Chapter 473 Something Happened
Early the next morning, Su Ren and his companion followed Taohua Miss's group out of the city.
There were two more men in a group of women, and since this was a group of peach blossom girls, it naturally attracted countless passers-by to watch.
Ignoring these people, Taohua took out a small boat after everyone left the city.
The boat swelled in the wind and turned into a flower boat covered with flowers.
"Gentlemen, please!"
After everyone got on the flower boat, it turned into a stream of light and sailed towards the horizon.
"Miss Taohua, I forgot to ask yesterday, who are the participants in this sword fighting competition?"
Ning Feiyu sat beside the flower boat, half lying there with his legs crossed, looking very comfortable.
Seeing him like this, Taohua frowned slightly and said:
"Any sword cultivator who meets the requirements can participate."
"However, the main guests invited are the geniuses from large sects such as Qingyun Sword Sect and Yunxiao Sword Sect."
"Didn't Tongtianjianshan of Wandao Immortal Palace invite you?"
Taohua shook her head.
"Wandao Immortal Palace is currently busy and has no time to come."
"Oh? May I ask what's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ren also listened attentively.
"It's not a big deal. You should have just returned from the outside world, right?"
"Basically everyone in the entire Heaven Realm knows about this."
"The Wushuang Alliance, which once dominated the Heaven Realm, has made a comeback and has already fought with the Wandao Immortal Palace once."
"However, we at Baihua Tower don't know the exact number of casualties on both sides."
Hearing this, Ning Feiyu frowned slightly and then quickly relaxed his brows.
If Su Ren hadn't glanced at him intentionally, he would never have noticed this detail.
"Then Miss Taohua, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"
"Of course it's Wandao Immortal Palace. They won back then and they can win now."
Ning Feiyu nodded and looked at Su Ren again.
"Brother Su, what do you think?"
"I don't know. Who wins or loses has nothing to do with me."
"Hahaha, Brother Su is quite clear-headed. I'm afraid that Brother Su only has your beloved in his eyes."
Su Ren didn't respond.
Ning Feiyu felt bored for a moment, so he looked at Miss Taohua and asked whether the Nanli Sword Sect had established a Saint, whether the Saint was good-looking, and how many female cultivators there were in the Nanli Sword Sect.
Taohua felt a headache because of his questions.
This guy either asks about money or women, he's a real gangster.
If it weren't for the Feihua Order, she would have kicked Ning Feiyu out long ago.
After a day of travel, the group finally arrived at the small town at the foot of Nanli Jianzong Mountain.
Miss Taohua said to them:
"The gate of Nanli Sword Sect is not open yet. We will stay in this small town first and then go up the mountain in two days."
There was no Baihua Tower stationed in this town, so the few people could only choose to stay in the inn in the city.
As the sword-fighting tournament was approaching, the originally sparsely populated town became bustling.
Su Ren and his group arrived relatively early and got a few upper rooms.
The money was paid by Peach Blossom Girl.
It was not until he saw Ning Feiyu's contented look that Su Ren understood why Ning Feiyu had to travel with Taohua Girl.
Because this way he can eat and drink with the people in Baihualou without spending any money.
"Oh, I forgot!"
Ning Feiyu suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I don't have a sword yet."
"Brother Su, would you like to accompany me to the town to buy a sword?"
"No."
Su Ren went straight to his room.
"Peach Blossom Girl?"
Taohua rolled her eyes at him and went upstairs.
"If you don't want to accompany me, then don't. I'll buy it myself."
Ning Feiyu muttered to himself as he walked out of the inn.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, something big happened in the town, and almost everyone in the town knew about it.
A young man was found dead on the street. His body was pale and his eyes were wide open, as if he had been extremely frightened before his death.
If it were just an ordinary person, this matter wouldn't have become known to everyone.
But this person's identity is not ordinary.
"The Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect."
Taohua, Su Ren and Ning Feiyu stood in the crowd and said as they looked at the corpse lying on the ground.
At this time, the people around were also talking.
"The Yunxiao Sword Sect hasn't arrived yet, so how come their Saint Son came first, and what he came with is a corpse."
"Who on earth is so bold as to dare to kill the Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect? Does he not want to live anymore?"
"I heard that the Wushuang Alliance has become active again recently. Could it be them who did this?"
"The Wushuang Alliance doesn't have any grudges against the Yunxiao Sword Sect, right? They do have some grudges against the Nanli Sword Sect. Could it be that they want to frame us?"
"I don't think so. The Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect has no sword wounds or other injuries on his body. It looks more like he was frightened to death."
"How is this possible? The Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect is at least close to the upper eighth realm, right? What could scare him to death?"
Everyone was looking at the corpse and guessing, when a cold shout was heard.
“Get out of the way!”
A black-faced man came over with a group of people.
"It's the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Nanli Sword Sect, the Black-Faced Ghost Zhang Kui!"
When everyone saw Zhang Kui, they quickly made way for him to come in.
After Zhang Kui and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall came in, they squatted beside the corpse and examined it carefully, and found that it was indeed the Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect.
Zhang Kui couldn't help but frown.
It’s not a big deal if ordinary people die here. Their Nanli Sword Sect is strong enough and there is no need to give any explanation. No one dares to do anything to them.
But the person who died now was not an ordinary person, but the future heir of a large sect with similar power to theirs, the sect's holy son.
The Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect died on the territory of their Nanli Sword Sect.
Even if it has nothing to do with them, they still have to give an explanation.
Otherwise, the relationship between the two groups would be completely strained.
After Zhang Kui examined the body, he looked at the people around him and asked:
"When was the body found? Who found it?"
"Replying to the elder, the disciple discovered it when it was almost dawn."
A thin-looking man stood up and said.
Zhang Kui took a look at the clothes he was wearing and realized that he was an outer disciple of the sect who stayed in the town.
"Tell me everything you know."
"Yes, Elder."
The man recalled: "I originally wanted to go to the lake outside the town to practice sword for a while. As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard a scream."
"My disciples followed the sound and found him lying here. When I found him, he was already dead."
After listening, Zhang Kui asked again: "Did you find anyone suspicious?"
The man shook his head.
Zhang Kui once again glanced at the corpse of the Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect, and then instructed his disciples:
"Bring his body back to the sect."
After doing all this, Zhang Kui looked at the crowd and said:
"I believe that all of you are here to participate in the Nanli Sword Sect's sword contest. If anyone has information about the murder of the Yunxiao Sword Sect's Holy Son, you can come to me. If the information is true, the Nanli Sword Sect will definitely reward you handsomely!"
"Also, tomorrow is the day of the Nanli Sword Sect's sword-fighting competition. Please do not move around during this period to avoid accidents. We will send people to strengthen patrols around this town to ensure your safety."
After Zhang Kui finished speaking, he looked at the outer disciple and said:
"Come back to the sect with me."
After Zhang Kui and his men left, everyone dispersed with their own discussions.
The Holy Son of the Yunxiao Sword Sect died here, and no one noticed it, which made everyone a little uneasy.
Ning Feiyu looked at the Nanli Sword Sect's group going away and asked Miss Taohua beside him:
"Miss Taohua, with your knowledge of Baihua Tower, you should know how this person died, right?"
