Chapter 883 – The Surging of the River Also Cannot Wash Away This Hatred (2/2)

Boom! The river was torn open, its waters surging into the night sky like a waterfall in reverse.

An unimaginable strength had blasted through the water's surface and created a hole around half a zhang in radius, so deep that one could see the damp mud of the river bottom.

Wuqiong Bi shrieked and lunged towards the hole. She hovered three feet above the water and looked within.

With just a glance, she nearly fell unconscious. If not for Bie Yanghong's prompt arrival, she might have fallen into the river.

The bottom of the hole was naught but mud. One would not detect anything strange with just one's eyes, but given the cultivation levels of Wuqiong Bi and Bie Yanghong, coupled with the link forged by blood, they naturally noticed a problem.

In this mud were a few extremely fine grains of ice. Crucially, these grains of ice still carried extremely faint remnants of Qi.

This Qi was the brand on Bie Tianxin's soul that Wuqiong Bi and Bie Yanghong had personally planted in their son's sea of consciousness before he went traveling.

Wuqiong Bi sensed this ever-weakening Qi, her body fiercely trembling in her monstrous wrath. She began to sob in grief.

”Just who is so vicious! I'll kill you! Who is it!”

Her grief-stricken sobs echoed off both walls of the canyon. A gale suddenly kicked up, flattening the forests, sending the apes and monkeys fleeing. Countless pillars of water suddenly shot up from the river, killing innumerable fish.

A look of profound grief appeared on Bie Yanghong's face, but he was far more cool-headed than his wife. His sleeve lightly waved, taking in those ice crystals at the bottom of the river.

Only ten-some grains remained of the ice crystals, each of them about the size of a bean. If they had been just a little later, just a few more hours, the river would have melted these ice crystals away. The Qi would have dispersed, so utterly swallowed by the river that even Divine Domain experts like them would have found it impossible to sense.

The criminal was truly a most methodical and scheming individual.

When she thought of this, Wuqiong Bi felt even more rage.

Bie Yanghong's expression suddenly turned grave, as he had sensed an extremely cold Qi from these ice crystals.

Wuqiong Bi was in a fury, so she sensed it somewhat later. Her expression quickly morphed, her eyes so filled with hate that they seemed about to bite someone.

”Black Dragon! Chen Changsheng!”

People like them could naturally determine that what had killed Bie Tianxin and destroyed almost all evidence of his body was the Deep Freeze Dragon Breath of the Black Frost Dragons.

All the world knew that the Dragon race had not stepped onto the continent for one thousand years. And only truly important people knew that the only dragon on the continent at present was the current Pope's Protector, the Black Frost Dragon that had been imprisoned under New North Bridge for more than six centuries.

If that Black Frost Dragon had killed Bie Tianxin, then it was probably related to Chen Changsheng.

Bie Yanghong thought for a few moments, then said, ”Wait for me here. I will continue to investigate.”

So saying, he left the river and appeared at some other place in the canyon. He roused a fisherman and asked what had happened in the last few days.

If one fisherman didn't know, he awakened another. After an hour, he finally found a fisherman who said that he had seen something strange take place on the river.

Some green-winged monster had snatched up a person and flown over the river.

”Nanke! That Demon Princess!” Wuqiong Bi hollered, her eyes red. ”Chen Changsheng has kept her at his side all this time; who doesn't know this? He holds a grudge against my son. They met in the mountains, and with no one around, he murdered him! He will pay with his life!”

Bie Yanghong had an exhausted expression, remaining silent.

He felt that something was not right.

In this canyon river far from civilization, why had his son encountered Chen Changsheng's party?

Such a probability was simply far too small.

After a while, he and Wuqiong Bi went to Fengyang City. They learned of the tea party that would be held here tomorrow, as well as the events of the daytime.

Xiao Zhang had visited.

Chen Changsheng had truly been here.
