Chapter 776

On the way back to Zhaiyue Peak, Jiang Yuan kept guessing who the person was just now.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan knew too little about Tianming Sect, so in the end he could only temporarily stop speculating.

As soon as I reached the foot of Zhaiyue Peak, I saw a middle-aged woman standing respectfully on the roadside, bowing to Jiang Yuan and saying with a smile:

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Lingfeng invites you to come."

You can tell from this woman's dress and tone that she is not from the Tianming Sect, or even just an ordinary person.

However, Jiang Yuan still nodded and followed the elder sister up to Feihua Peak.

The waterfall peak is surrounded by water mist, and the rainbows are so beautiful.

The mountains are full of exotic flowers and plants, as well as rare birds and animals.

When Jiang Yuan followed the elder sister through the cliff path under the waterfall, they came to a loft.

The attic is built against the cliff, with a waterfall in front of it.

Jiang Yuan saw Xue Lingfeng standing in the yard in a daze.

"Senior Sister Lingfeng, why did you come to see me?"

Xue Lingfeng nodded and first said to the elder sister:

"Sister Cai, you go and do your work first."

The woman nodded, smiled and turned away.

Xue Lingfeng explained independently:

"Sister Cai was someone I met when I was out training a few years ago. Her life experience was quite bleak, so I simply brought her back."

Jiang Yuan didn't know why Xue Lingfeng suddenly mentioned these things and didn't respond.

Xue Lingfeng was silent for a while and then said to Jiang Yuan:

"Did you just go see my father?"

"Your father?" Jiang Yuan's face was full of surprise, "The person locked under the scripture collection building is the sect leader?"

Xue Lingfeng nodded expressionlessly, "What did he say to you?"

He didn't say a few words at first, but Jiang Yuan repeated it and then said: "The sect master asked me to go back in three days, saying that he wanted to talk about business."

Xue Lingfeng nodded, "Then you just go."

Jiang Yuan was a little confused. Did Xue Lingfeng call him here just to chat?

Xue Lingfeng got up and went into the attic, took out a green bead and handed it to Jiang Yuan.

"When you go to see him, take this bead with you."

Jiang Yuan looked puzzled, "Sister, what do you mean?"

Xue Lingfeng did not explain, but waved her hand to signal Jiang Yuan to leave.

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to leave with Monk Zhang Er confused.

When I returned to Zhaiyue Peak, I found that Chen Ping was already practicing swordplay in the open space in front of his attic.

Jiang Yuan looked around his residence. Both the stones and the ground were covered with sword marks. Even the attic had many gaps. He suddenly said with a dark face and said silently:

"I finally understand why you only have a small thatched hut on the top of Tianjianfeng Peak. Even if this is the best accommodation for you, it will probably be destroyed in two days!"

"If you want to practice swordsmanship, go back to your own Tianjianfeng!"

Chen Ping chuckled, sheathed his sword, and patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder.

"Ignore the little things."

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at Chen Ping again, "Say, what's the matter?"

Chen Ping suddenly looked serious and said in a deep voice:

"Do you still remember the person who hid in the Killing Hall?"

Jiang Yuan nodded and frowned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"I have received an order from the sect to investigate the origin of that person. It is best to capture him."

The confusion in Jiang Yuan's eyes deepened, "Why do we need to investigate? They didn't cause any trouble."

Chen Ping shook his head solemnly, "You don't understand."

"Not only our Tianming Sect, but other first-class sects are also investigating."

"The Hidden Killer Hall is the opponent of almost all the first-rate forces, a character that everyone wants to beat."

"Once the young people who appeared that day grow up, it will not be a good thing for all first-class forces."

Seeing Jiang Yuan's still incomprehensible look, Chen Ping emphasized his tone, "Do you know how many talented disciples from all the first-rate forces combined die at the hands of the Hidden Killing Hall every year?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan shaking his head, Chen Ping raised five fingers and said, "More than five hundred people."

"What I'm talking about is just a genius disciple."

Jiang Yuan let out a heavy snort.

"I have never understood, what are the benefits of Hidden Death Palace doing such a thing? Isn't it good to develop your own?"

Chen Ping shook his head and looked at Jiang Yuan's eyes very seriously.

"Your thoughts are dangerous."

"Let me tell you, those who join the Hidden Killing Palace are all geniuses among geniuses, and the assessment standards are more difficult than those of other first-rate forces."

"And they have no scruples in what they do. As long as someone entrusts them and can afford the spirit stone, they will dare to assassinate even the leader of a first-rate force!"

Jiang Yuan suddenly became curious, "It can't really be just for the spirit stone, right?"

Chen Ping nodded, "In fact, there has been a speculation about the Hidden Killing Palace circulating in the world."

"That is the existence of the Hidden Killing Hall. It is actually to balance the entire world."

"Why are the number of first-class forces fixed? Even if a huge change occurs and one of them is destroyed, a new first-class force will soon be born to replace it."

"And once a certain first-rate force becomes more powerful, news will spread that a genius disciple or elder was assassinated by the Hidden Killing Hall."

