Ninth Demon Lord

Chapter 373 Lin Chaofu is Dead

Feng Ting smiled and said, "She's just easily angered by hatred."
"All human beings are enraged by hate."
"yes?"
"Me too, I'm not angry, I just don't know who the enemy is." Xiao Ning said looking at Feng Ting with her long and narrow eyes.

Feng Ting smiled and said: "It seems that you really can't let you know who the enemy is too early."
"Before I die, it would be great if you could help me find it." Xiao Ning said coldly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it." Feng Ting smiled.

"Also, I found this from the dead man." Xiao Ning took out a black jade pendant and handed it to Feng Ting.

Feng Ting took a look and said, "This is the seal of the Lin family, which means he is from the Lin family."
"It seems useless." Xiao Ning said.

"The Lin family is an extremely powerful existence in the hearts of the monster hunters. Showing the seal of the Lin family in front of any monster hunter is very deterrent."
"Really? You keep it."
"good."
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Ning asked.

"If possible, keep an eye on Xue Hengsheng, he really wants to kill us." Feng Ting said.

"Xue Hengsheng is the first level of Burning City, you let me stare at him, you want me to die earlier?" Xiao Ning said with a sideways brow.

Feng Ting smiled lightly: "Although Xue Hengsheng is powerful, it is not easy to catch you."
Xiao Ning looked at Feng Ting and asked coldly: "You want to kill Xue Hengsheng?"
"Yes, but it's hard."
"Is it for Li Wan?"
"It's also for our safety." Feng Ting replied.

Xiao Ning glanced at Feng Ting, turned around, and said, "I'm leaving."
"Be careful."
"I know."
Xiao Ning left after speaking.

Feng Ting took out the Yaohuang Ding and Haihuang Ding, and began to practice while refining medicine.

. . . . . .

At noon, the sun irradiated the mountain where the Baodian Hall was located, making the mountain and the palaces and pavilions on the mountain even more majestic.

In the study, Xue Hengsheng sat quietly, although his expression was shocked, but there was obviously a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

"Master, disciple Sun Zhou is asking to see you."
"Come in."
The door opened, and Sun Zhou came in and greeted the master.

"Have you found it?" Xue Hengsheng asked.

"I didn't find Zhan Qingyu, but I did find Lin Chaofu."
"Where is he?"
"Dead, was attacked by someone, died." Sun Zhou said in a low voice: "Zhan Qingyu should have also been attacked, and he disappeared."
When Xue Hengsheng heard this, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Sun Zhou said in a low voice, "The people who attacked them must be very powerful, otherwise they wouldn't be so fast."
Xue Hengsheng looked at Sun Zhou and asked, "What realm do you think?"
"At least it should be a high-ranking Xuanhu, and at least two people must attack at the same time." Sun Zhou replied.

Xue Hengsheng frowned. Even in his eyes, the two high-ranking Xuanhu are very powerful existences. It is not easy to find such two people.

Sun Zhou looked at Xue Hengsheng and said in a low voice, "Could it be someone from Chuan Gong Hall?"
"Pingjian wouldn't do such a thing." Although Xue Hengsheng had different views on Heping and Jianzheng, he knew very well what his senior brother was like.

Sun Zhou paused for a moment and said, "Now that Lin Chaofu died in Linjia Town, it's hard to blame Li Wan."
"Even if it can't be pushed to Li Wan, it can be pushed to Qi Cangzong." Xue Hengsheng said.

When Sun Zhou heard this, his heart was shocked, and he vaguely understood what the master meant.

Xue Hengsheng said: "Zhan Qingyu has a grudge against Li Wan, if it is blamed on Qi Cangzong, it can be blamed on Li Wan."
"Master is right." Sun Zhou echoed in a low voice.

Xue Hengsheng still frowned, although Lin Chaofu died in the wrong place, but this did not hinder his plan.But he always wanted to know who did it. After thinking about it, he couldn't even guess who did it.

Sun Zhou suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "The Chi Mansion is behind Feng Ting, could it be that Chi Guangnian sent someone to do it?"
Xue Hengsheng continued to shake his head, and said: "Although Chifu has been suppressing Qi Cangzong, but because of Jun Tianzong, Chi Guangnian has always respected Qi Cangzong and never took the initiative to conflict with Qi Cangzong. What's more, this time When it comes to Mu Qingshan's Lin family, Chi Guangnian is so careful, how could he do such a stupid thing."
Sun Zhou also nodded slightly, he had stayed in Grid City for many years.I also have some understanding of Chifu's behavior style, and Chi Guangnian is indeed very safe in doing things.

"However, if the Chifu dared to attack Xue Xiao and the others in the Manghuang Demon Territory, it might not be able to attack Lin Chaofu at the foot of Qi Cang Mountain." Xue Hengsheng said silently.

Sun Zhou had a different opinion, he said in a low voice: "The Manghuang Demon Territory is a Manghuang Demon Territory after all, it is a place where no one is in charge. If you do something there, Chifu can push everything to the monsters. But not at the foot of Qicang Mountain."
"En." Xue Hengsheng nodded slightly, and felt that Sun Zhou's words made sense.

The room became quiet, Xue Hengsheng was thinking about who did it, and Sun Zhou was also thinking about it.But after about a quarter of an hour, both of them frowned and remained silent.

. . . . . .

