Chapter 54: There Is No Truth

During the exchange between the two, a powerful aura rose in front, and a silver-armored cultivator stopped them.

"Snow Moon City is sealed, no entry allowed!"

Both the crane and the white horse stopped. Gao Sheng took out a token and said: "Gao Sheng from the Demon-Elimination Division, specially came to Snow Moon City to eliminate demons."

Lin Jing also took out a token and said: "Lin Jing from the Beast Taming Sect, specially came to Snow Moon City to investigate the missing beast population."

"..."

The silver-armored cultivator looked at this pair of ninth-layer Qi Refining and fourth-layer Qi Refining riding Foundation Establishment mounts, not knowing what to say.

Gao Sheng looked at Lin Jing. You are also here to eliminate demons?

You dislike my low cultivation base... Aren't you only at the fourth layer yourself!

"Nice to meet you. Your horse is truly divine." Lin Jing said.

"This is a Dragon Horse. You from the Beast Taming Sect, don't covet it randomly."

After the silver-armored cultivator checked the tokens of the two, he reported it.

Soon, a middle-aged cultivator whose face was covered by a dense snow-colored beard came personally.

Lin Jing had seen this person's portrait; it was exactly Snow Moon City Lord Tang Qinghan.

Lin Jing was in a trance, not expecting that he would have the same treatment as Senior Brother Ouyang, being able to be received personally by a Golden Core cultivator!

"Young Master Gao... why are you here? Is your father well?" The Snow Moon City Lord ignored Lin Jing and said kindly to the black-clothed youth.

"City Lord Tang, don't be like this. I am Gao Sheng from the Demon-Elimination Division, not Gao Sheng from the Gao family. I came here to solve the case and eliminate demons," the black-clothed youth said: "This is the first case of my joining the Demon-Elimination Division. Please, City Lord Tang, cooperate."

"Snow Moon City will definitely cooperate with the Demon-Elimination Division with all its strength." The City Lord nodded. Afterward, he looked at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing looked at the sky.

The Heavenly Feather Crane said: "Beast Taming Sect, we are from the Beast Taming Sect!"

"So it is a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect... Your sect's disciple Ouyang Hao met with misfortune in my Snow Moon City. It is my negligence as City Lord. I promise that within one month, I will definitely find the real culprit and give your sect an explanation," the City Lord was extremely serious.

"Many thanks, City Lord Tang. We came here this time, also wanting to participate in the investigation," Lin Jing said: "I am a disciple of Danxia Peak, and have been studying poison arts with my master for more than twenty years since I was young. According to the judgment of the sect ancestor, Senior Brother Ouyang was injured by poison, so I was sent here to investigate."

"So that's how it is. Please, both of you, follow me into the city." The City Lord said. The snow mist dissipated, and the tall city walls appeared in front.

In the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord originally wanted to treat the two well, but Gao Sheng said: "Ordinary courtesies can be omitted. City Lord Tang, I... have already understood what happened in Snow Moon City, and have initially determined who the murderer is!"

"What?!" The City Lord was shocked. They had just arrived in Snow Moon City, and he had already determined the murderer?

Lin Jing was also unexpected, not knowing if this brother was reliable. The Senior Senior Shen Song hadn't seen anything yet.

"First, Snow Moon City's property was infringed upon, and disciples of large sects were attacked here. This kind of serious public security problem, who suffers the biggest loss?" Gao Sheng said: "It must be City Lord Tang. If it causes a greater impact later, City Lord Tang's official career will definitely be affected!"

"So, this event looks like demons making trouble, but there is also a certain possibility that it is City Lord Tang's enemy, doing demonic things!"

"I collected detailed information before I came. After Pavilion Master Hua of the Lotus Pavilion came to this Snow Moon City where birds don't poop, because of the various policies set by City Lord Tang, the business of the Lotus Pavilion here is very bleak... There is no hope of promotion... Just now, Brother Lin from the Beast Taming Sect said that the Beast Taming Sect disciples encountered poison injuries in this city..."

"You know, the Lotus Pavilion mainly does elixir business. Every elixir has three parts poison, and only they have quite a bit of research on poison!"

"Please, City Lord Tang, quickly arrest Pavilion Master Hua Qiandao of the Lotus Pavilion." After Gao Sheng finished speaking, he took out a fan and fanned it, extremely elegant.

