C13 Borrowing a knife to kill someone

Deng Xiong observed Deng Shu's corpse carefully, and then searched around carefully, when a disciple suddenly shouted: "Master, there is a corpse here."

Deng Xiong rushed over and shouted: "Green Face Ghost!"

The disciple asked doubtfully, "Master, who is this Green Face Ghost?"

Deng Xiong was still in disbelief, and he muttered to himself: "Green Face Ghost is indeed Green Face Immortal, he is an elder of the Yun Family and he calls himself Green Face Immortal. However, everyone in the outside world calls him Green Face Ghost. He's already in the Worldly Immortal Stage, who killed him? "

The disciple dared not speak. Deng Xiong asked: "Is this how you discovered it?"

The disciple hurriedly nodded: "Yes master, I have not moved."

Deng Xiong hesitated for a moment, "Don't move here, let the Yun Family's people check for themselves. Go and look around the area to see if there's anything abnormal."

Deng Xiong walked around the battlefield, looking at some blood stains, he frowned. Suddenly, he asked: "Did any of you notice Feng Ji and the rest?"

More than twenty disciples shook their heads as Deng Xiong shouted loudly, "Not good, Bai Zhenyun, the rhinoceros' horn is mine." His body soared into the sky, like an arrow leaving the bow, as he rushed towards Beast City. A voice came from afar, "You all return to the Beast City immediately."

Deng Xiong chased after him with all his might. Along the way, not a single trace of Bai Zhenyun could be found, not even the one hundred and eighth battalion. Finally, seven days later, he caught up to Feng Ji and the others at the edge of the primeval forest. Glancing at the injured person lying on the mount, Deng Xiong asked: "Where is Commander Bai?"

Feng Ji bowed: "Greetings Elder Deng, we don't know where the Lord Commander is. When we were attacked by the strong warriors, we felt that we had no fate with the rhinoceros horn, and retreated."

Deng Xiong squinted his eyes: "Without the commander's order, who allowed you to retreat?"

Feng Ji said, "Before we left, the Lord Commander had instructed us that this operation will be done on our own, whether it be when we enter or when we withdraw, we will decide for ourselves. After going deep into the primeval forest, the Commander then separated from us to search for rhinoceros' essence. "

Deng Xiong swept his eyes across the injured people again. "Who injured you?"

Feng Ji said: "The assailant was masked and dressed in black, and was extremely vicious. Feng Ji was ashamed, but he did not recognize who it was."

Deng Xiong was startled. "A single person attacked you?"

Feng Ji said awkwardly: "It's one person."

Deng Xiong buried his head and thought, looking at the Beast City not far away, then looking at the primeval forest behind him, he said, "You guys go back to the city and rest your injuries first."

Feng Ji saluted and then led the group to continue walking forward. Zhou Ming laughed and asked: Why is Elder Deng returning? Have you already obtained a rhinoceros' horn? "

Deng Xiong coldly snorted. "There's no need to explain to you just what this old man's actions are."

With that, his figure soared into the sky, heading straight towards Beast City. Arriving at the north gate, Deng Xiong landed and asked: "Has Commander Bai entered the city yet?"

One of the ghost immortal replied: "Reporting to Elder Deng, Commander Bai entered the city ten days ago."

"What?" Deng Xiong stomped his feet and said: "Lend me your mount."

Even Deng Xiong did not dare to go against the prohibition of flying in the Beast City, he snatched away a panther spirit and rushed straight to Li He's residence.

After passing through Dragon Bridge, Temple of Ascension, and Shen Ji Hall, Deng Xiong arrived at Li He's study: "Patriarch, is Bai Zhenyun back yet?"

Li He glanced at the travel Deng Xiong and asked: "What is it?"

Only then did Deng Xiong realize his impoliteness, and anxiously said: "Patriarch, please forgive me, this matter is too serious, I wonder if Commander Bai Zhenyun is back yet?"

Li He replied: "I don't know."

Deng Xiong thought for a while and said, "I suspect that Commander Bai has already obtained a rhinoceros horn."

Li He was startled, and asked happily: "Really?"

