After a thorough search, finding nothing amiss, Lu Fan cupped his fists and chuckled, "I apologize for any offense earlier. It's just part of my duty!"
"Well, have you finished your inspection?"
A cold smile touched Yunshui Tianshen's lips as he said, "Remember, you only have three days. If you don't find the real culprit within three days, Qingyun Mountain will not stand by idly!"
"It doesn't matter. Yuqingshan has a divine pill that can neutralize the poison of the Other Shore Flower. It's likely that Dapeng will be cured soon!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "By then, he himself will know better than anyone who wanted to harm him!"
The people from Qingyun Mountain were stunned by this statement, clearly not expecting Dapeng to still be alive, let alone to be cured.
"How is that possible? You mustn't be deceiving us!"
Yunshui Tianshen stated directly, "The Other Shore Flower is a potent poison in Beiyuan, not something an ordinary person can control. Even with miraculous medicine, it might not be effective!"
"Nothing is impossible. When Yuqingshan promises something, we always deliver!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly and turned to leave, as if everything was under his control.
Witnessing this, many disciples of Qingyun Mountain looked suspicious and surprised, unsure if Lu Fan was telling the truth.
Leaving the quarters of the Qingyun Mountain group, Qi Tiancheng inexplicably asked, "When did Yuqingshan acquire such a divine pill? Why don't even I know about it?"
"Because it doesn't exist!"
Lu Fan shrugged and smiled, "I was just tricking them. You didn't actually believe it, did you?"
"You little rascal, you even fooled me!"
Qi Tiancheng shot him a glare, "Since it doesn't exist, why did you say that?"
"By saying that, someone is bound to reveal themselves!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "Tonight, we'll set a trap and catch the culprit. Then we'll know who it is!"
"This is a rather good plan. Someone wanting to use Yuqingshan or Dapeng, upon learning he's about to be saved, will surely fear exposure and act rashly!"
Qi Tiancheng nodded repeatedly, a smile appearing on his lips, "This way, we can apprehend them!"
Lu Fan nodded as well; this was a crucial part of his plan, and it was indeed meticulously crafted.
After explaining this plan to the Enforcement Tianshen, the latter smiled, showing his approval.
"Although this plan has no issues, tonight, the Enforcement Tianshen will likely need to be present personally!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "Otherwise, I might not be able to suppress them!"
"What do you mean by that?" the Enforcement Tianshen frowned. "Are you suspecting either Jiuchi Tianshen or Yunshui Tianshen?"
"I don't have such suspicions, but anything is possible. Being fully prepared is the only way to deal with it," Lu Fan said seriously.
"Good boy, well said!"
The Enforcement Tianshen nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his tone, showing his regard for Lu Fan.
Meanwhile, among the Qingyun Mountain group, a sense of unease settled.
If Lu Fan was right and the culprit was someone from Qingyun Mountain, it would mean they could be assassinated at any moment.
After all, a spy from Beiyuan had infiltrated Qingyun Mountain; this was no trivial matter.
"I'm going out for some air!"
Yunshui Tianshen declared, "Yuqingshan is truly something. Such a major incident has occurred, yet they act as if nothing has happened!"
As he spoke, Yunshui Tianshen left their quarters and headed towards the summit of Yuqingshan.
After Yunshui Tianshen departed, Beimuo spoke, "Master, why don't we leave Yuqingshan first and gather the numerous Tianshen of Qingyun Mountain? Then we can come back to Yuqingshan with greater confidence to suppress them all."
"Why suppress them?"
Jiuchi Tianshen glared at him, "Do you really think Yuqingshan can't find out who did it!"
"Of course, it's someone from Yuqingshan!" Beimuo stated righteously.
"You are still too young!"
Jiuchi Tianshen shook his head, "This is Yuqingshan's territory. Why would Yuqingshan do this? It would be like shooting themselves in the foot, antagonizing the entire Qingyun Mountain just to kill one disciple?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Master, you mean the problem is within our own ranks?"
Beimuo's expression changed, and he frowned, even finding it hard to believe.
If the problem was indeed internal, then who could it be?
At the same time, within a courtyard in Yuqingshan, the corpse of Dapeng was placed.
Even a divine body could not survive the poison of the Other Shore Flower, demonstrating its terrifying power.
Around the courtyard, Yuqingshan experts were hidden, and even three Tianshen-level cultivators were stationed, preparing to lure the culprit into a trap.
"Why haven't they come yet? Could it be that it wasn't someone from Qingyun Mountain who did it?" Qi Tiancheng frowned, his concern growing.
After all, this matter was of great importance. If the root cause couldn't be identified, even Yuqingshan would face trouble.
"Don't rush, let's wait a bit longer!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, his eyes serious. "The final moment hasn't arrived yet!"
Qi Tiancheng stopped his chatter and watched silently, eager to know who possessed the Other Shore Flower and wielded such power.
After a while, a figure in black broke into the courtyard and looked at Dapeng's corpse with confusion.
As the figure approached, they realized Dapeng was already dead, with no trace of life force on him.
"Not good!"
The person in black exclaimed, leaping up as if to escape, clearly realizing they had fallen into a trap.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The Enforcement Tianshen's voice was icy as he blocked the path, his gaze sharp.
The other Tianshen also moved, their aura formidable, their eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
"Isn't that Yunshui Tianshen from Qingyun Mountain?"
Many disciples of Yuqingshan exclaimed in surprise, their conversations filled with disbelief.
They had never expected the culprit to be a Tianshen from Qingyun Mountain; it was beyond everyone's imagination.
Even the Enforcement Tianshen was baffled. Why would Yunshui Tianshen, a respected Tianshen, poison and kill a disciple?
More importantly, if he had intended to act, he wouldn't have waited until they arrived at Yuqingshan.
"It seems my suspicions were correct!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "The reason you used the Other Shore Flower in Yuqingshan was to stir up conflict between the two mountain sects!"
"Ridiculous! I was merely curious if Yuqingshan had an antidote for the Other Shore Flower, and that's why I came," Yunshui Tianshen feigned composure. "Now, trying to frame me with this crime, I don't think that's very appropriate, is it!"
"The evidence is undeniable. What's inappropriate about it!" Lu Fan shrugged. "I believe even Qingyun Mountain can clearly see who the real culprit is, without needing our intervention!"
