Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 234 My Guess is the Evidence
I never expected that the Celestial Master's fourth disciple would have such courage.

If you choose to live, after a struggle, there may still be a chance.

However, it must be said that this method of suicide is indeed the simplest and most effective.

This approach aligns with the interests of all parties and avoids a major conflict.

Looking at the somewhat dim scenery outside the window, Chen Feng's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. He hadn't expected Zhao Huanjin to have such a magnanimous spirit.

That's good, it saves me a lot of trouble.

As for who was behind this incident, he had some guesses, but no concrete evidence. Perhaps some information could be obtained from Zhao Huanjin's body.

A day later, news that shocked the entire world of supernatural beings spread.

Zhao Huanjin, the fourth disciple of the Celestial Master and the abbot of several Taoist temples, was confirmed to have committed suicide in a house.

His body was transported to Longhu Mountain.

This matter quickly became the focus of discussion among various forces, and during this period, both major powers and individual players engaged in discussions surrounding it.

"Alas, I was just discussing Taoist cultivation with Master Zhao before. I never expected such a thing to happen. It's truly unbelievable. Life is unpredictable. A great disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion has died just like that."

"There's no other way. They killed a disciple of the Tang Clan. Death is the best solution. What else can we do? Are we supposed to fight the Tang Clan? Indeed, Longhu Mountain is very powerful, but the Tang Clan is not to be underestimated. The Tang Clan on the mainland is already powerful enough, not to mention the Tang Clan abroad. Moreover, it is said that even Na Du Tong has Tang Clan members inside."

“Sigh, you and I both understand that there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. Think about it, how could a high-ranking disciple of the Celestial Master’s Mansion do something like murder like the Quanxing gang? Just think about it carefully and you’ll know there’s definitely something wrong.”

"Hmph, so what if there's a problem? It's useless if you can't find any evidence. You were framed because of your lack of skill. There's nothing to say. You just have to accept the consequences."

While outsiders were discussing the matter, another piece of news quietly spread: the Tang Clan's experts had arrived at Longhu Mountain to discuss Zhao Huanjin's situation.

Jiangxi, Longhu Mountain.

At this moment, several black cars were parked at the foot of the mountain. As the car doors opened, a group of Tang Clan experts dressed in white stepped out.

This time, Chen Feng brought Tang Miaoxing along with a group of skilled fighters from his sect.

This has always been the rule of the Tang Clan: Yang Lie is responsible for handling affairs to save face, while Chen Feng, the inner circle, takes over when disputes arise.

In the previous generation of the Tang Clan, the patriarch Tang Jiaren was the substance, while the sect leader Tang Bingwen was the face. This has always been the case in the Tang Clan.

If Zhao Huanjin hadn't committed suicide, some conflict might have broken out.

There's no way around it. Even if we had a relationship before, our positions are different, and the forces we represent are different.

Fortunately, Zhao Huanjin personally took charge and prevented things from getting any worse.

Now, this is just a formality, to let the Tang Clan members see the corpse and give them an explanation, and that's it.

At this moment, as the Tang Clan members appeared, the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, who had been waiting for a long time, came over together.

Leading the group was Zhang Qianhe, the eldest disciple of Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, looking very solemn.

He also holds a very high position within the Zhengyi sect, and his unique understanding of Taoist practices has earned him the admiration of many Taoist temples.

Zhang Qianhe is a very low-key person who never shows off his abilities, but after decades of cultivation, his strength is not weak.

Zhang Qianhe is the eldest disciple and very strong. It can be said that if anything happens to Zhang Zhiwei, then without a doubt, Zhang Qianhe will be the next Celestial Master.

Upon seeing the Tang Clan members, the Celestial Master's eldest disciple, accompanied by the Taoist priests behind him, stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Master Chen. Master has been waiting for you on the mountain for quite some time. I will take you up the mountain now."

Thumb thump! ! !

Before Chen Feng could speak, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and Zhao Fangxu came down the mountain and ran towards them.

Upon reaching him, Zhao Fangxu was panting heavily. He wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile:
"Master Zhang and Master Chen, you really exhausted me. Fortunately, I managed to catch up despite rushing. Why don't you take me up the mountain with you?"

Although the matter may have ended, as the company's chairman, in order to ensure everything went smoothly and avoid any further complications, Zhao Fangxu decided to come directly over.

