Chapter 927: Who Killed Her?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings.

His current cultivation realm was passable, and his control of power far surpassed others.

He had also comprehended a lot from the nameless manual. Things couldn’t be hidden from her.

However, this time, he could only faintly sense a trace of fluctuation.

It meant that the people who were spying on this place were extraordinary.

However, it was vague, and he could not sense them properly.

He could only pretend not to know about them and protect himself.

He could only hope that the experts of the sect would notice it as soon as possible.

However, why would a normal person constantly be on guard when their sect was being spied on?

At that moment, some people from the Heavenly Saint Sect came to the Spirit Herb Garden. They seemed to be looking for something.

Their leader was a woman.

These people had been here for a long time. He didn’t know what they were doing.

Jiang Hao kept his distance.

He didn’t want to have anything to do with them. It was safer this way.

Fortunately, the Spirit Herb Garden did not have many visitors. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome.

These people were a little strange.

Luckily, they were people with low cultivation realms.

He just had to act normal.

The person accompanying the leader of the group was Senior Sister Ning Xuan.

“It must have been stolen. Otherwise, how could my treasure be gone just like that?” The woman sounded furious.

“I think we should search the storage treasures of suspicious people.”

“That’s not appropriate,” said Ning Xuan.

“They have nothing to fear if they are innocent unless you already know your sect did something dirty,” said the woman.

Ning Xuan frowned.

When Jiang Hao got up, he saw them. He bowed and prepared to leave.

“Stop!” said the woman from the Heavenly Saint Sect. “Stop.”

“Senior, are you calling me?” Jiang Hao stopped and bowed.

Her black hair reached her waist. She looked smug as though the people around her weren’t worthy of her attention.

She was in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. It was the same realm as Senior Sister Ning Xuan.

However, she didn’t think highly of Senior Sister Ning Xuan either.

“Why are you leaving right when you saw us coming? Is it because you’re guilty?” Yue Zhengxing Lian asked coldly.

Jiang Hao was surprised, but he calmly said, “Because I’m done with my work here.”

“Is that so?” Yue Zhengxing Lian said. “I think you know who I am and stole my things. You’re worried that you’ll be exposed and have no choice but to turn around and leave.”

Jiang Hao didn’t know what to say. “Senior, you must be joking.”

“Joking? No, I’m telling the truth. If you aren’t guilty, why would you leave the moment you met us?” Yue Zhengxing Lian asked.

“Fellow disciple, you have to have evidence to accuse him like that,” said Ning Xuan.

“Evidence? If he isn’t guilty, then why isn’t he denying it?” Yue Zhengxing Lian sneered.

Ning Xuan frowned.

“I want to search his storage treasure,” Yue Zhengxing Lian said. “If he refuses to let us, then we know he stole it.”

Ning Xuan lowered her head.

“You don’t dare to tell him to hand over his storage treasure? Are you involved in this too?” Yue Zhengxing Lian asked.

At that moment, some members of the Heavenly Saint Sect looked over.

These people were extremely powerful, and Ning Xuan had no way to deal with them.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

However, just as he was about to speak, a woman ran in from outside.

“Senior Sister, I found the item.”

She handed a strange-shaped object to Yue Zhengxing Lian.

“Found it?” Yue Zhengxing Lian said as she took it. “Where?”

“It was in your room,” said the woman.

At that moment, Ning Xuan looked at the Yue Zhengxing Lian.

“Can’t I suspect you when I don’t find my things even if they haven’t been stolen?” Yue Zhengxing Lian said indifferently. “Your junior might not have stolen my things this time, but his attitude makes it seem like he has stolen them before. Even if he didn’t steal this time, he definitely will next time.”

With that, she left with her people.

Ning Xuan glanced at Jiang Hao and left without saying a word.

Jiang Hao looked at Yue Zhengxing Lian’s receding back and appraised her.

He realized that she didn’t have any ulterior motives.

She was also one of the Saintesses in the Heavenly Saint Sect.

The Heavenly Saint Sect would support her with all their might.

Jiang Hao sighed.

He walked away and went back to rest.

The next day, the air around the Spirit Herb Garden became dense.

There was a violent aura around it.

It seemed like something had happened here. Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised.

He had gone out for a walk last night and saw the Saintess dead in the courtyard.

Someone had attacked her.

After looking around, he found that the other party’s storage treasure was right there, except for that one thing.

This was a blatant provocation.

The Saintess had died at the Cliff of Broken Hearts. They were all in big trouble.

The main reason was that the Cliff Master was not around, so the trouble would be even bigger.

Jiang Hao wasn’t sure if the benefits brought by Heavenly Saint Sect would be huge enough to escalate things.

As expected, the people from Law Enforcement Hall came over to investigate.

They soon found Jiang Hao.

They asked him some questions.

“Junior Brother, I hope you can tell the truth. This matter can be as big or as small as we make it,” said a Senior Sister.

Jiang Hao nodded.

After that, he answered their questions truthfully. The questions were mostly related to a series of questions, most of which were related to Yue Zhengxing Lian and Ning Xuan.

Jiang Hao told her everything honestly.

He felt that it was Senior Sister Ning Xuan who did it, but he didn’t say that.

Not long after the people from the Law Enforcement Hall left, Senior Brother Bai Yi arrived.

This made Jiang Hao even more curious.

He also asked some questions, but most of them were about Ning Xuan.

Jiang Hao answered clearly.

Before he left, Bai Yi asked, “Junior Brother, you didn’t ask anyone for help?”

Jiang Hao looked confused. He shook his head.

“That’s good.” Bai Yi left.

After a moment, Jiang Hao finally realized that Bai Yi was implying that he might have asked someone else to kill Yue Zhengxing Lian.

At that moment, Bai Yi found Ning Xuan.

“Senior Brother Bai, you’re looking for me?” Ning Xuan asked.

“I won’t beat around the bush,” Bai Yi said seriously. “Did you do it?”

Ning Xuan shook her head.

“No?” Bai Yi frowned. “This matter can be treated as very serious or something minor. The Heavenly Saint Sect brings great benefits. If they insist on investigating, it will be very bad for whoever did it.”

“Senior Brother Bai, you worry too much.” Ning Xuan shook her head.

It really wasn’t her.

She found that the other party was dead when she arrived.

Bai Yi frowned. If it wasn’t Ning Xuan, then who was it?

When he found out about it, it was already late into the night. He had been too late.

He didn’t know who might have done it.

That afternoon, Bai Yi was called to the Law Enforcement Hall.

He was temporarily in charge of a branch, so it wasn’t easy for the people of the Law Enforcement Hall to get hold of him.

However, he was also very curious about who killed Yue Zhengxing Lian.

Those who seemed to have a motive hadn’t done it.

He wondered if she had killed herself.

The next day, Jiang Hao heard something outrageous.

He heard that Yue Zhengxing Lian had been upset because someone had tried to steal her treasure, so she had committed suicide.

Jiang Hao was speechless.