Deng Xiong answered: "It should be true. After the matter with the Stellar Gorge, I have my suspicions towards Commander Bai. On this trip to the Primeval Forest, I'll send Deng Shu to follow behind the 108th Battalion day and night to see if we can find any clues. Unexpectedly, Deng Shu's body was discovered half a month ago, and there were even traces of the Yun Family Green Face Ghost's body being found nearby, along with the remnants of the great battle. Your subordinate conjectures that Commander Bai has already obtained a rhinoceros' horn. "

Li He stood up: Green Face Ghost? He's here too, what makes you think that Bai Zhenyun has already gotten the rhinoceros's horn? "

Deng Xiong said: "The Yun family and us are at odds, but this time we sent the Green Face Ghost deep into the primeval forest, obviously we have to obtain the rhinoceros' horn no matter the cost."

Li He nodded his head, and continued to speak: "The place where Green Face Ghost was killed is extremely close to where Deng Shu was killed. When he was killed, half of his body was underground and half of his body was on the ground. Right now, the great battle should have already ended, and when he had just come out, or perhaps he had already come out and discovered the enemy's situation, he would be dead when he hid once again. Therefore, I guessed that either the Green Face Ghost or the 108th Battalion had found a Rhinoceros Essence. Both sides had engaged in a fierce battle and Bai Zhenyun had eventually found a rhinoceros horn. "

Li He asked: "Your deduction, don't you feel that it's forced?"

Deng Xiong said: "This subordinate still has other clues. I asked the gatekeeping ghost immortal at the north gate, and they said that Bai Zhenyun had returned to Beast City ten days ago. And right now, the various commanders and the Grand Commanders are still searching for rhinoceros' essence in the depths of the primeval forest. I don't believe that Commander Bai is not interested in rhinoceroses' horn. "

Li He asked: "Even if what you said is the truth, Bai Zhenyun also failed to accomplish anything."

Deng Xiong said: "This subordinate had already reported before, that Deng Shu was killed after the great battle. I think this subordinate must have found some clues and got killed by Bai Zhenyun."

Li He pondered for a long time and asked: "You must think that the matter regarding Stellar Gorge has something to do with Bai Zhenyun? Now, if Bai Zhenyun really obtains the rhinoceros' horn, do you think we can still hold him accountable? "

Deng Xiong stared blankly before replying, "If he had already received it, why did he return to the Beast City for ten days and not report it to the patriarch?"

Li He said: "Alright, I will bring him over."

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Zhenyun was led to the study room and bowed: "Bai Zhenyun greets the Patriarch and Protector Deng."

Li He asked: "Commander Bai, Guard Deng said that you have obtained a rhinoceros' horn, is that true?"

Bai Zhenyun's eyes widened, staring at Deng Xiong who had an expression of disbelief: "Guard Deng, it's actually you?"

Deng Xiong was startled, and felt that something was wrong. Li He looked at the two people, and said to Bai Zhenyun: "How can you speak to Elder Deng in such a manner?"

Bai Zhenyun bowed and replied, "Patriarch, you might not know this, but a month ago I met a white rhinoceros essence. It had only just chopped off its rhinoceros horn when it was attacked by a black clothed man. We didn't dare to contact anyone along the way, so we carefully went into hiding. We only returned to Beast City ten days ago, and I don't know how Protector Deng found out that I obtained the rhinoceros's horn.

Li He looked at Deng Xiong upon hearing what he said and scolded him, "Bastard, how dare you set a trap for me."

Bai Zhenyun asked: "I just want to find out how Protector Deng knew that I got the rhinoceros' horn, what kind of trap is that?"

Deng Xiong knew that he had been schemed against, and said angrily: "Sure enough, it was you who caused mischief in Stellar Gorge, I can only ask you this one question, since you have already been back in Beast City for ten days, why haven't you reported this to the patriarch?"

Li He didn't say anything, he only glanced at Bai Zhenyun, and said: "One month ago, there were only Shinto camp, Elder Deng, and Elder Yang in the Primordial Continent. Before I figured out who attacked me, how could they have dared to show themselves?"

Li He laughed: Even I don't believe you?

Bai Zhenyun said: "This subordinate does not dare, I have just arrived and my achievements are not even comparable to the various commanders, great commanders, elders Deng and Yang, how would I dare to state this in front of the patriarch, what if the person who attacked me does not appear, and how am I supposed to handle this?"

Li He nodded and told Bai Zhenyun what he had speculated, and asked: "How does Commander Bai explain the cause of Deng Shu's death?"

