The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 434: The fisherman profits?

"You killed Qin Yu?"

In Dragon Head City, Bai Yu had just emerged from the Hidden Origin Bell when a figure descended from the sky—a handsome and dashing man.

"Second Brother, you're confused! How could it be me!"

The matter was so significant that Bai Yu had lost his usual composure.

Because this happened within his jurisdiction, and especially since he is Bai Yu's biggest competitor, he was the first person suspected!
"I'm not confused, I think you're the one who's confused!"

The valiant man said with a hint of exasperation, "This matter has already alarmed the headquarters of the Hidden Origin Society. They have directly dispatched a second-rank elder to personally lead a team to investigate. Master, Black Emperor, and Gray Elder have all come. You, you had better make sure that this matter has nothing to do with you."

"How could this have anything to do with me? I really don't know anything about it!"

Bai Yu is going to die unjustly.

"Hmph! How could it be unrelated? Qin Yu just reported to headquarters that you instructed your subordinates to embezzle funds and illegally trade the Five Elements of Humanity, and he was killed in the blink of an eye. You still dare to say it's unrelated? Alright, you must make sure to protect that guy, what was his name again, Wang Zhige, right? Don't let him die. If he dies, you won't be able to explain yourself. Don't do anything foolish again!"

The second senior brother said sternly. He had rushed over in a hurry just to tell him this.

If Qin Yu was indeed killed by Bai Yu, then killing another subordinate who took the blame would be just a convenient excuse.

Normally it would be fine, but now it has alarmed a second-rank elder. Is this a joke?

"Second Senior Brother, I really didn't intend to kill Wang Zhige!"

Bai Yu was almost in tears. Why can't you be logical and distinguish right from wrong?

"You know that! Among us fellow disciples, you're the most unreliable!"

Bai Yu's second senior brother came and went in a hurry, leaving Bai Yu standing there blankly. The next second, he rushed back to the place where Wang Wu was being held.

But seeing Wang Wu's dejected look, he thought, "Damn it, what's wrong with my brain?"
Why would I doubt this kid?

How could he possibly kill Qin Yu!

So Bai Yu turned and left, but he returned shortly afterward. He stared at Wang Wu for a while before taking out various talismans to seal Wang Wu's crown, his seven orifices, and his six senses and five perceptions. Only then did he feel at ease.

He didn't believe anyone could kill Wang Zhige under the protection of the Hidden Origin Bell, but he was really afraid that Wang Zhige would escape.

If he runs away, all the blame will be put on him.

Let's settle this matter fairly and justly. Qin Yu's death has nothing to do with me, nor with Wang Zhige.

This is the fact.

After a flurry of activity, Bai Yu went out again to meditate, regulate his breathing, and calm his mind. Finally, he calmed down and began to think about the matter from beginning to end. It was too strange and too mysterious.

Qin Yu was definitely not killed by him, and it's impossible. What a joke!

As for Wang Zhige, although his motives are great, can he actually kill him?
A fourth-level Earth Immortal whose bloodline is sealed by a blood curse can kill a third-level Taiyi Immortal.
Besides, what's the point?
She was, after all, his senior sister. Even if Wang Zhige tried to drag her into it, in the end, he would only be convicted of framing an official and would at most spend a thousand years in the Great Wilderness Prison.

Why would he want to kill Qin Yu?
So this matter might involve other forces, a classic case of the snipe and the clam fighting while someone else benefits.

Perhaps it wasn't to frame him, but to eliminate him from the crucial competition thirty years later.

But that's too ruthless.

In the past, no matter what, they always took advantage of the situation and acted indirectly. This time, they actually acted directly, which broke the rules and was too crude.

call!
Calm down, calm down!
Bai Yu waited in Dragon Head City, from dawn to sunset, and then from sunset to dawn again.

Then he finally met his seemingly tired master, Frost Lord.

"Master, I am incompetent and have caused you trouble again!"

Bai Yu knelt down with a thud, his heart pounding with fear.

"Get up. This has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about anything."

Frost Lord spoke softly, his words falling like heavenly music to White Feather's ears.

But Shuangjun remained silent for a long time before saying, "You have a good eye on Wang Zhige. Once this matter is settled, according to the rules of the Yinyuan Society, throw him into the Great Wilderness Prison of Sin for five hundred years. He illegally traded the five elements of the human world. This is a factual crime, and no one can protect him."

“Well, but Master, he—” Bai Yu wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by Shuang Jun’s gaze.

"The one who killed Qin Yu was a True Immortal whose strength should be at the fifth level of Taiyi. Moreover, this was not a spur-of-the-moment attack, but a premeditated one. The other party had been lying in ambush near Dragon Tail City for a long time and had broken through one of the magic arrays and was hiding inside."

"His methods were sophisticated, his planning precise and perfect, and his actions swift. From the start of the attack to the killing of Qin Yu, it wouldn't have taken more than ten minutes, to the point that Qin Yu didn't even have a wisp of his divine sense escape. This was at least half a month of planning, and he had already prepared to kill Qin Yu, or perhaps you, a year in advance." "Kill me?"

Bai Yu was startled.

"Yes, the other party has been planning this for at least a year, because they decided on that matter a year ago: Elder Hui and I will compete for the last spot of a second-grade elder."

"So, at that time, the other side had already decided that whoever they encountered, whether it was you or Qin Yu, they would kill them, using this method to ignite the conflict between me and Old Grey. Sigh, some people are just too impatient!"

