"W-what?" Hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Ye Fan turned pale with fright. "The three Keepers of the Bell … were killed in one night?"
"That's right," Yi Shuihan nodded as he explained to Ye Fan, "I received a secret report yesterday. Zhejiang's Heavenly Sword Manor's Young Manor Lord Lin Huaizhi, Tiantai Mountain's Hell Valley's Valley Lord Nangong Ao, as well as the Plain Maiden Sword's successor, Murong Qiuyue, who lived in seclusion on Plain Maiden Peak, were killed at the same time. Their other identities were the Bell Keepers."
"How do you know that the three of them are the Bell Keepers?" Ye Fan frowned and asked Yi Shuihan.
"It's very simple. Because I'm also one of the nine bell keepers," Yi Shuihan replied. "And I've seen the yellow bell, green bell, and blue bell in their hands with my own eyes. There's no mistake."
"You are one of the Bell Keepers?" Ye Fan asked Yi Shuihan warily, "How can I believe you?"
Yi Shuihan didn't answer directly, but took out a three-inch wooden box and threw it to Ye Fan.
Pa!
Ye Fan caught the box and opened it.
When he saw the item in the box, Ye Fan's expression instantly turned serious.
Inside the wooden box, there was an exquisite little bell that was shining with brilliant purple light!
Except for the color, this bell was exactly the same as the one in his pocket!
[Yi Shuihan is indeed one of the Nine Bell Keepers.]
When Ye Fan thought of this, he closed the wooden box again and threw it back to Yi Shuihan.
"Do you believe me now?" Yi Shuihan returned the purple bell to his pocket and asked Ye Fan.
"How did they die?" Ye Fan asked Yi Shuihan with a frown.
"Heavenly Sword Villa's Lin Huaizhi was slashed in the throat by his sword. Hell Valley's Lord Nangong Ao's soul was crushed by his evil art and he breathed his last. The Plain Maiden Sword's successor, Murong Qiuyue, died even more miserably. Her divine weapon, the Flying Flower Sword, was shattered inch by inch by her opponent. Every inch of the broken sword pierced through Murong Qiuyue's vital acupoints and she died!" Yi Shuihan frowned and said, "Lin Huaizhi's swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and his Sword Qi surged violently, but his opponent used his own sword to slit his throat. Nangong Ao's Yin Yang Secret Technique was superb, and he was good at everything, but his opponent crushed his soul. Murong Qiuyue's Flying Flower Sword Qi was like a field of flying flowers, and every move was aimed at the opponent's vital points. In the end, his opponent gave him a taste of his own medicine! It's obvious that the other party wanted to humiliate the three of them by killing them in the areas they were most proficient in. "
Ye Fan's eyes narrowed.
Not only was the killer's cultivation high, but he was also ruthless and conceited!
"Did you find out who the killer is?" Ye Fan asked Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan shook his head.
"Does that mean the three bells in their possession were also stolen?" Ye Fan asked again.
Yi Shuihan nodded.
Ye Fan's face showed a trace of worry.
Whoever had the corresponding nine bells could enter the Nine Divine Cauldrons' barrier unimpeded and could even obtain the inscriptions on the Nine Divine Cauldrons!
"After obtaining the three bells, this person can directly obtain the inscriptions on the three divine cauldrons. Even the barrier of the divine cauldrons will be unobstructed," Yi Shuihan said to Ye Fan with a frown. "This matter is of great importance, so I have specially come to inform you. You should be careful."
"You're afraid that person will attack me?" Ye Fan looked up at Yi Shuihan and asked solemnly.
"Correct." Yi Shuihan answered directly.
"If he really comes to find me, it may be a good thing." Ye Fan said calmly.
"This person's cultivation base is so high that it's rarely seen in the world. You must not underestimate him." Yi Shuihan told Ye Fan. "Although the three of them's cultivation bases are far from yours, they must be no ordinary people since they were chosen by Jiu Ling. According to my observations at the scene, the three of them did not even have the chance to make a move before they were killed in one move. The murderer's speed is unimaginable. "
"I'm afraid you didn't come to find me just to tell me this, right?" Ye Fan asked Yi Shuihan.
"What do you mean?" Yi Shuihan asked Ye Fan.
"If I'm not wrong, you must have suspected that I was the murderer who killed the three of them." Ye Fan said to Yi Shuihan, who was ten feet away, "But you were not sure that the murderer was me, so you followed me here and secretly observed me, right?"
"You're very smart." Yi Shuihan said with a smile, "Before I came, I did suspect that it was you. There were three reasons. First, you were looking for the Nine Divine Cauldrons. In order to save your wife's True Soul, you had to gather the mysterious patterns on the Nine Divine Cauldrons and comprehend the ancient secret technique on them. This way, you would have a motive to kill the three of them. Secondly, you were able to kill the three masters who were thousands of miles away from each other in one move within two hours. The murderer's cultivation was so high that it was rare in the world, and his movement was so fast that it was unparalleled in the world. You have two unique skills and the power of the Heavenly Demon. You have become the king of the Devil Realm, and you have passed the Divine Tribulation in the Devil Slaying Conference, so you are fully capable of doing this. Thirdly, in your previous life, Evil Moon was both good and evil, and he was unruly. In this life, you not only inherited Evil Moon's evil spirit, but also the Heavenly Demon's murderous intent. In addition, the way the three people died was extremely humiliating, which is completely in line with your style of doing things. With these three points, I have every reason to suspect you. "
"Since you suspect me of being the murderer, why don't you ask me directly? Could it be that you're afraid that I'm lying? "Ye Fan asked Yi Shuihan.
