Chapter 1178 – Yan Tieba
It wouldn’t be easy to find out the whereabouts of a Daofather in advance.
Therefore, the death of Daoist Jia Bofang shocked the entire cultivation world.
How did Daoist Jia Bofang die? Who was the one who killed him, a dignified Daoist who did not have any warning signs before he perished, and who could be so sure of the whereabouts of a Daofather?
After the Zichu found out that Jia Bofang’s Soul Lamp had suddenly been extinguished and his corpse was retrieved from his body, the entire cultivation world of the Yuzhou seemed to have sunk into an atmosphere where everyone was in grave danger. Even the Dao Realm Patriarchs had died without knowing why, so who else could ensure the safety of the entire cultivation world?
Some of them thought that he had died in the hands of cultivators from other sects, while some simply believed that it was caused by the internal strife of the Zichu, while some even believed that it was caused by the three Jia brothers’ enemy from the past. Some even believed that it was Yang Junshan who had acted, because he was now recognized as the strongest cultivator in the Yuzhou, and it was only him who could kill him without Jia Bofang being able to spread the news. As for his motive to kill him, it was even simpler.
Of course, these were only guesses, and there were no lack of people with ulterior motives fanning the flames.
However, after Zichu found Daoist Jia Bofang’s body and investigated further, many of the rumors started to crumble.
First, the Zichu claimed that Daoist Jia Bofang went to visit him, and the Tan Xi Sect did not deny that, which meant that Daoist Jia Bofang was killed after visiting him, and that he left the Tan Xi Sect.
Even though the Tan Xi Sect had repeatedly denied it, it was the truth that Jia Bofang was right after he left the Tan Xi Sect. Under the situation where the Tan Xi Sect did not have conclusive evidence, even if he wanted to, he would not be able to shake off this suspicion.
This was the eastern side of the Tuo Wu Shan, and was where the forces of the Tan Xi Sect, Heaven-Shaken Sect, and Heaven’s Spirit Sect gathered. Usually, although the three sects did not compete to death with each other on the ground, there were still many disagreements.
However, the relationship between the Zichu s, Heaven-Shaken Secnd Heaven’s Spirit Sect was always considered to be good, because with an enemy like the Western Mountain Madame Yang s, the three sects had been in contact with each other secretly many times. They had even cooperated with the Western Mountain Madame Yang s on several occasions.
However, very quickly, some of the people understood that Jia Bofang was paying a visit to the Tan Xi Sect, but there wauge difference between the Tan Xi Sect, Heaven’s Spirit Sect and the Tan Xi Sect!
Ever since Yan Dazhi and Yu Wen had advanced into the Dao Realm, Tan Xi Sect, who was originally somewhat lonely in the cultivation world, regained the glory of the three great sects of Yuzhou, and even went further. Adding to that, the Tan Xi Sect had the resources from a county of Xi’an County, and had the Sect Leader’s control who was well-versed in management, a perfect sect’s system of inheritance, the entire Tan Xi Sect could be said to be flourishing in these years, with outstanding disciples from within the sect emerging one after another.
What was in stark contrast to the Tan Xi Sect was the decline of the two allies, the Heaven-Shaken Sect and the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Heaven-Shaken Sect was nolace that the cultivation world of Yuzhou liked to see, and had been continuously attacked by Western Mountain Madame Yang all these years. Even though there was such an outstanding and talented person as Zhang Yueming, it was hard to hide the desolation of having no one to follow after him.
As for the Skysoul Sect, because of the fusion of the two sects, the two factions that originally belonged to the Sirius Gate and the Seven Spirit Sects fought internally. Although the Sirius Gate’s faction had the upper hand in the end, it also caused the sect’s vitality to be greatly damaged. The Heavenly Spirit Sect had been constantly suppressed by the Western Mountain’s Madame Yang all these years.
Under these circumstances, coupled with the fact that Daofather Greywolf’s personality became increasingly perverted and violent after advancing to the Dao Realm, the entire Heaven’s Spirit Sect was enveloped in a single person’s domineering aura.
Then the problem would be, under the situation where his two allies were gradually losing, Jia Bofang suddenly visited the Tan Xi Sect, who clearly had a huge grudge with the two families but was also flourishing day by day, the situation inside was not strange.
In fact, this time, Daoist Jia Bofang had truly come to visit him secretly, and even in Zichu, there were very few people who knew about this, and other than a few upper echelons, the rest of the people in the Tan Xi Sect did not know that Dao Ancestor had also visited them. If it were not for the fact that Daoist Jia Bofang had died on the way back, it would be extremely difficult to hide this matter, and the entire cultivation world in Yuzhou would probably be kept in the dark.
However, aesult, this matter became even more complicated, and even the Heaven-Shaken Sect and the Heaven’s Spirit Sect were involved in this.
