Chapter 167 Water droplets on the corpse

A door-like ice wall appeared at the circular cave entrance, and the breath was astonishingly cold.

Everyone retreated subconsciously, feeling extremely cold.

Not long after, there was a muffled sound of bombardment coming from outside the ice wall.

The demonic shadow was bombarding the ice wall as it approached.

Different from the ice layer that Yu Jingwan had condensed with the sword formation before, this ice wall was extremely strong and could not move at all despite being bombarded by the demonic shadow for a long time.

Gradually, the roar became smaller and the demonic figure lost its trace.

Everyone hiding in the cave let out a sigh of relief.

As long as the demonic shadow retreats, the crisis will disappear. As for finding the exit, there is no rush.

Yunji came to the ice gate, and there was a little fog turtle lying in the corner.

At this time, the little fog turtle became transparent and its breath was weak, as if a thin mist would soon disappear.

Condensing the ice gate consumes a lot of the little mist turtle's strength, and even it itself is in danger of dissipating.

Yunji took out the fog egg from the storage bag and integrated it into the little fog turtle's body.

The little mist turtle finally became a little more solid, but it was still sluggish.

The little guy raised his head and glanced at Yunji. He could no longer make a sound. He shook his body and turned into an egg-shaped cloud, suspended in front of the ice door.

Yunji was always observing the little fog turtle's condition.

He discovered that the egg-shaped little fog turtle was slowly rotating at this time, and there were traces of mist that were imperceptible to the naked eye floating out from the surrounding stone walls and being sucked into the body of the little fog turtle.

It's repairing itself...

This should be the birthplace of the little fog turtle.

Yunji roughly judged the condition of Little Mist Turtle and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Strange creatures like phantom beasts are the hardest to raise and will dissipate if not managed properly. Yunji helped the little mist turtle escape from the tree hole, and the little mist turtle helped Yunji find this shelter. It was considered as repayment of gratitude.

Everyone owes nothing to each other.

After confirming that the demon shadow could not break through the ice gate, everyone finally felt relieved.

Yu Jingwan took care of Luo Xiyun, and everyone else recovered their strength. The previous escape took a lot of energy from everyone.

The bodies of Gu Qing and Gu Chen were temporarily put aside.

Light the torch and light up the surrounding area.

Yunji circled around the cave and found that there was more than one side of the ice gate. Together with the ice gate that had just been formed, there were a total of six openings in this space, all of which were round, like a palace that had been deliberately carved out of the mountain.

The ground under your feet is a solid rock formation, and the surrounding stone walls show large crack-like marks. I don't know if they are deliberately divided marks or formed naturally.

What exactly is this place?

Not only Yunji was puzzled, but Yu Jingwan and others were also puzzled.

"It seems that the demonic shadow can't get in. We have escaped, but how can we get out?" Qin Wu's face turned bitter.

"There is always a way out. If there is an accident in Lingxi Forest, the two elders will know about it sooner or later and will not leave us behind." Yun Fengdi said.

"I'm afraid even the elders are no match for the monsters..." Ni Fuqing said worriedly.

When he said this, everyone looked bad.

If even the elders cannot stop the demonic shadow, coupled with the restless demon spirits and numerous demonic beasts, the disciples who come to Lingxi Forest for training this time may be in bad luck.

No one spoke anymore, everyone tried their best to regain their strength.

As practitioners, everyone knows that the most important thing when you are in a dangerous place is to maintain your state.

Only in peak condition can we respond to sudden crises at all times.

Yunji did not waste much energy. After observing the environment, he found a place to sit cross-legged and pondered, guessing the origin of this space in the middle of the mountain.

The surroundings were very quiet, with only the sound of a few people breathing.

Tick.

The sound of a drop of water falling was particularly harsh in the quiet mountainside.

Following the sound, the water droplets came from Gu Chen's body.

Yun Fengdi stepped forward to check and asked in shock: "Why is there water in Sixth Senior Brother's wound?"

Others immediately gathered over and untied the shirt of Gu Chen's corpse, and sure enough they found that water was oozing out of the wound.

The deceased had a sword wound that penetrated his heart. Logically speaking, he should bleed. Even if it took too long and the blood had solidified, there should not be water.

"Is there something strange about the corpse?"

"Nothing unusual was found. It is indeed the body of Lao Wu Lao Liu."

"Is there anything wrong with the wound?"

"The sword injury is correct, and it is an extremely fast sword style that instantly penetrates the heart."

"Where does the water come from?"

Several people gathered around the body to analyze the situation. For a while, no one could see the truth behind the body leaking water.

Yunji squatted beside the corpse, looked at it, and said: "It is not uncommon for wounds to have water. As long as the murderer used a long sword made of ice, it would have such an effect."

Yun Ji reminded everyone, and Yun Fengdi exclaimed: "That's right! The murderer not only used an ice sword but also used an ice sword technique to leave the cold air in the wound. Over time, the cold air melted into water!"

Yun Fengdi thought he had seen through the truth, but the expressions on the other people's faces became increasingly weird.

"What's wrong with you? Am I wrong? Inflicting such wounds is like using a dry ice sword with a dry ice technique..."

As he spoke, Yun Fengdi's expression also changed, and he covered his mouth in surprise.

If we deduce based on this clue, then the murderer is most likely someone from Bingpo Peak, and one of the true legends.

Several people in the cave immediately developed invisible hostility towards each other, and an aura of distrust arose in their hearts. It was not visible on the outside, but the estrangement had appeared silently.

Ni Fuqing smoothed things over with an awkward expression: "We at Ice Soul Peak are not the only ones in the sect who know how to use ice sword techniques. Maybe the murderer is someone else."

Qin Wu distanced himself from everyone and said: "That's not necessarily true. The cold air left by the dry ice sword is the heaviest. Water is coming out of the wound. It is most likely caused by the dry ice sword. There must be a murderer among us!

"

Luo Xiyun leaned against the stone wall and said bitterly: "Impossible! We senior brothers have never had any grudges, how could we kill each other?"

"How can outsiders know about such things as grudges, except for those involved?" Yunji said, looking at Ye Tan, and said, "You think so, Seventh Senior Brother."

Ye Tan said with a cold face: "What, you doubt me?"

Yun Ji shook his head and said, "I'm not doubting you, but I've identified you as the murderer, Seventh Senior Brother."

Ye Tan said calmly: "Where is the evidence?"

Yun Jidao: "The evidence is the chess evaluation."

"Evaluating chess?" Qin Wu asked doubtfully: "Old Jiu, please make it clear that it is not good to frame a fellow sect for nothing."

Yu Jingwan and others also cast puzzled looks, waiting for Yunji's next words.

"Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother are very fond of chess, and they often go to Eighth Senior Sister to evaluate chess. One night, the two of them happened to catch Eighth Senior Sister walking in the back mountain at night. They followed up and discovered some clues. They guessed that someone was controlling Eighth Senior Sister behind the scenes. In order not to alert the snake, they

The two prepared to investigate secretly, but before they could find out the person behind the scenes, they were plotted by the mastermind first."

Yun Ji paused and said, "The murderer of Gu Qing and Gu Chen was also the one behind controlling Yun Fengpi to go back and forth to the back mountain every night to monitor the master. This person is Ye Tan."

Everyone was stunned.

It sounds reasonable, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence.

Ye Tan sneered: "I asked you to tell me the evidence, but you are making wild guesses. Junior Brother Ninth's imagination is really rich."

Yun Jidao: "There is also definite evidence. If I guessed correctly, Gu Qing and Gu Chen's two dry ice swords should be on your body."
