Chapter 158 - Confidence in a Match

Originally, it was Starpicker who had his reasons, but he never thought that Ling Xiao had come prepared.

"I do not know about this matter. It is purely my junior brother's wish to act, and it cannot represent the astrologer." As the head disciple of the astrologer, Zhai Xingzi naturally had to consider more for the sake of the gang.

After Ling Xiao heard this, he said coldly: "However, the Transcendent Daoist is still a member of your astrologer, this debt cannot just be because you don't know a single thing."

He could not help but raise his eyebrows and say: "Sect Master Ling, right now you are standing here perfectly fine, but my junior brother has disappeared without a trace, and also met with the Sect Master Ling. Could it be that the Sect Master Ling does not plan to take responsibility for this matter?"

"What a joke. Although your junior acted first, I have never remembered or tried to kill him. Could it be that I am responsible for letting him live?" Ling Xiao said with a cold snort.

"This …" Hearing that, Star Seizer was speechless for a moment. If Ling Xiao really did not kill Wu Chen, then it really did not have much to do with Ling Xiao anymore.

"Can Sect Master Ling tell me where did you last see my junior brother?" Starpicker asked.

After Ling Xiao heard this, he looked at Xingzi for a while before saying, "At the border of Dali, didn't you say that someone in the gang knew of the Dustsift's whereabouts?

After being reminded by Ling Xiao, Starpicker immediately came to a realization and quickly cupped his fists: "Thank you Sect Master Ling for your reminder!"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I hope that you can quickly find your junior brother."

"I will arrange it right away. Sect Master Ling, please rest for a while inside the sect." Starpicker said.

Ling Xiao knew that if he did not settle the matter of the Divine Wood King Cauldron with Starpicker, the other party would not let him go, so he nodded and said, "Alright."

Following that, Star Seizer brought Ling Xiao to a side room to rest, and then gave him the order to search.

Very quickly, Ling Xiao found out that Starpicker had found the astrologer disciple. In the end, the other party pretended to not know, and under Starpicker's interrogation, told him everything that she knew.

The purpose of this person was to leave a way out, or in case something were to happen, he would throw the blame at Ling Xiao or the Beggar Gangs.

Of course, after interrogating, Starpicker found out why Wu Chen stole the treasure, Divine Wood King Cauldron, to cause trouble for Ling Xiao. It seemed like someone was controlling the movement behind his back, agreeing to let Wu Chen take the throne, becoming the successor to the astrologer.

"The successor to the Sect Leader? How ridiculous, didn't he know that I was still alive? Even if something were to happen to me, the Sect Leader would definitely not let a person like him become their Sect Leader. " After listening to the astrologer disciple's reply, Starpicker was suddenly enraged.

But no matter how much he cursed, he still had to find him.

With a precise location, it was much easier to find.

Before long, a response came.

Not only did he get the news, he was also brought back. He was just a lifeless corpse.

Seeing the mangled body of the Transcendent Daoist, Starpicker felt like he had done something evil. He suppressed his disgust and said to the disciple beside him, "Quickly go and get Sect Master Ling over here!"

Ling Xiao rested quietly in the side room, not worried at all about what the other party would do to him.

Sure enough, disciples of the astrologer came over to invite him to the scene.

Seeing Ling Xiao's arrival, Starpicker pointed at the corpse in front of him and asked: "Sect Master Ling, how did my junior brother become like this?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Chen Zi, and said indifferently: "The Wu Chen's hands were badly mutilated, obviously because his body was not well, and I caught it myself. At that time, when I left, your junior had a very strange expression, as though something was drilling inside his body, but because something happened, I did not care, and had already left, since your astrologer's cultivation method was very sinister."

After pausing for a moment, Ling Xiao looked at Chen Zi's neck, and said: "Then there's a wound on your junior brother's neck, it's obviously his throat was cut open by someone, it seems like someone had gone to clean up the mess, your junior brother took someone else's benefit to kill me, but he failed and returned. Since the other party felt that we cannot keep him, we took the chance to kill him."

After listening to Ling Xiao's analysis, Starpicker became silent, and then said: "Why does Sect Master Ling have such an analysis? Is it really impossible for the people from your Beggar Gangs to take action? "

"What's the point of killing a mortal? Furthermore, the wound on the Transcendent Daoist's neck is very peculiar, it is obviously not a weapon from the Central Plains. Could it be that I have such great ability and am proficient in the Eighteen Martial Arts and weapons, even bringing along weapons other than those from the Central Plains? " Ling Xiao said with a cold snort.

"Also, the Transcendent Daoist absorbed a large amount of Yin Qi, so he cannot control his own body. Sooner or later, he will explode to his death, or else, his entire body would be unable to take it anymore and kill himself. You have also trained in Great Manipulation of Transformation, so you should know it better than I do. " Ling Xiao added.

Starpicker immediately looked at Ling Xiao with a strange expression. Obviously, he did not expect Ling Xiao, an outsider from the astrologer, to actually be able to analyze it so clearly.

"Sect Master Ling, who exactly are you? Why do you know the name of my astrologer's Great Manipulation of Transformation, and even the consequences of absorbing it inappropriately? " Starpicker asked with a serious expression.

After Ling Xiao heard this, he laughed and said, "What? Could it be that your astrologer's Great Manipulation of Transformation is some sort of secret? Of course I found out about it from the records and rumors. As for whether or not I understand the Great Manipulation of Transformation, I'm afraid I have no reason to be honest with you about that. "

He realized that logic wouldn't work against Ling Xiao, and furthermore, based on the current facts, it was obvious that he was in the wrong. Whether it was the evidence or deduction, the death of the Transcendent Daoist had nothing to do with Ling Xiao at all.

Ling Xiao looked at the silent Starpicker, and knew what he was thinking in his heart.

But in truth, Ling Xiao did not kill Wu Chen. At that time, because he did not know the real reason behind Wu Chen attacking him, he did not fight too hard.

But from the looks of it, Ling Xiao's worry at that time was not wrong, because at that time, it was not only Chen Zi who was present.
