"Damn it!"
On the east city gate, Li Hao was shocked when he saw the scene on the sea, and his face instantly turned livid.
The steward and the other martial masters were a little flustered and at a loss. He was sent to assassinate a black-faced Chu Hailiang who was in the early stage of Wu Zun, but he himself died! What is going on!
Could it be that Pan Yun and his group were responsible?
Go against him blatantly? !
Li Hao secretly thought that something was wrong, so he immediately left the viewing room and hurried to the first floor of the East City Gate Tower to go to the banquet of the adults.
In the hall on the first floor of the East City Gate, the adults were also alarmed by the sudden situation on the sea. They were discussing and sent a few people over to see the situation.
Rafting can be risky, and people will occasionally die, but they can't die in an unknown way.
"Father, someone died at sea. I'll go over and check out the situation!"
Li Hao strode forward to the banquet and took the initiative to invite Ying.
He had to investigate this emergency himself. If he sent someone else to investigate and Li Jin and others were involved, he would be passive.
"Well, you came just in time, go check it out carefully immediately! This rafting meeting is the most important event in our Donglai City, and no one can die in an unknown way!"
Sitting in the middle of the banquet, Li Zhouying, the princess of Donglai County, was obviously very unhappy about the death. Her face was dark and she nodded.
He was a little bored watching the rafting party tonight. Unexpectedly, another Martial Master died, which made him very unhappy.
Most of the warriors at the rafting party have their own origins. Chu Hailiang is a member of the Chu family in Donglai. Although this Chu family is not a big family in Donglai, it is still a troublesome thing. If we don't find out clearly and give Chu an explanation, it will definitely cause more troubles.
Li Hao accepted the order and was about to set off.
"Wait a minute!"
Pan Dahai took a big sip of wine and said to a young general behind him, "Pan Zi! You go with Li Hao and help the young princess find out about this matter. If Chu Hailiang was killed, the real culprit must not be let go." , and cannot wrongly accuse anyone."
He has a bold and rough appearance, but his heart is not rough at all. His son Pan Yun was in the black mist just now. If he was framed by Li Hao, it would be hard to tell. He would definitely send someone to check it out.
"yes!"
The young lieutenant general understood. He is also a member of the Pan clan. He is the young general of the Navy who was personally led by Pan Dahai. He has won Pan Dahai's trust.
It doesn't matter how Chu Hailiang died, as long as it doesn't involve the young master Pan Yun.
Dean Cao Hao pondered for a moment, recruited a vice-dean, and went with Pan Lihao and Pan Zi to check the situation. If Li and Pan had a dispute, his people could mediate it.
...
On the sea six or seven miles away from the coast, all the warriors who participated in the rafting party stayed near Chu Hailiang, looking at his body floating on the sea with shocked expressions.
Although the annual boating meeting is dangerous, for top geniuses like them, it is very unlikely that they will lose their lives, unless someone deliberately kills someone.
In the black mist just now, someone must have killed Chu Hailiang.
As for who it is, it's hard to say.
The seventeen or eight warriors from Pan Yun's team and Li Jin's team stayed where they were, and did not leave without authorization until their suspicions were cleared.
The other fifty or sixty martial arts masters did not leave either, they were just around, waiting to watch a good show. This accident is likely to cause a conflict between Li and Pan.
Three small boats set off from the East City Gate and flew quickly to the sea area where they all were to trace the cause of the accident.
Li Hao walked around Chu Hailiang in a small boat, looked at the scars on Chu Hailiang's body, and frowned slightly.
He quickly raised his head and scanned the seventeen or eight Martial Lords on the surrounding sea with his sharp eyes.
Chu Hailiang's death was definitely not caused by Li Jin's team. He did not give the order, and Li Jin did not dare to do this.
Suspicious eyes fell on Ye Fan, paused for a moment, but quickly moved away.
Ye Fan was a little suspicious, but the possibility that he could kill Chu Hailiang was slim. If the report says that Ye Fan killed Chu Hailiang, the adults probably won't believe it.
Li Hao finally looked at Pan Yun. The biggest suspect was a group of people from Pan Yun's team.
"Who killed him? If you stand up for yourself, the county can still give you a lenient sentence! If you are found out, you will be severely punished!"
Li Hao put his hands behind his back and said coldly.
"The injuries on Chu Hailiang's body are so obvious. You can see it clearly at a glance. Why do you need to ask more questions? The suspects are all here. Just say who did it!"
Pan Yun held a golden dragon mysterious spear and sneered.
Li Hao paused for a moment and looked embarrassed. If he knew who did it, why would he ask? Chu Hailiang's injuries were obvious, but he didn't know who had done it.
Pan Yun, the second most famous person in the "Donglai List", was dissatisfied with him, so of course he blamed Pan Yun.
The young general Pan Zi immediately stepped forward to check Chu Hailiang's injuries and said: "Chu Hailiang's injuries are very obvious. There are two injuries. The first one was a critical strike from a powerful thunder pillar, which shattered his protective flame armor. . The second one was that his throat bone was shattered by gravity and he died on the spot! The cause of death was clear and clear, and there was no doubt whatsoever. The person who did this was obviously a late-stage martial master who majored in the thunder system. Only then could he attack Chu Hailiang. The two moves are fatal. Who among the people present is majoring in the thunder system? Or has the blood of the thunder system?"
He turned around and asked Pan Yun.
"No! No one in my team majors in the thunder system! Everyone knows who is strong and how powerful it is, but we still don't know! However, there are one or two people who have a bloodline of the thunder system and are not majoring in it. But they all You can't launch such a powerful thunder attack and destroy the flame armor with one move."
