97 Pointing in His Direction (1/2)

Elder Baili didn't seem to care at all. Anyway, he had already seen how that Yang Wu Huang had behaved the other day so his opinion of him wasn't very high.

Elder Xing had more reason to wonder about this and couldn't help but raise his brows. ”Why would you say so?”

Mei Chao Bing was already very happy that he was able to explain himself instead of being shut down right away. This meant that Elder Xing did indeed trust him quite a bit. With Yang Wu Huang's cultivation base and the fact that his Master was also a distinguished Elder of their sect, the Teng Yong Sect definitely wouldn't easily suspect him.

Most other Elders probably would've shut down his words immediately. He didn't know what made Elder Xing react differently. Maybe it was because he was a very fair person that would want to look at the matter from all sides before making a decision or maybe he indeed did have some trust in him.

Anyway, it was good if he was able to say what he thought. That way, the Elders might be able to find out who the perpetrator was. Then, the ones who had died might be able to rest in peace. By now, it wasn't too late yet.

”Well, if this was indeed one of the disciples, then there would be a few requirements for them to be able to pull this off. For one, they would need to be able to find the array. The lower the cultivation base, the lower the chance of doing so. After me, Yang Wu Huang should be the person with the second-highest cultivation base so, in that regard, he would be the next likely suspect.

”Other than that, another matter would be the feasibility of going to the array and sabotaging it before returning to where they came from. The one that was used was in the area our group was supposed to search. Thus the disciples would need to rush through their area, into ours and then back again. This is also something that will be easier with a higher cultivation base. After all the speed they can fly at without tiring themselves out and risking that they wouldn't be able to flee later on if the demonic practitioners appear will be higher the higher their level is. Once again, Yang Wu Huang would be the most likely suspect after me in that regard.

”Furthermore, the energy that is needed to fly over would be less if the person didn't have a wide way to fly to get to the array. Thus anyone from the groups on either side of our area would be more likely than disciples from the groups that were further away. Yang Wu Huang's group was next to ours. This would also point in his direction if we assume that it was indeed one of our disciples.”

Elder Xing nodded. Each point Mei Chao Bing had mentioned was indeed true without trying to mask anything or falsify facts. Most of it concerned the cultivation base so, naturally, Yang Wu Huang would be implicated but, well, that was indeed the most important aspect of this matter. ”Anything else?”

Mei Chao Bing furrowed his brows. ”Nothing tangible. There is one thing that is more of a hope actually.”

This time, both Elders raised their brows.
