"Is what he said true?"

Wu Wencai was half-skeptical about Duan Gujin's words, but it seemed that there was no other explanation for why his son had been killed, and moreover, slain in the dead of night.

"Have you been lying to me?"

Wu Wencai asked.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Either way, this is all the information I can provide. If you truly want to find the murderer, you should look for the tomb robber who recently entered the Blood Killing Sect! While I was reading a classic recently, I discovered that long ago there was indeed a Heavenly Master Xun Yuan here who helped enhance the Blood Evil Qi here. I believe you know some of this!"

Duan Gujin spoke coldly.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Wu Wencai immediately had a speculation in his mind, believing that Duan Gujin definitely knew some of the truth.

Otherwise, why would he be so certain that it was a tomb robber who entered here who killed his beloved son?

He pondered the hypothesis suggested by Duan Gujin and felt that it was very reasonable, as it seemed foolproof.

"So how much of the truth do you know?"

Wu Wencai asked again.

Duan Gujin exhaled and said, "I've only heard about it. I don't have enough evidence. I heard that a tomb robber who ventured here killed someone who witnessed him robbing a tomb!"

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Wu Wencai's eyes brightened immediately, judging that the person killed by the tomb robber must be his beloved son.

Then, what he needed to do next was to find the tomb robbers who had recently entered the Blood Killing Sect.

However, for the moment, he couldn't think of where to start looking for the tomb robbers.

"So what do you suggest I do to find the tomb robber who killed my son?"

Wu Wencai asked.

Listening to Wu Wencai's inquiry, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief inside, feeling assured that the other party probably believed his words.

"You should go to the nearby auctions and ask around. Those tomb robbers, once they find treasure in the ancient tombs, tend to sell those treasures at auctions to get money. Don't think I would know their true faces; when my master interacted with them, they were always masked. They certainly don't want their real faces recognized, I only ever made transactions with them while they were masked!"

Duan Gujin stated indifferently.

Initially, Wu Wencai was skeptical upon hearing Duan Gujin's words.

Now, after careful consideration, he felt that Duan Gujin's words had no discrepancies and did not seem like a lie.

"Maybe I really should look for those tomb robbers after all! If I can't find them, then I'll return to him and inquire further!"

Wu Wencai's eyes flickered as he finally decided to tentatively believe Duan Gujin's words.

"Duan Gujin, I'm telling you now, though I have not found enough evidence to relate you to my son's death, your connection to Zhu Xiao, Luoluo, and others is undeniable, you can't deny that, can you?"

Wu Wencai spoke earnestly.

"It was me, I admit it, but I didn't directly kill Zhu Xiao and Luoluo; they were killed by a master behind me! Well, their deaths do involve me!"

Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing he had successfully shifted Wu Wencai's suspicions onto the tomb robbers.

"I've got to get through this first!"

He was very clear in his mind that with Wu Wencai's character, he would definitely do everything possible to uncover the truth.

Sooner or later, Wu Wencai would find out that it was he who had killed his son.

Duan Gujin could only hope that one day when he had the power to confront Wu Wencai, he would know the truth.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he was no match for his opponent.

Buying time was the best he could do for now.

Duan Gujin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hall Master, may I take them back? They are innocent!"

Wu Wencai's eyes suddenly brightened fiercely: "Duan Gujin, I ask you, what methods did you use to control this female assassin? Her cultivation is not low, and she is much stronger than you! I really cannot understand how you managed to control her!"

Duan Gujin sneered coldly, "Hall Master, I respect you by sharing some things I prefer not to divulge. If you think you can extract my sect's secrets from me, I advise you to save your efforts. I was able to control the female assassin because I have treasures from my sect, along with elixir pills specially formulated by my sect. That's all I can tell you. If you wish to know more about my sect, I'm afraid I must decline!"

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Wu Wencai's expression darkened, and his mind raced.

Duan Gujin had told him some things about his sect before, making it clear to Wu Wencai that there was a very powerful sect behind Duan Gujin.

The strength and capabilities of that sect were surely far beyond his expectations. Wu Wencai had also heard some stories about Duan Gujin, knowing that he was only nineteen years old yet already a Fifth-level Alchemist and an Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect.

In some respects, Duan Gujin could be considered a notable figure of the Blood Killing Sect.

If he suddenly disappeared, the Blood Killing Sect and his mysterious sect would do everything possible to uncover the truth.

"I'd better not needlessly offend Duan Gujin. If he really wanted to kill my son, with his methods, he could easily use someone else's hand to do it! Yes, he could make the person he controls do it, without needing to act personally! It seems, finding out who really killed my son is going to be really difficult!"

Wu Wencai took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

After a while, he decided to give Duan Gujin face and let him take Yan Chunxue and the female assassin away.

"You may take them! I hope you will not speak of tonight's events to avoid any leaks. I do not want the murderer who killed my son to know that I am still searching for him!"

Wu Wencai said with a serious face.

"Hall Master, rest assured, I will not speak of this. I understand your grief about your son's death, and I hope you can find the murderer soon!"

Duan Gujin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the other party had decided to let Yan Chunxue and the female assassin go, it indicated that Wu Wencai believed his words.

Duan Gujin knew that he was no match for Wu Wencai right now; all he could do was to delay as much as possible.

"Please, Hall Master, release the seals from their bodies!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Alright!"

Wu Wencai waved his right hand, and after a moment, the seals on Yan Chunxue and the female assassin were lifted.

"You may take them away!"

After Wu Wencai finished speaking, his body flashed, transforming into a streak of light, swiftly flying towards the void ahead.

Soon, he disappeared into the distance.

Seeing that Wu Wencai had truly left, Duan Gujin's heart, which had been fluttering, finally settled down.

He had previously planned to sacrifice Yan Chunxue and the female assassin if absolutely necessary.

Now that they were unharmed, he was naturally very pleased.

He was very cautious and did not immediately go forward to check their physical condition.
