Jin Qi did not bat an eyelid, because he still had some confidence in himself. Even if the opponent wanted to make a move against him, if it was only these eight people, wouldn't it be looking down on the seven peak head disciples too little? Perhaps these eight people wanted to lead them into some kind of trap?
Thinking of this, most of Jin Qi's attention was not on these eight people, but carefully paying attention to the surroundings. In the end, he discovered that Lu Ping's gaze that was looking straight ahead was in fact constantly sweeping left and right. Although he did not have the power of the soul, he still carefully guarded to the extent that he was able to.
No words were spoken along the way, whether it was Lu Ping or Jin Qi, neither discovered any kind of ambush or other kind of arrangement. The four people in front also led the way very accurately, indeed heading towards the residence of the three murdered students.
After a moment, the residence of the first student was already near. Many Megrez Peak students were gathered all around, their faces heavy. Seeing Jin Qi coming over, countless people immediately looked over, and there were even people who quickly walked up.
"Senior brother Jin Qi …"
"Teacher …"
The seven peak head disciples, other than the Alioth Peak head disciple Chen Chu, had already opened their doors to receive disciples. They were the students of the seven academicians, the head disciples of the seven peaks. But at the same time, other than Chen Chu, the other six also had the identity of a teacher. This was another very big difference between Beida Academy and ordinary academies. The boundary between teacher and student was not so clear. It could be said that the current mainstay of North Style Academy mostly had two identities, both as students and as teachers, connecting the previous and the next.
At this moment, there were five of his disciples surrounding Jin Qi. After greeting each other, they consciously followed behind Jin Qi, as if they were following Jin Qi's lead. Seeing Lu Ping and Zi Mu these two brats actually not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth walking shoulder to shoulder with their teacher, they actually revealed some displeasure. But Jin Qi himself did not say anything, so it was not good for them to reprimand him.
At this time, the other people in front also changed to lead the way. Jin Qi inadvertently turned his head and swept a glance, the eight people who had previously clustered around him, Lu Ping, and Zi Mu, had now silently retreated to the side. The four Megrez Peak students were waiting at the side, the four Mizar Peak secret envoys. But they had already disappeared without a trace.
Were there any problems with these eight people?
Jin Qi still couldn't be sure. He couldn't come to a conclusion just because the other party's formation was slightly aggressive.
The victim's room was taken to, and there were disciples guarding the door. When he saw Jin Qi, he bowed and greeted him. Jin Qi nodded and stepped into the room. Lu Ping and Zi Mu, who were following behind him, were immediately stopped by the other party.
"Let them in," Jin Qi instructed, and the two disciples guarding the door immediately let them in.
The smell of blood still lingered in the room. Jin Qi believed that he would receive the news as soon as possible. It was just that he arrived a little late.
"Where's the corpse?" Jin Qi was still looking around the house when Lu Ping asked.
The Megrez Disciple at the side frowned. This Senior Brother Jin Qi hasn't even spoken yet, where did this brat come from? He actually dares to speak first? Do we need to answer you?
Although Lu Ping and Zi Mu were allowed to go with Jin Qi's permission, it was clear that no one took them seriously. Whether it was the color of their clothes, or the conclusion drawn from their curiosity, they all knew that these two were definitely newcomers, very, very weak newcomers.
No one answered Lu Ping's question, until Jin Qi turned his head, his gaze revealing a bit of doubt. Someone immediately answered, "The academician ordered us to take the corpse away first."
Academician …
The academician the Megrez Peak disciple mentioned was naturally one of the seven academicians of Megrez Peak, Chen Jiu. He was always tired, but this time he interfered so quickly. It could be seen that the situation this time was really serious.
"There's no corpse, then there's nothing to see right?" Lu Ping said after sizing up the room.
The Megrez Peak disciples that followed in were almost enraged. They answered because they could tell that Jin Qi had the intention to ask. Who would pay attention to this newcomer brat! Why did this guy feel so good about himself?
In fact, Lu Ping was simply speaking the facts, he didn't have any good feelings about himself. Although he completely had the qualifications — he was a Heaven Awakened with six spirits connected.
But when Jin Qi heard Lu Ping's decisive conclusion, a bit of astonishment flashed across his face.
They, the practitioners. After cultivating the six spirits, their six senses were extremely strong. They were naturally able to see, hear, and smell many details that ordinary people couldn't detect, not to mention those strange abilities of every description. Jin Qi relied on the ability of a practitioner to determine that there weren't any traces of a struggle in this room. In other words, the victim was instantly killed by the murderer without the slightest ability to retaliate.
In this way, apart from the corpse, there probably wouldn't be many traces left to investigate. But he didn't expect that Lu Ping, who currently didn't have the power of soul to use, would actually rely on the six senses of an ordinary person. To think that he had noticed this so quickly.
Was it only an inference based on what he saw?
Jin Qi thought. Even using the power of soul didn't discover anything, then the ordinary six senses naturally could only come to this conclusion. Jin Qi reckoned that Lu Ping had also come to this exact same conclusion.
This kind of thinking was still a little underestimating towards Lu Ping.
It was a fact that he, who had lost the power of soul, could no longer have such a strong six senses. However, the things that Lu Ping could detect with just his ordinary six senses were still more than Jin Qi could imagine. Because he was familiar with this state, he had struggled to survive in this state for a long time. Without the power of soul, Lu Ping was not a completely ordinary person.
"Indeed, there's nothing to see." Although he didn't understand Lu Ping's true condition, Jin Qi still expressed his slight support for Lu Ping.
With his words, the students naturally couldn't say anything else.
"Were the other two corpses taken away by the academician as well?" Jin Qi asked.
"Yes," a student who understood the situation replied.
"It seems that the situation at the other two scenes is similar," Jin Qi said.
"Probably … so." This time, the answer he received was not certain. There were some things that they couldn't see, so how could they be sure that Senior Brother Jin Qi couldn't see it!
"Where were the corpses taken?" Jin Qi asked.
"The medicinal kitchen."
Jin Qi was not surprised by this answer. The medicinal kitchen wasn't just used to make medicine. When the corpses were taken away, the culprit's methods would naturally be studied from the corpses. The medicinal kitchen could also be used in this aspect. However, since the culprit dared to leave the corpses there openly, it seemed that he wasn't afraid of being found at all. His confidence, in Jin Qi's opinion, would be his downfall. Because Jin Qi had more confidence in his teacher, Chen Jiu.
"To the medicinal kitchen," he said and stepped out of the room.
Lu Ping followed behind. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw the four Phantom Envoys who had disappeared before. They didn't know when they had reappeared. They were waiting outside, waiting for the three of them.
