Investigating: Something Was Wrong
When Li Yunjing saw that someone recognized him, he calmly bowed to the passersby around him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the spiritual items sold by my Luozhen Treasure Pavilion are absolutely genuine and of guaranteed quality."
On behalf of the entire Luozhen Sect, I assure you that we will provide you with an explanation for this matter.
I hope you will all help spread the word about the Luozhen Sect.
However, if I find out that someone is deliberately spreading rumors and slandering Luozhen Sect before the truth comes out, don't blame Luozhen Sect for being ruthless.
After saying this, Li Yunjing ignored the reactions of those around him.
They walked briskly towards the center of Zheng Household Market with Shen Chun.
Zheng Household Market was founded by a small Lineage surnamed Zheng.
The central location was where the Zheng Household lived.
At this time, within the Zheng Household's residence,
Zheng Qianjue, the head of the Zheng Household, was in a state of utter distress.
"How could something this big happen in Zheng Household Market!?"
Zheng Qianjue verge of tears; this was utterly an undeserved disaster.
Kuang Qihua was just a Rogue Cultivator; his death is nothing to regret.
But he tragically died in Zheng Household Market.
That's fine.
Unfortunately, Kuang Qihua died suddenly after consuming the elixir he purchased from the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
This matter is related to the Luozhen Sect.
This may have been the beginning of the Zheng Household's downfall.
Everyone knows that the Luozhen Sect has recently risen to prominence.
If it's to protect one's reputation
What should be done if the Luozhen Sect uses the Zheng Household as a scapegoat?
The Zheng Household lacked the resources to contend with the Luozhen Sect.
Just then, a young man from the Zheng Household came running to find Zheng Qianjue.
"Father, Sect Leader Li, the sect leader of Li Yunjing Luozhen Sect, has come in person."
The young man was covered in sweat and looked terrified.
Upon hearing Zheng Qianjue nearly choked on his breath, his vision blurred, and he was about to faint.
Fortunately, he only stumbled slightly, and by grabbing the table, Zheng Qianjue regained his balance.
"Quickly, quickly invite Sect Leader Li in properly. We must not neglect Sect Leader Li," Zheng Qianjue said.
Although the consequences are unknown
But for now, we must at least not be impolite.
In the main hall, Li Yunjing and Shen Chun sat down.
Zheng Qianjue strode in.
"Zheng Qianjue of the Zheng Household greets Sect Leader Li." Zheng Qianjue bowed slightly.
Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "You should know why I'm here. Tell me in detail about Kuang Qihua's matter."
Zheng Qianjue wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
He recounted the entire story of Kuang Qihua's death from beginning to end.
This is largely consistent with the information provided by Shen Chun.
This morning, someone noticed a foul odor coming from Kuang Qihua's house.
They summoned Zheng Household to break the formation surrounding Kuang Qihua's house.
That's when they discovered that Kuang Qihua was dead.
Its body had already begun to decompose.
"Rotting has occurred..."
This was something Shen Chun didn't mention in the message.
"Are you sure Kuang Qihua died last night?" Li Yunjing stared at Zheng Qianjue.
"Yes, there are witnesses." Zheng Qianjue nodded quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Qianjue sent someone to summon the witness.
Not long after, a heavily made-up female cultivator was brought in.
Upon seeing Zheng Qianjue inside the room, the female cultivator quickly lowered her head.
"Master Zheng Household."
Zheng Qianjue looked at the female cultivator with a serious expression and said:
"Luo Wan, please tell me in detail about your meeting with Kuang Qihua last night."
This is Sect Leader Li of the Luozhen Sect. He's here to investigate Kuang Qihua's matter.
Luo Wan's body trembled.
I never imagined I'd have the chance to see someone like this in person, someone I'd only ever heard about in rumors.
Not daring to delay, Luo Wan recounted the events of the previous night in detail.
From meeting Kuang Qihua, flirting with Kuang Qihua, to what they said to Kuang Qihua...
Describe everything in detail.
After listening, Li Yunjing nodded slightly.
He tapped his fingers slowly on the chair armrest.
According to Luo Wan, it was around 5 PM last night.
She saw Kuang Qihua return and interact with Kuang Qihua.
In other words, Kuang Qihua was still alive at that time.
Even after Kuang Qihua entered the house, he immediately died.
It has been less than ten hours since he died.
