Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

Chapter 143: Every Move is Fatal

At this time, many disciples from Duanyun Peak had gathered here, talking among themselves and looking panicked. In the middle of the crowd, there was a man lying, and it was Zhao Hu.

Li Xueruo walked forward quickly and saw Zhao Hu's eyes wide open, with a dagger stuck in his chest and blood staining his clothes. She suppressed her grief and nausea and carefully checked Zhao Hu's body. She found that except for the fatal knife in his chest, there were no other wounds on his body.

"How is it? Did you figure out anything?" Zhang Hao walked to Li Xueruo and asked in a low voice.

Li Xueruo shook her head, frowning, and said, "Judging from the wounds, the murderer was ruthless and each move was fatal. He must be an expert."

"Master? Could it be someone from another sect who did it?" Zhang Hao pretended to be surprised but secretly sneered in his heart. With such acting skills, it would be a shame if he didn't win an Oscar for Best Actor.

"We can't rule out this possibility. The martial arts world has been unstable recently, and many sects are eyeing our Duanyun Peak." Li Xueruo said in a deep voice, with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

At this time, a tall man with a face full of flesh came over. He was the Wang Qiang mentioned by the disciple. He glanced at Zhao Hu on the ground, then at Zhang Hao, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Li, what is going on? Why would Junior Brother Zhao..."

"Brother Wang, I don't know either." Li Xueruo shook her head, then pointed at Zhang Hao and said, "This is Master Zhang. He is proficient in reasoning and solving cases. I asked him to help investigate this matter."

"Solving a case by reasoning?" Wang Qiang looked Zhang Hao up and down, his eyes full of disdain, and sneered, "Junior Sister Li, you won't believe what this pretty boy said, will you? It's obvious that he has no ability, maybe he's a spy sent by another sect!"

"Wang Qiang! What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Xueruo suddenly became angry, and flames of anger spewed out of her beautiful eyes.

"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not!" Wang Qiang fought back without showing any weakness, "Since this pretty boy came, strange things have happened one after another at Duanyun Peak. First, Junior Brother Zhao was beaten up for no apparent reason, and now he has died tragically here! I think he is the one behind all this!"

"You are slandering me!" Li Xueruo was so angry that she was shaking all over. She never expected that Wang Qiang would say such a thing.

"Whether I'm slandering you or not, you can find out by asking everyone!" Wang Qiang said, turning to look at the Duanyun Peak disciples around him and loudly asked, "What do you think, is Junior Brother Zhao's death related to this pretty boy?!"

Those disciples usually had a grudge against Zhang Hao, a strange man who suddenly appeared. When Wang Qiang instigated them, they were immediately outraged and pointed at Zhang Hao and loudly accused him.

"It's him! He must have killed Senior Brother Zhao!"

"Yes! Catch him! Avenge Brother Zhao!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

For a moment, shouts of killing shook the sky, and a group of people surrounded Zhang Hao with murderous intent in their eyes.

Zhang Hao looked at the group of people in front of him who were blinded by anger, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the fun had just begun...

Zhang Hao looked at the group of people who were blinded by anger and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. They were a bunch of idiots who didn't even know they were being used as guns. He slowly glanced at the crowd, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a nonchalant tone: "What? You want to fight? Don't you think you are strong enough? You think you can touch me with your ugly heads?"

"You...you are looking for death!" Wang Qiang was completely enraged by Zhang Hao's contemptuous attitude. He roared and swung his fist towards Zhang Hao's face.

Zhang Hao had expected that he would attack, so he slightly turned his body and easily dodged Wang Qiang's attack. Wang Qiang's punch missed, and he became even more angry. He roared and punched again, but no matter how he attacked, he was easily resolved by Zhang Hao.

The disciples who were watching originally thought that Zhang Hao was just a weak pretty boy, but now they saw with their own eyes how easily he resolved Wang Qiang's attack, and they were all stunned. This kid was actually a martial artist?

Li Xueruo looked at the scene in front of her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. She didn't expect Zhang Hao to have such skills. However, she quickly calmed down and spoke out to stop the farce: "Stop it! Wang Qiang, do you still take my junior sister seriously? In front of me, you dare to attack my friend?"

Wang Qiang paused when he heard this, glared at Zhang Hao angrily, and reluctantly stepped aside. He knew that Li Xueruo had a high status in Duanyun Peak, and even her master doted on her, so he really couldn't help but give her face.

"Mr. Zhang, are you okay?" Li Xueruo asked with concern.

