I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 241 Su Xiao's Death

The next day, Lin Shen, Zhao Linger and others taught Qi Nongxia as before, and after the failure in that battle, Qi Nongxia studied extra hard.

Just like that, five days later, Lin Shen suddenly received a voice message from Li Xiaoyao, "Anos, you and Ling'er and the others should come to Shushan. There are new developments."

Lin Shen asked, "Xiaoyao, what happened?"

Li Xiaoyao didn't say it explicitly, but just told Lin Shen and the others to come over. So Lin Shen called Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu, and Jiang Waner over. Lin Yueru asked, "Anos, what's wrong?"

Lin Shen said, "It was Xiaoyao. He asked us to go to Mount Shu. I have a feeling that the remnants of Qionghua are making new moves."

Zhao Linger and the other three had no objections and planned to go to Shushan together, but Qi Nongxia's homework became a problem. Qi Nongxia did not make any noise and said nothing.

Lin Shen thought about it for a while. After all, if they went to war with the remnants of Qionghua, with Qi Nongxia's current level of cultivation, she wouldn't even be able to defeat them. For her safety, he decided to let Qi Nongxia stay on Xianling Island and wait for them to come back.

So Lin Shen found the Palace Master of Lingyue Palace, who was teaching the "Tao Te Ching". When she saw Lin Shen coming to her in a hurry, she knew something was wrong.

The Lord of Lingyue Palace walked up to Lin Shen and asked, "My friend, what happened?"

Lin Shen said, "Master, there's been a message from Shushan. We need to go there. I have a hunch that the remnants of Qionghua will make new moves.

(Calling Qi Nongxia) Taoist Priest, Nongxia, could you please take care of her for me for a few days, please?

Lingyue Palace Master actually liked Qi Nongxia very much, but he was too embarrassed to speak up. How could he miss the opportunity to take care of her? He said, "Don't worry, my friend. I will take care of her."

Lin Shen told Lingyue Palace Master about Qi Nongxia's progress in her studies over the past month. Lingyue Palace Master said, "I understand, my friend. Leave Nongxia to me."

Lin Shen said "hmm" and looked at Qi Nongxia, who said sensibly, "Master, take care of yourself out there."

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I understand. When I'm not around, you should study more with the Taoist priest. When I come back, I will examine your studies."

Qi Nongxia nodded and said "hmm". At this time, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu and Jiang Waner all came over. Jiang Waner said, "Anos, it's time to go."

Lin Shen walked up to the four people, turned to look at Lingyue Palace Master and Qi Nongxia, and waved goodbye to them.

Palace Master Lingyue and Qi Nongxia said in unison, "Take care of yourself out there!"

Lin Shen snapped his fingers, and a magic circle appeared under the feet of the five people. After a while, the five people disappeared, leaving only Qi Nongxia and Lingyue Palace Master standing there.

At this time, at the gate of Shushan, Li Xiaoyao was waiting for news from Lin Shen and others.

Not long after, a magic circle appeared in front of him, and Lin Shen, Zhao Linger and others walked out of the magic circle.

Lin Shen looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Xiaoyao, what happened? Why are we rushing here in such a hurry?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Come with me to see Senior Brother Taiwu first." Lin Shen and his companions followed Li Xiaoyao to see Taiwu. When Taiwu saw Lin Shen and his companions, he said, "You are here."

Lin Shen bowed and said, "Master Taiwu, what happened? You called us here, but are the remnants of Qionghua making new moves?"

Tai Wu said, "Your guess is quite accurate. Yesterday, my fellow disciples who were away came to report that a female corpse was found on Mount Emei. The corpse bore the markings of the Qionghua Sect."

Lin Shen was immediately startled and asked, "Could it be Su Yao who died?"

Tai Wu said, "I don't know. After all, we haven't seen her in person. That's why we called you here. First, we want to recognize her, and second, we want to discuss how to deal with the remaining Qionghua gang."

Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, take us to identify it."

Tai Wu led Lin Shen and the others to the morgue. Lin Shen saw a body on a morgue table, covered with a white sheet. Lin Shen peeled back the sheet and saw that it was not Su Yao. She looked younger than Su Yao, and Su Yao had a small mouth, nose, and eyes. The woman in front of him did not match her at all.

Lin Shen was certain the person before him wasn't Su Yao. He checked her other parts of her body. She was slightly shorter than Su Yao, about four or five centimeters tall. Her body was pale, with a penetrating wound on her chest, where she had been stabbed from behind. There was a Qionghua mark on her back, stained red with blood.

Taiwu said, "How about it, do you know each other?"

Zhao Linger said, "This person...is not Su Yao, and we don't know her."

Lin Shen also shook his head, meaning that the female corpse was indeed not Su Yao.

Lin Yueru noticed that there seemed to be a piece of paper or something in the deceased's clothes. She took it out and took a look. After a closer look, she found that it was her business card with the words "Qionghua Suxiao" written on it.

Several people immediately understood that the female corpse in front of them was none other than the person who took away the Xihe Sword that Su Yao had mentioned.

Lin Shen asked, "When you found her, did you have any clues? For example, was there a sword around?"

Tai Wu said, "No, there is only this one body, and there is not even a pool of blood around it."

Lin Yueru thought for a moment and said, "From this perspective, the place where Su Xiao was found doesn't look like a murder scene, but more like a body dumping site."

Tai Wu said, "Actually, we think so too. By the way, when you mentioned the sword just now, what did you mean?"

Lin Shen looked at Su Xiao's corpse and said, "If this female corpse is really Su Xiao, then she should be carrying the Xihe Sword.

But according to what you said, I didn't see the Xihe Sword, so there's a problem: where did the Xihe Sword go?"

Tai Wu said, "It feels like the clues are broken again. What should we do?"

Lin Shen held his chin with his hand, thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea. Maybe I can get some clues."

Li Xiaoyao asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lin Shen said, "I plan to go to the ghost world, maybe I can get some clues."

When Anu heard that he was going to the ghost world, he began to tremble and said, "A...Brother Anos, is this the only way? Don't you know the reincarnation technique?"

In fact, it is not impossible to do so, but Lin Shen simply does not want to resurrect her.

Jiang Wan'er saw what Lin Shen was thinking, walked up to her and said, "Anos, why don't you revive her first, then keep her under guard. If she's an unforgivable criminal, then just beat her to death."

Lin Shen thought: Good fellow, this Jiang Wan'er is quite mean. Rescuing the person, questioning him, and then killing him. He never expected that Wan'er's gentle appearance hid a sinister heart.

But when I think about it, I either have to go to the ghost world myself or resurrect her. The clues to the whereabouts of the remaining members of Qionghua can only be found from this dead person.

Lin Shen held his chin with one hand again, thinking about what to do.
