Huo Xingzun was indeed panicking, because the peace he had maintained for so long had been shattered.
Ever since he took in these godson, or to be more precise, ever since he obtained the pair of God's Eyes, everything had been smooth sailing for him.
For so many years, he had never suffered a loss. He relied on these foster sons to support his current situation of dominating the Clear Wind Sea Region.
Huo Xingzun panicked in the face of such a sudden situation. His usual calm and unperturbed appearance was gone. He even kept pacing around Na Lanhai's corpse, his mouth constantly muttering, "Who the hell is it?! Who dared to kill the Fourth Prince!? "
Even Baili Pobing frowned when he saw Huo Xingzun's reaction.
He coughed and said, "Don't panic, Godfather. We don't have to be afraid of anyone, as long as it's not a Heaven and Earth Abstruse Realm powerhouse."
Baili Pobing felt a little sad, because he had always had a good relationship with Nalan Hai.
Among Huo Xingzun's godson, he immediately took in Fu Longxiao and Nalan Hai as his godson after taking in Baili Pobing.
When Nalan Hai was young, Baili Pobing even gave him pointers on martial arts for a period of time. The two were like teachers and friends.
Thus, after Na Lanhai was unable to recover from his setback, he was always gloomy towards him. However, Na Lanhai's attitude towards Baili Pobing did not change at all.
Huo Xingzun patted Baili Pobing and said, "I'll leave this place to you then. I know that you have a good relationship with the Fourth Prince. You have to find the murderer as soon as possible and avenge the Fourth Prince."
Baili Pobing nodded and began to examine Nalan Hai's corpse.
He was not Huo Xingzun, who lived a comfortable life. Instead, he had climbed all the way here, so he was very familiar with these things.
Fu Longxiao also came to help.
Although he didn't have a good relationship with Nalan Hai and Baili Pobing, he couldn't care less about scheming at this time. He followed Baili Pobing to examine Nalan Hai's body.
After a long while, Baili Pobing said with a solemn expression, "The person who attacked is very strong. He practically crushed everything in his path. The Fourth Prince even started to burn his blood essence, but he still couldn't stop him. "
Fu Longxiao also said, "Looking at the wound, the Fourth Prince should have died under a weapon like Halberd. Combined with the opponent's strength, the person who attacked should be at the peak of the True Fire Spirit Refinement realm."
Baili Pobing frowned and said, "But I didn't detect any kind of vital energy from the Fourth Prince's body. In the Qingfeng Sea Region, who would use Halberd as a weapon?"
Fu Longxiao shook his head and said, "Among the contemporary martial artists, there are some martial artists from the Central Plains who use Halberd as a weapon.
Especially the generals from the Central Plains who come from the military. A weapon like Halberd is definitely a fierce weapon in battle.
But in our overseas region, there are still many people who use sabers and swords. Even if there are martial artists who use Halberd as a weapon, their strength is definitely not at the True Fire Spirit Refinement realm. "
Baili Pobing suddenly said, "What about the Feng-Splitting Sea?"
Fu Longxiao thought for a moment and said, "There is an expert living in seclusion in the depths of the Feng-Splitting Sea who uses Halberd.
But the opponent cultivates Black Flame Gang Energy. This kind of Gang Energy is hot and overbearing. Once he attacks, it is easy to leave traces.
But there is no trace of Gang Energy left on the Fourth Prince's body.
Most importantly, why did he kill the Fourth Prince? What's the motive? "
Baili Pobing rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. He was also puzzled about the motive. He couldn't figure out why someone would want to kill a guy like Nalan Hai, who was already crippled.
As for whether Nalan Hai had offended people over the years, there were really many.
But he was already living in seclusion on a small island, and the people he really offended were not the big shots with power and influence. They were just some servants who served him. It couldn't be those people who did it, right?
At this moment, Huo Xingzun, who had been watching silently from the side, suddenly said, "Do you guys think it could be Chu Xiu who did it?"
Fu Longxiao and Baili Pobing looked at each other at the same time and shook their heads.
Baili Pobing said, "It shouldn't be possible. I've looked into it before. Chu Xiu has long left the Eastern Sea. And according to Chu Xiu's information, this person is skilled in saber techniques. There is even a record of him forcing the abbot of the Great Light Temple, the Heaven and Earth Elemental Enlightenment realm expert, Xu Ci, to retreat with a single saber strike. "
Although Chu Xiu had used the Black Tortoise True Technique outside, he had only used it a few times.
It was impossible for the overseas region to have such detailed information. Even in the Wind Sweeping Tower, one had to look through the most detailed information in order to be mentioned.
Fu Longxiao also said, "That's right. It doesn't seem like Chu Xiu's doing, because he has no reason to do so.
