In desperation, Old Man Han brought Lu Fan into the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu. Inside the main hall of the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, a coffin was placed, containing a young maiden, with many elders beside it.
"You brat, you actually dare to come to my Eighteen Sects of Kyushu!"
Old Man Chen said coldly, "Have you found the murderer? Or have you come to die?"
"Grandpa Chen, rest assured, I will definitely not let the murderer get away with it!" Lu Fan said, "I came here today mainly to see where Xian'er was injured!"
The elders present exchanged glances, their brows furrowing slightly. Lu Fan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning: "You want to open the coffin for examination?"
"Only in this way can we find clues!" Lu Fan said directly.
"How can that be? The coffin has been sealed, how can it be opened!" Sister Zhao said quickly, "Don't act rashly, lest you incur the wrath of the masses."
The people of the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu also looked at Lu Fan, with cold light surging in their eyes. Now that Chen Xian'er was in the coffin, according to the rules of the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, how could it be easily opened? Wouldn't that be blasphemy?
"If you want to find the real murderer, you must open the coffin!"
Lu Fan said earnestly, "Otherwise, how can we find the real murderer? Do you really want to see Xian'er die in vain like this!"
"You keep saying you're looking for the murderer, but isn't the murderer really you?" Old Man Zhao said coldly.
"I, Lu Fan, swear to the heavens, if I am the murderer, I will die a terrible death!"
Lu Fan raised his hand and said, "You should know that once a cultivator swears, they will be bound by the power of heaven and earth. If it were really me, how would I dare to swear!"
The crowd was puzzled, but they understood Lu Fan's words very well. As Lu Fan said, cultivators would not easily swear unless they were truly innocent.
"Since this kid has said so, it's likely that the murderer is indeed not him!"
Old Man Han said, "Why don't we do as he says and let him take a look!"
Old Man Chen nodded slightly, not obstructing. If it wasn't Lu Fan's doing, he had to find the real murderer to avenge his granddaughter.
Not long after, the coffin was opened. Chen Xian'er lay in the coffin, appearing extremely peaceful, dressed in a snow-white long skirt.
Lu Fan searched around but found no wounds, frowning, "How did Xian'er die so tragically? Why are there no wounds at all?"
"Killed by internal force!"
Sister Zhao said, "There's a palm print on her back!"
Lu Fan turned her over and saw that there was indeed a bright red palm print on Chen Xian'er's back, but there were no scars on the surface, as if she had not suffered any damage.
"How can one kill a Saint silently without any time to react?"
Lu Fan frowned, "This must be an instant kill! Is there really such a powerful person in this world?"
The people present also observed, and indeed found the clue. If this matter was really Lu Fan's doing, Lu Fan would never have been able to do it.
"An ordinary Saint could not have achieved this!" Old Man Han said, "It is likely only a Saint King level expert could achieve an instant kill! But Saint Kings are few and far between, why would they attack Xian'er."
"That's right. Those who can reach the Saint King realm are the sect leaders of the major super sects, or the Holy Lords of the major holy lands. Such important figures would not deign to sneak attack, nor would they be so vicious!" Old Man Zhao said.
The others present fell into thought, their hearts filled with doubt. After all, this matter involved too much, causing them to ponder deeply.
"Regardless, we can at least conclude now that this matter was not Lu Fan's doing."
Sister Zhao said, "It seems someone is targeting the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, otherwise, how could such a thing happen."
"To use the power of the Desolate Ancient Tao Family to wipe out the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu in one fell swoop!"
Xu Fei said coldly, "Indeed, they have wolfish ambitions!"
"What force can dispatch a Saint King to do such a despicable thing!"
Old Man Han's expression turned grim, and he was even more touched, as this matter was too strange and made him suspicious.
"Is it possible that it wasn't a Saint King?"
Lu Fan said, "After all, this matter is not as simple as it seems. If it were a Saint King, they would never have done such a thing."
"If not a Saint, how could such a precise sneak attack be achieved?" Sister Zhao shook her head and said, "To achieve this, it must be done silently, defeating him before Xian'er could even react. But in this world, only a Saint King can do this."
"Not necessarily!"
Ancestor Shen family shook his head, "Perhaps there is another cultivation technique that can achieve this!"
"What cultivation technique?"
The crowd was filled with doubt and surprise. If this were true, then there must be a solution to this matter.
"Sect Masters, you must have heard of the Gui Xi Da Fa (归西大法)!"
"Gui Xi Da Fa?"
Many old men stood up, their eyes moved. They were quite familiar with this name, but they also felt some apprehension.
"Gui Xi Da Fa is not an ordinary technique!"
Old Man Han said, "And not everyone can learn it. More importantly, this cultivation technique is only possessed by the Assassin Dynasty. Could it be that this matter is related to the Assassin Dynasty?"
"Assassin Dynasty?"
Xu Fei and Sister Zhao were startled, their hearts filled with fear. They knew very well what kind of existence the Assassin Dynasty was, and it was not something the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu could resist.
It is rumored that in the Eastern Region, there is an ancient sect known for killing people, but they do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Instead, they have established an Assassin Dynasty with countless assassins. Anyone on the Assassin Dynasty's leaderboard is a dead person.
Even the holy lands are wary of the Assassin Dynasty. They know very well that the Assassin Dynasty is full of assassins, and each assassin is no ordinary person. Moreover, once the Assassin Dynasty makes a move, they will surely take a life.
"If it was really the Assassin Dynasty, I will go to the Assassin Dynasty to seek justice!" Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan was somewhat angry. If it weren't for the Assassin Dynasty, he wouldn't have been suspected by everyone, nor would he have borne such a heavy burden.
"You have a big mouth, kid!"
Old Man Han narrowed his eyes, "Do you really think the Assassin Dynasty is a place you can enter and leave as you please? Even the experts of the holy lands dare not do anything to the Assassin Dynasty!"
"That's right!" Ancestor Shen family nodded, "Moreover, the one who dealt with us is not someone from the Assassin Dynasty. It's likely someone else bribed the Assassin Dynasty to cause this situation."
