C63 Suspected
"Since none of you have offended anyone, then who on earth has poisoned the spirit bird's wooden fence with the Soul Chasing Poison?" Protector Orange frowned slightly, but what he said surprised Wu Di.
Soul Chasing Poison? Isn't this a poison that can poison cultivators to death? Under normal circumstances, a cultivator's body would be much stronger than an ordinary person's, so even if they were poisoned, they might not die. Instead, they could use spirit energy to extract the poison, so they wouldn't die.
However, the Soul Chasing Poison was a poison that could kill cultivators. Of course, it was only effective against disciples below the Earth Fiend Stage realm.
Cold sweat broke out on Wu Di's back. He thought of the first person who had appeared. The person was just standing in front of the wooden fence and didn't go in. And the poison he used would not kill anyone. So the answer was obvious.
The first person to appear was actually trying to kill him. The one who appeared later was probably trying to go in and attack those spiritual birds, so that Wu Di would be put in a disadvantageous position.
In this way, there was an even more vicious person who wanted to kill him. The first person that Wu Di suspected was Yu Qing. This person had always wanted his life, but because he didn't have the chance to kill him, he didn't have the chance to do so. That was why he wanted to rope Wu Di in.
When Mu Lee told him that someone was trying to frame him, the first person Wu Di thought of was Yu Qing. But now, there were two groups of people, and he couldn't figure out who was trying to frame him.
"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Also, last night, someone heard a shout and alerted the night guards to investigate. Could this person be the one who poisoned them?" Protector Orange analyzed carefully.
Wu Di's heart was beating faster and faster. He had never thought that he would kill someone. If he were to investigate further, he would be at the scene yesterday. He had even seen the first person poisoning the poison. Unfortunately, because of the angle, he did not know that the wooden fence was covered with poison.
Protector Yellow said, "Recently, strange things have happened frequently in the Seven Star Sect. We can't rule out the possibility that the demons are causing trouble. So, we sent a message to everyone to be on high alert. Once we find any suspicious people, we will immediately arrest them."
"Yes!" A few disciples accepted the order and left.
Wu Di and the two outer circle disciples who were working for him stood aside for a moment, not knowing if they should interrupt. As time passed, the two protectors who had been silent all this time finally spoke.
"Alright, no matter what, we didn't suffer any great losses this time. We will investigate the poison thoroughly. As for the place where the spirit birds are raised, it seems like we need to reorganize it. We will find a way to set up the Inhibition in the surroundings, and no one is allowed to approach unless the token is given. " You may leave now. "
"Wu Di, as the disciple in charge of managing the spirit birds, you must not slack off. If anything happens to the spirit birds, I will punish them according to the sect rules. Do you understand?" Protector Yellow said.
When Wu Di was about to leave with his two companions, he paused at the door. "Guardians, there is something I don't know if I should tell you or not."
The two guards frowned when they heard that, but Protector Orange quickly told the two disciples to leave first, leaving only Wu Di behind.
Wu Di cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Actually, I was afraid that I would lose the job of guarding the place, so I sprinkled some powder of this Heavenly Song Grass at the wooden fence."
"Heavenly Song Grass?" Protector Orange frowned and repeated.
"Last time, I found some Sky Song Grass. I wonder if Protector Orange still remembers it. " I used to work in Spirit Medicine Garden, so I have more knowledge about spirit medicine and spirit grasss than ordinary disciples. The Sky Song Grass had a hallucinatory effect to begin with. s at the entrance of the wooden fence, worrying that someone might accidentally barge in. However, this kind of grass would definitely not kill people. "If you don't believe me, then the maintenance law can be checked on the spot."
Wu Di did not want to bring about his own death. He had to take the initiative to explain himself. He would not end up being the scapegoat of suspicion.
When Protector Orange took the porcelain bottle that Wu Di handed over, he sniffed it and nodded. "It is indeed Sky Song Grass. There are some other ingredients added, but they are all non-toxic."