Pan Yun immediately denied it.
"If this is the case, then your team has been eliminated from suspicion. The person who killed Chu Hailiang should be someone else!"
Pan Zi said lightly, without saying anything more.
His mission sent by General Pan was to help Pan Yun's team clear away suspicion. There was no need to interfere too much in other matters.
"Hmph, it wasn't you, nor Li Jin's team. Who else could have done it? Did Chu Hailiang die for no reason? This doesn't seem to make sense."
Li Hao said in a cold voice.
He really wanted to kill Ye Fan, but he pinned the crime of Chu Hailiang's death on Ye Fan, a man who had just stepped into the realm of martial master... If this reason was reported, the adults at the East City Gate would definitely not agree. Instead, they would think that he was deliberately framing Mark.
Everyone couldn't help but fell silent for a while.
Chu Hailiang's death was so strange. With so many warriors gathered here, they couldn't find a single murderer.
How could they communicate with the adults at the east city gate, the Chu clan, and the people in the city? It cannot be said that the cause of death is unknown and no murderer has been found.
Suddenly, a clear voice came and said, "I vaguely saw a thunder eel beast on the bottom of the sea before! It fired a thick thunder column, then flicked its tail and hit Chu Hailiang, probably hitting his throat. Then when it saw all the martial arts masters rushing over, it was frightened and disappeared."
Everyone couldn't help but look at the speaker in shock. It was Ye Fan, one of the parties involved.
Previously, Ye Fan created a large area of black mist and had a fight with Chu Hailiang in the black mist. He was originally the most suspect person. However, Ye Fan's initial level of martial arts cultivation was too low, and no one regarded him as a suspect.
No one even mentioned this possibility.
A Martial Master who has only been promoted to the Martial Master realm for a year can kill a late-stage master who has been at the Martial Master realm for decades. Then where do they, the top genius Wu Zun on the "Donglai Ranking", put their faces? Even if it was really Ye Fan who did it, they would probably have to find a way to deny it! Besides, this is simply impossible.
So they just kept silent and ignored Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's words cheered them up.
The cause of Chu Hailiang's death finally became clearer.
"Thunder Eel Beast Lord?!"
"When Ye Fan said this, I seemed to have seen a huge black shadow flashing across the seabed just now! It was just that I was farther away and couldn't see carefully. Ye Fan was closer and could see more clearly. It must be Got it!"
"Yes, I saw it too! A Thunder Eel Beast Lord appeared just now. Judging from its beast body, it is probably the peak of the late Beast Lord! Alas, let alone Chu Hailiang, even if I encounter it, I have to avoid it, otherwise I will be unlucky. ."
"Alas, Chu Hailiang had a great future. He finally reached the thirty-seventh place on the "Donglai Ranking", but he accidentally died at the hands of the Thunder Eel Beast Lord! What a pity!"
The martial lords discussed it one after another, sighing that it was a pity, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Ye Fan felt secretly amused when he heard the discussion of the martial masters.
He knew very well that no one saw the imaginary Thunder Eel Beast Lord.
But that's not important.
The important thing is that this reason is the only reason that everyone can accept. Since it wasn't Li Jin or Pan Yun who did it, we need to find something powerful enough to kill Chu Hailiang.
Everyone needs a suitable reason, and this is enough.
"Chu Hailiang died of a thunder eel attack. The cause of death is known and everyone is a witness! General Pan Zi, take Chu Hailiang's body back."
Li Hao took a deep look at Ye Fan, waved his sleeves and steered the boat back to the east city gate tower.
Pan Zi then took Chu Hailiang's body and returned to the east gate tower with the deputy director of the county court.
The three of them reported to the adults at the East Gate Tower that Chu Hailiang's death was due to an accident and was killed by the Sea Beast Lord. The body was also brought back for all the adults to see.
All the adults sighed sadly.
This kind of thing is rare at rafting parties, but it does happen occasionally. On the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, fighting the Sea Beast Lord on the most dangerous sea, this kind of adventure will always have some accidents.
As for the previous minor conflict between Chu Hailiang and Ye Fan, no one mentioned it. It would be embarrassing for a late-stage martial artist to bully an early-stage martial artist.
Li Zhouying of Donglai County ordered Chu Hailiang to be buried richly and sent people to appease the Chu clan. The accident at the rafting party was completely settled. Except for the people of the Chu clan who felt sad, no one probably took it too seriously.
...
Although there was an accident, the annual rafting party still continued without stopping because of a small accident.
The small teams of warriors once again charged into the tidal waves to kill the sea beast.
But this time, they finally calmed down and did not get close to each other. They tried to keep as far apart as possible to prevent another conflict. Seize the time and kill as many Sea Beast Lords as possible. For each kill, you can earn 300 yuan stones as a reward from the county government.
At tonight's rafting party, the person who hunts the most sea beasts will even get a lot of extra rewards.
Ye Fan and the Lu Yang team were also seizing the time to hunt down the Sea Beast Lord.
With a slight smile on his lips, he reached into his arms and touched an ordinary storage bag.
This is Chu Hailiang's storage bag. After he killed Chu Hailiang, he thought that Wu Zun should have some savings in his later period, so he took it immediately. There was only the short-edged dagger, but Ye Fan didn't take it.
Since Chu Hailiang dared to come and plot against him, there was nothing wrong with him taking Chu Hailiang's storage bag.
I just don't know what is in Chu Hailiang's storage bag.
