The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 246 Investigation
There is a mountain road at the foot of Wufeng Mountain, surrounded by lush greenery and dense jungle.

The mountain road is rugged and winding, and not easy to walk on. Even a knight with excellent riding skills can only pass on one horse.

However, on one section of the mountain road, there is a large resting area with a huge rock next to it. This is where Feng Shixian died.

After Chen Pingan arrived here, he conducted a detailed investigation. But unfortunately, it was too long since Feng Shixian's death, and he did not find any valuable clues.

However, there were some traces of battle left around, such as broken trees, dark scorched earth, and broken stones.

Chen Pingan observed carefully and finally came to a conclusion.

"It seems that the information provided by Zhao Zhiting is correct. The people who killed Feng Shixian are not as strong as Feng Shixian! Otherwise, there would not be so many traces of these battles left behind!"

"However, since there is no crushing victory, the opponent's strength is still more obvious than Feng Shixian's. Otherwise, with the geographical advantage here, Feng Shixian would have a chance to escape!"

"In addition, the damage caused during the fight here was not great. The opponent should have been suppressing Feng Shixian from beginning to end."

Chen Pingan combined the situation at the scene to verify the information given by Zhao Zhiting. Comparing the two, the information given by Zhao Zhiting was extremely reliable.

The overall area here is still relatively remote. If it weren't for the information provided by Zhao Zhiting, Chen Pingan would probably not be able to find this place for a while if he relied on himself.

This was also Liu Yuanhua's conspiracy. He had not responded to his request to read Feng Shixian's files. He intended to waste Chen Ping'an's time on these meaningless things.

"Let's take a look around!" After inspecting the situation on the scene, Chen Pingan looked up into the distance.

He led the horse along the winding mountain path. He did not notice anything unusual along the way. But when he turned a corner, he could just see a building faintly visible on another hilltop in the distance through the gaps in the lush trees.

"What's over there?" Chen Pingan looked puzzled.

The mountain path he was on was surrounded by dense trees on both sides. In addition, due to the angle, most of the time, he couldn't see the building on the other hill. In addition, the building was not high and was blocked by tall trees around it, which made it even more difficult to find.

"Let's go and take a look!" Chen Pingan's mind moved, and he prepared to go there to find out what was going on.

Based on his long-term way of thinking, this building on the other hill might be related to Feng Shixian's death.

There isn't much evidence, it's just a conscious consideration.

As the saying goes, "If you look at the mountain, you will die." The mountain on this side looked close, but it was actually not as close as imagined. Moreover, due to the obstruction of the surrounding trees and the rugged mountain road, Chen Pingan could not find a way to get through for a while.

"Nothing is easy!" Chen Pingan sighed.

He found a suitable place, tied up the horse, then took the right direction, and in a flash, he jumped out of the mountain path.

As the saying goes, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line!
Since he can’t find the mountain path, he’ll just go straight there!
Chen Ping'an's true energy surged, and his body was light, like a fallen leaf blown up by the wind, constantly moving and tumbling among the trees. Chen Ping'an's body was agile, and every time he landed, he used the force just right, constantly moving and jumping among the gravel and trees in the mountains.

The hills on both sides were extremely far apart, and the middle was extremely steep. A person with ordinary internal energy level would not dare to do what Chen Pingan did. If his internal energy was insufficient, he would be at risk of falling if he relied solely on his physical strength.

After nearly half a quarter of an hour, Chen Pingan landed steadily on the rocky ground.

Ok?
Chen Pingan frowned slightly and saw clearly what the building on the hilltop was.

It’s a Taoist temple!
It looks quite old, and is deserted from the outside. There is a mottled wooden sign hanging on the lintel with the words "Baiyun Temple" written on it.

"Why is there a Taoist temple here?" Chen Ping'an was slightly stunned, his mind moved, and he quietly went in.

The Taoist temple looked low, but it was actually quite large. There were three courtyards and more than 20 rooms. Chen Pingan held his breath and looked around quietly. After looking around, he found nothing except a few Taoists in robes.

However, what made Chen Pingan a little concerned was that these Taoists were not ordinary people. Without exception, they were all accomplished in martial arts. The one with the highest level of cultivation had already entered the fifth level of Qi and Blood!

"At the fifth level of Qi and Blood, if the opportunity is right, he can be in charge of a place and serve as an official! Why are you willing to be a Taoist priest in this deep mountain forest?!" This discovery made Chen Pingan feel quite strange, and he decided to stay here and take a closer look. "I want to see what's going on!?"

Chen Pingan was in the middle realm of Xuanguang, and was approaching the late stage of the middle realm. His background was extremely amazing. He was hiding it on purpose, so these Taoists naturally could not find it.

Chen Pingan found that there was nothing special about these Taoist priests except that they sat cross-legged in meditation and did some exercises. After observing the whole thing, he found that there were about ten Taoist priests in the whole Taoist temple.

All of these people have embarked on martial arts training, and the one with the highest level of cultivation is the one who has reached the fifth level of Qi and Blood that he discovered at the beginning.

As the sky darkened, two Taoist priests were chatting casually outside after finishing their evening lessons.

"I don't know when the temple master and his men will be back. It's been almost a day since they left in the morning. According to past experience, they should be back in the evening!"

"Have you forgotten? Now it's the monthly purchase, so it will naturally take more time for the temple master and his men."

"Oh, yes, yes. Monthly purchases are different. I thought this was a regular ten-day purchase."

"Well, you remembered it wrong."

"."

The two chatted idly, and Chen Pingan heard everything they said.

"Master? So there are still a few people outside?"

Chen Pingan hid behind the eaves under the cover of night, concealing his breath. Speaking of which, he was really bored. Just for a guess in his mind, he stayed here for most of the day without eating or drinking.

Not to mention the Xuanguan realm, even an ordinary Neiqi realm cultivator wouldn't have so much free time.

Chen Pingan found it funny.

About half an hour later, he suddenly heard some noises. After a while, seven or eight people came in from outside the Taoist temple. They were all carrying loads of various sizes.

The leader was a tall and thin Taoist priest who looked like an immortal.

"Sixth level of Qi and Blood!" Chen Pingan recognized the other party's realm at a glance.

"Guanzhu!"

"Master, you are back?"

"."

The Taoist temple became lively, and people began to sort out the supplies they had bought. The tall and thin old Taoist looked around, and after finding nothing unusual, he returned to the room in the backyard.

"Go back to your room as soon as you get back?" Chen Pingan observed secretly.

Chen Ping'an watched for a long time and found that the old Taoist never came out after entering the room.

By the time everyone in the Taoist temple had sorted out their supplies and the noise had died down, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. The old Taoist was also silent in his room.

After looking around and confirming that there was no one around, Chen Pingan landed on the ground silently and quietly came to the entrance of the Taoist's room. He looked inside through the window.

This sight made Chen Pingan stunned for a moment.

There's no one inside!
