A month later, a few Moon Illumination Sect's disciples found a corpse not far away from the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate.
There was a Moon Illumination Sect's disciple identity token hanging on the corpse's waist. Moreover, it was an inner court disciple's identity token.
The entire Moon Illumination Sect was in an uproar.
Killing a Moon Illumination Sect's disciple near the Moon Illumination Sect, an inner court disciple on top of that, was undoubtedly a slap to the Moon Illumination Sect's face. Who was so bold?!
When the Moon Illumination Sect was in an uproar because of the inner court disciple's death …
A shocking piece of news soon arrived.
"The inner court disciple who was killed witnessed Elder Zhao Feng's death with his own eyes. That's why he was killed!"
Nobody knew where this news came from, let alone who spread it. However, this news swept through the entire Moon Illumination Sect in just a few days.
The Moon Illumination Sect was in an uproar again.
Elder Zhao Feng was dead?
The first to be shocked were the nominal disciples in Zhao Feng's mansion. All of them were dumbfounded when they learned about Zhao Feng's death.
"No wonder the Sect Leader came to ask us if Elder Zhao Feng told us where he went … Perhaps, the Sect Leader already knew something had happened to Elder Zhao Feng at that time."
The group of nominal disciples in Zhao Feng's mansion looked at each other. They could guess a lot of things at once.
At the same time, many inner court elders who usually hung out with Zhao Feng also visited Zhao Feng's mansion to confirm whether this was true or not.
When they learned that Zhao Feng had left for a long time and had not returned, they realized the news was not groundless.
After the confirmation of these inner court elders, it did not take long for the entire Moon Illumination Sect to confirm that something had happened to Zhao Feng.
In the Moon Illumination Sect's forbidden area.
Smack!
A teacup was smashed on the ground and shattered into pieces.
The person who smashed the teacup was an old man. Currently, the old man's face was as grave as it could get.
Soon after, the old man left his mansion and went to a mansion nearby.
"Sect Leader, didn't you say nobody in the sect knows where Zhao Feng went? Why did someone spread the news that an inner court disciple had personally witnessed Zhao Feng's death and was even silenced? "
The person the old man was looking for was none other than Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect.
Jiang Wei did not look surprised when he saw that the old man had come to question him. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said, "Martial Uncle, the news is completely groundless … I've been investigating for a few days, but I still can't find out where the news came from or who spread it."
"There must be someone behind this."
Jiang Wei said with certainty.
"I don't care if someone is behind this, I have to get to the bottom of this matter … If Sect Master can't do anything about it, I'll investigate it myself! These old bones of mine haven't moved for a long time. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to move a little more. "
The old man said in a deep voice.
"Martial Uncle Qian, don't worry. I will definitely find out the cause of Zhao Feng's death as soon as possible."
Jiang Wei said confidently, "Martial Uncle Qian, just wait for the good news."
He was really worried that the old man would do it himself. He knew the old man's temper. For that illegitimate son of Zhao Feng, he could do almost anything.
"Sect Leader, my patience is limited."
After giving Jiang Wei a deep look, the old man turned and left.
After the old man left, the respectful expression on Jiang Wei's face was no longer there. It was replaced with a grave expression.
Although the old man was his senior, he was still the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect. The old man's threatening attitude made him feel extremely displeased. He felt like his dignity as the Sect Leader was being challenged.
However, when he thought about the old man's strength that was not inferior to his, the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
Moreover, the old man was still the guardian of their Moon Illumination Sect no matter what.
He was duty-bound to help the old man.
"I hope you've hidden yourself well … Otherwise, once I find you, I'll make sure you die a graveless death!"
The moment Jiang Wei thought about the person who spread the news of Zhao Feng's death, his expression turned grave.
"Up until now, apart from myself and Martial Uncle Qian, the only person who knows about Zhao Feng's death is Liu Huan … Apart from that, I think only the person who killed Zhao Feng knows about his death."
As the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect, Jiang Wei was, naturally, very meticulous.
Due to this reason, the first person he suspected was Liu Huan.
One must admit that Jiang Wei was really smart. The first person he suspected was the mastermind who spread the news.
However, as the mastermind, how could Liu Huan give himself away so easily?
Due to this reason, even though Jiang Wei tried to test Liu Huan again and again, his efforts were in vain.
"It's time for me to release another round of shocking news."
When Liu Huan saw Jiang Wei leaving his mansion again, a cold smirk crept up on the corner of his mouth. "Duan Lingtian, Bai Li Hong … Get ready to receive my gift!
I don't believe you, Duan Lingtian, will be able to sit still after hearing this news! "
Liu Huan muttered to himself as his eyes gleamed fiercely.
