Zhang Hanlin's car was rather special. Qin Yang did not deliberately avoid cities along the way. On the second day, the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect found the location where Zhang Hanlin's two subordinates died. It was less than thirty kilometers away.
"Hall Master's car left from the north gate. Where does it lead to?"
One of Zhang Hanlin's subordinates asked.
"Brother Li, the north gate leads to the wilderness. It doesn't lead to any city."
"What is Hall Master doing here?"
"Eh … the area leading to here is a little familiar. Let me think … wasn't there a rumor that a secret treasure appeared in the area ahead at Vicious Wolf Peak? Previously, many experts went to that area! "
"Could it be that Hall Master obtained some information and went there to take a look?"
A portion of the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect headed straight for Vicious Wolf Peak. It was a rather special place in the vicinity.
Indeed, when they arrived, they saw traces left behind by Zhang Hanlin's car. It had rained two days ago, so the traces were already very faint. However, Zhang Hanlin's car was rather heavy, so there were still some traces left behind!
"Hall Master is indeed here!"
"Hurry up and search!"
Vicious Wolf Peak had a certain amount of risk. There might be powerful demonic beasts appearing here. Previously, many people had died here, but the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect still immediately entered Vicious Wolf Peak to search for Zhang Hanlin.
Four hours passed.
The experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect gathered at a spot. There were a few bones left here.
One of them was a skull!
"Little Li, you called everyone here. Did you find something?"
Zhang Hanlin's second son, Zhang Mingfeng, asked. He had followed them here. Zhang Hanlin's eldest son was receiving Special Envoy Gu.
"Master Feng, if I'm not wrong, this is probably Hall Master's skull!"
The man called Xiao Li pointed at the skull that he had discovered.
"What?"
Zhang Mingfeng's expression changed drastically. "Li Yuanzhou, if you dare to speak nonsense, I will kill you!"
"Master Feng, please calm down."
Li Yuanzhou hurriedly said, "Master Feng, you know that my Guardian Spirits are good at tracking. They are more sensitive to auras. I know Hall Master's aura very well. This skull is emitting Hall Master's aura."
"Also, Master Feng, look at this skull. It emits a jade-like luster. Even the skulls of ordinary Level 4 cultivators can't reach this level!"
Zhang Mingfeng's face was extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Search! Search for other clues around here!"
Not long after, Zhang Mingfeng and the others found other clues.
This included Zhang Hanlin's torn clothes.
There was also a pelvis!
"Master Feng, this pelvis should belong to the hall master. The pelvis is one of the hardest bones in the human body. Furthermore, the Hall Master is a Peak Level Four expert. Demonic beasts won't be able to chew it easily or digest it easily. "
Li Yuanzhou analyzed.
"Pa!"
Zhang Mingfeng slapped him hard in the face and roared, "Did I ask you to talk so much nonsense?!"
"Master Feng, I spoke too much."
Li Yuanzhou lowered his head and said. Even if Zhang Hanlin was dead, the Zhang Family was not something he could offend. Zhang Mingfeng was a Rank 3 Grand Perfection expert, while his elder brother was a Rank 4 expert. Furthermore, the Zhang Family had connections within the Heavenly Fire Sect.
It didn't matter. Zhang Hanlin couldn't have become the Hall Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect back then!
Zhang Mingfeng took a deep breath and said, "If my father and the others really died here, how did they die? Who killed them? Look carefully and see if there are any clues in this regard. Also, send the news back! "
There was no doubt that Zhang Hanlin and the others were killed!
The possibility of them being killed by demonic beasts was not high!
Firstly, there were no traces of battle nearby!
Secondly, where was the car? Zhang Hanlin and the others' weapons and the interspatial bag on Zhang Hanlin's body?
"Yes, Master Feng!"
Two of them went back to report while the others continued to look for clues. However, the direction they were looking for was different.
It took a few hours to go back. The rest of the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect arrived, and another few hours passed. A total of more than ten hours had passed. More people from the Heavenly Fire Sect arrived, and Envoy Gu was among them.
There were also experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect from other cities.
Killing a Hall Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect was a great provocation to the Heavenly Fire Sect!
Moreover, at this time, it was the time to hand over the profits to the headquarters. Zhang Hanlin had a lot of money on him. Now that Zhang Hanlin was dead, his money was gone. This was a huge loss to the Heavenly Fire Sect!
More experts arrived. Envoy Gu and the rest quickly carried out a thorough investigation of the Vicious Wolf Peak.
All kinds of information were reported to Envoy Gu.
Although Zhang Mingfeng and the others' father had died, this was no longer their family matter. As the most powerful person here, Envoy Gu would definitely be the one leading the investigation.
"Everyone, after summarizing what everyone has said, I'll say a few points!"