"Just like thirty years ago, the sect leader of a certain quasi-first-class force made rapid progress. If nothing happens, he would be able to compete with the top experts of the first-class force within ten years, and then he was assassinated by the Hidden Killing Palace."

"In this way, you should be able to understand the intentions of the elders, right?"

Jiang Yuan's expression also became serious, "You mean, my joining has given the Tianming Sect the possibility of becoming stronger, and the Hidden Killing Palace may regard the Tianming Sect as a new target?"

"Maybe they might even come to assassinate us?"

Chen Ping nodded, "Because the Hidden Killing Palace is too mysterious. We know too little about where their station is, how many people there are, and who they are."

"So if you can only see someone from the Hidden Killing Hall, you have to do your best to investigate."

"If the headquarters of the Hidden Killing Hall can be found, then it will be time for all the first-rate forces to unite to destroy the Hidden Killing Hall."

"And I came to you just to ask you to investigate this matter with me."

"Let me join you?" Jiang Yuan frowned even more tightly, "Do the elders also mean this?"

Chen Ping shook his head and laughed, "I heard that you have successfully passed the test of the previous sect master. The elders are eager to protect you with a cage, so how can they let you leave the sect."

"Then you still come to me?"

Chen Ping stopped joking, "Because I don't know for sure. I paid attention to him when he was fighting that night. He was hiding very deeply."

Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, "I noticed it too."

"Since you came to me, does it mean that you already have clues?"

Chen Ping nodded again, "Just tell me, are you willing to go?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, "But I don't feel like he is a bad person."

"Does it matter whether he is good or bad?" Chen Ping shook his head, "In short, he is on the opposite side of us."

"If one day he comes to assassinate you, will he care whether you are a good person or a bad person?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan's silence, Chen Ping shook his head, "Do you think I'm tortuous?"

"Then if I told you that Elder Xue Lingfeng was assassinated by the Hidden Killing Hall, how would you feel?"

Jiang Yuanmu

Guang Yilin asked, "When did it happen?"

Chen Ping said calmly: "This happened more than ten years ago, and the Hidden Killing Palace has never given up on assassinating Elder Xue Lingfeng, so she has not left the sect these years, and often stays in seclusion for several years."

Jiang Yuan almost didn't laugh. How many years had he been in seclusion? He said he was in seclusion, but in fact he went to Yuling Sect.

"Okay, let me give you a cool word, do you want to go?"

"go!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "But do I need to report it to the sect?"

"No need," Chen Ping shook his head, "You have to register when you leave the sect. Just say you are going out to do something."

"So simple?"

"It's that simple. It's just an excuse. The elders all know what we are doing."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Okay, when will we set off?"

"I originally planned to leave this morning."

"Then you haven't left yet?"

"Isn't this waiting for you?" Chen Ping rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan, "Since you are back, let's set off now."

Jiang Yuan nodded and followed Chen Ping towards the entrance of the sect.

When I left, just like Chen Ping said, I just went through a simple registration.

But when Jiang Yuan saw the huge golden lion entrenched there like a hill, he still felt frightened.

After walking far away, Jiang Yuan asked Chen Ping:

"Have you ever seen Elder Lion take action?"

Chen Ping shook his head, "I've heard of it."

Chen Ping walked forward and whispered:

"I heard that eighty years ago, when the sect leader was out on business, he was besieged by several masters."

"The sect master fought bloody battles and escaped all the way back to Tianming Sect."

"Those experts wanted to invade our Tianming Sect, but Elder Jin Shi took action."

Jiang Yuan asked: "What's the result?"

"Of course the result was that those experts were crushed into scum."

"So that means Elder Golden Lion is much stronger than the sect leader?"

Chen Ping shook his head, "It's just that once, the sect master had a breakthrough after that battle. It is said that his strength is as strong as the Golden Lion Elder. But since then, the sect master has never shown his face again."

Jiang Yuan thought of the shackles on the sect leader Xue Tianze, and always felt that there was some secret behind it.

"Then such a big thing happened, and the former sect leader Song Qingyi didn't come back?"

"I don't know about this," Chen Ping shook his head, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

"While I'm on my way, I'll tell you about the traces of the Hidden Killer Hall killer first, and we'll also discuss a plan. It would be too shameful for us to join forces and return without success."

Jiang Yuan smiled softly, "Tell me, what information did you get?"

Chen Ping spoke slowly:

"In fact, when he left, an elder followed him, and finally followed him to Bibo City. He lost track of him, but what is certain is that the other party did not leave Bibo City."

"How are you sure?"

"The elder summoned him."

"How did the elder determine that?"

Chen Ping was stunned immediately.

Jiang Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get to Bibo City."

Chen Ping nodded and quickened his pace.

Bibo City is not close to Tianming Sect, and it takes a day and a half by flying boat.

Jiang Yuan and Chen Ping got off the flying boat and entered Bibo City. The first thing they did was to find the elder waiting in the city.

Jiang Yuan remembered that this elder's surname was Tan, and his name was Tan Fei.

Because they lost their clues, Jiang Yuan and Chen Ping could only wander around the city, hoping to meet the killer from the Hidden Killing Hall.
