Chronicle Of Chaos

Chapter XLI

Lu Yi and Jin Jian rushed to the Jellyfish clan's lair together. The two of them teased each other along the way, gradually resolving the pain and grief from Cherry Blossom's death.

On the way to a tea stand, Lu Yi looked at the tea stand's bright front and suddenly felt extremely thirsty. She looked at Jin Jian and asked, "Little mutt, are you thirsty?"

Looking at Lu Yi's expression, Jin Jian smiled and said, "I think it's not bad."

Lu Yi pouted, then turned her head. "You're not pining for me at all."

"But I know you're thirsty. Let's go get some tea."

Lu Yi turned around and smiled. She ignored Jin Jian and grabbed the tea stand with a single step.

It was noon, and it was time for the various families of Zhong Hai to drink their tea. Although this teahouse was small, it was located in the most lively area. There were a lot of people drinking tea, and the waiters were quite busy.

Lu Yi waited for a long time, but no one came to make tea. She couldn't help but be infuriated. "Hey, there's no one who doesn't have one!"

Jin Jian, who was sitting across from her, was shocked by her. The waiter, who was running around the tea stand, was even more afraid that the boss would say that he was not working properly. He immediately ran over with a smile and asked, "Gongzi, what do you want?"

"Give me a pot of the best tea to quench my thirst."

The waiter agreed and went down to make some tea.

Jin Jian smiled and asked Lu Yi, "As expected, you have a temper, Eldest Miss."

Lu Yi smiled but didn't say anything.

After a while, the tea was served. Lu Yi asked, "What good refreshments do you have here?"

The waiter said, "The fish steak and rice served here is very famous."

Lu Yi said, "Then let's have two cups of fish chop rice."

The assistant said, "Ah, alright!" Then he went down to prepare.

Jin Jian poured a cup of tea each for Lu Yi and himself. As the two of them were drinking, they suddenly heard from one of the people sitting next to them, "Have you heard, recently something big happened in the Martial Dao. Amongst the clans of Zhong Hai, the well-known big clan, the Jellyfish clan's Patriarch, Ying Kong, was killed."

When Jin Jian and Lu Yi heard this, their hearts sank. Soon after, they felt that it was extremely strange as they thought to themselves, "Only the two of them know of Senior Ying's death. How did it spread to this remote tavern so quickly?"

The two of them glanced at one another, pricked up their ears, and listened intently.

Another person said, "That's right, it has already stirred up the entire Zhong Hai. That jellyfish clan leader, Ying Kongshao, was killed in the Ruins of the Pearl Clan with a flying knife from the murderer who destroyed the Ruins of Pearl Clan!"

At this moment, Lu Yi had already taken a sip of her tea. When she heard this, she spat out the tea in her mouth. She slammed the table and was about to stand up to ask that person to explain.

Jin Jian quickly pressed one of her hands down.

The person who spoke saw a lady in green clothes sitting on the table beside him. She suddenly slammed the table and stood up, glaring at him angrily.

The young man who was sitting next to the girl in a green robe walked towards her.

Jin Jian clasped his hands at that person and said, "My friend, please welcome me. I am Jin Jian, the disciple of King Jidao of the Extreme Arctic Icecap."

Upon hearing that it was the disciple of the clan head, both parties hurriedly greeted him with a smile. "Hello, hello. Greetings."

That person gave Jin Jian a seat and poured him a cup of tea.

Then he heard Jin Jian say: "I won't hide it from my friend, I was just walking with senior Ying not too long ago. Senior Ying is in his prime, and is skilled in martial arts, how could he be beheaded by anything, He Lan Wuque? Your Excellency must have misheard the rumors? "

That person looked at Jin Jian and said, "I have long heard of Young Master Ying Kong, as well as two disciples from the Ice Origin Clan and the Blood Tribe, investigating the Mayfly Race, but … When did you break up with Senior Ying? "

"About half a month ago."

The man sighed and said, "Hai, it's a good thing you broke up so early. Otherwise, you would have been affected by the innocent!"

Jin Jian said, "Could you explain it in detail?"

That person said, "I only heard that Senior Ying died around ten days ago, but the news spread so fast that it has already spread across the entire Zhong Hai. I heard that the various family heads and family heads received the obituary from the jellyfish clan leader, Ying Zhongxue. Three days later, invite the various family heads to attend Senior Ying's funeral."

Jin Jian said, "In that case, even the corpse has been found?"

That person said, "Of course, if we did not find the corpse, how would we be able to determine that it was He Lan Wuque's blade energy that killed Senior Ying?"

When Jin Jian thought back to the state of Yingkong's death, he clearly remembered that he was beaten to death by someone with an extremely thick palm force. It was absolutely not a severed head, and the corpse of senior Ying was personally buried by him and Lu Yi so how could it possibly appear again in the Jellyfish tribe's field of vision?