"That's fine. Tomorrow, an elder from headquarters might come down to investigate this matter. Just report it truthfully."

"Here!"

After Shuangjun finished speaking, she left. She had come to give her disciple a heads-up so that he wouldn't panic. Qin Yu's death had too many implications, even alarming the first-rank elders above, who insisted on getting to the bottom of it. It seemed that the higher-ups were also very dissatisfied with the increasingly severe internal strife within the Yinyuan Society. This was a warning shot.

But in any case, both she and Gray Old Man are losers this time.

They lost, and their disciples lost too.

One lost his life, and the other will likely be dismissed from his post soon.

After Shuangjun left, Baiyu was also shocked. The matter was so complicated.
Was this murder not a spur-of-the-moment act?

He had actually broken through a magic array in Dragon Tail City, and he had even been to Dragon Tail City ten years ago. Just thinking about this made Bai Yu feel a chill down his spine, because he knew he couldn't beat Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was forcibly killed in less than ten days, not even a wisp of his divine sense could escape, let alone him.

When did the Hidden Origin Society become so dangerous?

All he wants now is to resign and go into seclusion to be a drunkard.

-

Dragon Tail City, Frost Lord left and then returned.

This place has been designated as a key area for investigation, especially the broken formation. A professional formation master has come to assess it, which is why we have had a moment of leisure.

In reality, figures like Frost Lord, Black Emperor, and even Gray Elder have all made their own judgments. The problem now is not how the other party killed Qin Yu, but how to balance the interests of all parties and prevent the other party from profiting. This is the common goal of Frost Lord and Gray Elder at this moment.

Because of the huge commotion this time, they both got into trouble. It's clear that the last spot for a second-rank elder is out of their reach. And that's the best-case scenario. If the higher-ups really want to use them as examples to show zero tolerance for internal strife and make an example of them, that would be truly disastrous.

"Old Gray, I remember you did a divination for Qin Yu ninety years ago. What was the result? Can you tell me now?"

Shuangjun found Hui Lao and said directly that the two of them must reach a consensus before the arrival of the Second-Rank Elder. They really thought that the Second-Rank Elder would personally investigate the case. After the elder arrived, there must be a reasonable explanation for the case.

Gray Old Man was in poor condition, looking much older. His cloudy old eyes stared at Frost Lord, then at Black Emperor, who was expressionless but actually quite curious.

The three of them were all vying for the spot to advance to the second-grade elder, so they had engaged in countless covert battles and competitions. But never before had they acted so brutally. This completely broke the tacit understanding that they had always fought without breaking apart, and it was a bad start.

“Okay, that time, I predicted that Qin Yu would be forcibly killed by Wang Zhige in front of everyone three hundred years later, and at that time, he was your disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Frost Lord was not surprised, but Black Emperor became even more curious and couldn't help but speak up.

"Three hundred years, good heavens! Ninety years ago, Wang Zhige was only at the third level of Earth Immortal, right? How did he manage to kill a third-level Taiyi True Immortal in three hundred years, even while bound by a blood curse?"

"In my deduction, he was not bound by the blood curse. At that time, his blood and qi were so vigorous and his demon core so powerful that it was no less than Xiong Wangshou! Although Qin Yu was a Taiyi third-level cultivator, he was still brutally killed by him. The scene was so tragic that it was indescribable. After killing Qin Yu, Wang Zhige fled into the wilderness and never returned. He did not appear again until five hundred years later."

"That's why I took Wang Zhige as my disciple before you did. First, to prevent Qin Yu from dying tragically, and second, to prevent you from losing a great general. Of course, I genuinely wanted to train him, but I was afraid that taking him away from Longshou City would attract the Mangshan Ancient Bear. So I had him stay in Longshou City in seclusion. I repeatedly told him to keep a low profile."

"As you all guessed, last time, Wang Zhige became a disciple of Shuangjun for three hundred years without alarming the Mangshan Ancient Bear. But this time, your good disciple Bai Yu actually managed to find the high priest of the Mangshan Ancient Bear clan and cast a blood curse on him!"

"I am consumed by rage, but there is nothing I can do! Wang Zhige, who has been cursed with blood, is almost crippled. He can never reach his former heights again."

"But who would have thought that if I hadn't interfered, Qin Yu would have lived for another three hundred years, but because of my interference, he only lived for another ninety years."

Hearing this, the Black Emperor couldn't help but ask again, "Do you think it was Wang Zhige who killed Qin Yu this time?"

Gray Old Man sneered, "I'd love for him to kill him. That way, at least I won't lose anything. I'll use all my connections to protect him. So Black Emperor, please find me some evidence that Wang Zhige is the murderer, even if it's just a little bit!"

Black Emperor chuckled awkwardly, "Old Gray, don't get angry. I was just saying. The array that was broken in Dragon Tail City was deployed too perfectly. This couldn't have been done in a short time. The array master just said that it couldn't have been deployed without three thousand years of expertise in arrays. In addition, the understanding of the Wind Spirit Pill in this array is simply amazing."

"But Wang Zhige doesn't have any Wind Spirit Pills."

Old Gray was too lazy to speak; did he not know these things?
Therefore, it couldn't have been Wang Zhige who killed her. Qin Yu had only clashed with him a day ago. Even though Wang Zhige was being neglected by him, if he really felt wronged, he could have come directly to him. Although he was rather harsh and indifferent, he wouldn't have allowed Qin Yu to go too far.

Wang Zhige didn't even try to find him; he just knelt outside Longshou City for a day and a night.
