“Lu Xiao Ji, I'm back!”
As everyone remained silent, a man with shifty eyes and a sleazy appearance walked in from outside.
Although Jiang Chen had never met the man, he guessed his identity from his demeanor and the way he addressed Lu Xiao Feng.
The King of Thieves, Si Kong Zhai Xing!
“Can you please stop calling me that?”
Looking at Si Kong Zhai Xing, Lu Xiao Feng said helplessly, “Did you find anything?”
Si Kong Zhai Xing smiled and said, “I found the bandits’ lair. I learned from one of the bandits that Zhao Zhi Jing knew their leader and was planning to attack someone.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Chu Ji glared fiercely at Wang Chu Yi.
“Did that bandit confirm that Zhi Jing was attacking Zhi Ping? Could it be that Zhi Jing was going to attack someone else and just happened to run into Zhi Ping?” Wang Chu Yi said.
Si Kong Zhai Xing shook his head and said, “Only Zhao Zhi Jing and the bandit leader know who the target is. The other bandits don't know.”
Hearing this, Wang Chu Yi felt a little relieved!
If it were confirmed that Zhao Zhi Jing had killed his fellow disciple, then he, as his master, would also be held responsible!
“Junior brother, Zhi Jing colluded with bandits, which is against the tenets of our Daoist sect. You failed to discipline him, so you will be punished when we return to the sect!” Ma Yu said.
“Yes, Master Teacher!” Wang Chu Yi said.
“Detective Lu, can you analyze the wounds to determine what sword art Zhi Ping and Zhi Jing were killed by?” Ma Yu asked.
“I can't analyze it!”
Lu Xiao Feng smiled slightly and said, “But please wait a moment, Master Ma. A friend of mine is on his way and will be here soon!”
“Lu Xiao Feng, I've arrived!”
Before Lu Xiao Feng finished speaking, a figure in white clothing floated in!
The Sword God, Xi Men Chu Xue!
Xi Men Chu Xue's gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Jiang Chen.
He didn't know why, but this young man in white gave him an indescribable feeling.
“Lu Xiao Feng, why did you call me here?”
Xi Men Chu Xue quickly retracted his gaze and said coldly.
“Brother Xi Men, I want you to see something that I think you'll be interested in!” Lu Xiao Feng said.
Lu Xiao Feng led Xi Men Chu Xue to the bodies of Yin Zhi Ping and Zhao Zhi Jing.
Xi Men Chu Xue only glanced at the sword wounds on their necks, and a look of intense shock appeared on his face.
“What a fast sword!” Xi Men Chu Xue said.
“Brother Xi Men, do you think there are more than ten people in the world who could wield such swordsmanship?” Lu Xiao Feng said.
“There shouldn't be more than ten!” Xi Men Chu Xue said.
Hearing Xi Men Chu Xue's evaluation of his swordsmanship, Jiang Chen was also surprised.
After all, he had never fought against a true sword master, and he didn't know how skilled he was in swordsmanship.
However, after absorbing the sword intent of the Sword Demon, Du Gu Qiu Bai, and practicing the Dugu Nine Swords, Jiang Chen believed that in terms of swordsmanship alone, there were probably very few people in the entire Divine Martial Continent who could match him.
Guo Fu, who was standing next to him, said, “The Ruyang Wangfu of the Great Yuan Dynasty has a sword master named Fang Dong Bai, known as the Eight-Armed Sword. Could it be him?”
“Little girl, although Fang Dong Bai is skilled in swordsmanship, he doesn't reach this level!” Xi Men Chu Xue said proudly.
“Brother Xi Men, then can you recognize what kind of sword art caused this?” Lu Xiao Feng said.
Xi Men Chu Xue carefully examined the wounds on Yin Zhi Ping and Zhao Zhi Jing's necks and said, “Strange!”
“What did you find?” Lu Xiao Feng asked quickly.
“These wounds were probably caused by an ordinary steel longsword. But why would such a skilled swordsman use such an ordinary sword? As for the sword art, it looks a bit like the Dugu Sword Art?” Xi Men Chu Xue asked doubtfully.
Hearing Xi Men Chu Xue's words, Jiang Chen was even more surprised.
He didn't expect that Xi Men Chu Xue could deduce so much from just one wound.
That night, Jiang Chen had used the Dugu Nine Swords to achieve a single-strike kill. He didn't expect that Xi Men Chu Xue would recognize it!
“Dugu Sword Art?” Ma Yu and the others were all puzzled.
They had never heard of the Dugu Sword Art!
“The Huashan Sect of the Five Great Sects has a sword master named Feng Qing Yang who uses this sword art. I once fought against Feng Qing Yang, and his Dugu Sword Art left a deep impression on me!” Xi Men Chu Xue said.
“Our Quanzhen Sect has no grievances with the Huashan Sect. Why would Feng Qing Yang do such a thing?” Ma Yu said.
“Senior brother, let's go to Huashan right now!” Qiu Chu Ji said.
“Gentlemen, although the wounds were caused by the Dugu Sword Art, the murderer may not be Feng Qing Yang!” Lu Xiao Feng quickly said.
“That's right. Feng Qing Yang has been in seclusion for many years and hasn't appeared in the martial world for a long time. He shouldn't be the murderer!” Xi Men Chu Xue said.
“Hmph, even if he's not the murderer, he should be held responsible!” Qiu Chu Ji snorted and said.
“Since that's the case, we'll accompany the three Daoist masters to Huashan!” Lu Xiao Feng said.
“Farewell!”
Ma Yu and the others cupped their fists at Guo Jing and then turned to leave.
Watching Ma Yu and the others leave, Jiang Chen was also dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that Feng Qing Yang would become his scapegoat!
