Chapter 444 Death of Jin Yue, improvement in retreat(2/4)
All this is because of her.
In recent days, Pei Shuyuan was greatly shocked when she heard the news about the defeat in Beast King Valley and the collapse of the mountain gate.
The last bit of faith was shattered, and all thoughts were lost.
"A woman who has lost her true nature will never regain her former glory..."
Lu Changan's mood waned and he looked away.
It is difficult to associate Pei Shuyuan, who is aging rapidly, with the proud and luxurious Peacock Saint back then.
"What is your husband going to do with her?"
Xia Wenyue seemed to realize that Lu Changan had lost interest in Pei Shuyuan.
Lu Changan said casually: "This woman is not a threat, but she doesn't have much value anymore. Wen Yue can stay with her and continue to be a slave, or she can be sold to Yin Yuanhai before she is old..."
Xia Wenyue hummed lightly and said nothing more.
That night.
Lu Changan and Xia Wenyue stayed in a cave in the important town to reorganize themselves overnight.
The hidden injury on Xia Xianzi's leg required Lu Changan's Changqing Gong to recover and restore her flawless snow-skinned skin.
…
Early next morning.
Lu Changan, Xia Wenyue, and Di Yanjun set off together, preparing to return to the helm of the Wei Dao Alliance and participate in the distribution of benefits after the war.
On the way, Xia Wenyue suddenly took out a jade pendant for urgent communication. After checking it, her pretty face turned pale.
"what happened?"
Lu Changan also took out the messenger jade pendant of the elder of the Wei Dao Alliance, with spiritual patterns flashing on it.
This is an emergency message from the Wei Dao Alliance, used for long-distance communication with the top leaders of the True Lord within the alliance.
Due to the long distance, only simple messages can be conveyed.
"A True Lord Nascent Soul of the Weidao League was in trouble?"
Lu Changan was still calm, he reasoned secretly, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
"Go back and understand the situation first."
The three of them, Lu Changan, accelerated their escape and returned to the helmsman of the Wei Dao Alliance in the rear of the war.
The huge mountain city where the general rudder is located comes into view.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Wei Dao League, headed by Chu Tianfeng, were hovering in the sky, all of them with heavy expressions and a depressing atmosphere.
Seeing the arrival of Lu Changan and the others, some of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Wei Dao League looked on guard.
"Lu Zhenjun! Why did you kill fellow Taoist Jin Yue?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in gold robes shrouded in blazing flames, with broad shoulders and a broad body. His red-gold eyes conveyed scorching heat, and he stared at Lu Changan coldly and vigilantly.
"Fellow Taoist Liuyang, what do you mean by this? Could it be that the True Lord mentioned in the summons as being in trouble was Taoist Jinyue from Aoyue Palace?"
Lu Changan frowned slightly, confused, and looked at the few True Lords of the Wei Dao League whose atmosphere was stagnant.
Chu Tian Bao Lu was deep in thought and fell into silence.
The disciple next to him, Yin Yuanhai, took the initiative and said:
"Lu Zhenjun, you attacked and killed fellow Taoist Jin Yue in public, many people saw it!"
"The Demonic War has been won, why did Lu Zhenjun do this?"
Next to True Monarch Liuyang, a man in red robe asked in a bad tone. This man was another early Yuanying monk from Jinyang Sect.
"Lu did not kill fellow Taoist Jin Yue."
Lu Changan was not angry and said extremely calmly.
"Ben Zhenjun just left the secluded town today. Wen Yue and many people in the city can testify."
Several True Lords on the mountain city looked at each other in confusion. The two Nascent Souls of Jinyang Sect and Yin Yuanhai were half convinced.
After all, many people saw Lu Changan take action.
Moreover, Lu Changan had a motive to do something. He had a bad relationship with Jin Yue Zhenjun in the past and had different ideas.
Zhang Tianfeng shook his head and did not agree:
"Lu Zhenjun turned the tide in the demonic war, so he would not kill fellow Taoist Jin Yue. If he wanted to kill him, fellow Daoist Jin Yue was seriously injured during the war. Lu Zhenjun had many opportunities, so there is no need to delay it until now."
Chu Tianfeng nodded and said: "Chu also believes that Lu Zhenjun will not attack in public, and the murderer may be someone else."
