Chapter 377.1
Calculations (1)
When Yang Shaoling received the explanation from the Tiangang Sword Sect on this matter, his face was full of disbelief. However, Gu Sheng’s confession was attached to the letter, which made Yang Shaoling wonder who killed his own son.
After the long-lost reason returned to Yang Shaoling’s mind, Yang Shaoling quickly noticed something was wrong.
Although the forces of the Chongyang Sword Sect have withdrawn from Dongzhou for many years, the attention to Dongzhou has never been less. Especially for Yunjian Pavilion, Yang Shaoling paid special attention to it.
Including when Xiao Ruoyao married Lin Fengtian, when Xiao Ruoyao gave birth to a daughter, when Xiao Ruoyao accepted an anonymous apprentice…
For Yang Shaoling, Xiao Ruoyao is his obsession. Even after so many years, he never let go of this obsession. But because of this, he also learned about Feng Shao, the son-in-law whom Xiao Ruoyao especially admired and supported.
According to his understanding, Feng Shao is a very measured person and will not kill people easily, especially a cultivator who is also from a righteous sect. Killing Yang Hao would do Feng Shao no good at all, it would only make him have a blood vengeance.
As for Tang Fei, there is no need to say more.
The Chongyang Sword Sect has fought against Ziqing Sacred Land for so many years, and they have studied Tang Fei, the former holy son and the current Holy Lord in many aspects.
It is even more impossible for Tang Fei to be the kind of person who would kill casually.For him, holding Yang Hao as a hostage is far more useful than killing Yang Hao.
But if Chu Qing was the murderer, the situation seemed absurd at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, Yang Shaoling felt that this possibility was far more reasonable than Feng Shao and Tang Fei being the murderers.
Although Chu Qing did not have a long history, one can also see the characteristics of this person from the trajectory of Chu Qing’s fortune.
Insidious, treacherous, greedy, ambitious, and most importantly, this person takes kindness very lightly, but must avenge even the slightest hatred.
Based on the analysis of this person’s character alone, it seems that it is not impossible to assassinate his own sworn brothers.
Although Yang Shaoling had doubts in his heart, he was still not completely sure. After thinking carefully for a long time, he decided to send his disciples to investigate the matter in detail. Once the murderer is found out, no matter who this person is, he will bear his thunderous anger!
No matter who the opponent’s backer is!
Moreover, no one can even try to take advantage of him!

The same thing happened to the Xuanlei Sect.
From the very beginning, the Xuanlei Sect was divided into two factions because of the killing of Gong Shenglong.
The two factions have different opinions on how to deal with it.
One faction advocates fighting Feng Shao and Tang Fei directly, while the other faction believes that this opportunity should be used to shake hands with Tiangang Sword Sect and Ziqing Sacred Land. �
The former believes that the dignity of the sect is more important than anything else, while the latter believes that the current situation of the Xuanlei Sect should be considered first.
In fact, from a completely rational point of view, the latter suggestion is much more reasonable.
Facing the disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect equipped with weapons from Wuling City, the Xuanlei Sect had no power to fight back.
Not to mention the war with the Tiangang Sword Sect, even the gate of the mountain was closed, for fear that the Tiangang Sword Sect would charge up aggressively and give them a big blow.
Although everyone didn’t say anything, people on Xuanlei Mountain were panicked and precarious recently. An important reason for Gong Shenglong to organize the Tianlei City Alliance is to seek a way out of the current situation.
But right now, although Gong Shenglong is dead, it provided a new way to break the situation.
The Xuanlei Sect can completely push all the responsibilities to Gong Shenglong, and then confess to the Tiangang Sword faction and compensate Ziqing Sacred Land for some losses, then this matter will most likely pass like this.
Gong Shenglong is indeed qualified, but he is not irreplaceable.
As Tan Yu said, who hasn’t had a few holy sons who died yet? They haven’t seen any sacred land that collapsed because of the death of a holy son.
The influence of the holy son on the development of the sect is actually very limited, and the world will function the same without one.
This is especially true for super-first-class sects like the Xuanlei Sect.
But the Xuanlei Sect still has another problem, that is, the death of their own holy son. If their own sect not only failed to arrest the murderer, but instead confessed, this is not a small blow to the reputation of the Xuanlei Sect.
And once a sect loses its reputation, it is not so easy to get it back.
The two factions quarreled over this issue. As for the people who said they were sad because of Gong Shenglong’s death? Maybe there are a few, but certainly not many.
Just when the two factions were quarreling and Yingtian refused to give in to each other, an envoy from the Tiangang Sword Sect suddenly came.
The messenger just delivered a letter, then turned around and left.
The Xuanlei Sect couldn’t help but look at each other after seeing the contents of the letter.
If the truth is really as the Tiangang Sword Sect said, then the truth is too bloody!
