Chapter 259: No Name on the List Again
Chu Qing's words were shocking.

Lan Shuyi, who was secretly drinking tea, spat out all the tea with a "puff".

Fortunately, it wasn't directed at anyone...

Li Junmo, who was lying on the stone bed, was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he frowned and said:
"Third Master, where did you get this from?"

This is indeed a long story...

On the day Zhao Qipeng died, Wenrou also followed him to that room. Chu Qing later asked her and learned that there was no smell of anyone else in the room except the few people who were present at the time.

As for why he asked at the very beginning, it was because Chu Qing did not intend to pay attention to the trivial matters within Tai Heng Sect at that time.

Since I intended to use this matter as a shield, I naturally had to put in some effort.

This result also shows that this matter is indeed most likely an internal problem of Taihengmen.

The only possible surprise is that the other party really has the ability to erase all traces of itself, including its smell.

But this possibility is too low.

There are too few people in this world who can guard against gentleness.

Only Prince Blood didn't know whether she did it on purpose or it was an accident.

Apart from this possibility, there are only two possibilities.

Or, the person who killed Zhao Qipeng was among the people who appeared in Zhao Qipeng's room that night.

Or... Zhao Qipeng committed suicide.

However, judging from the condition of the corpse and the room, the conditions were not met to make it appear as if a suicide was homicide.

Therefore, Bai Tian Lan Shuyi was actually wrong. From the very beginning, the murderer's target was not the entire Tai Heng Sect.

Then he looked outside the Taiheng Gate, because Chu Qing didn't know why he chose to take action at this time...

With this premise, after reading about Zhao Qipeng's life today and seeing Li Junmo in seclusion, Chu Qing had the first suspect in his mind.

Guan Changying!
But the motive is unclear... He is the young leader with a promising future, why would he kill the elders of the sect for no reason?

However, there are very few people who can enter the Ten Thousand Swords Forest and tear off the two key pages in Zhao Qipeng's life.

Li Junmo suddenly went into seclusion at this moment. It was hard to say whether he had noticed something, but he didn't want Chu Qing and the others to find out, so he avoided seeing visitors.

Otherwise, something might have happened to Li Junmo.

As for the originally unclear motive, the story from twenty years ago was told piecemeal by people from Taihengmen.

Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi also speculated a possibility...

The murderer was seeking revenge for Qi Luo, and if this person was Qi Luo's son, Guan Changying's age would match.

It's just that Chu Qing didn't bring up these things directly at the time.

After all, Guan Changying's identity is too special... It is too bold to make such a speculation without real evidence.

If Chu Qing doesn't want to expose her gentle and natural scent, she has to produce solid evidence.

However, if Chu Qing found out that Li Junmo was not in retreat in Jingxin Cave tonight, he would probably go directly to Guan Changying to find out the truth.

Otherwise, he could use the gentle natural fragrance to smell the body to find Li Junmo's whereabouts and confirm whether he was alive or dead.

Fortunately, Li Junmo is still alive.

While he was still there, Chu Qing simply stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

But there are some things that cannot be said openly...

Chu Qing poured himself a cup of tea and said softly:
"Two pages of Zhao Qipeng's life have been torn off. Looking at the entire Taiheng Sect, there are probably only a few people who can quietly enter the Ten Thousand Swords Forest and accomplish this.

“The two missing pages correspond to the Tai Heng Sect Rebellion twenty years ago.

"Some people don't want us to know what Zhao Qipeng did at that time...

“But Sect Master Li, who could give us the answer, suddenly announced that he would go into seclusion.

"Master Li, do you think it is reasonable to be in seclusion when your eldest disciple Guan Changying is about to succeed the position of Young Master?"

Li Junmo remained silent.

Chu Qing looked at the cup of tea, but did not drink it. He put it back on the table:

“We can’t find out what exactly happened during the Tai Heng Gate Rebellion.

“Too few people know about it…but there is an overall framework.

“So we all think that the reason why that person killed Zhao Qipeng was to avenge Qi Luo.

"Then there are two possibilities.

“One was the one who helped Qi Luo ascend to the position of the head of the sect, and he is his loyal supporter.

"The other one is Qi Luo's possible offspring.

“Considering the impact of what happened back then, it is expected that those who supported Qi Luo, even if they were not all killed, were already kicked out of the core power group.

“He doesn’t have that kind of opportunity to enter the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.

