It turns out that the Great Elder of the Witch Tribe has arrived, but instead of treating Yuwen Jun as an honored guest as usual, he ordered his detention seriously.
No wonder the Witch Tribe’s Elder acted this way; on the day of the great chaos within the Witch Tribe, Yuwen Jun was also there. Although the subsequent events unfolded after his departure, how could such coincidences exist in the world?
In the eyes of the Great Elder, Yuwen Jun was also among the suspects.
And he was a major suspect at that!
After all, those holding the Beast Bone Token could move freely here; it’s difficult to say that Yuwen Jun isn’t behind the severe hit the Witch Tribe took.
Yuwen Jun did not struggle against the accusations; he surrendered without a fight and was shoved all the way to the Divine Temple.
At this moment, black curtains hung in the temple, which is the unique mourning tradition of the Witch Tribe; they hang black instead of white when someone from the tribe dies.
Yuwen Jun observed his surroundings without a ripple of emotion. However, his surveying caught the attention of the guard who was escorting him, and the guard immediately pressed his head down: "What are you staring at? Stay put!"
"..." Yuwen Jun pursed his lips but ultimately did not speak out against it.
Soon, all the Elders and the Saintess of the Witch Tribe arrived at the hall. Everyone stared gravely at Yuwen Jun as if they were trying to glare several holes through this suspicious outsider.
Yuwen Jun tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Do you have any evidence to list me as a suspect?"
They had no evidence. To tell the truth, up to now, they had no idea who the murderer was.
The only outsider who had come and gone during this period was Yuwen Jun. At first, they didn’t suspect him, but now that he had returned, it seemed very suspicious.
Hearing this reason, Yuwen Jun couldn’t help but laugh: "You can’t even distinguish friend from foe; it’s no wonder you’re still trapped here passively, without making any other moves."
"Presumptuous!" The Great Elder felt offended by Yuwen Jun’s words and slammed the table unhappily.
Yuwen Jun sneered: "Am I wrong? The Gu Master was killed; I do not believe that in a mountain with thousands of people, not one witnessed anything. Even without witnesses, can’t any clues be inferred from the crime scene?"
"The clues point to you!" The Elder was so angry that he glared fiercely with bristling beard and threw out a bunch of Mystic Iron Arrow Feathers.
"These were found in the Forbidden Land, and in today’s world, only your royal family possesses such an abundance of iron weapons.
Moreover, it was you who appeared on Witch Ancestor Mountain that day. Perhaps you won the Gu Master’s trust and then committed the crime!"
Yuwen Jun saw the bows and arrows on the ground, with a trace of shock in his eyes.
He was indeed familiar with these arrow feathers; they were the ones crafted by people from Humming Abyss!
But his Humming Abyss had already been wiped out by a mysterious force, and nothing was left behind.
At first, Yuwen Jun didn’t understand why anyone would dare to touch Witch Ancestor Mountain so brazenly. After seeing the arrow feathers, he suddenly realized.
Whoever caused great turmoil at Witch Ancestor Mountain must be the same group that wiped out Humming Abyss and even Thousand Miles!
And the only possibility was Yuwen Luanfei!
Could it be that he wanted to control the Three-Branch Junction? Or maybe the Three Kings’ Sword Gesture was just a ruse to numb them, waiting to take over Three-Branch Junction without anyone being the wiser, then feigning alliance and launching an attack on Eastern Land; by that time, they would be placed in a reactive position!
With this thought, Yuwen Jun’s face turned ashen.
Yuwen Jun was no longer as relaxed as before. He looked solemnly at the Witch Tribe’s Elder: "I understand that given the suspicious coincidences, it’s reasonable for you to harbor doubts about me, but I’m not the murderer!
Consider this; if I were the killer and had already succeeded, why would I bother to return and walk into a trap?"
