Somewhere in the deep forest of Lin Yuan.
The gray-robed youth was at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm, and he was fully capable of surviving safely in this area.
At this moment, his opponent was a Level Five spirit beast, Forbidden Golden Armored Insect!
This spirit beast was less than half the size of an adult, and its strength was equivalent to a Spiritual Cultivator at the middle stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm, but its degree of danger made the gray-robed youth dare not underestimate it.
The Forbidden Golden Armored Insect was like a giant seven-star ladybug. Its ferocious face and dangerous appendages showed that it was different. Its shiny golden shell could hardly be broken by ordinary spiritual weapons. Inside, there was a pair of long and narrow wings. Although the wings were thin, it did not affect its agility when flying.
The gray-robed youth dealt with it alone. He was careful, but he was still able to handle it with ease.
"This Forbidden Golden Armored Insect has two wings. If I hurt it, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy. At that time, if it wants to escape, I'm not sure I can keep it." The gray-robed youth thought about countermeasures while dealing with the Forbidden Golden Armored Insect.
"It's a pity to watch a Level Five Reiki fly away. Then, I can only kill it with one blow!" The gray-robed youth gritted his teeth, and the long sword in his hand accumulated power. The spiritual power around his body surged, and he performed a powerful spiritual technique.
The Forbidden Golden Armored Insect relied on its hard golden armor and charged at the gray-robed youth fearlessly.
For a moment, the gray-robed youth's aura burst out fiercely, and his figure moved like lightning to meet the attack.
Finish it in one fell swoop!
Seeing that the two were about to collide, a strange aura suddenly rushed out, startling the gray-robed youth!
"Who is it?" The gray-robed youth roared. That aura was directed at him!
A palm wind came from behind, and the gray-robed youth's expression changed drastically, and his hair stood on end.
With such power, if he was hit, he would either die or be injured! In front of him, the attack of the Forbidden Golden Armored Insect was equally shocking.
There was no time for him to think too much. At the critical moment, he could only stagnate his body. The long sword's attack that was supposed to be directed at the Forbidden Golden Armored Insect was abruptly changed in an instant. A rainbow light followed the palm wind.
"Boom …" With a dull vibration, the sword rainbow was unstoppable, and it instantly dispersed the palm wind. The remaining power did not diminish, and it went toward the direction the gray-robed youth sensed.
"Puff …" A red light flashed in the air, and that touch of red looked particularly demonic.
…
"There seems to be some movement over there!" Night As Fire said to Lin Yuan.
Su Yun had long sensed the unusual movements over there. It seemed like someone was hunting a spirit beast, and both parties were not weak. Under such circumstances, it was naturally not good to interfere, so Su Yun did not pay attention to it.
Upon hearing Night As Fire's words, Su Yun focused his senses again.
"Hmm? Something has happened! " Su Yun felt a strong and panicked fluctuation of spiritual energy. It seemed to be abnormal. "Let's go and take a look!"
After saying that, Su Yun's figure moved, leaping to the top of the treetops, and flashing like a gust of wind in that direction.
Night As Fire and the other three didn't hesitate either. They moved decisively and followed closely behind.
"Why did his aura disappear?" Su Yun was still halfway when he suddenly sensed the disappearance of an aura. "No, there's still an obscure aura!"
In addition to the fifth rank spirit beast, Su Yun also sensed an extremely obscure aura. This aura was hidden very well, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to detect it!
"It's getting more and more vague!" Su Yun felt that the obscure aura seemed to be slowly retreating!
"It seems … there's something wrong." Su Yun sensed something, and his figure suddenly sped up.
Night As Fire saw Su Yun speed up, he also felt that something was wrong, and immediately followed at full speed.
The forest that had just quieted down, became lively again because of the arrival of Su Yun and the others.
As soon as he approached, Su Yun frowned.
What entered his eyes was a Golden Shell Forbidden Insect. It was lying on the ground, making a slight sound.
Su Yun slowly approached, and Night As Fire and the others also came one after another.
Feeling Su Yun's approach, the Golden Shell Forbidden Insect turned around. There was blood that hadn't completely solidified on the two open corners of its ugly mouth.
A corpse was lying straight behind the Golden Shell Forbidden Insect. At this time, Su Yun was completely sure.
The gray-robed young man should have been at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm when he was alive. There was a huge bloody hole in his chest, and he should have been killed by the Golden Shell Forbidden Insect.
Su Yun frowned.
Something was wrong …
Before Su Yun could think more, the Golden Shell Forbidden Insect rushed toward Su Yun with bloodthirst. It had already tasted the sweetness of the meal just now.
Feeling the Golden Shell Forbidden Insect's movement, a sword light flashed, and the fierce momentum disappeared in a flash. The Golden Shell Forbidden Insect's attack had collapsed.
In an instant!
Su Yun slowly put away the fifth rank Reiki, and slowly approached the gray-robed young man's corpse.
"He's dead!" Night As Fire looked at the huge bloody hole in the chest of the corpse, which should have been left by the Golden Shell Forbidden Insect. He didn't expect that someone would be killed by the spirit beasts during the beast tide! He had become the prey of the spirit beasts. How sad it was.
