He Yi's sudden action seemed tough and abrupt, and his target was the Su family, a well-known aristocratic family in Kunwu City. Therefore, it was hard for people not to think of what happened to his younger brother, He Gang, some time ago.
Revenge in public? Or was he deliberately framing others?
All kinds of guesses and rumors quickly spread, but after Su Qingjun went down the mountain and met her father, she learned about it through her trusted subordinates in the sect, so she had a general idea of what was going on.
First of all, He Yi did take people to detain Sumo and the other two brothers of the Su family, but he only detained them temporarily. He didn't convict them, nor did he interrogate them by torture. In the words of the other side, he just asked them some questions.
There was, of course, a world of difference between questioning and convicting them. Although the Su family was still indignant, they calmed down a little. As for why He Yi didn't find anyone else but the Su family, the other side also gave a very powerful reason that made the Su family speechless.
Before He Changsheng's accident, the three brothers of the Su family had ganged up on and humiliated He Changsheng in the Fragrance Garden. To put it bluntly, they beat him up and threatened him. Then, a few days later, He Changsheng died.
If this was not a big suspicion, then no one was more suspicious. When Su Tianhe and the others learned about this, they were also speechless for a long time. But after all, he was a blood relative of the Su family, so they couldn't really give up. Therefore, the Su family still tried their best to mobilize all kinds of connections in the Kunlun Party to plead for him.
But this method, which had always been successful in the past, ran into a snag this time. The reason was that He Yi didn't fall for it, and the other virtuous elders in the sect declined one after another, unwilling to get involved in this trouble.
For this reason, Su Qingjun even went to find her master, Masato Kihara, and the answer she got was: First, make it clear that if there was nothing wrong, nothing would happen, and they would let him go. Second, this matter was very troublesome. It was said that even Immortals paid attention to it. Ordinary people, including Immortal Yuanying, didn't want to get into trouble.
In a somewhat anxious and angry mood, the Su family secretly made up their mind to find trouble with He Yi. But soon, their anger turned into surprise. The three brothers of the Su family had been questioned separately. Most of the time, the three of them could answer most of the questions. However, when He Yi asked the crucial question, which was the night He Changsheng died, where the three of them had gone, Su Qian and Su Wen both gave their own testimonies. However, after Su Mo answered, it was unexpectedly proven that he was lying!
Sumo said that he slept alone in his residence that night, but very soon, someone proved that he went out, and then several people saw him. As for asking where he went after that, Sumo was dumbfounded and couldn't answer for a long time.
Of course, there was something wrong with this situation!
Needless to say, Su Qian and Su Wen were released, but only Sumo was detained. But this time, it wasn't so polite. She was directly detained in a secluded quiet room, which was equivalent to being locked up.
After that, there wasn't much news, but as it spread, it gradually became dark. Because it was said that He Yi was eager to make a contribution, and planned to, or had already started to try to use torture on Sumo.
…
"Retribution in the present, retribution in the present!"
Lu Chen arrived at the Black Hill Pavilion opened by Old Ma in Kunwu City. Listening to Old Ma's gloating tone, Lu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Don't be too happy. We still don't know whether this news is reliable or not. It's all spread by others."
"Who cares." Old Ma laughed and said, "In any case, I've long disliked that guy Sumo. It's best if he suffers a bit more. Unfortunately, my identity is limited, otherwise I really want to go and see with my own eyes. "
Lu Chen waved his hand. He was too lazy to argue with Old Ma about these things. He sat there and pondered for a moment before saying, "This time, He Yi acted without any warning. Almost no one knew about it beforehand. It feels a bit strange. It seems like he suddenly got hold of some information, so he began to vigorously investigate."
Old Ma frowned and the smile on his face faded a bit. He looked at Lu Chen with a hint of worry and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there any danger?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Not yet. Let's wait and see first." After a pause, his eyes suddenly flashed and he said, "Could it be that he got the information from the martyr's grave …?"
Old Ma walked to the side and returned after a moment. He handed him a letter and said, "Take a look yourself."
Lu Chen glanced at the envelope and saw that there was no signature, no specific name, and no word on the envelope. He took out two pieces of paper. After reading it, he suddenly nodded and then sighed softly, "The damn baldy said that he will rush back three to five days before the next full moon night."
Old Ma smiled and said, "You see, I told you long ago that the old man still likes you the most. Even if you are a little uncertain, he is still willing to believe you."
Lu Chen didn't comment, but he was still silent for a while. Then he stood up and walked two steps in the room. He said to Old Ma, "You pay attention to He Gang these days. It's better to send more people to keep an eye on him. Don't let him suddenly run away."
