The entire inn was suddenly in a complete uproar. The experts of the Ximen clan looked as if they had lost their parents, their faces contorted.
Half of the inn was filled with members of the Ximen clan. Under the protection of dozens of experts, the assassin had easily taken their third young master's life and left so calmly!
The dozens of people had gone mad!
They were aggrieved and terrified.
How was he going to explain himself when he returned? There was no need to even think about it. There was no way he would be able to explain himself.
The door to one of the rooms opened abruptly, light seeping in as a young man dressed in white walked out slowly.
Ximen Wandai's corpse lay on the ground below, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief and fear.
The young man in white walked slowly to Ximen Wandai's corpse and lowered his head to look at Ximen Wandai's face. His face was mournful as he slowly reached out his hand to close Ximen Wandai's wide-open eyes. He said softly, "Although I knew that this day would come for you, it was still a little unexpected. Rest in peace, your brother will avenge you! "
Although his face was mournful, it was calm. He looked at Ximen Wandai with a calm and cold gaze.
There was neither the sorrow of a brother's death nor the relief of a competitor's death.
"Check the wound."
"Everyone present, please compare your memories."
"Third young master's guards, each receive a hundred whips of the wolf fang. If you can endure it, you will live; if you can't, you will be buried with the third young master."
The young man in white said coldly.
"Thank you, second young master!" Ximen Wandai's guards relaxed.
A hundred whips of the wolf fang would naturally be enough to beat someone to the brink of death. However, the second young master's words meant that the punishment had already been carried out here.
He wanted to protect them.
If they were to wait until they returned to the clan to be punished, they would undoubtedly die. After being punished here, they would still be punished when they returned to the clan, but they would not die …
"Wound, there's only a scar on the chest. I can't tell what weapon it was. The scar is small, but it ruptured the heart and destroyed the mystical Qi in an instant. It's very powerful, and the murderer's mystical Qi is obviously very pure."
"The Third Young Master is also at the Third Peak, but his muscles are tense and his mystical Qi is flowing through his body, but it doesn't have any defensive effect. Therefore, the opponent's weapon seems to be a divine weapon."
"The murderer rushed in and killed Wang Fang first. Then, he used the sword in his right hand to slit his throat. Then, he chased after Third Young Master. He used the sword in his right hand, but it didn't work. Then, he used a short sword in his left hand, but it didn't work. Then, this murder weapon appeared in his sleeve."
"In other words, the murderer has at least three weapons."
"Two in the light and one in the dark."
"The murderer is tall and burly, and his voice is rough and coarse."
"The murderer moves very fast, and his Xuan Qi is very high."
"To be able to kill the Third Young Master in one strike under the watchful eyes of so many experts, this person is bold and meticulous. Moreover, he must have planned this beforehand."
"They appeared without a sound when they came, and they disappeared without a trace when they left. They must have planned their route beforehand."
"This person must be very familiar with the terrain."
"With the murderer's cultivation base, even though the first two strikes didn't break his defense, it could be a trick of confusion. Even if the first two strikes were to hit, they wouldn't have been fatal. Moreover, the Third Young Master would have used the momentum to land on the ground, and the murderer would have lost the opportunity to strike. Then, the guards would have swarmed in …"
"The reason why he didn't do so was to ensure that the third strike would be fatal!"
"The murderer's cultivation base should be between the Fourth and Seventh Heavens."
"Anyone lower than the Fourth Heavens wouldn't have such guts and schemes."
"…"
Everyone gathered together, racking their brains to recall and think.
At this moment, everyone was giving it their all.
This was their only chance to redeem themselves!
The young man in white, Ximen Wandai's second brother, Ximen Wanli, narrowed his eyes and listened quietly. The expression in his eyes changed constantly as he thought carefully.
"Has the Third Young Master offended anyone since he came here?"
"This …"
Ximen Wandai's guards looked at each other. Had he offended anyone? That was a strange question. How many people had Ximen Wandai not offended in a day? How many people had he not bullied? How many beauties had he not snatched home?
How normal was that?
"Those who have been beaten, scolded, and bullied, make a separate list. Investigate them." Ximen Wanli calmly ordered, "Women who have been snatched, their family backgrounds, and so on, make a list. Investigate them."
"Investigate all the martial artists in Tiantang City according to the murderer's criteria."
"I think it shouldn't be hard to find the murderer since his appearance is so obvious."
Ximen Wanli narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I want to know the results by tomorrow morning. Who is the murderer. I want to see the murderer's head by tomorrow night! "
"Yes, Second Young Master!"
…
Yun Yang stumbled as he landed on the ground. The short battle just now had caused his profound qi to be completely exhausted.
Although Ximen Wandai was a popinjay, he was still well-educated and had a strong mystical Qi. Yun Yang's current ability was not enough to defeat him. If he had not struck with the Blade of Heaven's Way, he might have returned empty-handed tonight.
However, Yun Yang had already expected this.
It was precisely because of the lethal weapon, the Blade of Heaven's Way, that he would take such a risk. Otherwise, why would he be so reckless?