If that's the case, how could Kuang Qihua's body have decomposed?
After a moment's thought, Li Yunjing looked at Zheng Qianjue.
"Where is Kuang Qihua's body?" Li Yunjing asked.
Zheng Qianjue, "I've already sent people to protect the scene at his residence."
With Kuang Qihua dead, Zheng Qianjue knew that the scene must not be disturbed in the slightest.
Otherwise, it will cause big trouble.
Zheng Qianjue led Li Yunjing and Shen Chun to the place where Kuang Qihua lived.
Unravel the formation and enter the house.
In an instant, a pungent stench assaulted the senses.
Shen Chun and Zheng Qianjue, who were standing to the side, both changed their expressions.
Zheng Qianjue felt his stomach churning and was about to vomit.
Fortunately, he tried his best to restrain himself.
Li Yunjing also frowned.
She slightly covered her mouth and nose.
On the bed in front of Li Yunjing, a highly decomposed corpse appeared.
The corpse was unrecognizable as human.
"How could this be?" Zheng Qianjue said, suppressing his nausea.
"When I came to see it this morning, it hadn't decomposed to this extent yet."
Li Yunjing glanced at Zheng Qianjue.
In other words, after a morning,
The corpse was in a deeper state of decomposition.
Li Yunjing wouldn't believe it unless someone was behind it.
The elixirs sold from the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion weren't poisons.
In addition, Kuang Qihua is a Mid-Stage Qi Refining of Rogue Cultivator.
After death, the body will be affected by spiritual energy.
It will not rot in a short period of time.
For at least three months, their bodies will still retain elasticity.
It's no different from when I was alive.
To rot to this extent,
It will take quite a while.
Li Yunjing stepped forward.
He released his Divine Sense to investigate carefully.
Li Yunjing found a bottle of elixir beneath Kuang Qihua's body.
Using his Divine Sense, he took out the elixir bottle.
As expected, it was a product of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
This elixir bottle was specially commissioned by the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
The bottom of the bottle bears the mark of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.
There were also three Condensed Ganoderma Pill in the bottle.
There will be four pills in one bottle of Condensed Ganoderma Pill.
There are only three Condensed Ganoderma Pill left.
Either Kuang Qihua ate one, or something unexpected happened.
Li Yunjing suppressed his nausea and carefully used his Divine Sense to perceive the pile of corpses belonging to Kuang Qihua.
Ten breaths passed, and Li Yunjing had his answer.
Condensed Ganoderma Pill consumed this Kuang Qihua Pill.
Although Kuang Qihua's body had already decomposed.
However, the medicinal effects of Condensed Ganoderma Pill still remain.
As a first-grade Alchemist, Li Yunjing was able to sense this.
Turning around, Li Yunjing looked at Zheng Qianjue.
"Let's clean this place up," Li Yunjing said.
Zheng Qianjue was taken aback, and wanted to say something.
Li Yunjing ignored Zheng Qianjue.
Li Yunjing gestured to Shen Chun, and then he and Shen Chun left directly.
Once outside, Li Yunjing glanced back at Kuang Qihua's residence.
Their dwelling was very simple and showed no signs of damage.
"Sect Leader, what was the result?" Shen Chun asked telepathically.
Li Yunjing did not answer immediately, but gestured for Shen Chun to leave first.
Upon arriving outside Zheng Household Market, Li Yunjing finally spoke:
"He did indeed die suddenly after taking Condensed Ganoderma Pill."
However, its body decomposed too quickly, far exceeding the normal rate of decay.
There's something fishy going on here, but there's too little information to deduce anything.
Upon hearing this, Shen Chun's expression changed.
"Someone's framing me? I'll immediately send people to investigate who Luozhen Treasure Pavilion has been in contact with since leaving Kuang Qihua yesterday."
Shen Chun reacted quickly.
Li Yunjing didn't say anything.
Even if an investigation is conducted, it's unlikely to uncover anything.
The visitor must have come prepared.
"Sect Leader, what should we do with the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion?" Shen Chun asked, his eyes filled with worry.
Li Yunjing thought for a moment.
"Let's close the shop before the truth comes out."
If it is indeed a case of someone framing and slandering someone, then innocent people may die.
That will only cause widespread panic.
Closing the store now is the only option left.
Cut your losses immediately, then consider other things.
