Chapter 95: The Black Pot Should Be Carried by a Stronger Person

  Although Kong Fang was very clear in his heart that Zhao Yong was not killed by those few people with the Golden Lineage talent, but was killed by him. However, Kong Fang also listened to Qing Fan's words and planned to stay within the sect for a while. After all, someone had gone to steal the young dragon from Qian Long Lake, and he had seen it with his own eyes, which must have been a major force at play.

  Moreover, Kong Fang has now accumulated enough contribution points and treasures to exchange for the Five Elements Mirror, so he doesn't want to leave the sect to do tasks unless it's a big deal, after all, doing tasks will also have some impact on his cultivation.

  "This period of time I will cultivate well, and at the same time can also exchange some treasures in my hand for contribution points in batches." Kong Fang made a direct decision in his heart.

  Kong Fang originally did the task in order to exchange for a five-element prism, and now that he has enough contribution points, he naturally doesn't want to go out again. In fact, Kong Fang's contribution points can be said to have exceeded many, it's just that some of the treasures Kong Fang couldn't take out to exchange for contribution points at the time.

  Then, Kong Fang began to focus on his cultivation. In his spare time, he would also use the materials he obtained to refine low-grade, post-heavenly spirit treasure-level weapons and armor.

  To know that apart from Zhao Yong and the other five Qi Zong disciples, there were others who died at Kong Fang's hands, all of whom had reached the level of entering the spiritual realm. Their storage rings naturally wouldn't only have treasures, but also the spiritual herbs and various materials they had obtained.

  Kong Fang refined the materials into weapons and armor, then mixed in some other treasures or spiritual herbs among these refined weapons and armor, slowly exchanging them batch by batch for contribution points.

  ……

  After Zhao Yong's death, the seemingly calm Qi Zong was actually in a state of high alert, with a sense of urgency like a storm brewing. This wasn't just because an inner disciple had died, but more importantly, during this time, the Dragon King had visited the Sect Master Gu Han, and both of these powerful cultivators who had reached the Tong Shen realm could see that someone was planning to deal with them. However, before dealing with either side, the hidden forces wanted to let them mutually slaughter each other first.

  They wait until they are evenly matched, or even both wounded, before their hidden opponent emerges.

  Although the two strong men knew that the person who made a move in Qianlong Lake had the golden line talent, this only made the two people suspect the Jinyang Sect thousands of miles away, and they still couldn't confirm that the Jinyang Sect was the black hand behind the scenes.

  This is actually a clever move by the Jinyang Sect, as they recruit the most people with the Golden Attribute talent. It can be said that strong individuals with the Golden Attribute talent generally come from the Jinyang Sect. However, it's precisely because of this that the person who stole the young dragon in Qianlong Lake doesn't seem to be sent by the Jinyang Sect, after all, no one would be foolish enough to deliberately expose their own identity.

  However, the Dragon King and Qi Zong's master Gu Han did not reduce their suspicion of Jin Yang Zong in the slightest. Both sides secretly sent many people to investigate this matter. Daring to take action against Qi Zong and Qian Long Hu at the same time, the Dragon King and Gu Han had already made up their minds to cut off this behind-the-scenes black hand, but before that, they must investigate some useful clues, otherwise, once they fell into the fourth party's trap, it would be a loss.

  Disciples returning from tasks outside will be reminded by the elders of each hall not to leave the sect again recently. Although these inner disciples are not strong now, their talents are not bad, and they are the hope for the sect's continued growth in the future, so naturally, they cannot be lost in vain.

  Just over a day and a half later, after all the inner disciples who went out to perform tasks returned, Elder He Baihu of Lingbao Hall and Elder Qianyu of Daozhen Hall were alarmed. This was because some of their inner disciples had not received any tasks from other sects, but they were also not in the sect.

  Normally, this wouldn't have caught the elder's attention. It was normal for someone not to receive a task and go out on their own, perhaps going out to wander around. But during this extremely sensitive period, the two elders had no choice but to be cautious.

  In Zhen Dao Hall and Ling Bao Hall, similar situations also occurred. Wu Qu, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall who had just died once, was shocked again.

  Finally, the three of them quietly left the temple together.

  In a place just over ten miles away from the Qizong, three elders stood in mid-air. The thousand-year-old elder of the Daozhen Hall and the hundred-year-old elder of the Lingbao Hall were carefully sensing the soul symbols of those who had not returned to the Qizong, trying to find them through the imprints left on their soul symbols.

  A moment later, the elder of Lingbao Hall, Huo Baifu, was the first to open his eyes, but his face was somewhat dark and black.

  "I actually can't sense their soul symbols." Huo Baifu said in a low voice.

  Wu Qu was shocked, "Apart from San Xing Mountain, there are no other possible ruins or secret chambers around the sect. Even the Sect Master can't find a way to enter San Xing Mountain. Your three disciples shouldn't be able to enter either. If you hadn't entered these strange and dangerous lands, you shouldn't have been unable to sense the direction of the Soul Symbol." Wu Qu was also puzzled.

  "There's another possibility." Elder Huo's voice was extremely cold, "A strong person has made a move, thoroughly destroying the soul symbols of those three people. The imprint within was destroyed, and I naturally couldn't sense it anymore."

  "I previously thought Zhao Yong's death was just an accident, but it seems that the Sect Master was right, someone is indeed targeting our sect and Qianlong Lake. First, the young dragon of Qianlong Lake was stolen, then my fellow disciples went missing one after another, and now even Zhao Yong under my command has been confirmed dead, and although his death could have happened anywhere, he just so happened to die at Qianlong Lake, which clearly shows that someone is intentionally stirring up trouble." Wu Qu's face also turned solemn.

