Chapter 111 Zhou Mo's Death, Zhu Dayou's Suspicion
After glancing at the names on the system, Gao Huohuo scanned Zhou Mo's name and opened his account.
His existence has always been a hidden danger, so now is the perfect time to get rid of him.
Otherwise, if she keeps spreading rumors that she is an evil cultivator, over time, even if others don't believe her, they will start to have doubts.
If he's going to keep talking so much nonsense all day, then let him practice the Heavenly Demon Bone Refining Technique and taste the bitterness of it.
Gao Huohuo began her cultivation in her room, while the Lingyi Sect was thrown into chaos.
After returning, Ma Ruiyu and Zhou Mo were reporting their experiences to Sect Master Lin Dayuan and several elders.
Just as Zhou Mo was about to mention Huo Huo, suddenly, it felt as if all the bones in his body had been crushed by a brute force, and a wave of excruciating pain surged over him.
At the same time, he felt as if he were being tossed around in a pot of boiling oil, and he slid off the chair uncontrollably.
Lin Dayuan and his master Zhu Dayou witnessed this scene and were shocked. They hurriedly turned to look at Ma Ruiyu.
But Ma Ruiyu was unharmed, his face showing only confusion and bewilderment, and he also looked at Zhou Mo.
At Purple Mist Peak, apart from the initial stage, Zhou Mo remained unharmed and unscathed.
How did we end up in this situation without any warning?
"Master, save... me!"
Zhou Mo's weak and feeble cries for help came from the ground, his eyes filled with a mixture of pain and pleading.
Zhu Dayou even went outside the hall to check, using his divine sense to search everywhere, but found nothing unusual.
She hurriedly ran back to Zhou Mo's side, grabbed his wrist, and began to transfer spiritual energy to him.
Unfortunately, it was of no use at all, and only exacerbated Zhou Mo's suffering.
"My disciple, what happened to you? Don't scare me! How did you end up like this after just one trip out?"
Zhu Dayou's words suddenly jolted Zhou Mo awake from his memories. During this trip, he had indeed encountered that vixen, Bai Qiang.
However, the excruciating pain made him speechless, and deep in his eyes was a deep fear and apprehension of Bai Qiang's ruthless methods.
He held onto Zhu Dayou tightly with all his might, his lips slightly parted as if he had a thousand words to say, but he couldn't utter a single word.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Mo could no longer bear the pain, and his arm fell limply to his side.
Seeing his only apprentice die in his arms, Zhu Dayou couldn't help but burst into tears.
This immediately alarmed everyone in the Lingyi faction, including Li Dahai, who had always been at odds with him.
When Li Dahai came out and saw that Zhu Dayou's only apprentice was also dead, the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally felt relieved.
He felt the same grief and helplessness when his three apprentices died, and now it was finally Zhu Dayou's turn to experience the same feeling.
Unfortunately, all three of his apprentices died, and Zhu Dayou alone lost one of them, so he still couldn't compare to him.
Heaven has eyes! He really has to thank that person properly.
If Li Dahai knew that the person who killed his three disciples was the same person who killed Zhu Dayou's disciple, I wonder if he would still think this way.
If the two of them hadn't had any prior conflict and had learned more about the cause of each other's disciples' deaths, they would have connected them as enemies.
Now that Zhou Mo is dead, the only one who still has some doubts about Gao Huohuo is Ma Ruiyu.
After all, Zhou Mo had told him a lot about Bai Qiang before.
Although he hadn't believed it, seeing Zhou Mo die right in front of him now, he still had a sliver of doubt.
However, Ma Ruiyu didn't tell anyone this, because saying it now would only bring trouble to Bai Qiang.
He can test the waters again when he meets Bai Qiang next time.
Four of the disciples sent out by Lingyi for training died one after another, causing widespread panic among the people.
Ma Ruiyu originally wanted to go out and gain more experience, but his master, Lin Dahai, kept him in the sect.
Let him cultivate in the sect for a while, and then go out after his cultivation level has improved a bit.
Since his apprentice died, Zhu Dayou has locked himself in his room and refused to come out to see anyone.
On the contrary, Li Dahai, who had lost three apprentices before, is now starting to walk out of his room.
They've already decided to start taking on new disciples, and all the outer disciples of the Lingyi Sect are eager to do so.
Anyone who wants to become Li Dahai's disciple knows that being accepted into Li Dahai's tutelage now basically means becoming his last disciple.
In the future, he'll save all the good stuff for his apprentices.
That night, Zhu Dayou went to Ma Ruiyu's room alone to find out what had happened to them on their journey.
The moment Ma Ruiyu saw Zhu Dayou, he knew in his heart that the other party was questioning the cause of Zhou Mo's death.
However, he still recounted the events of his trip to Purple Mist Peak in an orderly manner, only deliberately omitting Zhou Mo's evaluation of Bai Qiang.
After listening to Ma Ruiyu's story, Zhu Dayou asked a few questions he wanted to ask.
"Nephew Ma, has Zhou Mo had any conflicts with anyone along the way?"
"There was a disagreement on how to deal with the Mist Monster, but there was no real conflict between us."
"Has he ever offended anyone with his words?"
After a moment's thought, Ma Ruiyu answered methodically:
"I'm not too sure about that. After all, when we were together, we just had differing opinions and argued a few times."
Zhu Dayou then posed a few more questions, to which Ma Ruiyu answered cautiously.
Back in his room, Zhu Dayou was filled with confusion. He had raised Zhou Mo since he was a child.
Apart from being a little arrogant at times, this child has no other bad habits.
Why did he lose his life so tragically after just one trip out?
This clearly indicates that they have provoked some powerful figures, and have offended them deeply.
But there was nothing suspicious in Ma Ruiyu's account.
Furthermore, as a disciple of the sect leader, Ma Ruiyu had no conflict of interest or other contradictions with them, so his words should be credible.
It seems that Zhou Mo must have provoked someone he shouldn't have on his own, to the point that Ma Ruiyu was completely unaware of it.
It's such a pity that he had such a good disciple. Once he finds out the clues, he will definitely avenge his disciple.
Zhu Dayou buried Zhou Mo with reluctance, and then went to the house where he used to live.
The house looks the same as before, but sadly its owner will never return.
Zhu Dayou carefully touched every inch of the place where Zhou Mo had been, and suddenly found a crumpled piece of paper in a corner.
The words "Bai Qiang" were written on it, and next to it was a small painting of a person throwing stones at someone.
Upon suddenly seeing the name Bai Qiang, Zhu Dayou felt a flicker of doubt, but then he recalled Ma Ruiyu's account.
This female cultivator named Bai Qiang is a righteous cultivator with considerable strength, and she is also a great contributor to capturing the evil cultivator.
Logically speaking, Zhou Mo, Zhou Mo's disciple, should only admire such a cultivator and would never offend him!
Thinking of this, Zhu Dayou decided to go outside and find this cultivator himself to see if Zhou Mo's death was related to her.
The next day, Lin Dahai received a telepathic message from Zhu Dayou, saying that he was depressed because his apprentice had died and was going out for a walk.
