C559 Behind the Murder
Su Bai, who was watching the battle from the side, was deep in thought for a moment. A serious expression appeared on her face. It seemed that she had already guessed some of the reasons.
If it was in terms of cultivation level and strength, Jiang Muwan would naturally be stronger. But according to Su Bai's observation, it seemed that the spiritual energy in Zhou Zhen's body had devoured the spiritual energy in other people's bodies. From this, it was effortless for him to neutralize the effect of the enemy's attack. It seemed that this was the reason why Jiang Muwan was defeated.
"It's just an evil cultivator. If this is the basis of being arrogant and arrogant, then it would be too much to look down on!"
Being exposed by Jiang Muwan's words, Zhou Zhen's expression immediately became gloomy. In the next second, he actually attacked the injured Jiang Muwan without caring about anything else.
The spiritual energy in Jiang Muwan's body kept surging. The Lady Sword in her hand instantly flew out and shot towards Zhou Zhen. But because of the special reason of Zhou Zhen's evil cultivation, the Lady Sword lost control and fell to the ground when it approached Zhou Zhen's chest. However, it was still injured by a trace of sword qi.
Zhou Zhen was completely enraged by Jiang Muwan's counterattack. The spiritual energy in his body was pushed to the limit. But just as his fierce attack was about to reach Jiang Muwan who did not have any strength to retaliate, Su Bai who was watching from the side coldly snorted. Instantly all of the attacks were stopped.
Zhou Zhen's cold eyes could not help but turn to Su Bai who looked like a loli. But when the two of them looked at each other, the expression on Zhou Zhen's face changed from serious to an extremely panicked expression.
"Demonic beast..."
At this moment, the violent hot blood in Zhou Zhen's body seemed to have been doused with a basin of cold water. Even the courage to fight was extinguished in an instant. He sat on the ground with a dazed expression.
Although Zhou Zhen, as an evil cultivator, had a strange technique in his hands, it was very unfortunate that... The demon beast Little Su Bai, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, was the greatest bane of evil cultivators like them. This was because the battle between demon beasts did not rely on the spirit energy in their bodies.
After solving Zhou Zhen's problem, Su Bai took out the healing pill that they had prepared from their bags. After Jiang Muwan swallowed it, she felt the medicinal effect of the concentrated pill spreading in her lower abdomen. The injuries in her body were also quickly healed.
"According to our observations, there is no longer any regenerative effect in the sea here. There won't be any more fish. So, if you three brothers want to survive in this world... I'm afraid you'll have to leave this place!" Jiang Muwan reminded Xu Ping and the other two brothers afterwards.
The three brothers nodded. In fact, they already knew that the money they earned from selling fish every day was no longer enough to support their survival. But after all, this fishing village was the place they had lived for nearly 30 years. They could not bear to leave this place.
As for Jiang Muwan and Su Bai, they continued on their way to the South Sea.
...
"Found it! Based on the exact time and location of the crime scenes that happened recently, we have discovered some sort of pattern... Based on this pattern, we can deduce the time and location of the next murder case! " Xu Zhou, who was immersed in his work, suddenly released the news.
After Shen Qingfeng solved the matter of Li Junshan and his son, five consecutive murders occurred in the downtown area of Yanjing. According to the forensic analysis, they were all killed in one strike. And the suspect was a mutant who had taken the genetic medicine!
Because this incident had caused quite a bit of public opinion in Yanjing City, it had caused panic among the people of various social classes. Therefore, the leader had decided to leave this matter to the Abnormal Human Research Institute of Yanjing to deal with as soon as possible. He had to arrest the suspect within ten days.
For more than ten days, all the staff of the Abnormal Human Research Institute of Yanjing worked overtime. Even Shen Qingfeng, who had never participated in the research institute's normal typing, became very serious about this matter.
After hearing Xu Zhou's words, Shen Qingfeng immediately understood what he meant. He took out a detailed map of the Yanjing's urban area. He marked the locations of the five murders on the map. Finally, he found the pattern that Xu Zhou had mentioned.
Xun (Wind) Li (Fire) Kun (Earth) Dui (Lake). This was the location where the Eight Trigrams Formation was connected to the Yin and Eight Trigrams. Could it be that the culprit behind all of these murders was a Taoist who actually knew how to arrange the Eight Trigrams Yin Formation? This matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingfeng could not help frowning. His eyes shifted to Xu Zhou. Xu Zhou also sensed Shen Qingfeng's profound gaze. His eyes slightly narrowed and nodded.
There was no time to lose. The timing of each murder case in the Eight Trigrams Yin Formation could also be matched. Therefore, Shen Qingfeng and Xu Zhou went together to find out the exact location of the next murder according to the pattern. On the way there, they found the exact location of the next murder case. Xu Zhou told them everything.
It turned out that Xu Zhou wasn't the only descendant of Taoism, but an outer sect disciple of Taoism. At that time, one of the sect master's last disciples was chosen as the future sect master of Taoism, and his name was Tu Yuan. He was the eldest senior brother of Xu Zhou and many other inner and outer sect disciples.
However, after the joint decision of the elders of Taoism, Tu Yuan was disqualified as the successor of the sect master. From then on, he was expelled from the Daoism sect and disappeared without a trace.
Until the decline of Daoism, Xu Zhou, the only remaining Daoism disciple, also found out the real reason why Tu Yuan's right to be the successor of the sect master was revoked from the mouth of the Daoism sect master.
Tu Yuan was an evil cultivator. In order to pursue the supreme Tao Arts, he was able to kill the innocent. It completely went against the original intention of the Daoism disciples to cultivate. Therefore, this kind of person could only be expelled from the sect!
Xu Zhou speculated that the person who could deduce the Yin Eight Trigrams formation diagram, other than himself who had obtained the inheritance of the Tao Arts, should belong to this great senior brother, Tu Yuan, without a doubt!
"If all of this was really done by this great senior brother of yours, would you show mercy to him?" Shen Qingfeng asked Xu Zhou, who had a heavy heart.
However, Xu Zhou firmly shook his head. Shen Qingfeng was quite satisfied with Xu Zhou's answer. However, he patted Xu Zhou's shoulder to comfort him. He didn't expect Xu Zhou's words to surprise him in the next second.
"I won't be lenient, because I can't beat him at all!"2
