Chapter 167 Conspiracy and a Bigger Conspiracy Behind the Scenes

Chu Fan stepped forward.

Passing by a man holding a baby.

The baby in the man's arms had wrinkles all over his face, and his soft skin was pink under the firelight.

Bean-sized tears flowed from the child's eyes and fell into the man's arms one by one.

"Wow!"

"Wow!!"

The crying sounded so harsh near the quiet ancestral temple.

Chu Fan frowned, turned his head to look at the baby in the man's arms, and stared at the baby with a cold look.

It seemed that a cold breath was attacking the baby.

Suddenly.

The baby in the man's arms stopped crying.

Fear filled his eyes, staring at the huge monster in front of him.

Then, the baby actually closed his eyes directly, his two little hands were pulled on his chest, his little mouth was tightly closed, and his body was still shaking.

Is this something a baby can do?

Maybe it's human instinct.

Chu Fan turned his head and stopped looking at the baby.

The Heavenly Justice had already started for a while, but Chu Fan did not stay within the range of the tree in the tribe, because he needed to find the elder of the Black Water Tribe to ask some questions.

Some things about the extermination of their mountain tribe.

But! ?

When he arrived, the timing seemed a little wrong, and the elder was already dead.

Falling in a pool of blood, like a mortal.

Chu Fan squatted down, reached out to turn over the elder's body, and turned the elder over.

Finally, he saw the elder's fatal wound.

Right at the neck.

There was a half-finger-long cut, and the blood flowed from the cut at the neck.

At this moment, it had dried up, and the dark red blood scab solidified at the wound. Obviously, the blood had flowed before solidification.

Seeing such a death, Chu Fan's eyes flickered.

This death was too strange.

Or too ordinary.

As a soul-expanding warrior, would he die just because of a wound at the neck?

Chu Fan had his doubts.

In general, fighting between Soul-Turning warriors would result in at least broken limbs, and even being torn to pieces was not a big deal.

To die from a wound in the neck and bleeding, this way of dying was too aggrieved and too simple.

"Dang!"

When Chu Fan turned over the corpse, he suddenly heard a slight metallic sound.

He looked around and saw a dagger next to the right hand of the Great Elder. It was not very long, about the length of a palm.

Chu Fan picked up the dagger and observed it carefully.

There was a bloodstain on the dagger, about half a finger long.

It was exactly the same length as the wound on the neck of the Great Elder.

Could it be that this dagger cut the neck of the Great Elder?

Moreover, on the handle of the dagger, Chu Fan saw the mark of a finger that was not stained with blood.

"Huh?"

Chu Fan held the right hand of the Great Elder and the dagger together, and they just matched.

Strange, really strange? ?

All the scenes and clues point to one inference.

That is, the elder took a dagger, cut his neck, and then bled to death.

This? ?

Chu Fan frowned even more, his eyes full of confusion.

Suicide?

Why did the elder of the Black Water Tribe commit suicide? ?

Could it be that he knew that he would come for revenge?

So he committed suicide in advance?

But why did he know that he would come for revenge? ?

Chu Fan did not believe that the elder had this ability. If he really had this ability, then Chu Fan would not have any revenge now.

He should not be the opponent of the Black Water Tribe at all.

There should be no assumption that the other party knew his whereabouts.

Then why did the elder commit suicide? ?

Was it because he saw that the Black Water Tribe was going to be destroyed and could not be saved at all, so he committed suicide out of shame?

This speculation was even more difficult for Chu Fan to believe.

Strange, inexplicably strange.

And according to the scene, the elder died at the door of the ancestral temple.

Even if he really wanted to commit suicide, why did he choose to do it at the door?

All of this is questionable.

Chu Fan shook his head and stood up. No matter what, he would not believe that the elder committed suicide.

In his heart, there was a vague guess.

That guess was related to a woman he met when he first left the cliff and entered the Jiujiao Great Forest.

The woman was called Wang Mei.

For some reason, Chu Fan immediately thought of Wang Mei, or Wang Mei's strange ability to control human bodies and corpses.

"Huh!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, even though he had long known that the extermination of the Gaoshan tribe was not that simple.

Now that he really came into contact with it, it was another different feeling.

Even, his back felt a little cold.

Because seeing the inexplicable death of the elder added a conspiracy atmosphere.

The elder was dead, and he had to find another way to find out what he wanted to know.

"Hoo, hoo!"

Chu Fan rushed into the ancestral temple without any hesitation and searched it to see if he could find any clues.

However, he was disappointed in the end.

There was nothing in the ancestral temple. It was extremely clean, so clean that it didn't look like anyone lived there.

"Where should I go to find clues now?"

Chu Fan came to the door and murmured.

"Boom!"

Chu Fan's figure flashed, and he flew directly into the air and headed high into the sky.

The clue was broken.

Then the Black Water Tribe would perish.

Chu Fan thought so.

Just a moment after Chu Fan disappeared in the air.

A strange sound suddenly came from the dark corner of the ancestral temple, and then a man in a black robe walked out of the ancestral temple.

The man in black robe looked up at the air where Chu Fan disappeared.

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The other party could fly into the air without using the alien beast soul. The other party's strength was really beyond his imagination.

Moreover, the other party had just carefully observed the body of the great elder, which made the black-robed man somewhat uneasy.

He thought that disguising the death of the great elder as suicide was perfect, and the other party would not be able to see any abnormality.

"We must go back and report to the sect master. The enemy provoked by the Black Water Tribe is a bit terrifying. We must be a little careful."

The black-robed man said coldly.

There was also a deep yin in his eyes.

The black-robed man did not recognize Chu Fan as the beastmaster of the year, and did not even think in that direction.

The remnant of a small mountain tribe had long been killed in the bounty of the Kunshan Tribe. How could it still have the ability to destroy the Black Water Tribe? ?

At first, he noticed the abnormality in the sky before the great elder and found that there was a strong enemy attacking.

Originally, he wanted to let the great elder meet the other party to test the other party's strength and origin.

But then he changed his mind and thought that his mission in the Black Water Tribe had been completed, and the corpse pits collected by the Black Water Tribe had all been collected in place.

There was no need for him to stay here.

In this case, he might as well abandon the Black Water Tribe.

It just so happened that there were enemies who came to seek revenge, and he would enjoy the success.

There was no need to do it himself to silence the witnesses later. This matter was like killing two birds with one stone.

But why did he feel a little uneasy in his heart? ?

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a cry came.

It was the baby in the arms of the man at the door.

Because of Chu Fan's departure, the poor child finally cried out.

"Noisy!"

The black-robed man frowned, waved his hand, and a beam of light shot straight at the baby.

"Bang!!!"

With a loud bang, the man and the baby in his arms turned into blood and fell to the ground.

And the baby's cry never sounded again.