"Although I have reason to suspect that the murderer is you, I also have reason to believe that the murderer is not you." Yi Shuihan replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Ye Fan asked.
"You do have a motive to kill the three of them, but if you think about it carefully, this reason doesn't seem to be valid at all." Yi Shuihan explained, "With your current cultivation, you don't even need the nine bells to completely break the Divine Cauldron Enchantment. Moreover, you only need the patterns on the cauldron, not the inscriptions on the cauldron.
"And the second?" Ye Fan asked.
"You do have the ability to kill three people within two hours, but then again, you're not the only one who can kill three people within two hours, I can as well." Yi Shuihan continued, "Just based on this point, I am also suspicious."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
"Thirdly, although you have inherited the Evil Qi from your previous life and have been soaked in the endless killing intent of the Sky Demon, it is not difficult for me to discover from my observation that you are not a bloodthirsty person." Yi Shuihan said, "The evil spirit leader of the Falling Rain Village was taken in by you, and he turned over a new leaf. In this earthen city, you opened up the well, regained the sweet spring, and brought happiness to the people. These two things are enough to prove your character, so the expert who killed the three people was not you, but someone else."
"Actually, as long as you understand this point, you can completely prove my innocence." Ye Fan smiled and said to Yi Shuihan.
"Oh? What is it? "Yi Shuihan asked.
"I did kill people, but I only killed people who deserved to die. I would never kill a good person. Just based on this point, this matter was not done by me." Ye Fan said slowly.
Yi Shuihan smiled and nodded, but did not speak.
"Speaking of this murderer, I suddenly thought of a person." Ye Fan said with a frown.
"Oh? Who is it? "Yi Shuihan heard Ye Fan's words and his eyes lit up.
"After I obtained the pattern of the divine cauldron in the heavenly lake, I met an old man whose Primordial Spirit had left his body on the shore." Ye Fan said to Yi Shuihan.
"An old man whose Primordial Spirit had left his body?" Yi Shuihan asked.
"That's right. At that time, this person was wearing a golden dragon robe and a coiled dragon jade belt. He claimed to be a direct descendant of the Great Song Imperial Family." Ye Fan said to Yi Shuihan, "In order to regain the Great Song Empire, this person searched everywhere for the nine cauldrons. At that time, he already knew that there was a divine cauldron under the heavenly lake, and he said that I was looking for the mysterious pattern on the cauldron. "
"A descendant of the Great Song Imperial Family?" Yi Shuihan narrowed his eyes.
"This person's cultivation is not shallow. Could this be done by him?" Ye Fan asked with a frown.
"What else did he say to you?" Yi Shuihan asked Ye Fan.
"Back then, he wanted to cooperate with me. After I obtained the divine cauldron's pattern, I would tell him the location of the divine cauldron. If he found the divine cauldron, he would tell me the location of the divine cauldron and let me obtain the pattern." Ye Fan replied, "In short, it's a mutual cooperation. I get the pattern, he wants the divine cauldron, and we both get what we need."
"You agreed?" Yi Shuihan asked.
"He clearly wants to use me to break the Divine Cauldron Barrier. How could I be fooled?" Ye Fan said.
"This person's cultivation is extremely high, and he knows the location of the divine cauldron under the heavenly lake. It seems that the suspicion is not small." Yi Shuihan muttered to himself, "It seems that I have to send someone to investigate this person's background."
"The Tsing Yi Society has many experts, and all of them have superpowers. We will definitely be able to find this person." Ye Fan said.
Yi Shuihan smiled and did not say anything.
"Mister Yi, you didn't make such a big commotion this time just to lure me up, right?" Ye Fan asked Yi Shuihan with a smile.
"Luring Mister Ye up is only one of the reasons." Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
"What? There's a second reason? "Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"Of course." Yi Shuihan said with a smile, "Mister Ye has opened up five sweet springs here. Then, I will give this hundred-mile radius area a good rain to dissipate the heat here."
"Mister Yi's ability is really enviable." Ye Fan said with a smile, "I spent a lot of effort and only opened up a few wells. But Mister Yi, with just a thought, the area within a hundred-mile radius will be nourished by rain. I am really inferior."
"Mister Ye is too kind." Yi Shuihan said, "Mister Yi has the Yin and Yang ultimate arts, and you have the power of frost and fire. I am the one who is inferior."
Ye Fan was stunned, and then he smiled with relief.
"No matter what, you and I are the keepers of the bell. Regarding the murder of these three people, we must be careful. We must not let our guard down." Yi Shuihan said to Ye Fan, "As soon as there is a lead, I will go and find Mister Ye. There is no time to lose. I will rush back to the headquarters now and send someone to investigate the background of this descendant of the Song Dynasty. "
"Thank you, Mister Yi." Ye Fan said to Yi Shuihan with a fist and palm salute. "I will wait for your good news."