Thinking up to this point, Jin Jian could not help but ask, "Did you really only find out that Senior Ying died in the hands of He Lan Wuque by relying on her corpse?"

That person said, "That's right. I heard that He Lan Wuque was able to use the invisible energy of his blade. He was able to destroy everything in his path. All of the members of his clan suffered the same wounds back then when the Beaded Ruins were exterminated."

Jin Jian continued, "Then, who spread the news of Senior Ying's death?"

That person said, "This is naturally the news released by the Jellyfish clan. Even if others know about it, they wouldn't spread it all around."

Jin Yu nodded his head, and said: "But when I was parting with Senior Ying, I was at the border town that was thousands of miles away from the jellyfish clan, at that time there was no Jellyfish clan member present, I think even if Senior Ying encountered an accident, it would be impossible for the Jellyfish clan members to know about it so quickly."

That person said, "I'm not sure about that. It seems like the jellyfish clan happened to see it."

Jin Jian had already found the information he wanted, so he nodded, took his leave, and returned to his seat.

Lu Yi couldn't wait any longer and complained, "Nonsense! "You also saw that there were no injuries on Uncle Ying's body. He definitely did not die from some blade energy and his body was already buried by us. How could we possibly find it by just looking at his body? Nonsense!"

Jin Jian looked around and said, "Lower your voice."

Lu Yi also looked around and said in a low voice, "We have to think of a way to prevent them from slandering He Lan Wuque like this."

Jin Jian said, "The trouble is, where did we see him?"

Lu Yi frowned and asked, "Do you suspect him as well?"

Jin Jian said, "Of course not, Senior Ying is not injured, so it would definitely not be done by someone with a sharp sword skill like Saber Qi. With Senior Ying's injury on his abdomen, it is obvious that it was done by someone with extremely high inner strength."

Lu Yi said, "That's why I said it's slanderous!"

Jin Jian said, "But the problem is, how did this news spread to Zhong Hai?"

Lu Yi said, "Someone must be up to no good!"

Jin Jian said, "Although we can't allow others to slander Senior Helian Wuya, we have to plan for a course of action. At the very least, we have to find out the other party's motive for doing so."

Lu Yi said, "But how could we possibly think of their goal?"

Jin Jian said, "Have you forgotten why Senior Ying is calling us? "I need to think and analyze this from the beginning to the end."

Lu Yi said, "From beginning to end? Which is the head and which is the tail? "

Jin Jian said, "Why are you so stupid?"

Lu Yi pouted. "I was stupid to begin with!"

Jin Jian smiled and said, "Let's think about it. What kind of impact will they have on this matter?"

Lu Yi said, "Everyone will think that the culprit is Hailan. The real culprit will get away scot-free."

Jin Jian said, "It will also cause chaos in Zhong Hai. Moreover, the last battle before Hillan disappeared from Zhong Hai was between him and my master. If he reappeared in the martial arts world and killed the jellyfish clan leader, it would definitely have a huge impact on my master. Moreover, everyone's attention was focused on the matter of the jellyfish clan leader being killed, so the mayfly clan members weren't paying much more attention. "This way, the mayfly tribe will be even more fearless."

Lu Yi nodded her head and said, "Then what conclusion can you come to regarding this?"

Jin Jian said, "Let's take a look. Who would benefit from such an outcome?"

Lu Yi said, "Of course it's Uncle Ying's killer. Those mayflies are the biggest beneficiaries."

Jin Jian said, "That's right, so their ultimate goal can be said to be to make the mayfly tribe break out of their seal and use Senior Ying's death to drag Hillman and my master into this mess."

Lu Yi said, "It looks like the reason they killed Uncle Ying was to cause chaos in Zhong Hai."

Jin Jian said, "I don't think so."

Lu Yi said, "Why?"

Jin Jian said, "Senior Ying is the leader of the family, the risk of killing him is too high. The series of actions that they did after that were just a result of them using Senior Ying's death trap, and the many hidden spies that they had planted. "

Lu Yi said, "Then why did they kill Senior Ying?"

Jin Jian said, "It must be because Senior Ying's investigation revealed something that was enough to shock their core of the plan!"

Lu Yi said, "But Uncle Ying's plan has never been mentioned to anyone before! Not even the two of us. "

Jin Jian said, "But he sent a letter to the long hair of the various races."

Lu Yi said, "Could it be that you suspect the heads of various races?"

Jin Jian said, "During the transmission of letters, it is also very possible that there will be mistakes, and those who wish to take advantage of it. Furthermore, the leaders of the various clans, after receiving Senior Ying's letter, will inevitably make a series of arrangements in their own tribes to deal with the chaos that Senior Ying mentioned. This is to say, those who wish to do so will inevitably deduce Senior Ying's suspicions."

Lu Yi said, "You're right!"

