Jiang Ting's considerations were not false. After Zhou An and the others had tracked them to the previous battlefield, they did not have to observe for long before a seemingly weak young man discovered that there had been a great battle and a fierce battle with the Jade Beast.

"Indeed. Looking at the traces on the ground, it seems like most of them were left behind by the Jade Beast. . . "

Before he finished his words, Zhou An suddenly came back to his senses. "Where is the Jade Beast?"

The other four's breathing quickened.

Jiang Ting's emotions did not change. His face was full of astonishment. "Could it be that it was hidden somewhere else?"

One of the guarding disciples said. " No, there were no traces of magic on the ground. The traces here seem to have been left behind by the Jade Beast. Could it be. . . It's not that someone is fighting it, but that it's going crazy here?"

"Why would the Jade Beast go crazy for no reason?" Zhou An frowned.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Jiang Ting looked confused, as if he knew nothing.

Zhou An squinted his eyes and kept looking around.

The thin young man who spoke first suddenly said, "There are no signs of the Jade Stone Beast leaving here. . . . If my guess is correct. . . The Jade Stone Beast did not go crazy. There was indeed someone who fought the Jade Beast here, and he even killed it. "

The traces here were not concealed. As long as one was smart, it would not be difficult to deduce.

Zhou An instantly denied it. "Impossible. The Jade Beast's defensive power is not to be underestimated. It cannot be broken by someone who is not at the Foundation Establishment stage. Who can kill the Jade Beast?"

That person did not deny it. Instead, he frowned. "Then, should we look around?"

"That's the only way. " Zhou An was instantly enraged, but he did not show it.

Following which, the six of them spread out and started searching the vein.

Although Jiang Ting knew that it was impossible to find the Jade Beast. . . However, he put on a show and did not reveal anything unusual. Instead, he started to focus on searching, as if the Jade Beast was still hidden in the vein.

. . .

Very quickly, six hours passed.

At the place where Jiang Ting had been cultivating for three days.

The six of them regrouped at this place.

As soon as they regrouped, Zhou An said, "I didn't find it. What about you guys?"

"No. "

He then added, "I didn't find it either. "

"I didn't even find any traces of the Jade Beast at the place I was searching. "

"I didn't find anything. "

The other four disciples who were guarding at the seventh level of Qi Refining shook their heads. After that, they all turned to look at Jiang Ting.

"I didn't notice it either. "

After a pause, Jiang Ting revealed a puzzled expression. "Where did the Jade Beast go? Could it be. . . Could it be that someone really killed it?"

At the end of his words, Jiang Ting's face was filled with anger. His eyes were filled with a hint of unwillingness and anger.

When the crowd saw this, their hearts sank. They had searched every single area of the mineral vein. Since they had not found it, they could only prove that the Jade Beast was gone.

As for the other places where the Jade Beast had gone to. . . It was impossible. The other places were still mining. If the Jade Beast had really come close, the mortals would have already started to shout for help. How could they still dig in peace?

The place fell into silence.

After a long time, Zhou An asked, "Junior Brother Jiang, did anything unusual happen?"

"No. " At the end of his words, Jiang Ting smiled bitterly, "Three days ago, the Jade Beast went deep into the mine, and I didn't dare to follow it any further. After receiving senior disciple's reply, I stayed here and didn't discover anything unusual. If not, how would I dare to cultivate?"

Zhou An's expression immediately sank. The Jade Beast that carried good stuff actually flew out of his mouth just like that?

The dark-skinned guarding disciple's eyes flashed slightly. "Junior disciple Jiang, you were the one who was paying attention to the tracks of the Jade Beast. Could it be that you killed the Jade Beast?"

"I killed it?" Jiang Ting was startled for a moment, then he pretended to be extremely angry and laughed instead. "This joke is not funny. If I can really kill that Jade Beast and have that kind of strength, do I still need to guard the mine?"

The man muttered with a fake smile, "That's not necessarily true. The four of us have been guarding the mine for a long period of time. Only Junior Jiang, you will leave after guarding it for a month. It's just right for you to leave after earning some money. "

Zhou An's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything.

Although the people here did not believe that Jiang Ting could kill the Jade Beast, none of them believed that Jiang Ting could. However, they still needed to find a clue at this moment.

The Jade Beast was not an ordinary Demonic Beast, but a Demonic Beast that carried great benefits. If it really disappeared without any reason, who would be willing?

Jiang Ting's smile disappeared, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes. "Junior brother, are you serious?"

His voice was cold.

The man frowned. After Jiang Ting came to the mine, he had always been kind to people. Apart from those who were weaker than him, all those who were at the same cultivation level as him addressed him as senior brother.

Previously, if not for Jiang Ting taking the initiative to take on the task of monitoring the Demonic Beast, the five people here would be five senior brothers, not four. . . Now, Jiang Ting suddenly changed his way of addressing a senior brother as junior brother, and his voice was cold and sinister.

This was not a good sign. This place suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, a person tried to smooth things over. "Senior disciple Jiang, you know how precious the Jade Beast is. Senior disciple Jia He is also in a panic. Why don't senior disciple Jiang and senior disciple Jia He give me some face and stop here? What do you think?"

The person who spoke was the one who had been placed under surveillance by Zhou An, and then replaced by Jiang Ting's array flag. His name was Hu Hao.

As for Jia He, he was the person who had targeted Jiang Ting just now.

Jiang Ting did not say anything.

Jia He's eyes flashed. "Junior brother, the Jade Beast was here before. You are guarding this place. If someone attacked the Jade Beast, they would not be able to avoid you and find the Jade Beast. . . . Could it be that Junior Brother thought that it was not good for the five of them to divide it up and wanted the two of them to divide it up, so he found an expert to kill the Jade Beast?"

"Interesting. "

After saying that, Jiang Ting took out the storage bag from his waist. "My storage bag is right here, you can check it. "

Jia He's breathing quickened.

Jiang Ting acted as if he did not see it. His eyes were extremely cold. "If Shui Yuxin is not in the storage bag, Junior Brother, if you go too far, I'm afraid you will have to be careful of the Li Sect in the future. There is not much in Crane Mourn Mountain, but there are a lot of Demonic Beasts. Our Purple Frost Sect has a lot of brothers who die in Crane Mourn Mountain's Demonic Beasts every year!"

Then, he laughed coldly. "Of course, you can also say that I have already absorbed that Shui Yuxin. If you really can say it, then I, Jiang, will have nothing to say. "

Zhou An finally spoke up and berated softly, "Junior Jia He, we are all fellow disciples of the same sect. Why are you making such a big fuss? You have crossed the line. Junior Jiang, Junior Jia was also anxious for a moment. When there was a sudden change in the situation, you immediately sent me a message. I naturally believe you, so keep your storage bag. That's right, if anyone still suspects you, senior disciple will be the first to not let him go. "

Jia He instantly revealed a smile. "Senior disciple Jiang, junior disciple was too rash just now. "

"No, senior brother was wrong as well. " Jiang Ting instantly responded with a smile.

They didn't know that the jade heart of the Jade Beast was really in the storage bag. . . If they really checked the storage bag, the truth would definitely surface on the spot.0

Unfortunately, they didn't check it. They, from the start, didn't think that Jiang Ting could kill the Jade Beast. Jia He's forceful suspicions were only an attempt to find out from Jiang Ting if there were any clues that he hadn't missed out.
