Chapter 1553 New Direction
Creaky
After pushing the door open, what appeared in front of Duan Qing was Zuo Zicong's sad and crying face.
Seeing Zuo Zicong's expression, Duan Qing had some idea in his mind.
It seems that Zuo Zicong should not have any breakthroughs here.
"How is it, Brother Qing, did you gain anything?"
Before Duan Qing could speak, Zuo Zicong asked first.
"Well, there are some."
Duan Qing did not hide anything and told Zuo Zicong his findings and speculations truthfully.
"Xilaixing?"
"Brother Qing, can you confirm that Taoist Wu disappeared in that place?" Zuo Zicong asked in surprise.
Duan Qing nodded: "Combining all the circumstances, this possibility is at least 50%."
"In your opinion, who could be the person who kidnapped Taoist Wu on Xilaixing?"
Zuo Zicong fell into deep thought after hearing this.
After a long while, Zuo Zicong shook his head helplessly: "Zuo thinks that the only people who could attack Wu Daoyou are the people of Tianji Sect."
"But Tianji Sect no longer exists. Logically speaking, Wu Daoyou could not have been captured by the people of Tianji Sect!"
Zuo Zicong's statement reminded Duan Qing.
"No!"
"Duan originally thought so!"
"Brother Zuo, think carefully, when did Brother Wu escape?"
Zuo Zicong thought for a while: "It was before we were sucked into the cave and fell asleep. Brother Qing should know the things after that."
Duan Qing nodded slightly: "Yes, according to the time calculation, when Brother Wu escaped, Tianji Sect still existed, and Tianjizi was not dead. At that time... Tianji Sect had time, manpower, and motivation to capture the escaped Brother Wu."
Zuo Zicong's eyes lit up: "Brother Qing means that Brother Wu may still be in the hands of Tianji Sect."
"That's right!"
"I'll send someone to investigate."
Zuo Zicong was quite excited and immediately contacted Zuo Shenzong and ordered people to investigate in the direction of Tianji Sect.
...
In a flash, several days passed.
The people sent by Zuo Zicong to investigate brought news, and the results were far beyond the expectations of Duan Qing and Zuo Zicong.
According to investigation, after Tianjizi's death, most of the people in Tianji Sect were captured by the Xianling League, and only a few people were able to escape in the chaos.
Among them, all the monks in Tianji Sect who were above the Dao Realm and recorded in the book did not escape.
There were no more than ten people who escaped below the Dao Realm.
Obviously, this result completely overturned the conclusion of Duan Qing and Zuo Zicong.
All the people above the Dao Realm in Tianji Sect had been captured by the Xianling League. If it was really the people of Tianji Star who captured Wu Ji, the Xianling League could not have no clues at all.
But the fact is that the Xianling League did not find any traces related to Wu Ji among the people captured in Tianji Sect.
As for those who escaped in the chaos, they did not have the strength to capture Wu Ji!
The clues of Tianji Sect are broken!
In the Shangyuan City Inn, Duan Qing and Zuo Zicong sat at the table.
"Brother Qing, do you have any other directions to investigate now?"
Duan Qing did not speak, but held the star map in his hand and remained silent.
In the past few days, he has thought of many possibilities, but all of them have been overturned. After thinking about it, he thinks that the most likely possibility is that the Tianji Sect committed the crime.
But now that the Tianji Sect's suspicion has been ruled out, before there are other clues, he really can't think of anyone else who might have captured Wu Ji.
Who on earth captured Wu Ji on Xilai Star?
Duan Qing's mind sank into the star map, studying the location of Xilai Star in the star map over and over again.
Suddenly... a star point about a hundred planets away from Xilai Star caught Duan Qing's attention.
Duan Qing was struck by lightning, and an incredible idea flashed through his mind in an instant.
After a moment, Duan Qing opened his eyes, silently put away the star map in his hand, and looked at Zuo Zicong across the table.
"Brother Zuo... Do you know where Sect Master Jing came from when he went to Tianji Star, and where he surrounded and killed Tianjizi with Senior Yu and others on Tianji Star?"
Zuo Zicong didn't even think about it, and responded casually: "I heard from old man Jing that Qi Tong was on Zuoshen Star at that time, and he set off as soon as he got the news...!"
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Zicong reacted all of a sudden, staring at Duan Qing with a surprised face: "Brother Qing... You don't suspect that old man Jing has captured Taoist Wu, do you?"
Duan Qing shook his head: "No... I just want to prove it!"
"Proof of what?" Zuo Zicong asked hurriedly.
Duan Qing didn't respond immediately, but carefully set up a soundproof formation in the room, and then asked Zuo Zicong back.
"Brother Zuo, where do you think Sect Master Wang of Tianding Sect... set off to Tianji Star at that time?"
Zuo Zicong was stunned, then came to his senses, vaguely understood what Duan Qing meant, and lowered his head in deep thought.
"When we were trapped at the beginning, Old Man Jing and Sect Master Wang should have been on the Immortal Spirit Star. However, we were trapped in the Eternal Azure Tree for several years. Although Old Man Jing had been looking for news about us, he was busy with the affairs of the sect and had to return to Zuoshen Star to take charge."
"The situation of Tianding Sect is similar to that of my Zuoshen Sect, so... when Sect Master Wang got the news about us, he should also be in Tianding Sect, that is, Yuwang Star, the birthplace of the human race!" At this point, Zuo Zicong's tone was obviously a little uncertain.
Duan Qing straightened his body and said solemnly: "According to Senior Wu, after getting the news, there were a total of five people who rushed to Tianji Star to besiege Tianjizi as soon as possible!"
"These five people are Senior Wu himself, Sword Immortal Yu Bai, Sect Master Jing of my sect, Sect Master Wang of Tianding Sect, and Monster King Xue Tianyun!"
When talking about Xue Tianyun, Duan Qing inexplicably recalled what Xue Tianyun had said to him. His tone was stagnant for a moment, and then he continued to explain.
"When these five people got the news, Senior Wu and Yu Bai should be on Xianling Star, Master Jing was on Zuoshen Star, and Demon King Xue Tianyun arrived a little later, so it is very likely that he set out from the Demon Saint Star in the Four Saints Star Region, which delayed him for some time!"
"As for Master Wang of Tianding Sect, let's assume that he was on Yuwang Star at that time."
"According to this assumption...!"
Duan Qing didn't say anything else, but Zuo Zicong obviously understood what Duan Qing meant, and immediately took out his star map to confirm it.
After carefully comparing the star map, Zuo Zicong's heart suddenly sank, and he sighed secretly.
Sure enough!
Among the five people including Wu Huji, Yuwang Star where Tianding Sect is located is the closest to Tianji Star, and there are hundreds of planets between it and Tianji Star!
The most important thing is that Yuwang Star is on the route from Tianji Star to Xianling Star, and the positions of the three can almost be connected in a straight line.
This means... if the five people at that time really set out from different planets and went to Tianji Star to besiege Tianjizi as Duan Qing assumed.
Then... if the five people received the news at a similar time, Wang Zilai of Tianding Sect... was undoubtedly the first to arrive at Tianji Star.
Moreover, considering that Wu Ji was very likely to choose to go to Xianling Star to report the news at that time, the possibility of him meeting Wang Zilai who came from Yuwang Star head-on is definitely not low!
Of course, there is also the most critical point.
Wang Zilai has the ability to capture Wu Ji on Xilai Star and clean up the battlefield!
