C308 An inexplicable horror!
C308 An inexplicable horror!
Originally, Scarlet Wolf Mountain and a few disciples of the Absolute God Sect came here one after the other to search for the Spirit Slaying Bow and Soul-Breaking Arrow after he received the news of the Soul-Breaking Arrow's fragment. Unexpectedly, the Wukun Jun overheard some of the conversation between Jian Lingchen and the Heavenly Sword Sect Disciple and learned that there was actually a secret realm hidden in the Scarlet Wolf Mountain.
At that time, Wukun Jun was unable to hear the specific information regarding the secret realm, and thus, she was discovered by Jian Lingchen.
After hearing the news, Wukun Jun turned her attention to the "Secret Realm". This guy was greedy beyond compare as she tried to think of a way to get a share. He thought of many methods, but they were all because he wasn't confident and had to give up.
Until he met Fang Shaobai, and saw his formless and invisible method of killing, he had the thought of borrowing Fang Shaobai's blade to kill him. The purpose of intentionally luring Fang Shaobai to Jian Lingchen's group was to use Fang Shaobai to touch Heavenly Sword Sect's group.
But who knew that after thinking so much, he would actually be caught not only not using Fang Shaobai, but also not making use of Fang Shaobai's power. And how would he dare admit to Jian Lingchen that he had eavesdropped on some secret realm?
Left was dead, right was dead. Wukun Jun was trapped in a dilemma and could only confess to Fang Shaobai in the hope that she could keep her promise and save his life.
Unfortunately, Wukun Jun bet the wrong treasure again.
Fang Shaobai never planned on sparing Wukun Jun, she had only suspected that the Wukun Jun had something hidden that she could keep his little life for now. Now that the Wukun Jun had spat out that last bit of secret, he no longer had anything to squeeze out of him. If she kept the Wukun Jun's little life, it would be a type of disaster, and Fang Shaobai wouldn't leave such a disaster for herself.
"Die!"
Fang Shaobai activated her Inherent Skill without hesitation, the "Nine Nether Cold Fire" formlessly penetrated the ground, immediately enveloping the entire Wukun Jun. When the Wukun Jun sensed the danger, the strange cold fire was already like a spirit of hell that drilled into his Soul Space, wrapped around his soul, and silently melted away his soul.
The pain of that soul being burned deeply stimulated the Wukun Jun. Only now did he understand, that this was Fang Shaobai's method of killing people without any form, which was actually to directly destroy one's soul.
The Wukun Jun roared in anger, moving around as berserk as a wild beast. It was just that after a moment, she did not even manage to shout out Fang Shaobai's name, and just laid on the ground stiffly.
Just at this moment, the burning half a stick of incense was gone, the last bit of incense floated down, two figures at the entrance of the cave neatly rushed in.
Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei looked at Wukun Jun who had turned into a corpse in a daze, and were shocked speechless.
"What's going on?"
Wukun Jun's angry roars had also alarmed Jian Lingchen, and when he entered the cave in a flash, there was only confusion as well. He looked at the cave which had burnt up half an incense, and thought that Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei had killed Wukun Jun.
Only then did Zhang and Ye come back to their senses as they called out in unison, "Senior brother Ling Chen, we're not the ones who killed Wukun Jun!"
"Not you?" Jian Lingchen became suspicious, "If it's not you guys, then is Wukun Jun committing suicide?"
Jian Lingchen was furious, but then she thought, if it was really Zhang and Ye Wen who killed Wukun Jun, there was no need to deny it.
But, what was going on?
The body of the Wukun Jun was still warm. It was obvious that she had just died, but there were no wounds on her body at all. At the very least, Jian Lingchen was unable to find a single scar on her body.
This was too strange.
Jian Lingchen unknowingly fell into deep thought.
Zhang and Ye did not dare to disturb Jian Lingchen, and only saw that after Jian Lingchen had examined Wukun Jun's corpse and fell into silence, they started feeling uneasy.
After a few minutes.
Jian Lingchen lifted her head.
Ye Zifei could not wait and asked: "Senior brother Ling Chen, did you find anything?"
Jian Lingchen's face darkened, she did not answer and instead asked: "I'm telling you two that I have high hopes for the Wukun Jun, what do you two think of it? Explain to me clearly, what exactly happened after I left?"
Jian Lingchen's eyes were sharp like a torch, and a bit of a sharp sword light, causing Ye Zifei to not dare to look straight into her eyes.
But because of Jian Lingchen's power, Ye Zifei did not dare to not answer.
Ye Zifei said, "Senior Brother Ling Chen, after you left, Zhang Jun and I, in order to give the Wukun Jun a little pressure, specially lit an incense stick of time. "I can guarantee with my life that Zhang Jun and I will always be at the entrance to the cave!"
"Just like that?" Jian Lingchen obviously did not believe him and continued to ask, "Did nothing special happen?"