Envoy Gu said in a deep voice.
The two to three hundred people from the Heavenly Fire Sect looked at Envoy Gu.
Envoy Gu said, "Firstly, Hall Master Zhang was killed. We can't be sure that Hall Master Zhang and the others died here. We need to investigate this thoroughly!"
"Secondly, the person who killed Hall Master Zhang and the others is very powerful. It's very likely that he or she is a Level 5 expert. The other party might have followed Hall Master Zhang and the others here. Hall Master Zhang and the others might have found something here!"
"Thirdly, investigate if Hall Master Zhang and the others were heading here when they left. Could it be that Hall Master Zhang and the others had other motives and were deliberately driven here by the murderer to mislead us?"
"Fourthly …"
After Envoy Gu finished speaking, the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect took action again. Not long after, some of the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect began to investigate the whereabouts of Qin Yang and the others.
This was because after Qin Yang and the others left Konoha City, Zhang Hanlin and the others left Konoha City not long after.
Moreover, Zhang Hanlin and the others were driving very fast, as if they were chasing after Qin Yang and the others.
These two days were enough for the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect to suspect Qin Yang and the others.
"A few days ago, we saw Elder Zhang's car!"
"Yes, Elder Zhang even lowered the window and greeted us!"
The experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect found the small town where Zhuang Yun and the others had stayed. They found out that Zhang Hanlin and the others had left before Qin Yang and the others' car arrived.
"Are you sure it's Elder Zhang?"
An expert from the Heavenly Fire Sect asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"It's definitely Elder Zhang. There were two other people sitting in the front row. They should be Elder Zhang's subordinates!"
"It's definitely this person."
The people from the Heavenly Fire Sect took out a photo and showed it to some people. They were all certain that it was Elder Zhang.
The few people who were investigating Qin Yang and the others also found something.
They found two car thieves who told them that they had intended to steal Qin Yang and the others' car. However, they were discovered by Qin Yang and Tian Fu, so they could only run away.
In the morning, Zhuang Yun and Ye Xing 'er came out for breakfast.
"From here to Mount Vicious Wolf, they rushed back overnight. Qin Yang and the others had no time to commit the crime!"
"Actually, we suspected that there was something wrong with them. With their strength, it was impossible for them to kill the hall master."
The experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect quickly shifted their attention away from Qin Yang and the others.
…
Konoha City.
"Elder Zhang is dead?"
Qiu Yong's eyes widened in disbelief. The Heavenly Fire Sect tried their best to block the news, but such news could not be hidden.
The news still reached Konoha City.
There was a commotion in Konoha City. The strength of the Heavenly Fire Sect was not weak, and Zhang Hanlin's influence was strong.
When Qiu Yong heard the news, he was like a cat on a hot tin roof.
His intuition told him that the deaths of Zhang Hanlin and the others were likely related to Qin Yang.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Zhang Hanlin was not killed by Qin Yang and company, Zhang Hanlin and company had pursued him because of Qin Yang. If the Heavenly Fire Sect were to investigate, Qiu Yong felt that only death awaited him.
Even if the other experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect did not kill him, Zhang Hanlin's son and disciples would not let him go!
"Damn it, Zhang Hanlin is a peak Level 4 expert. How could he die?"
"Why am I so unlucky?"
Qiu Yong cursed in his heart. He was extremely conflicted.
Currently, the experts from the Heavenly Fire Sect did not find him. They probably did not know why Zhang Hanlin and the others went out.
However, they might find out in the future!
He had two choices. He could stay in Konoha City or take the money and leave Konoha City.
However, Zhang Hanlin had previously said that he would kill him if he left Konoha City. There might even be people from the Heavenly Fire Sect watching him in secret!
"Qiu Yong, come out for a moment!"
At that moment, someone outside called for Qiu Yong.
Qiu Yong went outside and saw two people from the Heavenly Fire Sect. His expression changed instantly.
"Oh?"
Immediately, the two people from the Heavenly Fire Sect were puzzled. Qiu Yong's reaction was a little off.
They were only here for a routine investigation.
After all, Qiu Yong had been to the Heavenly Fire Sect before. Zhang Hanlin and the others left soon after, and something happened.
"Qiu Yong, what do you know? Tell us everything in detail. Otherwise, you will suffer!"
One of the two people from the Heavenly Fire Sect said sternly.
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything. Don't kill me!"
Qiu Yong exclaimed. He was just a scoundrel and was not very strong. The arrival of the Heavenly Fire Sect experts had given him quite a fright.
"Don't tell us. Follow us to the Heavenly Fire Sect!"
The other person from the Heavenly Fire Sect hurriedly said. Zhang Hanlin's death might involve important secrets that they might not have the authority to know.
Now that they knew, they might be silenced!