  The Qi Clan has stood firm in this region of tens of thousands of miles for already twenty thousand years, and its ability to exist for so long is due to its powerful strength. Now someone has actually stretched out a black hand towards the Qi Clan, and as members of the Qi Clan, the Elders are also extremely angry.

  "I've sensed it." said Qian Yu, the elder of Dao Zhen Tang, suddenly opening her eyes.

  Wu Qu and Huo Bafu's eyes lit up at the same time, "Hurry up with the road." The two of them urged hastily.

  "Follow me." The three people standing in mid-air suddenly turned into three streams of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

  In the sky more than 20 miles away from where Pang Tong was born and died, Huo Bofu and Wu Qu two people coldly scanned around, looking for suspicious places. While Qian Yu closed his eyes and carefully sensed the specific location of the soul symbol.

  "In that direction, and within thirty miles." Qian Yu suddenly opened her eyes and pointed with one hand.

  "Go." The three quickly flew away once again.

  The three people's flying speed was extremely fast, but their eyesight was also exceptionally good. As soon as they flew to the sky above the mountain forest where Pang Tian Sheng died, the three of them simultaneously discovered something unusual.

  Moreover, the three of them also found signs of fierce fighting in another place just a few miles away.

  "I sense that the soul symbol of my disciple Pang Tiang Sheng is below us. Let's go down and take a look," said Qian Yu.

  "Good." Wu Qu and Huo Bafu both nodded.

  They shouted and the three of them soon fell into the mountains and forests.

  Qian Yu picked up Pang Tian Sheng's soul symbol from a dry and black blood stain, with cold light bursting in his eyes.

  "Another one's dead, how detestable." Qian Yu gritted her teeth and said.

  "Look over here." Hopper exclaimed in surprise.

  This patch of only two or three meters in size was covered with dry and black bloodstains everywhere, but on the edge of one of the bloodstains, Hofmann discovered some unusual places.

  Wu Qu and Qian Yu arrived in front of Huo Bai Fu, who was squatting on the ground. When Wu Qu and Qian Yu saw the twisted blood characters left on the ground, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they quickly squatted down to carefully identify the blood characters on the ground.

  The bloodstains were originally not very clear, and when some animals fought for food, their paws scratched back and forth, covering a lot of them with splattered blood. At this time, the three people could only see two and a half words, and they couldn't even see a complete word.

  "Although this character has a small part covered in blood, judging from the way it's written, it should be the character for 'gold'."

  Qian Yu and Wu Qu nodded in agreement with Huo Bao's words, "Indeed, it is the 'gold' character."

  "Look at this mark, there should be other words in front, but they were destroyed by animal claws and became unrecognizable. Moreover, a layer of fresh blood was covered on top, it's impossible to identify even if I want to." Qian Yu suddenly cursed loudly.

  "Don't worry about that for now, take a look at this one that was only written halfway, it looks like the character '阝', what is its connection to other characters?" Wu Qu said.

  "What's with the gold? What exactly is this last half character?" Qian Yu's silver teeth clenched, thinking quickly.

  Wu Qu and Huo Bafu were also thinking hard.

  Suddenly, three people's minds simultaneously appeared with a name - Jin Yangzong.

  "The first two characters of Jinyang Zong are written like this, is he trying to tell us that the person who killed him is from Jinyang Zong?"

  "It's definitely him, don't forget that the one who stole the young dragon from Qianlong Lake was someone with the Golden Heavenly Gift. My disciple, Pang Tiānshēng, has been traveling outside for a long time, he might know people from Jīnyáng Zōng. The clue he left behind with his life, definitely won't be wrong." Qiān Yù Hán said in a cold voice.

  "En, de qi." The other two also nodded in agreement.

  The three of them didn't suspect in the slightest that these words were written by someone else to confuse them, and with their own eyesight they could naturally tell that these words were written down by Pang Tian Sheng with his last bit of strength before he died.

  "It's really the Golden Sun Sect. If I don't destroy the Golden Sun Sect, I'll never be an elder again." Qian Yu gritted her teeth and said, Pang Tian Sheng was a very powerful inner disciple under her command, she had originally placed high hopes on him, but he ended up dying here.

  "Jin Yangzong was clever but ultimately deceived by his own cleverness. When he made his move at Qianlong Lake, he deliberately revealed his Golden Heavenly Gift to make them suspicious of each other and then left Zhao Yong's body in Qianlong Lake to make me and Qianlong Lake misunderstand each other and fight each other. Seeing that his plan didn't work, he then targeted the inner disciples of my sect, trying to constantly provoke a conflict between us and Qianlong Lake. What a good calculation." Wu Qu's voice also turned somewhat cold, after all, Zhao Yong under his command was the first person to be killed.

  Qian Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed it, picking up the ground with blood characters written on it, and put it into the storage ring.

  "Let's go and take a look over there." The three of them immediately flew towards the place where Yuan Wei and others had died.

  In the midst of his peaceful cultivation, Kong Fang had no idea that he would kill Zhao Yong and Pang Tian Sheng due to special circumstances, but unexpectedly, it was Jin Yang Zong who ended up taking the blame for him.

  Jin Yangzong indeed wanted Qianlong Lake and Qi Zong to fight each other, even if they both suffered losses, so that they could reap the benefits. However, he did not expect to be disrupted by Kong Fang's several interventions, let alone have the target directly pointed at them due to a coincidence. If the master of Jin Yangzong knew about this matter, who knows what he would think?

  But one thing is certain, that is, if Jin Yangzong knew about this matter, he would definitely be furious and crazy, and would not hesitate to tear Kong Fang alive.
