Lin Fan and Lin Kongxian had been roaming the Martial World for many years, their vision sharp. As soon as they saw Lin Tianba's corpse, they imdiately noticed sothing unusual!
Lin Fan imdiately asked the disciple beside him, "Who found him?"
"Brother Fan, it was !" A disciple hurriedly stepped forward and said to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at the disciple and asked, "When you found him, was there anything unusual around?"
"There was nothing unusual, only Lin Tianba's body lying here!" the disciple truthfully replied.
Lin Fan nodded, his gaze quickly surveying the surroundings. Because it was at the foot of the back mountain, there were many large rocks around, as well as so not-so-tall peaks. The terrain was very complex, perfect for hiding people!
Then Lin Fan imdiately walked to Lin Tianba's body, crouched down to look at the bloodstains on Lin Tianba's heart and throat, and gently wiped them with his hand. Fresh blood imdiately stained Lin Fan's fingers!
"The blood hasn't dried, nor has it coagulated. Clearly, Lin Tianba was killed not long ago, at most an hour!" Lin Fan imdiately said.
Hearing this, those around them were slightly shocked!
Lin Tianba's strength was well known. Even if Lin Tianba was seriously injured, he couldn't be underestimated. Besides Lin Fan and a few senior uncles like Lin Kongxian, no one else was his match!
Moreover, judging by the wounds on Lin Tianba's body, the assailant was incredibly swift and clean, leaving no trace of hesitation. This demonstrated that the murderer was definitely not simple!
Besides the top leaders and a few top disciples, others in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect did not have this kind of strength!
Then who could it be?
Lin Fan was full of questions!
Then suddenly sothing occurred to Lin Fan, and he hurriedly asked, "Has anyone found Lin Long?"
"No!" The surrounding disciples imdiately shook their heads.
Lin Fan frowned slightly, and his gaze once again fixed on Lin Tianba's body. Soon, Lin Fan's pupils suddenly contracted tightly as he discovered that besides a dagger in Lin Tianba's hand, another dagger had fallen beside him!
Lin Fan imdiately picked up the dagger and held it in his hand to look at it. The blade was still stained with fresh blood, and it hadn't dried. It was evidently the sa blood as the one seeping from Lin Tianba's body, clearly showing that Lin Tianba was killed by this dagger!
"Does anyone recognize this dagger?" Lin Fan imdiately held up the dagger and asked.
"I recognize it!"
At this mont, a disciple suddenly shouted loudly, "Brother Fan, I've seen Lin Long use this dagger before!"
"Lin Long?"
This made Lin Fan even more confused. If this dagger really was used by Lin Long, and now Lin Long is missing, then it was very likely that Lin Long killed Lin Tianba!
But Lin Tianba was Lin Long's own grandfather, how could he kill his own grandfather?
"Brother Fan, there are footprints here!" A disciple suddenly shouted.
Lin Fan frowned, hurriedly walked over, and indeed saw several footprints left on a patch of land. Judging by the depth and dryness of the footprints, they matched very closely with Lin Tianba's ti of death!
"However, these are two people's footprints. One might be Lin Long, but the other footprint doesn't match Lin Tianba's shoes. Who is the other person?"
Lin Fan pondered for a mont, a flash of light in his eyes, and hurriedly asked Lin Kongxian, "Old man, did you get evidence of Lin Tianba colluding with outside forces?"
"Indeed!" Lin Kongxian nodded.
"Then that's it! Lin Tianba might very well have been killed by Lin Long, but I don't know Lin Long's motive for murder. However, it must be related to the person he was colluding with!" Lin Fan concluded in his heart!
But upon hearing this, many disciples around them gasped!
A grandson killing his own grandfather, such a brutal scene!
Lin Fan turned to Lin Kongxian and asked, "Old man, how should we handle this?"
"Lin Tianba was indeed tragic, but also deserved death. Have him buried!" Lin Kongxian lazily waved his hand, stared at Lin Tianba's body for a mont, sighed silently, and then turned to walk toward the sect!
In fact, Lin Kongxian didn't wish to see this scene occur either, after all, Lin Tianba and others were top masters, highly significant in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. Their deaths would surely reduce the strength of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!
Lin Fan knew Lin Kongxian's thoughts and also sighed helplessly. Once you enter the Martial World, you're no longer in control of yourself!
Martial World people, after all, lived a life with one foot in heaven and the other in hell!
"Leave a few people to bury Lin Tianba, the rest return to the sect for arrangents!" Lin Fan commanded!
"Understood!"
The group of disciples imdiately shouted loudly!
With Lin Tianba dead and Lin Long missing, Lin Fan was even more firmly seated as the heir to the Sect Leader. How could these disciples dare slow down Lin Fan's orders?
After this internal turmoil, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was severely damaged, especially the small courtyard, now completely abandoned, windows smashed, and walls toppled!
Lin Fan ordered all of Lin Tianba's belongings to be destroyed by fire, and his room was completely demolished to be rebuilt!
Thus, the entire Sun and Moon Divine Sect's disciples were kept busy.
No workers could be hired here, so they had to build the house themselves.
In the following days, Lin Fan played the role of site supervisor, instructing so disciples to build houses.
Of course, he would often visit Su Yanyu and Gu Qingcheng, who shared the sa room, but their relationship still showed no signs of progress!
As for junior sister Lin Qianxiao, she would still co to Lin Fan's room every day and then shut herself in. Lin Fan visited her a few tis, but ever since that evening, he had not seen his junior sister again!
Ti flowed like water, slipping by, and it was already New Year's Eve!
For the people of Huaxia, New Year's Eve is already like New Year, Huaxia people attach great importance to this festival, and for those in the Martial World, this festival is even more crucial!
In the morning, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect began setting off firecrackers, marking the farewell to the old and the preparation to welco a new year!
According to tradition, this day, everyone had already made offerings, and the entire Sun and Moon Divine Sect was filled with the air of the New Year. And in the morning, snowflakes fluttered in the sky, the snow was light, floating beautifully, adding more charm to New Year's Eve!
The sect's chef disciples prepared a superb New Year's Eve dinner, forgetting the ominous events of the previous days with Lin Tianba. The atmosphere was joyous, with everyone chatting about New Year's blessings and making little jokes!
At night, all the disciples in the sect gathered together, each stepping forward to toast Lin Kongxian. And also today, Lin Kongxian officially announced handing over his position as Sect Leader to Lin Fan, choosing to retreat to the background!
