C309 Miserable kill!
"It's a little cold," Zhang Jun said uneasily as he looked around. He realized that Ye Zifei's expression did not seem to be normal, so he felt even more uneasy.
However, Ye Zifei snorted and said: "Why is it so cold, could there be more ghosts and monsters in this world?"
Zhang Jun said, "I don't know if there are any ghosts or not, but if someone were to play tricks on us, it would be too terrifying."
Ye Zifei was stumped for words, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
That's right, the two of them were standing guard outside the cave without moving an inch away from it. Even if it was a mosquito, it would be impossible for it to fly into the cave through their eyes, let alone burrow into the cave and kill Wukun Jun.
To be able to do such an impossible thing, it was simply too strange.
The more they felt uneasy, the more uneasy they became.
The strange chill in the air made them instinctively move closer to the cave.
It seemed that only when one was near the cave entrance could one's body be exposed to the sunlight outside the cave, and be able to absorb some warmth from the cave.
Even so, the coldness that permeated the air did not dissipate. It was like maggots attached to the bones, as if even sunlight could not disperse them.
Time passed second by second.
The two of them felt like a year had passed.
Just then, Jian Lingchen had already walked into another cave.
There were hundreds of meters of tunnels in the cave. It was like a giant snake lying on its belly. It twisted and turned, making the cave less sunny and damp. The interior of the cave was illuminated by an Earthfire Pearl. At the same time, some of the moist air in the cave was dispersed, causing wisps of smoke to swirl around like a dense fog.
On top of a stone bed sat a man in his forties with a narrow face and a scar across the left side of his face that cut straight through the right eyebrow. The eyebrow split into two and went into his hair bun.
The yellow clothed man seemed to have sat here for a long time, maintaining his unmoving posture from the beginning to the end. Even when Jian Lingchen walked in, his ears only twitched slightly, without making any other movements.
Jian Lingchen stopped ten steps away from the yellow clothed man. In front of him, he no longer had the overbearing attitude of when he was interrogating Wukun Jun, nor did he have the might of Zhang Yu and Ye Wen. All he had was a rather respectful expression on his face.
"Master Fan, Martial Nephew has something to report." Jian Lingchen said.
The yellow-clothed man didn't open his eyes. He only opened his mouth and lightly said, "Speak!"
Jian Lingchen said: "Wukun Jun is dead, she should have been killed by someone, but strangely, junior nephew was unable to find any trace of injury on Wukun Jun's corpse."
The yellow-clothed man suddenly opened his eyes as a sharp gaze shot out like a sword beam soaring into the heavens. It seemed as if it could cut through the air in front of him, causing invisible ripples to appear in the air.
"When did it happen?"
"Just now!"
Jian Lingchen then explained to Zhang and Ye about what happened after they took care of the Wukun Jun.
When the yellow clothed man finished listening, a strange look flashed across his eyes, as if he was surprised by what Jian Lingchen had said.
A moment later, the yellow-clothed man stood up and floated down to the stone bed. "Come, I'll go take a look myself."
Jian Lingchen immediately turned to the side to give the yellow clothed man a seat. However, just as the yellow clothed man took a step forward, he changed his mind, "No, I can't leave this place. Carry Wukun Jun's corpse over here and I'll check it myself."
Jian Lingchen thought for a bit, then her eyes flashed a look of understanding as she hurriedly said, "Senior Master, please don't blame me. I … I will go and bring the Wukun Jun over. "
After he finished speaking, Jian Lingchen left in a hurry, returning back the way he came. When he returned to the cave, Wukun Jun's corpse was still lying on the ground. Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei who were guarding the corpse only had Ye Zifei left.
Jian Lingchen frowned: "Why is it only you, where's Zhang Jun?"
Ye Zifei immediately said: "Senior brother Ling Chen, Zhang Jun has gone out to relieve himself. He has just gone out, he should be back soon."0
Jian Lingchen waved her hands impatiently and said angrily, "There really are a lot of sh * t and urine. Alright, let's not wait for him anymore. Carry the Wukun Jun and come with me to see the Master Fan. "
Ye Zifei did not dare to be negligent, she carried Wukun Jun on her back in a few steps, and then left in a hurry with Jian Lingchen. Not long after, she brought Wukun Jun's corpse in front of the yellow-clothed man.
The yellow clothed man quickly checked on Wukun Jun's corpse, and after a moment, his face revealed a look of anger: "Bastard, it's actually poison!"
Jian Lingchen was shocked, and exclaimed: "Poison? Master Fan said that Wukun Jun was killed by poison, how is that possible? I don't feel any traces of poison from Wukun Jun's body! "
Ye Zifei was even more so scared that her legs went soft, she immediately knelt in front of the yellow clothed man and begged for forgiveness, "Master Fan, please spare us, Junior Master really doesn't know what happened. Zhang Jun and I are guarding the cave entrance, there's no way we can get someone to poison Wukun Jun!"
