My brother is wicked in the five elements

Chapter 36 The Elder Pavilion
"Master! Master! Tianming is back, are you there? Xiao Zhou? Is Xiao Zhou here!" Xu Tianming pushed away some burnt and fallen beams and shouted loudly.

"Master, I'm here."

A thin gossamer voice came from the guest room.

Xu Tianming rushed over after hearing the sound.

Moving away the half-remaining door, he saw Zhou Yunqian sitting on the small stool beside the bed with a look of grief on his face.

'Why is she looking at me like that? '

Xu Tianming turned his head and glanced at the bed next to him.

The aged Su Youpeng was lying peacefully on it, his two gray and narrow eyebrows hung down to the floor, his hands were folded on his chest, and the plain white clothes on his body were a little tattered.

Xu Tianming walked to the side of the bed, took a deep breath, and yelled in the master's ear.

"Master, Tianming is back!"

Su Youpeng didn't answer.

Xu Tianming thought he was asleep, so he shook Su Youpeng's arm, and shouted again.

"Master, Xu Tianming is back!"

Su Youpeng was still very quiet, as if he had slept soundly.

Xu Tianming was a little scared, and he passed it under Su Youpeng's nose with his trembling right hand.

No snort.

He came back late, Su Youpeng had passed away.

An indescribable sense of powerlessness dominated Xu Tianming's body, making him feel like a lump in his throat, but he couldn't make any sound.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Su Youpeng, who was in good health, would pass away in just one week.

Zhou Yunqian watched Xu Tianming's face darken, and then asked in a low voice.

"Didn't I tell you to take good care of the master? How did it become like this?"

"It's from the Law Enforcement Hall." Zhou Yunqian pursed her lips and replied.

"They said that Shigong is an undercover agent of the Devil's Cult, and they have found evidence in the Hall of Mirrors. If Shigong doesn't admit it, they will forcefully act."

"The Law Enforcement Hall...huh."

Xu Tianming sneered, this laughter sounded so cold and terrifying to Zhou Yunqian.

Xu Tianming's hands made crackling joint friction sounds.

He remembered that Su Youpeng had some feuds with the elders of Law Enforcement Hall.

"The law enforcement hall is bullying others and avenging private revenge."

Xu Tianming let out a long breath, he was trying to restrain his emotions.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange about Su Youpeng's chest.

Xu Tianming lifted Su Youpeng's skirt, and found a purple-black palm print on his chest.

"Piercing Palm?"

Xu Tianming's face became increasingly ugly.

"The Law Enforcement Hall is so courageous. If the tiger doesn't show its power, it really treats me as a sick cat. I'll let them die without a place to bury them." After Xu Tianming said these words in a deep voice, he rushed out of the door and stood in the courtyard. He called out the flying sword and wanted to leave.

At this moment, three options appeared in front of him.

[Option [-]: Go to the Law Enforcement Hall with a sword and ask them to pay in blood. Kill one for no loss, and kill two for blood.Obtain reward: Wuhuabu (lower grade of heaven)]

[Option [-]: Report this matter to the Elder Pavilion.Obtain reward: Qingfeng Jue (Middle Grade Earth Rank)]

[Option 1: Think.Obtain reward: random attribute +[-]]

think?
Xu Tianming smiled wryly.

If thinking can bring Su Youpeng back to life, he will choose to think.

But this is his home.

In the place where he lived since he was a child, Alec Su was his only relative.

Now the home is gone.

The master is gone too.

All he wanted now was revenge.

"Master, don't go!" Zhou Yunqian chased him out and shouted at Xu Tianming, "Master, I left a message for you, don't fight them lightly."

Xu Tianming paused when he heard this.

Feijian floated in the low sky in silence, swinging up and down for a while.

"Okay, I won't go."

Xu Tianming jumped off the flying sword.

He could still listen to Su Youpeng's words.

If he really died, he would never be able to clear up the grievances of the master.

"..."

'I'm not a child anymore, I can't be impulsive.'

Back in the room, Xu Tianming asked Zhou Yunqian about the details of this matter again.

Zhou Yunqian spoke truthfully.

Three days ago, the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly broke into the Mirror Hall, saying that they suspected that someone here had tipped off the Demon Sect and wanted the suzerain's daughter to die violently in Jieyuan.After a search, the Law Enforcement Hall claimed that they had obtained the incriminating evidence, which was a letter with very detailed methods of committing the crime. After comparison, it was confirmed that it was Su Youpeng's handwriting.The law enforcement hall brought people to arrest Su Youpeng. Su Youpeng asked Zhou Yunqian to hide in advance. He faced more than a dozen people alone, and was beaten to death for resisting arrest.

Because the Zongmen stipulated that it is not a crime to kill those who resist arrest, and the people in the Law Enforcement Hall were not punished in any way.

Xu Tianming took a deep breath after listening in silence, looked at the tired Zhou Yunqian and said in relief, "I'm here, you should take a good rest first."

"it is good."

It seemed to Zhou Yunqian that she was also worried these days. After Xu Tianming was by her side, she seemed to have a sense of security, and soon fell asleep.

Xu Tianming sat next to Su Youpeng, stared at the familiar and old face of the master for a while, and then slowly closed his eyes.

'I have to think. '

From the moment my junior sister and I arrived at Jie Yuan, things went wrong.

The people from the Demon Cult have grasped our whereabouts, so there must be an inner ghost in the sect who tipped us off.

Could this inner ghost be the master?
Impossible, he has no reason to do this. There is no motive for committing the crime.

and many more.

I seem to be missing something important.

"Two people!" Xu Tianming suddenly opened his eyes.

As Wu Feng said from the beginning, the information the Demon Cult got was that only Zhao Wenqi and I came to Jieyuan.But we are obviously four people, why did they miss Yang Liuhua and Li Yan? '

Because they boarded the ship temporarily, it means that the news of the insider was delayed at that time!
Why are messages delayed?

Because the inner ghost wants to retreat!
Or if he wants to leave the sect for other things, he can only send the letter in advance!

"In other words, maybe when Zhao Wenqi came to Xijiange to look for me, the news of the inner ghost was already on the way."

After thinking about this clearly, Xu Tianming got up, walked out of the room, and walked in the direction of Qingyue Peak
"Brother, I was just taking a shower. I heard that you were looking for me, and I came out immediately. Um, what's the matter?" Zhao Wenqi asked shyly. Her shirt was wrinkled a lot, and she rushed out after putting it on obviously hastily. .

Xu Tianming licked his dry lips.

"Junior Sister Zhao, I want to ask you one thing. Can you help me find out who in the sect is retreating and who has left the sect during the week we went out?"

Zhao Wenqi was a little surprised, she didn't understand what the senior brother was looking for.

But she didn't continue to ask, because she could see that Xu Tianming was in a hurry.

"It's a small matter. There are not many caves in our sect for retreat, and there are very few people performing tasks. I ordered the people below to investigate, and it didn't take half an hour."

Zhao Wenqi left.

Xu Tianming waited for about two sticks of incense before she came back with the news.

"Brother, I found out. No one has left the sect these days, but there are more than a dozen people who are in retreat, all of them are elders from the Elder Pavilion!"

Elder?
Xu Tianming gasped.

If true, then things get complicated.