In Cangling Hall, the lord Xue Bu sat on the throne, waiting for He Jinpeng to report the situation of Yaoku Peak.

It's been too quiet these days and he doesn't like it.He thought neither Zhan Qingyu nor Xue Hengsheng should be so quiet.He hoped that they would take action, and hoped that Li Wan would be under strong pressure, so that Li Wan could be forced to learn from Qi Cangzong.

At this time in the past, He Jinpeng should have come, but today is obviously a bit late.

After a quarter of an hour, He Jinpeng finally came, walked into the hall, bowed and saluted.

"See Master."
"Don't be too polite." Xue Bu noticed that He Jinpeng seemed a little nervous.

"Master, a person died in Lin Jiazhen last night."
"who?"
"Lin Chaofu from Mu Qingshan." He Jinpeng replied.

When Xue Bu heard about Mu Qingshan, his expression froze slightly.Mu Qingshan is a very special place. Although the Lin family is not an orthodox spiritual cultivator, it does not belong to the Celestial Dynasty.But no state capital or sect dared to underestimate the Lin family.

He Jinpeng continued: "There should be another person with Lin Chaofu, but I can't find it."
"He was also killed?" Xue Bu looked at He Jinpeng and asked.

"It should be that someone attacked the two of them. Lin Chaofu was killed on the spot. That person must have been taken away." He Jinpeng replied.

Xue Bu's expression was serious. Lin Chaofu died in the Lin family town. What would the Lin family think about this?Although he was not afraid of the Lin family, he didn't want to provoke the Lin family either.

"The person with Lin Chaofu...could it be Zhan Qingyu?" Xue Bu asked.

"The Zhan family are also demon hunters, so it is possible to make friends with the Lin family."
"Could it be that the Lin family sent Lin Chaofu to help Zhan Qingyu?" Xue Bu asked in confusion.

He Jinpeng was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know the Lin family, but it is said that the Lin family rarely participates in affairs outside the Manghuang Demon Territory."
"But now Lin Chaofu did die at the foot of Qicang Mountain. Could it be that he came to Qicang Mountain for fun?"
"This matter is a bit weird." He Jinpeng didn't know how to analyze it, so he fell silent.In fact, he felt that there was someone in his heart who might know more.

Xue Bu looked at He Jinpeng, was silent for a while, and finally shouted to the outside: "Call me Xue Hengsheng?"
"Yes." The disciple who guarded the door agreed and went to call for someone.

Seeing that Xue Bu was finally going to pierce the window paper, He Jinpeng frowned a little.He felt that the suzerain made the right choice.

Not long after, Xue Hengsheng's tall body walked into the hall, bowed and saluted: "See the suzerain."
"Junior brother, you don't need to be too polite." Xue Bu's expression returned to calm.

"The suzerain asked me to come, what is your order?" Xue Hengsheng actually knew in his heart that it must be for Lin Chaofu's death.

Xue Bu paused and asked, "Lin Chaofu died in Linjia Town."
"Who is Lin Chaofu?" Xue Hengsheng pretended not to know.

"Lin Chaofu of the Lin family in Muqingshan." Xue Bu said.

Xue Hengsheng pretended to be surprised, and said, "Mu Qingshan's Lin family died in Lin's town? How is this possible?"
Xue Bu looked at Xue Hengsheng, the golden robe on his body trembled slightly, and his tone suddenly became cold: "It is said that Lin Chaofu came to help Zhan Qingyu, and Zhan Qingyu was found by you."
"Sect Master, why would I bring Zhan Qingyu here to disturb the sect?" Xue Hengsheng denied in shock.

Xue Bu looked at Xue Hengsheng, and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, Zhan Qingyu brought Lin Chaofu here, of course he will not tell Lin Chaofu anything. Before Lin Chaofu came here, it is impossible not to tell anyone. Therefore, What I said, I was told by someone himself."
Xue Hengsheng was startled, and bowed to salute: "Sect Master, I think there must be a misunderstanding on this matter."
"Junior brother, is it a misunderstanding? Do you think I don't know?" Xue Bu's tone was awe-inspiring, revealing a sense of supreme pressure and coercion.

Xue Hengsheng lowered his head, his heart was shaken, did the suzerain really have evidence.

He Jinpeng next to him knew very well in his heart that Master's words were all speculations, and he was just defrauding Xue Hengsheng.He had to admire the power of his master.

Xue Hengsheng raised his head suddenly and said: "Sect Master, I am indeed acquainted with the Zhan family brothers, but I really didn't know they would come to disturb the sect."
"Junior brother, this is the end of the matter, I hope you can properly resolve this matter." Xue Bu's tone was calm, but it was clearly an unquestionable order.

Xue Hengsheng's heart was in turmoil, he didn't know if the suzerain really wanted him to atone for his sins, or if he had some ulterior motive.But at this moment, no matter what the suzerain's intentions are, he has no choice, and he dare not refuse.

"Go." Xue Bu looked at the gate of the hall coldly.

"Yes, suzerain." Xue Hengsheng bowed his head and retreated.

In the hall, only He Jinpeng and Xue Bu were left.Xue Bu didn't let He Jinpeng go, so He Jinpeng didn't dare to leave.But he also felt that he had just heard something that he shouldn't have heard, and he was a little terrified.

After a while, Xue Bu looked at He Jinpeng, and said peacefully, "Before you came, I just received news that Xue Hengsheng was secretly supporting Brother Zhan."
