"Who?"
In the great hall, everyone's gaze focused on Aoling.
"This person is named Aotian, the son of the head of the Aojia family in Ning City!" Aoling replied. At the same time, she recounted everything that had happened at the Aotian Family Annual Meeting.
After hearing this, Chen Buren's eyes darkened as he said, "Oh? Then this Aotian truly deserves to die for daring to disrespect the authority of my Azure Cloud Sect!"
The others in the hall were somewhat speechless upon hearing Chen Buren's words. According to Aoling, that Aotian was merely an ordinary Innate Martial Artist; how could he have killed Murong Qian?
It was clear that Chen Buren was just protecting his disciple Aoling, as Aotian had embarrassed her. Thus, Chen Buren made such a statement.
Although everyone understood this, no one spoke up; only Azure Maple said, "In that case, Ling'er, you should take a few capable people to Ning City! However, don't go too far; after all, Ning City is in the western part of Fengyun Nation and is not under our jurisdiction. If we go too far, it might provoke dissatisfaction from other forces within Fengyun Nation."
Upon hearing this, Aoling immediately showed a look of joy and responded respectfully, "I will obey the sect master's orders!"
At this moment, Azure Sky also spoke up: "Aoling, since Aotian is highly suspected of being the one who killed Murong Qian, make sure not to let him off easily; give him a lesson he will never forget!"
Aoling smiled and said:
"Master Brother, don't worry, I will make Aotian pay for this!"
Azure Sky couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Finally, the gaze of the Qingyun Sect High-Ranking Officials was directed elsewhere. Those two men in black robes should be able to leave the northern part of Fengyun Nation safely.
"Although that Aotian is very likely the one who killed Murong Qian, those people at the auction could also be involved. That thin old man daring to take action is the best proof of that. Therefore, we must thoroughly investigate this matter!" Azure Maple said.
"Yes, Sect Master, I will take care of it right away!"
The Second Elder respectfully responded and then walked out.
Watching the Second Elder's departing figure, Azure Sky sighed lightly and said, "You two, I can only help you this much. I hope you can leave this den of dragons and tigers safely..."
At this moment, Azure Sky still did not know that one of the mysterious individuals was actually Aotian. If he had known, he would have wondered what his feelings would be.
He tried so hard to exonerate that man in black, only to inadvertently reveal the true culprit behind Murong Qian's murder.
And if Aotian were here, who knows if he would be left speechless...
In the cave, after Niu Geng had been screaming for an unknown amount of time, he finally quieted down. A powerful aura erupted from within Niu Geng, filling the entire cave.
The stones in the cave were crushed into countless fragments under this overwhelming force.
Upon sensing this aura, Aotian immediately showed a look of wild joy. He knew that this aura had already faintly surpassed what a Half-Step Human Spirit warrior could possess.
Suddenly, Niu Geng's tightly shut eyes snapped open, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his gaze before disappearing. Then, Niu Geng raised his fist and struck towards the cave wall.
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed, and then a ray of sunlight shone through the place where Niu Geng had struck.
It turned out that the thick wall of the cave had been punched through by Niu Geng, allowing sunlight to stream in through the hole he created.
Aotian felt both surprised and delighted upon seeing this. He understood that Niu Geng had successfully completed the refinement of Gourmet Blood.
Due to his Bloodline, Niu Geng had not cultivated Mystical Energy. However, this also meant that his physical strength was extremely powerful. After this refinement of Gourmet Blood, Niu Geng's physical body had undergone a qualitative leap.
At this moment, Niu Geng could face any warrior from the Human Spirit Realm without fear, relying solely on his physical strength.
As soon as Niu Geng opened his eyes, he saw Aotian standing beside him. After a brief pause, he asked in confusion, "Boss, have you taken the Triple Pill?"
Aotian shook his head slightly and replied, "Not yet; I'm just about to take it now!"
Niu Geng had been observing Aotian's expression and noticed a hint of relief in his eyes.
Niu Geng's strength at the Human Spirit Realm was enough to prove that he was not foolish.
Seeing the relief in Aotian's expression made him realize that his boss was concerned about him and feared that something might happen to him. That was why Aotian hadn't taken the Triple Pill but stayed by his side to prevent any accidents.
After understanding all this, Niu Geng couldn't help but feel a bit emotional and said:
"Boss, hurry and take the Triple Pill, I'll help protect you."
Aotian couldn't help but smile lightly after hearing this, but he didn't say much. He simply sat cross-legged and quietly took out the Triple Pill he had auctioned for in the Purple Gold Chamber from his Storage Ring.
The Triple Pill was entirely white, with a powerful medicinal energy surging within it, and a refreshing herbal fragrance filled the entire cave.
Looking at the Triple Pill in his hand, Aotian's eyes sparkled with intense heat.
The Triple Pill was a low-grade third-tier pill that could help an Innate Martial Artist enhance their cultivation by three levels. Although due to practicing the Dragon God Transformation Technique, breaking through was much more difficult for him than for ordinary martial artists, raising his cultivation by one or even two levels should not be a problem.
As long as he could elevate his cultivation by two levels, it would mean that reaching the Innate Peak was not far off. At that time, he would be able to enter the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone to search for his master and find Sister Yan.
