“I’m fine. Have a good rest. I’ll think of a way to find the murderer!”
As he walked out, Wen Kui paused in his steps. It was obvious that he found it hard to believe the murderer that Zhu Wuwan had mentioned.
Zhang Bozhi was a veteran Double Cave Pill Refiner in the Dragon Flame Grotto. His pill refinement skills had already reached the peak of the intermediate top-grade. His talent could be said to be astonishing. Moreover, it was not only in pill refinement skills, but even his talent in cultivation was extremely astonishing.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of many high-level Alchemy Grandmasters, Zhang Bozhi was a seed of Alchemy Grandmasters that was ten times or a hundred times better than Zhu Wuyang.
His cultivation was at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, only half a step away from the late-Nascent Soul stage. Coupled with his achievements in alchemy, Zhang Bozhi, who was only a thousand years old, was very famous in the Dragon Flame Grotto. He was also the representative of the younger generation in the Dragon Flame Grotto.
The most important thing was that Wen Kui only valued him. Zhang Bozhi was also brought into the Dragon Flame Grotto by Wen Kui.
The moment he heard Zhu Wuyang say that the murderer was Zhang Bozhi, Wen Kui was stunned and almost refuted.
However, when he heard Zhu Wuwan’s resolute words and Wen Kui’s hatred for the spies from the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect, he reluctantly believed it.
But even so, Wen Kui would not rashly attack Zhang Bozhi. He would only secretly investigate again. At the same time, he would also keep an eye on Zhang Bozhi to prevent him from escaping when he realized that something was wrong.
Looking at Wen Kui’s receding figure, Zhu Wanhao, who also had some understanding of Zhang Bozhi’s situation, transmitted her voice again. “”If we don’t get rid of this tumor as soon as possible, it will take someone’s life sooner or later!”
Wen Kui only stopped and turned around to nod at Zhu Wuan before walking towards the Dragon Flame Pill King’s residence. As a Soul Formation late stage cultivator and a pill refining grandmaster, Wen Kui only had the right to speak to the Dragon Flame Pill King directly.
At the same time, a piece of news that shook the entire Dragon Flame Grotto came from the panic-stricken Peng Yingzhi.
” What? You’re saying that Master Zhu was poisoned by someone? And it was the Ten Day Soul-Scattering Water, the poison that is said to have no cure? ”
” It’s the Ten Day Soul Scattering Water again. In the past few hundred years, at least several alchemy prodigies of our Dragon Flame Grotto have died from the Ten Day Soul Scattering Water. I’m afraid Master Zhu is in danger this time. ”
” Damn the Medicine God Sect and Sacred Flame Sect. Their noses are as sharp as dogs. Master Zhu has just revealed some of his teaching abilities, and they can’t wait to make a move. Aren’t they too much? ”
” There must be a traitor among us who betrayed Master Zhu. Otherwise, how could the spies of the Medicine God Sect and Sacred Flame Sect find out so quickly? ”
” I hope that my lords can investigate this matter thoroughly, find those spies and traitors, and cut them into pieces! ”
Accompanying this news was the fact that the enemy’s ability to poison was too strong. Even the poisoned Zhu Wuyang did not know when he had poisoned her, let alone who had poisoned her. However, Zhu Wuyang’s personal female disciple, Peng Yingzhi, was very suspicious.
Moreover, the poisoned Zhu Wuyang was not in a good condition. She was already lying in bed and could not teach. She might be finished at any time. The famous Zhu Wuyang, Master Zhu, was about to become a meteor. After a moment of blooming, it would be extinguished forever.
Peng Yingzhi was already under house arrest. Before the murderer was caught, she probably wouldn’t be able to come out for a short period of time.
Zhang Bozhi, who was quite concerned about this, soon received the news. He learned that Zhu Wuyang also did not know who the poisoner was. Wen Kui could only investigate everywhere like before, but after there was no result, he finally let go of his worries.
Zhu Wuan wasn’t the only one who had been poisoned by Zhang Bozhi with the Ten Day Soul-dispersing Water. Before this, there were two other geniuses from Nine Dragon Mountain. One was from Dragon Flame Grotto, and the other was from a mountain peak near Dragon Flame Grotto.
As for the other geniuses and geniuses of Nine Dragon Mountain who were poisoned to death, they were the work of other spies and traitors. They could not let one person take action often, or they would be exposed too easily.
“Take your time. Even if I give you another ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years…Time, you still can’t find the murderer, just like those previous cases.”
Zhang Bozhi smiled and left his residence with a smile. He was prepared to go to the restaurant in Dragon Flame Grotto to eat and drink to reward himself for killing another top-notch prodigy of Dragon Flame Grotto.
When the news reached the sect, he should be able to obtain a considerable reward and points.
In the next few days, Zhang Bozhi’s life was as usual. He refined pills when he should, ate when he should, and was surprised when he should…His performance was no different from before. He was gentle and hardworking, talented and humble.
However, Zhang Bozhi had no idea that a net had already enveloped him. He had vaguely found some clues. Although it was not enough as evidence, it was enough to be suspected.
In addition to Zhu Wuwan’s extremely certain confession, the higher-ups of Dragon Flame Grotto had to investigate seriously.
Fortunately, he had finally found something. After all, the heavens were watching. Zhang Bozhi had killed two geniuses of Nine Dragon Mountain in a row over the years and had also sent out a lot of important information. How could he not leave behind a trace?
To be able to leave only a trace under such circumstances, and it was not directly used as evidence, Zhang Bozhi’s actions were already very careful and powerful.
Just as Wen Kui was still hesitating, wondering if he should capture Zhang Bozhi, the genius, Dragon Flame Pill King suddenly gave an order, asking Wen Kui to cut the Gordian knot and capture Zhang Bozhi first. He wanted to see if he could give himself away during this period.
After investigating Zhang Bozhi for only a few days, a hidden force seemed to have sensed something and was involved in this matter. It was unknown if this force was a force that Zhang Bozhi had a good relationship with in Dragon Flame Grotto, or if it was a force from the Medicine God Sect or the Sacred Flame Sect.
If Zhang Bozhi were to notice anything unusual at this time, it would be very difficult to find any clues.
Since that was the case, he would force Zhang Bozhi to give himself away.
That evening, Zhang Bozhi, who knew nothing, walked out of the Alchemy Grotto happily. He was prepared to drink some wine and eat some delicious food. However, just as he opened his personal small alchemy room, he saw several cultivators standing at the door.
Five peak Nascent Soul Realm old monsters and Wen Kuizhi, a Late Divine Transformation Realm expert.
“Elder Wen, is there something you need from me?” Zhang Bozhi was stunned, and his heart thumped. However, he still looked calm and surprised on the surface. His performance was flawless.”Could it be that Elder Wen has not seen me for a long time and is preparing to have a good drink with me? Coincidentally, I’m also preparing to go to the Drunken Dragon to drink some of its signature wine.”
” Elder Wen hasn’t been to Dragon’s Drunk for a long time, right? Tonight, it’s my treat. We won’t go home until we’re drunk! “