Bai Zhenyun was stunned. "If Deng Shu was behind the camp, Elder Deng would of course know, that when I first entered the depths of the primeval forest, I had already separated from my brothers in the 108th Battalion. Who knows if Deng Shu is a follower of his subordinate or the brother of the 108th Battalion. "

He fell into the pit Bai Zhenyun had dug, but didn't know how to explain himself. He said: "After Commander Bai and Feng Ji's group split up, I ordered Deng Shu to follow them, because I believe that Commander Bai will always reunite with the main group. Within the territory of the middle ranked ferocious beasts, a middle ranked cultivator of the ghost immortal will not be able to kill a rhinoceros' essence alone."

Bai Zhenyun said: "I felt that my cultivation was on the verge of a breakthrough, thus I went out to train, and it was only because I had advanced to the high level ghost immortal that I was able to kill the rhinoceros spirit, and also escaped from my attacker by a fluke."

Li He and Deng Xiong were both startled. Li He asked: "Commander Bai broke through?"

Bai Zhenyun replied, "Yes."

Li He laughed: "Commander Bai, you think too much. Since you have arrived at Beast City, you should have told me that I will make the decision with you. Where have you been these past ten days?"

Bai Zhenyun said: "I went to Mercenary Guild, and stayed in the cave the entire time."

Li He was shocked, "What are you doing in the Mercenary Guild?"

Bai Zhenyun said: "After being attacked, I do not trust anyone, and I do not wish for the Patriarch to suspect anyone because of me. He then asked them to inform the Lei Clan to send someone to retrieve the rhinoceros' horn, and to bring the bounty along as well. I thought that if my assailant hadn't jumped out when the Ray family arrived, I wouldn't talk about it anymore. Then, together with the Patriarch, hand over the rhinoceros's horn to the Lei Clan. "

Deng Xiong's heart slowly sank, he knew that there was nothing he could say. In order to make contact with the Lei Family, not to mention his current speculation, even if Li He had any clues, he would not let him off.

With a plop, he kneeled on the ground. "Patriarch, please spare me, please spare me, the person who attacked Commander Bai is definitely not me. I deduced this based on the miserable deaths of Deng Shu and Green Face Ghost."

Bai Zhenyun said coldly: "Green Face Ghost is a protector of the Yun Family Elders in Full Moon City. With a Worldly Immortal cultivation, does Elder Deng think that I can kill him?"

Li He slapped the table: "Deng Xiong, you're too presumptuous. You actually fought with this junior for benefits, and even used such despicable methods, to the point where you couldn't even rationalize yourself. Do you really think I'm a three year old child?"

Before she finished her sentence, a golden scissors flew out towards Deng Xiong. Deng Xiong was frightened out of his wits, he spat out a long spear towards Li He. With a wave of his hands, multiple magic treasures appeared, protecting his body as he began to flee.

Li He was so angry that he started laughing, "You actually dare to fight back in my study?"

The golden scissors turned and cut the long spear into two. Deng Xiong, who had just escaped to the entrance, was stopped by three figures and fought into a ball.

Li He's golden scissors did not stop moving, after breaking a few protective magical equipment s in a row, he was cut into two pieces.

Everything happened so fast, Bai Zhenyun never thought that Li He would actually be able to kill Deng Xiong, and never expected that Deng Xiong would not even be able to last ten rounds against him.

Bai Zhenyun was momentarily at a loss as to what to do: "Patriarch, this, this is too severe isn't it?"

Li He laughed coldly: "In order to give his unfilial descendants their fiefdom, he is becoming more and more presumptuous. Don't worry, I will take care of his family. Right, how long until the Lei Family arrives? "

Bai Zhenyun said anxiously: "The people from Mercenary Guild said that it will take a total of twenty days. There are still ten days left."

Li He nodded his head: "Although you have already advanced to the high level ghost immortal, I can't call you Master anymore. In the future, when you reach Tianlong Academy, you will become an elite disciple of the Lei Family, and your status will far surpass this commander that I have bestowed upon you. If there is anything that you need my help with, just send someone to inform me. I will definitely help you gain a foothold in the Lei Family. You don't have to worry about Cyan Bull Town either, no one dares to cause trouble there. "

Li He's decisiveness caused Bai Zhenyun to be shocked, and he anxiously replied: Thank you, Patriarch, this subordinate understands. Ten days later, this subordinate would like to invite patriarch to Stellar Gorge to receive the Lei Family. "