Zhang Hao patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves, with a cynical smile on his face: "What can happen to me? Some people are stupid and are being used as a gun without knowing it."

"What did you say?!" Wang Qiang was immediately furious when he heard this. Just as he was about to explode, he was stopped by Li Xueruo's sharp look.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?" Li Xueruo asked, suppressing the anger in her heart.

Zhang Hao glanced at her, then glanced at the disciples around him who had different expressions, and slowly said, "There is indeed another hidden story behind Zhao Hu's death. Moreover, I suspect that the murderer is hiding in our Duanyun Peak!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar.

"what?!"

"How can this be?!"

"Who is it? Who is the murderer?!"

……

Everyone was talking about it, and their eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance when they looked at each other.

"Mr. Zhang, please don't talk nonsense! You said that the murderer is hiding in our Duanyun Peak, do you have any evidence?" Wang Qiang was the first to jump out and question. In his opinion, Zhang Hao's words were complete nonsense, and his purpose was to disrupt Duanyun Peak so as to take the opportunity to escape.

Zhang Hao ignored Wang Qiang's questioning and walked to Zhao Hu's body, squatted down, and carefully examined him. He first checked Zhao Hu's wound, then looked through his clothes, and finally, his eyes fell on Zhao Hu's clenched right hand.

"Miss Li, please help me pry Brother Zhao's hands apart." Zhang Hao said without raising his head.

Although Li Xueruo didn't know what Zhang Hao was going to do, she still did as he said. When Zhao Hu's hand was pried open, a small, blood-stained metal fragment suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"What's this?"

"It looks like a... token?"

"There seems to be some words on it..."

Everyone stretched their necks, trying to see the words on the fragment clearly. However, the fragment was too small and covered in blood, so they couldn't see what was written on it.

"Mr. Zhang, could this piece of fragment be the evidence you mentioned?" Li Xueruo asked.

Zhang Hao stood up, clapped his hands, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, this is the evidence. Moreover, I also know who left this fragment..."

Zhang Hao's words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up waves. The disciples looked at each other, whispering to each other, and their eyes were full of suspicion. Wang Qiang's face turned red, and he pointed at Zhang Hao's nose and scolded: "Don't think you can take yourself seriously just because you have a few tricks! You said this fragment is evidence, then tell me, who left it?!"

Zhang Hao glanced at Wang Qiang with contempt, then slowly picked up the fragment from the ground and put it in his palm to show everyone. The fragment was very small, in the shape of an irregular triangle, stained with dark red blood, and a few fine lines could be vaguely discerned.

"Please look," Zhang Hao pointed at the patterns on the fragments and said, "the patterns on it are not decorations, but... a special kind of text."

The crowd erupted in exclamations, and the disciples whispered and discussed. Li Xueruo frowned slightly, walked to Zhang Hao, carefully examined the fragment, and asked, "What text? Why have I never seen it before?"

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and deliberately kept the secret: "This kind of text comes from a mysterious organization called 'Shadow Pavilion'. And this fragment is their unique identity."

"Shadow Pavilion?!" Li Xueruo exclaimed, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief, "You mean, the murderer who killed Senior Brother Zhao is from Shadow Pavilion?!"

"No, I didn't say that," Zhang Hao shrugged. "I just said that this fragment belongs to the Shadow Pavilion. As for why it is in Senior Brother Zhao's hands, I don't know."

"You..." Wang Qiang wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Xueruo's eyes. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, you seem to know a lot about this Shadow Pavilion?"

Zhang Hao chuckled and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Miss Li, do you know why I was hunted down?"

Li Xueruo shook her head. She also wanted to know the answer to this question. Ever since Zhang Hao came to Duanyun Peak, he had been avoiding talking to her about this matter, saying only that he was being hunted by his enemies and did not want to implicate Duanyun Peak.

"Because..." Zhang Hao deliberately dragged out his voice, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally stopped at Li Xueruo's face, and said word by word, "I accidentally discovered a secret of the Shadow Pavilion, a secret that can subvert the entire martial arts world..."

Everyone held their breath and waited nervously for Zhang Hao's next words. Li Xueruo was even more anxious, as she felt that what Zhang Hao was going to say next might be closely related to her and the entire Duanyun Peak.

However, Zhang Hao suddenly shut up and stopped talking. He just gave Li Xueruo a meaningful look, turned around and walked towards his room, leaving only a few words echoing in the air: "It's getting late, Miss Li, go to bed early."
