By the next day, he heard the urgent and continuous ringing of bells and drums.

Within the Blood Killing Sect's Outer Disciple rules, the relentless urgent ringing of bells and drums of the Blood Killing Sect indicated a major event, and all the Outer Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect must hasten to a vast training ground of the Outer Sect.

Duan Gujin exhaled and followed the other Outer Disciples to the vast training ground.

He had anticipated this outcome after he killed Wu Wenhua the day before.

Before he returned to the Blood Killing Sect, he had destroyed all the evidence that could be destroyed, and he hid the remaining Elixir Pills, Dark Weapons, and secret manuals in a very secretive place beneath the mountain of the Blood Killing Sect.

After he had taken care of everything, he then returned to the Blood Killing Sect.

After returning to the Blood Killing Sect, he also utilized his Spiritual Power to create a false image in his mind that depicted him in seclusion for the past two days.

He knew that Wu Wencai, Wu Wenhua's father, would definitely seek revenge for his son; the opposition would definitely carefully investigate which Outer Disciples were in seclusion last night and who had gone out.

Duan Gujin used his Spiritual Power to create the false image in his mind, a capability not every Martial Artist possessed.

For a Martial Artist to do as Duan Gujin did, they would need to be profoundly skilled in Spiritual Power and also knowledgeable in Secret Techniques.

And such Secret Techniques are known and can be performed by only a few Martial Artists.

And Duan Gujin was one of these few Martial Artists.

Indeed, soon a large group of the Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect arrived at the vast training ground.

A few 15 minutes after Duan Gujin killed Wu Wenhua, Wu Wencai learned through a Communication Spirit Talisman that his son had been murdered.

The image transmitted back through the Spirit Talisman showed a man dressed in the Blood Killing Sect Outer Disciple attire killing his son.

Upon receiving this news, Wu Wenhua immediately sent people to look for his son.

Soon, they discovered the corpse of Wu Wenhua.

Upon examination, Wu Wencai learned that his son had been killed by a slit throat.

Before his death, his son's meridians were entirely destroyed by the opponent, and all his belongings were missing.

Wu Wencai was enraged and swiftly approached the other twelve Inner Sect Disciples.

Through interrogation, he learned that last night, his son, Wu Wenhua, had gathered those twelve Inner Sect Disciples to search for an Outer Disciple who had killed a giant python at the foot of the mountain.

Wu Wencai put all the pieces together and guessed the whole situation.

He surmised it was very likely that his son encountered that Outer Disciple who killed the giant python this morning, and they fought, but his son was overpowered and killed by the opponent.

After killing his son, the opponent also stole all the belongings on his son's body.

"My child!"

Wu Wencai became immensely sorrowful, and as a father, naturally sought revenge for his son.

In his heart, all the blame lay with the murderer; his son was completely innocent.

"That murderer is utterly despicable! Not only did he kill my son's pet, but he also killed my son and took all his possessions!"

In his rage, Wu Wencai reported the matter to the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect.

After careful inquiry, the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect learned that this incident was not Wu Wenhua's fault, but rather there was a murderous and looting criminal hidden among the Blood Killing Sect.

Naturally, the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect also didn't want such a poisonous snake to exist amongst the Outer Disciples, hence, he ordered Wu Wenhua to utilize all available resources to find the real culprit.

"Everyone, this morning, an appalling murder occurred within our Blood Killing Sect. The murderer killed the son of a very important figure in our sect, committing murder for loot, which is intolerable! Everyone, to find the real culprit, I ask you to open up your Divine Souls for inspection by these elders! Anyone who refuses to open their Divine Souls for our inspection will be considered as an accomplice to the murderer and will face the severest punishment!"

Hearing this news, all the Outer Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect drew a sharp breath.

"Turns out it's about finding the murderer!"

Some martial artists thought of the possibility that a cold-blooded murderer stood among them, which kindled a sense of fear in their hearts.

They had no idea about what exactly had happened this morning, and they also knew they were definitely not a murderer.

Even though some martial artists knew that forcibly searching their memories from last night could harm their Divine Soul, they thought since it was the higher-ups from Blood Killing Sect conducting the investigation, they should cooperate.

Therefore, none of the Outer Disciples present spoke out against it; they didn't want to be mistakenly regarded as accomplices to murder, despite having done nothing.

Duan Gujin sneered inwardly, having anticipated this outcome long ago.

He was fully prepared and was not afraid of the Sect Elders from the Blood Killing Sect searching his memories.

Time slowly passed.

An hour later, an elder from the Blood Killing Sect asked Duan Gujin to relax so he could search his memories.

Duan Gujin let the elder search his memories, but during the search of the memories from the day before yesterday and yesterday morning, he released a false image.

The elder then saw that Duan Gujin had been in seclusion the day before yesterday, and only left his room at noon yesterday, then went out to complete a mission assigned by his master, only returning in the evening.

"He's not the murderer!"

The elder quickly allowed Duan Gujin to leave, and then proceeded to check the memories of the other Outer Disciples.

A day passed, and every single Outer Disciple present had their memories from the day before yesterday and yesterday checked.

However, to Wu Wencai's surprise, they did not find the murderer among these disciples.

The elders discussed for a while and felt that the real murderer might have just worn a uniform of an Outer Disciple of Blood Killing Sect, and they were mistaken.

"Very likely, that Outer Disciple uniform was a smokescreen intentionally released by the murderer!"

The elders swiftly came to this conclusion after much discussion.

"Right! Right! I examined my son's injuries and found that the perpetrator's skills are certainly above my son's. The Inner Disciples, logically, shouldn't be his match, and since there was only one person, my son should not have lost a one-on-one fight with an Outer Disciple!"

Wu Wencai's eyes widened as he pondered over this possibility.

The more they thought, the more the elders present felt that the murderer was extremely cunning, and this must be a thoroughly planned conspiracy specifically aimed to kill Wu Wenhua.

The elders analyzed various possibilities and felt it very likely that a master targeted Wu Wenhua for an assassination.

"Check who held grudges with my son before!"

"Check, within Blood Killing Sect, who could defeat my son within a few dozen moves?"

Wu Wencai immediately ordered the elders from the Punishment Hall to investigate.

After sending them out for the investigation, Wu Wencai's expression turned gloomy.

He knew that the elders who joined him today in interrogating those Outer Disciples were his confidants, all very powerful.

Forcibly reading the recent memories of these Outer Disciples was not difficult for them.

Moreover, today's memory-searching of those Outer Disciples was arbitrarily assigned by him, and he trusted those elders wouldn't have deceived him.

After tonight's discussion, Wu Wenhua affirmed one thing: his son's death was definitely a conspiracy.

He had offended many within the Blood Killing Sect before; it was not out of the question that someone aimed for revenge specifically targeting his son Wu Wenhua.

The opponent deliberately killed Wu Wenhua's beloved pet, the giant black python, lured him to the mountain base of the Blood Killing Sect, and then murdered Wu Wenhua.

The reason the opponent deliberately wore the uniform of an Outer Disciple from Blood Killing Sect was to mislead him and make it hard to identify the real murderer.
