Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 124: Death of Zhutian
Qu Shitu and Zhaoshi Mingdeng waited for a long time, but the traveler from the sea of ​​clouds did not come back, and they gradually began to feel uneasy.

Qu Shitu and Zhaoshi Mingdeng waited for a long time, but the traveler from the sea of ​​clouds did not come back, and they gradually felt something was wrong.

Qin Jiaxian, who also attended the Langhua Banquet, came back in the costume of Rejian Qin. (Qin Jiaxian did not come back immediately after the banquet ended, but went to Yi Qiunian to ask about Su Huanzhen's life and death. After learning that Su Huanzhen was fine and needed time to recover, he pestered Yi Qiunian and learned a sword technique from him.)
Knowing from him that Yunhai Guoke was the first to leave, Qu Shitu immediately searched along the way with Zhaoshi Mingdeng. After some effort, they finally found the place where Yunhai Guoke and the Demon Queen had fought before. The scene was in a mess, with knife and stick marks everywhere, as well as fragments of Yunhai Guoke's clothes scattered on the scene.

These clues seemed to be telling the two that the passerby in the sea of ​​clouds might have met with an accident.

Based on previous intelligence, Qu Shitu analyzed that there were very few people in the current martial arts world who were capable of killing Yunhai Guke. Looking at the knife marks at the scene and the banquet details he had learned from Qin Jiaxian, it was not difficult to conclude that the black-clothed swordsman was the son of the Demon Queen, the master of the Demon Sword Realm. He was the murderer.

At this point, both of them understood that Zhutian must have made a deal with the Demon Queen, in which the Demon Queen ambush and kill the National Master to prevent him from stopping the peace talks. However, this was not done by Zhutian himself, so there was no direct evidence.

It's just to let the Dragon Lord provoke another powerful enemy and add strength to Zhu Tianping.

Maybe Zhutian had already thought of all these before making the plan. Now, no one can stop the peace talks.

At Hanyue River, one of the borders between China and the West, Tiance True Dragon and Zhutian reached a peace agreement, signed on the Peace Rock, and reached a treaty that both sides would coexist peacefully with their original land as the border. (In the original play, Zhutian wanted Tiance True Dragon to take a palm strike before he would give up, but now that Tiance True Dragon has received the help of Yunhai Passerby, the Demon Sword Sect has suffered a series of defeats, lost soldiers and generals, and almost lost its foundation. He is eager to sign a peace treaty as soon as possible and recuperate, so he will not make excessive demands.)
Just after the two sides signed the peace treaty, the martial arts world finally ushered in a rare six-month period of peace. However, the peace was broken when Zhu Tian was killed and his head was hung in an open court for public display.

Feng Zhihen went to the Central Plains and brought his friend's head back to the Demon Sword Sect.
Later, the people of the Demon Sword Sect welcomed back the Young Swordsman in Black to succeed the position of Zhutian and become the new Demon Emperor of the Demon Sword Sect. With the power of the Demon Sword World, he forced the people of the Tiance Dynasty to find out the real culprit, otherwise they would go to war.

Qu Shitu and Qin Jiaxian went to the Demon Sword Road together to investigate the details of Zhutian's murder.

In the end, everyone set their sights on Dugu Yihen, one of the two people that Zhu Tiansheng had said could kill him before his death.

And somewhere in the martial arts world, the army of demons appeared again and was investigated by Mai Shixi.

When Qin Jiaxian, together with his two younger brothers Yinshi Ren and Ye Tu Ling, were gathering intelligence together, they were surprised to see a ghost carriage waiting for them.

"Big brother, it's the ghost carriage." The corpse man spoke first.

Ye Tu Ling continued, "It looks like he is going to challenge us."

"What am I afraid of? The ghost carriage is my friend, and the owner of the carriage, Mr. Black and White, is a loyal follower of mine, Old Qin, and a good brother." Qin Jiaxian boasted.

"What is the purpose of the carriage stopping here?" the Shadow Corpse Man asked at the right time.

Qin Jiaxian said confidently: "Of course, stop here to pick us up." After saying that, she was about to get in the car.

Suddenly, a force of energy came out from the carriage and bounced Qin Jiaxian away.

The Yinshi man also tried to imitate Qin Jiaxian and board the ghost carriage, but was also blown dozens of feet away by a burst of energy.

