Bai Ling'er did not die peacefully.

Wang Jixuan's first reaction upon seeing her corpse was...

This cave dwelling, which used to be quite comfortable, is no longer habitable.

Bai Ling'er's robe was hastily undone, and she was impaled through the chest by a longsword. Her body seemed to be straining, yet her facial expression was one of extreme ecstasy and satisfaction. Everywhere on her body there were horrible talisman marks.

Wang Jixuan frowned at the sight and casually waved his hand to cover Bai Ling'er's corpse with the scattered clothing beside her.

"What, what happened?"

Mao Mo's voice trembled.

Bai Ling'er died at the mountain gate he established, and in such a manner. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name.

Master Wang frowned and looked at Mao Mo.

Mao Mo quickly said, "Don't look at me, I did nothing! You know me, Brother, I never do anything risky!"

Wang Jixuan took half a step back, making Mao Mo even more anxious.

Master Wang asked, "About half an hour ago, where were you, Brother?"

"In the Capital killing time, with a dozen brothel girls who can testify!"

Fat Immortal Mao Mo said with great confidence.

Wang Jixuan indeed began to dispel some suspicion towards Mao Mo.

He had no relation to Bai Ling'er and wasn't interested in seeking justice for her, but the incident happened at his cave dwelling, making it somewhat related to him.

Looking at Bai Ling'er's state...

It's clear that someone reversed the energy harvesting on her.

Such an expert must have a cultivation far exceeding Bai Ling'er's and could have obtained all her cultivation, making them possibly even stronger now.

Who could it be?

What is their motive?

Is it possible they want to kill two birds with one stone and frame him? But what grudge does he have with the Six Immortals? Is the murderer one of the other five or perhaps some Loose Immortal sneaked into this realm unnoticed by him?

Wang Jixuan felt a chill down his spine.

He seemed to be embroiled in something truly significant again.

Four beams of light flew from the north and south. The other four Loose Immortals, having received Mao Mo's message, hurriedly arrived with their tunneling speed maximized, almost simultaneously reaching the location.

Wang Jixuan slightly raised his eyebrows, stepped back, and hid in the corner, observing the expressions and demeanor of the five Loose Immortals closely.

"What happened!"

This was the spirited Gun Immortal Qu Man from the Ten Thousand Bone Cave.

Upon seeing Bai Ling'er's corpse, her expression froze slightly before displaying undisguised annoyance, saying:

"She died so miserably; it's retribution well deserved."

The second to arrive was the Limp Old Taoist, who had remained hidden all this time.

"Bai Ling'er died? Mao Mo? Why did she die?"

The Limp Old Taoist stared at Mao Mo and said solemnly:

"We six came to the Lower Realm to spread teachings, each representing the Tao inheritance behind us. Even if Bai Ling'er had numerous faults, she didn't deserve to be killed like this, especially by such means.

"Energy harvesting?

"Their Hundred Joy Sect is adept at energy harvesting, and Bai Ling'er being harmed by this method is like returning the method upon its doer; how deep is this hatred."

Mao Mo hurriedly explained, "It wasn't me, it's really nothing to do with me! Ugh! I found her tone unpleasant and used past matters to threaten me, feeling unhappy, so I went to the Capital to enjoy the company of mortals! Who would know, who knows! Qin Zheng, Brother! You must speak a good word for me!"

Master Wang revealed himself from the corner and said solemnly, "Brother Mao doesn't seem to have such skills either."

"Hmm," the Limp Old Taoist nodded and said no more.

This Limp Old Taoist is a Loose Immortal from the Banshan Sect, known as the Dou Qian Taoist.

The remaining Loose Immortals from Jueqing Valley, Kou Chongtian, and Yellow Flower Temple, Liu Kang, arrived one after another.

Both appeared middle-aged, the former liked a scholar's attire, while Liu Kang preferred wearing a Daoist robe.

The one with the largest reaction was Liu Kang.

"Ling'er!"

Yellow Flower Temple's temple master Liu Kang suddenly kneeled with trembling legs, shouting hoarsely, with his Primordial Spirit almost jumping out of his gaping mouth.

Wang Jixuan slightly frowned.

This guy seems highly suspicious.

The urgent matter now is to find the real murderer; otherwise, Wang Jixuan's primary base of operation is also shrouded in danger.

There's also a chance of backfiring on him.

Around Bai Ling'er, the five of them stood or sat at five positions.

Liu Kang took out a piece of female clothing and draped it over Bai Ling'er, holding her body fervently.

The Limp Old Taoist said in a low voice, "The urgent matter is to report back to the Immortal Realm first."

"No!"

Mao Mo said resolutely:

"This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated first, find the real murderer, and then report to the Immortal Realm!

"She died here, the women of the Hundred Joy Sect are fierce; they'll roast and eat me!"

Qu Man responded, "If your heart is upright, why fear shadows bending, if it weren't you, fellow, why fear them."

"Everyone."

Wang Jixuan cupped his hands:

"Among us, I have the lowest cultivation, so how about I start the questioning?"

Everyone looked over simultaneously.

Liu Kang, with a tight frown, said, "It was you who caused Ling'er's death! She came here looking for you!"

"First, I don't have the ability to kill her in such a manner; second, I have ample alibi, when Brother Mao found me, I was in the Southern Border of this realm accompanying my junior sister."

Wang Jixuan said calmly:

"I must admit, this was my residence.

"I was also driven away by Senior Bai Ling'er; she coveted my Mahayana Realm cultivation.

"The situation when I left, not only Brother Mao saw it, but some junior disciples in the sect also witnessed it; please investigate freely."

The Limp Old Taoist nodded and asked, "Would you allow a Primordial Spirit Emergence for us to inspect?"

"How about we all do a Primordial Spirit Emergence together?"

Wang Jixuan's eyes slightly flickered:

"If the real murderer is among us and has absorbed Senior Bai Ling'er's cultivation, their Primordial Spirit cannot remain stable at this moment."
