Yuwen Jun maintained a calm facade, but in his heart, he had already determined the reason the murderer had entered.
They most likely aimed for the Ancient Treasure Box!
With this thought, Yuwen Jun couldn’t help but clench his fists; could it be that Yuwen Luanfei’s people were still following him inside?
"Young Master Yuwen, have you made any new discoveries?"
Seeing Yuwen Jun clench his fists abruptly, combined with the microexpressions he had displayed whilst inspecting the body earlier, the Great Elder felt he must have identified the real culprit.
Yuwen Jun came back to his senses, saying: "I still need to confirm a few things."
With that, Yuwen Jun swiftly exited, returning to the charred Insect Pool. Under the Great Elder’s astonished gaze, he took out the Flying Tiger Claw from his waist, swiftly hung it on the corridor column, and then leapt down.
Then, the Great Elder watched as Yuwen Jun flitted about in that area.
Yuwen Jun’s expression grew more solemn after reexamining the traces of the struggle on the cliff wall and resurfacing.
"How did it go?" The Great Elder was very concerned.
Yuwen Jun glanced at him calmly: "Now I can preliminarily target a suspect, but before arriving at the answer, there are some matters I need to confirm."
"What else needs to be verified?" The Great Elder was extremely anxious: "Or perhaps you could tell me who you’ve targeted as the suspect first; this suspense is quite agonizing for me as well."
Yuwen Jun expressed his helplessness: "Based on the cuts on the body of the Gu Master and the traces of battle left on the cliff, only the Four Famous Swords could have made such neat incisions.
However, at this time neither Azure Tail nor Vermilion Demon have appeared, and Bailou is in my possession..."
"Is the murderer the one wielding Mysterious Dipper?" The Great Elder inferred.
Yuwen Jun nodded: "It is indeed a possibility."
"Then, who in the present day wields Mysterious Dipper?"
Yuwen Jun narrowed his eyes: "Li Wenli."
"?" The Great Elder was utterly puzzled.
He had only been out on missions a few times in his youth, thereafter living in seclusion in the mountains, so this name was truly foreign to him.
"Is this some rising star from the Itinerant World?"
Yuwen Jun curled his lip: "No, just an overambitious toad."
"???" The Great Elder was even more bewildered: "A mere minion worthy of wielding Mysterious Dipper? Impossible, right? Or is this someone you know?"
"Yes." Yuwen Jun didn’t hide anything, he asked the Great Elder for pen and ink, and sketched out the appearances of Li Wenli and Ah Dao.
"Are these two the ones?"
Looking at Li Wenli’s clear and handsome features, the Great Elder subconsciously shook his head; the first person who had rushed out was covered in poison juice, and he was so darkened that he couldn’t make out any features.
As for the second black-clothed person, his build was quite similar to that in the drawing.
Yuwen Jun, hearing this, was about seventy to eighty percent certain.
"Leave this matter to me, I will definitely bring these two murderers back in custody."
"Do you know where they are?"
It turned out that he had underestimated Li Wenli; recalling the gathering at the Imperial Palace, when he and Fox had confronted each other and the latter suddenly burst out with a gloomy killing intent, at that time Yuwen Jun wondered how such intense killing intent could come from that person.
And now, looking back, it seems that the youth had already shown his true colors; it was merely his own oversight.
Going back further, whether it was Fahua Temple, Famous Scholar Mountain, or Humming Abyss, these places were successively raided, which perfectly coincides with the time frame in which Li Wenli was around, doesn’t it?
Upon reflection, since the banquet, Li Wenli had not shown up again. Before, Yuwen Jun thought Li Wenli was trying to avoid him out of guilt, but now, it was likely that Li Wenli had already left the Imperial Capital at that time, wasn’t he?
