Chapter 179

“The Flower Wine Monk begged for mercy on his knees. The fourth clan head was compassionate and kind, intending to spare his life. However the Flower Wink Monk suddenly launched a sneak attack, and the clan head became enraged, killing the Flower. Wine Monk in place. However, due to the severe injuries from the sneak attack, he died not long after. Unfortunately, members of the demon's path were indeed dangerous and unworthy of good…. “

However, as Tie Ruo Nan read this content, his eyes slowly dimmed.

“Sadly, this Flower Wine Monk died on the spot and could not leave a legacy. If he could leave a legacy, it would be perfect to explain everything,” The young girl sighed inwardly.

However he did not give up and continued flipping through the records of the Gu Yue clan, until the time was up and Gu Yue Yao Ji rushed out.

Fang Zheng welcomed Tie's father and son outside the clan pavilion, “Is there a discovery?”

Tie Xue Leng was speechless while Tie Ruo Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Fang Zheng continued, “I just thought of something that might help. The elder brother and Chi faction worked quite closely, and the elder of the Chi Gu faction Yue Chi Lian had once defended him in front of everyone. Miss Tie, do you think this is? The liquor worm could have been secretly handed over by elder Chi Lian to my elder brother? “

“Fraction Chi?” Tie Ruo Nan frowned.

“Yes. The Chi and Mo Faction was the most influential faction of our Gu Yue clan before the wolf wave,” Fang Zheng explained.

How did Fang Yuan get involved with the Chi faction? Tie Ruo Nan pondered this.

He started to feel a headache; this was his first case and he was very confident at first but when he actually started to do so, he felt it was filled with difficulties.

When he sees his father solving such cases, it is as if success is guaranteed; all mysteries are solved by methodical and orderly arrangements. However, he realizes how difficult it is to solve a case when it comes to his turn.

It seemed that there was no trace sometimes while all kinds of strange clues seemed to appear, causing Tie Ruo Nan to be on the edge of reason.

It seemed like he was covered in a thick fog and he had no idea how close or far he was from the truth.

What clue about this Chi faction is useful?

Tie Ruo Nan could not help but feel lost, and he subconsciously looked at his father.

“Dad should have found some clues, right?” At this moment, the young girl's admiration for her father deepened.

“If it was my father, this case should have been settled. I am far from my father's level. But even if I fail, as long as father is here, the truth will be revealed and his killer will be punished.” Tie Ruo Nan felt embarrassed but also felt proud.

With Tie Xue Leng here, he was not worried that the criminal could escape.

But the young girl quickly shook her head, becoming angry. The anger is against itself.

“Ruo Nan, you are worthless. Aren't you thinking of surpassing father? How can you surpass him if you have the mentality of always relying on him!?”

“Ruo Nan, have fun, you can do it!” The young girl pursed her lips, inwardly encouraging herself.

His spirit is back boiling.

He decided to overthrow the previous conjecture and restart it.

“If Fang Yuan did not get the Liquor worm from the inheritance and get it from someone else, then this Chi faction would be the biggest suspect. However, why would the Chi faction pay attention to ordinary students with C grade talent and secretly give him the Liquor worm? “

“What does Fang Yuan have so that the Chi faction feels it is worth investing in him? Because he was Fang Zheng's brother? No, it's almost negligible. Wait a minute, it might not be the Chi Faction that took the initiative to invest in him. There was another possibility, and it was because Fang Yuan was blackmailing them! “

“If so, what did Fang Yuan have on them to make them hold back and obediently compromise with the student who was not yet Master Gu?”

Tie Ruo Nan racked his brain and an answer seemed to gradually appear in his mind.

But this answer blurred like the light behind a paper window. Tie Ruo Nan could sense his existence but he could not understand and understand it.

“Dad.” The young girl suddenly raised her head and looked at Tie Xue Leng, “I want to borrow Cactus Pointer”.

Tie Xue Leng replied in a relaxed voice, “The advice that the Cactus pointer gives is based on the information that the user has. This is only speculating on your behalf and may not be accurate. Are you sure you want to use it?”

The young girl nodded.

The cactus is a seed.

Tie Ruo Nan buried it in the ground then used his palm to press against the ground, transferring his white silver primordial essence to it.

After a few breaths, he pulled out his hand. Soon, they could see the ground loosening, and young shoots growing from it.

Newborn shoots are clear green, and appear very fragile. It quickly grows, becomes larger and larger, and its color changes from a fragile greenish yellow to a greenish greenish green, then eventually to a dark green.

It looks similar to a cactus. Its flesh was thick, its surface was covered in sharp black thorns and its entire body was lush green.

In a few moments, a flower bud appeared on its top.

Tie Ruo Nan stretched out his finger and gently plucked this flower bud. When the flower bud is removed, the cactus begins to turn gray and dies completely after a few seconds.

The cactus pointer is Gu consumption rank three.

Tie Ruo Nan carefully opened the flower bud.

The flower buds, however, were not wrapped in layers of petals, but rather looked like paper balls.

When Tie Ruo Nan actually opened it, it formed into a square and neat white paper.

