"Senior Brother!"

A crisp voice came.

Qi Yuan put on his clothes and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

He yawned, glanced at the black fish in the fish tank, and walked out of the courtyard.

"What's the matter, so early in the morning?"

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Lingsu and Jiang Ran stood side by side, one innocent and lovely, the other beautiful and refined.

Qi Yuan felt a burst of comfort.

Indeed, beautiful things always make one feel happy.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, I have good news to share with you!" Jiang Ran's pretty face was full of smiles, "Yesterday, the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect were staying overnight in Rong City, and they were all killed by a mysterious expert!

Chu Tianxiong is dead, and the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor is also dead!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran's face was full of joy.

Qi Yuan slapped his thigh: "I didn't expect my divination skills to be so powerful!"

However, thinking of something, he changed his words and said: "I said I am good at divination, and I could tell at a glance that that kid had a Sign of Bloody Calamity.

See, he didn't listen to me, he's dead, serves him right!"

Seeing this, Jiang Lingsu smiled helplessly: "I really don't know which expert did such a gratifying thing!"

"I heard that today, a Core Formation elder of the Black Mountain Sect who happened to be nearby has arrived to investigate the scene.

And last night, our Shinguang Sect also had elders go to Rong City.

Although the scene was burned by fire, a lot of clues have been obtained."

Qi Yuan's heart tightened slightly when he heard this: "What clues?"

"The one who slaughtered the Black Mountain Sect disciples was a Masked Man.

The elders said that the mysterious Masked Man should be a sword cultivator, but in order to avoid exposing traces of his Dao techniques, he deliberately switched to a Cleaver to slaughter the Black Mountain Sect disciples." Jiang Lingsu always paid attention to the news in the Shinguang Sect and knew a lot.

"What Cleaver?"

"I don't know." Jiang Lingsu shook her head.

"Could it be a Cleaver?" Qi Yuan took out a knife and waved it.

Jiang Lingsu covered her mouth and chuckled: "How is that possible!"

Jiang Ran's innocent face also smiled, naturally revealing a hint of charm in her smile: "If they were hacked to death by a Cleaver, that would be aggrieved and relieving!"

Jiang Lingsu also added: "It is rumored that the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor was shattered his Protective Core Light and Golden Core with one strike.

It can be seen that the Cleaver must also be a powerful magic weapon, how can it be compared to a Cleaver?"

Qi Yuan immediately refused to accept: "All things are equal, how can you look down on my Cleaver!

My Cleaver can also chop off that guy's dog head with one strike!"

Jiang Ran smiled faintly, without saying a word.

Jiang Lingsu, however, started arguing with Qi Yuan: "All things are equal, how can Eldest Brother insult dogs?"

Qi Yuan didn't continue on that topic. Holding the cleaver, he said with concern, "I have a cleaver, and a Black Mountain Sect disciple died by it. Do you think the Black Mountain Sect will suspect that I killed Chu Tianxiong?"

Jiang Ran was stunned, wanting to laugh, but despite not having professional training, she managed to hold it in.

Jiang Lingsu smiled lightly: "Eldest Brother, you're overthinking it.

You should focus on achieving Foundation Establishment first!"

"Don't mention 'base' without 'civilization', let's be civilized!"

"???"

"???"

Jiang Ran and Jiang Lingsu couldn't keep up with Qi Yuan's train of thought at all.

Qi Yuan looked worried: "Yesterday, I kindly reminded Chu Tianxiong, but to outsiders, it seemed like I had a dispute with him. Do you think people will think that I argued with Chu Tianxiong, held a grudge, and ran over at night to kill them all!"

Jiang Ran and Jiang Lingsu were completely speechless.

"Eldest Brother, don't worry, no one will suspect you!"

"Then if anyone asks, you have to vouch for me, saying that I didn't go out last night and stayed on Seven Colors Peak, drinking and playing guessing games with you two!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Jiang Lingsu supported her forehead.

The corners of Jiang Ran's mouth also held a smile.

Clearly, Chu Tianxiong's death had improved her mood a lot, and the gloom on her face had temporarily disappeared.

Qi Yuan lowered his head, still looking a little scared: "What if the Black Mountain Sect doesn't believe your statements and forcibly arrests me? Will the Shinguang Sect protect me?"

Jiang Lingsu was completely speechless: "Eldest Brother, I don't think you should be worried about yourself right now. You should be worried about that Masked Man, just like us.

After all, he's facing the Black Mountain Sect, after all, he's facing the Black Chicken Old Demon!"

After a brief exchange, Jiang Lingsu and Jiang Ran left.

Jiang Lingsu's face still carried a helpless expression: "My Eldest Brother, he's a good person, but his personality, well, you've seen it, a fool, eccentric."

Jiang Ran revealed a sweet smile: "Actually, Senior Brother Qi Yuan is quite interesting like this."

"Ah, it's indeed quite interesting, and he doesn't have to have so many worries, carefree." Jiang Lingsu thought of something and couldn't help but sigh. There was a huge stone in her heart that she couldn't let go of.

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan is carefree?"

Qi Yuan was alone in the room, pacing back and forth.

His face was filled with a strong look of worry.

"I was careless last night!"

"Just wearing a mask isn't perfect, I should have cross-dressed, that way my gender wouldn't be exposed!"

"Oh dear, they know the murderer used a knife, what if they connect it to me?"

"The Black Mountain Sect won't come looking for trouble with me, will they!"

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more worried and frightened he became, and the more annoyed he felt.

Although, what he did was already almost flawless.

But what if, the Black Mountain Sect had a hidden Innate Saint who calculated that he was the one who did it?

He had already imagined the elders of the Black Mountain Sect coming to the Shinguang Sect, with their forces at the foot of the peak.

He was alone, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, his face turning red and his neck thick.

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, fragrant grass reaches the sky."

"The Black Mountain Sect really has no shame!"

"Wasn't I just eliminating some evil on behalf of the moon?"

"And they unite to bully a 229-month-old child like me?"

"Is there no law, is there no justice!"

"Bullying people too much!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man for being poor!"

"No, I have to take revenge!"

Qi Yuan sharpened his knife, he found a hat in the house and covered his head to avoid being seen.

After thinking about it, he also smeared some pot ash on his face.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Qi Yuan felt a little more secure.

He tucked the cleaver into his waist and sneaked away from Seven Colors Peak.

Not long after, Jiang Lingsu arrived outside Qi Yuan's courtyard: "Eldest Brother, are you there?"

She called out, but received no response.

"Strange, hasn't Eldest Brother been in the courtyard all along? When did he leave? How come I didn't notice?"

You must know, she had already established her Foundation Establishment last night, officially becoming a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Her perception had greatly improved.

When Eldest Brother left, she should have been able to sense it.

"How strange."

She was puzzled, her gaze falling on a glass fish tank.

She looked at the black fish swimming in the tank and murmured, "Did Eldest Brother catch these fish last night?

They don't seem to be wild fish."

After a moment's thought, she didn't dwell on it any further and left her Eldest Brother's courtyard.

Meanwhile, in the Shinguang Sect's Scripture Pavilion.

Qi Yuan ascended to the third floor, where he was hiding in a corner, secretly checking information about the Black Mountain Sect's strength.
