A Tangled Mystery, Each With Hidden Motives!

Bai Ruyu's words at this moment.

This surprised everyone present.

They all immediately looked at Chen Ning.

Have you seen this person before?

Why haven't you mentioned this?

"What exactly is going on?"

Faced with public skepticism.

Chen Ning said calmly, "We did indeed meet with Situ Kong. He claimed that he saw a suspicious figure earlier, so he chased after him and ended up trapped in an illusion."

"How could a perpetrator possibly admit to being a perpetrator?"

Someone spoke up, "Of course we need to make up a reason."

"Etc!"

"Situ Kong is dead now!"

"In other words, he's not the perpetrator, so what he said is true!"

"Someone did indeed leave the team! They acted alone!"

The thought struck everyone as terrifying.

Wen Aotian calmly replied, "That's not the key issue. The key issue is that Bai Ruyu said you've seen him, so you're indeed the most likely ones to have made the move."

"None of us tried to kill him; he just walked away."

Zhao Xiuxiu said earnestly.

Bai Ruyu laughed and said, "Why did you let him go? If you were commoners, why would you believe his nonsense? At the very least, you should have made him come to all of us to prove himself! Unless one of you already knew he was a commoner, the one among you who let him go must be a villain!"

These words

This made everyone present suddenly realize the truth.

Yes.

Only a thug could know that Situ Kong was a commoner.

Then.

What other means could he use to delay his death?

"The God of Games once said that the thug possesses a special weapon; its specific effects are unknown, but it's highly likely it has the ability to delay death."

Bai Ruyu spoke calmly and casually.

Setting the pace for the entire venue.

With the instigation of others, everyone present was convinced that one of Chen Ning's four companions had killed Situ Kong.

"Speak! Who exactly advocated letting Situ Kong go?"

Someone pressed him for an answer.

Neither Qi Yu nor Zhao Xiuxiu would tell.

At this moment, Yao Li smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes looking at Chen Ning.

Chen Ning shook his head.

It seems this witch still can't be trusted, even though she saved me in the last round.

But given the chance, they will certainly wipe them out completely.

Take now, for example.

She was clearly about to expose herself.

But.

Before she could even speak...

Chen Ning said directly, "It was my decision to let him go. Well, you could say I let him go. I wanted to observe further to see if there would be any new trouble without Situ Kong."

Bai Ruyu nodded and said, "Since you've admitted it yourself, that makes things easier."

Then.

He looked at the crowd and said, "There is a sharp blade here that can kill this person without any loss. Even if we kill the wrong person, it won't matter. Of course, we can't possibly kill the wrong person."

"Bai Ruyu, what are your true intentions in accusing me of this?"

Chen Ning smiled calmly, his gaze fixed on the other person.

"What are my intentions? I only want everyone to win this game. All the clues point to you now, so we can't suspect anyone else."

"There's still one person we can suspect."

"Oh? Who is it?"

It's you.

Bai Ruyu's face darkened. "Me? What a joke! I saw you meeting with Situ Kong with my own eyes, and you've already admitted it. How could it be false?"

"That's true, but why did you see me? We should be going in opposite directions."

This sentence.

It was like a sudden awakening.

This startled everyone present.

Yes!

The four teams traveled to the four cities in the east, west, south, and north respectively.

How did we end up meeting?

How could he possibly see that?

There's only one possibility!

Bai Ruyu also left the group!

Everyone thought about it carefully.

Suddenly, it became clear.

The other three members of Bai Ruyu's team.

They all came from the Western Territory.

The Western Territory Unites.

It's understandable that we would cover for him.

"If I were the perpetrator, what good would it do them to cover for me? The perpetrator would only win alone; it would be a thankless task for them."

Bai Ruyu explained.

Chen Ning said calmly, "Not necessarily. What if you have some leverage over them, or what if there's some kind of illicit relationship between you that makes them feel obligated to die for you?"

This sentence.

This reignited the atmosphere in the room.

Yes!

Bai Ruyu is the number one person in the Western Territory.

His status and position made him arrogant and overbearing.

Bai Ruyu remained calm at this moment.

But a turmoil stirred within me.

He was right.

The other three in his team were all cultivators from the Western Territory, and all of them depended on him. Bai Ruyu's master, known as the Great God White Brows, was autocratic but very good at pleasing the Yutian True God.

He enjoyed the deep trust of the Yutian True God.

So.

The gods of the Western Territory dared not speak out against their anger.

After hearing Chen Ning's words, Wen Aotian also looked at Bai Ruyu.

The other party is indeed very suspicious.

And they've been relentlessly targeting Chen Ning and his group.

Bai Ruyu, who acted alone, is also a prime suspect.

Everyone was hesitant and unsure who was the problem.

Whom will this knife ultimately strike?

Above everyone's heads.

The voice of the God of Games rang out.

"The three sharp blades below will appear simultaneously in three locations. First come, first served!"

The words were finished.

A golden map appeared before everyone's eyes.

Those three locations were marked.

Wen Aotian said, "Since we can't determine which of them is the problem right now, why don't we go and get the other three blades first? We can make a judgment then. If anything new happens along the way, we'll have new clues."

"Reasonable!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They hesitated.

Moreover, Bai Ruyu and Chen Ning are both top-tier experts.

They will only be able to kill them if they join forces.

At this point, some people believed in Bai Ruyu, while others believed in Chen Ning.

The most important thing is to see which side Wen Aotian is on.

Without Wen Aotian, the number one person in the Eastern Territory, they lacked confidence.

This time.

We need to divide into three teams.

Bai Ruyu and Chen Ning were now the suspects.

Now.

Wen Aotian has absolute say.

Everyone believed him.

Wen Aotian said, "We'll split into three teams of five. Chen Ning and Bai Ruyu will stay where they are."

"Both are suspects, so this is indeed the best allocation."

Some people nodded in agreement.

Bai Ruyu's eyes turned cold, and she said calmly, "We are the prime suspects right now. The culprits will definitely not make a move this time and will instead point the finger at us. What is Wen Aotian's intention in deliberately leaving us here?"

"Yes."

Chen Ning smiled slightly, "Imagine if you manage to retrieve all three blades this time. Once you have all the blades, you will definitely kill me and Bai Ruyu in order. Assuming the game isn't over yet, you will then turn your attention to Bai Ruyu. And if the game still isn't over, what will you do? At that point, regardless of Wen Aotian is a villain or not, no one will be able to control him."

Upon hearing this...

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly.

Indeed.

Among them, the only ones who could pose a threat to Wen Aotian are Chen Ning and Bai Ruyu.

Of the two of them, at most one is the perpetrator.

Once Wen Aotian gains the upper hand...

These two major enemies have been eliminated.

That would be terrible!