Jin Jian said, "And we can use this point to deduce that what Senior Ying touched at that time was the key point for the mayfly race to break out of their seal. Because his letter made the Mayfly tribe know that they were in danger of being suppressed by all kinds of clans, they sent people to kill Senior Ying. "On the day of Senior Ying's death, when we went to investigate the Pearl Wasteland, we discovered that the Mayfly race's seal was still intact. It can be seen that it was not damaged after a long period of corrosion, but rather that someone was working with the Mayfly experts on the outside to break the seal and allow the mayfly race to return, and long before they came out, a portion of the Mayfly race had already begun their operation in Zhong Hai."

Lu Yi said, "But why didn't you notice their movements earlier?"

Jin Jian said, "Senior Ying told us that the mayflies are afraid of the strong light. I think that for many years, they must have hid in a secret location that not even the living creatures of Zhong Hai could find and reproduce themselves. Now that they have enough energy to help the sealed mayfly tribe break out of their seal, they decided to leave the mountain and start their operation. "Perhaps at that time, before it was sealed, the mayfly tribe left behind a split body, and after many years of division and reproduction, it became quite large, hmm …"

Lu Yi asked, "What's wrong?"

Jin Jian said, "That's not right. If this continues, we'll discover that this is no trivial matter!"

Lu Yi said, "Zhong Hai's situation has already turned into a mess. Is there anything else that isn't trivial?"

Jin Jian said, "Let's link the mayfly race's fear of the strong light with the fall of the coralline. The disappearance of the two light sources and the loss of the living resources of the different races in Zhong Hai can only benefit the mayfly race!"

Lu Yi was greatly shocked. "Could it be that it's been their scheme since then?"

Jin Jian said, "At least they are currently the most suspected suspects!"

Lu Yi said, "Right, as long as the two light sources are gone, Zhong Hai will become pitch black sooner or later. We won't be able to adapt to this darkness, but the darkness is extremely beneficial to them, and even if the various races of Zhong Hai join hands to fight against the mayfly tribe, they will still have a huge advantage."

Jin Jian said, "This means that when the mayfly tribe was sealed, something must have been left out. Furthermore, the person that was left out was a wise man who had great intelligence and could plot this series of plots."

"Aiya!" Lu Yi suddenly cried out, "Could it be the one Uncle Ying told me about, the Nine Level Parasite Dove Demon Sea's Great Wisdom?"

Jin Jian said, "At least he's the most suspicious one."

Lu Yi said, "Then what do we do now?"

Jin Jian said, "Right now in Zhong Hai, there are thousands of possibilities. All in all, there are only three things."

Lu Yi said, "Which three things?"

Jin Jian said, "First, if the light source disappears, the matter of the Hero of Ten Years will find the powerhouses of the two races looking for the light source again. Second, the mayfly tribe is about to break the seal and come out again. Third, Senior Ying has been killed, and He Lan Wuque has been wrongly accused, but the final battle with my master before he destroyed the Pearl clan and disappeared Zhong Hai, will definitely cause countless waves in Zhong Hai. "

Lu Yi said, "Do we have to solve all three of these issues?"

Jin Jian laughed and said, "Haha, of course we can't solve it. In conclusion, the origin of these three things is the mayfly race. And the thing that we are most concerned about and shouldn't do nothing about is Senior Ying's death and the hypocritical crimes committed by He Lan Wuque, so I think that if we want to interfere, we should start from the moment when He Lan Wuque is slandered as Senior Ying's murderer. "

"I suddenly want to think of something."

Jin Jian asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yi said, "Only a few people know about He Lan Wuque's re-emergence. How did that person think of the culprit? He already knew that He Lan Wuque was still alive, and it was during He Lan Wuque's second re-emergence that he discovered him."

Jin Jian said, "Haha."

Lu Yi said, "Have you gone crazy? Why are you laughing like this all of a sudden?"

"I didn't expect you to find the crux of the problem!"

Lu Yi said, "What's the key?"

Jin Jian said, "Even if the conspirator knows that He Lan Wuque isn't dead, and doesn't know when he will emerge from the underworld again, it's impossible for him to use him to stir up chaos in Zhong Hai." Jin Jian said, "Even if the conspirator knows that He Lan Wuque isn't dead, I don't know when he'll emerge from the underworld again, but the conspirator won't be able to use him to cause trouble in Zhong Hai.

Lu Yi came to a realization and said, "You're really smart!"

Jin Jian said, "It's you who are too stupid!"

Lu Yi pouted and said, "But where are we going to find He Lan Wuque?"

Jin Jian said, "Since He Lan Wuque was framed as the murderer of Senior Ying, he will definitely investigate this matter clearly. He will definitely disguise himself and rush to the Jellyfish clan. We will head towards the Jellyfish clan to see if we can meet him!"
