C59 (1/2)

”Senior apprentice-brother, Grand Master will send you to the Evil Warding Palace.” Mu Yangxin heard someone shouting outside his room while he was in a trance. He had just returned to his room and was about to go to bed.

”Alright, I'll be there immediately.” Mu Yangxin sat up, while picking up his clothes and putting them on, he replied outside the door.

Evil Repellent Hall

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy. Mu Hanlie sat on an armchair, fuming. There was a teacup on the table beside him, with the lid of the cup resting on it. Around the cup was some spilled tea. When Mu Hanlie saw Mu Yangxin, he angrily snorted at him. Seeing this, Mu Yangxin also felt a little helpless, this Senior Master was always stubborn and straightforward, he could not hide his feelings, and would only show it on his face when he sees someone in a bad mood. He did not know how to cover it up, and the way he acted now was definitely due to his suggestion of dissecting the sect leader's corpse. Mu Xianyang, who was standing on the other side of the hall, also looked a little angry, but it was not towards Mu Yangxin. He and his junior brother had a fight earlier, and in the end, he managed to convince Mu Hanlie to accept Mu Yangxin's suggestion: to dissect the sect leader's body.

When Mu Xianyang saw Mu Yangxin, he called him over, ”Yang Xin, I discussed it with your senior uncle and agreed to dissect the sect leader's corpse. Even if your second senior uncle isn't at Penglai, he probably won't object.”

Thus, the group went to the mourning hall and began their dissecting. The result was as they had expected. The darkness in sect leader's stomach must have been caused by the consumption of the Chu Grass.

”Martial Uncle, I've read in the Book of All Things that Chu grass is extremely rare and requires special skills to be excavated and preserved. Is that true?” Mu Yangxin raised a question.

”That's right, Chu Yao is a poisonous plant, but it can also be used as medicine. Many martial artists would risk their lives just to obtain one stalk of grass, but they would end up getting nothing in the end. There are less than ten people in this world who can afford to store it well.” Mu Han Yang stroked his beard. Amongst these ten people was the culprit who killed sect leader.

”What kind of people does Martial Uncle have?”

Not to mention the far, the closest to you would be your seniors, the Kunlun Sect's Hai Zhong Tian and the Demon King's Tao Tie Mo Yuanze. Demon King is a kind person, and has a good relationship with the sect leader, I don't think any poison would harm the sect leader. He was tactful, cautious, and didn't say anything to the point of death.

The death time of the Penglai sect leader was last night, and at that time, Master Bo Mu Liangyang and Mu Hanlie were discussing things in the Evil Warding Palace, which was personally witnessed by many disciples, including Mu Yangxin. The suspicions of the two could be temporarily dispelled, but Second Martial Aunt Mu Jin, hearing that had been wandering outside for the past month, was it possible for him to sneak back to come and kill the sect leader? And what motive did the Hai Zhongtian have to put the Penglai sect leader to death? Mu Yangxin could not figure out all these.

After a round of torture, the afternoon was almost over.

”Forget it, we can't come to a conclusion here. Go back and have your meal first.” Mu Xianyang called out to everyone in the hall.

After the group left, Mu Fengyang looked at Mu Hanlie, who was still standing in the same spot, and asked, ”Junior Brother, is there anything else?”

Mu Hanlie looked at the ground, deep in thought. His lips moved as if he had something to say. After waiting for a while, he swallowed his words and said, ”I'm fine.”

”What, always as straightforward as you. Is there anything that even I can't understand?” Mu Hanyang felt a little strange. What did his junior brother say to that? What was going on today?

”Senior brother, do you really suspect that second senior brother killed sect leader?” He and Mu Hanyang had been together since childhood. Although he had always been straightforward and could not find out the details of many things, he was, after all, his senior brother who had been with him for so many years. From the words he had said to everyone just now, he could tell that his eldest senior brother must have his suspicions towards his second senior brother.