Ye Zifei replied, "No, not at all."
"Eh?"
At this time, Zhang Jun said, "Senior brother Ling Chen, Ye Zifei and I were indeed standing guard at the entrance of the cave, but between the two of us, we heard the Wukun Jun cursing, so we didn't hear clearly what she was swearing, but he seemed to be very angry and impulsive, so after we went in, we even provoked him with a few words to let him know if this is considered special?"
Jian Lingchen deeply frowned upon hearing this.
He could feel that Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei did not lie to him. However, just based on what the two of them had said, he was unable to determine the truth of the matter.
Jian Lingchen suspected that the Wukun Jun's angry curses were directed at someone, but he found it difficult to believe that there was someone who could hide the truth and guard the cave entrance, Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei, and sneak into it. There was only one entrance and exit, it was impossible for even Martial King and Martial Emperor to hide inside the cave without being seen by the two.
With this doubt, Jian Lingchen looked through everything in the cave and suddenly ordered: "Zhang Jun, Ye Zifei, the two of you inspect this cave thoroughly, see if there are any secret passages in this cave."
Zhang and Ye were startled, and immediately understood what Jian Lingchen meant. It was very obvious that Jian Lingchen suspected that someone had snuck into the cave to kill the Wukun Jun.
But, that's not right.
They had already checked everything in this cave a long time ago. It was a natural cave. The walls of the cave were made of solid rock, and there were no signs of artificial carving at all. There were no secret passages at all. It was precisely because there were no secret passages that they imprisoned Wukun Jun here.
But, they did not dare disobey Jian Lingchen's orders.
Zhang and Ye immediately followed Jian Lingchen's orders to inspect the cave. One of them was in charge of the left side, the other was in charge of the right side. Under Jian Lingchen's cold gaze, they examined the cave very carefully.
Jian Lingchen's face was so gloomy that there was almost water dripping from it, he did not say anything, how could the killer enter the cave to kill Wukun Jun, and then leave after killing the person, without leaving any trace?
This was simply the doing of a ghost!
Zhang and Ye were completely dumbfounded, and could not figure out what was going on.
Ye Zifei could not help but ask: "Senior brother Ling Chen, could it be that Wukun Jun felt that it was difficult to escape death, and did not want to die by our hands, so she chose to commit suicide?"
"This is impossible!" Jian Lingchen immediately refuted Ye Zifei's conjecture with utter certainty. He spoke with extreme contempt, "If it was someone else, I might have chosen to end my own life. However, it is impossible for the Wukun Jun. He is completely a trash who fears life and death. He does not have the courage to commit suicide. "
Ye Zifei said: But there is no secret passage in the cave, even if someone sneaked in to kill Wukun Jun, how could he hide it from me and Zhang Jun?
0
Jian Lingchen said in a cold voice, "There must be someone sneaking in to kill Wukun Jun. It's just that the other party's methods are strange and I am momentarily unable to discover any flaws in them. But, I will find out the flaw, when I do, I will definitely let that person have a taste of my Absolute Blood Sword. "
In the blink of an eye, a surge of biting cold killing intent violently filled the cave, as if blood was mixed in with the wind.
Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei could not help but shiver.
Suddenly, Zhang Jun said, "Senior Brother Ling Chen, could it be that he is the Fang Shaobai Wukun Jun was talking about?"
Ye Zifei also said: "That's right, maybe it is really Fang Shaobai. Didn't the Wukun Jun say that he was forced to come here by the Cloud Sea Sect's disciple, Fang Shaobai? It could be that Fang Shaobai used some strange method to kill the Wukun Jun. "
Jian Lingchen frowned, her mind thinking back to everything Wukun Jun had said since she caught it.
He carefully thought it over, and then rejected both Zhang Ye and Yue Yang's suspicions without any hesitation, "Impossible, this is definitely impossible! Cloud Sea Sect's cloud blowing peak is the weakest mountain in the inner sect of the Cloud Sea Sect. Other than the trash like Elder Hong Zheng, there is only the trash who has lost her martial soul, Duan Muyun.
"Moreover, Wukun Jun is a man who fears life and death but is also a cunning and greedy man. How could he be so straightforward and simple when she was being coerced by me?
After saying that, Jian Lingchen gave another order to Zhang Wen and Ye Wen, "The two of you stay here and guard this place, be careful not to touch Wukun Jun's corpse. I will go ask Master Fan for help so that he can personally take a look, maybe the truth will be revealed."
After Jian Lingchen finished giving orders, she left with big strides. Leaving behind Zhang and Ye Wen, accompanied by a completely uninjured corpse, in this quiet cave, a slight cold wind blew in. The atmosphere was clearly a little strange.
Zhang Ye and Han Qingru looked at each other and swallowed their saliva. They both felt an inexplicable sense of horror. It was as if there was a pair of eyes looking at them from the invisible air, laughing …