The City Lord's expression was strange, saying: "Young Master Gao, in my early years, I did have some conflicts with Pavilion Master Hua, but now we have long since reconciled. Snow Moon City has already reached a deep cooperation with the Lotus Pavilion, and the contract has been set. If I fall, he will also be unlucky. Nowadays... we have already prospered together and suffered together."

Gao Sheng continued to fan, silent for a moment.

"You... pretend I didn't say anything."

Lin Jing cupped his fists and took his leave first, feeling that this matter... this person from the Demon-Elimination Division should not be able to help.

"Senior Senior Shen Song Senior... does this City Lord's Mansion have any problems?" After leaving, Lin Jing spread his palm, which was a pine nut.

A voice came from the pine nut.

"No abnormalities were found, and that City Lord Tang has no problems either. However, I already know what poison your senior brother was poisoned with."

"What?" Lin Jing was startled.

"Follow my guidance." The Senior Senior Shen Song spoke.

Lin Jing nodded quickly. After walking for about a few kilometers, he came to a grassland covered in ice and snow.

Under the guidance of the Senior Senior Shen Song, Lin Jing bent down, blew away the ice and snow covering the grass, and pulled out a few purple plants.

"Look at what this is."

Lin Jing looked at the purple grass and fell into deep thought. The "Plant Collection" did not record this kind of plant.

He quickly recalled the miscellaneous books he had read in his brain. Suddenly, after finding that red spots had appeared on his palm, he immediately said: "Petals split, snake-shaped leaves, red rashes appear when touched. This is Worm Feather Grass."

"Not bad." The Senior Senior Shen Song saw that Lin Jing recognized this plant and said: "Then do you know where it likes to grow."

Lin Jing said: "Worm Feather Grass likes to grow in places where poisonous insects are located. It is a poisonous grass produced in the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. Does Senior mean that Senior Brother was injured by poisonous insects..."

"Wait, just ordinary poisonous insects, definitely not something that can make Golden Core elders and Nascent Soul ancestors helpless."

"Poison..." Lin Jing said: "One of the three great demonic sects, the Gu God Sect, has been studying poison arts for tens of thousands of years, and only they possess this kind of difficult strange poison. Gu poison is good at changing to infinity, making people unable to guard against it. Apart from the Gu insect itself, there are few medicines that can be solved. Senior, is the source of the poison you are looking for a Gu insect?"

"Yes," the Senior Senior Shen Song said: "Not only is it not an ordinary poisonous insect, it is definitely not an ordinary Gu insect. This Snow Moon City hides a not-so-small secret. Your senior brother should have been injured by a child Gu, so as long as you find the mother Gu, his ice Gu poison can be perfectly eradicated."

"Brother Lin!" At this time, a person caught up with Lin Jing. It was exactly Gao Sheng from the Demon-Elimination Division.

Lin Jing put away the pine nut and looked at this immortal second generation.

He said to Lin Jing: "Brother Lin, I finally found you."

"Brother Gao, why are you here too?"

Gao Sheng had a lingering fear: "I have a new deduction! So I escaped."

"I thought about it, what the disciples of your sect were poisoned with might be the 'Gu poison' in the Gu God Sect, one of the three great demonic sects!"

Lin Jing couldn't help but admire. It seems this person still has some real learning. Who knew he continued: "Because I suddenly remembered that my father once said that in recent years, the Gu God Sect has used Gu poison to control people's hearts and increased its infiltration into the Ancient Kingdom's localities. City Lord Tang... might have already been controlled by the Gu God Sect with Gu and become a puppet! After all, the cultivation method he cultivates and the ice Gu poison look very compatible. The culprit of everything in Snow Moon City is him!"

Lin Jing:?

"Brother Gao is talented, do you have any evidence?"

"No."

"Then you are talking nonsense." Lin Jing was speechless and said: "If a City Lord wants to raise Gu with beasts, with the foundation of the Tang family in Snow Moon City, do they need to steal rabbits from the Beast Taming Sect?"

"Uh... Brother Lin's words also make sense." This genius from the Demon-Elimination Division fell into deep thought again.

"Brother Lin, do you think it is possible..." He suddenly looked at Lin Jing vigilantly and took a step back.

"Are you trying to say that my Beast Taming Sect has always been known as the Demon Sect, and you suspect that someone inside my Beast Taming Sect is colluding with the demonic sect, first damaging their own interests to get rid of suspicion, and then shouting 'thief' while being a thief?"

Gao Sheng was stunned: "How did you know!"

"Brother Gao, you should go home and inherit the immortal industry!" ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