Old Ma narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Chen said indifferently, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I've thought about one thing before. Maybe it's a plan to kill two birds with one stone. If He Yi pursues this matter strictly and refuses to let Sumo off, and at the same time, his only blood brother suddenly meets with an accident in Kunwu City, what will the result be? "
Old Ma pondered in silence. After a while, he suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Lu Chen. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Lu Chen calmly said, "Killing two birds with one stone. The general idea is that He Yi will definitely suspect that the aristocratic families of Kunwu City, specifically the Su family, did it. In order to vent his anger, he killed his brother, so the hatred between him and the Su family will be deep. Secondly, when the Su family hears this news, they will definitely think that He Yi will be furious. Then, who will he vent his anger on?"
Old Ma nodded and said, "Good plan. Not bad, not bad …"
Lu Chen looked at Old Ma and said, "Although Sumo is stupid and annoying, his identity is different from others. He is the legitimate son of Clan Head Su Tianhe and Su Qingjun's blood brother. The Su family will absolutely not tolerate anything happening to Sumo."
"But …" Old Ma seemed to want to say something, but he was stopped by Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't have any intention of speaking loudly. He just said to him very calmly, "In the next few days, arrange for someone to go there and do it cleanly."
Old Ma was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "Okay."
… …
"Right, there's one more thing. When you came last time, you told me about the strange three-eyed insect." Old Ma suddenly changed the topic and began to talk about other things.
"Oh," Lu Chen said and said, "How is it? Did you find any clues?"
Old Ma's expression was a little solemn. He looked at Lu Chen with a strange look in his eyes and said, "I've looked into this thing, but the result seems to be that this thing has been extinct for thousands of years. It has long disappeared from this world."
Lu Chen was stunned and said in surprise, "What did you say? What is this thing?"
Old Ma said, "According to the appearance and talent you mentioned, I couldn't find any clues at first. But after looking through some ancient scrolls with a long history, I finally found a monster similar to it in the oldest one."
"'Blood-devouring Insect'. That's the name." Old Ma said.
"Blood-devouring Insect?" Lu Chen frowned and thought for a moment. He said, "I don't think I have heard of it."
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Even for me, this is the first time I have heard of such a monster. When I went to the Library of Ancient Scrolls and saw the Blood-devouring Insect, I was really worried about you. "
Lu Chen said, "Why do you say so?"
Old Ma didn't answer and asked, "Do you still remember the legend of the two founders of the Kunlun Party occupying the Spirited Mountain of Kunlun and establishing the sect?"
"I remember." The senior brothers and sisters in the Kunlun Party had told this story countless times, but there were always people who forgot it.
Old Ma nodded and said, "It is related to that. Legend had it that when the two ancestors, Kun Yuanzi and Tie Luo, established their sects, they used their great magic power to drive all the animals down the mountain. As a result, all kinds of demon beasts ran amok and created a foul atmosphere. But it doesn't matter. It is said that there was a sign in the sky that the divine dragon came to the world and passed down the orthodoxy for thousands of years. But at the same time, evil spirits appeared in the mountain and countless monsters attacked the living creatures. There is a monster called Blood-devouring Insect. "
Lu Chen frowned and asked, "Since this thing is so terrible, why didn't the Kunlun Party know about it?"
"That's because this thing was completely wiped out three or four thousand years ago." Old Ma smiled bitterly and then said in a low voice, "That's why I said that you really seemed to have met a ghost this time. Something that hasn't been seen for thousands of years came to trouble you as soon as it came out."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "According to what you said, these Blood-devouring Insects should have been extinct for thousands of years?"
"Yes."
"Back then, it appeared with the evil spirits that were born in the Kunlun Mountains and harmed the world?"
"At least that's what the book said." Old Ma shrugged and said, "I don't know what happened thousands of years ago."
Lu Chen slowly stood up and whispered, "It seems that there are a lot of strange things in that forbidden area."
"What did you say?" Old Ma asked him.
Lu Chen shook his head and then said to him, "Now there are more things on the Kunlun mountain. I may not be able to come down at any time these days. He Gang, you can keep an eye on him. If you see any great opportunity, you can send him off yourself. "
"I'd like to see if He Yi's affection for his brother will be so desperate that he will completely fight with the Su family. At that time, if he recklessly acts recklessly and things become more and more chaotic, maybe the traitor will also reveal a little … "
He stood up and smiled at Old Ma. Then he put his hand in his sleeve and touched the scorched stone — a Blood-devouring Insect that had been completely burned to ashes!