Chu Xiu came to the Eastern Sea to look for reinforcements. So what if he killed the Fourth Prince? Does he think we'll help him just because one of us died?
If it's to vent his anger … "
Speaking up to this point, Fu Longxiao secretly glanced at Huo Xingzun and said, "If it's to vent his anger, he doesn't have to kill the Fourth Prince. Godfather, many of your direct descendants are in the outside world."
Hearing this, some of the direct descendants of the Huo family felt a chill in their hearts.
Previously, they were bold enough to do whatever they wanted in the outside world because they were confident that the Huo family and Sovereign Island could protect them.
But now that they saw a dead person, they realized that not everyone was afraid of their backing. They even wanted to go out and call their children back.
It was too dangerous outside. Sovereign Island was safer.
The two searched for a while, but they couldn't find anything.
They had no choice but to seal Nalan Hai's body.
Baili Pobing said solemnly, "Godfather, during this period of time, recall the Huo Family's people. We don't know if the Fourth Prince died because he offended someone, or if someone is targeting Sovereign Island. "
He turned to Fu Longxiao and said, "Third Brother, don't think about running to the Wind Splitting Ocean for now. Mobilize your Blue Dragon Fleet to look for clues."
Fu Longxiao humphed, "Do I need you to tell me that?"
After giving the orders, Baili Pobing and Fu Longxiao both left. They were going to gather people and look for clues.
He didn't believe that no one in that area of the sea had heard the slightest bit of movement when he had killed someone so brazenly.
Huo Xingzun watched the two leave. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a single word.
He didn't know why, but he always had a feeling of unease.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who felt it. Baili Pobing felt it too.
He seemed to have vaguely sensed something, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Driving his ship, Baili Pobing returned to Divine Armament Island.
Although Baili Pobing wasn't good at managing his own forces, he had quite a number of subordinates.
Sending them out would be of some use.
At that moment, a huge wave suddenly rose on the surface of the ocean.
The wave was extremely terrifying. Like a tsunami, it completely capsized Baili Pobing's ship in an instant!
Baili Pobing fell into the water, but the Stellar Qi around him had already separated the endless seawater. At that moment, Baili Pobing suddenly realized something was wrong.
His ship was refined using a blacksmithing technique. Eighty percent of the ship was made of metal, and it was also inscribed with countless arrays. It wouldn't be a problem for it to sail through the Windbreaker Sea.
Most of the sea in the Windbreaker Sea was calm. How could there be such a huge wave that even capsized his ship?
Baili Pobing walked on the water and his figure rose to the surface. At that moment, his expression suddenly changed.
The area within a radius of more than ten miles had been completely separated by countless water walls. It was like a prison.
Even an idiot could guess that he had fallen into an ambush.
At that moment, a crack appeared on the water wall. Chu Xiu walked out of it and walked on the water.
Baili Pobing instantly understood everything the moment he saw Chu Xiu.
But he didn't expect this person to be Chu Xiu!
"Chu Xiu! It's you?! Why did you kill the Fourth Prince? Why did you become enemies with the Venerable Island? Just because we didn't agree to work with you? Just because godfather wanted to take you in as his godson? "
Baili Pobing understood, but he was confused because it didn't make sense.
Chu Xiu couldn't possibly be so narrow-minded that he would kill someone over such a small conflict, right?
"You really want to know?"
Baili Pobing nodded with a gloomy expression.
"Go to hell and think about it with your fourth brother!"
As Chu Xiu's voice fell, in the next moment, the scorching True Fire of Inner Energy around him burned, and there was even a black World Annihilation Fire mixed within it.
As the punch landed, a thunderous explosion rang out in the surroundings.
The punch suppressed the heavens and earth, and crushed the mountains and rivers!
Baili Po Bing roared angrily. Dazzling white astral energy wrapped around his body like a sharp blade.
He didn't have a weapon, but his entire body was filled with weapons!
The two fists collided. In that instant, a powerful shockwave rippled outwards.
With the two of them as the center, an endless whirlpool of waves exploded. The water droplets at the center were even torn into tiny mist.
Baili Pobing's expression changed. Just like that day at Huo Xingzun's birthday banquet, he couldn't withstand the power of Chu Xiu's punch!
He retreated. The armor on his arm was torn, and Baili Pobing's face was pale.
However, Chu Xiu was expressionless as he smashed his fist down again. This time, it was an extreme strength!
One punch after another, Baili Pobing's armor, which was comparable to a Divine Weapon, was completely shattered. He was even vomiting blood from Chu Xiu's punches.
With a furious roar, the Qi and blood around Baili Pobing roared. He controlled the power of heaven and earth around him. As he punched, the endless waves turned into a blood-colored dragon that roared at Chu Xiu!
Facing this punch, Chu Xiu still punched with a simple punch.
That punch was the only one in the world!