Then, an amazing suction force emerged from the carriage, sucking Qin Jiaxian and the Yinshiren who were ejected to the front of the carriage. Qin Jiaxian said with resentment: "You damned black and white man, I didn't expect you to treat me like this after just a few years. Next time we meet, I will definitely make you fall off the carriage."

Suddenly, a burst of energy was heard coming from the carriage again, which sealed Qin Jiaxian's mute point and made him kneel on the ground with his legs. Then, the voice of the Black and White Man was heard.

"Qin Jiaxian, a small punishment, a big warning!"

"Woo woo woo woo!" The mute point was sealed, and Qin Jiaxian's proud speaking skills could not be used.

“I, Lord Black and White, came here today to tell you one thing only. Zhutian’s death was caused by the Lord of the Demon Sword Realm!” After explaining it and untying Qin Jiaxian’s restraints, the ghost carriage started again and drove towards the unknown distance. “Hahahaha, other people’s failure is my success!”

On the other side, Tiance Zhenlong, who returned to Tenglong Palace because of Zhutian's death and ended his incognito tour, met with the people of Demon Sword Dao. After learning from them that the suspect was the legendary swordsman in the demon world - Dugu Yihen, he arranged for his troops to personally investigate.

During this period of time, bad news came one after another. Pu Yu, who had helped Xiao Xiao to expel the star spirit, was killed, and his body was placed by Mai Shixi in the Buddha Bathing Pool of Fo Guang Sheng Yan, thus leading to the entry of Master Sha Zhou Yi Zi into the world.

Lonely Wolf was also asked by Qu Shitu to find the Mirror of the World to find out the cause of Zhu Tian's death, and was targeted by Dugu Yihen's good brother Steel-Winged Flying Ape. Fortunately, he was rescued by White-Robed Swordsman who arrived later and was saved from death, but he also needed to rest. Jiu Moshin took this opportunity to persuade him to retire from the world with her.

The investigation of Zhutian's death was left to Feng Zhihen and his disciple Bai Yi Jian Shao.

Yi Qiu Nian's followers, Luo Zishang was killed and his head was placed in his residence.

At this moment, Qin Jiaxian sent news. He learned from the owner of the ghost carriage that the person who killed Zhutian was the Demon Queen.

As soon as this information came out, it caused a huge uproar. The attitudes of Tiance Zhenlong and others are not discussed for the time being.

The young swordsman in black went to the Demon Sword Realm to question the Demon Queen as soon as he got the news. After receiving the Demon Queen's denial, he took the Po Xun Sword and the Baixie Sword to find the owner of the Ghost Carriage to find out the truth.

The Demon Queen, together with the Demon Sword Sect members and the Tiance True Dragon, came to Hanyue River to surround Dugu Yihen.

Steel Winged Flying Monkey and Kawase Kenfu, two of Dugu Yihen's good friends, appeared as Ichigo. Sazhou Ichijishi also appeared and pointed out that the murderer was not this person.
But he didn't expect Dugu Yihen to admit in person that he was the murderer of Zhutian.

Seeing that he admitted it, Feng Zhihen showed up in anger. To avenge his best friend, the two of them started a magnificent sword duel on the Hanyue River, causing the river surface to surge with waves and the Milky Way to flow.

During the battle, Dugu Yihen's "Nine Decisions of Dugu" were fully displayed, with nine moves in one style, including retracting, turning, reversing, pulling, breaking, picking, deducting, swinging and sweeping, all done in one go and extremely sharp, but it was still no match for Feng Zhihen's "Demon Flow Sword·Feng Zhihen" swordsmanship.

In the end, Feng Zhihen defeated him with the "Wind Leaves Traces" move, and his body left with the lonely boat. (In fact, Feng Zhihen found out during the battle that Dugu Yihen's swordsmanship was not good enough to kill Zhutian, and he felt sorry for his swordsmanship, so he held back, allowing Dugu Yihen to fake his death and get rid of the shackles of his strategy.)
Just after Dugu Yihen's death, the Demon Sword Sect announced to everyone that it would merge with the Demon Sword Sect from now on, which meant that disputes in the martial arts world would arise again.

At the same time, the swordsman in black wanted to find the ghost carriage to find out what happened, but he didn't expect to see a mysterious car chasing the ghost carriage in the misty forest.
