Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 54 There is no truth

While the two were talking, a powerful aura rose in front of them and a monk in silver armor stopped them.

"Xue Yue seals the city, no one is allowed to enter!"

The crane and the white horse both stopped. Gao Sheng took out a token and said, "Gao Sheng from the Demon Exorcist Division, I have come to Snow Moon City to exorcise demons."

Lin Jing also took out a token and said, "Lin Jing from the Beast Taming Sect has come to Xueyue City to investigate the disappearance of the beast."

"..."

The silver-armored monk looked at the ninth- and fourth-level Qi training practitioners riding on foundation-building mounts and didn't know what to say.

Gao Sheng looked at Lin Jing and asked, "Are you here to eliminate demons too?"

You think my cultivation is too low...you are only at the fourth level yourself!
"Nice to meet you. Your horse is really handsome." Lin Jing said.

"This is a dragon horse. You from the Beast Taming Sect, don't think too much about it."

The silver-armored monk checked the tokens of the two men and made an announcement.

Soon, a middle-aged monk with a face covered by a thick snow-white beard came in person.

Lin Jing had seen the portrait of this person, and it was Tang Qinghan, the Lord of Xueyue City.

Lin Jing was in a trance. He didn't expect that he would receive the same treatment as Senior Brother Ouyang and be personally received by a Jindan cultivator!
"Mr. Gao... why are you here? Is your father okay?" The Lord of Xueyue City ignored Lin Jing and spoke to the young man in black with a kind face.

"City Lord Tang, please don't be like this. I am Gao Sheng from the Demon Extermination Division, not Gao Sheng from the Gao family. I am here to solve cases and exorcise demons." The young man in black said, "This is my first case since I joined the Demon Extermination Division. City Lord Tang, please cooperate with me."

"Xueyue City will definitely fully cooperate with the Demon Extermination Bureau." City Lord Tang nodded, then looked at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing looked up at the sky.

Tian Yuhe said: "Beast Taming Sect, we are the Beast Taming Sect!"

"So he is a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect... Your sect's disciple Ouyang Hao met with an accident in my Xueyue City. This city lord is negligent. This city lord promises that within one month, I will find the real culprit and give an explanation to your sect." City Lord Tang was extremely serious.

"Thank you, City Lord Tang. We came here this time to participate in the investigation." Lin Jing said, "I am a disciple of Danxia Peak. I have been studying poison for more than 20 years with my master since I was young. The ancestor of the sect judged that Senior Brother Ouyang was injured by poison, so he sent me here to investigate."

"So that's how it is. Please follow me into the city first." City Lord Tang said. The snow fog dissipated, and a tall city wall appeared in front of them.

……

At the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Tang wanted to entertain the two of them first, but Gao Sheng unexpectedly said, "Forget the usual courtesies. City Lord Tang, I already have an understanding of what happened in Xueyue City... and have preliminarily determined who the murderer is!"

“What?!” City Lord Tang was shocked. He had just arrived in Xueyue City and the murderer had already been identified?
Lin Jing was also surprised. He didn't know whether this brother was reliable or not. Shensong hadn't figured out anything yet.

"First of all, the property of Xueyue City has been infringed, and disciples from a large sect have been attacked here. Who will suffer the greatest loss in this serious public security issue?" Gao Sheng said, "It must be City Lord Tang. If there is a greater impact later, City Lord Tang's career will definitely be affected!"

“So, this incident may seem like a demonic rebellion, but there is also a certain possibility that it is the enemy of City Lord Tang who is doing demonic things!”

"I collected detailed information before coming here. After the Lotus Pavilion's Master Hua came to the desolate Snow Moon City, due to the various policies set by City Lord Tang, the Lotus Pavilion's business here has been very bleak... There is no hope of promotion... Just now, Brother Lin from the Beast Taming Sect said that the Beast Taming Sect's disciples were poisoned in this city..."

"You know, the Lotus Pavilion is mainly engaged in the business of elixirs. Elixirs are three-tenths poisonous, and they are the only ones who have studied poison!"

“Lord Tang, please quickly arrest the leader of the Lotus Pavilion, Hua Qiandao.” After Gao Sheng finished speaking, he took out a fan and fanned it with great elegance.