The yellow clothed man did not pay attention to Ye Zifei as he spoke in a loud voice, "I killed him with poison! Based on my many years of experience, the one who killed Wukun Jun should be the legendary Soul Poison. This kind of poison does not harm the body but only the soul, and it can unknowingly disintegrate a person's soul into nothingness. "
"The Soul Dissolving Poison is colourless and odourless, and after the soul is erased, it will disperse along with the soul. So the corpse of the person that was killed by the Soul Dissolving Poison would not leave even the slightest trace. If it wasn't a knowledgeable person, they would only think that this kind of thing is done by ghosts and gods, falling into an unfathomable speculation, and becoming extremely terrified. "
After Jian Lingchen heard the yellow-clothed man's explanation, she then exclaimed in rage, "Dammit, I didn't expect that Wukun Jun would actually die like that, no wonder I couldn't find any traces of poison on her body."
After saying that, Jian Lingchen's gaze landed on Ye Zifei, "Ye Zifei, how exactly are you guarding this place? You actually didn't even know that someone poisoned Wukun Jun."
"I … I don't know!" Ye Zifei was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Wukun Jun was actually poisoned to death right under his nose, yet he didn't notice in the slightest, and this made him completely unable to find a reason to explain everything that had happened.
The yellow-clothed man suddenly sneered and interrupted, "Of course you don't know. Even if you did, you would probably say no." "According to what I know, the Soul Transformation poison is from the snake gall of the Soul Transformation demon snake. After leaving the Soul Transformation demon snake gall, it can only be sealed inside profound ice, so before poison can be administered, the ice must be melted and the target is not more than ten steps away. Otherwise, the soul poison itself will dissipate in the air."
Before the yellow clothed man could finish speaking, Ye Zifei's face had already turned ashen as if he was struck by lightning. Jian Lingchen's face was full of anger, he walked up and grabbed Ye Zifei's neck and shouted angrily, "Ye Zifei, tell me, who poisoned you and Zhang Jun?"
This was too obvious.
Since Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei kept watch at the cave entrance, then they excluded the possibility of others poisoning. No matter what, Zhang Jun and Ye Zifei were the most suspicious of them all, either being one of them, or the two of them colluding together.
As for why he did this, the reason was too simple. It was to silence them, to plot against them, for the secret plane!
Ye Zifei was too unjustly accused, he did not know what kind of Soul Poison Soul Transformation was, and had never heard of Soul Transformation poison, where did the Soul Transformation poison come from to kill the Wukun Jun?
At this time, she had inexplicably become the killer of Wukun Jun. She wanted to cry, but there were no tears.
In the midst of his panic, Ye Zifei suddenly thought of Zhang Jun, and Jian Lingchen also thought of Zhang Jun. Since Ye Zifei and Zhang Jun were both suspected of poisoning the Wukun Jun, how could he not ask Zhang Jun about it?
Jian Lingchen decisively put Ye Zifei down and quickly left, returning to the cave from before. Zhang Jun was actually not in the cave.
Jian Lingchen's heart was filled with dark clouds. Didn't they say that Zhang Jun had gone to resolve the problem?
Jian Lingchen forcefully restrained the suspicion and anger in her heart that she did not want to admit it, and searched around the mountain cave for traces of Zhang Jun. She even gathered the other Heavenly Sword Sect Disciple s, but no one had seen Zhang Jun before.
That Zhang Jun seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.
The haze in Jian Lingchen's heart suddenly reached its peak as he angrily returned to the yellow-clothed man's cave.
"Ye Zifei, you told me that Zhang Jun went to resolve the issue, why was it that even after I searched the entire valley, I still could not find Zhang Jun's whereabouts?"
Ye Zifei was stunned, and after a good three seconds, she suddenly shouted crazily, "I know, I know, it must be Zhang Jun, he must be the one who poisoned Wukun Jun when I wasn't paying attention. She had originally thought that she could hide this from the world, but unexpectedly, the Master Fan could see through her method of death. She knew that she was unable to escape this calamity, so she faked a small escape — — it must be him, it must be Zhang Jun.
Jian Lingchen looked at Ye Zifei coldly, and only after Ye Zifei finished shouting did she sneer: "That makes sense, according to what you said, it is indeed possible that Zhang Jun had already betrayed you. But can I also suspect that you were the one who poisoned the poison? You took advantage of the time when I was reporting to Master Fan to kill Zhang Jun, exterminated his body, and framed him? "
Ye Zifei's eyes widened. Other than fear, anger and despair. He knew that no matter what happened today, he would not be able to explain it clearly.
At this moment, the yellow clothed man waved his hand coldly, "Ling Chen, it's up to you! If you can ask, you can ask. If you can't ask, you can just kill them.
No matter how much Ye Zifei begged, she did not reveal any mercy or sympathy. In front of the huge benefits of the secret realm, even if she really did kill a fellow disciple, what did it matter?