There is only one word written on the white paper — ‘Joys’.

This word will mean nothing to others and may even sound silly. But to Tie Ruo Nan, that was a very important tip.

The cactus pointer was used like this; it gave insight to Master Gu who had racked their brains but could not advance forward. It pierced through the paper window and let Master Gu see the light.

“True, it's talent!” Tie Ruo Nan shouted.

He immediately issued a letter recording all the intel gathered by Jia Fu.

There was something written on this intel that explained the details of when and how much Gu Yue Chi Lian had bought Cleansing Water Gu.

“This is! I just explained this earlier and ignored it, not considering the underlying meaning. But the cactus pointer speculated on my name and gave me the answer. This Gu Water Purifier had only one use and it was to cleanse an alien primeval creature. “

“Why does Gu Yue Chi Lian need it? Hehe, this situation is too common and often happens in many clans. He should have bought this for the heir of the Chi faction. The heir of the Chi faction should have poor talent, so Gu Yue Chi Lian poured her primitive essence to increase her cultivation first. Gu Cleaning Water is necessary to eliminate the side effects of this action. Coincidentally, Fang Yuan discovered this secret and used it to blackmail the Chi faction, thus forcing them to compromise and giving him the Liquor worm. “

Tie Ruo Nan continued muttering his conjecture.

“Nona Tie, you are amazing. You can infer so many things with just this word! But Gu Yue Chi Cheng obviously has B-class talent,” Fang Zheng said.

“Class B talent? Hehe, does that mean it can't be fake? It's easy to prove this. We just need to check the Chi Cheng opening and the truth will come out.” Tie Ruo Nan's gaze burned as his mouth slightly curved upwards.

“It's inappropriate.” Tie Xue Leng, however, shook his head in disapproval.

If this truth was discovered, it would be a huge blow to the Chi faction, causing chaos among the higher-ups of Gu Yue village and causing political conflict.

Tie Xue Leng said, “We came here to solve a case and not to destroy the mess. In the end, we are outsiders and unless absolutely necessary, we cannot interfere in the politics of other clans.”

Tie Ruo Nan nodded, “Father is right. In addition to this, there are other ways to prove it. I remember that the clan used Photo-audio Gu to record every important sacrificial ritual. This is a traditional practice and I believe the Gu Yue clan is no exception. I want to refer to the image of the Resurrection Ceremony! “

. . .

“Heavenly investigator Tie, you keep moving for days and have gone through a lot of trouble to solve this case, please have some tea. As for the image you want to see, it was stored in a secret room within the underground cavern which was one of the forbidden areas of the clan. It would be troublesome to let the two of you in, but I've already sent someone to retrieve it. It will be here any minute longer, “Gu Yue Bo spoke with a smile .

“I have inconvenienced the clan leader,” said Tie Xue Leng politely.

Tie Ruo Nan and Gu Yue Fang Zheng stood to the side.

“Heavenly investigator Tie, if I might be so brave to ask for help ...” Gu Yue Bo suddenly said.

Tie Xue Leng's. “Oh? Please speak, clan leader.”

“This is the internal affair of our Qing Mao Mountain. My clan, the Bai clan and the Xiong clan have always been at a dead end but that changed due to the wave of wolves. Xiong Village dodged the wave of wolves with malicious intent and tried to utilize the wolves tides to weaken the other two clans. Previous negotiations for compensation with them ended in vain. Therefore, our three clans decided to hold a three clan tournament. Only Master Gu at the age of thirty or lower could participate in it, and it would decide the future strength of each clan. “

After saying this, Gu Yue Bo sighed, “Actually I already felt something strange with Fang Yuan a long time ago, but couldn't check it properly due to the wolf wave. If he really is the killer, my clan actually won “Not protect him. But I hope Divine Investigator Tie can delay this for a few days, because the three clans competition is held the day after tomorrow.”

Fang Yuan killed the entire old Wang family, but they were only ordinary humans and did not need to be investigated. What if he kills them? That's not a big deal.

However, if he really killed Jia Jin Sheng, then that would change everything.

If the Gu Yue clan still protected Fang Yuan, it meant becoming enemies with the Jia family and losing the opportunity to trade with the Jia family caravan again; it would even result in the Jia family's retaliation.

Organizations protect their inner members, but if benefits are threatened, the organization can easily give up one or two members for the greater good.

The earliest forms of organization date back to ancient times. Human clans gathered together to survive, borrowing power from each other to gather more food and divide their jobs to hunt more successfully.

The essence of any organization gets maximum benefits.

If one or two members stand in the way of the organization towards profit, then sacrificing them is natural.

Thus, even if there were very few elders in the Gu Yue clan right now, if there was a time they would have to leave Fang Yuan, the clan leader would not hesitate.

However, the day after tomorrow was a competition of three clans. The outcome of this competition will determine their future for the next few years as well as the allocation of profits from Qing Mao mountain. As a rank three Master Gu, Fang Yuan was an important combat power for the Gu Yue clan.

Just like the leader of the Bai clan, Gu Yue Bo also wanted to squeeze out Fang Yuan's maximum value.
