Chapter 109: Speculations about the identity of the real murderer

"Hmph! I really didn't expect this result. It's truly disappointing. We'll leave now. I hope we can meet you again in the finals. Otherwise, this contest would be too boring."

Zhan Doukuang snorted grimly before turning around without hesitation and marching away with his teammates from the Li Zhan Sect. His steps were hurried and his figure was agile, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"In that case, I won't bother you any further. I'll take my leave now."

Almost at the same time when Zhan Doukuang and others left, Liu Jiying also bowed slightly, clasped his fists, saluted everyone present, and then quickly left with his teammates from the Lingshu Sect.

With the departure of the two major sects, Lizhan Sect and Lingshu Sect, the originally bustling venue suddenly became much quieter. Looking around at this time, only the five people from Lantian Sect were still standing in the huge venue.

They stared silently at the retreating figures of the other three sects, their expressions complex and incomprehensible, and it was unknown what they were thinking...

"Mu Mu! I was so pissed off just now. Those useless guys didn't just wait to be eliminated by me, but actually ganged up on us! That's fine, but the most infuriating thing is that so-called large supply box. When I opened it, I found it was filled with junk and worthless stuff!"

Qingyan gasped for breath and complained angrily to Mu Mu.

Mu Mu frowned and responded thoughtfully.

"Qingyan, I think this is fishy. Let's put aside the man in the crowd who's been shouting orders, and just look at this large supply box. Logically speaking, how could it be filled with useless stuff? So, from the beginning of this battle until now, we've most likely been caught in a carefully designed trap. What's worse, it seems we can only follow their plan step by step, with no chance of escape. This shows that the enemy hiding in the dark and plotting against us this time is definitely no ordinary character..."

However, before Mu Mu could finish his words, Qing Yan interrupted him anxiously.

"Oh, Mumu, please stop talking! When you say that, I suddenly feel a pang of fear in my heart. Thinking back to what the Great Elder said to us before the game, I finally understand the Great Elder's intention at that time."

"If things really develop as Mu Mu imagined, then why doesn't the mastermind behind all this just show up and eliminate us in one fell swoop? After careful consideration, I speculate that there may be two possibilities. First, these people think too highly of themselves and simply disdain to attack us personally; second, they are not completely confident that they can successfully encircle and wipe out our four major sects, so they resort to such a sinister and cunning strategy."

At this time, Lao Wang spoke.

"In my opinion, the probability of the first scenario mentioned by Lazy Bug happening is extremely small. You know, in previous sect ranking competitions, even if we didn't take first place, we were always among the top three. How could such a powerful force suddenly emerge out of nowhere this time, capable of easily crushing our four major sects? Therefore, I firmly believe that the second possibility is more likely."

Li Goudan continued.

"I personally agree with Lazy Bug's second hypothesis. However, the biggest question lingering in my mind right now is: who is the true murderer hidden behind this thick fog? In my opinion, these guys must know that they are far inferior to us, so they dare not confront us head-on and only resort to these inferior tactics. Humph! If this Young Master Li ever has the honor of confronting them head-on, I will definitely make them taste my power and make them never forget this painful lesson!"

After hearing Li Goudan's words, everyone fell into deep thought, carefully checking the suspects in their minds.

Suddenly, Mu Mu seemed to realize something and raised his head to look at the others.

"Did you see anyone from the Past Wu Zong in the battle just now?"

After hearing Mu Mu's words, everyone was shocked at first, then they reacted and shook their heads at Mu Mu.

At this moment, Lao Wang suddenly spoke again.

"I don't know if you remember during the chaos just now, there was an idiot who rushed directly towards us and even said he was leading the charge."

"Now that you mention it, it reminds me that I laughed at him back then, calling him a clueless rookie. But what happened to him?"

"If I remember correctly, I didn't seem to hit him, but he still flew out. However, due to the urgent situation, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I was busy dealing with other people. But before he flew out, he said to me: You guys are really good teammates to me. First, you leaked the information about the game to me, and then you worked hard to implement my plan. Thank you, and see you later."

After hearing Lao Wang's words, the others quickly spoke up.

"It was him, it must have been him, but who is he?"

"It's someone who went to Wuzong."

Mu Mu was silent for a while before speaking again. Seeing the slightly puzzled looks from the others, she continued.

"If what he said is true, we haven't given anyone any clues about the competition, except for yesterday's conversation on the stairs. Just before we talked about this topic, a disciple who was going to Wu Zong passed by, and we don't know if he left afterwards."

After listening to Mu Mu's clear analysis, the other four people seemed to have been enlightened and instantly understood the truth behind the matter. However, at this moment, an indescribable complex emotion surged into their hearts like a tide. It felt like a tangled mess, making it difficult to tell whether it was more uncomfortable, or anger that prevailed, or both.

At the same time, just as the disciples of Lantian Sect were enthusiastically discussing the thrilling battle and the large supply box that had just ended, the other three sects, after evacuating from this place, also carried out in-depth reasoning and bold speculation about the whole incident.

However, since they did not have any contact with the Quwu Sect like the Lantian Sect, the accurate clues they obtained were extremely rare compared to those of the Lantian Sect.

After a long period of hard thinking and repeated deliberation, the three major sects finally agreed to identify the mastermind behind the incident as three other major sects besides themselves.

After all, in their judgment, the remaining small sects simply do not have the courage and determination to carefully plan such a conspiracy, let alone have the strength to compete with them.