"Then who smeared the poison on it to kill people? No matter what this disciple did in the place where he raised the spirit birds, he would not take the other party's life." Protector Yellow looked at Wu Di with a sharp gaze.
Wu Di admitted that he knew medicine and often went to the Spirit Medicine Garden. He was the only person who could come into contact with the poisonous grass, so naturally, he had become the number one suspect.
"Guards, I want to see who this dead senior brother is. I wonder if you can agree to it?" Wu Di asked.
If he was going to be suspected sooner or later, he might as well openly walk into the suspected group. Wu Di did this to get rid of his doubts as soon as possible.
Of course, Protector Yellow wasn't willing to do this. He had a lot of distrust towards Wu Di, but Protector Orange said, "If you want to see it, you can look at it.
Wu Di walked to the corpse and removed the white cloth. He found that it was an unfamiliar face. Wu Di didn't recognize it. Wu Di frowned slightly. He wanted to determine the identity of this person. He wanted to know who sent this person. This time, it seemed that the clue had been broken.
After Wu Di was disappointed for a while, he suddenly saw a black scar on the neck of the corpse. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically as he said, "Protector, it's a demonic devil."
The two protectors immediately stood up from their seats and ran to the corpse. When they lowered their heads and saw the black Qi on the disciple's neck, they looked at each other.
Protector Orange stood up straight and said to Wu Di, "You must keep this matter a secret. You are not allowed to mention it to anyone. Let's go out first."
Wu Di nodded and immediately turned around and left. However, his expression was not very good. He had already heard from the statement that the Myriad Demon Sect was about to stir up trouble, but now he did not dare to say anything.2
Could it be that the Seven Star Sect was really going to face a great disaster this time? Wu Di had been preoccupied along the way. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the forest where the spirit birds were kept. He didn't expect that there were already several outer sect disciples in charge here. It seemed that the higher-ups attached great importance to this matter.
Wu Di didn't approach. He only took a glance from afar and left. Naturally, Protector Yellow and the others would be the ones to worry about the investigation of the murderer. He was just a small disciple, how could he waste so much time and energy on this matter?
It just so happened that he didn't have to worry about the matter of raising spirit birds for the time being. The next day, he was informed that the forest where the spirit bird was staying was temporarily under the Inhibition. Wu Di only needed to wait for news these few days and didn't need to go over to feed the spirit bird.
This was the best news that Wu Di had heard. He only went once every half a month to take the herbs. Now, it was equivalent to him having nothing to do these few days. If he did not take the opportunity to cultivate properly, he would be letting himself down.
Wu Di did not know that his every move had been monitored long ago. Furthermore, it was secretly monitored. However, this didn't affect Wu Di at all. He was currently immersed in practicing the North Nether Soul Refinement Song. Sometimes, he would stay in the room for two or three days without coming out. If it wasn't for Mu Lee and Zhao Tiehniu looking for him, he wouldn't even show his face.
Ten days passed just like that. Wu Di was cultivating inside this time when he heard a knock on the door. He immediately withdrew his cultivation technique. The person who was looking for him at this time was definitely not Mu Lee or Zhao Tiehniu. That was why he withdrew his cultivation technique so quickly.
When Wu Di opened the door, he saw two outer circle disciples standing outside. They were the two people who had brought him to see the two protectors the last time.
"Senior Brother Wu, the two protectors have invited you over."
Wu Di nodded. Without cleaning up, he closed the door and left with them.
When Wu Di came to this pavilion again, the atmosphere inside was still respectful. Wu Di cupped his hands and greeted the two of them, but the uninvited guest also appeared.
"Humph! Do you two think I won't know if you keep it a secret? This kid might be a member of the Thousand Monster Sect. The sect has a rule that it's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Are the two of you muddle-headed?"
Protector Yellow slapped the armrest of the chair and said, "Protector Red, please pay attention to your words. This is my place. If you continue to be so rude, I will get someone to kick you out immediately."
"What? Am I wrong? Should we go up there and argue and see if you are right or I am right?"
