I manage female characters in all the heavens.

"Leave this matter to Master Lu. Don't act rashly." Du Sha pressed down on Xiao Yu'er's shoulder, his tone more stern than ever before. "If you alert the enemy, you'll only ruin things."

Little Fish gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he still couldn't break free from Du Sha's grasp.

But a stubborn glint flashed in his eyes.

I am not an impulsive person.

I will find the evidence and then seek justice.

At lunchtime, the entire headquarters of the Demon Extermination Alliance was still shrouded in a dull and oppressive atmosphere.

Gongzi Yu's body has been placed in a temporary mourning hall and is being guarded by designated personnel.

The blood that stained the stone tablet could never be washed away, just like the vengeful spirit of Gongzi Yu, unwilling to dissipate.

Upon receiving the news, Yan Nantian smashed open his secluded chamber and rushed to the mourning hall as quickly as possible.

He stared silently at Gongzi Yu's body covered in a white sheet, his fists clenched until they bled, and a fierce aura enveloped the entire area, making everyone feel oppressed.

"The murderer must be found, and the revenge must be taken!" He practically squeezed out each word through clenched teeth.

He hadn't even had a chance to repay Gongzi Yu's great kindness when this master died so quietly and unjustly. He didn't die in the epic battle where blood splattered across the sky, but was instead murdered by a rat in the gutter through treachery and trickery.

This is absolutely unacceptable!!!

A blazing light flashed in Yan Nantian's eyes, almost igniting the air. As if he had made a decision, he strode back to the secret chamber with unwavering determination.

If insufficient strength becomes the only factor hindering the investigation, then he will risk his life to recover his strength as quickly as possible and cut off all obstacles!

An investigation team led by Lu Zhongyuan has been established, with hundreds of seasoned veterans skilled in interrogation being selected to begin investigating the whereabouts of everyone in the alliance.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

However, two days have passed, and the investigation has made no progress whatsoever, with no clues found.

The only possible clue could not be investigated due to the opponent's invincible strength.

Little Fish sat alone on the earthen slope at the edge of the camp, holding a flask of wine in his hand, but he didn't drink it.

He just stared blankly in the direction of the mourning hall in the distance, his mind replaying every moment he had spent with Gongzi Yu over the past two weeks.

When Gongzi Yu taught him martial arts, he was always very patient. Even if he made the same mistake ten times, although he would get angry, he would still patiently guide him repeatedly.

When Gongzi Yu drinks, he always pours him a cup too, saying things like, "A man who doesn't drink has lived in vain."

When Gongzi Yu smiled, although it was hidden by the mask, Xiaoyuer felt that his eyes would definitely curve into two crescent moons. He didn't look like a mysterious dragon head at all, but rather like a friendly uncle next door.

Such a person died, silently and without a trace...

Little Fish drank the wine in the pot in one gulp, then smashed the pot on the ground and stood up.

He made up his mind and decided not to wait for the investigation results.

He wanted to investigate himself, to confirm his suspicions, and then mobilize all the forces of the alliance to avenge Master Gongzi Yu!

Little Fish took a deep breath and walked quickly toward the secluded courtyard where Gongzi Yu had lived before his death.

That was a residence specially arranged for Gongzi Yu by the Alliance. It was not far from the courtyard where Yan Nantian was recuperating, and the environment was quiet and secluded.

After Gongzi Yu died, the courtyard was sealed off and will not be unsealed until the investigation team completes its investigation.

But how could that blockade possibly stop Little Fish, who grew up in the Valley of Villains?

He bypassed the two guards' line of sight, scaled the wall like a nimble cat, and landed silently in the courtyard.

The furnishings in the courtyard were exactly the same as when he last came. There was still a pot of tea that hadn't been finished on the stone table, and half a cup of tea that had gone cold remained in the teacup.

Everything is normal.

Little Fish began to carefully search every corner—the room, the study, even under the bed; he didn't miss any place where clues might be hidden.

However, more than an hour passed, and he still hadn't found anything.

This is normal. How can one person compare to the investigation efforts of a team of hundreds of professionals?

Even the investigation team couldn't find any valuable clues, so what could he possibly do?

Gongzi Yu's room was as clean as he was; there was nothing suspicious left behind.

Little Fish sat down at his desk, somewhat dejected, and picked up a book from the desk to flip through.

That was the Tao Te Ching that Gongzi Yu was reading last night, with a bookmark tucked between the pages.

Little Fish recognized the bookmark; he had made it himself three days earlier from a bamboo leaf, jokingly saying, "Master, you should use this when you read from now on, instead of those expensive things."

While saying, "If I have money, I should use expensive things," Gongzi Yu accepted Xiaoyuer's bookmark and used it.

Little Fish's eyes welled up with tears again. He carefully closed the book and put it back in its place.

Then, he suddenly froze, and quickly pulled the book out again.

He took out the bookmark and examined its appearance, only to find that the originally emerald green bamboo leaves had suddenly developed some black spots that seemed to be caused by spoilage.

However, these are fresh bamboo leaves that were picked just three days ago, and I even used my internal energy to roast them. How could this change have happened?

