The three of them appeared in a bustling city at the same time.
Jing Xiaojie turned her head and looked around curiously.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror had already observed the entire city.
This was a bustling city that was not inferior to South Sun City. They were at the center of the city, in an alley in a residential area. The surroundings were quiet, the green bricks under their feet were spotless, and the walls of the alley were white and flawless.
Across the street was the main road in the center of the city. It was bustling with activity and bustling with noise and clamor, yet this place was quiet and tranquil.
Jing Xiaojie asked, "Faction Leader, where are we?"
"Heaven Blade City," Xu Qiang replied.
He slowly walked forward along the path paved with green bricks.
The two followed closely behind, passing by a few luxurious mansions, and finally arrived at a residence. Two young men in yellow shirts stood beside a stone beast, staring at them with bright eyes.
They stopped in front of the gate. The two young men in yellow shirts tensed up, ready to attack at any time.
Jing Xiaojie was shocked. "Faction Leader, this is …?"
"Heaven Blade Sect!" Xu Qiang said.
Jing Xiaojie said, "Are you sure? Heaven Blade Sect is here? Is it a branch, or a temporary place? "
"Heaven Blade Sect is here," Xu Qiang said.
He said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Song, please meet me!"
"Hehehe …" A bone-chilling giggle was heard, ringing in their ears.
Chu Li's heart sank.
The Omniscient Mirror could not observe this residence, and the woman's voice was faintly discernible, but it carried a terrifying killing intent as if it directly invaded his mind. This meant that the woman's spiritual energy was extremely strong, and martial arts focused on spiritual energy.
An opponent like this was the hardest to defend against.
Moreover, his cultivation level was not this low, so it was even harder to defend against a woman.
"Sect Leader Song!" Xu Qiang gave a fist salute.
A woman in yellow palace attire suddenly appeared in front of everyone. She was petite, graceful, and gentle, but there was a hint of majesty in her beauty. No one dared to disrespect her, so they could only look at her from afar.
Chu Li's heart sank. This beautiful woman was scarier than Xu Qiang. She was standing in front of him, but the Omniscient Mirror could not observe her. It was as if she was just an illusion, not a real person.
More importantly, he did not see the knife on her body.
"What brings Sect Master Xu here?" The beautiful woman chuckled and shook her head. "Since I promised you that I wouldn't kill Fan Yi, I won't kill him. Sect Master Xu, you can rest assured."
Xu Qiang cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to express my gratitude!"
"It's just a small matter, it's not worth mentioning. Sect Master Xu is too serious and old-fashioned." Song Manyin giggled and said, "This Fan Yi is quite close to our Heaven-Saber Sect. It's a pity that he ended up joining your South-Heaven Gate, causing us to lose a great talent."
Fan Yi was a famous rising star of the younger generation. He was very popular among the younger generation. He was indeed a martial arts genius and the future pillar of the sect. If the sect did not have such a pillar, it would damage its reputation and prestige.
Xu Qiang said, "This must be a coincidence. I didn't expect to pick up such a great bargain for no reason. However, what kind of secret is there about what happened back then? How could they be indifferent to the life and death of the sect's disciples?"
His expression was cold and solemn, and his voice was low.
Song Manyin shook her head.
Fan Yi was a top-notch talent, but his parents had ordinary aptitudes and were unknown in the sect. As a fellow disciple, Song Manyin did not have much of an impression of them and did not pay much attention to them. Now that she was the sect leader, it would be difficult to investigate.
Xu Qiang sighed and shook his head. "We trust Sect Leader Song. Since Sect Leader Song said that he didn't kill them, then it's not Sect Leader Song. However, that knife can't be faked."
"That's right …" Song Manyin sighed. "It seems like it's done by my enemy. I might have dragged them into this, really … It's a pity that Fan Yi isn't a disciple of our sect."
Her flying daggers would only fall into the hands of her enemies. The person who killed the Heaven-Saber Sect's disciples with this knife must have been a deliberate act of revenge. He purposely left the flying dagger to provoke her.
"As long as Sect Leader Song helps to find the culprit, it'll be a great compensation to him!" Xu Qiang said.
"I'll investigate this matter!" Song Manyin said in a deep voice.
Xu Qiang fist saluted. "I won't disturb Sect Leader Song then!"
Chu Li coughed softly. "Sect Leader."
Xu Qiang looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Song Manyin chuckled. Her laughter disappeared again. She looked at Chu Li with a smile. "Sect Leader Xu, this young man is …?"
Xu Qiang said in a deep voice, "He's a High Official of our Southern Heaven Gate."
"Oh, a High Official." Song Manyin chuckled. "He's a High Official at such a young age. He must have some unique abilities. Why don't you say it in person?"
"I'm Li Qi. Nice to meet you, Sect Leader Song." Chu Li fist saluted and said slowly, "I've already deduced the person who used this knife to destroy the Fan Residence. Why don't you take a look and see if you recognize him?"
Xu Qiang's expression darkened. However, he knew that Chu Li's choice was right. He could no longer hide his identity. It was better to be honest. He asked in a deep voice, "Have you found the culprit?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Xu Qiang looked at Song Manyin.
Song Manyin turned sideways and extended her hand. "Come, please come in!"
She entered through the door. The three people behind her followed. They passed through a path surrounded by flowers and arrived at a cozy and pleasant basilica.
The interior of the basilica was decorated cozily and elegantly. It was obvious that it was done by a woman.
They sat on a stool. A young girl was already grinding ink and laying out plain paper in front of a table in front of the window.
"The young man's name is Li Qi. You've deduced the culprit. Are you a disciple of the Star Gathering Sect?" Song Manyin's bright eyes looked at Chu Li as if she was looking at a treasure. She asked with a smile.
Her body emitted a faint fragrance that mixed with the fragrance in the basilica. The fragrance was unique and calming.
Chu Li shook his head. "My deduction skills are passed down in my family. I'm not talented enough to be compared to the Star Gathering Sect."
"Hmm, you're not from the Star Gathering Sect …" Song Manyin nodded. "There are many deduction skills in the world. It's a good thing to be able to use your family's lost skill. You're quite lucky, Leader Xu."
The deduction skills that were chosen by the Southern Heaven Gate must be extraordinary. Such a unique ability could only be found by luck.
The Heaven Saber Sect had also recruited such a rare talent. Unfortunately, their divination skills were not good enough, and nine out of ten predictions were wrong. Even if they were accurate once in a while, it would depend on their luck. However, they could only provide for them in this way. Being accurate once was already a good deal.
The young girl who was grinding ink took a step back and quietly left the basilica.
Chu Li stood up and walked to the table. After a few strokes, a middle-aged man appeared on the paper.
Song Manyin frowned slightly.
Chu Li put down his brush and turned to Song Manyin. "This is the person who destroyed the Fan Residence. Do you know him, Sect Leader Song?"
Xu Qiang stared at Song Manyin. "Sect Leader Song, this should be your enemy, right?"
Song Manyin remained silent and stared at the painting.
Jing Xiaojie had been obediently keeping quiet in case she said something wrong. Seeing that Song Manyin was staring at the painting without saying anything for a long time, she panicked. "Don't tell me he's not an enemy. He's a relative, right?"
Song Manyin turned to look at her.
Jing Xiaojie was shocked. "It can't be. Am I right? He's not an enemy?"
"He's my senior." Song Manyin sighed.