When the commotion caused by Zhao Feng's death in the entire Moon Illumination Sect had died down, another piece of news spread out and shocked the entire Moon Illumination Sect.
"The reason Elder Zhao Feng left that day was to avenge his personal disciple, Feng Fan. Who knew there's always someone better than him? Not only did Elder Zhao Feng fail to avenge him, but he even lost his life! "
This was the news that spread in the Moon Illumination Sect again.
Similarly, no one knew where the news came from, and no one knew who spread the news.
However, this news was as shocking as the previous one. It caused an uproar in the entire Moon Illumination Sect.
"As it turns out, Feng Fan is Elder Zhao Feng's direct disciple!"
"No wonder he has a Saint Weapon that's inscribed with a Two Star Saint Inscription when he's just an outer court disciple. No wonder he didn't have the intention of becoming a disciple of the outer court elders even though he was a powerhouse who was ranked on the Earth Ranking."
At this moment, many outer court disciples' doubts were answered.
As it turned out, there was a reason behind all these doubts in the past.
"Avenge Feng Fan … I remember the person who killed Feng Fan seems to be Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, right?"
Soon after, someone said in shock.
"That's right! The person who killed Feng Fan was none other than Senior Brother Duan Lingtian. However, it was Feng Fan who took the initiative to issue a Death Duel invitation and invited Senior Brother Duan Lingtian to a Death Duel … Even if he's dead, it's only because he's not strong enough. He can't blame Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, right? "
"If Elder Zhao Feng really went to seek revenge from Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, then he really doesn't have the bearing an inner court elder should have."
"That's right! Once the Death Duel invitation is issued, it's up to fate … This is the rule passed down in our Moon Illumination Sect. Even if he's an inner court elder, he still has to abide by it. "
"I heard Senior Brother Duan Lingtian left the sect for a period of time … Don't tell me Elder Zhao Feng was killed after he left?"
"I wonder what the person who spread the news is trying to do. Don't tell me he's trying to say the person who killed Elder Zhao Feng is Senior Brother Duan Lingtian?"
"Ridiculous! Even if Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator now, it's almost impossible for him to kill Elder Zhao Feng … Elder Zhao Feng is a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse! "
"Elder Zhao Feng is ranked in the top three among the inner court elders. Not only is he a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse, but he's also a powerhouse at the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage … It's almost impossible to kill him without the strength of an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse."
"Don't forget that Senior Brother Duan Lingtian has Elder Bai Li Hong behind him … Elder Bai Li Hong's strength is comparable to an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse."
"Don't tell me you suspect Elder Bai Li Hong killed Elder Zhao Feng?"
…
Unlike the previous news, this news was getting more and more intense because it was related to Duan Lingtian who had been in the limelight in the Moon Illumination Sect recently.
In the end, many people even suspected that Zhao Feng had been killed by Bai Li Hong.
"It's a pity that Bai Li Hong happened to meet the Sect Leader when he left my mansion … Otherwise, even the Sect Leader would suspect him."
Although Liu Huan was satisfied with the effect of the news he spread, he also felt a little regretful.
"However, even if the Sect Leader knows it's impossible for Duan Lingtian to kill Zhao Feng, this matter won't end so quickly. Perhaps, Bai Li Hong found a powerhouse who protected Duan Lingtian on his way back to his hometown to kill Zhao Feng?"
Liu Huan smiled sinisterly. "All in all, Duan Lingtian won't be able to get away from this matter for the time being. I can only hope that he'll be so annoyed by this matter that he'll go out for a walk."
The moment Liu Huan thought of this, his eyes gleamed fiercely.
This was his true motive!
Meanwhile, the Moon Illumination Sect's forbidden area was not calm at all.
"Junior Uncle Qian, I'm willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath and guarantee with my life that when Elder Zhao Feng's Soul Pearl shattered, I saw Elder Bai Li with my own eyes," Jiang Wei said to the old man in front of him.
If Elder Bai Li was the one who killed Elder Zhao Feng, there's no way Elder Bai Li would be able to rush back so quickly. Moreover, as far as I know, Elder Bai Li had been staying in Elder Liu Huan's mansion for a long time before that. "
"In other words, Elder Bai Li happened to be in Elder Liu Huan's mansion when Elder Zhao Feng was killed. It's impossible for him to kill Elder Zhao Feng."
At this moment, Jiang Wei really wanted to hack the person who spread the news again and again into a thousand pieces. Before the first wave had subsided, another wave had arisen. He really wanted to see the world plunged into chaos.
"Perhaps, he didn't do it himself. Instead, he found a powerhouse to protect Duan Lingtian?"
The old man narrowed his eyes as a cold gleam flashed in them. He said coldly, "No matter what, I'll confront him about this matter!"
"Junior Uncle Qian, you … You're putting me in a difficult position."
