"Who was the disciple who guarded the mountain yesterday?"
Invincible Nie asked again.
A few disciples flew toward Invincible Nie in fear and trepidation. They were just ordinary disciples who guarded the mountain. It was extremely difficult for them to even meet the Sect Master. It was their first time standing so close to the Sect Master. Plus, the Sect Master was in a state of anger. It would be a lie if they said they weren't nervous.
"Sect Master, we were the ones who guarded the mountain yesterday."
The leading disciple said with his head lowered.
"Did you see anyone suspicious entering the mountain gate?"
Actually, Invincible Nie's question was just a test. Think about it, an existence that could even kill a Ferghana Stallion, it would be a piece of cake for him to sneak into the Invincible Sect without being noticed by a few Combat Soul disciples.
"Sect Master, there was no suspicious person."
After the disciple said that, he suddenly thought of something and continued, "But, last night, Senior Ruan Hao suddenly came back from his home. After he entered the mountain gate, he seemed to have gone to the Invincible Peak. It should be true."
"What? Ruan Hao? "
Invincible Nie's eyes lit up. He had some impression of this disciple. He was just a Third Grade Combat King core disciple with a good potential. Now it seemed that Ruan Hao was the most suspicious one. He absolutely didn't believe that Ruan Hao could kill a Ferghana Stallion. However, with Ruan Hao's identity, he wasn't qualified to enter the Invincible Peak.
"Where is Ruan Hao?"
Invincible Nie shouted.
"Sect Master, Ruan Hao just returned to Changling City yesterday. He hasn't come back yet."
A disciple who was good friends with Ruan Hao said. After Ruan Hao went home, he didn't come back.
"It seems like there is something wrong with this Ruan Hao. I will go to Changling City and have a look."
After saying that, Invincible Nie disappeared in a flash. Everyone in the Invincibility School was silent. They looked at each other with shock in their eyes. They couldn't think of any relationship between the death of the Ferghana Stallion and Ruan Hao. Could it be that Ruan Hao killed the Ferghana Stallion? What a joke. Not to mention that he didn't have the ability to do so, as a disciple of the Invincibility School, he wouldn't have such a thought.
At this moment, Ruan Hao, his father, and his two elder brothers were sitting around a table in Changling City's City Lord Residence. To City Lord Ruan Zhangshan, his third son was his greatest pride. To be able to become a core disciple of the Invincible Sect was a great honor.
Ruan Hao's return from the sect was a joyous occasion for the Governor's Mansion. At this moment, Ruan Hao and his two brothers were talking and laughing. Only Ruan Hao was sitting there with his head down. He didn't have the mood to chat. All his thoughts were on Jiang Chen last night, especially the two questions Jiang Chen asked him. Although he didn't know what Jiang Chen wanted to do, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Furthermore, he had learned everything that had happened in the Chaotic Ocean. Jiang Chen had returned alive, and the first thing he did was to massacre the entire stronghold of the Asura Palace. He had killed everyone, including the Second Tycoon who was an Eighth Grade Combat King. This news was too shocking. At the same time, Ruan Hao felt lucky that he was still alive. Jiang Chen could kill an Eighth Grade Combat King, so if Jiang Chen wanted to kill him, it would be a piece of cake.
"Third brother, why are you frowning? It's not easy for you to come home, but you look troubled."
A young man said. He was Ruan Hao's big brother.
"It's nothing, big brother."
Ruan Hao smiled and didn't tell them what happened last night.
* Swoosh! *
Suddenly, the space in the hall trembled and rippled. A figure suddenly appeared in the hall. As this figure appeared, the temperature in the entire hall plummeted. Ruan Hao and his son looked at the newcomer at the same time. When they saw the person's appearance clearly, their expressions instantly changed.
"Greetings, Master."
Ruan Zhangshan and his sons quickly left their seats and bowed deeply to Invincibility Nie. Their faces were filled with fear and trepidation. Other than Ruan Hao, the three of them had met Invincibility Nie before. Therefore, they weren't unfamiliar with this giant of the Liang Province, at least they weren't unfamiliar with his appearance.
Ruan Hao's forehead was full of sweat. If it was before, it would be a great honor for the Invincible Sect's Patriarch to personally come to the Castellan Mansion. But today was different. Invincible Nie should be in Luoxia Mountain at this time, but he gave up on such a big matter and returned from Luoxia Mountain. Something big must have happened. Now that he came to the Castellan Mansion, Ruan Hao had a very bad feeling.
Invincibility Nie ignored Ruan Zhangshan and his sons. His eyes fell on Ruan Hao, "Ruan Hao, let me ask you, the death of the Ferghana Stallion, is it related to you?"
"What? The Ferghana Stallion is dead? "
Ruan Hao exclaimed. He could guess that something big had happened, but he didn't expect it to be the death of the Ferghana Stallion. No wonder Invincibility Nie didn't hesitate to leave behind the incident at Luoxia Mountain. As a disciple of the Invincibility School, he knew all too well what the Ferghana Stallion meant to Invincibility Nie.
