Junior sister took first place again

After Ji Tang left Xue Wuying, he returned to the camp with mixed emotions.

As soon as she stepped into the barrier of the immortal gate, she met Wen Xingzhou head-on.

Wen Xingzhou was walking out of a tent. His tall figure and handsome face looked particularly dazzling under the luminous stone.

Ji Tang paused slightly. For some reason, every time he saw the Sword Immortal's eldest disciple, Ji Tang felt that something was wrong with him.

Her heartbeat would involuntarily accelerate, her blood would surge like a tide, and a faint blush would instantly appear on her cheeks.

This feeling made her confused and uneasy, because she had always been proud and arrogant, and found it difficult to control such emotional fluctuations.

Ji Tang tried to remain calm. She nodded slightly and greeted Wen Xingzhou in a calm tone, "Wen Xianjun."

Wen Xingzhou smiled slightly, with a warm light in his eyes: "Ji Xianjun must be going out for something."

Ji Tang's heart trembled, but he pretended to be embarrassed and replied, "Excuse me, Immortal Lord Wen. My clan was worried and sent some things over. I thought it would be inconvenient for them to come in and out of the main camp, so I went to the other courtyard to get it myself."

Wen Xingzhou understood, "It is a blessing for the Tianque Realm that Immortal Lord Ji can come."

"I dare not. Resisting the demons is our responsibility."

Ji Tang spoke politely and maintained due courtesy, trying his best to appear more low-key and humble.

However, when she occasionally met Wen Xingzhou's eyes, the feeling of her heart beating suddenly faster and her blood rushing up instantly came again like a tide, almost making it difficult for her to control herself.

Ji Tang was puzzled and became more alert. She quickly turned her gaze away from Wen Xingzhou and looked elsewhere, trying to calm herself down.

The other party is an important figure in the sect. I must remain sober and rational at this moment and not be swayed by such inexplicable emotions.

Ji Tang didn't understand why she had such emotional fluctuations towards Wen Xingzhou. This feeling of being out of control made her feel uneasy.

Since he was assigned to work under Wen Xingzhou, when he was not fighting, he had more dealings with him.

Whenever facing Wen Xingzhou, Ji Tang always feels strange emotions.

Ji Tang once tried to attribute this feeling to Wen Xingzhou's beauty.

After all, no matter how much she disliked the demon clan and the people from the sect, Ji Tang had to admit that the appearance of King Qingxiao and Wen Xingzhou could be said to be uniquely good-looking among all the creatures she had seen.

But despite this, Ji Tang knew very well in his heart that such an explanation could not convince him in any way.

After all, her feelings for Wen Xingzhou were far more than just superficial coveting or a momentary infatuation. There must be deeper, more complex, and inexplicable reasons behind it.

Ji Tang firmly believed that this must be closely related to the sealed memory.

Those past events that were buried deep in her heart seemed to be subtly affecting her current attitude and feelings towards Wen Xingzhou.

Ji Tang clearly remembered what she did after leaving Hehuan Palace. She was captured by the demon tribe in the secret realm. Did this sword immortal's eldest disciple really not know that he had secretly entered the secret realm at that time?

Thinking of this, Ji Tang made a decision in an instant: she would no longer be manipulated by such inexplicable emotions! She wanted to turn passivity into initiative, to explore the truth and solve the mystery.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, as Wen Xingzhou passed by her, Ji Tang suddenly turned around and called out, "Wen Xianjun, please stay. I have something to ask you."

Hearing Ji Tang's words, Wen Xingzhou slowly turned around, a look of confusion and surprise flashing across his face, but he still replied in his usual gentle tone: "Oh? Please go ahead, Immortal Ji."

At this moment, a disciple from the Immortal Sect hurried over and reported in a panic, "Immortal Lord Wen, this is bad! Bi Heng's soul lamp from the Tianyuan Sect has gone out. The Sect Master has arrived in person and is waiting for you, the commanders, in the main camp!"

Upon hearing the news of Bi Heng's death, Ji Tang and Wen Xingzhou were deeply moved.

Ji Tang was shocked. She knew that it was Xue Wuying who did it, but she didn't expect that he would succeed so quickly.

She originally thought that Xue Wuying's plan would take at least some time to develop. After all, as the son of the Tianyuan Sect's leader, Bi Heng must be closely guarded. Moreover, the situation in the secret realm was complex and changeable, so it would not be easy to successfully kill Bi Heng.

