Spirit Eye!

Strange information flooded into his mind, and a trace of realization quickly flashed in Li Rui's eyes.

"Can actually see spiritual substances!"

There are countless strange eyes in the world; some are born with Yin-Yang eyes, able to see souls wandering in the world, some are born with double pupils, able to see through all laws of heaven and earth, all with infinite wonderful uses, and the function of the Spirit Eye is to be able to see spiritual substances.

As everyone knows.

The reason spiritual herbs, spiritual minerals, and spiritual soil are miraculous is precisely because of the spiritual substances contained within them.

Being able to see spiritual substances is equivalent to possessing a pair of divine eyes for appraising treasures.

Li Rui was overjoyed.

Before he had time to think more.

Suddenly!

A burst of rumbling footsteps sounded not far from the mountain forest, accompanied by the sound of trees collapsing.

"It's that demonic beast."

Li Rui did not want to get too entangled with that demonic beast, otherwise, once he couldn't escape, it might expose the fact that he killed Zhao Wei.

But just as he turned to leave—

His peripheral vision happened to catch Zhao Wei's corpse.

On the chest, a faint golden light was particularly eye-catching in the rainy night.

"Spiritual substance?!"

Li Rui raised an eyebrow; he didn't expect his Spirit Eye to be used so quickly.

He quickly squatted down.

He grabbed at Zhao Wei's chest, seemingly grabbing a hard object.

He didn't have time to look and stuffed it into his bosom.

He drilled into the forest and disappeared.

The horizon turned a pale, fish-belly white.

The heavy rain stopped.

The Tiandi Alliance disciples gathered together, all looking at the two huge demonic beast corpses lying on the ground.

"Junior Sister Jiang, thanks."

Han Qin's clothes were already soaked, looking somewhat disheveled, and his body was even scratched with several bloody wounds by the demonic beast.

By comparison.

Jiang Yan was much more composed:

"If it weren't for Senior Brother Han and Senior Brother Zhu fighting the enemy together, it would have been difficult for me to display the Divine Soldier Talisman."

With the three of them working together, they finally used the power of the Divine Soldier Talisman to kill the two black bear demonic beasts.

Zhu Yue's face was also full of smiles.

He was glad for his decision last night.

He did not timidly leave, but fought for his life at the critical moment to drag down the demonic beast, so Jiang Yan had the opportunity to display the Divine Soldier Talisman.

Otherwise, with the strength of the three of them, wanting to kill these two demonic beasts would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

And he could clearly feel that Jiang Yan's attitude toward him was much better than before.

"By the way, where is Deputy Helmsman Zhao?"

Zhu Yue looked around, only to find that Zhao Wei had not appeared since he was separated from them last night.

Han Qin also furrowed his brows slightly.

A bad feeling rose in his heart.

So much time had passed; even if he couldn't kill the demonic beast, there should have been a result.

"It's just a demonic beast; Deputy Helmsman Zhao has a solid foundation and exquisite blade technique, so nothing should have happened."

He comforted.

But before his voice fell, he heard someone say with a sobbing voice, "Deputy Helmsman Zhao is dead."

"What?!"

The three people from the Huaqing Sect all showed expressions of shock.

But when they saw Zhao Wei's corpse carried before them by a few disciples, they were speechless for a moment.

Zhu Yue squatted down to check his breathing and felt his pulse.

He looked up at Han Qin and Jiang Yan:

"He is indeed dead."

Han Qin looked at Zhao Wei's corpse, staring at the blade wound on his neck for a long time, before slowly opening his mouth, "Deputy Helmsman Zhao might not have died at the hands of the demonic beast."

"Then who did it?"

Zhu Yue asked.

Zhao Wei's corpse was too horrible to look at, his whole body torn by the demonic beast, with not many pieces of good flesh left; the wound on his neck seemed insignificant by comparison.

Han Qin looked at Jiang Yan, "I think Junior Sister Jiang should know better."

Zhu Yue turned his head and looked suspiciously at Jiang Yan.

"It's Blade Qi."

Jiang Yan gave the conclusion decisively.

Zhu Yue gasped.

Blade Qi... this is a method that only experts above the Seventh-Rank can possess.

In other words, there was a Seventh-Rank martial artist lurking in the mountain forest last night!

Zhu Yue's legs suddenly went soft, a burst of lingering fear.

If that Seventh-Rank expert had chosen not Zhao Wei, but the three of them, there would be three more corpses on the ground now.

In a sense, Zhao Wei died for them.

Zhu Yue could think of it, and Han Qin and Jiang Yan could naturally think of it too.

At this time, a Tiandi Alliance disciple spoke timidly, "Three masters, last night our small team was closest to the location where Deputy Helmsman Zhao was harmed; it was raining at the time, and I couldn't hear clearly, but now that I think back, it seems someone shouted..."

"Shouted what?"

Zhu Yue asked with displeasure.

"Shouted... shouted 'The killer is the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao, Ghost-Faced Blade'."

Ghost-Faced Blade!

Han Qin gasped.

He recognized this name.

This Ghost-Faced Blade is a famous thug of this generation, who once even committed the evil act of exterminating a family, and had long ago announced to the outside world that he had joined the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao.

This matter had caused a great stir before.

"Actually came to Qinghe."

Han Qin swept a wary glance at the surroundings, "Let's leave this place of right and wrong first."

"Hmm."

Jiang Yan nodded.

Even though she had many life-saving means given to her by her father, Jiang Linxian, she couldn't guarantee foolproof safety.

The crowd went down the mountain.

Entered the city.

Only then did their hanging hearts finally fall.

Han Qin took a deep breath, "Junior Sister Jiang, the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao sent a Seventh-Rank martial artist to take action; continuing to investigate is too dangerous. We should ask the sect to upgrade the mission and send senior brothers and sisters."

Jiang Yan and Zhu Yue both nodded in agreement.

Even though they were only investigating, and Jiang Linxian was still in the city, it was still too dangerous.

That Elder Jiang is strong.

But after all, he is only one person, unable to be in two places at once, and cannot protect them all the time.

Zhu Yue looked at Zhao Wei's corpse:

"Then how should he be disposed of?"

Han Qin sighed long, "Let's go to the Tiandi Alliance and find Helmsman Dao; it's just that wanting the Tiandi Alliance to take action later will probably be very difficult."

"It can only be so."

Zhu Yue also lamented.

He didn't expect this mission to be so tortuous.

"Damn Ghost-Faced Blade!"

Hun Tian Yi Hall.

Li Residence.

Li Rui returned to his residence quietly; he first took off his wet clothes, then threw them all into the fire and burned them clean.

Then he changed into a new set of clothes.

The dry and warm feeling made his tense nerves finally relax.

This night was exciting enough.

But it was worth it.

With Zhao Wei dead, the people below scattered like birds and beasts, so naturally, no one would take action against him for the time being.

He left enough clues pointing to the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao.

And even if someone suspected it wasn't the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao's doing, they couldn't suspect him, this little old man who was only a Ninth-Rank.

"Finally able to live a comfortable life."

"I just want to read books peacefully."

Relaxing, Li Rui finally had the heart to take out the thing containing spiritual substances he got from Zhao Wei.

It was a golden ore the size of a fist.

Li Rui suddenly remembered the rumors he heard a few days ago; Zhao Wei seemed to have spent a lot of money to buy a piece of spiritual ore in a pawnshop in the city.

"Could it be this piece in my hand?"
