Huashan Sect, back mountain!
Feng Qing Yang looked at the sword marks on the necks of Yin Zhi Ping and Zhao Zhi Jing in the ice coffin, completely dumbfounded!
What was going on?
“Senior Feng, if I'm not mistaken, these wounds were left by the Dugu Sword Technique, right?” Xi Men Chu Xue said.
“That's right, these wounds were indeed left by the Dugu Sword Technique!”
After examining the wounds, Feng Qing Yang confirmed that the wounds on Yin Zhi Ping and Zhao Zhi Jing were indeed caused by the Dugu Nine Swords.
“So, you admit to killing Yin Zhi Ping and Zhao Zhi Jing?” Qiu Chu Ji said in a deep voice.
If Feng Qing Yang admitted to being the murderer of Yin Zhi Ping, even if he was outnumbered, Qiu Chu Ji was determined to fight to the death to avenge his disciple!
Feng Qing Yang shook his head and said, “I have no past grievances or recent feuds with the Quanzhen Sect. Why would I kill Quanzhen disciples? It's clearly someone framing me!”
“Senior Feng, I remember you once told me that you were the only one who knew the Dugu Sword Technique in the entire world. Could there be someone else who knows the Dugu Sword Technique?” Xi Men Chu Xue said.
Feng Qing Yang hesitated for a moment and said, “I have passed on the Dugu Sword Technique to my Huashan disciple, Linghu Chong!”
“Linghu Chong?”
Qiu Chu Ji said, “I hear that Linghu Chong and Tian Bo Guang are close friends. Zhi Ping was chasing after Tian Bo Guang recently, so it must be your disciple who helped Tian Bo Guang and attacked my disciple!”
Even Lu Xiao Feng found Qiu Chu Ji's analysis quite reasonable.
“Where is Linghu Chong now?” Ma Yu asked.
“Linghu Chong is here!”
At this moment, a young man rushed over, it was Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sect.
“You are Linghu Chong?” Qiu Chu Ji stared at Linghu Chong, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“I am Linghu Chong, but these two Daoists did not die at my hands?” Linghu Chong said.
“What proof do you have?” Qiu Chu Ji said.
“Both Daoists are at the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, while my current cultivation level is only at the late stage of the Innate Realm. I might have some chance against one Daoist, but killing two Daoists, you're giving me too much credit, Linghu Chong!” Linghu Chong said.
Ma Yu, Qiu Chu Ji, and Wang Chu Yi looked at each other.
Linghu Chong’s cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Innate Realm, it wouldn’t be easy for him to simultaneously attack and kill Yin Zhi Ping and Zhao Zhi Jing.
“It would be different if you had Tian Bo Guang as your helper!” Qiu Chu Ji said.
Tian Bo Guang was also a Grandmaster Realm warrior, if he had Tian Bo Guang’s help, it wouldn’t be impossible for Linghu Chong to attack and kill Yin Zhi Ping and Zhao Zhi Jing!
“I hear that both Daoists were killed with a single sword strike! Even with Tian Bo Guang’s help, I wouldn’t be able to do that! Moreover, on the night the two Daoists were attacked and killed, I was drinking at a tavern at the foot of the mountain, the shopkeeper and the waiter can testify! I wouldn’t be able to travel thousands of miles in one night to kill two Daoists, right?” Linghu Chong said.
“It's really not you?” Ma Yu asked.
“Master Ma, I can swear to heaven, I absolutely did not kill the two Daoists! If I did, may heaven strike me down and leave me without a burial place!” Linghu Chong said.
Feng Qing Yang said from the side, “Master Ma, if Chong said he didn’t do it, then he didn’t do it! If you want to blame the deaths of the two Daoists on our Huashan Sect, our Huashan Sect is not a soft persimmon to be squeezed around.”
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense!
“Senior Feng, Master Ma, please calm down!”
Lu Xiao Feng quickly said, “It’s obvious that the murderer wanted to frame the Huashan Sect and instigate a fight between the Quanzhen Sect and the Huashan Sect! The most important thing now is to find out who else knows the Dugu Sword Technique!”
“Chong, did you pass on the Dugu Sword Technique to anyone?” Feng Qing Yang asked.
“In response to Grandmaster, I have never passed on the Dugu Sword Technique to anyone, not even my Master knows it.” Linghu Chong said.
“Then who else knows the Dugu Sword Technique?”
Feng Qing Yang’s face was grave, his heart heavy!
All along, he thought he was the only inheritor of the Dugu Sword Technique, but he didn’t expect that someone else actually knew it!
“Since it wasn’t Senior Feng and Brother Linghu, we’ll be on our way then! We apologize for the disturbance.” Lu Xiao Feng bowed.
…
“Master Lu, what should we do next?” Ma Yu asked.
Lu Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and said, “Master Ma, based on my judgment, Feng Qing Yang and Linghu Chong are indeed not the murderers! The range of suspects is actually very small, whoever knows the Dugu Sword Technique is the murderer! The murderer wouldn’t attack the two Daoists for no reason, there must be some kind of grudge, it's just that we don't know it yet! As long as we investigate clearly, the truth will naturally come to light!”
“What should we do now?” Qiu Chu Ji said.
“Wait and see!”
Lu Xiao Feng said, “The murderer is a swordsmanship expert, he wouldn’t be unknown in the martial arts world! We just need to wait for him to strike again!”
“Then we’ll rely on Master Lu! As long as Master Lu solves this case, Ma Yu’s previous promise will definitely be kept!” Ma Yu said.
“Master Ma, you flatter me!” Lu Xiao Feng bowed.
“Lu Xiao Feng, you quickly find him, I also want to meet this swordsmanship expert!” Xi Men Chu Xue said with burning eyes.