With him, the company chairman, present, the two of them are unlikely to start fighting.

At the same time, Liu Zhenguo, dressed in a loose Taoist robe and wearing glasses, also walked over from a distance, stood behind Zhao Fangxu, and nodded to the two of them with a smile.

He was clearly acting as a bodyguard, protecting Zhao Fangxu's safety.

The fact that Liu Zhenguo could reach the realm of Yang Shen at least proves that his life cultivation is not bad, and can even be said to be very strong.

Seeing this, Zhang Qianhe smiled and nodded to Zhao Fangxu.

"Alright, since Chairman Zhao has said so, let's go together. We at Longhu Mountain are the most hospitable."

Without further delay, he led the group up the mountain.

The Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain surrounded Chen Feng on both sides, while the experts from the Tang Clan gathered behind him.

Both sides maintained a calm, but there was something strange about this calm.

Both sides looked at each other warily. Although the matter was nearing its end, the deaths of members of their respective sects had created a rift between them.

They walked in silence, and after an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the main hall on Longhu Mountain.

At this moment, the hall had been decorated, with white cloth wrapped around the beams, and in the very center was Zhao Huanjin's corpse, covered by white cloth.

The old Celestial Master and his men were all there, staring at Zhao Huanjin's corpse in silence for a long time.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Tang Clan members, the disciples all turned their gazes towards them.

The fifth disciple, Qian Dahu, who was the most impatient, made no attempt to hide the coldness in his eyes as he glared angrily at Chen Feng, who was in the lead.

If it weren't for this particular situation, they might have actually started fighting.

He was very close to his fourth senior brother, Zhao Huanjin; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were like brothers. He never expected that his brother would die because of such a thing.

Although I know that the other party did a good job because of their stance, I still can't calm down.

Fortunately, Zhao Huanjin committed suicide; if he had been killed by the Tang Clan, the atmosphere would likely be even more tense.

Facing the coldness in Qian Dahu's eyes, Tang Miaoxing narrowed her eyes and stared intently at the other man's vital points.

At this distance, once he makes a move, he is confident that he can instantly strike the opponent's vital points.

Sensing the subtle threat, Qian Dahu restrained his emotions and became cautious. Zhang Zhiwei, who was looking at Zhao Huanjin's corpse, said, "Dahu, step back first. All guests are welcome. There's no need to show such an expression. The rest of you disciples, please leave first. I want to have a good talk with Sect Leader Chen."

"And Chairman Zhao, don't worry, I understand why you're here. It won't escalate to that point."

Upon hearing his master speak, Qian Dahu composed himself, became respectful, bowed respectfully, and then left with the others.

Seeing this, Chen Feng waved his hand.

Immediately, the Tang Clan experts around him received the order, bowed to Chen Feng, and then left the hall.

At the same time, Zhao Fangxu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Alright, in that case, I won't disturb you two any longer and will take my leave now."

At this moment, only Zhang Zhiwei and Chen Feng remained in the hall, with Zhao Huanjin's corpse lying on the ground.

Neither of them spoke first; both remained silent.

After a long while, Zhang Zhiwei sighed softly, turned to look at Chen Feng, and gave a forced smile.

"I'm sorry, if you had come at any other time, I would have been happy to welcome you, but it's not possible this time."

Seeing this expression, Chen Feng knew that the other party had probably let go of the matter, so he shook his head and talked about the outcome of the matter.

"This matter has come to an end, so let's call it a day. I also have another purpose for coming here: to investigate the truth. Your disciple called me before I came, and we had a chat."

“I know that your disciple did this not out of his own heart, so from any perspective, I will try to see if I can find any clues.”

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and echoed, "Okay, let's consider this matter completely over, as you said. But I still have one question I'd like to ask you..."

At this point, his gaze shifted slightly, and his tone became somewhat turbulent.

"If I'm determined to protect Huanjin, what would you do today, having brought your best men with you?"

Faced with this pointed question, Chen Feng smiled but did not answer.

The outcome of this matter is already predetermined. From any perspective, the Tang Clan is in no way inferior to Longhu Mountain, and may even surpass it by a considerable margin.

Moreover, the Tang Clan is in the right. If you can't find evidence that Zhao Huanjin was controlled, then it's undeniable that Zhao Huanjin killed the Tang Clan disciple. That's the fact.

