IPPWR Chapter 67 Grandmaster (19) At the apex of the Jianghu part 1

For a period of time after that, like Chi Wanwan wanted, the Xuanyue Sect was indeed in great trouble.

Yan Feichi died, and the secret of the immortal stone also disappeared from the world with his death. And all the evidence points to Yi Tinglan, the saint of Xuanyue Sect whom he met last.

Everyone has reason to suspect that whether it is the whereabouts of the immortal stone itself or the secret related to the immortal stone, the Xuanyue Sect saint must know the answer.

Zhou Qinghe, a smart man, firmly believed in this. He used his intelligence and ingenuity to reason: “The murderer did it very cleanly. Except for the Tianyuan sword technique, he did not leave useful clues – and the Tianyuan swordsmanship is unique.”

At first glance, this swordsmanship immediately reminded people of Xuanyue Sect. It was almost too deliberate, making it seem like a plant. As long as Yi Tinglan makes a reasonable excuse, everyone will first eliminate the suspicion of Xuanyue Sect.

……If this is the method used by Xuanyue Sect to seem innocent, it’s quite brilliant.

Secondly, this sword technique is related to Chu Tiannan, the best swordsman in the world. Logically speaking, Chu Tiannan is also suspicious. But there is no conclusive evidence. Who dares to find the world’s best swordsman who lives in seclusion and question him?

The murderer deliberately used Chu Tiannan as a shield, which made it increasingly difficult for others.

In this way, the whole matter has become an inexplicable knot, an unsolved case.

Thinking that he had understood the whole story, Zhou Qinghe couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: “I don’t know whether young master Yan is lucky or unlucky. I’m afraid even the murderer didn’t expect that before young master Yan of the escort bureau died, he happened to send me a letter… In this way, even though he died, his death would not be inexplicable.”

Without that letter, all this would have been an unsolvable mystery. But the meaning of the letter clearly showed that “Young master Yan of the escort bureau” had already told Yi Tinglan the secret of the immortal stone. In this case, there is a motive for murder and silence. Everything points to the Xuanyue Sect.

If you first locate the murderer and then perform reverse inference on the entire process, everything becomes very simple. Even those traces of Tianyuan’s swordsmanship now seem to have become Xuanyue Sect’s self-directed and self-acted means in an attempt to eliminate suspicion.

After his detailed analysis, even those who were confused about the series of events could not help but suddenly achieve realization, even if their brains were not very bright.

As a result, Yi Tinglan and the Xuanyue Sect behind her suddenly became the target of public criticism.

This time, Yi Tinglan came down the mountain, almost two years earlier than in the original fate plot. Now, whether in terms of martial arts or intelligence, she is far less powerful than in the future, like an unpolished raw stone.

Right now, Yi Tinglan’s handling methods were still being honed, and she was directly hit by Yuan Buwei’s dimension-reducing blow. It’s like encountering a big boss right out of the beginner’s village, being hit by a black pot from the sky, making you dizzy and confused.

Moreover, there are two people, Left Protector An Yan and Great chivalrous hero Yu, who cooperate with each other both internally and externally.

The former is originally from a demon sect, and is best at causing trouble in secret. He is proficient in slander, framing, and sowing discord; The latter was caught by Yuan Buwei and forced to be obedient to An Yan’s command, always stirring up trouble at the critical moment in secret, and lighting up all the skills of a pig teammate.

With such a godly opponent and pig teammate, after several waves of trouble, even though the Xuanyue Sect tried its best to clear away the suspicion, it failed again and again. Which in turn aggravated other sects’ suspicion and vigilance towards the Xuanyue Sect.

In such a situation, Yi Tinglan was so angry that she almost couldn’t maintain her elegant and proud demeanour.

As time passed, when the ships of the Taibei Chamber of Commerce were sailing on the Luo River, a serious internal conflict had already occurred among the righteous sects. In order to unveil the secrets of the immortal stone, everyone appeared to be friendly on the surface, but secretly they fought endlessly. And An Yan was also secretly stirring up discord.

When everyone found out that many disciples would either go missing or die every now and then, and the deceased would often die from the most skilled techniques of the other sects… In this situation, even if they knew that something might be wrong, for the sake of the face of the sect, they could not bear it anymore – the contradiction that had been hidden in the dark had finally completely intensified!

The six orthodox sects, apart from having a consistent stance when facing the demon school, are not always so harmonious. Each has their own stance, and soon these six sects split into three factions, leading to intense conflicts between them.

And among them, the Xuanyue Sect was isolated and helpless. The other five sects, regardless of whether they are in harmony with each other, tacitly unite to isolate and suppress the Xuanyue Sect, who seems to have obtained the secret of the Immortal Stone.

With their actions, rumours in the martial arts world have become increasingly widespread. Moreover, Chi Wanwan, a woman who dreams of the destruction of the Xuanyue Sect, is behind the scenes, helping to spread rumours further. So much so that in a short period of time, the whole world knew about the deeds of the Xuanyue sect’s forceful seizure of the Immortal Stone and killing of people to silence them.

The reputation accumulated over nearly a thousand years has been tainted with indelible stains.

The Luoshui River flows leisurely, with big boats sailing through the wind and waves, pushing through the rolling waves. Standing on the deck, one can only see the sky far and wide.

Suddenly, a burst of crazy laughter erupted from the cabin, filled with ecstasy.

“… Bitch, you also have today!”

When the laughter dissipated, it turned into cold mockery.

In the cabin, Chi Wanwan rubbed the letters in her hand, looking at the words on them. The mixture of resentment and joy in her eyes suddenly added a touch of gloom to her once extremely beautiful face.

This letter was sent by Left Protector An Yan. The content of the letter is quite simple.

The internal strife among the six righteous sects became increasingly fierce. Yi Tinglan had a low rank and insufficient cultivation, and her vision and methods were ultimately inferior to those old foxes. Going down the mountain not only failed to promote her reputation in the martial arts world, but also damaged the reputation of the Xuanyue Sect.

The news reached Xuanyue Sect, and the sect leader Rong Qingyue couldn’t let it go. A letter was sent to Anyang, inviting the leaders of other major sects to come to the Xuanyue Sect for a clear explaination, clarifying the Xuanyue Sect’s innocence.

Even such a simple message is enough to make Chi Wanwan ecstatic.

She fantasised in her heart about how furious Rong Qingyue, who was far away in the Xuanyue Sect, was when she was covered in a black pot that fell from the sky, how depressed she was when pondering solutions, and how she lowered her head to send such a letter of submission to the leaders of various sects of the righteous path… These scenes vividly played out in Chi Wanwan’s mind, making her feel like she was in heaven, and even her porcelain white face was flushed with deep intoxication, so much so that she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

However, this is far from enough

She wanted Rong Qingyue to witness the collapse of the Xuanyue Sect in front of her eyes, and all her efforts were poured down the drain. Only in this way can she truly relieve the hatred in her heart!

After reading this letter from An Yan, she read the second one after.

This is written by the head of the Guihan Sect, who belongs to the three branches of the Demon school. This letter was sent to many, including Chi Wanwan.

——The Immortal Stone has appeared in the world, and the Demon school can no longer sit still.

The Guihan sect was originally the mastermind behind Tianyi Pavilion. At first, the Tianyi Pavilion was comissioned with the task of destroying the Jiangnan escort bureau. They only knew that Young master Yan of the escort bureau had a treasure in his hand. It wasn’t until great chivalrous hero Yu, who was obeying Yuan Buwei took the initiative to break the news that they knew that the treasure was actually the immortal stone.
