Chapter 494 Premeditated Attack

"This trip was not in vain. I think it was Chen Qingyun who did it."

Huo Lingming's eyes were heavy as he looked at Lingjian Island, feeling hostile towards the Chen family.

"We have been investigating the whole matter for three years and spent a lot of energy. Finally, after investigating one by one, only Liu Zhilan from Lingbaoshan, Ling Muwan from the Ling family, and Xue Chonggui from Wuyin Island have not visited."

"Among these three people, none has reached the late stage of Zifu yet, and they are not within the scope of our key investigation."

Huo Lingming speculated: "Chen Qingyun's cultivation at the peak of the Purple Mansion has already met the basic conditions for action."

"And the most suspicious thing."

"Oh? Where else is the most suspicious, please continue to tell me."

"The two spiritual beasts cultivated by Chen Qingyun were both of second-level bloodline three years ago. They just need the beast spirit pill to increase the strength of the spiritual beasts."

"Taoist Priest Hongri and Sun Zhongxiang also confirmed that Yan Sheng and Yan Xin once exchanged a bottle of Beast Spirit Pill from Li Ruyi of Yulan Mountain."

"Chen Qingyun must be jealous of the beast spirit pill, so he killed him."

"All these signs indicate that Chen Qingyun is the biggest suspect, no matter in terms of strength or motivation."

When Huo Xinglong heard this, he thought of various speculations, and combined with Huo Lingming's words, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could be more consistent with the identity of the murderer than Chen Qingyun.

"It seems that now we just need to hold on to Chen Qingyun and not let go. He will eventually reveal his flaws for us to catch!"

"good."

Huo Lingming nodded and suggested: "How about we try to capture Chen Qingyun, use the magic talisman to find out what happened, and find out the truth thoroughly."

"After investigating for so long, this matter should have a result. We can't delay our journey any longer. We still need to improve our strength to cope with the trip to the Immortal Mansion."

"And as long as Chen Qingyun used the Fire Sun Blazing Heart Sword, Xuanshui Gourd and other magic weapons when he took action, it would be solid evidence that he took action."

"His two third-level spiritual beasts will probably be released to deal with us. We must be prepared in advance to guard against being attacked by surprise."

Speaking of this, seeing Huo Xinglong's expression of deep thought, Huo Lingming continued, with murderous intent emerging on his face.

"Even if we don't use the God of Questioning Talisman, we can kill him if we want. We don't need to be afraid."

"A mere Chen family can cover the sky with one hand in the Xingsha Islands. But when it comes to our Xingluo Islands, it will be a dragon coiled up and a tiger lying down."

"The heritage of a Zifu family cannot be built up in just a few years or more than ten years."

"The Chen family is just like a toddler at the moment. It has not grown to the point where it can threaten our Huojiabao. What do we have to be afraid of?"

Huo Xinglong and the two have now become very suspicious of Chen Qingyun's motive for committing the crime.

In the world of immortality, not all battles leave evidence or clues pointing to the murderer.

When monks seek revenge, more often than not, as long as they feel that their guesses are correct and whoever matches the location and timing of the crime, they will directly take action. Big fists are the reason.

Would rather kill by mistake than let go, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the world of immortality.

Hearing that Huo Lingming had the same speculation and regarded Chen Qingyun as the biggest suspect, Huo Xinglong nodded and said: "You are right. The investigation has reached one step and there should indeed be a result."

"Now you and I both guess that it was Chen Qingyun who did it, so that's enough reason to take action against him."

"Just by taking action in this Spirit Sword Island, in the final analysis, I still can't figure out what the Chen family's background is."

"I was at Chen's house just now. I always felt that there was a crisis lurking around. It is still not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"You and I have seen the aura on Chen Qingyun's body before. This guy is definitely not a simple person. His strength is probably not much inferior to mine. We must not underestimate the enemy."

Huo Xinglong had been exposed to some astrological opportunities in his early years, knew some astrological techniques, and could sense crises.

Several times, he used astrology to avert danger.

"If you, the patriarch, feel that you should be wary, then this matter cannot be taken lightly."

Hearing this, Huo Lingming was glad that he had not acted impulsively and attacked the Chen family.

Thinking that the Chen family might be crouching tigers, hidden dragons, Huo Lingming couldn't help but ask: "There is an unknown crisis lurking in Lingjian Island. Fortunately, we just tolerated it and retreated in time without taking action there."

"What should we do next? Does the clan leader have any suggestions?"

Huo Xinglong thought for a while and took out a black and purple astrolabe from the storage bag.

"Try to avoid taking action in the Chen family, then look for opportunities to capture Chen Qingyun outside."

"According to the information we have investigated before, Chen Qingyun is often not practicing on Lingjian Island. He often goes to Qinglingfang and Lingbao Mountain. It is not difficult to wait and see."

"We still follow the old method. I used the astrolabe to record Chen Qingyun's aura. In the past few months, we have used the astrolabe to monitor his whereabouts. Once he leaves Lingjian Island, we will When it comes to action.”

Huo Lingming's expression changed when he saw the astrolabe.

"Okay, this is the only way that works best."

"However, depending on our strength, it may still be a bit difficult to capture Chen Qingyun. To be on the safe side, we will dispatch two elders from the clan to join forces."

"When the four Zifu monks join forces, I don't believe what kind of storm this Chen Qingyun can stir up. He will definitely be unable to escape."

"It's inappropriate for four people to join forces."

Huo Xinglong thought for a while and said, "We have to leave a Purple Mansion cultivator in the clan. We can only send one more person. The three of us will have a good chance of capturing Chen Qingyun."

As soon as Huo Xinglong finished speaking, Huo Lingming shook his head.

"The three of us will have a chance of winning against Chen Qingyun, but there is also Chen Xianming in the Chen family. This is a variable and we cannot afford to be careless."

"I suggest that we send Ling Yu and Xing Li to join forces for the time being and make a quick decision."

"I know that Chen Xianming is not easy to deal with, but there cannot be no Purple Mansion cultivators stationed in the family. We cannot take the risk of transferring all the Purple Mansion cultivators here and leaving the family empty."

Huo Xinglong said.

Huo Lingming frowned and thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "This won't work either, so we can only seek help from outside the family."

When thinking about the right person, Huo Lingming thought of a person and immediately proposed, "Daoyou Zhou's strength is higher than you and me. As long as we can ask him to take action, we will have an absolute advantage in this battle."

Daoyou Zhou mentioned by Huo Lingming is Zhou Zhiheng, a purple mansion cultivator from Wuyin Island, a good friend of Huo Shaoyuan, the founder of the Huo family, and the eldest disciple of Grandma Yujing.

Zhou Zhiheng's cultivation reached the peak of the purple mansion more than 60 years ago. He is a Jindan Dao seed from Wuyin Island. In terms of strength, he is weaker than Wu Zhenqiang.

But even so, with Zhou Zhiheng's strength, plus the blessing of various magic weapons, he can completely beat Huo Xinglong and Huo Lingming.
