Xie Cheng and Zhuang Deliang are waiting for news.

They were very confident about the result this time.

After sending so many golden elixir stage cultivators to kill that Zhang San, if they still can't succeed, that's really a big deal.

Not long after.

Weng Zhengyuan walked in, and with him was another elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, who was the middle-stage Jindan practitioner who was responsible for containing Pang Shu.

The result of his battle with Pang Shu was that the latter was defeated and fled back to Lingjian Sect in panic.

After Weng Zhengyuan came in, he said concisely and concisely: "Two sect leaders, Zhang San is dead."

"Haha, I had expected this result a long time ago. By sending so many people out, it can be regarded as a compliment to Zhang San. He will be able to brag about it for a while even if he goes to hell."

Zhuang Deliang laughed and said.

Xie Cheng frowned and asked, "Where is Zhang San's head? Didn't I ask you to bring back his head?"

Compared to Zhuang Deliang, the leader of the Ghost Sword Sect was obviously more cautious. He wouldn't believe it until he saw Lu Yun's head.

Weng Zhengyuan explained: "That Zhang San is very capable, and the secret technique he has cultivated can be used many times. When we went to chase him, we encountered strong resistance, which actually cost us two people.

I had no choice but to use the Twelve Ghost Swords, but I accidentally used too much force, and accidentally crushed that Zhang San into pieces, and the head on his neck was also broken, so there was really no way to bring it back."

Zhuang Deliang widened his eyes and said, "Is there such a thing?"

I have never heard of any secret method that can be used multiple times in a short period of time. However, the world is so big and full of wonders. Since Zhang San can obtain the inheritance of the Sword King, it means that he has great opportunities.

The ancient secret technique that he might have learned somewhere could allow him to improve his cultivation many times in a short period of time.

"It's such a pity. If such a powerful secret method could be forced out of his mouth, it would definitely be a great treasure that shocked Kunlun." Zhuang Deliang felt regretful.

Xie Cheng stared deeply at Weng Zhengyuan, obviously doubting what he said.

Weng Zhengyuan said: "Although I failed to bring back Zhang San's head, fortunately, half of the mask remained at the scene."

As he spoke, he handed the broken half mask in front of the two of them.

Zhuang Deliang laughed and said: "Haha, okay, I didn't know what Zhang San looked like at first, but this half mask is enough. It's time to give Liao Jinlun a surprise."

The relationship between the two of them and Liao Jinlun was not good to begin with, so naturally they would not let go of such a good opportunity to attack easily.

Xie Cheng's eyes flickered, he looked at Weng Zhengyuan, and then he slowly said, "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Weng. You should go back to the sect to rest first!"

"yes!"

Weng Zhengyuan nodded, turned around and left. The moment he was about to step out of the hall, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

This half mask was naturally given to him by Lu Yun on his own initiative.

After Weng Zhengyuan left, Xie Cheng looked at another elder and asked: "Is what Weng Zhengyuan said just now true?"

The elder replied: "It should be true. I was in charge of containing Pang Shu at that time. By the time I repelled Pang Shu and rushed over, Elder Weng and the others had already dealt with Zhang San."

"So you didn't see Weng Zhengyuan kill Zhang San with your own eyes?" Xie Cheng asked.

The elder hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Xie Cheng was silent for a moment, then turned to Zhuang Deliang and said, "Sect Master Zhuang, I think it's better to call in all the elders of your Ancient Sword Sect for questioning!"

Zhuang Deliang said in surprise: "What's the matter? Can this matter be false? Do you suspect that Zhang San is not dead? Do you think Weng Zhengyuan was bribed by Zhang San?"

Xie Cheng's eyes flashed and he said: "It's impossible to bribe him. I just suspect that Zhang San was actually captured alive by Weng Zhengyuan in order to force him to find out the secret method."

After saying this, Zhuang Deliang also fell into doubt, nodded and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Being able to use the secret method multiple times in a short period of time means that you can continuously improve your own strength by one or two small realms. Such a secret method can be called a treasure without exaggeration.

Put yourself in their shoes, if they encountered this situation themselves, would they kill each other so easily?

Shouldn't he be tortured and forced to learn the secret method?

Xie Cheng's suspicion is not unreasonable.

And the reason for his paranoia is that he cares too much about his position as the leader of the Ghost Sword Sect.

Weng Zhengyuan is actually the oldest one in the Ghost Sword Sect, and like Xie Cheng, he is in the middle stage of Jindan. In terms of seniority, this position of sect leader should be held by Weng Zhengyuan.

It's a pity that Weng Zhengyuan is slightly behind Xie Cheng in terms of understanding sword intention, and is only at the master level.

Xie Cheng relied on this small advantage to become the leader of the Ghost Sword Sect.

He now has reason to suspect that Weng Zhengyuan wants to force out the secret method from Lu Yun and then practice it himself. If there is a competition with him then, Xie Cheng will definitely suffer.

In order to defend one's position, it is normal to be suspicious.

Zhuang Deliang felt that it made sense, so he summoned the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect who participated in this pursuit one by one.

The final answer was that each of them watched with their own eyes as Weng Zhengyuan used the Twelve Ghost Swords to tear Zhang San into pieces, leaving only half of the mask.

Since everyone is saying the same thing, no matter how suspicious Xie Cheng is, he can only dispel his suspicions.

It's impossible for everyone to accompany Weng Zhengyuan in lying, right?

No, no, no, there can't really be such an outrageous thing, right?

"Haha, Sect Master Xie, it seems that your suspicion is unnecessary. Perhaps that Zhang San counterattacked when he was about to die, and Elder Weng had no choice but to kill him.

You just heard that Zhang San is so powerful that he actually killed two early-stage Jindans in a row. It may not be that easy to capture him alive."

"I hope so!"

Xie Cheng sighed and didn't know what was going on. He always felt flustered.

That Zhang San behaved so strangely from beginning to end. With just his cultivation in the Qi Refining Period, he obtained the inheritance of the Sword Emperor, and he broke through the Foundation Establishment not long after.

That's all. The key is that not long after he broke through the foundation building, he actually killed Shi Kuang, whose combat power was comparable to that of the Golden Core Stage. Now he even killed two elders of the Sword Sect.

Who dares to believe this?

Xie Cheng vaguely felt that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked, but now that the matter had come to this, there was nothing he could do. He just hoped that everything was unfounded.
