He thought about it for a while and felt that this possibility was very high.

His mind raced as he considered how to deal with the stalker behind him.

Divine Sense expanded outward, locking onto the young man.

Moments later, he felt a sense of familiarity with the young man; it seemed they had met somewhere before.

After a bit of thought, he quickly connected the young man's features with Zhu Xiao.

"That young man looks somewhat similar to Zhu Xiao. Yes, the young man must have some kind of relation to Zhu Xiao."

Duan Gujin thought for a moment and felt that it was very likely the young man had come seeking revenge.

After all, in the eyes of the young man, Zhu Xiao wouldn't have disappeared without reason.

And before Zhu Xiao had gone to assassinate him, both Luoluo and Gu Tianzhen should have been aware of it.

Now with Zhu Xiao missing without a trace, neither found dead nor alive, Luoluo and Gu Tianzhen would naturally pin Zhu Xiao's disappearance on him.

Duan Gujin's mind spun quickly as he analyzed the current situation.

He reasoned that to defeat the young man, he had two strategies: one was to use poisoned long arrows to shoot the young man.

The other was to attack the young man with a long stick.

"It seems I need to lure him to a different place!"

After figuring out his method of response, he started to leave the small town.

The young man did not realize Duan Gujin had already detected his stalking, continuing to follow behind Duan Gujin and watch his every move.

Once all preparations were made, Duan Gujin purposely led the young man to a nearby desolate mountain.

Divine Sense expanded outward, scouting the surroundings; he did not find any human activity nearby.

The young man followed behind Duan Gujin; however, the next moment, he was terrified to find the target he had been closely following had disappeared.

Divine Sense sent out, he looked all around, trying to find Duan Gujin's whereabouts.

However, what baffled him was that he could not find where Duan Gujin was hiding. It was as if the other party had vanished into thin air right in front of him, and he couldn't find any trace of Duan Gujin at all.

"What's going on here?"

Sweat formed on his forehead, and he realized he had underestimated Duan Gujin's abilities. He quickly pulled out a longsword from his storage ring, holding it in front of him to guard against a sneak attack from Duan Gujin.

"Who are you?"

Deciding not to continue the cat and mouse game with the young man, Duan Gujin, who was hidden in the shadows, walked straight out.

At this moment, with a bow in his left hand and an arrow drawn with the right, Divine Sense locked onto the young man in front.

If the young man in front made any move, he would not hesitate to shoot the long arrows in his hand.

The battle between them was on the edge of breaking out.

Seeing Duan Gujin emerge from his hiding spot, the young man realized that he had completely underestimated Duan Gujin's strength.

"So he had discovered me long ago!"

Seeing the blue Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul appearing above Duan Gujin's head, the young man's eyes frantically darted about.

"So his Cultivation is at the Martial Master Seventh Layer! And it's a blue Martial Soul!"

Now that his identity had been exposed, he felt no need to continue circling around with Duan Gujin.

Holding the longsword in front of him, he asked: "I'm asking you, did you kill my younger brother Zhu Xiao?"

When Duan Gujin heard the name Zhu Xiao, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

As expected, the person had come for him.

"Zhu Xiao? I have some impression of this name; I remember now, I've heard the name before."

Duan Gujin said indifferently.

"I ask you, did you kill my younger brother Zhu Xiao? Why did you kill my brother?"

The young man questioned.

"I am also an Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect, and my current cultivation is at the Martial Sect Third Level. Don't you deceive me! If you do so, I'll make your life worse than death!"

Duan Gujin replied coldly: "First of all, I wasn't raised to be scared easily, so don't try to scare me! Now I remember who Zhu Xiao is. Is the Zhu Xiao you mentioned acquainted with a woman called Luoluo and a man named Gu Tianzhen?"

"Yes! You know them?"

The young man nodded eagerly.

"I don't know them, and honestly, I wouldn't want to know them if I could help it! I remember, over two months ago, I was playing outside with some other Outer Disciples and didn't return until very late. In the middle of the night, I had to pee urgently, so I ran into a dense forest to relieve myself! Unexpectedly, I saw a man and a woman in the distance making love naked. I was quite excited as I watched, originally not knowing who they were, but then I moved closer and heard their conversation only to find out that the woman was called Luoluo, and the man Gu Tianzhen!"

"They were doing that at the time?"

The young man's interest was piqued.

"Yes. Later, I saw another man rush over, who was extremely agitated, and attempted to kill Gu Tianzhen. Then I heard the woman call the man Zhu Xiao, and that's when I realized that his name was Zhu Xiao. The two men started fighting, and as a result, the man named Zhu Xiao was killed. Afterwards, the two of them threw the man's body down the mountain! I was terrified at the time but they discovered me, fortunately, I ran fast and was not caught!"

Duan Gujin sneered inwardly, his mind racing as he quickly sketched out a story in his head.

Then, he told the young man the story he had thought up.

"Moreover, I shouted loudly and drew the attention of many people, which is why they didn't kill me! Thinking about it, my heart is still thumping wildly to this day! I intended to report this matter to the Outer Elder, but it seems the Outer Elders were bribed by them, they threatened me to never speak of this event, otherwise, they would cripple my cultivation and expel me from the Blood Killing Sect!"

After hearing Duan Gujin's words, the young man inhaled sharply, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Previously, he believed what Luoluo and Gu Tianzhen said.

The two of them warned him that the murderer Duan Gujin was very powerful and advised him to be cautious.

"Could it be that after my younger brother discovered their affair, they became enraged with shame and killed him?"

The young man was skeptical about what Duan Gujin said.

"You're not lying to me, right?"

The young man tilted his head and queried Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin could tell that the young man was starting to waver from his question.

His eyes flickered as he asked, "What exactly did they tell you? Tell me."

The young man thought for a moment, then relayed to Duan Gujin what the two people had told him.

Duan Gujin sneered after listening and said: "My cultivation is merely at the Martial Master Realm, how could I possibly provoke three experts at the Martial Sect Realm? If you were in my shoes, would you provoke three Martial Sect Realm experts? Let me tell you the truth: they are deceiving you, they just want to use you as a pawn to carry out their murder. Once I'm dead, no one in this world will know the true story of what happened that night! Your brother was killed by Gu Tianzhen!"

Duan Gujin said decisively with a serious face.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The young man was still doubtful.

"If you don't believe it, then forget it! I'm not one to be messed with lightly! Since those two willingly provoked me, I will certainly strike back! If you continue to risk your life for them, then just be their fool!"

Duan Gujin responded coldly.

The young man fell silent after hearing Duan Gujin's words.

"You go back and secretly investigate, and you will find out."

Duan Gujin continued coldly.

The young man's eyes darted around; he did not know whether to believe Duan Gujin's words or not.

After analyzing it, he felt that there was no flaw in what Duan Gujin said.

He thought carefully about his brother's character and believed that given Luoluo's beauty, his brother would have been attracted to her.

After all, Luoluo was a young and beautiful woman.

His brother was interested in Luoluo, but Luoluo was already involved with Gu Tianzhen.

If his brother had indeed witnessed them being intimate, he would certainly have been enraged.

It was not uncommon for two men to fight over a woman, leading to bloody incidents in the Blood Killing Sect.