Thinking of Aoyan made Aotian even more determined to become stronger.
Aoyan was from the Ice Phoenix Clan and was destined to achieve extraordinary things in the future. If he fell behind, he would truly be unworthy of such a talented woman.
Remembering Aoyan brought a gentle smile to Aotian's lips.
"Wow! Boss, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so creepily?!" At that moment, Niu Geng interrupted with a loud voice.
Instantly, Aotian snapped back to reality and shot a glare at Niu Geng before focusing his attention back on the Triple Pill.
Without further hesitation, Aotian swallowed the Triple Pill in one go.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it instantly transformed into a powerful medicinal force that rushed down Aotian's throat and quickly flowed into his meridians.
Wherever the medicinal force passed, Aotian felt a wave of comfort wash over him. It felt like enjoying ice cream on a scorching hot day.
As the medicinal power surged into Aotian's meridians, it began to operate along the route of the Dragon God Transformation Technique.
Meanwhile, Niu Geng was closely monitoring the surroundings, seemingly fearful that something might disturb Aotian.
At that moment, voices from outside the cave reached Niu Geng's ears, startling him.
"Great Protector, there seems to be a subtle energy fluctuation coming from that cave ahead."
"Oh? Let's go take a look!" a middle-aged voice echoed.
Soon after, Niu Geng heard a chaotic sound of footsteps approaching the cave.
Niu Geng understood that Aotian was at a critical moment and absolutely could not be disturbed. Otherwise, not only would he fail to break through, but he might even fall into madness.
Thinking this, Niu Geng suddenly stood up and quickly walked toward the entrance of the cave.
Upon reaching outside, Niu Geng immediately spotted five men dressed in blue robes.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a particularly prominent hooked nose.
Behind the middle-aged man stood four young men, all wearing matching attire, clearly from the same organization.
"Great Protector, this person seems to have just emerged from the cave!" one of the young men whispered to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's slightly cold gaze fixed firmly on Niu Geng as he spoke:
"Sir, I am the Azure Cloud Sect Grand Protector, and these individuals behind me are disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. May I ask who you are and why you are sneaking around in this cave?"
Before Niu Geng could respond, a young man standing behind the middle-aged man shouted:
"Great Protector, it doesn't matter who this person is! If he is sneaking around in our Azure Cloud Sect territory, he definitely isn't a good person. He might even be the real culprit behind the death of Murong Qian."
Niu Geng's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily:
"Everyone, I am an Inner Academy Student of Xuantian Academy. We have no conflict with each other; there is no need for you to come here and slander me!"
Upon hearing Niu Geng claim to be a student of Xuantian Academy, the members of Azure Cloud Sect were momentarily taken aback, then fell silent. They understood that even Azure Cloud Sect would not dare to provoke Xuantian Academy lightly.
The fact that this young man was an Inner Academy Student of Xuantian Academy complicated matters. If not handled properly, it could even lead to a war between the two major factions.
The Azure Cloud Sect Grand Protector frowned slightly and said:
"My friend, we do not know who else is in the cave; please bring them out as well. We only want to investigate whether you are related to the death of Murong Qian. If I have misunderstood, I will apologize to you later!"
Niu Geng took a small step forward, completely blocking the path to the cave and said:
"The person inside is my boss, and he is currently in a critical period of cultivation. You cannot disturb him."
Hearing Niu Geng's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit irritated. Although you are a student of Xuantian Academy, this is still the territory of Azure Cloud Sect. Your actions and words are rather arrogant!
"My friend, I hope you understand the situation. This is the territory of Azure Cloud Sect, not your Xuantian Academy. Right now, you all have suspicions regarding the death of Murong Qian, and you must come with me for investigation. If you are wronged, I will apologize to you later!"
The Great Protector's voice turned somewhat sinister, with considerable anger in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Niu Geng couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew that if he truly went for any investigation, given the deep foundation of Azure Cloud Sect, they might indeed uncover some clues.
Moreover, it is currently a critical period for the leader's breakthrough. If I have to undergo an investigation along with the leader, it would definitely disturb him, and my own troubles would be significant.
Niu Geng's eyes rolled around as if he was contemplating some strategy. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he spoke:
"Great Protector, I can accept your investigation, but it must wait until my leader comes out of the cave. During this time, you cannot disturb us."
The Great Protector fell silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Since this young man is from Xuantian Academy, it stands to reason that the person in the cave is also from Xuantian Academy. It wouldn't be good to create too much conflict with them. Once the person in the cave finishes their cultivation, I can then pressure them to return to Azure Cloud Sect for the investigation.
At this moment, the Great Protector felt a lot of frustration. Xuantian Academy is truly a giant; unless absolutely necessary, he really did not want to offend them.
However, he was also instructed by superiors to take full responsibility along with the Second Elder for Murong Qian's death. If he couldn't uncover the truth through his investigation, the anger of the sect leader and the elder would surely be directed at him.
Thinking of this made the Great Protector shiver.
Meanwhile, Niu Geng was filled with anger. If it weren't for the fear that taking action would disturb his leader's cultivation, I would have sent you all to Underworld Road right now!