Su Yun looked at the corpse for a while. Logically speaking, with the strength of this young man when he was alive, it shouldn't be much of a problem for him to deal with the Golden Shell Forbidden Insect. How could this be the result?
Su Yun looked around, and slowly walked towards the direction where the few of them had landed.
Xu Qian didn't know what was going on, and consciously made way for him.
"Here …" Su Yun looked at the trunk of a big tree. There, the trunk was cut in half. Further away, the low bushes were cut flat.
Looking at the traces, Su Yun's eyes narrowed. He moved his feet slightly and walked to the side of the bushes. He slowly reached out and grabbed it. It was a strand of black hair!
"Could it be that his death …" Xu Qian also realized in hindsight. He looked at the strand of hair in Su Yun's hand and said suspiciously.
"It seems that it's not that simple." Su Yun said slowly.
"You're saying that there's more to his death than meets the eye?" Ye Ruhuo asked thoughtfully.
After all, among the few people here, only Su Yun felt that extremely obscure aura.
"I'm almost sure." Su Yun looked back at the corpse again.
"But …" Night As Fire didn't finish his words, he felt a group of people approaching.
"It's them again!" The people were very fast. In a few breaths, they were already in front of them. Huang Zhan's eyes were filled with anger.
Sha Tong only glanced at Su Yun, and directly bypassed Su Yun and the others. He led the people of the Sha Family to the corpse.
Seeing the corpse, the faces of the people of the Sha Family changed. There was sadness and anger.
There were a few words of conversation. Su Yun, who didn't pay much attention, didn't hear them clearly.
"It seems that the person who died should be a member of the Sha Family." Xu Qian looked at the people and said softly.
Su Yun then retracted his gaze from the traces.
Sha Tong slowly walked out from the crowd. The people of the Sha Family automatically opened up a path for him.
"It's you!" Sha Tong's eyes were filled with anger.
Before Su Yun and the others could react, the people of the Sha Family quickly flashed and surrounded them.
"Borrowing a knife to kill. What a good method. "Sha Tong's voice was suppressed, as if he had already determined that the person who framed that person was Su Yun.
"You!" Chen Ling instantly held his long spear in his hand, guarding against their sudden attack.
Sha Tong walked forward: "Just because of a little unhappiness that day, you want to take revenge like this. With such temperament, you really don't deserve to be a spirit cultivator."
"You mean, his death was caused by us?" Xu Qian was not afraid.
"Was there anyone else at the scene?" Sha Tong asked.
Xu Qian was about to speak, but he heard Su Yun laugh: "You think you're smart."
Chalons looked at them from the side, but didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"I'd like to see how you can quibble." Sha Tong's spirit energy surged. If Su Yun couldn't give a reasonable explanation, he would decisively take down Su Yun and the others.
"Did you see us attack him?" Su Yun asked.
"There were only a few of you at the scene. Although he died at the hands of the Forbidden Golden Armoured Insect, it was obvious that he was attacked by a despicable person at the critical moment." Sha Tong turned his head and looked at the two corpses with a fierce look in his eyes.
This time, he was the leader of the hunt. Now that one person was dead, if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation to the clan, then it would cause irreparable damage to his status.
So, no matter who the real murderer was, he must take down Su Yun and the others at the scene.
Sha Tong turned his head back. Su Yun saw his expression and knew that this time there would be some trouble.
"So, it's all your guess?" Su Yun said: "Just based on subjective assumptions, you want to take action. Is this the style of the Sha Family?"
Sha Tong clenched his hands: "Based on this, I have eighty percent confidence. So, I'll take you down first. Whether it's true or not, we'll know!"
Seeing that Sha Tong was about to take action, Night As Fire was already prepared.
The Sha Family people were slowly approaching.
"Wait!" Suddenly there was a shout. Everyone looked over and saw Chalons slowly walking towards Su Yun and the others.
The expected fight didn't happen. Chalons glanced at Su Yun, then bypassed them and stood under a big tree.
There, half of the tree trunk had been cut off.
After looking for a while, Chalons looked back at the corpse.
Su Yun slowly stepped forward and handed over a strand of hair.
"This is what we found here just now."
Chalons took it. Su Yun could feel a kind of sadness in his eyes, which was different from Sha Tong's.
"Do you think that with just this, you can wash away the suspicion?" Sha Tong sneered, but didn't take action again.
"Do you want to put the blame on us so much?" Xu Qian said disdainfully: "Don't tell me, you're using this to shield the real murderer?"
"You …" Sha Tong clenched his fists, and the spiritual power around him vibrated slightly. However, he couldn't say anything more.
As soon as the words came out, Xu Qian also knew that it was a bit inappropriate, but what's done is done. There was no way to take it back.
"Since things have come to this, I'm afraid it's not the best idea to tangle with us here. It's better to find a way to track down the real murderer." Xu Qian said again.
Chalons looked at the strand of hair in his hand and thought for a long time, but still didn't find anything.
But one thing was certain, this strand of hair was definitely not Su Yun's!