“Moreover, it is impossible for Zhao Qipeng to be completely unprepared when facing such a person.

"Therefore, our main suspect is Qi Luo's possible offspring.

“Twenty years is too long. When a child grows up, who can tell what he looks like now?

“If he was accepted as a disciple by the head of Tai Heng Sect and raised since he was young, who would know his true identity and origin?
"Finally, although Zhao Qipeng is a good guy, he will not surrender himself to death.

"His martial arts skills are very high. Just like when Sect Leader Li faced this Monk Qiansun tonight, he was able to block his [Heart-Severing Soul-Severing Finger] in a split second.

"Zhao Qipeng may not be comparable to Sect Leader Li, but his martial arts skills must not be too bad. Otherwise, no matter how unprepared you are, you can't kill Zhao Qipeng so easily."

When Lan Shuyi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chu Qing with complicated eyes.

Then he said:

“So, the person who assassinates Zhao Qipeng needs to meet several requirements.

"Zhao Qipeng knows him well and trusts him. He is not too old, but his martial arts skills are very high.

“His status is also very high… He can enter and leave the Ten Thousand Swords Forest, or influence the Tai Heng Sect masters in the Ten Thousand Swords Forest.

“Moreover, Sect Leader Li took great care of him.

“Even if they knew he was the murderer, they would not expose him, but would help cover it up.

"These conditions, one or two, may not mean anything...

“But after listing all these things, it seems that there is only one person who corresponds to them.

"Master Li, what do you think?"

Li Junmo was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed:

“Third Young Master, you’re joking… I raised Changying, and I know his character.

“He wouldn’t do anything like that.

“As for what you mean by familiarity and trust… just like this monk Qiansun tonight, there is a skill in the martial arts world called the art of disguise.

“It’s not difficult to pretend to be someone else and kill someone.

“Although Wan Jian Lin is heavily guarded, it cannot stop a true master.

"If it was the Third Young Master, it would be easy for him to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Forest... Of course, I am not saying that the Third Young Master killed Zhao Qipeng.

“There is no such possibility if there is no grudge or hatred.

“As for… my sudden retreat is actually because I have gained some special insights into swordsmanship.

"What do you think of the trick I used tonight, Third Young Master?"

"At first glance, it's stunning...on second glance, it's just so-so."

Chu Qing looked at Li Junmo deeply and spoke slowly. "I wonder if the Third Young Master is interested in this? I am willing to give this [Sword Art] to the Third Young Master."

Li Junmo raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qing, with something indescribable in his eyes.

Chu Qing looked at him silently for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled:
"How do you mean by giving it away? This is my reward for helping Master Li kill the other two assassins from the Niejingtai."

Li Junmo was stunned:
"Are there really two more people? Well, then let's do as the Third Young Master says."

[Triggering Commission: No one on the list (Kill all the visitors on the evil list!)]

【Do you want to receive it? 】

Chu Qing didn't hesitate and chose to receive it directly.

The next moment, the task list appeared.

[Commission: No one is on the list! (Kill all the people on the evil list!)]

【Current stage: Three.】

[Current progress: zero.]

[Task Reward: Choose one of the optional martial arts treasure chests. ]

[Stage Reward: A random clue treasure chest. ]

[Rewards for all stages: a martial arts treasure chest of your choice. ]

[Currently available treasure chest: None.]

Seeing the words "Kill all visitors on the evil list", Chu Qing knew that it was indeed not just one person who came.

The reason why I felt this way before was, on the one hand, because of Li Junmo’s different identity.

Tie Lingyun of the Iron Blood Hall needed three masters on the Demon Slaying List to take action together... Li Junmo's martial arts was better than Tie Lingyun's, so how could he just send one person to kill him?

Of course, this is just speculation.

But if we don’t say this, how can we trigger the task?

After the mission is triggered, if there are no words like "Kill all those on the evil list", it means that the Nie Jingtai really sent someone.

After killing this man, the matter will be over. Why not get a treasure chest?
But now it seems that the harvest is still to come.

Chu Qing came to the front of Monk Qiansun. All the bones and muscles in his body were broken by Chu Qing's dragon claw hand. He fell to the ground completely. Apart from being able to move like a cricket twice, he could do nothing else.

He reached out and grabbed his head, lifting it up:
"There's no point in hiding it, right? You were captured by mistake, and your fate is already determined. Do you want to watch others complete this mission and get that huge wealth?
"Why? Right?

