Chapter 2043

"Judging from the situation of the cultivators who went crazy tonight, the person in the dark is obviously an expert in mind spells."

"The guests at this banquet are from the Nine Mountains and Seas, and most of them are not related to each other. The murderer must have screened some of the guests in advance, so it is unlikely that he used Taoist spells on them."

"Plus, these cultivators didn't seem to be acting strangely before they attacked the guests, so we can guess that they were tricked at the banquet."

"In that case, as long as we find out who they were in contact with at the banquet, the murderer's identity will be clear."

Chu Meixin stood out from the crowd and explained coldly. She was not afraid at all in front of the big shots.

Gu Chen, who was in the crowd, recalled that Bao Yu had drunk wine for Zhang Hao's sake, and then suddenly went crazy and attacked a ninja. He knew that Chu Meixin was right.

Judging from the time, it was very likely that the murderer had not left the ship yet.

"That makes sense. I suggest that we check all the guests immediately."

Many people nodded in agreement. Thinking that there might be someone hiding beside them who could use mind spells to control them, no one felt at ease.

"If no one has any objections, the Sword Garret will organize people to check. All guests, please stay where you are," Chu Meixin said.

The Sword Garret, which was responsible for guarding the ship, would lose face if someone died. They had to catch the murderer as soon as possible so that they could answer to their sect.

"Junior Sister Chu is right."

Song Chuicheng agreed with her in a daze. He was tall and strong, and with that terrifying heavy sword, many people didn't dare to say a word.

"There is no need to check. It is just a waste of time," Medusa suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Chu Meixin frowned.

"The murderer has just escaped. My maid is chasing after him. I believe we will find out soon."

Medusa's eyes flashed as she explained.

"There's such a thing?"

The crowd was in an uproar when they heard this. They were doubtful. There was indeed one maid missing from Medusa's side, but no one had seen the murderer escape.

"This … Madam Du, are you sure?"

Chu Meixin was surprised. The disciples of the Sword Garret had been patrolling the nearby sea, but no one had seen what Madam Du had said.

Moreover, if the murderer was really the murderer, his strength must be extraordinary. It did not make sense that only Madam Du's maid was chasing after him.

Most importantly, why didn't Madam Du say these things when she was criticized by others?

If she only said it now, it would make people feel that she was trying to hide something!

"I'm sure. You don't have to worry, I'll definitely give everyone an explanation tomorrow, and the auction will be held as scheduled. "

Medusa spoke with certainty. Seeing her so confident, many guests felt relieved.

"I wonder where the murderer escaped to? Just in case, we should send more people to hunt them down. "

Chu Meixin asked. She didn't want to go along with Medusa.

She was a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, and there was no need for her to follow the orders of the other party. There was definitely something fishy going on, and she wanted to figure it out!

Hearing Chu Meixin's words, Medusa glanced at her and smiled brightly.

Before Medusa could answer, a sword light flew across the night sky and landed on the ship in the blink of an eye!

The newcomer was dressed in linen clothes and had a haggard face. He looked like an old man with one foot in the coffin.

The guests burst into an uproar when they saw him, and the disciples of the Sword Firmament Pavilion immediately bowed to him.

"Greetings, Elder Zhuge!"

Chu Meixin and the other disciples said.

"Great Sage Zhuge!"

Many of the guests present said.

In the crowd, Gu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhuge Songbai was an elder of the Sword Firmament Pavilion with the cultivation of a Great Sage. At the same time, he was also the person in charge of maintaining the order of the auction in Binhai City!

When one's Dao Power reached 655 million, one could become a Sage. The Sage realm actually had a more detailed division.

When one's Dao Power exceeded 855 million, one could become a Sage Monarch. When it exceeded 155 million, one would be known as a Great Sage!

Below the Dao Ancestor, Great Sages could be said to be invincible existences. Even Great Sages with Dao Power exceeding 455 million and were only one step away from the Dao Ancestor realm were known as Quasi-Dao Ancestors!

Zhuge Songbai's cultivation had reached the Great Sage realm, and it was rumored that he was one of the top three existences in the Sword Firmament Pavilion. He was deeply respected, so few guests dared to put on airs when he appeared.

Of course, those who dared to put on airs in front of him wouldn't bother to attend any banquets. Those who were interested in the auction would only go directly to the auction house.

"Everyone has been frightened tonight. The disruption of the banquet is the negligence of the Sword Firmament Pavilion. We will definitely find the mastermind behind the attack on the banquet. Please rest assured.

"It's late at night. Tonight's banquet will end here. Everyone, rest early. I believe that tomorrow's auction will be very exciting."

Zhuge Songbai cupped his hands at the crowd. With the Great Sage personally appeasing them, the worries of many guests instantly disappeared without a trace.

The hidden murderer would probably lose his life very soon. He actually alarmed the Great Sage to show himself!

With the Great Sage's assurance, the guests gave up on the idea of investigating and left one after another.

"Elder Zhuge, should we send some people to accompany the Ghost Parade to track the murderer?"

Chu Meixin stood behind Zhuge Songbai and asked politely.

"There's no need. Just leave the matter to Madam Du. You guys have worked hard. Go back. "

Zhuge Songbai said coldly. Chu Meixin had a strange feeling in her heart when she heard that.

Although she didn't know much about Elder Zhuge, she heard that he was a person who valued his reputation. Now that someone had attacked the banquet that the guards of the Sword Firmament Pavilion were in charge of, it was equivalent to slapping his face. Yet, he actually didn't have the slightest intention to investigate further?

Chu Meixin was confused, but she knew that she shouldn't ask too much. She nodded.

"Alright, disciple understands."

After giving instructions to the disciples of the Sword Firmament Pavilion, Zhuge Songbai glanced at Medusa. Then, he turned into a sword light and soared into the sky. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Gu Chen witnessed the whole thing. He didn't say a word and seemed to be deep in thought.

After that, Medusa left with her maidservant. Looking at the direction in which she had left, Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and didn't follow her.

After the accident tonight, Medusa would definitely be extremely vigilant. There would be more eyes on her in the city. If he followed her now, it would be too easy to expose himself.

Not long after, Gu Chen also said goodbye to Ji Yang and left alone.

During this time, Ninja Hidden and the Clay Bodhisattva had already left one step ahead of him. The two of them didn't have any communication from beginning to end. They looked like complete strangers.

Ninja Hidden and the Clay Bodhisattva first followed Zhang Hao and the others back to the Leaping Carp Tower. Then, Ninja Hidden snuck out and met up with Gu Chen. The two of them exchanged identities.

When the real Gu Chen returned to the Leaping Carp Tower, the Clay Bodhisattva took out the ball of light that Zhang Hao had given to Ninja Hidden, and Ninja Hidden had given it to him.

Looking at the unconscious Bao Yu in the ball of light, Gu Chen's eyes lit up.

Tonight's attack on the banquet by the mysterious person, as well as Medusa's reaction, and even the appearance of the Great Sage Zhuge, made him instinctively feel that this mysterious person might be an important breakthrough point in taking down Medusa!

Now that this person's whereabouts were unknown, he might be able to find his whereabouts through Bao Yu, who was under his control!
