Only My Way

Chapter 510 【 Crimson Blood Ghost Sect — Shen Yunqing 】

Two days later.

Inside the mountain where the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect]'s headquarters was hidden.

After a full two days of being out of contact with the Third Elder, Teng Shenghu, the members of the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] finally realized that something was wrong.

Especially Shen Yunqing, the Sect Master.

However.

His first reaction wasn't that something had really happened to Teng Shenghu.

But rather a more direct and more in line with the thinking of a heretical practitioner—was that old guy taking the opportunity to run away?

Shen Yunqing had always been very clear that Teng Shenghu was no pushover.

That was a guy who abandoned righteousness for profit and deceived his superiors and subordinates.

No, no, it wasn't even a matter of abandoning righteousness for profit... after all, there had to be righteousness to abandon.

In Teng Shenghu's heart.

There was no benevolence or righteousness to speak of.

Moreover.

Recently, Shen Yunqing had also faintly sensed that Teng Shenghu had not only been secretly lining his own pockets, but even the disappearance of a promising junior in the sect some time ago was probably directly related to that guy, most likely being used by him as ghost refining material…

Therefore.

Shen Yunqing had long been quite dissatisfied with Teng Shenghu.

Right now.

Seeing that the other party had disappeared.

His first reaction was that Teng Shenghu had probably realized that he was investigating him, so he simply took the opportunity to run away…

This kind of operation.

Shen Yunqing understood that Teng Shenghu was fully capable of doing.

Without any psychological burden.

After all.

It wasn't just a day or two since the other party had been acting like a beast…

If things went wrong.

The other party might even betray the rest of the sect.

Thinking of that possibility.

Although not afraid of the possible threat.

But facing his plan that was already entering the final stage.

Shen Yunqing, unwilling to add more complications at this time, thought to himself:

'Should I relocate?'

However.

Before he could think deeply, someone reported to him in a panic:

"Sect Master!"

"Although we didn't successfully find the Third Elder at the No. 12 Soul Nourishment Ground."

"But according to the information we've gathered, in a certain area five thousand miles to the west, two days ago, there were practitioners with strength reaching the [Intent Manifestation Realm] fighting fiercely."

"It is said that ghost energy sufficient to cover the sky directly appeared at that time, presumably, one of them should be the Third Elder…"

"It's just that, no one knows what the outcome of that battle was until now."

"But judging from the complete lack of news from the Third Elder, he… is very likely to have met with misfortune!"

"What??"

"He's dead??"

Hearing this.

A trace of suspicion immediately appeared on Shen Yunqing's face.

He was very clear that, in terms of combat power alone, Teng Shenghu couldn't be considered strong, but that old thing's ability to escape was still very strong.

Moreover.

The other party rarely took the initiative to fight fiercely with the strong.

Especially in the absence of orders.

At most, he would just secretly investigate the target.

So the possibility of Teng Shenghu directly fighting fiercely with other strong people, and being killed on the spot, was really unlikely.

Furthermore.

The task that Shen Yunqing had arranged for the other party before.

Was just to inspect the ghost-nurturing array from time to time.

He didn't understand why Teng Shenghu would run to another place to fight to the death with an unknown enemy.

Could it be that the other party was the one who killed that ghost general?

Faced with these doubts.

As a professional heretical practitioner.

Compared to suspecting the enemy, Shen Yunqing decisively preferred to suspect his own people.

This was beyond doubt!

Although everyone didn't know the enemy's personality and behavior.

They were very clear about the personality and behavior of their own people.

So Teng Shenghu's behavior was naturally full of doubts in Shen Yunqing's eyes…

Not long after.

Three figures appeared one after another beside Shen Yunqing.

They were the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Fourth Elder of the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect], also all the [Intent Manifestation Realm Practitioners] in the [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect] besides Shen Yunqing.

"Teng Shenghu might be dead?"

"Who did it?"

"Really?"

"…"

Although they were also elders.

But after hearing the relevant news.

There wasn't any trace of affection or concern in the three people's words.

Only disbelief and suspicion.

Obviously, just like Shen Yunqing, compared to Teng Shenghu really being dead.

Everyone was more willing to suspect that there was something hidden in the matter.

That plastic-level brotherhood.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Couldn't support any friendship or empathy at all.

Listening to these messy discussions.

Shen Yunqing just solemnly made a final decision on the matter:

"Alright."

"No matter what the truth of the matter is."

"The disappearance of the Third Elder is ultimately an unchanging fact."

"Now, I need you to investigate the truth of the matter."

"If the Third Elder isn't dead, then bring him back to me."

"If the Third Elder is really dead… then find a way to find the person who killed him for me."

"I want to see, who on this land dares to kill an Elder in our [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect]…"

In this regard.

All three elders immediately nodded in response to his decision:

"Yes!"

Even if they didn't care much about Teng Shenghu's life or death.

But if the other party was really killed on this land.

For the entire [Crimson Blood Ghost Sect], and even for them.

It was indeed a great offense.

Even if they disliked each other.

And couldn't wait to stab each other in the back.

But everyone's interests in this regard were ultimately together.

The sect's face and the elders' dignity must be maintained!!

—

Inside [Hua Yan City].

After two days of repeated screening.

Ling Wuyuan finally successfully classified those valuable spoils left behind by Teng Shenghu.

Among them.

The most valuable things were undoubtedly those knowledge-based items.

Whether it was a secret manual recording evil techniques.

Or a forbidden book recording various heretical knowledge.

They were all quite rare treasures.

Even if he didn't go deep into studying those knowledge.

Ling Wuyuan didn't mind taking the opportunity to expand his knowledge.

After all, knowledge was always an extremely precious thing.

It was okay not to use it.

But you couldn't not know it.

During this period.

Ling Wuyuan was also able to perceive that he was getting closer and closer to the [Spirit Nurturing Realm].

It was a feeling that a breakthrough could happen at any time.

Even if he successfully broke through in the next second.

It wasn't impossible.

To this.

Ling Wuyuan was not in a hurry at all, always maintaining a non-arrogant and impetuous attitude, quietly waiting for things to take their course.

He just followed the established steps to carry out his daily cultivation and remote communication with Pei Yiman every day.

When he heard him say that he had successfully killed a [Intent Manifestation Realm] cultivator head-on.

Even Pei Yiman.

Was sincerely surprised by the matter.

Feeling the other party's surprise.

At that moment.

Ling Wuyuan also had a small sense of pride surge into his heart…

Although he didn't care about other people's opinions of him.

But the joy and admiration from close people was still something that could affect him.
