Chapter 1075: Who Did It?
This night within Purple Flame City, undercurrents surged wildly as thousands of Martial Artists associated with the Purple Flame Sect sprang into action, casting an invisible net across every corner of the city.Soon afterwards, valuable pieces of information from all around Purple Flame City converged in the Sect Master Hall of the Purple Flame Sect for the senior members’ reference.
What puzzled Zu Tiangang and others was the fact that the mysterious warrior named "Bai Fang" had seemingly vanished into thin air, leaving not a single trace behind, making it unknown whether he had already left Purple Flame City.
Zu Tiangang had his disciples capture Second You and others from the Martial Artists Trading Market who had had dealings with Bai Fang, resorting to all kinds of methods to interrogate them, yet they could not extract any information about Bai Fang’s whereabouts.
As dawn approached and the heavy rain stopped, the sky cleared.
Two disciples responsible for searching the Purple Flame Sect Headquarter hurried back to the Sect Master Hall, bringing with them the unconscious Zu Yu.
"Sect Master, while we were searching Elder Brother Zu’s room, we found him collapsed on the floor, unconscious, and someone had carved... carved two turtles on his face," reported a disciple of the Purple Flame Sect, bowing with clasped hands to Zu Tiangang, who sat upon the Sect Master’s throne.
Zu Tiangang’s gaze hardened as he looked down at Zu Yu, and when he saw the ridiculous turtles etched on his cheeks, he flew into a towering rage, suddenly standing up with his fists tightly clenched as murderous intent instantly filled the entire Sect Master Hall.
The two Purple Flame Sect disciples standing below were enveloped by this murderous aura, feeling as if tidal waves were crashing in from all directions, threatening to engulf and drown them, giving them a sense of despair as if on the brink of death, so they hastily knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling violently.
"Leave Zu Yu here, you may withdraw," Zu Tiangang finally managed to suppress his anger after a moment and waved his hand for the two disciples to leave.
The disciples, as if granted amnesty, quickly exited the Sect Master Hall.
Zu Tiangang’s face was as cold as frost as he descended the steps and squatted down beside Zu Yu. Upon realizing that Zu Yu was just unconscious and not injured, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Zu Yu possessed an Innate Fire Spirit Root and at the mere age of twenty-seven, he had already reached the Desolate Level Perfection realm, heralded as the most outstanding Martial Dao Genius of the Purple Flame Sect in a thousand years. If something were to happen to him, it would be a significant blow to the Purple Flame Sect.
"Who on earth did this? Was it that Bai Fang, or someone connected to him?"
As Zu Tiangang looked at the small turtles carved on the cheeks of Zu Yu, the muscles around his mouth twitched, and the anger in his chest flared up again.o give me something, and then asked me to look into his eyes. I just glanced for a moment and then knew nothing..."
"What time did Elder Hong visit you?"
Zu Tiangang’s heart was already piecing together what might have happened as he asked with a grave tone.
Zu Yu replied, "Not long after midnight."
Zu Tiangang said, "At that time, Elder Hong was in his main hall concocting elixirs, and afterward, he was attacked and gravely injured... Thus, it’s impossible for Elder Hong to have been at your place then."
"Ah? This... this..."
Zu Yu, being a clever person, suddenly understood, exclaiming, "Someone impersonated Elder Hong to visit me!"
Then, puzzled, he said, "But what could be the purpose behind such an act? Could it be that they wanted to frame Elder Hong? Yet if they intended to frame him, why would they attack Elder Hong as well? Strange..."
Zu Yu didn’t understand, and neither did Zu Tiangang; however, Zu Tiangang was now regarding Bai Fang as the primary suspect in this incident.
