At the high-level meeting of the Orthodox Alliance, Long Ming was cornered by Murong Tianqi's few words.
After a long while, he said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I have worked tirelessly for the Orthodox Alliance these years, and it's time for me to have a good rest.
Go ahead and investigate. My Long family acts upright and honestly, we have nothing to hide, and we are not afraid of your investigation!
However, I warn you, if you dare to twist facts and frame my Long family, don't blame my Long family for not being polite to you. You should know that not everyone is afraid of the Orthodox Alliance!"
The meeting ended unhappily. Long Ming left the conference room first without even waiting for the meeting to conclude.
In the conference room, the remaining people looked at each other. After some discussion, Xuanyuan Jie volunteered to replace Long Ming in managing the internal control department.
Under his leadership, the internal control department would also investigate the case of Ling Tian's attack and the matters concerning the Tianshan Sword Sect!
...
In the border province, at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, beside a small forest, dozens of cars of various sizes had already surrounded the small forest.
This small forest was precisely where Yun Zhan, the young sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect, had died.
At this moment, hundreds of disciples of the Tianshan Sword Sect were gathered inside and outside the forest, systematically searching the surrounding area.
Beneath a large tree in the forest, a corpse lay on the ground, still covered with a white cloth. This corpse was none other than Yun Zhan, the young sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect.
Beside him stood a man, who was Yun Hantian, the sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect.
At this moment, Yun Hantian's face was devoid of any expression, as if he were a stone without emotions.
His eyes were fixed on the place where his son had died! Within this body, a monstrous rage was brewing, ready to erupt at any moment!
Yun Zhan was his only son. This child had extraordinary talent. Since childhood, Yun Hantian had invested a vast amount of resources in Yun Zhan, expecting his son to inherit his legacy.
However, he never expected to suddenly receive the devastating news. A white-haired man sending off a black-haired one – such a blow was incredibly painful!
At this moment, two people walked towards Yun Hantian. One of them bore a resemblance to Yun Hantian and was a few years younger.
This person was named Yun Hanshan, the deputy sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect and Yun Hantian's right-hand man. He usually handled the sect's numerous affairs and was highly capable in all aspects.
Beside Yun Hanshan stood an elder in his early sixties. This man was smiling, always wearing a cheerful expression, appearing to be an optimist.
Strangers meeting this man would surely be deceived by his appearance and easily let down their guard around him.
This man was named Tang Juncheng, and he had a nickname in the martial arts world: the Smiling Yama!
This man's martial arts were average, but his greatest skill was hypnosis!
For ordinary people, a few seconds of face-to-face contact would result in them being hypnotized. He would implant commands into the subconscious of the hypnotized, making them reveal their secrets or do his bidding! Da Feng Novel Network
He was, of course, a member of the crooked path and was wanted by the Orthodox Alliance. However, this man had been missing for decades, and everyone assumed he was dead!
In reality, Tang Juncheng was not dead; rather, he was living well. Over ten years ago, while being pursued by enemies and with no way out, he was saved by Yun Hantian, the sect leader of the Tianshan Sword Sect.
Yun Hantian treated him well, healed his injuries, and even concealed his identity, allowing him to settle in the Tianshan Sword Sect.
Tang Juncheng felt that instead of fighting alone like before, living like a rat crossing the street, constantly hiding his tracks, it was better to align himself with Yun Hantian.
At the very least, within the Tianshan Sword Sect, he could live comfortably and occasionally lend a hand in matters that the Tianshan Sword Sect found inconvenient to handle directly.
Every year, he received substantial resources from the Tianshan Sword Sect without having to live in constant fear.
A few days ago, it was he who personally hypnotized the pilot William, implanting commands into his subconscious to make him crash the plane at high altitude!
However, at that time, he never imagined that despite believing he had destroyed all the surrounding cameras, there was a peeping pervert several hundred meters away who had captured his every move!
Although the Orthodox Alliance had not yet uncovered his true identity, his somewhat blurry photograph was already being circulated online with a wanted notice.
"Juncheng, how are those two drivers you interrogated?" Yun Hantian asked directly.
"Sect Leader, those two have no abnormalities. They truly knew nothing, and what they said was the truth!"
For someone like Tang Juncheng, who was skilled in hypnosis, extracting information from someone was incredibly easy. He had just hypnotized the two men, and they had truthfully recounted the events of the incident.
Yun Hantian then turned his gaze to his brother.
"Hanshan, what have you discovered?"
"Sect Leader, I haven't found anything either! We didn't even find any footprints at the scene!
I surmise that the person who killed Xiao Zhan was extremely skilled in martial arts, possibly even a cultivator..." Yun Hanshan said.
"You are correct. The one who killed Xiao Zhan was a cultivator, and furthermore, this murderer can also use a flying sword!"
As Yun Hantian spoke, he roughly pulled off the white cloth covering the corpse, revealing the wounds on the body and the long sword.
"You two, look. This treasured sword, although very sharp, is not a divine weapon!
Even a master swordsman would find it difficult to pierce a person with this sword and then penetrate this tree more than a meter in front of him!
Even a Sword Sect Grandmaster would find it difficult to achieve this. Only a flying sword can accomplish this!
To possess such power, the initial velocity of this sword strike is comparable to a bullet, so only someone who uses a flying sword can achieve this!" Yun Hantian said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Yun Hanshan's face immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
"Those who can use flying swords nowadays are extremely rare, and most of them are from our Tianshan Sword Sect.
There are very few others left. Why would they have any dealings with our Tianshan Sword Sect?"
"Who says there aren't! Have you forgotten the Long family!" Yun Hantian said, his eyes bloodshot.
"The Yun family? That's unlikely! We have an engagement between our two families!" Yun Hanshan said in disbelief.
"Have you forgotten that a few days ago, Xiao Zhan was ambushed!"