However, Xue Wuying eliminated Bi Heng quietly and swiftly, which forced Ji Tang to re-evaluate Xue Wuying's methods and abilities.

In her heart, she secretly admired Xue Wuying's ruthlessness and efficiency, but at the same time she was also a little worried because Xue Wuying's strong performance might arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the immortal sect, thus bringing potential crisis to the Ji family.

Ji Tang couldn't help but think of Xue Wuying's seemingly lazy but actually shrewd face. She vaguely felt that Xue Wuying still had many unknown secrets and powers, and these might play a key role in the next situation.

Wen Xingzhou frowned, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart. Bi Heng's death was undoubtedly a huge shock at the moment.

Bi Heng was not an ordinary person. He was the son of the leader of the Tianyuan Sect. His death for no reason in the Cangwu Secret Realm, which was heavily guarded by the Immortal Sect, would inevitably cause an uproar within the Immortal Sect and disrupt the original plans and layout.

Wen Xingzhou knew very well that the struggle between the immortals and the demons was already complicated, and now with this variable added, the situation became even more confusing.

He was worried that the Immortal Sect would fall into chaos and give the demons an opportunity to take advantage.

At the same time, he was also puzzled about the cause of Bi Heng's death. Bi Heng should have been strictly protected in the secret realm. Who on earth had such powerful strength and careful plan to be able to kill him in public?

Various scenes in the secret realm emerged in Wen Xingzhou's mind. He began to think about possible clues and suspects, trying to make sense of the complicated situation.

"Master Ji, this matter is urgent. Let's go to the main camp first." Wen Xingzhou said in a deep voice. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the main camp.

Ji Tang followed closely behind. When the two arrived at the camp, they saw Bi Kai, the leader of Tianyuan Sect, standing in the center of the camp with a gloomy face and eyes full of anger and pain.

His gaze was like lightning, sweeping across everyone present, and finally fixed on Master Zhaoyu.

"Master Zhaoyu, your sect must give me an explanation for this matter." Bi Kai asked in a deep voice. His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

In the camp, the atmosphere was as solemn as a mountain. Bi Kai, the leader of Tianyuan Sect, stood in front of Zhaoyu Zhenjun, his eyes as sharp as knives, as if he wanted to see through Zhaoyu Zhenjun.

The anger and murderous intent in him swept through the entire camp like a violent storm, freezing the air around him.

"Zhao Yu Zhenjun, a disciple of my Tianyuan Sect died in the secret realm for no apparent reason. As the primary responsible party for this matter, your sect must give me an explanation!"

Bi Kai's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Master Zhao Yu's heart hard, carrying endless anger and accusations.

True Monarch Zhao Yu's expression remained calm. She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of unquestionable firmness and majesty. "Sect Master Bi, as the primary responsible party for this secret realm, our Hehuan Palace does have a responsibility to protect the disciples within. However, this secret realm is a grand event for the immortal sects, and each sect has arranged for protection, including your own. The cause of Bi Heng's death is still unknown. We at Hehuan Palace will fully cooperate with the investigation, ascertain the truth as quickly as possible, and provide your sect with an explanation."

"Alright! Quickly and quickly, I just want the truth." Bi Kai snorted coldly, a cold glint in his eyes. He desperately wanted to know the cause of Bi Heng's death so that he could avenge his son.

At the same time, he was also testing Zhao Yu Zhenjun's attitude and reaction, trying to find flaws in her words.

True Lord Zhao Yu smiled slightly, a trace of calmness and confidence flashing in his eyes: "Sect Master Bi, Hehuan Palace has always attached great importance to the safety of the disciples in the secret realm, and will never allow the disciples to be harmed without reason."

"As for the cause of Bi Heng's death, I am still unclear about it, but I will find out the truth as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Sect Master Bi, Hehuan Palace will handle the matter impartially and will not show any partiality."

"I hope my son didn't die in a conspiracy." Bi Kai said coldly, with a threatening light flashing in his eyes.

Although he knew that Zhao Yu Zhenjun was the ruler of Changyin Sect and his cultivation was not much lower than his, he could not care less because of his son's death.

At this moment, Wen Xingzhou spoke up from the side. His voice was calm but powerful. "Sect Master Bi, True Monarch Zhaoyu has made his position clear. Hehuan Palace will fully cooperate with the investigation. The cause of death is currently unknown. We all need to remain calm and not get too excited about this matter, so as not to affect the unity of the immortal sect and the overall situation against the demons."