He looked at Lu Changan, paused and said:
"It's just that many monks at the scene saw Fellow Daoist Lu taking action, including two fellow Daoists from the Jinyang Sect. It's best to have an explanation and a reasonable explanation for this matter."
Lu Changan flew to the mountain city to learn the details of Jin Yue's murder:
"When was Taoist Jin Yue killed and where are his bones?"
Hearing this, Yin Yuanhai, who was on top of the city tower, took out a copper-wood coffin.
"Master..."
As the coffin lid opened, Xia Wenyue exclaimed, her face turned pale, showing a look of unbearable.
Inside the coffin lay the corpse of a beauty in a gold dress. The originally beautiful face and head had a cold hole in it, making it look unrecognizable. "Judging from the wound, it is a nail-type magic weapon."
Lu Changan held Xia Xianzi's cold little hand, and the latter's frightened mood slowly calmed down.
He asked the two True Lords of Jinyang Sect again. When they rushed to the scene, they only saw the figure of another Lu Changan in white.
Liuyang Zhenjun added: "The two of us quickly scanned it with our spiritual consciousness and determined that it was the appearance and aura of Zhenjun Lu."
"Judging from the time, Fellow Daoist Jin Yue encountered a vicious attack on his way to the Weidao Alliance. Since he was a familiar fellow Daoist from the alliance, Fellow Daoist Jin Yue lacked vigilance..."
Lu Changan's tone was calm and he analyzed:
"At that time, Lu, Wen Yue and Di Yanjun were also on their way."
The three great Nascent Souls were on their way without any cover-up. There was a lot of movement and there were indispensable witnesses on the way.
Later, several True Lords present in the Wei Dao League based their reasoning on the time of the crime and initially ruled out Lu Changan as a suspect.
The Wei Dao Alliance sent people to investigate, and some monks, including Wuyadian, had seen traces of Lu Changan and the others during that time.
"Master of Wujian Sect."
After a long time, Lu Changan slowly spit out a name.
Chu Tianfeng agreed: "Chu also suspected him. He was able to deceive the Nascent Soul monk with falsehoods and kill him with one blow. Looking at the six demon sects, only the master of the Wujian Sect can do it."
Killing the veteran Nascent Soul with one strike would be difficult for other demon sect leaders to do.
Only a surprise close-quarters assassination is possible.
True Lord Liuyang frowned and said, "Why did Master Wujian choose to fight against fellow Taoist Jin Yue?"
Lu Changan pondered: "Perhaps fellow Taoist Jin Yue's injury has not healed, and his ability to protect himself is poor. He is alone and has no one to take care of him."
Hearing this, all the True Lords present had different expressions, recounted their previous whereabouts, and analyzed the intentions of the leader of the Wujian Sect.
The leader of Wujian Sect must have received urgent help from Beast King Valley and came after the war.
If the human-faced dragon wants to destroy the Valley of the Beast King, the leaders of the Demon Sect such as the Mingquan Sect and the Master of the Wujian Sect will not stand idly by.
But afterwards, the human-faced dragon and the four kings of birds quickly retreated to the Black Mist Mountains.
The master of Wujie Sect has come here all the time, so he can't go empty-handed.
Simply kill a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wei Dao Alliance to relieve some pressure on the Beast King Valley.
Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.
When attacking in the enemy's territory, you must ensure the success rate and kill with one strike before you can retreat unscathed.
If the target is Lu Changan, Zhang Tieshan, and the leader of Wujian Sect, it will be difficult for them to succeed. Once they are entangled, they will be in danger.
Even if we take action against Liang Shaotian and True Lord Liuyang, the risk will be much higher.
Suitable targets include Xia Xianzi, Yin Yuanhai, Jin Yue Zhenjun, and another Jinyang Zong Zhenjun.
Under Lu Changan's careful care, Fairy Xia never left alone.
Yin Yuanhai, under the care of the leader of the Chu Alliance, moved between the main rudder and the mountain gate of Wuya Palace.
The two True Lords of Jinyang Sect also acted together.
Therefore, it was Jin Yue Zhenjun who was killed in the end.
…
After clearing up the suspicion, Chu Tianfeng welcomed Lu Changan and the others into Zongduo Mountain City.
"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be suspicious or wary. Although the disguise effect of Master Wujian's 'faceless' treasure can be mistaken for real, familiar Nascent Soul cultivators can still tell the difference if they observe carefully. I will wait for you to meet them outside in the future, so as to
To be continued...
