Chapter 111 Assassination
Chapter 111 Assassination
Hsu Wei-lin is dead.
That's what everyone thinks.
She herself knew nothing about it.
The room was covered in blood, and Xu Weilin's clothes were stained red with blood. There was a huge bloody hole in her abdomen, especially in her heart, where a knife had been plunged in.
Her face was completely bloodless, only a chilling pale white.
"Xiaolin! Xu Weilin!" Lin Xuanjin shook her body desperately, but received no response.
"Senior Sister!" The cries of the Muxue Sect disciples echoed throughout the mountainside of Bai Niao Peak.
Many people came to see it.
Disciples from the eight major sects all arrived at White Bird Peak.
Their faces showed sadness, smugness, and even the satisfaction of revenge.
The leaders of various sects rushed over, and Yan Ze's expression was not good.
A murder occurred at Qingyun Sect, especially when other sects were present during the sect competition.
"Yan Ze, you must give me an explanation!" Lin Xuanjin rushed angrily to Yan Ze, the sword in his hand gleaming coldly.
Although Yan Ze was somewhat embarrassed, he still calmly said, "Qingyun Sect will definitely find the murderer."
Lin Xuanjin's hands trembled uncontrollably; the immense grief in his heart was almost overwhelming him.
His eldest disciple saved the Twilight Snow Sect from destruction and healed him from certain death, only to be silently murdered right under his nose.
Lin Xuanjin's sword fell to the ground, and he helplessly found a place to sit down.
Ling Moqing, the sect leader of Yunxiao Sect, couldn't bear to see this and patted Lin Xuanjin on the shoulder: "Brother Lin, please accept my condolences."
Meng Qingyue, Mu Zhi, and the others surrounded Lin Xuanjin. They couldn't say anything to comfort him; all they could do was sob.
Looking at Xu Weilin, whose eyes were closed, Song Huai'an felt no pleasure, only a bittersweet feeling.
They killed someone they had fought the day before yesterday for no reason today.
In the distance, Si Jinchuan glanced at it silently, unable to believe it.
How could she die?
Ye Qianqian was overjoyed, but she forced out tears to express her grief.
Elder Zhao was summoned by Yan Ze.
Elder Zhao had already received news of Xu Weilin's assassination attempt, and his face was full of worry.
Upon seeing Yan Ze, he lowered his head, unsure of how to begin.
Yan Ze said coldly, "Elder Zhao, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate."
Elder Zhao nodded heavily, his voice hoarse: "Yes."
However, he kept his head down, not daring to meet Yan Ze's gaze.
Elder Zhao has always been brave and fearless, and even Yan Ze couldn't control him normally. Why has he changed his nature today?
Yan Ze immediately sensed something was wrong. His face darkened, and he said, "Elder Zhao, what are you hiding?"
Elder Zhao shuddered involuntarily, as if he had been stabbed.
The pressure emanating from Yan Ze suddenly intensified. If it weren't for the profound cultivation of the sect leaders, they would probably have been forced to vomit blood by the pressure.
Elder Zhao felt a metallic taste of blood in his throat, but he finally spoke: "Sect Leader, since the start of the sect competition, three disciples from outside the sect have been killed."
Yan Ze's eyes widened slightly; he had no idea about this.
"what happened?"
“Mo Shiyu, an inner disciple of Biboting, He Huanyan, an inner disciple of Jiudingsi, and Xu Weilin of Muxuezong were all murdered the day before yesterday and last night. The whereabouts of the murderer are unknown.”
Elder Zhao had been under pressure from the leaders of other sects. He had just returned from the scene of He Huanyan's murder and was completely at a loss.
The fact that three disciples were murdered in two days could no longer be concealed.
Yan Ze frowned slightly, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
There are assassins in the sect competition!
"Elder Zhao, hurry and find the assassin." Yan Ze turned to face the other sect leaders, his originally cold tone now carrying a hint of earnest comfort: "Qingyun Sect will definitely give you all an explanation."
No one said anything more, but everyone felt a mix of emotions.
Who exactly is behind this sect competition?
"Fellow Daoist Xu, wake up!" Qin Muyang frantically woke Xie Wanning, who was sleeping on the grass.
Xie Wan Ning rubbed her eyes, while Qiu Ling, the fox spirit who slept next to her, also woke up groggily.
Yesterday, Xie Wanning was suddenly tackled by Qiu Ling who rushed over. Qiu Ling hugged her and introduced herself very enthusiastically.
Xie Wanning knew that her homeland had been destroyed by war, and she had been unfortunately captured by human cultivators and put up for auction.
Fortunately, Xie Wanning won the auction and restored her freedom.
Therefore, Qiu Ling wanted to find Xie Wan Ning to repay her kindness.
As the two chatted, Xie Wanning felt sleepy, so she casually set up a barrier and fell asleep.
Qiu Ling also fell asleep.
I didn't expect Qin Muyang to wake me up.
Xie Wanning looked at the sun that had just risen and said with dissatisfaction, "Sect Leader Qin, isn't the group competition in the afternoon? Why did you call me so early?"
Qin Muyang frowned, sweat dripping from his forehead, his eyes revealing unspeakable anxiety and panic: "Miss Xu, it seems you are dead."
Xie Wanning's eyes twitched slightly, and her mouth opened stiffly: "Sect Leader Qin, you're not having nightmares, are you?"
Qin Muyang handed a sound transmission stone to Xie Wanning. The sound inside was the arguing between Lin Xuanjin and Yan Ze, as well as sorrowful crying.
"Your doll has been killed." Qin Muyang finally sorted out his thoughts and told him what had happened.
Xie Wanning opened her mouth wide, her pupils dilated, and she couldn't speak.
She just sneaked out to play, how could she have died?
"What should I do?" Xie Wanning lowered her head and pondered. Going back now would prove that she was still alive, but the fact that her doll was killed meant that someone wanted to harm her. Going back now would be dangerous and would also let people know that she had gone out in the middle of the night.
“The group competition is not over yet, Miss Xu, we still need to go back to participate.” Qin Muyang calmed down and analyzed carefully: “However, the safest thing for you now is to stay in the black market. There are assassins in Qingyun Sect. In addition to you, two other female disciples were assassinated.”
Xie Wanning trembled slightly.
Wasn't she the only one who died?
Recalling the previous incident of Black Bull's madness, Xie Wanning felt that everything was not simple. What exactly was the person behind it all planning to do? And who would "kill" her?
Xie Wanning knew that going back now would be suicide, so she had to go back, but not as "Xu Weilin".
Xie Wanning took out the necklace from her storage bag, put it on, and transformed into the appearance of "Xu Xiaoli".
She looked up and asked, "Sect Leader Qin, do you have a way to help me participate in the group competition under a different identity?"
Qin Muyang frowned slightly, then nodded calmly: "The black market has dealings with the Lone Peak Sect. I will contact their sect leader and give you the status of an inner disciple."
"Okay, thank you, Pavilion Master Qin." Xie Wanning cupped her hands in thanks.
She turned to look at Qiu Ling and Xiao Bai.
"Do you want to come with me? It might be dangerous."
"Wherever my benefactor goes, I will go." Qiu Ling gave a sincere smile.
Xiao Bai jumped into Xie Wan Ning's arms and started to sleep.
Xie Wanning gave a helpless yet doting smile, turned to Qin Muyang and said, "Sect Leader Qin, let's go."
The assassin blends into the crowd; she wants to find the person who "killed" her.
