Primordial Ancestor Master, with powerful Divine Skills and martial might dominating his peers, was highly revered.

Hence, his position as both a mount and pet also elevated a bit, and upon meeting peers, he would also be addressed as Senior Brother.

But, Gu Mingxiao understood in his heart.

The respect shown on the surface, and the inner thoughts of others, were two different things.

Some flattered him on the surface, admiring his capabilities, but deep down, they considered him to be among those with fur and horns, essentially not having a promising future.

Frankly, he was looked down on.

Therefore, he didn’t really have any emotional attachment to these Cloud Water Sect disciples.

If it weren’t for a calamity of Demonic Barbarian invasion, and he hadn’t sensed an opportunity for himself, he wouldn’t have hurried out of the Immortal Mansion Heavenly Cave in the first batch.

As one knew, when the Spirit Tide hadn’t fully revived yet, this world couldn’t mobilize much of Heaven and Earth’s Divine Opportunity. Even someone in the True Martial Realm wouldn’t be much stronger than those Grandmasters of the Heavenly Resonance Rank.

If he really encountered a defiant and rising hero, it was very possible to be counter-killed, dying a terribly meaningless death.

’Under such circumstances, to not act cautiously but rather openly use power to oppress others, wanting to achieve something significant and seize the initiative, I don’t know what Zhang Taiyan was thinking?’

He thought of how Zhang Taiyan, upon leaving the Immortal Mansion, immediately summoned all major External Affairs Elders of the Main Mountain, declaring that Huangze County was now a great opportunity, and all disciples and elders should support it with all their might.

Even more, he couldn’t wait for those elders and disciples, deeming their actions too slow, scolded them, and alone, rushed directly to Huangze County.

Such a demeanor hardly held any grace of an Immortal Sect Elder.

Although Gu Mingxiao was just a big Old Eagle and prided himself on being spiritually transcendent, he didn’t think too highly of the other.

However, now that the other was dead, no matter what, he needed to fulfil the duty of a "fellow brother" and help investigate the murderer. If revenge could be taken, then take revenge; if the enemy’s power was too strong, he could only apologize.