City Lord Tang looked strange and said, "Mr. Gao, Pavilion Lord Hua and I did have some conflicts in the early years, but we have reconciled now. Snow Moon City has reached a deep cooperation with Lotus Pavilion, and the contract has been signed. If I fall, he will also be in trouble. Now... we are in a relationship of prosperity and adversity together."

Gao Sheng continued to fan, slightly silent.

"You guys... just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lin Jing clasped his fists and left first, thinking that this matter... this person from the Demon Exorcist Department would not be able to help much. "Senior Shensong... is there any problem with this City Lord's Mansion?" After leaving, Lin Jing spread out his palm, which was a pine cone.

A voice came from inside the pine cone.

"Nothing unusual was found, and City Lord Tang is fine too. But I already know what kind of poison your brother was poisoned with."

"What?" Lin Jing was stunned.

"Just follow my instructions." Shen Song said.

Lin Jing nodded quickly, and after walking for about a few kilometers, he came to a snow-covered meadow.

Under the guidance of the sacred pine, Lin Jing bent down, blew away the ice and snow covering the grass, and pulled out a few purple plants.

"Look what this is."

Lin Jing looked at the purple grass and fell into deep thought. In the complete collection of plants and trees... this kind of plant was not recorded.

His brain quickly recalled the miscellaneous books he had read. Suddenly, he found that red spots had appeared on his palms. He immediately said, "The petals are split, the leaves are snake-like, and red rashes appear when touched. This is the insect feather grass."

“That’s right.” Shen Song saw that Lin Jing knew this plant and said, “Then do you know where it likes to grow?”

Lin Jing said: "Insect Feather Grass likes to grow in places where poisonous insects are. It is a poisonous grass that grows in abundance in the Yunhai Mountains. What the senior means is that Senior Brother was injured by a poisonous insect..."

“Wait, it’s just an ordinary poisonous insect, there is no way it can make the Golden Core Elder and the Yuanying Patriarch helpless.”

"Poison..." Lin Jing said, "One of the three great demon sects, the Gu God Sect has been studying poison for tens of thousands of years. They are the only ones who possess this kind of difficult and strange poison. The Gu poison is so changeable that it is hard to guard against. Apart from the Gu insect itself, there are few medicines that can cure it. Senior, is the source of the poison you are looking for the Gu insect?"

"Yes." Shen Song said, "Not only is it not an ordinary poisonous insect, it is definitely not an ordinary Gu insect. This Snow Moon City hides a big secret. Your brother should have been injured by the child Gu, so as long as the mother Gu is found, his ice Gu poison can be perfectly cured."

"Brother Lin!" At this time, a man caught up with Lin Jing. It was Gao Sheng from the Demon Extermination Bureau.

Lin Jing put away the pine cone and looked at this second-generation immortal.

He said to Lin Jing: "Brother Lin, I finally found you."

"Brother Gao, why did you leave the City Lord's Mansion?"

Gao Sheng looked terrified: "I came up with a new theory! So I escaped."

"I've thought of this. The one among your sect's disciples might be infected with the 'Gu poison' of the Gu Shen Sect, one of the three great demon sects!"

Lin Jing couldn't help but admire him. It seemed that this man had some real talent. Who knew he continued, "Because I suddenly remembered what my father once said. In recent years, the Gu God Cult has used Gu poison to control people's hearts and has increased its infiltration into the ancient country. City Lord Tang... might have been controlled by the Gu God Cult and become a puppet! After all, the skills he practiced and the ice Gu poison seem to be in perfect harmony. He is the culprit behind everything in Xueyue City!"

Lin Jing:?
"Brother Gao is very talented, do you have any evidence?"

"No."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Jing was speechless. He said, "If the lord of a city wants to use beasts to raise Gu, with the Tang family's background in Xueyue City, is it necessary to go to the Beast Taming Sect to steal rabbits?"

"Well... what Brother Lin said makes sense." The genius of the Demon Extermination Division fell into deep thought again.

"Brother Lin, do you think it is possible..." He suddenly looked at Lin Jing warily and took a step back.

"Are you trying to say that my Beast Taming Sect has always been known as the Demon Sect, and you suspect that someone in my Beast Taming Sect is colluding with the Demon Sect, and you want to first sacrifice your own interests to get rid of the suspicion, and then cry thief?"

Gao Sheng was stunned: "How did you know!"

"Brother Gao, you should go home and inherit the immortal business!"