"I absolutely don't believe that you have the ability to kill the Ferghana Stallion. But let me ask you, you returned to the Sect last night and went to Invincibility Peak. Is this correct?"
Invincibility Nie asked. He found Ruan Hao just to find out who the murderer was. He absolutely didn't believe that Ruan Hao had the ability to kill the Ferghana Stallion.
"That's impossible, Master. I was in the Castellan's mansion yesterday. I didn't return to the Sect at all."
Ruan Hao's face changed. His face was covered in sweat, but he was confused. He was in the Castellan's mansion and didn't go anywhere. Moreover, he was knocked out by Jiang Chen. He couldn't return to the Sect even if he wanted to. But Invincibility Nie said that he went back last night and went to Invincibility Peak. How could this be possible? Invincibility Peak was the most important place of the Invincibility School. He had been in the Invincibility School for so long, but he only knew the location of the Invincibility School. He had never entered it and didn't have the guts to do so.
"Hmph! If you dare lie to me, I will crush you and your son into ashes with a flick of my finger. "
Invincibility Nie was furious. A cold aura burst out from his body and an invisible whirlwind was set off in the hall. The sturdy tables and chairs were turned into dust. The father and son of the Ruan family were so scared that they knelt on the ground, trembling. The person in front of them was the master of the Invincibility School, a Combat Emperor. If he really wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as lifting a finger.
"I dare not. I didn't lie."
Ruan Hao was terrified.
"Master, please calm down. There must be a mistake. My son was in the mansion yesterday. Plus, as a disciple of the Invincibility School, he wouldn't dare to have any bad intentions. Moreover, the Ferghana Stallion is a Ninth Grade Demon King. My son is not an idiot."
Ruan Zhangshan quickly said.
Invincible Nie frowned. With his eyesight, he could tell that Ruan Hao wasn't lying. It was impossible for a young Third Grade Combat King to lie in front of him. It seemed that Ruan Hao was in the mansion yesterday, but the disciple who was guarding the gate saw Ruan Hao go back. What was going on? The disciple dared not lie to himself. There must be something fishy going on.
Ruan Hao's expression changed. He thought of Jiang Chen and said, "Master, I know who is related to this matter."
"Say it."
Invincible Nie's eyes lit up.
"Jiang Chen."
Ruan Hao said.
"Jiang Chen? Which Jiang Chen? "
Invincible Nie was stunned.
"It's the Jiang Chen who triggered the Heavenly Tribulation a few months ago, the one who destroyed the Freezing Hell Jail of the Asura Palace. He didn't die, and he's back. Last night, he came looking for me, asking about the Ferghana Stallion. After that, he knocked himself out, and when I woke up, it was already morning."
Ruan Hao said. He didn't dare to hide anything and told Invincible Nie everything that happened last night.
"This kid didn't die. But even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be a match for the Ferghana Stallion."
Invincible Nie frowned.
"Master, before Jiang Chen came to me last night, he went to the Chaotic Ocean and killed more than thirty disciples of the Shura Temple on Heavenhawk Island. Among them was the Second Tycoon who was an Eighth Grade Combat King."
Ruan Hao said.
"What? This kid disappeared for a few months, how could he grow to such an extent? He could even kill an Eighth Grade Combat King. It seems that there is something special about someone who can trigger the tribulation. But last night, the disciple who was guarding the mountain saw you returning to the sect. How do you explain that? "
Invincible Nie asked.
"Master, I don't know what happened to this disciple. I guess that Jiang Chen is proficient in the Bone Changing Technique. He changed his appearance and entered the sect."
Ruan Hao's guess was right. He must try his best to prove his innocence. He knew that Invincible Nie suspected that he had an affair with Jiang Chen. If he was misunderstood, not only would he be finished, but his family would also be finished.
"I don't think you dare to lie to me. Considering that you are a disciple of the Invincibility School, I will not pursue this matter. You and your father will stay in the Mayor's Mansion for the time being. You are not allowed to go anywhere. I will see if you are innocent after I catch Jiang Chen."
Invincible Nie said.
"Thank you, master."
The father and son of the Ruan family were scared out of their wits. They kowtowed repeatedly.
Invincible Nie disappeared again. With his Combat Emperor cultivation, he searched for traces of Jiang Chen all over the world. After a day, there was still no trace of Jiang Chen. During this day, the Shura Temple kept searching for traces of Jiang Chen. Their hatred for Jiang Chen was no less than Invincible Nie's. Even the Peerless Sword School sent people to search for him. Jiang Chen had killed many disciples of the Peerless Sword School, especially the monk. This debt must be settled.
One day later, Invincible Nie had no choice but to issue the Ultimate Kill Order to hunt down Jiang Chen. Anyone who could provide clues about Jiang Chen's whereabouts would be rewarded handsomely by the Invincible Sect. If anyone could provide clues that could help Invincible Nie capture Jiang Chen, he would personally take the person as his disciple and imbue him with wisdom.
