From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"You're not stupid."

Qin Zhuyue chuckled lightly, then her face turned serious.

"That's right, there's also a prince behind the Fufeng Society."

"who!"

"have no idea."

"Don't try anything funny with me, or else..."

"I truly don't know. Even if you let the Heart-Eating Gu devour me completely, I still wouldn't know!"

Qin Zhuyue's face was gloomy, and she stared directly at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi frowned. Qin Zhuyue didn't seem to be lying, and since things had come to this point, there was no need for her to lie.

Yes, even ordinary righteous people in the martial arts world look down on organizations like the Fufeng Society, let alone the royal family.

Once people find out that this prince is supporting the Fufeng Society behind the scenes, not only will he be unable to compete for the throne, but he will also likely face impeachment from officials, and even his status as a prince will be affected.

Although the elders hold high positions, this is already the most core secret of the Fufeng Society, and they may not know it.

Within the entire Fufeng Association, probably only Fufengzi knows this.

Or is Fufengzi the prince?

Chen Shi pondered for a long time, then shook his head.

It has nothing to do with which prince is behind the Fufeng Society.

No matter which prince it was, they were all like the bright moon in the sky to him, beings he could not reach.

"I've said everything I needed to say, you can let me go now."

"When did I say I was going to let you leave?"

Chen Shi looked at Qin Zhuyue with a cold expression.

"If you intend to kill me, why bother with this?"

Qin Zhuyue snorted dismissively, showing no fear on her face.

"You gave me the Heart-Eating Gu just so you could make me do things for you. I'm more valuable to you alive than dead."

"As expected of an elder, he is indeed courageous and insightful."

Chen Shi chuckled lightly and continued.

"There's one more thing I want to ask you."

"explain."

"How to break away from the Fufeng Association."

"Break away?"

Qin Zhuyue looked Chen Shi up and down, then suddenly smiled.

"I was right, you really are a member of the Fufeng Society, Your Holiness."

Chen Shi remained calm and did not deny it.

Now that they've been exposed, what's the point of stubbornly denying it?

Besides, Qin Zhuyue has already taken the Heart-Eating Gu and is under his control. Even if she knows his identity, what can she do?

You haven't answered my question yet.

"You should know that members of the Fufeng Society are all secretive, so they always wear masks and hide their identities from each other. But when you join, you submit a secret file containing your true identity. So if you want to leave the Fufeng Society, you must destroy this secret file."

"Who has the confidential files?"

"Third Elder, all confidential documents are kept by you."

Who is the Third Elder?

Qin Zhuyue snorted lightly, a contemptuous smile on her face, and did not answer.

Since the members of the Fufeng Society were hiding their identities, how could Qin Zhuyue possibly know who the Third Elder was?

"I mean, where is the Third Elder? Or what are his distinguishing features?"

"have no idea."

Qin Zhuyue said it directly, and then explained.

"As the Third Elder who has access to everyone's confidential files, he must have a special identity. He is a confidant of Fu Fengzi, or even a close associate of that prince. He is always elusive and has no fixed location; he could appear anywhere. As for his identity characteristics, outsiders know absolutely nothing about him."

"After saying all that, there's no way to investigate further."

Chen Shi sighed, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

It wasn't that easy after all.

The only clue we have so far is the name of the Third Elder.

"How many elders does the Fufeng Association have in total, and in what order are they ranked?"

"I don't know the exact number, but I'm already eleventh in line."

"At least eleven? Is there any marker to determine the elders' order?"

"How is your Holy Son identified?"

"A token?"

Chen Shi nodded, understanding.

As an elder, one must also have a special identity token, which, like the Holy Son's token, would have a number on it.

"By the way, do you know that elder in Yongqiu City?"

"I've heard of him. He's ranked seventh. I suppose you're one of the Seventh Elder's subordinates."

Do you know his true identity?

"Oh."

Qin Chuyue chuckled and rolled her eyes at Chen Shi, letting him figure it out for himself.

Chen Shi had only asked casually, and Qin Zhuyue indeed didn't know.

"Alright, you can go now."

Having asked all the questions he needed to, Chen Shi paused for a moment, then waved his hand.

Qin Zhuyue picked up the mask, put it back on, and glanced at Chen Bi.

Currently, the Jing'an Marquis's forces are everywhere in Yongqiu Mountain. He is seriously injured, and it would be dangerous for him to act alone.

Shen Bi betrayed her, and although she hated Shen Bi to the core, now, whether she liked it or not, they were both Chen Shi's people.

Take care.

Shen Bi glanced at Chen Shi, said something, and left with Qin Zhuyue.

Chen Shi stood there until the two figures completely disappeared into the mountains before turning his gaze away.

Although there is a search party everywhere in Yongqiu Mountain, with their combined strength, they should have no problem leaving completely.

Chen Shi couldn't help but wonder how he could find that mysterious Third Elder.

After thinking for a while and still having no clue, he turned and left.

We can investigate the Fufeng Society matter later; the most important thing right now is to get rid of Feng Ji and Feng Lin.

An hour later, Chen Shi returned to the place where he had fought with the Chilong.

"This is!"

The body on the ground was gone; someone had come to collect it.

Chen Shi's eyes widened, and his face instantly darkened. Who was so idle as to come here to collect the corpse instead of searching for the thief?

Collecting the body is one thing, but the real problem is that they destroyed all traces of the place.

This makes it even more difficult for Chen Shi to accurately locate the bloodstains left by Feng Ji.

"Damn it!"

Unexpectedly, this unexpected turn of events occurred in less than two hours.

But frustration was useless. Chen Shi looked around, trying his best to recall the battle with the Chilong. After a moment, his gaze settled on several bloodstains.

These bloodstains were most likely left by Feng Ji.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Shi collected all the bloodstains.

Take out a few small pieces of incense sticks, stick them in the ground, and apply them to the scabs on the wounds. After casting the spell, three wisps of smoke point in one direction, and the other two point in another.

The three strands seemed to be pointing in the direction of Qin Zhuyue. Chen Shi felt a little uneasy and ran towards the direction of the two strands.

After chasing for nearly two hours, they finally saw Qin Zhuyue again.

"What? Is there something else?"

Qin Zhuyue frowned in confusion as she watched Chen Shi return.

"Couldn't you bleed less?!"

Chen Shi said this in frustration and left immediately.

Since those two bloodstains were Qin Zhuyue's, the remaining three must be Feng Ji's.

Chen Shi then continued his investigation using the remaining three bloodstains.

But he still couldn't catch up with him, even after the incense sticks on his body ran out and the scabs were used up.

"Hopefully, the distance isn't too far now."

Seeing the traces of many people passing through the grass, Chen Shi's expression turned serious, and he continued his pursuit by following the tracks on the ground.