Yun Yang had not wanted to start with Ximen Wandai, but this fellow had been too presumptuous ever since he had come to Tiantang City. In just a dozen days, the number of women who had died in his hands had already exceeded a dozen!
Since he was trying to frame him, Yun Yang might as well use it as an example.
It was already past midnight when he returned to the Residence of Yun. Yun Yang entered his room directly, one hand already on his belt. Just as he was about to undo it and take off his clothes, his eyes suddenly widened.
There was someone in the room, staring at him in the dark with a pair of cold eyes.
Yun Yang's hair stood on end, but he still smiled and said, "Young Lady Ji, why have you come to my room at such a late hour? This is beyond my expectations. "
The person in the room was Ji Ling.
Today, however, Ji Ling was different from before. Her face was cold and her eyes were cold as she stared at Yun Yang.
She had completely retracted her aura. She had even used some unknown method to conceal the body fragrance that had originally been on her body.
"Young Master Yun is indeed able to summon clouds and rain with a flip of your hand." Ji Ling said slowly, "I've been following you all this while. I've seen you change your form, disguise yourself, and come back as if nothing had happened after you killed someone. You didn't even look surprised to see me in your room. This calmness made Ji Ling understand that young master is indeed not an ordinary person."
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat.
He said in surprise, "I don't understand what Young Lady is saying."
His heart calmed down immediately.
Trick me?
Yun Yang was confident that no one in this world would be able to follow his movements. Especially the ability to change the shape of the clouds, it was the only one in the entire world!
Moreover, his cautiousness had always been his greatest confidence.
It was impossible for Ji Ling to follow him, and it was impossible for her to know his movements beforehand. It was even more impossible for her to enter his room after he had killed someone.
Although he had stayed outside for a while and Ji Ling could have done it, it was impossible for her to know his every move.
"You don't understand?"
Ji Ling said coldly, "Were you not the one who killed Ximen Wandai?"
Yun Yang was taken aback. He stood up abruptly, "Ximen Wandai? Dead? What happened? "
His face was filled with astonishment.
Ji Ling's gaze locked onto Yun Yang's as she said slowly, "Dead. You killed him!"
Yun Yang rolled his eyes and chuckled bitterly, "Young Lady, it's fine if you try to scare me here, but don't go spouting nonsense outside. I can't afford to offend the Ximen Family. Such a colossus … aren't you going to faint? Hmm, there's actually someone in Tiantang City who dares to kill Ximen Wandai? "
Ji Ling's gaze finally turned doubtful as she said, "Was it not you?"
This girl is indeed tricking me.
Yun Yang held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly, "Young Lady, how free must I be, and what kind of cultivation base must I possess to be able to kill Ximen Wandai? Besides, he still bears the heavy responsibility of protecting the Yun Family's safety. You're completely unreasonable! "
"Hmph …" Ji Ling said, "That's hard to say."
Yun Yang rolled his eyes, "I've been living a peaceful life as a young master. I've just used my master's name to suppress Ximen Wandai's troubles, why would I provoke him? There's no enmity between us, why would I provoke him? Is there something wrong with my brain?"
"There's something wrong with your brain!" Ji Ling said angrily.
Yun Yang was speechless.
Ji Ling said coldly, "Do you really think you didn't do it just because you said so? Then why weren't you in your room just now? "
Yun Yang's heart was completely at ease as he put on a look of extreme headache, "Young Lady Ji, this is my home. Do you understand? In my home, I can do whatever I want. If I want to be in my room, I'll be in my room. If I don't want to be in my room, I'll go out to look at the moon, go to the toilet, take off my clothes, bask in the moonlight and take a walk with my bird. Is there anything wrong with that? "
"Pervert!" Ji Ling's face reddened as she snorted, not saying another word.
Yun Yang finally took back the initiative and immediately said aggressively, "I don't understand. Lady Ji, a lady as pure as ice and pure as jade, came to a man's room in the middle of the night. Not only did you enter without permission, you even accuse me of killing someone!"
"What kind of logic is that?" Yun Yang glared at her, looking as if he was in the right.
In his heart, he was thinking, "How did Ji Ling get in? It's fine if I'm not home, but Lao Mei and Fang Mofei didn't even notice.
Although he had not seen through Ji Ling's real cultivation base from the beginning, her cultivation base should not be higher than Lao Mei and Fang Mofei's!
How did she get in?
However, he was definitely not this girl's opponent now. There was no doubt about that.
Ji Ling blushed as she argued, "I found you suspicious, that's why I came to investigate you!"
"Investigate me? Hmph, luckily it's not a rapist! If it had been a rapist, I would have been in grave danger tonight. "Yun Yang patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Pervert …" Ji Ling fumed, "Look at you, you're such a pervert …"
In her heart, however, she thought, "This fellow is so handsome, it's not impossible for him to attract a few female rapists …" Thinking of this, she could not help but scold herself in her heart. What was she thinking? "
Yun Yang crossed his arms and looked down at Ji Ling as if he was interrogating a criminal. His gaze was full of curiosity as he asked, "Speak, how did you get in?"
