Panic filled the air.
Fire, the fierceness of the four symbols, represented violence and heat.
Ning Lefan was like a ball of fire, with a violent temperament. How could he tolerate Qin Qiumo slandering Chu Xingyun like this? The moment he opened his mouth, he roared, completely unafraid of Qin Qiumo's might.
"Impudent! Who do you think you are? How dare you shout here!" Behind Qin Qiumo, a member of the Qin Clan roared in anger, his eyes filled with coldness as he stared at Ning Lefan.
"Both him and I are disciples of the Sword Master. And this is where we live. Compared to this, who do you think you are?" Lu Ling also spoke and took a step forward.
His words were very sharp. His pair of sharp eyes were like swords, causing the hearts of the members of the Qin Clan to tremble. Their hearts inexplicably beat faster.
Gu Xuanqing also took a step forward. He didn't say anything, and his face was still warm and amiable. However, his smile was cold and his aura was continuous, vaguely showing signs of enveloping the void.
"The three of you, how dare you be so impudent in front of me!" Feeling the aura of the three people, Qin Qiumo's anger grew. He pointed his halberd at the three of them and said angrily, "This matter, you will definitely not be able to escape responsibility. I will definitely …"
"Sword Master Qiu Mo!"
At this moment, Qin Qiumo's voice was suddenly interrupted by Lu Xing.
Lu Xing's face was filled with displeasure. He looked at Qin Qiumo with a slightly cold gaze and said coldly, "The people in charge of investigating this matter are our Blood Mage Squad. As for the judgment, it will be decided by the Law Enforcement Hall. Your words and replies are meaningless."
"Therefore, I advise you to save your saliva and stop blabbering. If you affect our investigation, even if you are the Sword Master, you will be held responsible!"
After saying this, Lu Xing strode forward, not even looking at Qin Qiumo.
Qin Qiumo's face turned livid in an instant. He was so angry that his teeth were chattering, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Xing was Fan Wuchen's disciple.
The Blood Mage Squad was the elite squad of the Law Enforcement Hall. They were in charge of all life and death.
Even if Qin Qiumo was the Sword Master, he was unwilling to have any conflict with them. Furthermore, Fan Wujie had given the authority to investigate this matter to Lu Xing. If he forcefully interfered, he would indeed be suspected of overstepping his authority.
While Qin Qiumo was deep in thought, Lu Xing already knew the ins and outs of the matter. He thought for a moment and asked Chu Xingyun, "Besides this, Luo Yun Sword Master, do you have anything else to add?"
"No."
Chu Xingyun shrugged and casually replied, "Just as my disciple said, I don't know the three of them, nor do I have any grudges with them. Logically speaking, it's impossible for me to kill them in public."
"Moreover, even if I wanted to kill them, I wouldn't do it at the foot of the Sword Master Peak. Only those idiots would be blinded by hatred and can't even distinguish the most basic logic. How pitiful!"
"Luo Yun, how dare you scold me!" Qin Qiumo was already hopping with rage. At this moment, the anger on his body had already rushed to his heart, pushing him to the brink of insanity.
"I'm only speaking the truth." Chu Xingyun glanced at Qin Qiumo and the others, then shifted his gaze away and said to Ning Lefan, "Lefan, see the guests out for me."
"Yes!" Ning Lefan's eyes lit up. He gestured towards Qin Qiumo and said mockingly, "Sword Master Qiu Mo, please."
Qin Qiumo's face constantly twitched as he clenched his fists tightly.
He glared fiercely at Chu Xingyun and shouted coldly, "I will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom. At that time, none of you will be able to leave the Wanjian Pavilion safely!"
After he finished speaking, Qin Qiumo swung his hand and left in a huff.
The expressions of the Qin Clan members were similarly furious. They glared at Chu Xingyun, Ning Lefan and the others. Although they didn't dare to speak, the coldness in their eyes had already explained everything.
"Sword Master Luo Yun, we will also take our leave." Lu Xing bowed towards Chu Xingyun and retreated. After that, he also left the place and rushed towards the sword stele to begin his investigation.
Looking at the departing figures, a smile gradually appeared on the faces of Ning Lefan and the others. However, Chu Xingyun still had his head lowered. His brows were tightly knitted as he fell into deep thought.
After a while, he looked towards Xia Qingcheng and said, "Qingcheng, help me collect a list of outer disciples immediately. Especially those who have a grudge against the Qin Clan. I want to look through them one by one."
Last night, Chu Xingyun felt a faint trace of Dark Sword Intent from the wound on the corpse.
This was extremely important and it was very likely related to the murderer.
Dark represented gloominess and concealment.
Even in the outer sect, there weren't many disciples who were proficient in Dark Sword Intent. Chu Xingyun wanted to investigate them one by one and get to the bottom of the matter, so as to prevent Qin Qiumo from causing trouble again and again.
Apart from that, Chu Xingyun didn't know why, but he felt uneasy in the depths of his heart, as if something else would happen.
Time passed slowly. Unknowingly, a day passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, everyone was paying attention to this matter, hoping that the Blood Mage Team could immediately catch the murderer and restore peace to Wanjian Pavilion.
However, the Blood Mage Team didn't get anything.
The night deepened again.
That night, the dark clouds were thick, completely covering the bright moon. Not even a sliver of moonlight could be seen. Only the howling of the wind could be heard, wreaking havoc and blowing in the dark night.
Such a night made people feel very uncomfortable and uneasy.
When the night gradually faded, the morning light once again sprinkled on the earth.
"Ah!"
However, at this moment, several horrified cries came out of Wanjian Pavilion.
Last night, three more people were killed!
The place where they died was not the Sword Master Peak where Chu Xingyun was, but their residence.
When others discovered them, the three of them had already stopped breathing. Their deaths were equally horrifying. Their internal organs had been torn apart and blood dyed the secret room red. Sword scars covered their bodies from head to toe, making for a hideous and terrifying sight.
What was different from the previous three was that the three of them this time were all inner sect disciples. One of them had even just entered the Sky Spirit Realm and had extraordinary strength.
When they saw this person's corpse, the panic that pervaded the crowd became even more severe.
Those in the Sky Spirit Realm had condensed a Yang Core in their bodies and could control the power of Yang as they wished. However, the final result was that he was still dead. He had been mercilessly killed and died without a complete corpse.
This meant that the person who had done this twice was the same person. Moreover, that person's strength was tyrannical and could casually kill a Sky Spirit Realm practitioner!
For a moment, all the disciples of Wanjian Pavilion, whether they were in the inner or outer sect, trembled with fear.
Of course, apart from the fear of this matter, more people's gazes fell on Chu Xingyun.
The reason was simple.