"Why can you only be a dead man, while they can enjoy the world with money?"

Lan Shuyi grinned.

I feel that these three young masters are definitely not as kind and righteous as they appear to be.

This guy is well aware of the evil nature of human beings, and he only talks about other people's pain.

Sure enough, Qiansun Layman wanted to be stubborn, but after hearing these words, the stubbornness in his eyes disappeared at once:
"You're right... Why?

"Can you kill them all?"

"It's not a big problem."

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"As long as you tell me everything about them, I can kill them all."

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

Qiansun Layman said:

“But you are wrong about one thing. Besides me, there are three other people who came to Taihengmen this time.

"There's someone I don't know who he is, with a weird temper, dressed in black, and doesn't respond to anything you say. He doesn't look like a good person, so you have to be careful.

"The remaining two are an adulterous couple..."

"The adulterer and the adulteress, tell me in detail."

Lan Shuyi spoke quickly.

Lay Buddhist Qiansun actually explained in detail:

"These two people are both well-known. One is the wife of Bai Yi, the Thousand Gold Knife. The other is the husband of Du Muqing, the Poison Lady.

"Bai Yi was traveling in Jianghu once, and was poisoned by someone. He was saved by the Poison Lady.

“After Bai Yi recovered from his illness, he naturally went to express his gratitude for saving his life, so he took his wife with him.

"I didn't expect that... I was so grateful that my wife was so grateful.

"Bai Yi's wife and Du Muqing's husband fell in love with each other. After they had sex several times, they liked each other more and more. On the contrary, they disliked their real partners more and more.

"He was so audacious that he even wanted to kill the person next to him to make room for him.

“As a result, the plot was exposed, and Bai Yi and Du Muqing teamed up to hunt him down.

“But these two people were lucky enough to survive, and they found a strange martial art. When they practiced together, their martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds.

“In the end, the two men killed the Thousand Gold Blade Bai Yi and wanted revenge…but they didn’t expect that the Thousand Gold Blade was called the Thousand Gold Blade not because it was expensive, but because Bai Yi kept his promises and had too many friends in the martial arts world.

“They killed Bai Yi, and Du Muqing didn’t mind exposing the family scandal.

"In the end, the two were hunted down by Bai Yi's friends. They had no way to go up to heaven or down to earth, so they joined the Nie Jingtai.

“Gradually, they were promoted to the Demon Slayer List.

"The martial arts of these two people are coordinated with each other, forming a yin-yang formation, which contains the magic of illusion. They are not easy to deal with. You need to be more cautious."

Chu Qing listened to it one by one, but didn't believe it all.

Then asked:

"Where are they now settled?"

"It's in the second-class courtyard of Chunlai Inn in Jiancheng... If you go over there and hear someone making a fuss in the middle of the night, that's it.

"That adulterer and adulteress, they do it day and night, it's really a disgrace to human society."

Lan Shuyi almost laughed. You are a Buddhist monk who has suffered so much, and you still say that others are disrespectful?

Is this true?

After listening to this, Chu Qing nodded and casually slapped Master Qiansun on the head.

Lan Shuyi's eyes twitched when he saw this. Although he knew that this man was bound to die, he did not expect that Chu Qing was so decisive and was no less decisive than himself, the executioner.

"Master Li, I will help you heal your wounds."

Chu Qing looked up at Li Junmo.

Li Junmo waved his hand:

"Since he failed to kill me on the spot, this [Heart-Severing Finger] can't take my life... Third Young Master, just go ahead."

"Okay, goodbye then."

Chu Qing waved to Li Junmo.

Li Junmo stopped him and handed him a booklet on the table:
"This is the [Sword Technique]. I hope you will accept it, Third Young Master."

Chu Qing was silent for a moment, took it in his arms, and then left the meditation cave with Lan Shuyi.

He unblocked the acupoints of the two people in front of the door and left the back mountain.

After his body settled, Lan Shuyi looked at Chu Qing's chest, where the [Sword Art] was located:
"You said, why don't you ask Li Junmo what the two pages that Zhao Qipeng lost in his life recorded?"

"It's meaningless. There's no need to investigate this matter... He has already made his decision."

Chu Qing looked back in the direction of the Jingxin Cave and said meaningfully:
"We are all outsiders."
