Chapter 2256: Clues Hard to Find

just don't have the talent. The characters I write never develop my own style.""Oh, how I wish I could get a calligraphy piece from Master Cai today!""You're so rich, why don't you just buy a painting...The attendant was helped up by a group of guards.

He looked at Fang Yu, fear in his eyes.

The attendant never expected that Fang Yu would possess such terrifying strength.

And, to dare kill someone inside the Lingjing Pavilion!

At this moment, he was filled with both shock and anger, and he felt utterly humiliated and disgraced.

On the street corner, seeing Fang Yu walk out of Lingjing Pavilion, the vendor who had just spoken to Fang Yu was full of shock.

And the old woman still smiled, not knowing whether she had seen clearly that Fang Yu was standing in the distance.

Fang Yu's divine sense swept over every cultivator present.

Yun Ning's Xuan coins and Spirit Crystals were all gone.

The other party's motive for killing was obviously to seize the Xuan coins and spirit crystals.

It's just... using only divine sense to search is difficult to find people with problems.

Besides, with so many trading areas, it's impossible to determine the time of Yun Ning and her deputy's deaths.

The murderer may have already disappeared.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu's eyes became even colder.

He hadn't expected it... Perhaps Yun Ning and her deputy hadn't expected it either, that inside the Lingjing Pavilion... they would be in danger of losing their lives.

This is the official place for KaiShan Alliance to exchange spirit crystals!

Later, considering what the attendant said and how he handled things... it wouldn't be hard to imagine someone taking a risk.

As long as you're not caught in the act, everything will be fine.

The allure of over ten thousand spirit crystals... is enough to tempt anyone into taking a risk.

"Alert the entire battalion and send our best warriors to capture this thief!" The steward roared, his face bloodied, a mix of disarray and ferocity.

Just during this class, a light curtain suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yu.

Within the veil, a man of refined bearing appeared.

His eyes were sharp, and his brow radiated immense authority.

At a glance, one can tell that this is also a high-ranking individual.

"Greetings, Master..."

Seeing the man in the light curtain, all the cultivators inside the Lingjing Pavilion knelt down on one knee.

including the seriously injured deacon.

Even the master of Lian Lingjing Pavilion has stepped forward!

Seeing this, the expressions of the many cultivators watching changed again, and the shock in their eyes was beyond words.

The master of Lingjing Pavilion, a figure of this level, is already considered middle-tier throughout the entire alliance!

Such a big shot, usually keeps to himself like a mythical creature. These ordinary cultivators barely get a glimpse of him.

Today, the master himself has appeared!

"This guy is done for..."

Many cultivators looked at Fang Yu, thinking to themselves.

Once you draw the attention of someone as high-ranking as your master, there's no turning back.

"I am Yuantou, the master of Lingjing Pavilion." The man in the light curtain stared at Fang Yu and said.

"Stop obstructing me, or more of your men will die." Fang Yu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many cultivators present changed once again.

Isn't this guy reckless

This is the master of Lingjing Pavilion, he dares to speak in this tone!

"You misunderstood. I'm not trying to stop you," Yuantou said, "I sincerely apologize to you. Just now... I have learned about the situation, but unfortunately, I am not currently at Lingjing Pavilion, so... I can't personally handle this matter."

"What do you want" Fang Yu's face was still cold as he asked.

"May I ask for your esteemed surname and name" Yuan Tao inquired.

"Fang Yu," Fang Yu replied.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, as the master of Lingjing Pavilion, I am deeply saddened by the death of your companion within our walls," Yuan Tao said. "I admit, this is indeed the responsibility of Lingjing Pavilion, and we need to take accountability for it."

At that, the crowd was in an uproar!

At this moment, they realized... a robbery and murder had taken place within the Lingjing Pavilion!

And Yuan Tao's proactive admission and apology left many cultivators feeling incredulous.

Is this giving in

“No matter how eloquently it's said, all I care about is finding the murderer.” Fang Yu said.

"I promise you, we will find the killer." Yuantou said.

"Master, he made his move inside the Lingjing Pavilion. As long as we report this to the higher-ups, we can definitely..."

At this moment, the gravely wounded deacon could no longer hold back and spoke.

"Shut up!"

But at this time, Yuantou's face darkened as he rebuked with a stern voice.

Hearing such a heavy tone, the attendant trembled all over and immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

"I understand Fang Dao-you's anger. The losses we have suffered are the price we should pay." Yuantou said in a deep voice, "There is no reason for us to blame anyone for this."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu looked at Yuan Tao, his eyes flickering slightly.

The lord's demeanor and words were basically a complete display of submission.

But that's not enough.

"Then give me an accurate answer, how long... will it take to find the killer" Fang Yu asked.

"Two hours, Daoist Fang. Give us two hours, and we will join forces with the trading district's guard to give you an explanation." Yuan Tao said with a serious expression.

"One hour," Fang Yu said. "I think, if you truly want to find the murderer, it shouldn't take too long."

"...Fine," Yuantou replied.

And at this moment, all the surrounding cultivators were stunned.

They never expected that the appearance of the Lingjing Pavilion's master would lead to such a development.

Instead of taking Fang Yu down, she agreed to Fang Yu's request and promised to find the culprit within an hour...

Why is this

Even if Fang Yu performs exceptionally well, he is still just an ordinary cultivator.

In the trading zone, one who commits an act of violence should be beheaded publicly as per the Alliance's regulations!

However… Lord Yuantou did not do so. Instead, he appeased Fangyu and kept things quiet.

Why is this

……

Soon, the cultivators gathered in front of Lingjing Pavilion were dispersed.

And the entire trading district was also cordoned off.

The place where the Lingjing Pavilion was destroyed quickly recovered to normal through the barrier, and Fang Yu was invited to the third floor of the Lingjing Pavilion to wait for the result.

Fang Yu, of course, would not sit here and wait.

He released his divine sense, spreading it throughout the entire trading district.

Fang Yu wanted to see with his own eyes how Lingjing Pavilion would investigate this.

All trading activities in the trading area came to a standstill.

More than three thousand guards intercepted the trade district's imports and exports.

They demanded that every cultivator hand over all their storage bags and storage rings, checking them one by one.

Whoever has two million three hundred thousand Xuan coins and thirteen thousand seven hundred and ninety spirit crystals on them is the culprit.

This debugging method seems feasible.

But in fact, there are many loopholes.

After taking the Xuan Coins and Ling Jing, the other party might have already taken them out and divided them.

Furthermore, there is another possibility...

The other party had already left the trading area in the chaos.

So how do you find the killer

Fang Yu's eyes were cold as ice. He returned to the first floor and came before Yun Ning and his deputy's remains.

From this mere fragment of remains, it's impossible even to determine the time of death.

The only thing that can be known is that the time of death was not long.

Even ten minutes would be enough for the perpetrator to leave the trading area.

"This pack of bastards."

Fang Yu looked at Yun Ning and the deputy's corpses, stood up again, his eyes were extremely cold.

……

In a room in another star system.

Yuantou's face was icy cold as he looked at the light curtain in front of him.

The figure that appeared in the light curtain was none other than the elder who had been severely injured by Fang Yu.

"Who is responsible for this Why is there no trace at all" Yuantou asked in a cold voice.

"Master, actually... there's a lead." The attendant gritted his teeth and said, "The surveillance spirit stones within the Spirit Crystal Pavilion... haven't failed."t's how you do things"At that moment, a sudden and jarring voice came from beside him.This sentence caused the attendant to stop in his tracks, and all eyes on that floor were drawn to a single figure...
