Chapter 170 Taking the initiative to attack and alert the enemy

Tang Shi returned to his cave and sat on the cushion as usual, but he did not enter the state of cultivation. The figures of Zhong Limei, Zhong Yunyi and Xiao Fengcan kept appearing in his mind.

Before coming to Jianxin Sect, she thought these three people were the most likely and had the most motive to assassinate Song Ci, but after spending some time with them, she became a little confused.

Was she suspecting the wrong thing? Or were they hiding too deeply?

Now her talent and cultivation speed are comparable to Song Ci back then.

Logically speaking, whether the person behind the scenes is afraid of the genius or feels guilty and cautious after harming someone, he should take the initiative to contact and test her.

But now, the headmaster's attitude towards her has always been lukewarm, and he has mostly left her here without paying any attention to her, leaving her to fend for herself. And Zhong Yunyi only met her briefly when he was testing her talent, and they never had any contact again.

Now the only person who took the initiative to interact with her was Song Ci's former master, Xiao Fengcan, but he showed more goodwill, and no one knew how much truth there was in it.

"Maybe I should have been more obvious."

After all, in the eyes of everyone, talent is absolutely a coincidence and may not attract the attention of the people behind it.

In order to speed up the investigation process, Tang Shi decided to take the initiative to explore Song Ci's former cave in order to alert the enemy.

Xiao Fengcan is a good master who is obsessed with his beloved disciple and even needs to drink to relieve his sorrow. Naturally, he would preserve Song Ci's previous cave exactly as it was.

Tang Shi took two steps, avoided the crowd, and sneaked into Yuhengfeng where Xiaofengcan was.

During this time, she felt the spiritual senses of several powerful beings detecting her, but she still pretended not to notice anything with a confused look on her face.

The eldest disciple of Yuheng Peak passed away, and the peak master was an alcoholic for many years, which led to the scattering of many disciples in the peak. Nowadays, there were not many people signing up for Jianxin Sect, and even fewer people chose Yuheng Peak.

Therefore, Yuheng Peak is now losing popularity and you can hardly see anyone there on weekdays.

No one stopped Tang Shi along the way, and he ran straight to Song Ci's former cave.

Fortunately, there are many gossipy people in the world of immortal cultivation. From their daily conversations, Tang Shi was able to piece together the approximate location of Song Ci's cave - a small bamboo forest next to a waterfall.

Because Song Ci likes to practice swordplay under waterfalls, using the impact of the waterfall to improve the stability of his sword-holding arm. It is said that his swordplay method has caused a trend, but few people stick to it.

"You're so close to the waterfall, aren't you bothered by the noise?"

Tang Shi quickly found the small bamboo forest and saw the two-story house inside. However, there was a protective formation outside the bamboo forest, preventing people from entering.

Of course, this small formation couldn't stop Tang Shi. She didn't even need to show her claws. With just a tap of her tiny fingers, the formation automatically opened a gap for her to enter.

Afterwards, Tang Shi entered the small bamboo forest under the supervision of several divine consciousnesses. He ignored the bamboo forest's inherent maze formation and walked straight to the front of the small bamboo building.

The layout of the bamboo house was simple, with a bed, a table, a futon, and a sharp sword without a scabbard.

Apart from that, it's empty and there's nothing to see.

Feeling that the divine consciousness that was monitoring him had not left, Tang Shi directly took out a worn scabbard from the space.

This was something she had found in Wang Erbo's room before. There was only the scabbard but no sword, and it was well-preserved. It looked like a mission prop, so she simply took it. Unexpectedly, she actually used it.

She walked straight over, wiped the dusty sword carefully, and then inserted it into the scabbard. It fit perfectly, and the patterns on the hilt and scabbard matched, so they were obviously a match.

Tang Shi put the sword into the storage bag, then turned around and left the bamboo house.

Her tail has been exposed, and someone will come to her for help.

In Tang Shi's imagination, the first person to lose his patience would most likely be the youngest Zhong Yunyi. Unexpectedly, the first person to come was Bai Qiqi, the master of Yaoguang Peak, whom he had never noticed before.

Bai Qiqi's swordsmanship is elegant and agile, combining both hardness and softness. In addition, her outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament make her very popular among the sect's disciples. She is also the only female leader of the Jianxin Sect.

But, I’ve never heard any gossip about the connection between Bai Qiqi and Song Ci before.

Although he was confused, Tang Shi still welcomed the person into his cave.

"I wonder if Master Bai Feng came to see me on purpose. Is there something going on?"

Bai Qiqi probably knew that the other party was just a kid in the Qi training stage, so she had no intention of beating around the bush and asked directly, "Tang Shi, do you know Song Ci? Is he still alive?"

Tang Shi didn't reply, but just looked at Bai Qiqi warily.

"Then why did you come to Jianxin Sect? Not to mention going to get that broken sword? Or did you come to avenge Song Ci?" Bai Qiqi analyzed and sneered, glancing at Tang Shi.

"Although I don't know who killed Song Ci, you can't accomplish anything with your current level of cultivation and character."

If she could calm down and practice well, and her cultivation level would improve and she would have a higher status in the sect, maybe she could really succeed. But she was just a child after all, and she exposed herself in order to get the broken sword.

Seeing that Chu Xuan still didn't speak and looked at him with vigilance in her big eyes, Bai Qiqi felt even more helpless: "In the next few days, you should move to Yaoguang Peak. I will ask the headmaster to take you there."

Tang Shi asked directly: "Do you want to protect me?"

"I may not be able to protect you." Bai Qiqi shook her head, somewhat helpless. Although she was the peak master, her actual cultivation was only at the peak of the Spiritualization Stage, and she was still a long way from the Body Integration Stage.

"After Song Ci's accident, the head and Master Xiaofeng investigated the matter thoroughly, but after returning, they directly classified it as an accident. However, after that, Master Xiaofeng became completely depressed and drank all day long."

"Later, rumors spread that Song Ci was murdered, and some even speculated that it was the Young Sect Master. The peak masters demanded that the evidence from the previous investigation be made public to prove the Young Sect Master's innocence, but after the Sect Master remained silent for two days, he said that he would stop caring about the rumors."

"So, we have always suspected that Song Ci was indeed murdered, but the victim's identity was special, so even the head of the sect and the master of Xiaofeng had to protect him."

"They even let Zhong Yunyi take the blame?" Tang Shi was really shocked. Who could be more important than his own son? "Do you have any suspects?"

Bai Qiqi shook her head silently. How could she dare to doubt in this situation?

"You come with me to Yaoguang Peak and stay there for a few days. I'll find a chance to send you to the battlefield of all races after a while, and you can hide in another small world." Bai Qiqi made her own arrangements: "Even if you want revenge, you have to wait until you have the strength."

Tang Shi refused directly: "No, I'll wait here."

Since you don’t know where the hunter is, just act like a prey and wait for the hunter to come.