However, even so, there were still people who were unwilling to let go of the suspicion that the Western Mountain Madame Yang was a Madame Yang, and some claimed that the biggest beneficiary of this matter was the Western Mountain Madame Yang. With Jia Bofang’s death, first, the strength of the two great powers of the Qi and Chu Families had greatly decreased, and second, the possibility of the alliance between the Tan Xi Sect and the Zichu had been completely severed, maintaining the alliance between the Western Mountain Madame Yang and the Tan Xi Sect;
However, the Western Mountain Madame Yang had always had only one answer to such doubts. The Jun Shan had not yet returned, so this matter had nothing to do with the Madame Yang!
The entire cultivation world knew that Yang Junshan had disappeared outside of this region. Other than him, who could kill Jia Bofang without making a sound?
This was the ironclad proof that the Madame Yang was able to stay out of this mess!
The entire Western Mountain Madame Yang welcomed this person to search for traces of Yang Junshan, and they wished that someone could find Yang Junshan. As long as Yang Junshan returned, even if they wanted to put Jia Bofang’s death on the Yang Family’s shoulders, what could they do?
It was not as if no one had guessed whether or not the Western Mountain Madame Yang had a second Dao Ancestor other than Yang Junshan. However, Yang Junhao had been in closed door cultivation for nearly twenty years, and in the end, when he made his breakthrough into the Dao Realm, due to the difficulty of his life’s Dao Techniques and Divine Powers, he gave up midway, and failed his breakthrough. He was still in closed door cultivation even now.
Of course, it wasn’t that the mysterious spirit cultivator under Yang Junshan was not noticed, but even if the outsiders didn’t know that Yang Junxiu had already become the White Tiger Demon King, who would be willing to believe that a beginner Dao Realm Demon King would be able to kill him?
Furthermore, as the investigation continued, it seemed like the suspicion on the mysterious spirit cultivator under Yang Junshan became less and less, because there were no injuries on Jia Bofang’s body at all. Even though there were traces of battle techniques used, his soul had been directly destroyed and he died.
Of course, based on the fact that the Jia brothers had joined the Zichu in the middle of the fight, and Jia Bofang had died in the revenge of his enemies, as well as the fact that he was the victim of an internal conflict within the Zichu, many people believed in these two guesses.
At this point, the death of Daoist Jia Bofang had already been shrouded in a layer of fog, so much so that outsiders could tell that there were many suspicious points.
On the western side of Tuo Wu Shan, Yang Junxiu had built a bonfire in front of her cave and was roasting a wild rabbit on top of it. As the flame licked and licked the fat off the rabbit meat, a sizzling sound could be heard as sparks flew from the bonfire.
Zhong Jiu “tsked” from the side. “Isn’t it just killing a person, how could it be made so complicated? Even I believe a bit that Jia Bofang is the victim of the secret struggles between the various forces in the Yuzhou’s cultivation world.”
“It’s just to stir the water up a bit more and confuse everyone’s line of sight!”
Bao Yuer’s voice came from the shadow of Yang Junxiu, who was constantly expanding and contracting as the bonfire jumped. If one did not carefully examine it, it would have been impossible to discover that there was actually someone else sitting here.
Zhong Jiu arrived beside the bonfire and reached out to tear off a piece of rabbit meat, but he was unceremoniously ripped apart by Yang Junxiu.
Zhong Jiu didn’t mind and said instead, “Boss, do you want to kill this Jia Bofang or does your Sister-in-Law want you to kill him?”
Yang Junxiu glanced at him, and said: “Of course, my aunt had already disliked this guy. After my brother went missing, this guy jumped the most, coincidentally, Yu’er came out of closed door cultivation, and told sister-in-law that she was going to teach this guy a lesson!”
Zhong Jiu shook his head and laughed bitterly: “In just three days, a killing spree against Dao Realm cultivators was already a success. The three of us are only responsible for killing people to vent our anger, the rest of the benefits are all taken away by the Madame Yang.
Yang Junxiu suddenly threw oveoasted rabbit’s head and caught it in a hurry. Yang Junxiu then said: “Rather than praising others for their methods, I think it’s better for you to increase your own strength. Your cultivation was originally above mine and Fishy’s, although you were dragged down by me and me, delaying your progress to the Ghost King’s level, today the three of us have advanced to the Dao Realm together, and you have seen Yu’er’s method of killing Jia Bofang the other day.
Zhong Jiu looked at the rabbit’s head in his hand, and in the end, threw it onto the ground. He laughed bitterly: “King Yama called you dead, but who told you to stay back? Yu’er is of the bloodline of King Yama, and she has even cultivated the ability of soul reaping and exterminating from the soul of King Yama, so she is the most domineering of them all.