Bi Kai turned his head and looked at Wen Xingzhou. Although he was angry, he also knew that what Wen Xingzhou said made sense.

He was startled and knew that he couldn't get too excited about this matter, so as not to cause contradictions and conflicts within the immortal sect and give the demons an opportunity to take advantage.

"Okay, I'll wait for your investigation results." Bi Kai said coldly, then turned and left.

Wen Xingzhou and Ji Tang also stood aside, both planning to investigate personally because Wen Xingzhou would not let these things threaten the safety of his junior sister.

Moreover, Bi Heng's death will trigger a series of chain reactions. He must find out the truth as soon as possible to stabilize the situation for the Immortal Sect, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Wen Xingzhou's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with thought. He was analyzing various possibilities of Bi Heng's death, trying to find clues.

Ji Tang was secretly calculating in her heart. She knew that there was a complex conspiracy and power struggle hidden behind this matter, and she had to deal with it carefully.

At this moment, Ji Tang suddenly said, "Wen Xianjun, I am quite familiar with the situation in the secret realm. I am willing to join the team into the secret realm and assist in the investigation."

Wen Xingzhou looked at Ji Tang calmly, then agreed to Ji Tang's request: "Okay, if Immortal Ji is willing to assist in the investigation, that's great. Let's enter the secret realm together and find out the cause of Bi Heng's death."

Ji Tang was delighted, knowing this was a great opportunity to learn the secrets of the secret realm and explore the truth of her memories. She secretly made up her mind to find the answers in the secret realm and solve the mystery in her heart.

Ji Tang followed Wen Xingzhou and once again entered the Cangwu Secret Realm. This time, her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

On the one hand, she was excited to be able to enter the secret realm again because it contained clues to her sealed memories.

On the other hand, she also felt a little nervous and uneasy, because the situation in the secret realm was complicated and full of unknown dangers.

The moment he stepped into the secret realm, Ji Tang immediately felt a strong spiritual energy mixed with a hint of demonic energy coming towards him.

The spiritual energy here was completely different from that of the outside world. It seemed to contain a mysterious and ancient power that lifted her spirits.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and immersed her mind completely in the surrounding environment, trying to perceive more information.

The two of them traveled quickly all the way and finally arrived at the place where Bi Heng died. It was a dark valley, surrounded by towering peaks. A light mist filled the valley bottom, giving people a gloomy and depressing feeling.

As soon as Ji Tang and Wen Xingzhou stepped into the valley, they felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here not long ago.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the front: "You are finally here."

As the voice rang out, a figure slowly emerged from the mist as if walking out of a fairyland. Upon closer inspection, this person was Ni Chaomu, who had been investigating the cause of Bi Heng's death.

She stood tall and straight, with a stern expression and eyes as sharp as cold stars, staring directly at Wen Xingzhou and Ji Tang. She looked more like a sword cultivator than a charm cultivator.

"Mr. Wen Xian."

"Ji Xianjun."

Ni Chaomu was the first to salute the two of them.

Wen Xingzhou nodded slightly. "Ni Xianjun, we've been ordered to assist with the investigation. Have you found anything?"

He was very concerned about the progress of Ni Chaomu's investigation. After all, she had been at the scene and might have grasped some key clues.

Ni Chaomu said businesslike, "I've examined Bi Heng's body. Judging from his injuries, he was killed by a surprise attack from behind with a sword. Furthermore, the killer's swordsmanship was exceptionally skilled, and a single strike was enough to kill him, leaving Bi Heng no chance to resist."

She paused and continued, "Also, I found several traces of a struggle, but the murderer seemed to have deliberately concealed the scale of the battle, making it difficult to determine the specific circumstances at the time."

Ji Tang glanced around, secretly guessing the identity of the murderer. Could it be a spy from the demon clan? Or a master from the immortal sect?

Wen Xingzhou frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything special about the murderer's swordsmanship? Can you tell where it came from?"

He was also thinking about the identity of the murderer. If he could find clues from his swordsmanship, perhaps he could narrow the scope of the investigation.

Ni Chaomu shook his head. "Although the killer's swordsmanship is superb, it doesn't have any special markings. I can't tell his origins from his swordsmanship."

"However, one thing is certain: the murderer was very familiar with Bi Heng's whereabouts and was able to approach and attack him silently. This means that the murderer is likely someone close to Bi Heng."