He carefully observed the black dots on them and found that their pattern was somewhat similar to the acupoints of the Five Ultimate Divine Skills that Gongzi Yu had taught him. It seemed that he could deduce them back into the mental cultivation method, find the corresponding characters, and form information that could be interpreted.

The little fish's brain worked at lightning speed, quickly extracting the corresponding words from the mental cultivation method and forming a short message.

The gist of the story is that Gongzi Yu recently discovered that Mingyue Xin seems to have some problems, and may be a spy planted by Ying Ri into the Qinglong Society, so he decided to question her.

If he returns, this message will be as if it never existed, and he will deal with it himself; if he never returns, then it is Mingyue Xin who killed him.

boom!

A thunderous sound shook the little fish's brain, and its pupils suddenly contracted.

His hand, which he had deciphered and transcribed the letter left by Gongzi Yu, trembled slightly.

It wasn't out of fear, it wasn't out of shock, it was out of anger.

Mingyue Xin, it really is you!

Little Fish carefully folded the letter and kept it close to his body.

Then he took a deep breath, climbed over the broken wall and out of the courtyard, rushing towards the direction where Mingyuexin lived like an arrow released from a bow.

He was so fast that he could hear the wind whistling past his ears.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—to find Mingyue Xin and seek justice for Master Gongzi Yu!

I have to say, that was too impulsive.

However, he had only rushed less than a hundred feet when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Du Sha.

"Little Fish, where are you running to in such a hurry?" Du Sha frowned, looking at the panting Little Fish. "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Uncle Du!" Little Fish grabbed Du Sha's sleeve and stuffed the letter into his hand.

"Look at this! I've deciphered the suicide note left by Uncle Gongzi Yu! He discovered that Mingyue Xin was suspicious long ago. It was Mingyue Xin who killed Master Gongzi Yu. It must be her!"

Du Sha took the letter, quickly glanced at its contents, and his expression instantly became extremely serious: "This is... are you sure it's true?"

"Of course it's true. This information is encrypted using the rules of the Five Ultimate Divine Skills. Only I can decipher it, so the investigation team couldn't find it!"

Little Fish said urgently, "Uncle Du, we must tell Master Lu this right away and have him lead everyone to capture Mingyue Xin! We can't let her escape again!"

Du Sha was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Let's go find Master Lu first."

He believed Xiaoyuer, after all, Mingyuexin was indeed a strong suspect.

The two hurried along and soon found Lu Zhongyuan near the mourning hall.

After reading the letter, Lu Zhongyuan's expression also turned extremely ugly.

He also had no doubts about Xiaoyuer. As he said before, the only person who could kill Gongzi Yu like that was Mingyue Xin.

However, due to a lack of evidence, they could not arbitrarily accuse a peerless master.

But now that Xiaoyuer has produced this, it is evidence!

Chapter 135 From this day forward, I shall stand in the heavens (One chapter today)

"Young Master Yu discovered the problem long ago..." He gripped the letter, his knuckles turning white from the force. "Damn it, he didn't say a word, to the point that..."

"If he tells us what happened, and we go together to question Mingyue Xin, with us by his side, he won't die!"

“Master Lu, now is not the time to blame yourself,” Du Sha said in a deep voice. “Mingyue Xin is Ying Ri’s spy, and she was able to kill Gongzi Yu. Her martial arts skills are probably far beyond our expectations.”

"If left unchecked, she could cause even greater damage to the alliance at any time!"

Lu Zhongyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "You're right. But Master Yan is still in seclusion recovering his strength and is no match for Mingyue Xin. We can't act rashly."

"What should we do then?" Little Fish asked anxiously. "Are we just going to let her get away with it?"

"It's not about letting her get away with it, but about taking a long-term approach." A cold glint flashed in Lu Zhongyuan's eyes.

"Let's go to the council of elders first and report this matter to them so they can make a decision."

"As long as the Elders' Council gives the order to gather all the experts in the alliance to surround and kill Mingyue Xin, even if she has extraordinary abilities, she will not be able to escape the encirclement of these 60,000 troops!"

Although Lu Zhongyuan and other experts are highly respected in the Demon Extermination Alliance, they cannot make decisions on alliance affairs. This is the power of the Elders Council, and Lu Zhongyuan and other experts also accept this management model.

While they might have the authority to mobilize troops on their own, it's always best to apply for permission first.

The establishment and maintenance of a system requires everyone's self-awareness. If the powerful act recklessly and disregard the rules, then who will maintain the system?

If the relevant systems of such a large alliance become mere decorations, its collapse is imminent.

Although Xiaoyuer was extremely anxious, he understood that Lu Zhongyuan's words made sense.

He gritted his teeth and nodded: "Alright, then I'll listen to Master Lu!"

The three of them dared not delay and immediately set off for the council hall where the elders were located.

The Elders' Council is located in the very center of the Alliance headquarters, in a magnificent and imposing hall.

On ordinary days, the thirty-six elders would gather here to discuss and handle all matters, big and small, of the alliance.

However, due to the recent murder of Gongzi Yu, the entire alliance has put aside its work and entered into an intense investigation. With nothing else to do, the elders have had some rare free time and have not issued any orders for two days.

However, when the three arrived at the entrance of the main hall, they felt an unusual silence.

The silence was not the silence of someone having a serious discussion inside, but rather the quiet of an empty house or a tomb.