Therefore, the company is also on the side of Tangmen. Faced with the combined forces of the two sides, Tianshi Mansion could not withstand it. The outcome is already in doubt; it's just a matter of how much Tianshi Mansion will lose in the end.

It can be said that Zhao Huanjin's suicide was indeed a brilliant move, which made things look much better for all parties and minimized the losses of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Zhang Zhiwei already knew the answer, but he wasn't angry at all; he just shook his head.

"Sigh, I really didn't want to have a conflict with you. Oh well, this matter is over now. The most important thing now is to find out who the mastermind is!"

As he finished speaking, the Taoist priest's expression darkened, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

In his youth, he was known for his unbridled behavior and deep-seated arrogance. In his old age, he became more thoughtful, but that fierceness did not disappear; rather, it was hidden away.

Otherwise, this top-tier character in the anime wouldn't have risked everything to personally wipe out the Quanxing sect after Tian Jinzhong's death.

Chen Feng nodded, a hint of hatred flashing in his dark eyes: "Alright, that's one of the main purposes of my visit here, to see if we can find any clues."

"I'm just letting you know in advance that I need to use your disciple's corpse."

Zhang Zhiwei didn't say much about this, but simply flicked his hand to signal Chen Feng to use whatever he wanted.

Before Zhao Huanjin died, he had spoken to him on the phone and said that as long as the murderer could be found and his innocence cleared, he would dispose of his body as he pleased.

Chen Feng stood beside Zhao Huanjin's corpse, stretched out his hand, and slowly activated his own Qi.

In an instant, powerful blue energy erupted from his body, faintly stirring up ripples.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei remained expressionless, but was still slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that his opponent's strength would improve even after so long.

Immediately afterwards, a blue hand slowly emerged and entered Zhao Huanjin's head.

This scenario is not much different from what Lü Huan did a few days ago.

However, the crystal blue hand that Chen Feng displayed looked many times purer, and it also carried a faint glow.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes. The Soul-Clearing Technique, or more accurately, the Dual-Hand Technique, was something he hadn't expected Chen Feng to know.

Indeed, he had a guess the moment he saw the Lü family's Soul-Brightening Technique. Considering when the Lü family acquired the Soul-Brightening Technique, it could be said that this so-called innate skill, Soul-Brightening Technique, was one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the Dual-Handed Technique.

However, due to the lack of evidence, they were too lazy to bother with it. After all, there was an unwritten rule among the major powers that whoever snatched the Eight Extraordinary Techniques would own them.

While Zhang Zhiwei was pondering, Chen Feng had already made progress on the other side.

Indeed, Zhao Huanjin's memory was normal, and even his soul showed no abnormality. However, through his powerful dual-wielding skills, Chen Feng eventually discovered that something was amiss.

There was a vague sense of familiarity in that memory. One memory was a little abnormal; it was too perfect, so it felt slightly off compared to the other memories.

Of course, unless one has a deep understanding of the Dual Hands technique, one would not be able to detect it at all.

Therefore, the suspect has been identified, and it is most likely Qu Tong, the president of Yaoxing Society.

However, according to Chen Feng's guess, Naqu Tong's demonstrated abilities should not have reached this level, unless she paid a considerable price.

Finding this clue is enough. Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The blue, crystalline Qi hand slowly dissipated, and the powerful blue Qi around him also subsided.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately asked, "How is it? Have you made any progress? Do you have any concrete clues pointing to it?"

Chen Feng shook his head and replied, "I haven't found any definite clues, but I have a guess, and it's pretty close to the truth."

"who is it?"

"Yaoxing Society, Qu Tong."

Upon hearing the name, Zhang Zhiwei immediately remembered Yaoxing Society, an intelligence organization that was said to be on par with Xiaozhan, and a rising force like Tianxia Society.

Moreover, the president of this company, Qu Tong, has always been very mysterious.

Of course, this is just a guess, and there is no direct evidence, but it's pretty close to the truth.

Seemingly having considered this, Chen Feng looked at Zhang Zhiwei and chuckled, "It's alright, we'll have evidence after we arrest her..."

Evidence? What evidence do you need? If I, Chen Feng, say you did it, then you did it. Anyway, Qu Tong isn't a good person either, might as well kill her sooner rather than later...
